Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 221 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment (6)

A bloodcurdling scream echoed down the corridor.

Gu Shijiu looked down at the person who was hugging her, who was wearing the uniform of the Special Incident Handling Team.

The live stream chat was filled with laughter.

"6187 is actually afraid of ghosts? What world did he come from?"

"It's definitely not from our supernatural world. If you've ever seen a ghost, you'll know there's nothing to be afraid of, especially one that can ascend to the ethereal immortal realm."

"I almost dropped the fire extinguisher, but then I realized it was my teammate."

Gu Shijiu was quite pleased to see Shi Qi so early: "How come I didn't know you were afraid of ghosts?"

They had seen ghosts and monsters before, but he wasn't afraid at all.

"Oh dear, you were there back then~" Shi Qi nudged Gu Shijiu's clothes.

Actually, it's because Shi Qi had researched this character, but it's not appropriate to mention it in the current storyline.

Um... okay.

When Zhang Cheng came out of the room, he saw the two of them chatting and laughing.

"Xiao Wang, do you know Miss Gu?" Zhang Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

He had already asked the team, and this Xiao Wang was the new assistant assigned to him.

Although he is an ability user, he is very timid, and the group specifically sent him here to train his courage.

Shi Qi scratched his head: "Hehe, the team leader is here too."

Zhang Cheng's question was not answered.

Zhang Cheng was in the room discussing the next action plan with Jiang Jiadong when he heard the cries for help and thought something terrible had happened.

I rushed over in a panic, only to find this scene.

Jiang Jiadong followed behind, feeling somewhat uneasy.

This new colleague is of average appearance, average ability, and timid. Miss Gu is as cold as ice when she's with him, yet she's very close to him.

Jiang Jiadong looked the newbie up and down but couldn't see anything special about him. Maybe Miss Gu just had a peculiar sense of aesthetics.

The questions in the live stream room grew even larger.

"This is 6187? It's completely different from before."

"What kind of acting style is this? I can't tell."

"How strange, this Xiao Wang is so ordinary, like someone randomly picked from a crowd, how come 6187 plays him so convincingly?"

......

"How did you end up here?" Gu Shijiu was still whispering with Shi Qi.

"I'm now a cowardly employee in the special incident handling team, here to do odd jobs for a taciturn and arrogant guy."

The taciturn and the arrogant: They admit to being cowardly, yet they speak ill of their superiors to their faces.

It was pouring rain outside, and the entire corridor was dark; it wasn't the time to talk.

Zhang Cheng pulled Shi Qi over, not intending to hold his words against him at such a dangerous time.

Even Jiang Jiadong frowned, intending to persuade Gu Shijiu to go back to her room, but paused when his gaze swept over Shi Qi's shoulder.

"Xiao Wang, did you encounter anyone else when you came up?" Jiang Jiadong's tone turned somber.

Shi Qi thought for a moment: "No, what's wrong?"

As he asked, he turned around, and Gu Shijiu saw it too: "There's a bloody handprint on your right shoulder, could it be that you were marked by a ghost!"

Gu Shijiu's tone was somewhat excited.

Zhang Cheng and Jiang Jiadong both felt that they could hear a hint of expectation in his words.

Jiang Jiadong suddenly felt a surge of anger: "You bunch of suicidal fools, do you know how dangerous this is?"

Judging from your wealthy and powerful appearance, if something really happens to you, the higher-ups will come after us again!

Zhang Cheng took out a pump bottle from his pocket, which was half-filled with a clear, unidentified liquid.

With two "plop" sounds, Jiang Jiadong was sprayed with water all over his face by Zhang Cheng's bottles.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, team leader, what are you doing? This stuff tastes awful." Jiang Jiadong's mouth tasted bitter.

Zhang Cheng continued his tirade: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Jiadong gradually calmed down: "This ghost is amazing. It can affect people's emotions from such a distance."

Seeing that he had recovered, Zhang Cheng took back the bottle with a touch of heartache: "Be careful. There's only a little Qingxin Liquid left, and we'll have to submit a report if we want to apply for more."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang echoed in the hallway, and the motion-sensor light on the ceiling suddenly turned on, casting a dim yellow light that filled the narrow space.

The next moment, the elevator emitted a familiar hum.

Gu Shijiu and the other three turned their gaze to the other side, where the tightly closed elevator doors opened again, and a figure staggered out from inside.

