Chapter 575: Abandoned Hospital
Bai Rong did not want to lose out, so she could only try her best to maintain her smile and act as if it did not matter to her.
Just then, Fang Mo’er’s phone rang.
She took it out and took a look and found that it was a video call from Shi Mo.
Ignoring Bai Rong, she walked to the side to answer the call.
Fang Mo’er seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled and said, “Your timing is really good. We only just dispersed.”
“I’ve been watching the live broadcast.”
Shi Mo looked at Fang Mo’er’s carefree smile and frowned. He said unhappily, “You’ll be going to the haunted house to sleep tonight. The recording will only start tomorrow and the staff won’t be accompanying you. Why don’t you pull out from filming this show?”
Usually, everyone would be scared out of their wits even when they went to the haunted house during the day. Fang Mo’er was just a girl. It was inappropriate for her to sleep there at night.
Fang Mo’er knew that Shi Mo was worried about her, so she quickly comforted him, “No, no, it’s fine. It’s nothing. We still don’t know where we’ll be filming. It might not be that scary. Besides, it’s just a variety show. The program team will definitely prioritize the safety of the guests.”
Seeing that Fang Mo’er was insisting on participating, Shi Mo did not stop her. Instead, he instructed, “Since that’s the case, send me the location when you get there.”
“Sure.” Fang Mo’er agreed with a smile.
The two of them chatted for a while more until Fang Mo’er heard Assistant Yu’s voice in the background. Knowing that Shi Mo was busy with work, she ended the call.
Everyone rested for a while. When it was almost eight o’clock, the director began to call out to Fang Mo’er and the two others.
“Miss Fang, Mr. Xiao, Miss Bai, it’s time for us to set off.”
The guests were taken to a bus with a cameraman following them. Unfortunately, none of the three guests interacted with each other, with no one speaking at all. The cameraman followed them all the way yet he did not manage to capture any valuable footage.
The destination was indeed a little far. The bus drove for more than half an hour at full speed without any traffic jams.
Darkness only came late in the summer so the afterglow from the sun could still be seen faintly even at around eight o’clock.
Fang Mo’er had been looking out of the window silently. The road became more and more remote until they could not even see a single house around. The roadside was filled with lush trees and weeds. If they looked further into the distance, they would not be able to see anything as the forest was pitch black.
The outside got progressively darker until they could not see anything at all until soon, the car had reached their destination.
Fang Mo’er and the others got out of the car. With the help of the car’s lights, the scene that greeted them made their jaws drop. Even Fang Mo’er was shocked.
She finally understood why the emcee had not said anything. The place they had just come to was an abandoned hospital!
The hospital was very big and was about three stories high. It was surrounded by iron fences that were about two meters tall and had barbed wire at the top, which was probably to prevent people from climbing over the walls.
Being illuminated by the car lights, Fang Mo’er could see that the metal doors were rusted and dilapidated. It was obvious that this place had been abandoned for many years and that there was no sign of life here at all.
The lights had not been turned on in the hospital. From the outside, the windows looked pitch-black. In the dark, it looked like a monster lurking in the dark, opening its mouth silently, ready to swallow anyone who came close.
If the other people had known that they would be sleeping in the abandoned hospital and that the program team would not be accompanying them, they would probably have just given up.
The small group of people here had already given up. Bai Rong’s face had become even paler. She suddenly regretted participating in this program. The program team had gone too far.
“Are we really going to stay there? Why isn’t the director’s team accompanying us?” Bai Rong’s voice was already trembling. The ghost movies that she had watched before were constantly playing in her mind like a slide show. She wanted to withdraw from the program.
At the moment, only two cameramen and a driver had come with them. Even if they were to go inside with them, it would still not be able to alleviate the fear.
The driver acted as the host as he explained to everyone, “Everyone, please don’t worry. The production team has already checked the location in advance and installed cameras in all directions. There are no blind spots at all. They will monitor us at all times to ensure everyone’s safety. Also, the director’s team is actually here too. They are nearby and are responsible for protecting everyone. However, they can’t show their faces. If they did, it wouldn’t be as exciting.
“Everyone, do you have any questions? If you don’t, then you may go in. There are many wards inside. Every bed has been made with fresh bedding by the program team, so you can sleep anywhere you want.”
The three guests, “…”
What did they mean by being able to sleep anywhere you want? Why did it sound so awkward?
Fang Mo’er understood. No wonder they had not seen the director when they left. He had already come earlier.
