    Chapter 3 Three Minutes

    The moment of silence made all the trainees present feel a chill coming from the soles of their feet.

    "Don't be ridiculous, there's someone knocking on the door, how can there be no one?" Ding Zhaozhao was bolder, held up the camera in his hand and squeezed to the door and walked out.

    He looked around at the door, only to see the darkness, as if there was a layer of fog that couldn't be removed, and he couldn't see anyone.

    Ding Zhaozhao didn't believe it and shouted outside: "Who knocked on the door? Stop making trouble!"

    A trainee in the same group said, "Could it be a staff member?"

    Ding Zhaozhao thought this answer was acceptable: "It must be. There is no power in the corridor. It is probably because the building has a power outage."

    "It's not surprising. It rained so heavily today and there was thunder." The leader of their group said, "I guess there are already staff checking the switch."

    This is the fourth grouping. There is no Jiang Qiao or Lu Qing in the group. After the fight, the program team also intentionally separated them.

    Team leader Alan has organizational skills and his singing skills rank high among all the trainees. He took the initiative to choose Chu Ruocun.

    Alan's words were somewhat comforting. Everyone was so frightened by Chu Ruocun just now, and now they started to become active again. Who knew that someone who usually only immersed himself in practice would suddenly joke with them? It was just a joke.

    Ding Zhaozhao followed suit: "Then let's wait in the training room. There's a power outage and heavy rain, so we can't go anywhere."

    But at this time, different voices came out of the live broadcast room.

    rain?I remember that 99 1 was in Nanbin District, Jingzhou. I also lived in the suburbs, but it didn’t rain here.

    ——And it’s four o’clock in the afternoon, and it’s still quite bright.

    ——I opened the weather column on my mobile phone and searched. It didn’t show rain in Nanbin District, Jingzhou. Today’s weather forecast is sunny.

    ——That means the 99 1 training camp is not in Jingzhou.

    ——It makes sense. It is impossible for us to hear thunder and rain in the same area.

    These barrages discussing the weather were quickly deleted.

    I couldn't go back to my dormitory, and I couldn't continue practicing. It was pitch dark outside the corridor.

    In just a few minutes, it had changed from a foggy state to a lacquered xuan state. Everyone did not dare to run around and simply returned to the training room.

    Alan called the director of the program, but no one answered for a long time. He didn't know what happened. However, everyone obviously believed that someone would handle it, and they didn't care about it.

    Chu Ruocun deliberately closed the door and reminded others: "No matter who knocks on the door later, don't open the door casually."

    But everyone obviously didn't listen to him. Instead, they sat in a circle and focused all their attention on the live broadcast.

    Ding Zhaozhao is still more able to liven up the atmosphere: "Since we can't train, how about changing it to a welfare time. Fans can ask each person two questions and then everyone answers. How about it?"

    Everyone is eager to give it a try. This is much more exposure than just showing off a few seconds of behind-the-scenes footage.

    "Then let's start now, starting from my left hand side." Ding Zhaozhao pointed to the trainee next to him. They were roommates before and had a good relationship.

    Alan left the seat next to Chu Ruocun: "You can sit here."

    Chu Ruocun did not refuse.

    The trainees began to answer questions asked by fans in the live broadcast room, and the atmosphere was quite lively for a while.

    There are eight people in a group, including Ding Zhaozhao, there are nine people in the training room, and they can answer questions very quickly in turn.

    After a while, Alan arrived. He ranked high in popularity. As soon as he showed up, the live broadcast room was full of his fans. The fans asked him if he had any requirements for his future girlfriend. He answered with a smile, and it was clear that he had been trained by the company..

    It was Chu Ruocun's turn next.

    Everyone started to get excited. Ding Zhaozhao pretended not to know that Chu Ruocun was used as cannon fodder by the company. As soon as Alan's question and answer session ended, he immediately turned the camera on Chu Ruocun.

    Ding Zhaozhao seemed to know everything. He raised his eyelids and asked, pretending to be innocent, "It's Ruocun's turn, do you guys have anything to ask him?"

    Chu Ruocun could hear that there was a bit of excitement in his voice.

