Silence.
Continued silence.
An awkward silence.
"Hm, I don't believe you."
Irin stood up with an expressionless face and was about to leave.
"Don't — — boss!"
Li Changge seemed to be treating Irin as his last hope as he grabbed onto Irin's pants, refusing to let Irin leave.
Pan Xiaozheng yawned out of boredom.
"Have you forgotten who you are?"
Irin didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Li Changge who was throwing a tantrum on his leg.
"International superstar?"
Li Changge weakly said.
"I'm talking about another identity."
"The world's most handsome?" Li Changge's tone was a bit uncertain.
Irin: "…"
"Hah, don't, don't, don't go! Boss! I know! Of course I know! "
Li Changge saw that Irin was about to leave and hurriedly said: "I know! I didn't forget! But I did run into a ghost! I didn't want to either! I can't do anything about it! "
"Don't you have the [Ghost Slaying Technique]?"
Irin thought for a bit.
This was a skill they both learned in the Hundred-mist Mountain.
— — although it wasn't that useful.
It was like a story from ancient times.
A pig butcher painstakingly learned the art of slaying a dragon.
But there were no dragons in the world.
That … was quite tragic.
The reason why Irin thought [Ghost Slaying Technique] was useless was because outside of the Hundred-mist Mountain trial, this skill couldn't increase his strength at all.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had a Horsemen of the Apocalypse module that could strengthen his skills, [Ghost Slaying Technique] would also be useless to Irin.
With that in mind.
Irin chuckled and added: "Isn't that perfect? I can finally use [Ghost Slaying Technique]"
Li Changge: "…"
What he said was so reasonable that Li Changge had nothing to say in response.
Under Li Changge's persistent pestering, Irin had no choice but to sit down again.
This time, Li Changge did not dare to speak any more nonsense and went straight to the point.
He cut to the chase.
He spoke tirelessly.
"Ahem …" Li Changge coughed dryly and habitually cleared his throat. His expression gradually turned sorrowful, "Actually, it's a long story …"
Irin: "Then please make it short. I'm very busy."
Irin was not trying to evade the responsibility.
Even though it seemed like Irin had returned from her trip to Gotham City, nothing serious had happened.
But regardless of whether he continued to study the "Dionysus factor" in his body.
It was better to continue making plans for the "future."
Or perhaps it was the development of psychokinesis.
Or to track the progress of Mo Mengmeng's research.
No matter what it was, it was far better than sitting here and listening to Li Changge's nonsense.
Because it wasn't important.
Li Changge was quite speechless.
However, he seemed to be able to see that if he didn't pick the main point, Yi Lin and Pan Zhengyi would very likely beat him to the ground with a punch each and then leave.
In Li Changge's view, these two guys, one was ugly and the other was neurotic, but they were not good people.
So …
Li Changge looked at the expressionless Irin and Pan Zhengyi and reorganized his emotions.
"That night … the night of September 7th. I just came back from filming a scene at Haiting Film and Television City. Oh, right, the movie is called 'Gambling Hero, Gambling Saint, Gambling Emperor, and Gambling Immortals Travel Through Time and Space'. It's expected to be released next year. If you want to see it, I'll give you a ticket to the premiere! "
Li Changge glanced at Pan Zhengyi again. "I'll give you one too."
Irin stood up silently.
Pan Xiaozheng clenched his fists silently.
"Ahem, the next part is the main point! The main point! The main point! "
Irin sat down again.
Pan Xiaozheng loosened his clenched fists.
Li Changge saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly said, "You know, usually, I definitely have a special car to pick me up, but that day, Sister Lu was a little unwell and I was too lazy to drive myself. It was very dark and a little cold, the kind that was chilly."
"Plus, Haiting Film and Television City is not far from this villa, so I simply disguised myself that day and planned to walk back from the Film and Television City. Oh, by the way, you probably don't understand that a star like me has too many fans. If I'm recognized on the road, it will definitely be very troublesome. "
Pan Xiaozheng suddenly said, "Fans like Wen Manni?"
Clap, clap, clap.
Li Changge's back suddenly burst out a special effect of chrysanthemum blossoms.
Inexplicable.
"In short, I was alone that night, walking silently on the path."
