The alarm bells in her mind had already rung. She stared intently at the piano that was playing without anyone touching the keys.
She walked over cautiously step by step. Before she had taken many steps, the tune suddenly changed to Liszt's Super Étude "Hunting".
Grace's face suddenly changed, and she stepped back.
Suddenly, the knives and forks on the dining table beside them flew up out of thin air, with the blades pointing at Grace and the cameraman, but neither of them had noticed yet.
The audience wished they could jump through the screen to warn them.
At the critical moment, Grace noticed. She quickly took out a bag from her bosom and scattered its contents in the direction of the table.
The knives and forks stopped in mid - air the moment they touched the things in the bag and then fell vertically to the ground. The two of them escaped this disaster.
The cameraman's legs trembled uncontrollably. He had just seen the cold - shining fork stop right in front of his eyes.
This was the feeling of surviving a near - death experience.
The blood that Grace scattered was dog blood. It was a traditional method in folk culture to ward off evil spirits, and it worked here, temporarily driving away the evil things.
She led the cameraman to retreat, but in the darkness, in their panic, they took the wrong door and walked into the castle garden.
Looking around, it was beautiful, really beautiful. The entire garden was filled with a sea of roses.
There was once a lyric that said, "To describe your beauty, ten thousand roses sacrificed themselves heroically."
The scene in front of them at this moment was just like a realistic portrayal of this lyric.
In the middle of the sea of flowers, there was a broad and flat expanse of water like a mirror, glittering and rippling.
The reflection of the flower bushes on the shore fell into the water, forming a strange and symmetrical picture, which was breathtaking. The clear and jade - like water reflected the vast sky, like a dream.
Walking along the small path paved with blue bricks among the lush grass, flower trees were in full bloom. The branches were covered with flowers, swaying in the wind. They were as bright as the brilliant morning glow.
Grace and the cameraman seemed to be possessed. They walked straight towards the lake in the sea of flowers. Their eyes were blank, as if they were lost in their own dreams and had no perception of the outside world.
The director's team outside was in a panic when they saw the two abnormal people on the display screen. If this continued, someone might lose their life.
The director's team immediately arranged a large number of people to rush in and pull the two of them back. Only then did the two of them wake up like from a dream and collapse on the ground.
They were awake but felt weak all over and couldn't even stand up. They quickly called for stretchers to carry the two of them out.
The remaining spiritual mediums outside all felt a sense of unease. When they saw the two being carried out, Henry felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, he hadn't been a hero and ignored Zhaocai's advice. He had left in time. Otherwise, he felt that he would also be carried out.
Henry was extremely happy. His momentary kindness when he first met Ning Yitao had saved his life several times. Sure enough, clinging to the thigh of the great god Ning was definitely the right thing to do.
Zhaocai could communicate directly with Ning Yitao through telepathy.
Zhaocai reminded Ning Yitao:
"Strange. The smell on those two is different from the one Henry encountered just now. There might be many things inside. Could it be that each area has its own evil things?"
Ning Yitao squinted her eyes. "All the answers will come out after we see them."
Then the ambulance came. The crowd was in an uproar. Even a few people directly went to the director and said they wanted to quit the competition.
The people in the director's team were also in a complete mess. Finally, they decided that in order to prevent such a situation from happening again, they would no longer let the spiritual mediums go in one by one.
The spiritual mediums who still wanted to continue participating in the competition in the future could form teams voluntarily and enter in groups. The scores would be calculated by groups.
The client, Alan, was a bit anxious. Just now, he had watched the whole process of all the spiritual mediums going in in the recording studio and was a bit panicked.
Because when he and his family lived in the house, such a serious situation had never occurred.
"Could it be that so many spiritual mediums have angered Mrs. Alexi?" Alan asked the director puzzledly, longing for an answer.
Although the director wasn't sure himself and almost had a fatal accident just now, he had a premonition that this episode of the program would definitely be a big hit.
The director was willing to take risks for his work. He comforted Alan on one hand and continued the live - broadcast on the other.
But unexpectedly, there was another problem. The remaining cameramen refused to work. They were scared.
Especially after seeing their colleague being in a coma and on the ambulance. And that colleague was accompanied by a quite powerful spiritual medium, but he still couldn't withstand the strangeness of this house.
Even when the director offered them a higher salary, they still didn't want to do it. They were afraid of losing their lives here.
The director gritted his teeth and picked up the camera himself and went in with them.
Ning Yitao originally didn't plan to form a team, but Ji Wangqiu didn't allow it. He pulled her and insisted on forming a team together.
Eve also came over and expressed her intention to cooperate with them.
Surprisingly, the exorcist Salawa and the fortune - teller Grinton also came.
Grinton stood beside Ning Yitao and calmly analyzed:
"I can feel the abnormality of this house, and I know you are very powerful. We will definitely be able to pass this level together."
Salawa was a bit embarrassed but still spoke up. "To repay you for saving my life last time, I can sense the location of the evil objects. It should be able to help you."
Eve said with a smile. "If we form a team, we will definitely be able to conquer this castle."
Henry quietly moved over and slowly raised his hand. "Can you take me? I also want to go to the attic and have a look."
These people all looked at Ning Yitao expectantly. With her around, they all wanted to gather together.
Ji Wangqiu looked at Ning Yitao with a faint smile on his face, making people feel as if they were in the spring breeze. He was a bit dazed and thought:
"Being pursued by people and surrounded by friends like this is the life she should have."
"Indeed, each of them is good at different things. Maybe it will be better if we go in together," Ning Yitao thought and agreed to form a team with them.
******
After they formed a group, they gathered around the remaining clothes of Buck and started discussing.
Ji Wangqiu still had a smile on his face. "Teammates, show us what you can sense."
Henry first talked about his initial feeling when he went in. The magnetic field was too chaotic, and he couldn't determine Buck's location at all inside.
Zhaocai echoed his words. "It's really hard to distinguish after going in. However, you will surely be okay, but still be careful."
"There isn't much blood on it, and it's most likely from his own fall. I can't sense any remaining evil things on it," Eve said as she touched the clothes.
The fortune - teller Grinton washed his fortune - telling cards and randomly drew one from them with the remaining corner of the clothes.
He thought for a moment. "He's not dead yet. He's still in this house, but his situation isn't very good."
The exorcist Salawa smelled the clothes, frowned, and then licked the blood on it. "He's in a very, very dark place with water."
"Bang!" The door of the castle suddenly opened, and a group of people rushed out. They were the spiritual mediums who used to be with Salawa.
They were in a mess. Their faces looked as if they had been bombed. They were extremely embarrassed.