The man who emerged was tall and had a fierce look on his face. He was wearing a thin coat stained with blood and was carrying an axe.

Gu Shijiu glanced at the man, instinctively using her arm to shield Shi Qi behind her, looking at him with some wariness;

Just then, she bumped into Shi Qi's outstretched hand, and the other person did the same thing as her.

Gu Shijiu, no longer the naive girl she once was, nudged Shi Qi with her elbow: "Honey, you're out of character."

How could a timid person possibly protect others as their first instinct?

Shi Qi touched her nose somewhat embarrassedly and hid behind Gu Shijiu.

Jiang Jiadong, who witnessed the whole process: What is OOC?

“You guys hurry to 1686. This is Xu Zhongtian’s ghost. He marked Xiao Wang and will definitely go straight for you. Let’s hold him off first.”

Zhang Cheng gave Shi Qi a push.

Jiang Jiadong added, "If he asks us later if we've seen our family members, you absolutely must not answer."

If you answer no, you'll be chased and attacked; if you answer yes, he'll ask you where you saw it.

If you can't answer or give the wrong answer, you'll still be eliminated. To date, no one knows the correct answer.

Before Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi could reply, Xu Zhongtian had already walked out of the elevator with his neck tilted to the side, his eyes stiff as he looked around at everyone present.

"Excuse me... did you see my...?" Xu Zhongtian managed to utter.

The group felt a chill run down their spines; they had arrived.

"...Did you get the key?" Xu Zhongtian slowly uttered the last few words.

Wait, shouldn't we ask our family?

Gu Shijiu glanced at Zhang Cheng with a suspicious look, feeling that this organization was unreliable.

But it doesn't matter, so what if she gets chopped up? She really wanted to try it, and said decisively, "I didn't see it!"

At the same time, Shi Qi peeked out from behind: "I saw it."

Zhang Cheng and Jiang Jiadong: Damn it, you two idiots.

Gu Shijiu was preparing to face Xu Zhongtian's axe attack when, unexpectedly, the other party rushed directly towards Shi Qi.

"Hey? Shouldn't you be asking where it is? How can you be so uncivilized?" Shi Qi jumped around to avoid him.

Gu Shijiu was also full of questions, but now was clearly not the time to think about them.

Just as the axe was about to strike Shi Qi's head, she quickly threw out the fire extinguisher in her hand.

The fire extinguisher struck the handle of the axe, bounced off, and knocked the falling axe off course.

At the same time, Gu Shijiu pounced on Xu Zhongtian, went around behind him, and pressed him down on the shoulder.

A hissing sound of corrosion came, and Xu Zhongtian cried out in pain as he struggled to break free.

This is a supernatural scenario. Gu Shijiu's passive skill was partially activated, and she gained a lot of energy in that last round.

Xu Zhongtian's shoulder looked as if a large hole had been burned through it, revealing the bright red muscle tissue and stark white bones underneath.

If it weren't for the restrictions imposed during the game, this ghost would probably be stuck and unable to move by now.

Gu Shijiu looked somewhat disappointed, while Zhang Cheng and Jiang Jiadong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

This woman is amazing; she can actually fight high-level evil spirits with her bare hands.

Seeing Shi Qi standing there in a daze, Jiang Jiadong opened the door to room 1686 and kicked him inside.

only--

"Ah!!! What are all these?" Shi Qi, remembering her character, was so frightened by the strange items filling the room that she tumbled and crawled away.

"What is it now?" Jiang Jiadong asked irritably, feeling overwhelmed.

“There are ghosts inside too.” Shi Qi looked quite frightened, pointing at the room with a trembling finger.

Jiang Jiadong was furious: "Those are all special items that I applied for."

Gu Shijiu was drawn to their conversation and slowed down her movements.

Zhang Cheng was no match for Xu Zhongtian. He was hit on the arm by an axe, let out a muffled groan, and slammed into the corner of the wall, almost losing consciousness.

Gu Shijiu quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher and smashed it down on Xu Zhongtian's head.

However, Xu Zhongtian's defense was astonishing; even though the back of his head had been dented, it did not affect his mobility.

As Xu Zhongtian drew closer, Shi Qi had a sudden inspiration and said, "I know where your key is!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhongtian froze on the spot.