"Here's the main point." Li Changge seemed to have thought of something and his whole body trembled slightly. "When I came back that day, there was no one else around … because it was too late. At that time, I suddenly felt like someone was looking at me from behind … "
"The eyes that were staring at me from behind made me feel something called 'murderous' — Ah! Yes, Old Pan, that's the kind of eyes you have! "
Irin: "…"
Li Changge paused slightly and continued, "My first reaction at that time was that I might have run into the paparazzi, so I didn't pay attention at that time. Anyway, I have experience in this matter. So, relying on my many years of experience, I hid … But you don't know, the feeling that the eyes gave me was actually getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and closer and closer, and suddenly —!!! "
Li Changge shouted.
Pan Xiaozheng directly jumped onto the sofa, expressionless, and stood up straight. A metal baseball bat had appeared in his hand at some point.
"Just say what you want to say. Can you not speak so eloquently like you're reading a script?"
The corners of Irin's eyes twitched slightly, and he resisted the urge to throw a punch at him. Then, without leaving a trace, he pulled away from Pan Xiaozheng by two body lengths.
To be precise, he pulled away from "Harley Quinn's good friend" by two body lengths.
Pan Xiaozheng realized that he had overreacted a little, so he silently put away the metal baseball bat and sat down again.
But it was obvious that after Li Changge's startled narration, Pan Xiaozheng's eyes had a little more interest.
It seemed a little interesting.
Li Changge continued, "Suddenly, I turned around … There was no one behind me."
Irin nodded.
It was a common plot of a thriller story.
There was no surprise to speak of.
If there was something behind him when he turned around, Li Changge would have been long gone.
Why would he need to ask for help here?
Li Changge saw that Old Pan and Irin's expressions were calm.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But he didn't know that Irin and Old Pan were actually a little disappointed with the ending of this ghost story.
Li Changge didn't dare to continue talking nonsense. He continued to tell his supernatural story.
"Although there was no one behind me when I turned around, I can be sure that the line of sight definitely didn't disappear."
Irin narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked behind Li Changge.
As Li Changge spoke, he noticed Irin's gaze and quickly turned around in fright.
Behind him —
There was no one.
"F * ck, don't scare me."
"Haha."
Irin smiled and shook his head, not explaining.
"Then, I went home."
Li Changge swallowed hard. "My bedroom is on the second floor. Sister Lu also lives here, but she lives on the first floor …"
Old Pan suddenly became interested when she heard this. "Oh?"
It was the third tone.
"Cough, cough, don't misunderstand … Forget it, it's not important." As a celebrity, Li Changge seemed to have long been used to rumors and slanders. He didn't intend to explain and continued to talk about his supernatural story.
"That night, I slept alone as usual. You know, I, Li Changge, am very clean."
Irin and Old Pan nodded at the same time.
They expressed that they believed him.
"But here's the point —"
Li Changge suddenly revealed a frightened expression. "In the middle of the night, I needed to pee and wanted to get up. I felt like there was someone on top of my blanket. I couldn't move, I couldn't move at all!"
Buzz buzz buzz —
Suddenly.
The ceiling lights suddenly dimmed.
It flickered.
In the villa, the air conditioner wasn't turned on, but the temperature seemed to have dropped by a few degrees.
A strange sound rang in everyone's ears at the same time.
It was as if somewhere in this spacious villa, there was someone using long fingernails to scratch the glass repeatedly. The sound was extremely enchanting and ear-piercing.
When the ear-piercing sound of scratching glass was heard, the surroundings were filled with a gloomy atmosphere. It was as if there was a kind of melancholy music lingering in every corner of the villa.
That song was as if there was a sad and beautiful ghost singing in their ears …
Mmm, mmm, ah, ah …
Smack —
Suddenly.
Irin slammed her palm on the table.
She was expressionless.
This sudden slap scared Li Changge so much that he almost peed in his pants.
Pan Zhengyi took out his "good friend" emotionlessly.
"Turn off your … special effects."
Irin, who had just returned from a trip to Gotham City, almost blurted out a translation accent.
"Uh … Sorry, it's a habit. Hehe, it's a habit. It's just a habit when you're in a bad mood."
Li Changge readjusted his emotions.
The strange "special effects" around them disappeared.
The lights were back to normal.
The atmosphere returned to normal.
"Ghost pressure?"
Irin lowered her head and thought for a while.
This seemed to be a common trope in those classic horror and mystery novels.
But looking at Li Changge's attitude, it didn't seem like he was joking.
"Have you seen the so-called 'ghost'?"
