Chapter 159: The Trouble with the Belly

Kong Banlian covered her mouth in shock after she finished speaking, and quickly shook her head: "No, I didn't mean to say that, I just wanted to apologize to you, I really didn't mean to say that."

However, Mo Pingtong no longer wanted to listen to her explanation. If Zhang Lili hadn't held her tightly, she might have stepped forward and smashed Kong Banlian's head.

"Ahhh! Kong Banlian, you are going too far!" Mo Pingtong screamed. The glamorous female star didn't care about her image at this time. Her hair was messy, just like a madman. It was obvious that she was very angry.

"I didn't, I really don't want to say it." Kong Banlian also realized that something was wrong. She covered her mouth and tried to shut herself up manually, but couldn't help saying, "Zhang Lili, your face is really stiff. Although there are no wrinkles, it looks like an egg with three holes poked on it."

This time Zhang Lili was defeated: "Kong Banlian, I will kill you!"

Jiang Yiqing was not sure whether Kong Banlian was not sincere or for other reasons. He had been observing carefully.

Until he found that every time Kong Banlian said something bad, she would reveal a trace of yin energy.

"Don't be angry, Ms. Kong may really not want to say those words." After Jiang Yiqing determined the reason, he immediately stopped a big fight.

When Zhang Lili’s fingers were about to grab Kong Banlian’s face, she stopped. It wasn’t that she believed Jiang Yiqing’s words, but she found that there were people next to her and she needed to pay attention to the impact.

Mo Pingtong had the same attitude. She instantly restored her noble and cold appearance. She glanced at Jiang Yiqing and sneered. She obviously didn’t believe Jiang Yiqing’s words.

They saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears what Kong Banlian said. It wasn’t what she wanted to say. Could it be that a ghost said it?

"Master Jiang!" Kong Banlian quickly hid beside Jiang Yiqing. She was stared at by Xiu Yan with a death gaze, but she pretended not to see it. She cried with tears in her eyes: "What’s wrong with me?"

"Weren’t you not abnormal before?" Jiang Yiqing frowned.

"I... a little bit, but I thought it was because I didn't get enough rest and had too much negative energy, so I didn't think much about it." Kong Banlian really didn't think much about it. People in their line of work are more or less sick. She once played a patient with split personality. After finishing filming, she was still immersed in it and felt that she had two personalities.

Although she got over it later, she still had attacks from time to time. It would be fine after controlling it for a day or two, and she didn't care much.

This is also the reason why she rarely filmed later. She is an experientialist and it is easy for her to get into the role and not get out of it. So even if she filmed, she would play a person with a relatively normal mind.

Some time ago, Wu Bing went crazy and tried to sleep all day and all night but couldn't fall asleep. Kong Banlian was mentally exhausted by his torture and had a lot of negative energy, so she started talking to herself.

It was nothing, she just liked to say bad things about others. She just thought that her old bad habits came back because of the mental torture during this period.

But she swore that she really didn't remember saying such words in the video Zhang Lili showed her. If she remembered, she would definitely realize that something was wrong.

She vaguely remembered that it was a brand event, but she only remembered that she was in a daze on the day of the brand event. She couldn't remember most of the things, and she thought it was because she didn't get enough rest.

Until just now, she found that she couldn't control herself and said some words she didn't want to say at all, and then she finally felt something was wrong. When she heard Jiang Yiqing speak, she was instantly scared.

Zhang Lili and Mo Pingtong didn't say anything, standing by with their arms folded, looking like they were waiting to see what they could say, and obviously didn't believe it.

"You are being parasitized by a stomach ghost." Jiang Yiqing had only seen records of this stomach ghost in the old man's notes before. This was the first time he had seen one, so it took him some time to confirm it.

"Stomach...stomach ghost?!" Kong Banlian covered her stomach with a pale face, her body swaying a little: "I do feel a little stomach pain recently, and I thought it was a stomach problem..."

Kong Banlian's situation basically matched. The stomach ghost would indeed enter the human stomach. Once it entered, the parasitized person could hear the stomach ghost talking. Normally,

if you suddenly hear another voice, a normal person can detect that something is wrong, but Kong Banlian's "split personality" problem often occurs, and it just happened by chance. She just thought her condition was serious.

The belly ghost likes to parasitize on people with overflowing negative energy. Once a person is in a bad mood, it will give it an opportunity to take advantage of him. Kong Banlian is also unlucky. It happened that she was tortured by Wu Bing some time ago and couldn't sleep all day. Isn't it because of overflowing negative energy?

"Master Jiang... Master Jiang, please save me, I don't want to die..." Kong Banlian was so scared that he suddenly knew there was a ghost in his stomach. His face was as white as paper and he was vomiting desperately.

Jiang Yiqing's expression was solemn, because once the belly ghost enters a person's stomach, it is very difficult to leave. It will keep torturing the parasitic person until death.

But this obviously can't be said to Kong Banlian, otherwise the other party will definitely be more desperate after hearing it. However, the belly ghost is very difficult to get rid of, but it is not impossible.

Jiang Yiqing first asked Kong Banlian to calm down to avoid her falling down and getting hurt, and then asked her to sit down.

