....................................

In the following period, the filming of "Infinite Challenge" continued, and Liu Zaitian had thoroughly entered the 'audience' mode, watching the other six MCs host the show as if he were a spectator.

As a result, Liu Zaitian often became the target of others' teasing in the program. At times, his overly prominent presence even completely blocked the camera lens.

However, during this period, the overall ratings of "Infinite Challenge" steadily increased as the hosts became more默契 (cooperative). The ratings rose from the initial 5.4% to 7.8% in the last episode, which, although not high, was a significant affirmation for the entire production team.

Moreover, with the recording of several episodes, the content of the show was constantly being fine-tuned. From the actions of the hosts at the beginning to the classic 'skull' mark during video editing, all these elements were gradually added.

However, not all the news was good.

Especially for Liu Zaitian, his completely silent performance, and sometimes overly prominent audience mode, resulted in very few viewers liking him on the official "Infinite Challenge" website.

Those who did like him were all attracted by his outstanding appearance. As a result, Liu Zaitian earned his first title on "Infinite Challenge" — mascot!

Today, it was Saturday afternoon again. In an ordinary dormitory in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, Choi Sooyoung had finished her practice early and returned here.

She turned on the TV, adjusted the channel, and took out her long-cherished snacks, then sat on the sofa. Her eyes never left the TV screen after that.

"Unnie, you're watching this show again. I have to say, your Zaitian oppa, apart from being handsome, is not at all suited to be a comedian." Walking out of the room, seeing Choi Sooyoung's current setup, Lim Yoonae knew she wouldn't be able to watch her favorite drama and could only pout and complain.

"Hmm~~~?" Squinting her eyes, she shifted her gaze to Lim Yoonae, who had just sat down. "Then, dear Yoonae, can you tell me what makes a good comedian?"

"(⊙o⊙)... Hehe, Unnie, I was just joking. Zaitian oppa is the coolest." She quickly moved closer, tightly hugging one of Choi Sooyoung's arms and shaking it, with a pitiful look that would make anyone feel sympathetic.

Unfortunately, for Choi Sooyoung, who was already immune to such tactics, it had no effect. But at that moment, the opening music of "Infinite Challenge" had already started.

"Hmm, I know." She said briefly and shifted her gaze to the TV.

Seeing that Choi Sooyoung had completely ignored her, Lim Yoonae cautiously asked again, "Unnie, can I eat your snacks?"

"Sure, sure, go ahead." Nodding absentmindedly, Choi Sooyoung's mind was completely focused on the TV show, and she didn't even think about Lim Yoonae's question.

"Unnie, you're so nice." Smiling, Lim Yoonae grabbed a bag in front of her, opened it, and stuffed a handful into her mouth, chewing loudly.

Since she couldn't watch her favorite drama, Lim Yoonae could only follow Choi Sooyoung and watch the variety show planned by Zaitian oppa.

......

At midnight, with raindrops continuously falling, forming large and small puddles on the ground.

This was a school that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time. The flower beds on both sides of the road were overgrown due to lack of maintenance.

From the entrance to the teaching building, there was a large playground, but now it was covered with tall and uneven weeds.

At this moment, a hunched figure was slowly moving towards the teaching building.

"I knew it, I knew it would be like this. Not letting me walk with my brother, making me walk alone, it's all a conspiracy." His voice trembled. In the entire area, except for the light from the car headlights at the entrance, everything else was pitch black.

Especially looking at the dark and ominous teaching building in the distance, Liu Zaitian always felt it was like a giant monster waiting for its weak prey to approach.

Gulp...

Swallowing again, although he knew this day would come, when it actually arrived, Liu Zaitian still felt a bit uneasy.

Although... although he knew it was all fake, he was still afraid.

Because today's filming content of "Infinite Challenge" was a Korean-style horror special, the "Nalryeong Special," which made people feel their hair stand on end and their bodies shiver.

Originally, Liu Zaitian didn't believe in ghosts and spirits, but as a normal person, he always felt uneasy when faced with such things. After experiencing rebirth, a completely strange event, although he didn't say it, he suddenly believed in the existence of ghosts and spirits, and thus had a greater respect and fear for them.

Even, a fear that bordered on terror...

It was still the school he had seen in videos before. The shooting process naturally appeared in Liu Zaitian's mind, but knowing it didn't mean he wasn't afraid.

Bang!

A sudden loud noise.

"Ahhh!!! Brother %>_<%, where are you? I'm scared, I'm really scared..." Lost in thought, Liu Zaitian had unknowingly reached the entrance of the teaching building. Next to the stairs, a metal cabinet door suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang, making Liu Zaitian, who was unprepared, tremble all over, and his leg muscles instantly went limp.

"That Zaitian is really afraid of these things." In the second-floor hall, looking at Liu Zaitian, who hadn't moved for a long time in front of the camera, Haha directly said to Liu Zaisuk.

"Actually, I'm not sure, but I can confirm that he didn't like watching horror movies when he was young." Although he said it with a smile, when he looked at Liu Zaitian in the camera, Liu Zaisuk's eyes were filled with deep concern.

"Breath... breath... deep breath, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!" Taking several deep breaths, he comforted himself in a hypnotic manner, while recalling what would happen next in the video.

Hmm... if there's no change, a staff member dressed as a plaster man should appear behind him.

"There's no danger, it's all fake!"

Continuing to hypnotize himself, he slowly moved forward, but 80% of Liu Zaitian's attention was now focused on the area behind him.

Puff!

Suddenly, thick white smoke spewed out from under the doors on both sides.

"Ahhh!... Kim Tae-ho!..."

"O(∩_∩)O Hahaha~ I didn't expect Zaitian to look so good but be so timid. Zaisuk, you two brothers really match." In the second-floor position, seeing Liu Zaitian tightly pressing his body against the wall, Park Myung-soo directly said. In response, Liu Zaisuk could only smile helplessly and continue to focus on the monitor in front of him.