Li Changge was crying. "It's because I can't see it that I'm scared! If I can see it, won't I kill it myself? No matter what, I, Li Changge, am a man who experienced the great battle of Haunted-mist Mountain! "
"September 7th …" Irin's expression was calm. "Just that night?"
"No."
Li Changge held his head in pain. His expression was somewhat pale. "It's every night! It's been almost a week! Every night when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel as if someone is lying on my blanket! And I can't move at all! "
"And it's not just in the villa. Even if I stay in a hotel or sleep in the film studio, as long as I sleep, that feeling will come! Unless … I don't sleep. "
Pan Xiaozheng pursed her lips. She was a bit bored. "Then won't it be solved if you don't sleep?"
Li Changge was angry. "I'm not you! People will die if they don't sleep! They will die, they will definitely die! "
"Oh —"
Pan Xiaozheng dragged out the last syllable as if she had suddenly realized something.
Irin continued to ask, "Do you think it's a male ghost or a female ghost?"
Li Changge lowered his head and thought for a moment. He was a bit uncertain. "I think it's a female ghost … Eh? Wait! Whether it's a male or female ghost, that's not the main point! "
Irin chuckled. "Other than being pressed down, do you feel any other discomfort?"
Li Changge was startled. "I … don't think so."
"Do you have symptoms of frequent urination and poor urination?"
"I … don't think so either?"
"Are there any negative conditions on the apostle panel?"
Li Changge opened the apostle panel seriously and took a look. Then, he shook his head. "No."
"When you're pressed down, will your life points decrease?"
Li Changge shook his head again.
"You said you feel like a female ghost, right?"
Li Changge was slightly startled, but he still nodded in agreement.
After a round of questioning.
Irin concluded. "That's it. There are no negative effects, and it makes you feel like a female ghost. What are you not satisfied with? Anyway, you didn't lose anything. "
Li Changge heard this … and was stunned.
That made a lot of sense.
He couldn't refute it for a while.
Now that he heard it, it didn't seem to be a bad thing?
Thinking of this, his mood became inexplicably better.
Irin glanced behind Li Changge and smiled.
"Wait, why do I feel like you're tricking me?"
Irin's words, logically speaking, there didn't seem to be anything wrong.
But Li Changge still felt that something was wrong.
— — Strange.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment.
There was a knock on the door.
"Changge, there's another master. He said he was asked by someone to solve your … problem."
After Zhang Hanlu knocked on the door, she said to Li Changge through the door, "This master didn't make an appointment before coming, but I think it's better to ask for your opinion on whether to see him or not."
Another master?
Irin's expression was strange.
Old Pan chuckled.
Li Changge's expression changed, and his handsome face turned red. He seemed a little embarrassed. "Uh, actually, it's because I can't solve it, so I secretly asked Sister Lu to find an 'expert' in this field a while ago. However, those experts struggled for a while, but they didn't come up with anything. They should be suppressed, and should be dealt with …"
Expert?
In this era of advanced technology, there were actually experts in this field?
Irin was a little surprised.
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had never come into contact with such people.
Now he was a little curious.
Li Changge originally wanted to ask Zhang Hanlu to kick out the "master" who volunteered to help.
After all, if he wasn't so disappointed in the "master", he wouldn't have placed his hopes on Irin.
After all, he hadn't been in the apostle circle for long and didn't know many apostles.
After thinking about it, he had no choice. Irin, who had left a deep impression on Li Changge at Haunted-mist Mountain, became Li Changge's last straw of hope.
Just as Li Changge was about to ask Zhang Hanlu to kick out the person …
Irin smiled. "Let him come in and try."
— — Trying won't make you pregnant.
Fine.
Li Changge had been uneasy these days because of his "encounter with ghosts". He had also canceled many jobs and paid a lot of liquidated damages. In terms of work … he was very free.
A middle-aged man in a suit pushed open the door and entered.
He was carrying a suitcase in his hand.
After Zhang Hanlu invited the "master" in, she couldn't help but look inside curiously.
But there were too many people, so Zhang Hanlu didn't ask much and walked out.
Click.
— — The door was locked again.
The middle-aged man in the suit had a goatee and a smile on his face. He walked like the wind. If one didn't look at his suit, he would have looked like a celestial being.
"I am Zhang Dahai, the sole disciple of the 98th generation of Longhu Mountain. Greetings, Brother Changge."
Zhang Dahai cupped his hands at Li Changge.
The 98th generation of Longhu Mountain's sole disciple?
The legendary Master Zhang's lineage?
