Chapter 203 Role Play
Ebony was confused!
The freckle-faced girl grabbed her arm and dragged her to go forward.
The girl prattled a bunch of information. "You confessed to Mike yesterday, right? What did he say? He would break up with his girlfriend, right? You're so pretty, and I am sure you can steal him away!"
Ebony listened and understood the situation.
The first reincarnation...
So, this was what it meant.
Role play?
The program team put the six guests in a large scene and asked them to play different roles.
In the scene, everyone else was an NPC.
NPC, or non-player characters, referred to those who could not be controlled by the players.
So, instead of fighting it, she let the freckle-faced girl take her to the basketball court.
A group of teenage girls were playing or cheering on the court.
Ebony watched them!
Suddenly, a girl with a ponytail came over. Without a word, she threw a bottle of water at Ebony.
Ebony froze and reflexively twisted the girl's wrist!
At once, the water was poured all over the girl.
The girl with a ponytail was stupefied.
The girl with freckles on her face was stunned.
And so were the other NPCs.
In the backstage monitoring room, the chief director almost spat the water on the screen.
He put the cup down, wheeled himself to the speaker, and snarled, "What is going on? Didn't anyone tell her to follow the plot? Someone, go and remind her! It's live streaming!"
Ebony regretted attacking the girl.
The girl was an NPC who didn't really mean to attack her. It should be the plot.
So, Ebony started to play her role.
She complained to the girl with a ponytail, "Why did you throw water at me? Look, my clothes are wet!"
The girl froze, looking at her drenched body and then at Ebony, who was dry and clean.
In the end, she gritted her teeth, pretended that Ebony was the drenched one, and dutifully shouted abuse, "The mistresses shall die!"
The freckle-faced girl retorted defiantly, "Who are you calling a mistress!"
The girl with a ponytail replied, "Her. I saw it when she confessed her love to Mike!"
Obliviously, Mike was the captain of the basketball team and this girl's boyfriend.
'Is this a fight between rivals in love?'
Ebony stroked her chin and pondered.
All of a sudden, the freckle-faced girl fought the girl with a ponytail.
Then it became a real fight as they pulled each other's hair and poked each other's eyes.
The other students rushed over to separate them. In the end, the two girls were sent to the infirmary.
As a friend of the freckle-faced girl, Ebony followed, but the basketball captain named Mike walked away indifferently.
The infirmary was in chaos.
Then a bang rang out.
Someone knocked on the door with a stethoscope and shouted, "Quiet!"
Following the familiar voice, Ebony turned around and looked over.
It was the doctor played by Justin.
It looked like he had adapted to his role.
In a white gown, he walked over on steady steps with a cold face.
The school doctor was an "adult", and the "students" in the room quieted down.
When Justin walked past Ebony, he winked at her.
Ebony took the hint and nodded imperceptibly.
The school doctor dressed the wounds of the two girls before letting them go.
The other students also left in twos and threes.
In the end, only Ebony and Justin were left in the infirmary.
Justin heaved a sigh of relief, removed his mask, looked at Ebony, and laughed. "I removed the blindfold but received no info. Then someone called me Dr. Graham. This show is pretty interesting. Without a script, I am all at sea."
Ebony nodded and said casually, "So am I."
Justin then laid his eyes on the rocker camera and arched his brow. "I heard it's live streaming."
The streaming platform of the Ghost powered by Black Grape was filled with viewers.
They had watched the trailer and swarmed into the channel just ten minutes after the show started.
"Ahhh, Justin is looking at me!"
"Dr. Graham, I am sick. I can't sleep unless you coax me!"
"Justin is so hot and killing me!"
"What the heck? Ebony again? She's really a model worker in the entertainment industry!"
"This is not a show about ghosts? But ghosts are the theme of the trailer. Why are they in school?"
"Aren't schools the most common setting of horror stories?"
"Yeah, I heard that our school used to be a cemetery."
"What a coincidence! Our school was too."
"Yikes, is there any school in this world that isn't renovated from a cemetery? The cemeteries are an indispensable element of schools."
Following a glance at the camera, Justin turned back to Ebony.
With both hands in her pockets, Ebony leaned against the door and said blandly, "Since the profiles of the characters are unavailable, I believe they want us to improvise. In fact, after we fit into our roles, the information will be given. Take me for example. That freckle-faced girl is my friend, and I am the other woman. I like the captain of the basketball team, and the girl with a ponytail is my rival."
This was all the information Ebony had grasped in the past ten minutes.
Justin looked up at Ebony, chuckled, and said, "Miss Gibson, your adaptive capacity is impressive. It looks like I'll need your help."
Ebony hummed and said, "Sure, but there will be a price."
Justin was astounded.
Ebony checked the time and added, "Let's go."
Justin froze and asked in confusion, "To where?"
Ebony looked at him and replied, "Looking for the others. Don't tell me that you want to stay here as the school doctor."
Justin was lost for words.
Ebony turned around and left the infirmary.
Justin looked at her and laughed.
He got up and followed her out.
Two hours later, the six guests were assembled.
Ebony looked coldly at Lorena, who was standing next to Justin innocently, and narrowed her eyes.
To her surprise, this woman was the sixth guest.
Justin noticed Ebony's gaze. Aware of Lorena's participation was a work of capital, he asked with a smile, "You two bear the same surname. Do you know each other?"
Ebony blurted out, "No."
Justin froze and said, "Oh."
Ebony sulked, "Of course not. There are so many dogs on the street. How could I possibly know each one?"
Justin was stunned.
He hadn't expected Ebony to hate Lorena so much.
Ebony checked the time, turned around, and headed in the other direction.
Sarina hurriedly called out, "Where are you going?"
Ebony frowned and replied, "It's noon and time to do the right thing. I'm going to the cafeteria to have lunch!"
Sarina was speechless.
And so were the others.
As Ebony walked away, they had no choice but to follow her to the cafeteria.
From the rear of the group, Lorena glared at Ebony, gritted her teeth, and cursed under her breath, "You like to eat so much. Sooner or later, you'll be as fat as a pig!"
Ebony, who walked in the front, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The others looked at her in confusion.
Rita asked, "What's wrong?"
Ebony turned back and looked past their shoulders till her eyes fell on the last person on the team.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm fat? Okay, you're thin. You're the thinnest. Your ashes and the urn weigh less than five pounds."
