Chapter 325: Chapter 326 "Who is the Deceased" Survival Game

"Knock, knock!" A series of knocks sounded, and He Jinxia ran to open the door. A young male celebrity, unfamiliar to her, appeared before her eyes.

Upon seeing He Jinxia, the male celebrity’s eyes lit up as he eagerly extended his hand, "Hello, Teacher Jinxia, I’m Ren Xiao. I’m a fan of yours. Your work in ’Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!’ and ’Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People’ was truly amazing!"

He Jinxia was momentarily stunned, not expecting to encounter her own fan among celebrities.

A thought suddenly popped into her head, could it be that her charm had evolved from conquering trainees to captivating celebrities?

She shivered slightly, no, no, no, she shouldn’t be so narcissistic, that just wouldn’t do.

"Ren Xiao, hello, I am He Jinxia. May I ask what character you are?" He Jinxia regained her composure and asked.

Ren Xiao had a handsome face and looked quite young, with fair skin; his smile revealed a set of white teeth that gave off a strong first-love heartthrob vibe.

It was no surprise that Jinxia did not recognize him, as he had recently become a sensation on W blog, and was also an actor who played the male number three in a TV series.

Because the character he portrayed was particularly likable, even though the drama wasn’t a hit, he somehow became unexpectedly popular. Netizens named him one of the top ten celebrities with the vibe of a school heartthrob this year.

While riding on this wave of popularity, his management company pulled some strings to secure him the spot of a temporary new guest on the show "Youth on Fire."

As for whether Ren Xiao was genuinely a fan of He Jinxia, only his own heart knew the truth.

Ren Xiao spoke respectfully, "Senior, the ’Character Card’ I received is that of a ’social youth.’ What about you?"

He Jinxia waved her hand modestly and said kindly, "No need for formalities with me, just call me by my name, we’re peers after all."

She blinked playfully and said, "When you speak to me like that, it really puts a lot of pressure on me!"

Ren Xiao chuckled and nodded, "Sure thing, senior."

He Jinxia smiled and reminded him kindly, "You just made a mistake again."

Ren Xiao realized his slip, quickly corrected himself, "No, no, I mean, that was just a habit, okay, Jinxia."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down and started a conversation.

He Jinxia said, "I received the ’teacher’ ’Character Card.’ You are a ’social youth.’ I wonder what ’Character Cards’ the others got. Oh, did you see anything when you came in?"

Ren Xiao quickly slipped into the mentality of recording the program, thought for a moment, and said, "I was led in by the butler. When I entered the villa, I saw a sign at the door saying they were offering a hefty reward for detectives to solve a series of murder cases."

While they were talking, another male celebrity walked into the living room, a man with a sincere and honest appearance, who was a regular guest on the program: Wang Tao.

Wang Tao might not have had a striking appearance, but his acting skills were truly profound, especially in comedy films. He brought joy to the audience while also inducing a sense of caution, which some said was the charm of Wang Tao’s performances.

There are many things in the world that can make people laugh, but very few that can make someone cry and laugh at the same time.

He Jinxia, having researched several of the regular guests before coming on the show, quickly stood up to greet Wang Tao when she saw him.

Unlike Jinxia, who didn’t know Ren Xiao at all, Wang Tao was very familiar with both of them.

"Xiao Ren, Xiao He, tell me, what ’Character Cards’ did you get?" Wang Tao, having taken a seat, got straight to the point without any small talk.

Both He Jinxia and Ren Xiao became serious upon hearing this and shared their respective roles, while Wang Tao also revealed his own character, a singer.

The pace of the show clearly sped up, and someone came to the villa again, this time it was two people arriving at the same time: the show’s regular male guest, Lin Qingzhu, and the regular female guest, Ouyang Baoer.

Lin Qingzhu was somewhat thin and of average looks. For a celebrity, his appearance could even be considered ugly, but he had a good sense of humor and was an old friend of Wang Tao’s for many years.

Ouyang Baoer had a youthful and pretty appearance, a female star who rose to fame last year through her participation in variety shows, just sixteen years old, with no specific role designated in the entertainment circle, having acted in several movies and TV dramas as well as released a few songs.

The five people gathered together and took out their Character Cards, fully revealing their identities.

The Identity Card that Ouyang Baoer received was also that of a singer, while Lin Qingzhu’s was that of a policeman. Once the identities of the five guests were mutually known, suddenly, a loud "bang" echoed throughout the entire villa.

He Jinxia frowned, looking around, unaware of what mishap had occurred.

Lin Qingzhu and the other two regular guests were seasoned, having automatically equipped themselves with immunity to the tricks that the show crew would spring from time to time. Seeing that He Jinxia and Ren Xiao were somewhat nervous, Lin Qingzhu couldn’t help saying, "Relax, it’s just the door being shut."

It’s just the door being shut...

The door was shut...

Shut it was...

Shut it my haha, oh, isn’t a shut door a sign of a serious problem?!

After all, the three steps of murder and arson start with shutting the door ╮(╯▽╰)╭

He Jinxia blinked her eyes, her peripheral vision catching Ren Xiao even more nervous than her, his legs constantly moving on the ground.

With someone more anxious than herself, He Jinxia suddenly felt at ease.

She wanted to ask something, but just at this moment, a series of urgent "beeping" alarm sounds went off inside the villa.

A flat, mechanical voice resonated throughout the entire villa, "Warning, a killer has infiltrated among those who came to investigate the case, warning, a killer has infiltrated among those who came to investigate the case..."

After repeating three times, the flat mechanical voice came to an abrupt stop, replaced by a ghastly-sounding sinister male laugh:

"Hehehe, one of you will die tonight! Hehehe, among you, who will be the one to die? If you can’t find out who’s the next victim, you might all die together~ ’Who is the victim’ survival game, is now officially starting, hehehe!"

After the voice had passed, the others looked at each other for a while, all somewhat bewildered.

In the silence, only Wang Tao could be heard exclaiming, "Oh no!"

Everyone hurriedly looked over, with Lin Qingzhu asking anxiously, "What’s wrong, don’t tell me you’re the killer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked nervously at Wang Tao.

The game had already begun. If someone was destined to die tonight, it would be the killer who killed him. Among those present, one was a killer, one was the next victim.

Wang Tao "tsked" at Lin Qingzhu, and the tense atmosphere suddenly shifted to a nostalgic one between old buddies.

He said, "Old Lin, you’re out of line there. We’ve known each other so long, how can you just stab me like that?!"

Lin Qingzhu laughed, "I’m a policeman, after all. Occupational sensitivity, I suppose. I’m sensitive around anyone."

Hey, that’s some quick role assimilation.
