Trembling At A High Altitude

Guo's mother decided to get off the bus with Li Teng, and once they were off the bus, there would no longer be any restrictions from the ghost. What could happen next was something anyone could figure out with their heels.

"Stop dreaming, I won't tell you," Gao Fei shook his head resolutely.

"Oh? Think it over. If you don't tell me, you have a fifty percent chance of being killed. Know that I have no grudges against you, but if I can't find him later, I'll have to kill you to go along with the plot," Guo's mother threatened Gao Fei.

"Whatever." Gao Fei's face showed a resolute expression of sticking up for his friends.

Last time, in a critical moment, Li Teng had pushed him out of the way and saved his life. If he did not help now, he would feel guilty.

"Kid, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything. She just needs to choose to get off at the first stop. If you get off at the first stop and he takes the third, she could just run to the third stop and wait for him. Ghosts move fast and can still kill him, just takes a little longer.

But, by doing so, you will have offended us, and it might be tough for you in the crew later on," Pretty Boy said, threatening Gao Fei a few times.

"So what if I offend you? It's just turning into a wax figure, not scary at all," Gao Fei showed no signs of wanting to give in.

He knew he might die because of this, but it was also possible that Guo's mother might not want to kill anyone else but Li Teng. Li Teng could use this opportunity to have a glimmer of hope of escaping—if Guo's mother couldn't find Li Teng within an hour, she would be the one turned into a wax figure!

This was Li Teng's only chance at a counterattack!

"I'm the lighting technician in the crew, I'm getting off at the first stop," Li Teng, contrary to what everyone there expected, declared as he snapped his two sticks on the table with a 'snap'.

Indeed, his two sticks had 'You play the lighting technician' and 'Get off at the first stop' written on them.

"No way! Are you stupid? Why tell her? Just let her take the fifty percent chance!" Gao Fei hastily tried to cover Li Teng's sticks, but everyone else had already seen the words.

"Each person should be responsible for what they do. I'll handle the trouble I caused. Guilt has a source, debts have a owner, the one who should die is me. Involving friends isn't my style," Li Teng's expression was calm, as if he had a plan.

"Hahahahahaha... smart of you, as hiding it would have been pointless anyhow!" Guo's mother didn't expect Li Teng to confess voluntarily and burst out laughing loudly.

"Two drama queens! Putting on a display of righteousness, who do you think you're impressing?" Glasses Man muttered quietly.

"You're not gonna die well!" Gao Fei, hearing Glasses Man's muttering, cursed at him.

"I don't know about me, but in this scene, someone's definitely going to die, haha," Glasses Man continued smugly.

Sunglasses Woman, the female business executive, and the girl looked at Li Teng with sympathy.

They had to admit that Li Teng was incredibly unlucky.

His first scene entering Film and Television City involved someone from the real world he had enmity with, Guo Zhipeng.

He survived by relying on a High Stool.

Another highly improbable event occurred in the second scene.

Guo Zhipeng's mother came looking for him!

If they said it wasn't someone deliberately arranging this, targeting Li Teng, it would be unbelievable.

Seeking revenge is one thing, but Guo's mother also drew the only ghost able to control life and death.

Then she publicly forced Li Teng to confess at which stop he would get off.

A definite kill without question!

This time, Li Teng had no chance of turning the tables.

"Time's up, what's your choice?" the female director asked Guo's mother, glancing at the time.

"Of course, the first stop," Guo's mother answered the director.

"Are you sure? If you choose to get off at the first stop with me, you're bound to die!" Li Teng countered by threatening Guo's mother.

"Hahahahahaha…" Guo's mother laughed loudly.

"Are you sure?" the director asked Guo's mother again.

"You only have one chance! Think carefully before you answer! Don't regret it if you're wrong!" Li Teng quickly interjected.

"Tiny tricks aiming to disturb my mind? I choose the first stop!" Guo's mother answered the director resolutely.

"Okay, next," the female director signaled to Sunglasses Woman.

"The third stop," Sunglasses Woman chose after a moment of silence.

Now their choices had no meaning whatsoever.

Once again, Li Teng 'stepped up' and took the spot of the one who would receive the meal.

Last time, Li Teng successfully countered Guo Zhipeng by using a High Stool.

This time, it seemed he had no chance of retaliation.

He could only wait for death.

"If you choose the first stop, there's a loophole," Pretty Boy suddenly remembered something.

"What loophole? Are you worried they might have switched sticks under the table?" Guo's mother's expression changed drastically, realizing this possibility suddenly.

"Very likely. They might have switched their sticks under the table, tricking you to get off at the first stop, and then he could leave at the third stop. If you don't run as fast as the bus, once he gets off, he can just run for his life. Just surviving an hour, and he's safe! These two sneaky thieves!" Pretty Boy expressed regret.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Guo's mother also furrowed her brow.

"I just thought of it now!" Pretty Boy patted his forehead, clearly, they had both forgot this most crucial point!

Just this point gave Li Teng a window of opportunity, a chance to escape!

One hour's time, such a large Film and Television City, if he hid well and Guo's mother couldn't find him within an hour, he could indeed counter-kill her!

Over there, Gao Fei, upon hearing Pretty Boy and Guo's mother's conversation, was filled with immense regret.

He regretted not thinking of this aspect; otherwise, he could have covertly switched sticks with Li Teng under the table earlier, and Li Teng might then have a gleam of hope.

But, he never thought about it from that angle!

Such a clever person as Li Teng hadn't thought of this either.

Now, with Guo's mother having chosen to get off at the first stop with Li Teng, any further attempt to remedy the situation was too late.

Gao Fei sighed and looked over at Li Teng.

Li Teng, however, showed no emotion at all, still slowly sipping his complimentary coffee.

Possibly the last few cups of coffee in his life.
