Chapter 462
462 The Internet’s Girlfriend
Oliver and the others heard a loud click, Indicating that someone had locked the door from the outside,
followed by a chilling laughter. At once, panic and chaos ensued.
“Who locked the door? “Aimee tugged fiercely on the doorknob and looked at the cameras as if to
demand answers from the production crew.
Yvonne was no longer concerned with being called a rule–breaker as she whipped out her phone for its
flashlight function. However, she paled when she realized that her phone had died.
Cecilia was a bundle of nerves as she clutched Zane’s shirt and tried to hide behind im. Unfortunately
for her, he was even more terrified than she was and became filled with the urge to quit the show.
Oliver shouted into the darkness, “Kina! Let us out right now! This isn’t funny!”
There was a beat of silence outside the door, then a woman’s angry voice pierced the air. “Kina? Who’s
Kina? I ought to punish you cradle robbers for trespassing our hospital!”
The voice sounded human and normal, despite the insidious undertone. The guests breathed a sigh of
relief, but their relief was short–lived as logic kicked in..
“Wait, isn’t this hospital abandoned? Why did she say the hospital is theirs?” Zane asked fearfully.
Oliver explained, “She’s probably a non–player character used for plot development. They did this last
season too.”
“I thought the NPC would only show up after an important lead has been found, Aimee interjected.
She had only just said this when the sound effects from the production crew rang through the air,
followed by an announcement.
“Congratulations to pair number five for solving the key riddle and unlocking the NPC, Lana Wilson!
“Lana is a nurse at the children’s hospital and has seen her fair shafe of incidents at the hospital.
Perhaps
you can sit down and have a nice chat with her to learn more!”
Reassured that this was the character that the playwright had told her about, Cecilia felt her shoulders
slump with relief. Whatever happened earlier was probably just a small mishap.
“You were right, Oliver. She’s just an NPC after all. Thank goodness we have someone experienced
among us, huh?” Cecilia praised, attempting to get on Oliver’s good side.
However, Oliver couldn’t care less about her praises, nor was he happy about them. “Is the crew
serious? How could anyone get to the lead that quickly? It’s only been ten minutes!”
Dexter said nothing. The crew was still busy trying to bring the system back to life and fixing the
equipment.
Meanwhile, the audience’s astonishment was evident from the comments flooding the streaming
channel.
“You have to commend Tobias‘ partner for having guts. She didn’t even bat an eye before rummaging

through the delivery room,” a viewer commented.
“She solved seven questions in 13 minutes and found the Important lead! She’s a genius! I think I’m in
love!” another viewer gushed,
“She and Kina work well together. My gosh! When they looked at each other after hearing the scream,
made me want to ship them so badly!”
The show was gaining newfound popularity for having better suspense than the first season.

Everyone thought this was courtesy of Dexter’s plot arrangement, but Dexter had already summoned
his
assistant and demanded in hushed tones, “Who let the NPC lock the others in? That’s not how the
script
goes.
“Maybe the playwright made some adjustments?” the production assistant suggested.
At that moment, Oliver said confidently to Lana, “We aren’t cradle robbers, but we can help you track
down the real ones.”
Lana was about to walk away. But when she heard this, she backed up a few steps. “Oh? Do you have
a
plan in mind?”
“Of course,” Oliver replied, already thinking of ways to score. “We came here to help you.”
Lana drawled breezily, “I don’t like children who lie. But since you’re here to help me, I’d like for one of
you to come with me to the delivery room.”
