After something was said on the phone, Master Qiang's expression changed slightly.

After a while, the phone call ended, and he walked to the side, remaining silent.

"What's going on?" the host asked curiously. "Master Qiang, what did they say over there? Can you share it with us?"

The powerful master said, "It foreshadowed the manner of my death, and also..."

He seemed to be struggling with whether or not to speak, and just then, the phone rang again!

This time, Cai Wenhua answered the phone. After he finished the call, he silently walked to the other side.

A moment later, he suddenly looked up at Cheng Jingru and said, "Junior Sister, the next call is for you to answer."

He had barely finished speaking when the phone rang.

Cheng Jingru hesitated for a moment, picked up the microphone, and was about to press the speakerphone button when Cai Wenhua was startled and stood up, saying nervously, "Don't press speakerphone!"

Just then, a voice came through the microphone.

The voice was eerie and ethereal, yet its words sent chills down Cheng Jingru's spine, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She listened quietly without pressing speakerphone, and Cai Wenhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sat down again.

Cheng Jingru pursed her lips, unable to resist gripping the microphone and pressing, "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose? You..."

"Beep beep beep," the call has ended.

Cheng Jingru silently walked to the side and sat down as well.

The atmosphere at the scene was strange. Those who answered the phone remained silent, while those who did not were completely confused and even more wary of the call.

Luo Wenxin raised her folding fan to cover the lower half of her face, leaned closer to Ming Zhuo, and whispered, "Advisor Ruan, what do you think?"

Instead of answering, Mingzhuo asked, "Have you noticed that people who answer the phone deliberately avoid other people, as if they are on guard against something?"

"Really?" Luo Wenxin looked up. "It seems to be true. But why is that?"

He closed his folding fan and gently tapped his palm.

Mingzhuo said indifferently, "Who cares why? Just stab him with your sword and be done with it."

Luo Wenxin glanced at the peach wood sword in Mingzhuo's hand and felt a great sense of security. "Advisor Ruan, you must protect me!"

"Professor Luo, your call is coming up next," Liao Hongxia suddenly called out after finishing the call.

Luo Wenxin perked up: "I'll go check the situation first, and I'll share the information with you when I get back."

Most people answer the phone quietly or appear frightened, but Luo Wenxin hadn't even listened to a few words before she launched into a barrage of questions.

"Is everything you're saying true? You're not lying to me, are you? Phone scams are rampant these days. I'm a university professor, after all. It would be so embarrassing if I got scammed, you know? People would doubt my intelligence! Even though I studied an obscure major, I truly earned my master's and doctoral degrees based on my intelligence..."

It seemed that the other side was enraged, and wisps of black energy spread out, to the point that they were visible to the naked eye.

Liao Hongxia exclaimed in horror, "Such powerful energy...it's angry!"

Luo Wenxin's voice suddenly stopped. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, go ahead and say it."

But before they could exchange more than a few words, his talkative nature kicked in again, "Can you show me your true form? Oh dear, I'm just having an occupational hazard. Are you really that powerful? Consultant Ruan said he could stab you to death with one sword..."

Suddenly, the black mist transformed into two hands, reaching for Luo Wenxin's neck.

Mingzhuo quickly stepped forward and pulled Luo Wenxin behind him.

A string of Buddhist prayer beads and a sword simultaneously attacked the black mist, but were both repelled.

The black mist emitted a strange and eerie laugh, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine, as if it were trying to evoke the deepest nightmares in one's heart.

Those present were all experts in dealing with paranormal events, and they immediately realized something was wrong and began to resist.

The ordinary people were in trouble; their expressions suddenly became dazed, and the straight-haired girl's eyes became dull as she unconsciously walked towards the window.

Mingzhuo frowned impatiently: "It's so noisy, the call isn't over yet, what are you laughing at?"

The strange laughter stopped abruptly, just as the straight-haired girl happened to stop by the window.

Master Yuanhui chanted a Buddhist mantra, realizing something was wrong, and quickly began chanting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra while holding his prayer beads.

The solemn incantation finally dispelled some of the effects, and the shark clip pulled the straight-haired girl back. The two huddled together, shivering.

The others also turned pale. They were so focused on resisting the eerie laughter that they didn't even notice the straight-haired girl's unusual behavior.

At this moment, only Mingzhuo remained calm: "I haven't answered the phone yet, hurry up and call."

The laughter stopped, and the black mist seemed to freeze as well.

Mingzhuo raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean? Are you discriminating against me? Everyone else answered the phone, but I didn't!"

The phone still didn't ring.

Mingzhuo thought to herself, "That's pretty good. The discrimination is so obvious. Do you think I'm that easy to bully?"

She stepped forward and reached out to grab the wisp of black energy.

"Don't grab it!" Liao Hongxia cried out in terror. "That thing will corrode our spiritual power, you'll die!"

She had a keen sense of filth and evil. Even though the black energy did nothing, it made her feel very uncomfortable, and her face turned as pale as if she had been seriously ill.

Meanwhile, viewers of the live stream also felt very uncomfortable.

I feel very uncomfortable whenever I stare at that phone; my mind goes completely blank.

Me too, I feel chills all over my body, and I'm terrified from the bottom of my heart.

This phone call is too eerie; you really shouldn't watch it!

[Is this really going to result in someone dying? It's terrifying, I can't bear to watch.]
