The ghost controlling the phone. "..." You bastard, who are you calling a jerk!
It jumped down from the corridor ceiling, intending to barge in and teach this human a lesson.
Bang.
Bump it.
It rebounded.
The door didn't break open, but the ghostly figure was thrown eight meters away, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.
Undeterred, it dragged its mutilated corpse over to continue its harassment.
It kept banging on the door.
Even if we can't kill the person inside, we'll still keep him awake!
Jiang Nuo, who was in the room, became interested.
He jumped up and opened the door. His pajamas were a bit thin, but he didn't look cold at all.
Leaning against the doorframe, I lazily yawned, then smiled as I watched it being stopped by the talisman, unable to get in no matter how hard it tried.
"Dude, you're so persistent!"
Jiang Nuo said admiringly, "Truly a model for the ghost realm."
Ghost: "..."
"Come out if you dare!"
Its original sound is extremely sharp, like a broken record player, piercing the ears.
Jiang Nuo picked at his ear and let out a soft "ah".
"If you want me to play with you, at least show your true face. Showing only your shadow is disrespectful to new friends."
The ghost actually listened to that.
Perhaps wanting to scare this incredibly bold human, the ghost deliberately revealed its true form in front of him.
A... no, a lump of... mud, and a human face grew out.
Jiang Nuo blinked and looked down; a drop of mud mixed with blood had landed on his shoe.
"Hehe... Hee-ee!!"
The mud was kicked away.
Jiang Nuo squinted, never opening her eyes, and withdrew her foot in disgust, throwing the shoe she had just kicked at him.
"Let's not be friends anymore. It's not suitable, it's too tacky."
He turned and left, casually giving a word of advice to the little brat huddled by the doorframe watching the show.
"Could you please turn off the light for me? Thank you!"
The kid who was about to make a move. "...?"
It's a shadow ghost! How can this human even see it?!
Even Auntie Yinghong sometimes struggles to find it!
Oh my god, humans are so scary!
A pale little hand reached into the wall and obediently turned off the light.
He also wanted to sneak in and kill someone himself.
Auntie Yinghong said that this human is very strange. If anyone kills him, they won't have to worry about anyone in the inn arresting them!
The little imp was hidden inside the wall, its movements shimmering with the moonlight, and it looked as if it was about to rush onto the bed.
Jiang Nuo raised her hand and flipped over. A flash of light appeared, and the little devil who had painstakingly climbed in was bounced out.
"Thank you for turning off the lights."
The kid heard this sentence before he was thrown away.
How annoying! Do you think you're so polite?!
The restless room finally quieted down, and I slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
--
The next day, Jiang Nuo was awakened by a clanging and banging sound.
It was also accompanied by Buddhist scriptures on rebirth in the Pure Land that resonated deeply with people.
Rebirth in the Pure Land Buddhist Scripture?
He sat up straight, hesitated for two seconds, and then confirmed that he should still be in this world.
Patting her startled heart, Jiang Nuo rubbed her eyes and got up, reaching under the bed with her right foot for a long time but not finding her shoe.
"Um?"
Jiang Nuo sat up and peered under the bed.
Who stole his slippers?
He calmly made a phone call, " Brother Cui, someone stole my shoes."
"Are you crazy? Hurry up and change your clothes and get ready for filming! Otherwise, you won't get breakfast this morning!"
Jiang Nuo exclaimed, "You're so mean! You'll never find a girlfriend in your eight lifetimes!"
" Jiang Nuo!!!"
Jiang Nuo quickly moved her phone away to avoid damaging her delicate eardrums.
When he came downstairs, he discovered that it wasn't just Buddhist scriptures for rebirth in the Pure Land; they had practically moved the entire temple into the guesthouse.
A group of plump monks sat in a circle, with a bell, presumably used for performing rituals for the deceased, and several half-person-high gilded Buddha statues in the center.
All the staff members sat in the outer circle, each holding a candle.
It looked like a cult's initiation ceremony.
Jiang Nuo found Cui Ming in the crowd, jogged over, squatted down, and found it quite interesting.
What are you doing?
"Oh, you startled me." Cui Ming had just sat down, looking somewhat bewildered. "They said it's a high-ranking monk invited by President Shao, who believes that Buddhism is more thorough in exorcising ghosts and is determined to clean this inn spotless."
" President Xu couldn't stop them; after all that effort, he only managed to save one Miss Dujuan."
Jiang Nuo suddenly realized, and looked at the fat monk in the lead with a sigh, "He's really heavyweight."
At least in Jiang Nuo's memory, no monks ever performed exorcisms in this way.
After a drowsy Buddhist chant, the leading monk struggled to his feet and clasped his hands together in prayer towards Shao Hui.
"Amitabha Buddha, the vengeful ghost has already passed away, so there is no need for you to be alarmed."
Jiang Nuo raised one eyebrow and gazed intently at the shadowy imp behind the high monk.
This person is even better at blatantly lying than him.
He yawned, not intending to get involved.
With the high monk's assurance, everyone felt relieved throughout the morning's filming, and their condition was much better than yesterday.
Of course, it wasn't all that smooth sailing.
Jiang Nuo noticed that Shao Hui looked like he was about to die yesterday, but that look didn't disappear with Du Juan's relief.
Therefore, the ghost that truly wants his life has not yet appeared.
According to what that lecherous man said yesterday, it should be some Miss Yinghong.
He had finished filming all his solo shots and was deep in thought when he saw another portrait in the lobby spontaneously combust without fire.
Moreover, the fire started burning from the eyes.
The smell of the burning canvas was extremely unpleasant, even downright foul.
This instantly attracted a lot of attention. Many staff members who had been relaxed just moments before tensed up again and skillfully hid behind Jiang Nuo.
"Don't panic, everyone. It's just a little trick!"
Having traveled the world for so many years, this high-ranking monk has seen countless such tricks. Where did this ghost come from? It must be phosphorus powder!
He charged forward, brandishing a jade bowl, shouting, "Watch me break this trick!"
"Eh..."
Jiang Nuo reached out to try to stop the man, but the high monk was still a nimble fat man who rushed straight toward the painting without pausing at all.
The outstretched hand was pulled back, and the person covered their eyes.
"What a tragedy!"
Jiang Nuo sighed and took a bite of her steamed bun.
Being a scammer is pretty dangerous these days.
As everyone's gazes grew increasingly shocked, the fat monk who rushed forward was grabbed by an arm that reached out from the painting.
The arm was pale and bloodless, with black fingertips, and it was plunged directly into the fat monk's throat.
"Well!"
The fat monk stared wide-eyed, his massive body unable to budge the thin arm an inch, his entire body swaying in the air in a very twisted and bizarre posture.
"Big brother!!"
The monks who were still seated couldn't control their expressions; each one looked more frightened than the last.
There really is a ghost!
" Jiang Nuo! Jiang Nuo, save him! Jiang Nuo!"
Shao Hui immediately realized he had been tricked and quickly called out to the person who was still nonchalantly munching on a steamed bun.
Jiang Nuo raised one hand, "Add three million, thank you."
He was still chewing on a steamed bun.
