89: A bizarre death pose: photographer commits suicide.

Seeing that none of the celebrities intended to take action, the professors from the Archaeology Academy pinned their hopes on the Cameraman.

"Mr. Cameraman, could you do us a favor? Could you take a close-up shot of this terracotta figurine?"

The Archaeology Academy professor requested again, and with the plea directed at him, the Cameraman found it difficult to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and walk over.

"You had better think this through."

Seeing the Cameraman step forward, Yang Mi could not help but remind him.

The Cameraman's footsteps faltered, and he offered a somewhat stiff smile.

"It's just a terracotta figurine, just a clay doll. Nothing should happen. Besides, doing this is just a small favor, it's not a big deal."

As the Cameraman spoke, he continued walking inside.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi stopped speaking, though, in reality, she was still very nervous.

She trusted Ye Bai, but she did not want his words to come true. If there really was danger, then the Cameraman's life...

It wasn't just Yang Mi who was nervous; the other celebrities were also watching the Cameraman tensely.

The Cameraman walked up to the small terracotta figurine and was about to reach out to pick it up, but because he was holding his equipment, he accidentally knocked into a terracotta figurine nearby.

The Cameraman's heart skipped a beat. This was a cultural relic; if he broke it, he wouldn't be able to pay for it even if he sold himself.

So, he hurriedly picked up the terracotta figurine to examine it carefully.

Suddenly, one of the terracotta figurines turned its head, its face wearing a bizarre smile.

Upon seeing the smile on the bizarre terracotta figurine, the Cameraman's own face unconsciously mirrored the same smile.

The terracotta figurine with the bizarre smile suddenly kept twisting its neck, and then, a 'crack' sound was heard.

The terracotta figurine's neck was snapped off forcefully.

The Cameraman was crouching on the ground without moving, nor was he pointing his camera at the terracotta figurine, leaving the audience in the Live Stream Room feeling curious.

"What's going on? Why has the Cameraman stopped moving?"

"Yeah! What is happening? I think I just heard the sound of something breaking."

"No way! Could something have actually happened?"

"But he isn't moving at all?"

Just as the audience was still speculating, the Cameraman suddenly moved.

He could be seen with a bizarre smile on his face, and his neck suddenly began to twist around; the sound of grinding bones echoed clearly throughout the chamber.

Yang Mi, Reba, and the others' pupils constricted sharply, and their complexions gradually turned pale at this moment.

Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, and Huang Zitao could not help but huddle closer to Ye Bai; this was simply too terrifying.

The Cameraman kept twisting his neck, with a tendency of not stopping until it was snapped.

The Cameraman's face had successfully rotated to his back—

Finally—

Crack!

His neck snapped in response, and the Cameraman fell directly to the ground, his face and back hitting the ground simultaneously. Even in death, the Cameraman's face wore a bizarre smile.

The atmosphere in the chamber instantly became heavy.

Everyone looked at the Cameraman's corpse in horror; they still hadn't processed what had happened. A perfectly fine person had suddenly died just like that.

In the Live Stream Room—

"???"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! What the hell is going on? How did he just suddenly die? And he killed himself by twisting his own neck?"

"Mommy! Someone died! That death was so bizarre!!"

"Damn! What kind of program is this? I just watched a scene of a bizarre suicide. Is this something I'm supposed to be watching? This isn't a movie; this is a real death."

"Holy crap! Ye Bai was right all along. Is there really something wrong with these terracotta figurines?"

"Thank goodness my Reba listened and didn't go over, otherwise the one who died would have been Reba."

"Aren't these just terracotta figurines? How can they kill people?"

"Look! There is another terracotta figurine on the ground that died in the same way as the Cameraman. Holy crap! Did this terracotta figurine kill him?"

When the audience saw this scene, they all collectively shivered, and the bullet comments became even more intense than before.

A death occurring in an adventure program would cause a huge impact.

At this moment, the professors from the Archaeology Academy were also dumbfounded.

They never expected that just wanting to take a look at the terracotta figurine would cost a life...

At this moment!

Those professors were not just shocked, but also filled with guilt. If they hadn't spoken up, the Cameraman wouldn't have died, right?

"How could this be? How could this happen? Isn't that just a terracotta figurine? How could such a situation occur?"

"Ye Bai was right. It was us who were too arrogant, thinking it was just an ordinary terracotta figurine. I never expected it would cost the Cameraman his life!"

"We are done for!!"

The archaeology professors still couldn't understand why an inconspicuous little terracotta figurine could actually have the ability to kill.

With the Cameraman dead, the Archaeology Academy could not escape responsibility.

The upper management of the program production team was in chaos as well.

The death of a staff member was a very serious matter.

They had to deal with all the subsequent issues.

But what worried the director the most was the issue with these terracotta figurines. These figurines could kill, and now that one person had already died, would the celebrities also...

He dared not think about it!

"Go, handle the aftermath immediately. Provide whatever compensation is necessary, do whatever needs to be done, and make sure to comfort the family."

The director was very worried about the celebrities, but for now, he had to handle his own affairs. A death had occurred in the program team; this matter could be major or minor.

He also needed to soothe the emotions of the deceased's family.

The assistant behind the director hurriedly went to make arrangements.

The other executives were so shocked that they remained stunned for a long time. Who could have imagined that these terracotta figurines would actually kill people...

...

Inside the Tomb.

"Ah..."

Bai Lu was the first to regain her senses. She couldn't help but scream, hurriedly grabbing onto Ye Bai's clothes and standing behind him.

She had seen corpses before, but this was the first time she had witnessed a suicide right in front of her. Her mental defenses completely collapsed.

Yang Chaoyue, Meng Ziyi, and Reba were also badly frightened. All three stood in place, their legs trembling, and their eyes filled with tears.

Especially Reba; she really wanted to hide behind Ye Bai as well, but her limbs were already frozen with fear, and she could only stand there shivering.

Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, and the others were no better off. Although they didn't scream, their pale complexions, the redness in their eyes, and their heavy, labored breathing showed they were also badly frightened.

They were also badly frightened.

Yang Mi and Wu Jing were also shocked by this situation.

Following Bai Lu's scream, everyone on the scene was brought back to their senses.

Yang Mi also wanted to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

She couldn't help but move closer to Ye Bai.

Perhaps it was Bai Lu's scream that had awakened all the terracotta figurines.

Those terracotta figurines were now turning their necks, all staring in unison at the people before them.

The perfectly aligned terracotta figurines simultaneously revealed bizarre smiles...