Li Changge glanced at Irin, as if he was asking for help.
Irin smiled and didn't say anything.
"You — —"
Li Changge's expression became serious. In front of others, no matter what, he had to maintain his handsome and elegant demeanor.
Otherwise, how could he be an international superstar?
He was about to say "please sit."
But he didn't expect Zhang Dahai to suddenly frown and point at Li Changge's forehead. "Brother Changge, your glabella is dark, and there's an evil spirit hiding between your eyebrows. It seems you've provoked something terrible!"
Li Changge: "!"
Irin: "…"
Old Pan silently put away his baseball bat, looking like he was watching a show.
"Master, please save me! Money isn't a problem! "
Li Changge seemed to have a chance.
Zhang Dahai stuck out two fingers and quickly weighed them in his hand. Then he smiled and said, "Money isn't important. Brother Changge, just give it to me."
"Of course, of course!"
Zhang Dahai didn't say anything else and let Li Changge take him to the bedroom to "do something".
Irin and Old Pan prepared to follow.
Zhang Dahai looked at Irin and Old Pan and frowned.
Li Changge was also a sophisticated person who had mingled in the underworld. He didn't use the same excuse that he used to fool Zhang Hanlu.
Otherwise, if he said the words "Master Yi", it was very likely that Zhang Dahai would explode in anger and say, "How dare a mere child show off in front of me, Zhang Dahai!"
Next, he would omit the ten thousand words of face-slapping melodramatic plot.
Li Changge wasn't that stupid.
After using the excuse of "friends" to fool Zhang Dahai, Zhang Dahai carefully sized up Irin and Old Pan.
Irin smiled slightly, revealing a harmless smile. Only then did Zhang Dahai's slightly furrowed brows relax.
"Fine, it's fine. Later, don't move around. Don't ruin it."
And so — —
Zhang Dahai's expression was solemn as he followed Li Changge to Li Changge's room.
Li Changge's room was very spacious, and there was a large round bed full of emotions.
"Oh?"
Old Pan raised an eyebrow.
Li Changge hurriedly coughed twice. Then, his expression became serious. He didn't bother with the lunatic and explained the situation to Zhang Tianshi in detail.
This kind of profession was indeed difficult to find in this era.
It was even rarer than the number of "apostles".
"What a heavy murderous aura!"
As soon as Zhang Dahai stepped into the room, he immediately frowned.
Li Changge was stunned. Was this a bluff or did he really have some ability?
Murderous aura?
Even he, a man who was "haunted" by ghosts, didn't feel any murderous aura. How did Zhang Dahai get it?
"Uh, please help, Master."
Li Changge didn't quite believe it either.
But with the mentality that he'd rather believe it, he could only let this guy believe it.
In any case, even if he was cheated a thousand times, it was nothing to Li Changge.
Taking a step back, what if it was really solved?
Then it couldn't be more perfect.
And Irin also said that he didn't have a way.
Therefore, Li Changge could only make a Hail Mary effort.
He really couldn't stand the pressure anymore.
— — Scared.
While Li Changge was in a dilemma, Zhang Dahai didn't say any more nonsense. In front of everyone, he used his fingerprint to open the box that he had been holding.
This … … was quite advanced.
Sure enough, no matter what industry it was, it was necessary to keep up with the times.
Li Changge nodded silently and gave him a thumbs up.
In Zhang Dahai's box, there were many complicated looking instruments.
There was also a metal short sword with many small words engraved on it.
"Hmph, in front of me, Zhang Dahai, no ghost can hide!"
Zhang Dahai's eyebrows were full of confidence as he took out a hand-held instrument from the box.
There was a pointer at the top of the instrument.
After Zhang Dahai turned on the instrument, the indicator light was still flashing and making "beep, beep, beep" sounds.
"Hmm?"
Irin suddenly noticed that the light in the room seemed to have dimmed a little.
Not only Irin, but even Old Pan and Li Changge noticed this.
Old Pan silently looked at Li Changge.
Li Changge felt wronged and mouthed — —
This isn't my special effect!
Suddenly.
Just as Irin, Li Changge, and Old Pan were exchanging glances.
The strange instrument in Zhang Dahai's hand madly made "beep, beep, beep" sounds as if it was urging people to get into a car.
Zhang Dahai was stunned.
Originally, he could have pressed a button in secret to create this kind of tense atmosphere.
But — —
He, he, he hadn't pressed it yet!
