Protection talismans are protection talismans, and a sense of security is a sense of security-never confuse the two!

" Mr. Jin! Nanshu! Brother Chu! What are you three doing here?"

Just as Jin Shi was about to say something, Jian Yuanjia's voice came from behind him.

Upon hearing that voice, Jin Shi felt a chill run down his spine and took two steps back without hesitation. He'd spent the entire morning picking up trash on the beach because of this man! When had he ever done such hard labor?!

Ji Nanshu gave Jin Shi, who was hiding behind them, a meaningful look, and asked Jian Yuanjia, " Yuanjia, how's your search for clues going?"

Jian Yuanjia actually sighed and said, "Alas, even Celestial Master Shu didn't find anything, he just said there was a lot of yin energy."

It's obvious they won't find anything. That thing isn't stupid; it wouldn't go looking for a beating from a Daoist priest. Besides, why would you let a ghost out in broad daylight? Is she stupid, or are you?

" Nanshu, have you discovered anything?"

Ji Nanshu pointed to the wardrobe and shoe rack. "A pair of shoes and a cheongsam are missing."

shoe?

Jian Yuanjia immediately realized. "Is it the same pair that appeared in Bai Nanchen's room last night?!"

Ji Nanshu shrugged and said, "That's possible."

Jian Yuanjia mischievously suggested, "Hey, Nanshu, why don't we just stop looking for her today? Maybe she'll go see Bai Nanchen and the other guy tonight?"

Ji Nanshu paused for a moment, looked Jian Yuanjia up and down, and agreed, "You're right!"

He liked Jian Yuanjia's suggestion!

After checking the cellar and the second floor, the guests gathered in the living room on the first floor.

As soon as Shu Cheng saw Ji Nanshu, he went up to him and asked, " Mr. Ji, Mr. Chu, Mr. Jin, did you find anything on the second floor?"

Ji Nanshu: "The room at the far right on the second floor has a very gloomy atmosphere, and a pair of shoes and a cheongsam are missing from inside."

As soon as he picked up his shoes, Bai Nanchen's face darkened. He angrily shouted, "That's all you found?!"

What a piece of trash! Doesn't he call himself a Daoist master? Is this all he's capable of? What if this piece of junk comes looking for him again tonight?

Peace and Fortune? Who the hell knows if that piece of junk from Ji Nanshu even works?!

Ji Nanshu knew what Bai Nanchen was thinking the moment he saw him, and crossed his arms. "So, Young Master Bai, you've discovered a major clue? Why don't you tell us so we can analyze it?"

Bai Nanchen's face stiffened, and he retorted, "Wasn't it enough that Nanyu and I were visited by ghosts yesterday to provide you with clues?!"

Not only was Ji Nanshu speechless, but even Jin Shi, the newest addition to the group, felt a sense of absurdity. This was supposed to be providing clues? It was just pure bad luck!

[Ah... I'm a bit speechless and don't know what to say. So, I'll just wish Bai Nanchen that every year is like last night, and every year feels like last night?]

[What the hell are you talking about?! Are you cursing our Nanchen brother?!]

This is the first time I've seen someone describe bad luck in such a refreshing and elegant way!

"Do I need to remind you, is the reason you were haunted by a female ghost purely because of bad luck?" Ji Nanshu sneered mercilessly. "Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear!' Are you so afraid because you've done too many wrong things in your life?"

A flicker of tension crossed Bai Nanchen's eyes as he roared, "What nonsense are you spouting?! Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation?!"

Wow, you really did something wrong!

Ji Nanshu: "Oh, you don't believe me."

Bai Nanchen was about to burst into another tirade. "You...!!!"

Before Bai Nanchen could even utter "you," Ji Nanshu had already changed the subject, saying to Shu Cheng, "It's broad daylight, she won't come out anyway. Let her rest and we'll talk about it tonight."

Shu Cheng nodded. "Yes, that's what I think too."

After deciding to do the task in the evening, the guests suddenly had some free time and even felt bored.

Jian Yuanjia suggested, "Shall we continue playing board games?!"

Jiang Yue, who had done frog jumps around the living room yesterday, waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to do frog jumps!!"

Yu Lu firmly refused. "I don't want to either!" He really can't do frog jumps!!

"Then we can change the punishment!" Jian Yuanjia continued to persuade.

Aside from singing and dancing, he's most skilled at eating, drinking, and having fun!!

"Okay!"

The final decision was made.

After dinner, Ji Xingyu quietly collected the dishes and went to the kitchen. When the guests weren't looking, he stuffed the chopsticks that Ji Nanshu had used into his overalls.

Saliva sample obtained, mission accomplished!

Shu Cheng, who entered the kitchen later, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you in such a good mood all of a sudden?"

While washing the dishes, Ji Xingyu replied, "Because... something very, very, very worth celebrating might happen soon."

Shu Cheng was completely confused, but Ji Xingyu didn't explain, and he was too embarrassed to ask further. However, seeing the other party's obviously happy expression, he instinctively felt a little sad.

"Last night..." Shu Cheng bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally prepared to apologize, "I'm sorry, I..."

Ji Xingyu interrupted Shu Cheng, saying, "Captain, you don't need to apologize. My attitude yesterday wasn't good either. So..."

"Even?"

Shu Cheng smiled and said, "We're even!"

Ji Xingyu and Shu Cheng had made up. After washing up and returning to the living room, everyone sat down, seemingly discussing how to find out the truth behind the haunted mansion.

Jian Yuanjia touched his arm. "Maybe we shouldn't split into groups tonight! It doesn't feel safe at all."

The other guests nodded frantically: Yes, yes, no grouping! It feels really insecure to only have one person who knows mystical arts!

You're asking about Safety Talisman?! No, no, no, Safety Talisman are Safety Talisman, and a sense of security is a sense of security; they absolutely cannot be confused!

So everyone followed Ji Nanshu and Shu Cheng to the cellar for the third time.

After everyone had entered the cellar, there was a loud bang, and the door slammed shut.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh--"

"Holy crap, who the hell closed this door?!"

"Waaaaah, am I not going to die here today?!"

"Help me--"

Screams and cries for help echoed throughout the room.

Director Yang in the monitoring room and the netizens watching the live stream were equally bewildered.

[Holy crap, what's going on?! Why is the screen black?!]

Did I really encounter a ghost?

[Mommy, help!!! There's a ghost!!]

[ Director Yang, are you out of your mind? If anything happens to my brother, may your whole family die!]

The guests and staff huddled together, trembling.

"Ugh, you guys are so noisy!"

A soft, seductive female voice complained.

The next second--

The guests screamed in unison, "Aaaaaaahh...

Ji Nanshu pressed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. Not only did the female ghost find them noisy, but he also found it very noisy.

Chu Mo gently grasped Ji Nanshu's hand and whispered, "Are you alright?"

Ji Nanshu shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

A few more seconds passed--

"Shut up!" Ji Nanshu snapped, unable to contain himself any longer, and the guests immediately fell silent.

Oh dear, Nanshu is so fierce!

Ji Nanshu stared at the woman in the photo frame for a few seconds, then shouted, "Come out—!"
