WBSGVS Chapter 86 V1

In the midst of the screams, the lights were turned back on.

Everyone sighed in relief, and Wei Pingnan quickly got up to help hold the doll. Just as he grabbed it, Fu Qingli immediately squatted down. The camera zoomed in, and the sweat beads on her forehead, caused by fear, were visible, her makeup couldn’t hide the pale color of her face.

There was silence in the live chat for a moment before it slowly started to fill with comments: [I don’t know why, but I suddenly really want to laugh!]

[Haha, I’m laughing out loud!]

[This is hilarious, I just realized Fu Qingli is quite fun!]

[I was laughing during my lunch break in the office, and everyone turned to look at me, now they’re all in the live stream. Help, this is too funny!]

[I thought she was the weakest, but I didn’t expect her to evolve like this! She did so well in the crucial moment?]

What just happened was truly an unexpected turn of events.

In the first episode, Fu Qingli is terrified of the dark and ghosts. She was so scared she couldn’t even move, drenched in cold sweat, nearly fainting from the fear.

This caused her to drag the group down, and in the end, the guests had to physically pull her away.

As a result, the viewers who felt their enjoyment of the livestream had been severely impacted by her, developed a strong dislike for her. Without her, even with only three guests, the stream would have gone smoothly, without needing to be extended by hours.

In the second episode, no one defended her.

Even the passersby had a good impression of her from her dramas.

This time, everyone assumed she would still be a useless “flower vase.”

But no one expected that she would play such a key role at a crucial moment!

That brave stretch of her hand, directly turning the lights on!

It was like saving the entire group of viewers who were also scared.

Had she pulled it off casually, it might not have been as amusing. But in front of the camera, you could see how terrified she was, her whole body trembling. While Wei Pingnan had squatted down and covered his face, too scared to look, she braved it and smartly reached out to pull the switch!

After the light turned on, the camera clearly showed a few people dressed in magnificent ancient European outfits, resembling princes and princesses.

But with the other three guests’ striking presence, Fu Qingli’s appearance still caught everyone’s attention. But what made them laugh wasn’t her looks, but the tightness of her closed eyes in fear, and her expressionless face, which looked especially serious.

It was as if, all of a sudden, Fu Qingli had come alive.

She had effortlessly hit the viewers’ funny bone, making everyone laugh uncontrollably, while also giving them a clear understanding of her fear of the dark and ghosts.

Thinking about it, they all felt that this girl was both funny and sympathetic.

She was so scared, yet she still dared to reach out and grab it!

Had they been too harsh before, pushing her to discover her hidden potential?

While the viewers discussed this, the atmosphere in front of the camera also eased. As long as the lights remained on, Wei Pingnan and the others weren’t scared. Although the walls were covered with drawings of skeletons and vampires, making even the bravest people hesitant to look a second time, for the guests who had mentally prepared themselves, it felt like child’s play!

“Qingli, you’re amazing! I was terrified when that thing flew toward us!” Meng Ke squatted down, patted her back, and comforted her.

Xiang Yifei nodded and added a few words of comfort, then praised, “Before we came in, you said you wouldn’t be like last time. Looks like you’ve been training privately. You’ve improved so much, what’s your secret?”

Qingli calmed down, pushing her fear aside. Her expression became much more relaxed, and she straightened up with a forced smile, saying, “It’s simple. I just challenged myself, kept telling myself that fear is useless and I had to face it. So when I wanted to crouch down, a voice told me to grab it! Pull it down, and then it won’t be able to scare me!”

She squeezed her still trembling right hand and smiled even brighter, “I did it!”

Unlike the original host, who had only participated in one episode, and then became too scared to continue, Qingli faced her fear head-on, believing that the only way forward was to conquer it.

So, she chose to reach out, and by a twist of fate, she turned on the lights.

Judging by Meng Ke and the others’ reactions, Qingli had performed well this time.

Live chat: [Haha!]

