"...This is the legendary No. 81 Chaonei, the famous haunted house. It is now a famous filming location. Maybe there are scenes here in the films and TV dramas of the Republic of China that you have watched."
As Wang Qi walked, he introduced this haunted house to the audience.
Lao Chen was holding a selfie stick and was in charge of taking photos.
Xiao Gao is holding the tablet and is responsible for handling the order and barrage in the live broadcast room.
Linlin is not here, she is guarding Xiaozhan.
Mainly because I'm worried about what kind of trouble this drama zombie might cause...
Wang Qi took everyone around the various buildings in the haunted house and greeted the crew members from time to time.
The crew members were also very cooperative.
This comes from the instructions of producer Cao Pinghe and director.
Although Wang Qi firmly believes that he is here to popularize science and refute rumors.
But everyone knows that he is here to catch ghosts...
Because Chaonei No. 81 is so famous, Wang Qi wanted to live broadcast here, which aroused the interest of many people.
As soon as it started airing, the number of people online reached 1.2 million, and it continues to grow.
It can be regarded as a blessing to this famous supernatural place.
Now the popularity value calculated by Wang Qi's system has reached nearly 170,000.
Each of his live broadcasts can increase his popularity by 5,000 to 8,000 points.
Although Wang Qi still hasn't figured out how the system calculates the popularity value, this live broadcast is more popular than before.
The increase in popularity will definitely be considerable.
"This is the most famous haunted house in China!"
"Xiaoqi is awesome!"
"I heard this place has been haunted lately?"
"Nonsense, if it's not haunted, can our Xiaoqi show up?"
"Looking for some popular science, what is going on in Chaonei No. 81 Haunted House?"
The live broadcast room was almost filled with dense barrages.
No. 81 occupies a large area, and the crew used only half of it for filming.
The rest of the place is in darkness.
It gives people a very eerie feeling.
There are many rooms here. In the past, the crew could stay here when they were filming.
But now because of the rumors of being haunted, many people will leave here to find other places to live after the crew stops working at night.
So most of the rooms were empty.
After Wang Qi gave everyone an introduction, they came to a side room.
A middle-aged man in his forties is waiting here.
The man is an extra in the crew and a "group leader" who is responsible for helping the crew recruit extras.
Film and television dramas of the Republic of China have become very popular in recent years.
Mainly because some subjects that are difficult to photograph in modern times can be placed in the context of the Republic of China to avoid dangers.
Chaonei No. 81, a house that maintains the style of the Republic of China, has become a very popular filming location.
This leader of the group is active around here and has been doing this job for several years.
I know this haunted house very well, inside and out, and all the legends.
Wang Qi has already agreed with the group leader to interview him during the live broadcast and listen to him talk about the supernatural legends in this mansion.
The group leader readily agreed.
Seeing Wang Qi coming over with the live broadcast room, the group leaders who were sitting on stools smoking quickly threw away their cigarette butts and greeted everyone with a smile.
"I have been here for three or four years, and no one knows this place better than me."
The leader of the group has a very forthright personality and does not show any shyness in front of the camera.
"Actually, I used to be an actor, and my acting skills were pretty good. You may have seen me in some TV series or movies."
Which extra performer doesn't have the desire to be a star?
The group leader knew that Wang Qi's live broadcast had a lot of viewers, so he seemed very expressive: "How about I perform with everyone now?"
"No hurry, no hurry."
Wang Qi quickly calmed the restless hearts of the group: "You'd better tell us the supernatural story that happened in this mansion first."
"Okay, then I'll perform with everyone later."
The group leader nodded: "Let me tell you some supernatural stories here."
He coughed in his mouth, gathering emotions.
Then he began to narrate: "This haunted house has a history of more than a hundred years. It is said that during the Republic of China, an officer once used this place as his residence..."
The officer had a favored concubine.
But this concubine has never been able to conceive a child.
She was anxious, and she was even more anxious when she saw that her wife helped the officer give birth to children one after another.
I am deeply afraid that one day I will fall out of favor and have no one to rely on.
Then, she heard an evil folk remedy from somewhere.
This folk remedy will kill other pregnant women and use their unformed fetuses as medicine.
At that time, my concubine was also obsessed with the situation and secretly borrowed the power of the military officer to frequently harm pregnant women living nearby.
It made people nearby panic.
In the end, the incident was revealed to the officer.
Is this a good thing? In line with the people's wishes, the concubine was divorced on the spot.
But that night.
I don't know whether this concubine is haunted by a grudge after having done all the bad things, or she is still harboring resentment and is unwilling to be divorced.
He actually hanged himself in the mansion...
The leader of the group told the story slowly and quietly.
With its cadence and vivid expressions, it is full of atmosphere.
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the beam behind Wang Qi.
"Well, this is where she hanged herself." The leader of the group said calmly.
I'm going!
This time it was like thunder in the live broadcast room.
It turns out that this is where the ghost story takes place?
Telling supernatural stories in supernatural places is a program only available in the live broadcast room of Atheist Xiaoqi!
Wang Qi's face was full of surprise, and he quickly signaled to Lao Chen to quickly take pictures of the beams behind him.
