The door slowly opened a crack, and then a cold voice said, "Hands behind your head, come in!"
Little Gao frowned; he now had an urge to just break down the door and barge in.
But the next moment, that cold voice rang out again. "There are five hostages standing on the balcony now, watched by two of my men. You can try and see which one you can save!"
Even though he knew it was a TV show, Little Gao couldn't help but feel nervous, especially with Ling Yi's cold voice, as if the other party was really going to do it.
He tensed all his muscles and slipped through the crack in the door.
But before he could even react, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and was instantly plunged into darkness.
Ling Yi pulled two pistols from behind his collar, nodded in satisfaction, and then fired a shot directly at the ground.
He took a piece of paper out of his pocket, stuck it on Little Gao's forehead, then opened the door and kicked Little Gao out.
" Little Gao!" Liu Liwei rushed over to check on him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he had just fainted.
Upon seeing the note with the word "death" pasted on Little Gao's forehead, a sense of humiliation welled up in his heart.
"Asshole!"
He arrived at the door and shouted, " Ling Ke, one for one, you said it, don't go back on your word."
Ling Yi didn't speak, but instead looked at the group of beautiful women.
"Who's going out?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison. If leaving meant filming was over, then there wouldn't be any more scenes.
They only get to appear on screen for a couple of hours? That's such a waste.
"Let's draw lots, one of us has to go." Ling Yi sighed. What kind of mess is this? Did he just shoot himself in Shitou foot?
Just then, Dalinzi seemed to notice Ling Yi's predicament and immediately raised his hand, saying, "How about I go out first? I have a variety show to record, and if I'm late, it'll be a breach of contract!"
That's obviously a lie, but saying it that way is a way to give everyone a way out; that's emotional intelligence.
"Brother Ling, Shuimen City sometime, I'll treat you to a meal, the kind you cook!"
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded with a smile, but he knew in his heart that there was almost no chance of meeting again. Ever since the last time Role-Playing Space, Ling Yi had known that the time of the plot scene was generally not too long.
Or, to put it another way, the Role-Playing Space will automatically select a point in time based on the plot and end abruptly.
And this current scene probably won't last long.
Because the current plot is quite different from what he initially expected.
Zhao Xiaodao gave too much screen time, failing to highlight the kidnapping aspect, and the official forces that should have been included were not, resulting in the plot's lack of thematic depth.
These are all experiences for Ling Yi. When he does things in the future, he will have a general template and will not be as rushed and poor as he is now.
After Dalinzi left, the Capture and Ling Yi entered another standoff.
Faced with the Capture's inability to find a solution, Ling Yi began to lose interest.
The Capture isn't doing a good job; how can this be done?
It's like a max-level Big Shot beating up a kid; even though Ling Yi didn't use much power, the plot just feels a bit off.
It wouldn't be as satisfying as the scene in Ip Man 2 where they just go on a rampage and kill everyone.
Ling Yi was annoyed, and the viewers off-camera were also losing interest. They felt similarly to Ling Yi: Big Shot comes to the newbie village, no matter how much he pretends to be a newbie, he's still bullying others.
But what could Ling Yi do? Both scenes were ordinary ones; even if he wanted to act like a god, there was nothing he could do.
Ling Yi stood on the balcony, tapped the "button" on his shoulder, and said, " Director Yan, come out and talk."
"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to cause more trouble. Do you think those Capture officers outside can stop me? I have a gun now, believe me or not, I'll wipe them all out."
"What exactly do you want? You've ruined the whole show, what more do you want?" Yan Ming's voice came from "Button".
"Who the hell lacks sportsmanship? If you followed the rules, would I be angry? If I wasn't angry, why would I cause so much trouble? You're useless, but you can't let me be excellent? If you can't handle the game, then don't play."
"Bullshit! Am I the one who can't take a joke, or are you? If you're so great, why are you causing trouble on my show? This is just a variety show, why are you taking it so seriously? How are other people supposed to enjoy themselves?"
Ling Yi laughed in exasperation. What kind of excuse was this? Did she mean she was blaming him?
"I'm just asking you, have I broken any rules?"
"You didn't break any rules, but the theme of the show is kidnapping celebrities, one group kidnaps one person. You went and kidnapped a whole bunch. Kidnapping a bunch is one thing, but what kind of hostages did you do?"
"This is a variety show, you know? What right do you have to hurt someone? Your behavior has gone too far, do you know that? Do you really think this is a police drama?" Yan Ming said angrily.
"What the hell..." Ling Yi was completely Yan Ming by Yan Ming.
His original intention was to Simulation real kidnapping, so it turns out he misunderstood? What's the point of playing around with that?
Ling Yi finally understood Yan Ming's meaning. He intended to film this program as a traditional variety show, but Ling Yi's behavior was outside the established routine and completely conflicted with his philosophy.
Ling Yi, holding his pistol, turned and headed towards the door.
"What are you trying to do now?" Yan Ming asked angrily.
"I'm not going to be a robber anymore, I'm going to be a thug."
"You bastard, believe me or not, I'll shut down your livestream right now!"
"Try locking one up yourself," Ling Yi Taunt.
Zhao Xiaodao and the others exchanged bewildered glances as they listened to Ling Yi arguing with the director. Why was Ling Yi at odds with the director?
" Xiaohong, take over all authority and cut off all of Yan Ming's signal sources."
"Received!" came Xiaohong's synthesized voice from the "button" on Ling Yi's shoulder.
"Notify the leaders of Tuchuan City that I'm going to conduct a large-scale live-fire exercise. Also, send them this photo of your identification."
Ling Yi flipped his hand and took out a dark red document with the words " Heavenly Guard Bureau " written on it.
