Relying on Physics to Exorcise Ghosts, I Became Famous on a Science Popularization Variety Show

Ji Qian thought she was having a bad day. In five years in the entertainment industry, she was still a barely known, faded starlet, with a pile of weird black gossip accusations. Recently, people e...

Chapter 1 I'm Going to Become a Monk

"I have decided to become a monk, and I hope that you will not entangle me."

The woman, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat by the window.

She held a string of brand-new sandalwood prayer beads in her left hand, and her right hand was held upright in front of her chest, with a yellow talisman between her fingers.

Her beautiful face was framed by tightly closed eyes, with only her slightly furrowed brows revealing her nervousness.

"Pah! Who are you trying to fool? I know you too well! With those hundred-plus muscle men in your favorites, if you were to become a monk, I'd be able to do a handstand and wave my arms in a flowery gesture!"

A woman's roar came from the phone in front of Ji Qian. Ji Qian squinted at the phone, but after seeing her manager Liu Xia's face turn red with rage, she quickly closed her eyes again.

'When Sister Xia gets angry, she really does resemble the hospital director...'

As Ji Qian thought this, she remained expressionless, only her prayer beads spun faster and faster in her hand.

Looking at Ji Qian, who was completely unresponsive and 'devoted to Buddhism', Liu Xia felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.

I don't know what got into that brat.

They've worked tirelessly in the entertainment industry for five years, only to accumulate some strange scandals. Now, after finally securing a star-studded variety show promoted by a platform, this girl is saying she wants to become a nun?!

Whenever Liu Xia thought about how she had been bowing and scraping to the director and investors to get this opportunity, she wished she could stuff all the Buddhist beads in Ji Qian's hand into her nostrils!

Liu Xia felt increasingly angry, but seeing the previously defiant attitude of the person opposite her, she could only suppress her raging emotions and try to persuade Ji Qian in a gentle tone:

"Qianqian, only the two of us know how much we've worked hard over the years, how much we've suffered, and how much we've endured."

Now that we've finally got a chance to turn things around, are you really going to give it up like this?

Ji Qian trembled almost imperceptibly as she listened to the grinding of Liu Xia's teeth.

Of course she was unwilling to accept it, and she would never have considered leaving the entertainment industry unless absolutely necessary.

"Sister Xia, I really can't take it anymore. I've seen more ghosts than people in the past few months. If this continues, I'll end up in a mental hospital sooner or later."

Ji Qian and Liu Xia grew up together and knew each other very well. Ji Qian had never hidden the fact that she could see ghosts from Liu Xia.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xia felt a vein throbbing on his forehead:

"No, Ji Qian, you've had the ability to see ghosts since you were little, and now you're telling me you're going to be scared into a mental illness? What were you doing twenty years ago?!"

"My eyes were sealed before, and the master who sealed my eyes passed away unexpectedly two months ago. After he left, I was able to see ghosts again, and these past two days I've even started to be able to touch them."

Sister, I really can't take it anymore, please let me go!!!

As Ji Qian spoke, her voice suddenly became choked with sobs, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, she looked quite like a pear blossom in the rain. Unfortunately, Liu Xia was sitting opposite her.

Ji Qian was a crybaby since she was a child, but she was also the fighting queen of their orphanage. Her motto was that the harder she cried, the more steadily she would strike.

Therefore, all the children who come out of their orphanage are equipped with the ability to block out tears.

"Anyway, you've already signed the contract. Even if we sold ourselves, we couldn't afford the penalty for breach of contract. You might as well just accept your fate."

I'll pick you up Saturday morning. That's all, bye!

After speaking, Liu Xia quickly hung up the phone, giving Ji Qian no chance to refute.

Ji Qian was speechless and choked with emotion. When she signed the contract, she never expected that Master Bu Chang would die suddenly because he met his old lover!

It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. The master looks kind and gentle, but I never expected him to be such a scoundrel when he was young!

He had many affairs, and in the end, he had no choice but to become a monk to escape disaster.

Even the master himself probably didn't expect that his ex-girlfriends' revenge campaign would last for more than 30 years.

Two months ago, Master Buchang went out to visit a friend, but he was attacked by a group of old ladies as soon as he left the mountain.

It's strange, really. The old ladies weren't very strong, but he ended up being scared to death. Sure enough, the scumbag got his comeuppance.

Ji Qian was filming on set when she received the message. She was playing a maid and was standing behind the second female lead, staring blankly with her eyes down. Suddenly, everything went black.

Ji Qian immediately sensed something was wrong. After the scene was filmed, she looked up and saw a woman in a white dress hanging from a beam on the roof, her long, black hair hanging straight down in front of Ji Qian's eyes.

Ji Qian's eyes immediately reddened, and she almost burst into tears on the spot.

Since then, Ji Qian has been seeing ghosts everywhere. This is the first time she has ever discovered that so many eyes are hidden in the shadows of the film set.

But at that time, Ji Qian had not yet considered retiring from the entertainment industry.

After all, she's been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could she possibly ruin everything because of something as trivial as seeing a ghost?

Besides, before she met Master Buchang, she lived for more than ten years with her ability to see ghosts, so there's no reason why she can't now!

This idea persisted until last week, when Ji Qian went to a convenience store to buy something and accidentally bumped into a man on her way out.

She instinctively wanted to turn around and apologize, but her eyes immediately fell on the other person's two dangling trouser legs.

Ji Qian felt a chill run down her spine. When she looked up along the trouser leg, she was met with an extremely eerie smiling face.

Ji Qian felt like her soul was about to fly away.

In desperation, she grabbed the shopping bag in her hand and threw it at the male ghost. After knocking him down, she wasn't satisfied and went up and kicked him in the head several times.

Only after the male ghost collapsed to the ground like a corpse did Ji Qian pick up the shopping bag and flee the scene in a panic.
