I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

"This...this might need to be sent back to the factory for repair. I'll go ask the factory first."

He Jiaoyang's voice began to tremble. He silently took a few steps back and picked up his briefcase.

Then, as if fleeing, he left the screening room. Looking back, he saw Bai Qiquan following him out, as well as the female ghost with her head tilted to the side.

Only after stepping out of the building and into the sunlight could He Jiaoyang finally catch his breath.

Meanwhile, Qin Tiantian, who was playing a game at Silent Media, glanced over and saw a middle-aged man in blue overalls standing at the front desk.

"Hello, I'm here to fix the projector."

The uncle said.

"Oh, you need to fix the projector? Please register here. The screening room is straight ahead inside."

Qin Tiantian pointed to the electronic registration board next to her.

After the other party registered, they played games for a while, and then Qin Tiantian suddenly looked up.

"Hasn't this conversation already happened once before?"

Am I trapped in a loop?

Chapter 528 We have received professional training

Despite the sweltering summer heat, He Jiaoyang was terrified, his hands and feet turned ice-cold, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He returned to his hotel, immediately opened his briefcase, took out a talisman and stuck it on the door, then took out a pure silver cross, chanted for a while, and then chewed two cloves of garlic.

Then he rushed into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

Having changed into a brand new set of clothes, He Jiaoyang couldn't help but recall what he had just seen.

"Many people in the film and television industry, as well as wealthy people, like to engage in crooked and shady practices. It seems that Lu Ban is no exception. He must be using these things to bewitch people and make money by making movies. I want to expose this behavior!"

Thinking of this, He Jiaoyang immediately packed his things and, following the map, arrived at the police station closest to where Lu Ban was staying.

Lu Ban isn't filming a movie or at the company right now; he's definitely at home!

He Jiaoyang arrived at the entrance of the police station and saw the police officers on duty inside.

"I want to report this to the police!"

He said.

"Report a crime? Slow down and explain clearly."

The young policeman immediately became alert, asked He Jiaoyang to sit down, and asked his colleague to pour him a glass of water.

"Is there anything we can do to help you?"

Upon hearing this, He Jiaoyang leaned closer to the table and lowered his voice.

"Don't be afraid of what I'm about to tell you."

"We are police officers, we are not afraid."

The policeman sitting in front of him patted his chest.

"Come on, tell me slowly."

Another policeman handed He Jiaoyang a disposable paper cup filled with water.

"I just saw a ghost."

He Jiaoyang said very seriously.

Upon hearing He Jiaoyang's words, both police officers couldn't help but sit up straight, their expressions shifting as they leaned closer to ask.

"Which ghost are you talking about?"

"It's not any particular person, it's the ghost that comes out after someone dies!"

He Jiaoyang raised his voice slightly.

"You guys know Lu Ban, right? He's that director. He might be raising ghosts and using them to make movies. His house must be full of ghosts!"

Upon hearing He Jiaoyang's words, the two police officers exchanged a glance.

Then one of them covered his mouth and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"...What are you laughing at?"

He Jiaoyang asked somewhat displeasedly. He knew that what he said sounded like something a madman from a mental hospital would say, but no matter what, these two policemen shouldn't be laughing.

"I remembered something happy."

The policeman gave a reply.

"I'll say it again, I'm not joking!"

He Jiaoyang tapped on the table.

"Alright, let's get back to the point. Was that ghost you were talking about pretty?"

a police officer asked.

"It's not a matter of whether she's pretty or not, she's really the kind of person who's very rare... black hair, fair skin, wearing simple clothes, and quite cute... please stop laughing."

He Jiaoyang called out to the two policemen who were trying to suppress their laughter.

"I thought of something happy."

"Don't think about anything happy. You've been laughing the whole time, you haven't stopped at all!"

He Jiaoyang couldn't help but exclaim, "He was clearly talking about something very important, so why don't these people believe him?"

Even if the ghost is ridiculous, at least listen to what I'm saying properly, right?

"Rest assured, we have undergone rigorous training. No matter how funny it is, we will not laugh unless we can't help it."

"How about this, you leave your contact information here, we'll go back and handle it, and we'll let you know as soon as there's any progress."

The two police officers spoke, one in front of the other.

"Okay, you'd better dispatch the police immediately, during the day, and whatever you do, don't go at night!"

He Jiaoyang stood up and left the police station. As soon as he stepped out, he heard a burst of laughter. He turned his head and looked inside.

The two police officers sat upright, seemingly organizing their statements.