    In Alan's group, besides him, the most popular one is Chu Ruocun, and he has just been on the hot search list, so fans of the show have a hard time not knowing him!

    In the live broadcast room, as soon as Chu Ruocun showed his face, he received several comments criticizing him.

    While cursing people, it did not affect their appreciation of Chu Ruocun's face.

    I saw that the person they were scolding was quite calm. He smoothed the hair on his forehead, revealing his smooth and plump forehead, full of collagen. He looked at the barrage that kept going upwards with soft eyes, beautifulThere seemed to be a flash of curiosity in his eyes.

    Even though the barrage was scrolling quickly, he still captured all the content.

    The questions were all chosen by Ding Zhaozhao. He came over and took a photo with his mobile phone at the screen, and selected two questions from the frozen photo.

    "I just took the photo, I didn't keep it privately. Here's the question." The photo he took flicked up, glanced at Chu Ruocun, and said a little guiltily, "The fans asked you, why did you hit Lu Qing?"

    Chu Ruocun said in a calm tone: "I didn't hit Lu Qing."

    Ding Zhaozhao took care of the content on the barrage and asked, "You said you didn't hit Lu Qing. Do you have any evidence?"

    Chu Ruocun held his chin and faced the camera, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and smiled like a spring breeze: "In three minutes, the evidence will appear."

    As soon as he finished speaking, a new round of ridicule began in the barrage.

    ——You are daydreaming here!

    ——I am a fool to believe you!

    ——In your current power outage situation, are you stupid enough to come here in three minutes to prove that you didn’t hit anyone?

    ——What about daydreaming?They have already admitted to beating others, and they still want to clear their names!

    ——Chu Ruocun, withdraw from the competition!

    Ding Zhaozhao immediately turned the camera to the trainee below. As for the barrage, you can actually ignore it.

    Other trainees who had already been asked questions did not agree with Chu Ruocun's statement that the evidence would be revealed in three minutes. Chat when you should and rest when you should.

    Although the trainees didn't care about Chu Ruocun's words, the fans did. The trainees behind him couldn't chat for a minute. The barrage was all about cursing Chu Ruocun, and some of them were waiting for three minutes.Later, he continued to mock Chu Ruocun, saying that he was a grasshopper after autumn and only spent a few minutes jumping around.

    However, there were still some discordant voices inside. Some people actually thought that Chu Ruocun was good-looking, and thought that the way he crossed his legs and held his chin just now was elegant. Others were not happy with this kind of statement, and the two sides started to argue with each other. They are so elegant.I'm afraid I'm not blind.

    Alan knew that Lu Qing and Jiang Qiao were not dealing with each other. He had some sympathy for Chu Ruocun and quietly told him: "There is no need for you to offend the fans."

    Chu Ruocun repeated: "Offended?" He didn't care about these netizens.

    However, these netizens are really easy to control. As long as they are provoked, their emotions will skyrocket, and they can easily be led by others. They can be used as other people's guns at any time, and they can also praise people to the sky at any time. It can be said thatWinning or losing does not matter.

    "You have to continue playing in the future. It's best not to compete with them. It won't do you any good." Thinking that Qingju Company had given up on Chu Ruocun, Alan's voice softened. He saw that Chu Ruocun didn't seem to have any intention at all.After listening to it, I still sighed in my heart.

    Before Alan could finish sighing, there was a sudden heavy knock on the door of the training room, and the sound was quite rapid.

    "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door quickly! Help!"

    Before the trainees could react, Chu Ruocun was already standing by the door, but he didn't open the door.

    He knew who the person outside was, the trainee who saw Lu Qing and Jiang Qiao fighting in the bathroom that day.

    Ding Zhaozhao smelled the rising traffic trend and turned his camera to Chu Ruocun.

    When he wanted to speak out, Chu Ruocun put his index finger to his lips and made a "shush" motion.

    Some trainees reacted.

    "Really three minutes?"

    "Seems to be."

    "It's just a coincidence."

    Chu Ruocun, who was standing by the door, asked the person outside: "He Jun, can you answer me? You saw Lu Qing and Jiang Qiao fighting in the bathroom that day, right?"

    The people outside were obviously anxious: "Yes, it was Jiang Qiao who beat Lu Qing."

