The next morning, Li Wenhe told Mingzhuo that Bian Wuyou had come looking for him.
The other party told him that this Saturday was an inauspicious day and time, and that if he chose a place with bad feng shui to commit suicide, he could instantly become a vengeful ghost and gain supreme power.
The other party even chose the location for them: an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Cloud Mist City.
Rumor has it that a murder occurred here years ago, and the feng shui gradually became abnormal. Workers often said they saw ghosts at night, causing widespread panic.
When the factory eventually went bankrupt, the area gradually became deserted and no one paid any attention to it anymore.
Li Wenhe reviewed the documents and said, "There might really be something strange about that place. Back then, many workers committed suicide by jumping off buildings, with fourteen such incidents in one year. However, because communication was not well-developed at that time, and the victims' families received compensation, the matter was left unresolved."
Mingzhuo: "That's suspicious. Those bastards never intended for us to come back alive."
Upon hearing this, He Wangyao's heart sank.
He was terrified of ghosts, but he had no choice but to go this time.
"In short, we all need to be careful and must not be careless." He Wangyao coughed lightly. "Why don't you all take a look too? Let's all reach a consensus."
He handed the two of them a survival guide for horror movies that he had compiled, which was the crystallization of the wisdom of netizens!
Mingzhuo flipped through it, somewhat surprised: "There's even a code?"
"Of course! Ghosts are very good at deceiving people. Only by using secret signals can you confirm whether the person next to you is still the same person."
Mingzhuo: "That's fine, let's write them all down."
Although I don't need it myself, these two are just ordinary people and they still need it a lot.
Having finalized the details, the three prepared to part ways.
When Mingzhuo walked out of the tea room, he saw a familiar face.
Cheng Jingru sat on the steps with her schoolbag on her back, memorizing vocabulary words. The light from the street lamp shone on the girl's profile, revealing a serene beauty that drew the attention of passersby.
She looked up when she heard the noise, and stood up abruptly the next second, her gaze falling on Mingzhuo.
Mingzhuo immediately understood; this was clearly aimed at him.
"Just say what you have to say, it's too late and my family is waiting for me to come home." Mingzhuo decided to talk to her anyway.
Cheng Jingru paused, then said softly, "Sister... Brother is in a bad state right now. The results of the last incident are in, and the school gave him a major demerit. In a fit of anger, he said he wanted to drop out of school."
“Really? That’s good,” Li Wenhe replied.
He will always despise all trash who play with other people's feelings.
Mingzhuo: "If that's all you wanted to tell me, then fine, I already know."
Seeing that Mingzhuo wanted to leave, Cheng Jingru became anxious and spread her arms to block her, "Wait! Have you entered the Xuanmen sect?"
She still can't understand why the other person suddenly changed so much.
Not only did her appearance completely overshadow her own, but her academic performance also improved by leaps and bounds, and she won first place in the Olympiad selection exam.
The school values Minh Chuo highly. The teacher in charge of the Olympiad even said that he hopes Minh Chuo can bring a gold medal back for the school.
The person who was expected to be highly anticipated was actually myself.
The key point is that no one finds it strange. If the other party hadn't used underhanded tactics, how could things have turned out this way?
She even suspected that... Cheng Jinghao's affairs might have been manipulated by the other party as well.
"Sister, Brother's personality has changed drastically lately, and even I feel like he's a stranger to me. Haven't you noticed?" Cheng Jingru stared intently into Ming Zhuo's eyes, trying to find some clue.
“Someone told me that he was cursed.”
Mingzhuo thought for a moment, "You've come to ask me to help him break the curse?"
Cheng Jingru's eyes widened: "Please?"
His tone was full of doubt and disbelief, as if to say, "Why should I ask you?"
Mingzhuo had a good attitude, thinking to herself that it was good that she wasn't begging me, since she didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
She walked away without stopping this time.
Cheng Jingru paused for two seconds before biting her tongue in annoyance. She realized that her tone had been harsh and she hadn't been able to control her emotions.
...After all, there are outsiders here, so it's inappropriate to show emotions like this.
He Wangyao stared at Cheng Jingru for two seconds, then hesitated for a moment, "You're quite different from how you are on variety shows."
Many of his fans liked Cheng Jingru, so he paid more attention to the young girl, only to find himself quite disappointed now.
He turned and left with a sigh.
Cheng Jingru blushed with shame, bit her tongue as if to say something, but then gave up.
"It's a good thing you didn't come to beg her, otherwise I was really afraid she would soften her heart and interfere in this matter." Li Wenhe walked over.
Cheng Jingru: "...What do you mean?"
Li Wenhe said calmly, "What I mean is, you'll regret it sooner or later for not asking her to help the souls of the dead sooner. Instead, you took it upon yourself to find a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost, leading to the consequences you've suffered today."
"You deserve a small share of the credit for Cheng Jinghao's performance today." He smiled and left.
This woman clearly looks down on Mingzhuo from the bottom of her heart, because she is very scheming and has always kept it well hidden.
Unfortunately, the other party was still too naive. As soon as she saw that Mingzhuo had become prettier and had better grades than her, she immediately lost her composure.
My mindset is still not quite right; I'm afraid I'll have a tough time in the future.
——
Saturday night arrived in the blink of an eye.
Mingzhuo did not do a live broadcast. Instead, he told his family that he was going to a classmate's house to play that night and might be back late, so his family didn't need to wait for him.
Therefore, she declined Nguyen Minh Duong's suggestion to soak in the hot springs and stay overnight in the mountains.