He turned around and immediately found the nearest internet cafe to log into QQ.

【The Ominous Star of Silverwing】: I came back alive from Lu Ban's company. There really is a ghost there, and it's a female ghost! Holy crap, I almost died there. Luckily, my professional skills are excellent, so I escaped. I suspect that there are even more ghosts in Lu Ban's house. This guy makes money by raising ghosts. He's really ruthless.

[World-Destroying Dragon King]: Holy crap, this is so exciting?

【Immortal Saint】: No picture, no truth, bro. If that's the case, I can post a hundred different ones in a minute without repeating any. Where's the female ghost?

[Observer of the Worldline]: Wait a minute, if Lu Ban really can control ghosts, then instead of using them to harm people, he'll make movies for everyone to watch. Wouldn't that be promoting the re-employment of ghosts after they've been laid off? That's a good thing!

【Dark Heart】: You're such a clever little devil!

【Silver Wing's Ominous Star】: Damn, you guys are just like those cops, you don't believe anything at all!

He Jiaoyang discovered that these people, who seemed to be studying the occult, were actually all just paying lip service to it; when faced with real occult events, they didn't believe in them at all!

After eating takeout and drinking an ice-cold Coke to calm down, He Jiaoyang realized that he had indeed done something inappropriate. Without photos or videos, he had just made people believe in this supernatural phenomenon with mere words. The people in front of him weren't gold-chained coal mine owners with gold watches; normal people certainly wouldn't believe it!

You must take some evidence yourself.

At this moment, He Jiaoyang had already seen himself as an exorcist and a messenger of justice, acting to expose Lu Ban.

After studying it for a while, he immediately decided to take advantage of the night to go to Lu Ban's neighborhood to find material, and if possible, get closer to Lu Ban to take pictures.

evening.

He Jiaoyang, carrying a peach wood sword, talismans in his pocket, a cross around his neck, and having eaten a few extra cloves of garlic, arrived at Lu Ban's neighborhood.

Normally, celebrities and famous directors live in high-end residential areas, such as luxury neighborhoods, where the property prices are in the hundreds of millions, with river-view apartments or luxury villas. It is rare to see someone like Lu Ban living in an ordinary residential area and sometimes being photographed going downstairs to buy groceries or have late-night snacks.

He Jiaoyang also found it strange. Given Lu Ban's status, the houses in this neighborhood should be booked by paparazzi every minute. How could he live so peacefully?

As he walked through the neighborhood, watching the residents walking their dogs and children, he began to worry about their safety.

Ghosts are all heavy with yin energy and may even absorb yang energy. Lu Ban's large-scale use of ghosts in filming will definitely harm other people!

He Jiaoyang's sense of justice grew stronger.

He found his way to Lu Ban's building, looked at the electronic lock, and decided to pretend to look around at the scenery, then secretly follow others upstairs.

Coincidentally, He Jiaoyang soon saw a man wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and slippers walking towards the building in the night. He was carrying some lunch boxes and cups containing snacks such as barbecue and milk tea.

He Jiaoyang turned his face away, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the other person had swiped the door of Lu Ban's building, so he immediately followed and entered the elevator after the person.

Once inside the elevator, He Jiaoyang didn't dare face the other person directly, only turning his back to look at the elevator buttons.

He Jiaoyang looked at the man through the stainless steel mirror.

He was startled when he saw it.

Because the man holding the fragrant barbecue was Lu Ban himself!

At the same time, He Jiaoyang also noticed that around Lu Ban, on his shoulders, at his feet, and above his head, there was a thick and deep black mist, much thicker than the one around the reception desk during the day!

As the elevator began to move toward the floor where Lu Ban lived, He Jiaoyang felt his whole body tense up.

Which floor are you on?

Behind him, Lu Ban asked.

Chapter 529 The Exorcist

He Jiaoyang shuddered involuntarily. After thinking for a moment, he pressed the button for the floor a few floors above Lu Ban's.

Nowadays, people don't even know who their neighbors are, let alone who lives upstairs.

Just as He Jiaoyang was pondering what to do if Lu Ban was at home, a voice suddenly rang out in the elevator, which was so quiet that only the faint sound of advertisements could be heard.

"Newly moved in?"

Lu Ban asked.

This person is incredibly socially adept. In a world where everyone is socially anxious, how can someone still strike up a conversation with a stranger?

He Jiaoyang glanced at Lu Ban through the mirror's reflection. Lu Ban's free hand was scrolling through his phone, seemingly not paying attention to him. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
