Chapter 18 Finding a Way Out
Chang Xi saved him before, could it be that Chang Xi is his benefactor?
Lu Wenli's gaze wandered, finally landing on a dark figure by the bedside.
A woman with long hair sat on the edge of the bed. As if sensing Lu Wenli's gaze, she turned her head 180 degrees. In the moonlight, her face did not change much, except that the place where her eyes should have been was empty.
Her hair gradually extended infinitely onto the bed, almost engulfing the three of them, when Chen Changqing jumped up beside her, the jade pendant around his neck emitting a dazzling white light.
The female ghost screamed, half of her hair was burned off, and she disappeared into the darkness.
Lu Wenli sighed inwardly: "Damn, there are magical artifacts like that. I'll have my parents buy one when I get back; I have the money."
Its daybreak.
Chang Xi, holding an iron umbrella, stepped out of the room, with Hong Yan perched on her shoulder.
She stretched and glanced at Lu Wenli walking out from the opposite side. "You're still alive."
"I'm lucky to be alive, there's nothing I can do about it," Lu Wenli said, his eyes dark and swollen, forcing himself to stay alert.
Hao Ren walked over and said, "The show is temporarily suspended. Let's go down the mountain first."
"Why?" Tian Yu asked, puzzled. "Did something happen to the program?"
"Never mind that for now, let's get down the mountain quickly, or it will be too late," Hao Ren said in a panic.
"what!"
Screams came from not far away.
Chang Xi raised an eyebrow. "I think it's too late."
The crowd rushed over, drawn by the sound.
It was a pilgrim's room. A portly man had died in his own room, his head drooping over his shoulder in a twisted position.
"Ah—" Tian Yu exclaimed, hiding behind Xu Shenglong. "Is this a mannequin? It's terrifying!"
Xu Shenglong even put his arm around Tian Yu's shoulder to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll protect you."
Chen Changqing stepped forward and touched the man's neck. "It's a person. He's really dead."
Xu Man panicked as well, grabbing Chang Xi's clothes, "Who killed her?"
Chen Changqing glanced at the broken neck and said, "It's a ghost, it must be the female ghost from last night."
"What a joke! Where would you find ghosts?" Xu Shenglong shouted.
Chang Xi glanced at him as if sensing something, "Why are you so panicked? Are you scared?"
"Who said that? I just think we should be scientific and not superstitious," Xu Shenglong said, his eyes darting around.
"We really did run into each other last night," Lu Wenli said. "If you don't believe me, ask the photographer; he was with us too."
The photographer nodded.
"Let's go down the mountain, let's go down the mountain now!" Hao Ren decided immediately.
As the group walked onto the open ground on the steps at the temple entrance, an invisible barrier blocked their way.
"How could this happen?!" Xu Shenglong panicked. "What is this thing?"
"Call the police!" Tian Yu suggested.
Hao Ren said, "We called the police last night, but we couldn't make any calls."
Xu Shenglong tried it, and indeed there was no signal.
"What about the live stream?" Chang Xi asked.
"It's strange, the live stream is still going on, and we can see the comments, but we can't contact the outside world at all. The comments say that they can't find our place at all." Gao Ren pointed to the comments.
【Yeah yeah.】
This is absolutely unbelievable.
Please don't panic. We are from the Special Investigations Department and have already launched an investigation. Please trust us.
What is the Special Investigations Department?
"Special Cases Investigation Division," Chen Changqing explained, "I heard my grandfather say that this is a department established after the founding of China, specifically used to investigate paranormal events and metaphysical cases all over the country."
Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Hao Ren respectfully said, "Mr. Chen is a member of the Xuanmen sect and a prominent figure in the Chen family for generations. Before the Special Investigations Department arrives, I would like to ask you to protect everyone. I will cover the expenses."
"Don't worry, I'll draw some talismans for everyone," Chen Changqing assured him.
In the courtyard, Chen Changqing put on his Taoist robe, prepared everything, and performed a ritual. After fiddling around for a long time, he drew two talismans.
"This talisman is very resource-intensive; I can only draw two," Chen Changqing taught the talisman.
"Let's stick it on the door," Hao Ren decided, with men and women sleeping separately, one talisman per room.
In critical moments, professionals are still the most reliable.
Thankfully, we have Qingzai.
Chang Xi glanced at it, then got up and went out.
"Where are you going?" Lu Wenli asked her.
When she turned around, everyone was looking at her.
Hao Ren said with concern, "It's dangerous outside, don't go out."
Chang Xi laughed, "Do you really think you can stop them with just two talismans?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Changqing asked, displeased. "What's wrong with my talisman?"
"What are you pretending to be an expert for, you half-baked idiot?" Chang Xi retorted.
"Who are you calling a half-baked amateur?" Chen Changqing retorted, displeased. "My Chen family is a prestigious family of Taoist masters. Which sect are you from, daring to spout such nonsense here?"
What's wrong with Chang Xi? Why is he still causing trouble at a time like this?
I really don't want to see her at all; it would be best if she just went out and died.
[They even dare to stage an incident involving a powerful Taoist family; they're really courting death.]
[Qingzai, ignore her! Let her go to her death.]
[Perhaps Chang Xi has a solution; didn't she chase away the female ghost last night?]
She's amazing; she's caught ghosts on her livestreams before.
[Her luck was just pure chance; can she keep getting such good fortune?]
"You're neither a member of any sect nor a faction," Chang Xi said, putting on his sunglasses, "but you're still a half-baked amateur."
"You!" Chen Changqing exclaimed angrily.
The others quickly stopped Chen Changqing.
"Chang Xi, just shut up," Tian Yu said. "Everyone still needs Chang Qing's protection, how can you scold him?"
"I never said I needed his protection," Chang Xi pulled down his sunglasses, revealing a pair of amber eyes. "You guys are really too naive. Do you really think the female ghost and her group would let us stay safely until we reach the Special Investigations Department?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Man exclaimed in surprise. "Wait, you mean 'them'? More than one female ghost?"
"Hmm," Chang Xi put on his sunglasses.
Lu Wenli nodded. "There were two. Chen Changqing took one, and we met the other outside the main hall last night."
"You're wrong," Chang Xi reminded him, "There's also the one that was hung on the Buddha statue on the day we started."
"You saw it too!" Lu Wenli exclaimed in surprise. "I thought I was seeing things. You have the ability to see ghosts too?"
"No, but I saw it."
"You saw it and didn't say anything?" Xu Shenglong accused. "Do you want to watch everyone die?"
"Is your head filled with seawater?" Chang Xi retorted. "At the time, I hadn't figured out what the female ghost wanted to do, and she didn't attack me, so why should I alert her?"
Afraid of not dying fast enough?
Chen Changqing clenched his fists. Three female ghosts—his talismans couldn't stop them.
"Chang Xi, do you have something on your mind?" Hao Ren pursed his lips.
"Instead of waiting to die here, we should go out and think of a way out," Changxi said. "Only those who die a violent death will become vengeful ghosts. If we know how they died, we'll know how to get out."
Chang Xi stepped out of the room.
"I'll go with you!" Lu Wenli followed.
Hao Ren was terrified. "No way, Young Master Lu, if anything else happens, Chairman Lu won't let me off the hook."
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Wenli faced the camera. "Mom and Dad, you're watching. Listen to me, I went with Chang Xi voluntarily. Whether it's life or death, it has nothing to do with the production team or Chang Xi."
[Little Deer's Mom: You brat!]
[Lu Wenli's mother is also in the live stream!]
[Little Deer's Mom: Be careful.]
Lu Wenli followed Chang Xi, asking, "Where should we begin our investigation?"