    Chu Ruocun asked him again: "Then what is Chu Ruocun doing?"

    He Jun outside was obviously not thinking. There was still the sound of rain through the door, and the voice was not clear. He blurted out: "Chu Ruocun hugged Jiang Qiao to break up the fight!"

    After the quick questions and answers, He Jun outside the door said anxiously: "I answered your question, let me in quickly! Something is chasing me!"

    Netizens in the barrage suddenly didn’t know what to post.

    All the trainees: "..."

    It seemed like almost exactly three minutes.

    The barrage at this time reacted immediately.

    ——I don’t believe it. He Jun is from their Qingju company, and he must have said this because he was cooperating with Chu Ruocun.

    ——I don’t believe it either. You’re just kidding us for three minutes.

    ——But, as far as I know, He Jun has the best relationship with Jiang Qiao. They are high school classmates, so they won’t offend Jiang Qiao by speaking for Chu Ruocun, right?

    ——Ah this...

    ——I don’t believe it, Chu Ruocun must have colluded with He Jun in advance using his mobile phone!

    Only then did netizens realize that He Jun did have the best relationship with Jiang Qiao, and they often interacted with each other on Weibo. There was another time before, He Jun said to Chu Ruocun’s face that there was a hole in Chu Ruocun’s T-shirt during the show, which made Chu RuocunVery embarrassing.

    However, is the three minutes Chu Ruocun said so mysterious?Isn’t it really better to collude with He Jun?

    The trainees' feelings were the most intuitive. First of all, they were sure that Chu Ruocun didn't have a mobile phone on him, so there was no way to contact He Jun, and He Jun did have a good relationship with Jiang Qiao.

    Ding Zhaozhao said what I heard: "Ruocun didn't bring his mobile phone."

    At the same time, Chu Ruocun asked Ding Zhaozhao to take two steps back: "You take two steps back, and I will let He Jun in."

    Ding Zhaozhao obeyed and retreated. Then netizens saw Chu Ruochen making a cross on the door. The door opened, and a hand formed from black mist pressed down on He Jun's Tianling Cap. When Qian Jun fired, He Jun fell down with a pale face.Coming in, Chu Ruocun quickly closed the door. When the black mist hand touched the door, he retracted and disappeared into the darkness.

    And all of this was recorded intact into the live broadcast room.

    ——I just seemed to see a hand, black...

    I also……

    ——Goosebumps are rising!

    ——Ahhhhhhhh, it scared me to death!

    what? What?I just blinked and didn't see it. What happened?

    No one answered netizens’ questions.

    The trainees saw He Junren's almost frightened state and stepped forward to care for him.

    Ding Zhaozhao got close and asked directly: "What's wrong with you? Are you afraid of the dark?"

    He Jun said with a trembling voice: "I'm not afraid of the dark, there's something outside that's been chasing us!"

    "W-what is it?" Ding Zhaozhao didn't dare to ask anymore.

    "But why are you alone?" Alan also asked him.

    He Jun shrank between them, hugged his legs, shook his head and said, "We got separated while running in the corridor. I just heard Jiang Qiao's cry. Didn't he come in?"

    Everyone shook their heads.

    He Jun's face turned even paler.

    Chu Ruocun saw Jiang Qiaoyintang turning black and having a lifeless look on his face this morning. He had just regained his life and hadn't had time to think too much. He didn't expect it to happen here.

    At this moment, the rhythmic knocking on the door once again broke the sudden silence in the training room.

    Dude, dunk, dunk, dunk.

    "He Jun, open the door, it's me." This was Jiang Qiao's voice.

    He Jun wiped away his frightened tears and suddenly said excitedly: "It's Jiang Qiao! Hurry, let him in!"

    But Chu Ruocun told him calmly: "He is not Jiang Qiao, so he cannot open the door."

    He Jun said angrily: "Chu Ruocun, you and Jiang Qiao have nothing to do with each other, but you can't just ignore him! Things outside are very scary!"

    Other trainees echoed: "Yeah, how could you do this."

    He Jun: "Let him in quickly!"

    The trainees unanimously decided to open the door and let Jiang Qiao in, while Chu Ruocun was pushed aside.

    A trainee opened the door a crack...