[This move was brilliant, grab it, that was genius!]

[The director probably didn’t expect them to find the light switch so quickly! This is hilarious…]

[This light switch probably hasn’t been used in 20 years, with a wire stretched across and a doll hanging from it. The director’s so ruthless!]

Meng Ke laughed too, massaging her wrist and saying, “You were awesome! I can’t believe you actually gritted your teeth and pushed through. You must have gone back after the last recording to train your courage, right?”

Qingli nodded, “I had no choice, I would have been so embarrassed if I had dragged everyone down again!”

Wei Pingnan, holding the ghost doll, nodded at her, “You were amazing! If it wasn’t for you, we’d probably still be trying to find the light switch, wasting hours on this ghost doll!”

Xiang Yifei gave her a thumbs up, “Great job!”

Qingli blushed shyly, “I’ll keep trying my best!”

The viewers, seeing this, were surprised but also impressed: [So Fu Qingli has been secretly working on herself!]

[Now I feel a bit bad, I’m going to delete all the harsh comments I wrote before.]

[Actually, she’s pretty fun this way. It’s not a competition show, as long as she doesn’t drag the group down, she’s great at creating atmosphere.]

[Yeah, that moment was hilarious, I’ve already seen it clipped on Weibo, and it’s trending now.]

[Let’s see how she does going forward, if she can keep this up, that would be amazing.]

As the chat continued, the mood improved, and it was much better than before.

As long as she made them laugh and didn’t slow them down, most viewers were forgiving, especially since Fu Qingli looked stunning in this episode. With the lights on, she looked quite eye-catching.

The second round was a hallway. Since the lights were now on, the previous clue about vampire legends on the wall had faded. To move forward, they needed a vampire’s birthday code.

The four of them searched for a long time but couldn’t find a key clue. Just when they were getting frustrated, Xiang Yifei banged his head against the wall with a loud “Bang!”

In the well-lit environment, although still slightly scared, Qingli managed to suppress her instincts. Suddenly, she spoke up: “Wait.”

The three of them turned to look. Wei Pingnan, still holding the ghost doll, brightened up: “What did you see, little sister?”

Qingli pointed to the spot where Xiang Yifei had banged his head. “It sounds hollow here. The sound isn’t right.”

Xiang Yifei looked at it and, without hesitation, banged his head against the wall again: “Bang!” Afterward, he held his forehead, wincing in pain from the force, “Doesn’t seem like there’s any difference.”

Qingli shook her head. “There is, the sound is wrong. This should be hollow.” She stepped forward, tapped the wall, and pressed her ear against it, listening closely.

Due to her performance in the last episode, which had been hopeless, the viewers didn’t expect her to be able to do anything this time either. But when they saw the popular singer Xiang Yifei hurt his head, they were extremely dissatisfied:

[Does she really have to pretend to understand so much? She’s only been gone for seven days, has she undergone such a transformation?]

[My brother is so adorably silly, I feel so sorry for him. Some people really shouldn’t say things they don’t understand. Isn’t that sound just a normal wall sound?]

[Seriously, her performance before was pretty good, but the situation was different. Does Fu Qingli even have intelligence?]

[Well… I think she looks pretty serious, doesn’t seem like she’s messing around.]

Finally, a passerby spoke up in defense.

Zheng Yue, who had been watching the live stream, glanced at the barrage of comments flashing on the screen. A sense of relief crossed her face as she looked at the rising search rankings—Fu Qingli catching the ghost. Anticipation filled her eyes.

As long as she can maintain this level, she’ll be able to change everyone’s opinion of her this time!

On the screen, after Fu Qingli tapped the wall, she turned to her companions and said, “Can we open this? I feel like there’s something here.”

Xiang Yifei hesitated, saying, “But we can’t destroy things violently.”

That was a requirement from the production team. Otherwise, if they broke the walls, it would take away a lot of the intrigue of the show.
