"Damn, after the show finishes filming, should we get psychological counseling for the NPCs?!"

As soon as this person spoke, the room fell silent again.

Then, someone turned the camera towards the bathroom scene and saw the crowded "zombies" howling non-stop; some timid female zombies cried so much that their makeup was ruined, with smoky eyes and bloodstains washed off into an unrecognizable mess.

Originally, they were the ones the guests avoided at all costs, but now it’s completely reversed; they were bullied by the guests until they couldn’t take it anymore.

Probably their mindset completely collapsed.

"..."

The atmosphere was quite awkward.

"Cough, should we pause and have Nora Scott take note of this?" someone tactfully suggested.

"Yeah, just look at how much they’re crying!"

"Scared to this extent, they better get a pay raise."

"Actually, it can’t be separated from environmental factors that they got scared like this. This rundown, abandoned bathroom would freak anyone out."

"...Actually, it was the same when Clement Winter was scared by the zombies."

"What does Clement Winter have to do with this?"

"Clement Winter is a fan of Nora Scott, and she really spoils him. It’s said she even based a popular comic character on him."

"..."

As they chatted, suddenly no one spoke up.

If Nora Scott really protects her favorite that much, and if she finds out Clement Winter was seriously scared, she might go overboard with the NPCs...

That would be a real mess.

"Let’s just leave it," the director said. "She should know the limits. We’ll adapt on the fly. In a few minutes, let the NPCs unlock the bathroom and let them out. Meanwhile, get in touch with the NPCs and console them so they don’t give up during the next scene."

Everyone had no choice but to agree.

However, the "console the NPCs" phase did take quite some effort; quite a few young girls, scared stiff, said they didn’t even want their pay and just wanted to quit, and it took a lot of convincing and promises not to make them act alone for them to tentatively agree.

After dealing with the troublesome NPCs, Nora Scott leisurely wandered down the classroom hallway.

Filming on location does have a sense of immersion; ignoring the NPCs, the flashing lightning, strong winds, flickering dim lights, and the dilapidated walls on both sides of the corridor...

Late at night, just being here feels creepy.

However, Nora Scott had trained her courage since childhood, and as long as it’s not those cyclical stimulus scenes causing the game "Black Town" to affect her, the setup here wasn’t something to fear for her.

She’s been to scarier places.

Walking leisurely around, the NPCs hidden in each classroom cowered in the corners, shivering as if hearing the voice of doom, constantly praying for Nora’s footsteps to quickly pass by.

Yet, Nora refused to comply.

Actually, it’s easy to find the classroom where the guests were—iron door, lights on, that’s it.

On the fifth floor, there were two classrooms with iron doors and lights on.

One was Nora’s, the NPC tied up outside the iron door was still there, but he had stopped struggling and resignedly stuck his head in the iron door, directly in a state of withdrawal.

One was next to Nora’s classroom, with no sounds coming from it, and the wooden front door was shut, as the zombies had already been attracted by Nora and were locked in the bathroom together.

Nora didn’t go forward because she guessed that classroom contained Rosa Sullivan.

The reason was simple:

Any guest hearing movement in the corridor would open the door and look out—naturally seeing Nora.

She believed that classroom door must have been opened before, and they saw her.

But, only someone as aloof and proud as Rosa Sullivan would forgo asking for her help and choose to unlock the mechanical lock on their own.

Nora wasn’t looking for trouble.

If the other party didn’t ask for help, she wouldn’t bother.

So, she took a flashlight she found somewhere, opened one classroom after another, and randomly swept the flashlight around, taking the opportunity to enjoy finding the hiding NPCs and some special setups in the classrooms.

These empty classrooms, besides some mechanical traps, didn’t contain any important information.

—They were purely for scaring the guests.

Nora successfully bypassed all the traps and, like a high-ranking officer, completed a tour of all the classrooms on this floor.

There was an iron door to the fourth floor that was blocked, but there was no door on the stairs to the fifth floor. After finishing her tour, Nora planned to go upstairs for a look.

At this moment—

There was the sound of a door opening in the corridor.

It was precisely another iron door that had yet to be opened.

Nora halted her steps, took a step back, then raised her eyes, and glanced towards that door.

The classroom wasn’t far, just four or five meters away.

Rosa Sullivan, dressed in a school uniform, walked out.

As if knowing where Nora was, Rosa turned sideways once out the door, her gaze directly meeting Nora’s, her expression rather cold.

Nora raised an eyebrow lightly and said, "A little late, aren’t you?"

Implied provocation.

Rosa: "..."

A feeling that words couldn’t describe.

She didn’t know how Nora had opened the backdoor, but one thing she could confirm—Nora definitely hadn’t opened the iron door.

Their classrooms were next to each other, and although the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder were loud, she could clearly hear if a door next door was opened and which door it was.

In other words, Nora hadn’t unlocked anything.

To open the door using cheating methods, and then Nora still had the gall to say she’s "a little late"?

It was exactly as some netizens described her—

Overbearing.

"Isn’t there anyone else on this floor?"

Ignoring Nora’s provocation, Rosa’s tone was quite cold.

"Mm."

Nora chuckled lightly without arguing as she lazily swung the flashlight upstairs.

Rosa probably didn’t understand her intention—

The iron door Rosa had wasn’t a mechanical lock but a particularly designed mechanical lock by Nora herself.

When passing by, Nora recognized it at a glance.

Rosa could choose to gather information and then unlock it, or she could directly use knowledge to solve the mechanical lock.

The reason Nora thought it was "slow" was based on Rosa’s performance in the first and second episodes.

Nonetheless, there was no need to mention it.

Rosa repressed the coldness in her eyes and followed silently behind Nora.

At this moment, the director’s team urgently used the walkie-talkie to notify the NPCs on the sixth floor to quickly return to the classrooms to avoid causing any trouble upon facing Nora.
