Yuan Muyang acted as if he hadn't seen anything and handed the manuscript out for them to circulate.

The thick stack of manuscripts was divided into ten booklets. Bai Ningning pulled them all in front of her and read them in order, with no intention of sharing them with others.

The other freshmen fell silent. They didn't want to have anything to do with Bai Ningning.

And judging from Yuan Muyang's attitude, he doesn't like Bai Ningning either - at least that's what the freshmen think.

Only Zhuo Yang still smiled: "Can you give me one?"

Bai Ningning: "Whatever you want."

Only in this corner was the atmosphere harmonious; everywhere else was so awkward that it was suffocating.

Fang Kuida was very angry, but because Yuan Muyang was present, he couldn't get angry at Bai Ningning.

Bai Ningning was flipping through the information as if nothing had happened, and she noticed that the barrage had disappeared for a while.

She was so tired from flipping through the documents that she still couldn't make out much useful content. She introduced their company, whose main project was investment, and the branch responsible for fund management projects that had an accident. She also explained what a fund was.

Bai Ningning gradually lost her patience. This information seemed to be leading them in the direction of being framed by their peers or maliciously retaliating against investors who had lost money.

But her mind told her otherwise.

Yuan Muyang dispassionately summarized the useful information in the file: "It started with someone smearing the company logo at the entrance with green paint. The surveillance broke down at night. The company sent someone to keep watch, but they fell asleep, and when they woke up, the logo was covered in green paint again."

Bai Ningning was stunned for a moment. She was now quite sensitive to the word "green" and asked, "Does green have any special meaning for financial companies?"

"It represents losing money. In short, it has a bad connotation." Yuan Muyang took the document and flipped through a few pages, showing her the introduction to the color green. He continued, "At first, they thought it was a trolling by a competitor or some investors who had lost money, but they couldn't find out what was going on. Furthermore, employees noticed that their office belongings were relocated the next day. Now everyone's in a state of panic."

After Yuan Muyang finished his general explanation, he turned on the TV to watch the video.

Fortunately, the videos they sent were edited versions, without as much preparation as the manuscript.

Bai Ningning prepared herself mentally so that she would at least have a buffer when she saw a ghost.

Then she realized she was worrying too much.

She can't see ghosts in real life, and she still can't see ghosts when watching the video.

But she could see that in the absence of anyone and without wind, things in the office suddenly began to move. There was even a small stuffed doll floating in the air, and a book in the corner was automatically turning pages in a regular pattern, as if someone was really reading it.

The camera then switched to the door of the vice president's office. The paintbrush moved up and down in the air by itself, painting the door green as if building a wall.

After a while, the ghost finished painting the door and sneaked into the office. He found a hat from somewhere and painted it green with a green paintbrush.

Bai Ningning was silent.

Her comments seemed to have mentioned "cuckold disco", could this be what she was talking about?

Could it be that the barrage is a prophetic text?

Bai Ningning asked Yuan Muyang: "Do you know what music is playing?"

The others looked at her strangely. Zhuo Yang said, "This is a silent video. There's only the picture and no sound."

Bai Ningning calmly pointed to an A4 document in the corner that was fluttering slightly but not turning a page. She said, "It should be the wind, but there shouldn't be wind in this location. I guess it's the speakers. And the curtains are dancing rhythmically. You can observe them."

The comments said it was a ghost disco, making her think there was some dark music that she couldn't hear.

Who would have thought that this video would be without sound?

Bai Ningning calmed herself down, pointed at the screen and asked Yuan Muyang, "What can you see?"

Yuan Muyang: "It's a female ghost. We need to investigate the vice president's interpersonal relationships. She might be his mistress or his wife."

Bai Ningning picked up the document in confusion, "How come there's nothing explained in this thick stack?"

Yuan Muyang shook his head: "No, they are all describing the strange events in the company."

Bai Ningning felt that this company was wasting paper, but she also felt that they were trying to cover up something.

Yao Mao leaned back nonchalantly. "Simple, they're just some low-class brats, there's just too many of them."

His red hair was particularly eye-catching, and he looked more like a street urchin than a Taoist.

Seeing that they were not interested in the videos or the manuscripts, Yuan Muyang did not force them and said, "I will take you to find Senior Brother Zhang Qi to get the self-defense armor."

Bai Ningning was quite familiar with the task of finding Zhang Qi. She had a physique that attracted ghosts since she was a child, and was often used as bait by her senior brothers and sisters to lure ghosts to her home, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

So before every mission she went out, she would always ask Zhang Qi for some self-defense equipment.

They planned to set off again on July 1st. The 1st was a Friday, and the company was closed for the weekend, which gave them two days and three nights, giving them enough time to deal with the ghosts in the company.