Although the house has been renovated, it still maintains its original charm.
There is no ceiling on the roof, and a dark beam can be seen across the head.
"More than ten years ago, before this place was renovated, you could still see several hanging ropes on the beams." The group leader was very satisfied with the effect of his story and continued.
"How many ropes?" Wang Qi asked cooperatively.
"That's right." The group leader nodded.
Not long after the concubine's death, the domestic situation changed and the officers left the island.
The mansion fell into disuse.
But people who live nearby often hear women crying, plaintive and plaintive, coming from this mansion.
Then, many women who have lost hope in life will find this place involuntarily and choose to hang themselves here to end their lives.
It seems like there is something attractive about this place...
"Even now, occasionally someone will see the hanging concubine appearing under the beams of this room."
The group leader lowered his voice and pretended to be sinister for the camera: "I've seen it before."
The live broadcast room is blowing up again!
Although the audience watching the live broadcast is thousands of miles away.
Everything in this room can be seen through the camera. The camera in Lao Chen's hand turned to the beam at the right time.
The dark beams were shrouded in the shadow of electric lights.
This traditional structure is perfect for attaching a hanging rope.
The audience's first-person perspective creates an indescribable sense of sneakiness.
As the group leader narrated, it seemed as if the concubine was hanging under the beam...
But Xiao Gao and Lao Chen outside the camera couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
They had already seen the story told by the group leader in the report.
This is false. The Imperial City Spiritual Management Bureau has long confirmed that it is a fabrication made by intentional people.
In fact, if you search online, you can find the story told by the group leader. (Really, try it if you don’t believe me~)
Some viewers in the live broadcast room also claimed that they had heard of this supernatural rumor.
The group leader couldn't see the barrage in the live broadcast room, but he was very satisfied with the story he told.
But the group leader himself actually didn’t believe this story.
He has been a group performer here for three or four years and thinks he knows the place very well.
Even in the recent period, the cast of Jingcheng Juelian had frequent supernatural appearances, but he didn't take it seriously.
I think it was staged deliberately by the crew for the sake of hype.
Is this kind of thing rare in the entertainment industry?
It is nonsense to say that I have seen my concubine's ghost in this room.
Even the room where the rumored concubine hanged herself is not here.
But this is the essence of storytelling.
If you say you have seen it with your own eyes, the credibility of the story will be greatly enhanced.
As for the popular science anchor in front of him, he didn't think he was a professional ghost hunter like everyone said.
It's true that he is brave.
He told his story so wonderfully that the expression of this handsome young man did not change.
Occasionally, he would show a somewhat funny expression...
"My family, the stories told by the group leaders are very exciting, but it is obvious that they are all false."
At this time, just listening to Wang Qi started to popularize science: "Before today's live broadcast, I specially investigated the history of this haunted house. No military officer has ever used this place as a residence, and no one has hanged himself here..."
But when the group leader heard what Wang Qi said, he immediately became unhappy.
"Some things are hard to record. I saw my concubine with my own eyes, right in this room..."
He was going to describe the scene he "saw" at the beginning.
But at this moment, his expression suddenly stiffened.
In his eyes, a pair of dangling legs appeared behind Wang Qi.
The skirt of the cheongsam floats gently.
The trembling eyes of the group leader moved upward.
Then he saw a woman in cheongsam hanging under the beam.
A very beautiful and charming woman.
It's just that now the woman's neck is tightened by the rope, and her face is swollen into purple.
His eyes were wide open.
Those bloodshot eyes were looking at him condescendingly.
Yes...it's the concubine who hanged herself!
Wow!
The leader of the group trembled and fell down from the stool he was sitting on.
His face was full of horror, and he rolled and crawled back.
He pointed behind Wang Qi with trembling fingers.
"Ghost, there is a ghost... Madam, she, she really appeared here..." he shouted hoarsely.
Veins even popped out on his face because of fear.
Both Wang Qi and the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned when they saw this sudden scene.
Xiao Gao and Lao Chen subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by the group leader.
But in their spiritual vision, there was nothing.
There is no supernatural aura about the group leader either.
When Xiao Gao and Lao Chen were confused, they heard Wang Qi suddenly realize: "Family members, the group leaders are showing off their acting skills for us..."
He quickly took the selfie stick from Lao Chen.
Take charge personally and go to the front of the group.
"Ghost, there is a ghost over there, my concubine, she is right there!" the group leader shouted heartbreakingly.
Wang Qi pointed the camera at the face of the group leader and explained to everyone: "The group leader is now playing the scene after seeing a ghost. This acting is amazing, so contagious and layered..."
The leader of the group retreated to a position against the wall, and he was so anxious that tears came out: "You? Look back, she is really there, ah-"
"Awesome! These tears come as soon as you say they come, and this alone is much stronger than the flow of fresh meat!" Wang Qi exclaimed.
In the live broadcast room, there was an endless stream of comments.
"Is this group leader good at acting?"
"Why do I think he really saw a ghost..."
"This shows that his performance is infectious!"
"This damn performance is definitely movie-star-level!"
"We won't watch any domestic blockbusters in the future without you!"
