Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Living in the "Grave

Chase Jennings’s voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for the people present to hear distinctly.

Ariel Zimmerman’s eyes widened slightly, seeming incredulous that she would oppose such a division.

She had already voiced her opinion first.

"Why?"

Ariel pouted, looking somewhat displeased at Scarlett Jennings, her eyes filled with scrutiny, as if wanting to see if the other held the same intent as herself.

She had joined this variety show entirely for the sake of Sebastian.

In the live stream, Ariel’s fans saw their idol pouting and immediately launched a tirade against Scarlett.

"Who does Scarlett Jennings think she is to object?"

"I see what’s going on, she wants to partner with Sebastian too, got to admit, good choice."

"No need to be so sarcastic, if you had to choose between Sebastian and Amber, wouldn’t you?"

"As if it’s a beauty pageant, if they’re choosing CPs now, sure it’s Sebastian, but this is a variety show!"

"Teaming up with Sebastian means more attention and traffic, even a fool knows what to choose!"

"Sob sob, our Amber is being spurned, so pitiful."

"Scarlett Jennings is too agenda-driven, really don’t like her! Can she just get out of the show?!"

"Ariel isn’t agenda-driven? Why only talk about one and not the other?"

"Of course, it’s because their celebrity status is different."

The livestream’s barrage started to get noisy.

But these did not affect the guests in front of the camera.

Scarlett faced Ariel’s seemingly whiny yet displeased questioning, and only said,

"Because the show’s setup doesn’t allow it."

A crisp, calm reply, devoid of any emotion, explained unhurriedly,

"Among the six guests in the show, I, Evander Simpson, and Amber Livingston, all have basic knowledge of esoteric studies. The show is positioned as an esoteric adventure, whether it is the program design or non-human factors, the post-production will definitely involve some esoteric-related knowledge. The presence of the three of us is to ensure that the show does not stray from this thematic scope, so the combination of celebrities and amateurs in two-person groups is the most reasonable."

Scarlett’s explanation was objective and clear, devoid of any personal feelings, yet Ariel still furrowed her brows, looking unconvinced.

Scarlett’s expression remained unchanged, she simply asked,

"Let me just ask, if you and Sebastian were paired, can you guarantee that when situations requiring esoteric knowledge arise, you can handle them?"

The livestream’s barrage targeting Scarlett’s words dissipated significantly.

"I got it, two muggles together won’t have happiness."

"Once you say ’muggle,’ I get it."

"I always thought the show’s setup was odd; didn’t expect there to be this reason, truly a top student summarization."

"No wait, isn’t this girl not even in school yet? How can she claim to represent esoteric categories??"

"Don’t underestimate any top student."

"They roll up people."

"Top students are mighty."

"What, this makes her a top student? Your standards for top students are way too low."

The barrage still contained attempts to disparage Scarlett, but these were quickly overshadowed by other comments.

In front of the livestream, Chase Jennings saw those underwater trolls being suppressed and inwardly cursed their impotence.

Here, Ariel, after hearing Scarlett’s explanation, finally showed an expression of understanding, though admittedly with a slight unwillingness. But facing the camera, she couldn’t be too overt, only expressing a demeanor of having understood but regrettably having no ties with Sebastian.

Then, she quietly moved beside Amber.

Scarlett, who was reaching out to welcome Ariel back into her group: ...

Did she forget that she could still choose to group with her?

Although Ariel was nicknamed Observation Tea, from her appearance, she was essentially simple, unlike Isolde Garrison who always brought aggression, making her quite refreshing.

Scarlett didn’t mind grouping with her.

But apparently, not only had Ariel forgotten about this option, Sebastian seemed to have forgotten as well.

Seeing Ariel automatically group with Amber, he simply assumed he was teaming with Scarlett.

The livestream’s barrage couldn’t help but laugh.

"Hahaha, seeing Scarlett’s ignored hand, I laughed myself to death. Who said this girl aimed for Sebastian, she was clearly aiming for Ariel!!"

"Hahahaha, that moment of embarrassment in the girl’s eyes, I could replay it a hundred times."

"Didn’t expect you to be such a girl!"

"Girls actually prefer to hang out with other girls; we don’t engage in any kind of rivalry."

Scarlett wasn’t aware of the barrage’s mocking comments; seeing everyone agree on the grouping, she said nothing more.

The six of them entered the house.

Indeed, it had been tidied up a bit by the staff. If not for the somewhat dimly lit interior, this house could be said to be beautifully decorated.

Now, as they stood inside, it was evident that the east window of the house was blocked by a large tree, and although it was daytime, the house inexplicably gave a dark and cramped feeling.

Evander walked ahead, glancing around slightly, and frowned slightly,

"A big tree blocks the light, only the west-facing side of the house is unobstructed. The house overall is yin, along with the two cypress trees planted outside the front door, the geomancy of this place is problematic."

As the senior brother of the Clear Breeze Temple, Evander clearly spoke about geomancy with a lot of expertise, a bit like a master.

Ariel asked in her ignorance, "What’s wrong with cypress trees?"

Evander responded, "Cypress trees are known as tomb trees; do you think planting two cypress trees, one on each side of the door, makes this house resemble anything?"

Ariel looked confused, clearly not understanding esoteric matters at all.

"Resemble what?"

"Like a tomb." Sebastian suddenly spoke, his starry eyes glancing around the room,

"People rarely use arched designs in renovations because there’s a saying that the arch resembles a tomb gate, some places even have explicit taboos against it. Although this house is said to be of traditional design, it really favors using arched designs."

With Sebastian’s explanation, the others, including the livestream audience, noticed that there were indeed many arched designs in the house.

Besides this one at the top of the stairs, even the windows and restroom doors were all made in arched designs.

Audiences who initially thought of the house as beautifully designed immediately felt chills down their spines.

"Sebastian’s right!"

"Not surprised Sebastian knows so much!"

"Clearly, Sebastian has done his homework, unlike others!"

"Oh my god, I’m getting goosebumps, this house really feels wrong!"

"Wait, if we follow Sebastian’s explanation, aren’t they now living in a **..."

The last two words, the internet users dared not type out.

But both the audience in the livestream and the guests present clearly realized.

They had moved into a "tomb."
