"I think I saw that female ghost." Guo Yujie sent a message, then immediately followed it with another. "When we were searching everywhere for Lin and the others, we got a little separated. That was when I ran into a woman dressed in Republican-era clothes. I thought she was with the production crew. She wanted to stop the show from filming but didn't know what to do. So I said, 'In this situation, there's no way they can keep filming this show.'"
I couldn't help but feel exasperated.
"You didn't realize she was a ghost????" Skinny sent several question marks.
"No. She didn't seem..." Guo Yujie trailed off with a string of ellipses. "She didn't look like a ghost to me. I didn't notice at all. Maybe I was too busy looking for people."
Skinny sent several more vomiting-blood emojis.
I had no choice but to describe the female ghost's appearance and clothes.
Guo Yujie confirmed, "That was definitely her."
"So the female ghost might not be dead?" Chen Xiao Qiu asked.
I rubbed my temples. "Get in touch with your uncle. Have him bring this up through Master Xuanqing and get the show canceled."
All these television and film productions had to be approved by the Ministry of Culture. If the higher-ups decided to block it, Love Has Conquered the City would never be filmed. No production company would spend money and time on a show like that.
That was the quickest and most effective solution.
If someone wanted to deal with the female ghost for good, they could also use the show to draw her out and help her pass on.
My abilities weren't suited to handling this. The female ghost wasn't evil. She hadn't even taken anyone's life; she had only harassed the production crew.