Yuan Muyang explained briefly: "The location of this mission is Beiyang City. Senior Sister Lu Yu happens to be in Beiyang City as well. We will meet up with her when the time comes, and she will be in charge of leading the team."

After Yuan Muyang finished speaking, he took the freshmen to Zhang Qi's workshop.

Zhang Qi was very busy, so he asked his assistant to entertain them. He said, "Everyone can receive the freshman gift pack and visit as much as they want, but please don't touch my materials without permission. Ask my assistant for anything else."

The assistant took out the gift bag that had been prepared long ago and said, "There are some raw materials in the gift bag for freshmen. Everyone can do some simple DIY."

Bai Ningning was familiar with this place, so she entered the workshop alone and did not visit with the freshmen.

Everyone was more inclined to use materials to make weapons or armor. She had long since acknowledged the fact that she had no talent in metaphysics and was preparing to make a few small hairpins.

She and Yuan Muyang grew up together. Their master taught them the same things. Yuan Muyang could learn them quickly, but she could never understand them.

Perhaps because hairpins have nothing to do with metaphysics, she did it particularly smoothly. Following the hairpin DIY guide she had seen a few days ago, she made several simple but good-looking hairpins and embellished them with white spirit stones as decorations.

After finishing, Bai Ningning suddenly had an idea and took a cinnabar pen to draw a mini storage talisman on the hairpin - this was one of the few talismans she knew how to draw.

The storage talisman flashed with golden light and disappeared - it took effect.

She tried to fit all the other hairpins into the large pale yellow hairpin, but found that they simply wouldn't fit.

It seems that I made a mistake in drawing again.

Bai Ningning shook her head regretfully, put all the hairpins into her pocket, and was about to leave when Zhang Qi stopped her.

Zhang Qi handed her an unsharpened black knife and said, "This knife is made of special materials and can kill ghosts. Use it for self-defense."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother." Bai Ningning thanked him.

After she left, Zhang Qi checked the materials she had not used up, and after confirming that she had only used these materials to make some small gadgets that were not presentable, he continued to work.

As soon as Bai Ningning left the house, the barrage of comments appeared——

[Is Ningning going to the forbidden area? ]

She must have investigated the forbidden area long ago and is well aware of its mechanisms.

Ningning is so strong. She has been disguised for so many years without being discovered.

Bai Ningning: “?”

No matter how much nonsense the comments were, she had never been to the forbidden area, so it was impossible for her to know everything.

She decided to ignore the comments and go back to her room.

After taking two steps, the barrage disappeared immediately.

Bai Ningning felt confused. After returning to the room, she thought about it for a long time, wanting to find out the truth. She put on shoe covers, took out a large oversized jacket that she had never worn before, climbed out the window and walked along the path in the back mountain to the forbidden area.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the forbidden area, the barrage reappeared.

[Every forbidden place hides a huge secret]

[I'm so nervous. Every time after this happens, the background music becomes particularly tense. I know intellectually that I won't be discovered, but emotionally I'm still worried.]

Bai Ningning realized that these barrages only appeared during specific plot lines. Her visit to the forbidden area was the main event, so there were barrages; but returning to the room halfway was an insignificant matter, so the barrages disappeared.

The white bullets floating past are relatively normal, but the red bullet in the center is a bit strange:

[Hello everyone, I can control Ningning! If you don't believe me, just look (dog head)]

【Take three steps forward and turn left】

【Take two steps and turn right, take a big step】

Bai Ningning's intuition told her that by following its instructions, she could avoid the mechanisms in the forbidden area.

In this metaphysical world where everyone has "spiritual energy", she, an ordinary person, can sneak around at will.

Everyone is used to using spiritual energy to discern other people's movements. They rely too much on spiritual energy and often ignore her, an ordinary person whose spiritual awareness has not been awakened.

Bai Ningning followed the guidance of the barrage and entered the forbidden area unimpeded, where she saw a textbook-like soul-transforming formation - she had seen it before in a forbidden book, and was severely criticized by Yuan Xiushuo after discovering it.

The Soul-Transforming Array is a forbidden technique that sacrifices one person to benefit the entire sect. A person with strong spiritual power is trapped in the center of the array. The Soul-Transforming Array will continuously absorb the spiritual power of the center of the array and convert it into ownerless spiritual power, thus forming an artificial spiritual vein.

There was a vague black shadow at the center of the forbidden area. She couldn't see it clearly and didn't dare to get close.

If she was accidentally sucked into the center of the formation, she would never be able to escape from Qingwei Mountain in her life.

The black shadow in the center of the formation moved slightly, as if looking at her from a distance.

Bai Ningning's eyes went dark.
