Scarlett Jennings looked up, meeting Sebastian Carew’s gaze. His star-like eyes shone brightly, carrying a natural focus that made him seem approachable, “Nice to meet you.” Scarlett extended her hand naturally, and their hands touched briefly before letting go. Ariel Zimmerman, who noticed the action, curiously chirped, “Why did you suddenly start shaking hands? I want to shake hands too!” As she said this, she swiftly grabbed Scarlett’s hand and gave it a light shake. “I’m Ariel Zimmerman, you must be Scarlett Jennings, right? Our names both happen to follow an ABB pattern, so I’ll call you Scarlett!” Scarlett didn’t mind this kind of enthusiasm, and after shaking hands with her, Amber Livingston approached, but her attention was on Ariel instead of Scarlett. “I’m also in the ABB pattern, what a coincidence, I’m Amber Livingston.” Ariel looked at Amber and asked, “Is Amber Livingston your real name?” Amber grinned sheepishly, “My real name is Xie Zhen, Amber Livingston is my online name.” “Oh, I see,” Ariel smiled at him, turning to Evander Simpson beside her. “And you?” Evander was still caught up in his earlier emotions, his face slightly grim, though he knew they were recording the show right now. He composed himself and turned to Ariel, introducing himself, “I’m Evander Simpson, the nineteenth disciple of the True Mountain Sect at Clear Breeze Temple. My Taoist name is Clear Dust.” Everyone: ... Audience in the livestream: ... [This guy looks like an old-fashioned type.] [Remove the word “looks,” he definitely is old-fashioned!] [He’s actually a traditional Taoist, I thought his social media bio was just made up.] [To be honest, this guy is kind of handsome.] [Heh, no matter how handsome, he’s still a Taoist!] [No way, is there still someone who thinks Taoists these days are like monks?] [Just to say, the other girl is really pretty too, why isn’t she introducing herself?] [Ariel already said it, her name is Scarlett Jennings, the top scorer from Sea City, handpicked by the Taoism Academy.] [Is that all?] [That’s it, hahahaha.] As everyone got acquainted, the show’s host finally came out. “Hello everyone, I’m William Zeller, the host of ‘Inspiration.’ I’ll be leading several of you through our three-day, two-night recording.” “This recording will be entirely livestreamed. Once we reach the task location, each participant will have an individual livestream room, and viewers can choose which one to watch. Now, please follow me to our task location.” As the host finished speaking, the six people grabbed their suitcases and moved forward. This place was at the junction of the old city and the suburbs, once home to affluent families, hence the sight of many private villa courtyards. This time, they were heading to a famous Shadow House here. It was the same house Quincy Zimmerman had visited previously. The house was a two-story building with a courtyard in Chinese style. Although the architectural style wasn’t ancient, the exterior showed it had been uninhabited for a long time, exuding a sense of mottled decay. “The house we’re looking at was built by a wealthy businessman twenty years ago but has had five different owners so far. Rumor has it, every owner faced some kind of incident after moving in, with injuries or deaths among the residents...” The host lowered his voice at this point, attempting to create a mysterious atmosphere. “The task for our guests this time is to stay in this house for three days and two nights. They need to uncover the stories occurring in this house by working in groups. Completing tasks will earn points and extra rewards.” The host finished speaking, and as expected, the guests looked perplexed. Among them, Ariel’s expression was the most vivid. “You said no one has lived here for a while, was it cleaned? The house looks scary from the outside.” Amber also showed a worried expression, “Does staying for three days and two nights mean we can only stay inside the house and not go out?” Dashiell Xalvadora asked, “The house looks big. Will there be other people living with us?” Sebastian Carew inquired, “Are there any requirements for grouping?” Each guest asked a question, and the host answered them one by one, “Don’t worry, the house has been cleaned, and you won’t have to sleep with spider webs. Also, participants can leave during the task but must return before dark. The house is reserved just for you. The staff will enter but won’t live there with you. As for grouping, it should be two people per group, into three groups, and you can form teams freely.” The host finished, and Evander, who had been silent, stepped forward and declared, “I’ll be with Dashiell Xalvadora.” Everyone instinctively looked at Evander. Although the previous incident had been smoothed over, they all knew what was on his mind. Clearly, he had been the first to refuse filming with Dashiell Xalvadora, and now he wanted to team up with him. No one believed there wasn’t any motive. [Didn’t this guy say before he wouldn’t film with Dash? Why did he change so quick?] [Wasn’t it for the show’s effect before? It must be the same now.] [Nonsense, anyone can see Sebastian Carew said that to smooth things over.] [Wow, so is there really a feud between Evander and Dash? Someone share this gossip!] [What gossip? There’s nothing! It’s just a typical reality show tactic of creating drama.] The livestream was buzzing with curiosity about Evander’s change in attitude. However, Scarlett understood that Evander wanted to team up with Dashiell to monitor him. That was fine. At least it ensured he wouldn’t cause trouble on the show. Dashiell hesitated when Evander offered to team up. After all, Evander seemed to have seen something, and Dashiell instinctively didn’t want to pair up with him. Yet, refusing in front of the camera would invite viewers to say he was holding a grudge. Dashiell could only smile and agree. Seeing that everyone, including Dashiell, had no objections, Ariel’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly raised her hand. “I! Logically, I should team up with Scarlett, but in later exploration, we’d be at a disadvantage as two girls. As the saying goes, mix genders for easier work, so I’ll pair up with Sebastian Carew.” Ariel said this with a grin and moved closer to Sebastian. By this time, everyone had sensed her intention, yet she openly stated her purpose with a smile, making it hard to accuse her of scheming. After all, Ariel was nicknamed Ariel Zimmerman for a reason; she genuinely had that quality. But unlike others, Ariel’s openness was always evident. Just like now, with her intentions laid out, nobody wanted to compete with her. So, Scarlett and Amber were left to form the last group. Just when the audience thought the grouping was settled, Scarlett suddenly spoke up, “Amber and I can’t be in the same group.”
