Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 98 - 98 98 A Special Sense of Crisis

?Chapter 98: Chapter 98: A Special Sense of Crisis Chapter 98: Chapter 98: A Special Sense of Crisis This was the old den of the International Black Alliance in the Southern Ocean, even though the leader had escaped and took away a lot of important documents, there were still some useful things to be found.

The Special Team took over the place, while Luo Ning and the others were escorted back to the cave, continuing the live broadcast from there tomorrow.

This time, the crew didn’t return to the beach where they were captured but followed Luo Ning and the others, as they too were scared.

Upon returning to the cave, the director privately expressed his gratitude to Luo Ning and Lu Xun.

If it weren’t for Lu Xun, when those kidnappers fired shots earlier, there would certainly have been casualties among the guests and students.

Without Luo Ning, the kidnappers would not have encountered problems and been easily resolved, leaving the guests and students still in great danger.

Thanks to both of them, the crew did not end up in a disastrous situation, for which the director was truly grateful.

After giving thanks, the director went to check on the injured Tong Jia.

“Teacher Tong, how are your hand and leg feeling? Do you need a helicopter to take you to the hospital for treatment?” the director asked, genuinely concerned about the guest’s well-being.

Although two helicopters were taken away, several more were recovered.

Tong Jia looked at the director’s smile, which somehow seemed infuriating.

He chuckled, “After drinking Little Ningning’s medicine and using her Medicine Talisman, I am feeling much better now, thank you for your belated concern.”

The director: “…” was mocked.

Then he caught onto a phrase, “What is a Medicine Talisman?”

When this was brought up, Tong Jia’s smile became genuinely brighter, “Little Ningning specially drew it to help relieve my pain and reduce swelling.”

“Is it useful?” the director asked, hearing about it for the first time.

Tong Jia gave him a withering look, “Nonsense, if it weren’t useful, why would I bother telling you so much?”

“It’s not just useful, it’s extremely useful.” He lifted his chin and began to extensively praise the effects of the Medicine Talisman.

Seeing his sincere expression, coupled with witnessing the capability of Luo Ning earlier in the day, the director somewhat believed him.

He couldn’t help but remark, “Inviting Luo Ning to the program was the wisest decision I made.”

Once this episode is over, he also planned to seek Luo Ning’s help for a face-reading or Divination, to see if the next episode will proceed smoothly and so forth.

Tong Jia strongly agreed, “On this matter, you really did act wisely.”

Director: “…” Never mind, he decided not to take issue with the injured Tong Jia.

After a frightful evening and a tiring trek back and forth in the dark, everyone soon fell asleep one after another.

In the middle of the night, Luo Ning opened her eyes and got up.

As she walked out of the cave, she heard very light footsteps following behind.

Turning around, she indeed saw Lu Xun, and whispered, “Mr. Lu, where are you going?”

Lu Xun walked up beside Luo Ning and whispered back, “I’m coming with you to handle the Beast Bone.”

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, “You really know me well.”

The Seven Killings Beast Bone Illusion Array she had set up earlier was no longer effective, but the Beast Bones marked with runes were still there.

Luo Ning was concerned that someone might specifically come to study them later and discover this was a lost Array, so she decided to destroy the Beast Bones in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xun already knew her plans.

“I guessed you wouldn’t leave any loose ends, and since handling the Beast Bone will take time, I thought I’d come and help,” Lu Xun said with a light laugh.

In the dead of night, he was not comfortable with Luo Ning going alone, and he also worried it might be too exhausting for her.

Since her father went missing, in Luo Ning’s heart, her mother and brother became her responsibility to care for, so she shouldered everything herself.

The continuous care and concern from Lu Xun inevitably sparked some indescribable warmth in her.

“Alright, then I’ll trouble Mr. Lu for his help,” she said, not rejecting his kindness.

The two of them made eye contact under the moonlight, exchanged smiles, and quickly walked toward the kidnappers’ previous hideout.

Members of the Special Team were guarding the captured kidnappers, resting and keeping watch inside and outside the cabin.

Luo Ning and Lu Xun didn’t greet them upon arrival, nor did they want to be noticed, so they proceeded with great care.

They dug out the beast bones, scraped the runes off with a knife, then buried a Corrosion Charm with it.

Afterward, the bones would naturally decay gradually, ensuring that no one would notice anything unusual even if they came.

There were quite a few beast bones to bury, and scraping the runes off the bones was time-consuming. However, since there were two of them, it took about an hour to finish everything.

Luo Ning increasingly found Lu Xun extraordinary.

She managed to avoid detection from the people not far from the cabin using some Mystical Techniques.

Lu Xun also remained undetected, not through Mystical Techniques, but by using a Concealing Breath Technique.

By using this technique, both his presence and the breath he emitted became extremely faint, virtually negligible.

For some reason, Luo Ning felt a strange familiarity with it, yet she couldn’t remember where she had seen this technique before.

Likewise with Lu Xun, she didn’t know why, but she just felt that he wouldn’t harm her.

She had grown accustomed to his caring and consideration, which is why she didn’t reject it.

She always felt as if she had forgotten or lost some crucial memory after coming back.

After Luo Ning and Lu Xun finished dealing with the Beast Bones, they left; even the sensitive Night Watchman outside the cabin did not realize they had been there.

They returned to the cave, and no one else realized they had gone out.

After a good night’s sleep, Luo Ning got up at dawn the next day.

This time, she didn’t deliberately conceal her breath, and some of the lighter sleepers noticed her.

Ji Xinghang was one of them; just as Luo Ning got up to leave the cave, he also woke up and followed her out.

He had participated in activities with Lu Xun before, an individual who was actually quite aloof and distant with others.

But towards Luo Ning, he always showered her with care and insisted on teaming up with her; Ji Xinghang refused to believe that the guy harbored no ulterior motives.

Lu Xun was as handsome as him, perhaps even surpassing the Ji family in terms of family background, and had a higher and more stable position in the entertainment circle, thereby causing Ji Xinghang to feel especially insecure.

“Ningning, are you going to look for food?” Ji Xinghang walked quickly to Luo Ning’s side, smiling sideways at her.

Luo Ning shook her head, “No, I’m planning to freshen up. It’s more fun to look for breakfast together with everyone.”

“…” Ji Xinghang, who had just been about to say he would accompany Luo Ning to find food, choked.

He forced a smile, “That’s true, you can’t always spoil them.”

Then with some caution, he asked, “I also need to freshen up, shall we go together?”

Luo Ning, not wanting to be alone with Ji Xinghang, replied, “Sure, I’ll go call our team members.”

Ji Xinghang: “…” Why call others, but he couldn’t refuse.

Watching Luo Ning return to the cave to call others, Ji Xinghang felt a bit defeated. What could he do to make Luo Ning accept his closeness again?

Soon, he took a deep breath and followed her into the cave to call his own teammates.