Diamond-Rank Identity Card (Bound, Cannot Destruction, Cannot be Traded): Allows you to customize your identity in story scenarios. This identity is only valid for the current story scenario and can only be customized once per story scenario.
This is the third time Ling Yi has used this prop card.
The identity established through this card is genuine and valid.
Ling Yi has chosen the identity of the Director of the Heavenly Guard Bureau, a special official agency with immense power, even capable of mobilizing local troops.
"Tell them the scope of the exercise: the entire Tuchuan City; the purpose of the exercise: to test the responsiveness and security vulnerabilities of the Tuchuan City police force; the test participant: Ling Ke; the method: playing the role of a robber; the current situation: the robber is armed with two handguns, his accomplices are unknown, and he may be holding hostages!"
"Give them ten hours to prepare. The exercise will officially begin at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Also, notify the other robbery teams and the Capture that the program has ended and give each of them one million as compensation."
After giving these instructions, Ling Yi looked at Zhao Xiaodao and the others, "Now you have two choices: withdraw, or participate in the exercise!"
Jiang Yan asked cautiously, "Is it being streamed live across the entire internet?"
Ling Yi nodded and said, "Live stream across the entire internet."
"Are you sure the authorities will cooperate with you?" Jiang Yan asked again. Jiang Yan really wanted to ask about Ling Yi's identity, but she didn't dare to ask directly, so she changed her question.
"Sure!"
"So, if we participate in the exercise, what role will we play? Will we still be hostages?" Zhao Xiaodao asked.
"You can choose: robbers or hostages!"
"If I choose to withdraw, can I leave now?" another female celebrity asked.
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded.
I choose to withdraw!
"I also choose to withdraw!"
"..."
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the female celebrities had withdrawn, and Ling Yi did not stop them, letting them leave.
In the end, only Zhao Xiaodao, Jiang Yan, Song Zhuer, Ouyang Lala, and Lin Xiaofei remained.
"I choose to join!" Jiang Yan was the first to make her choice.
"I'm joining too!" The others all chose to join, including Lin Xiaofei.
Ling Yi understood their thoughts very well; there was a reason why these people were able to become top stars.
Compared to others, they are better at seizing opportunities.
" Xiaohong, temporarily close the live stream. It will reopen in ten hours."
"Receive!"
Ling Yi took off the "button" from his shoulder and gestured for the others to do the same.
These "button" style cameras don't provide a good viewing experience for viewers in the live stream, so Ling Yi had the intelligent program at the laboratory base on Green Star inside the Star Ring manufacture a batch of miniature optical Invisibility cameras.
At the same time, a batch of memory transfer devices were also produced, which is a technology used in the Resident Evil scenario.
This transmission device allows a portion of data to be imported into the brain in a short period of time, enabling rapid mastery of a subject.
Since Zhao Xiaodao and her group have chosen to join, they definitely can't be too weak. They need to at least keep up with our pace. They don't need to be too strong; they just need to master basic Fighting skills, counter-surveillance abilities, and Firearms knowledge.
The live stream started promptly at 9:00 AM the next day.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. When Ling Yi opened the door, he found it was Sha Die and Dalinzi, who had returned.
"We want to join too!" Sha Die waved his phone and said bluntly!
"Yes, we want to join!" Dalinzi laughed.
"Didn't you say you were going to participate in a variety show?" Zhao Xiaodao asked.
"Hey, that's just a joke. Besides, what program can compare to the popularity of this exercise's live broadcast?"
"A smart choice, come in!" Ling Yi said with a smile.
The live broadcast started promptly at 9:00 AM the next day!
But at this moment, Ling Yi and the others were no longer in the Yunheng Hotel, but in an ordinary residential house.
Compared to ten hours ago, Zhao Xiaodao and the others have undergone Tilling Changes in their demeanor.
" Lin Xiaofei, let's begin!"
Ling Yi stood in front of a camera and nodded to Lin Xiaofei behind it.
At this moment, Ling Yi was wearing a white mask with a large "X" mark on it, and a black shirt and black casual pants.
The others were dressed in roughly the same way.
After receiving a signal from Ling Yi, Lin Xiaofei pressed Enter on the Computer next to her and then nodded to Ling Yi.
At the same time, the same image appeared on all the LCD advertising screens on the main street in Tuchuan City.
In the scene, a man in black wearing an X-mask leaned forward, and then a cold voice echoed throughout the entire Tuchuan City.
"Hello citizens of Tuchuan City, my name is X. This is a Celebrity Kidnapping Notice. We will be kidnapping the famous singer Wang Shen at 3 PM today."
"Oh ho ho ha, of course I know what you're thinking right now. No, this isn't a prank, it's a crime announcement. The game is about to begin. Are you ready?"
The video abruptly ended there.
The title of the live broadcast of the program " Everyone Kidnaps Celebrities " has changed to " Celebrity Kidnapping Notice " because, due to Xiaohong's interference, people in Tuchuan City cannot watch the live broadcast.
Not only that, but any information related to the live stream content will be blocked within Tuchuan City.
There will only be one live stream this time, because one live stream is enough.
Ling Yi removed his mask, his expression almost twisted as he smiled, now he had once again entered his Madness mode.
His entire brain entered a state of heightened excitement. In this state, his thinking was exceptionally active, but he also acted with extreme bias and stubbornness.
Zhao Xiaodao and the others were not used to Ling Yi's Changes. They felt that Ling Yi at this moment was like a devil who was about to devour people at any time.
Sha Die muttered, "Is he getting into character?"
Dalinzi rolled his eyes and said, "Are you sure this is getting into character, and not me acting?"
