Chapter 193: Chapter 193: You Might As Well Just Kill Me

"""

[What? What do they mean by ’they’?]

[It’s not the Mountain Deity, nor ’it’, but ’they’...]

[I’m suddenly a bit worried about what the production team will do.]

[What are ’they’? Is my girl planning to stay up all night staking out? That’s way too dangerous!]

[What about the live broadcast? What if something happens to her if we don’t keep it running?]

[Would keeping the live broadcast on stop something from happening?]

[If something happens during the live broadcast, we can call the police...]

[It’s too dangerous, though they haven’t hurt anyone, what if?]

[If my girl insists on staking out for the real culprit at night, I strongly demand the live broadcast stays on tonight.]

Director Clark, staring at the live-streaming room situation and listening to Scarlett Jennings’s words, along with the bullet comments from the audience, felt like his head was going to explode.

Was Scarlett Jennings really planning to stake out for the culprit in the middle of the night?

Although it’s a program task, this sounded really dangerous.

If something happened to her on the show, let alone the entire Inspiration production team, but Lemon Video would also suffer.

However, before the director could reach out to Scarlett Jennings to discuss her methods, Scarlett and another member of her group ran into Evander Simpson’s group within the camera frame.

Scarlett shared her findings and plans for the night with Evander, who, after listening, said,

"I plan to stay at that ginseng keeper’s house on the mountainside tonight to see what kind of supernatural creatures are causing trouble."

The idea was much bolder compared to Scarlett Jennings’s plan.

Director Clark...

suddenly felt like he was going to faint.

What, are all you Mystical Sect people so daring in your actions?

Going into the mountains at night, are you tired of living?

Why don’t you just get it over with and kill me?

Fearing the two might finalize their dangerous plans at any moment, Director Clark hurriedly passed orders through to the filming crew responsible for following them.

"Tell Scarlett Jennings and Evander Simpson that their plans have been rejected by the production team. They are not permitted to act alone under conditions where personal safety cannot be guaranteed!"

His tone was unusually stern.

The cameraman quickly relayed Director Clark’s stance back to the two.

Evander frowned subtly upon hearing he wasn’t allowed into the mountains, feeling the director’s constraints were too restrictive.

After all, if one wished to uncover the truth, staking out was the fastest way.

Evander completely forgot this was just a variety show and was purely focused on finding and solving what had been troubling the villagers so much.

Director Clark, seeing Evander was still not convinced and fearing he might ignore the warnings, left the filming crew and sprinted towards where the two were.

He intended to persuade them in person!

Amber Livingston and Spencer Atkins, who had been wandering the village looking for clues, suddenly noticed Director Clark hurrying in a certain direction and quickly followed with the cameraman.

Thus, six guests inexplicably gathered.

Director Clark rarely disregarded his image, warning them with a serious and piercing look,

"The production team has safety regulations! No solo activities are allowed at night once the live broadcast ends, especially not entering the mountains."

Amber Livingston and Spencer Atkins looked baffled at first but listened and realized Evander Simpson planned to stay a night in the mountains, awaiting opportunities. The admiration was evident in their eyes.

Aren’t today’s Taoists a bit too bold?

Isn’t he scared?

Upon hearing Scarlett Jennings also planned to stake out the real culprit at night, the two were even more astounded.

The enthusiasm of these two made them seem a bit useless by comparison.

Scarlett Jennings initially thought the director simply negated Evander Simpson’s plan to stay in the mountains at night, but unexpectedly, he also disapproved of hers.

At that, she frowned slightly,

"We can agree not to enter the mountains at night, but prohibiting any night action is impossible."

Before Director Clark could respond, Scarlett Jennings spoke earnestly,

"Creatures in the mountains often prefer night activities. Disruptions and damages in the village and the mountains also happen mostly at night. If night actions are prohibited, catching the real culprits is nearly impossible."

Director Clark almost wanted to drop to his knees upon hearing this.

The initial expectation from the production team was to uncover the truth, not to catch the criminal!

Catching criminals is a police job; how could he genuinely have a group of guests do that?

As long as they found the truth with credible evidence, that would suffice in completing the show’s task, but obviously, Scarlett Jennings and Evander Simpson were overcomplicating matters.

Sensing Director Clark’s thoughts, Evander explained, "To determine if the supernatural creatures are causing trouble in the mountains, we need to catch them first to understand the reason behind it."

Neither of them wanted to back down; Director Clark had no way to deal with them but to comfort himself. Even if they did stay up at night, it wouldn’t necessarily mean the opponent would indeed come and cause trouble.

Plus, with so many staff in their production team, there shouldn’t be any incident if they kept a watchful eye.

The matter was thus settled.

Scarlett Jennings and Evander Simpson began discussing what to prepare for the night.

Ariel Zimmerman and Sebastian Carew stood aside, unable to get a word in.

"Do we also have to stay up tonight?"

Ariel weakly asked, even though the production team provided Amulets for protection, participating in such actions still inevitably made her both excited and scared.

Scarlett Jennings glanced at her, saying simply, "You rest normally. I’ll guard you."

That simple comment suddenly struck a chord with Ariel, and at the same time, the live-streaming room erupted in cheers.

[Why did my girl just now feel so impressive? Even though she’s the younger one!]

[Ahhhh, she’s so cool! I love her!]

[My Cha-Cha’s lackluster appearance let everyone see it.]

[Woo woo, I also want to be watched over by her all night!]

Amber Livingston and Spencer Atkins stood pitifully on the side, like abandoned children. They hadn’t got a word in since the beginning.

Now, hearing Scarlett Jennings’s words, Spencer’s gaze seemed to linger on her face for a moment, before stepping forward and saying,

"It’s too dangerous for a girl to guard alone. Why don’t I accompany you? I’m a guy, and I work out regularly. If anything really happens, I can protect you."

Confident in his demeanor, Spencer seemed to carry subtle intentions beyond self-assurance.

Sebastian Carew, listening beside him, frowned slightly, while the live-streaming audience seemed to sense Spencer’s special attitude towards Scarlett Jennings.

Some even speculated whether Spencer Atkins had a crush on Scarlett Jennings and wanted to court her.

Scarlett Jennings remained indifferent to Spencer’s initiative, her expression unchanged, maintaining a composed demeanor, as if she hadn’t noticed the implication in his words, and simply, dismissively replied,

"No need. You’d just be a burden."

Scarlett’s words came across a bit proud, and instantly, Spencer’s fans expressed displeasure in the live stream.

They felt Scarlett Jennings was ungrateful and impolite.

But Scarlett was unaware of this; as darkness fell, she settled into the plan made with Evander, keeping watch over the temporary lodgings, awaiting the arrival of the deep night.

Director Clark, despite his disapproval, considering various reasons, ultimately didn’t end the live broadcast as in the first two episodes and instructed the cameraman to be on standby the entire time.

Everything was ready.

But, approaching midnight, someone quietly stepped out from a nearby house. It was Spencer Atkins, who had been previously rejected by Scarlett Jennings.

He cautiously approached the house where Scarlett was staying.

Determined to secretly accompany her tonight, he was resolved to make Scarlett Jennings look at him differently.