He looked at Kong Banlian's abdomen and muttered something. Kong Banlian suddenly felt a warmth in her abdomen, and then heard Jiang Yiqing say, "Who are you? Why do you want to live in Ms. Kong's belly? Does she have any old grudges against you?"

Zhang Lili and Mo Pingtong didn't quite believe it, but seeing Jiang Yiqing's mysterious look, they were a little curious to see how he would

make up the story next. Did you think it was a TV series? A belly ghost, hahahaha…

Then, the two of them froze in silence, and a sharp female voice really came out of Kong Banlian’s abdomen: “It doesn’t matter who I am, it’s just an old grudge… hahahaha, I’ve long been fed up with her, so I came here to give her a beating, but I’m already very beautiful, I just give her a stomachache occasionally, don’t worry, I haven’t enjoyed a rich life with her yet, I won’t kill her.”

"But..." Perhaps the belly ghost sensed a hint of threat, so it began to threaten Kong Banlian: "Think it over carefully. If you're safe and sound, I won't hurt you. But if you want to get rid of me, I'll make you die before me. I'm in your stomach now, and I'll make you scared to death!"

As he spoke, as if to prove the truth of his words, Kong Banlian suddenly felt an unprecedented sharp pain in her stomach. She almost fainted from the pain, and sweat poured down her face in an instant, as if she had been pulled out of water.

Jiang Yiqing's eyes turned sharp when he saw this. He drew a talisman on the spot and stuck it on Kong Banlian's body. She heard a sharp and piercing scream from her abdomen, and then the pain in her abdomen disappeared immediately. She finally stopped shaking and collapsed on the sofa, weak and exhausted.

Zhang Lili and Mo Pingtong, who were watching the excitement, looked at each other. Their expressions also became serious, and their faces turned pale.

Kong Banlian didn't look like she was acting. Although Kong Banlian's acting skills were good, they were not so perfect.

Besides, they did hear the sounds in Kong Banlian's stomach. It couldn't be that he had suddenly learned ventriloquism, right?

So, Kong Banlian didn't really mean to say bad things about them before? Did they really misunderstand each other?

The three of them had known each other since their debut. They were close friends and had some real feelings for each other. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so angry when they were backstabbed.

Seeing Kong Banlian sweating all over, his face was frighteningly pale, and he was paralyzed on the sofa and motionless, the two of them became a little worried.

The first to walk over was Zhang Lili. She wanted to show a worried expression, but the technology on her face didn't allow it. She walked over carefully, trying to show concern in her eyes: "Banlian...are you okay?"

Kong Banlian probably didn't have the strength to speak, so she just looked up at Zhang Lili, probably to express that she was fine.

Mo Pingtong also came over. Although she didn't say anything, she still took a tissue to wipe the sweat off her face.

Kong Banlian didn't know why her nose was sore.

"Where's your damn husband! Why didn't he come out? He doesn't care about you even though you're like this!" Zhang Lili looked at Kong Banlian and said angrily.

Kong Banlian's feeling of exhaustion finally eased, and she was able to speak: "He...has had some problems recently. It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't care."

Wu Bing must have fallen asleep by now. Kong Banlian didn't want to wake him up. She finally fell asleep, so she didn't want to let that annoying guy go crazy again.

Even if Wu Bing came out to accompany her now, it would be useless and would only make her more upset.

Mo Pingtong opened her mouth and looked at Kong Banlian's expression. In the end, she didn't say "Your husband is not that good, and you still have the nerve to laugh at me." Well... let's say this after Kong Banlian gets better!

Jiang Yiqing, who was standing aside, exhaled after sticking the talisman paper, but the solemnity on his face did not ease at all.

Xiu Yan glanced at Kong Banlian and naturally understood the reason.

The belly ghost in Kong Banlian's stomach was difficult to deal with. To be honest, that thing didn't have any special abilities, but it had learned some unknown method to quietly enter the abdomen of a person.

Once it entered the abdomen, it would not come out easily, which meant that it was almost difficult to get rid of the belly ghost without harming the host it parasitized.

The belly ghost was quite weak, but now Kong Banlian's situation had to be considered.

Jiang Yiqing's talisman paper was only effective temporarily.

Is there any way... Jiang Yiqing was thinking anxiously, and someone touched his head. He turned his head to look. Xiu Yan coughed uncomfortably and moved his hand away: "Don't worry, think slowly."

Jiang Yiqing looked at his expression and couldn't help but smile. He was right. He couldn't be anxious. The more anxious he was, the more confused he would be.

Xiu Yan sighed in his heart. His human was too kind. It was obviously just a person who had nothing to do with him.

"Master Jiang, I... Is there nothing in my stomach?" Kong Banlian touched her stomach and felt that there was no other sound in her ears. The pain in her stomach almost disappeared. She looked at Jiang Yiqing with shining eyes.

Jiang Yiqing opened his mouth, thinking about how to tell her, when a weak voice came from Kong Banlian's abdomen again: "Haha..., what are you thinking? I don't think you have much ability to find this person. You want to get rid of me? No way! I tell you, from the moment I entered your stomach, we will live and die together. If I die... you will never live!"

Kong Banlian's face, which had finally regained its color, immediately became even paler. She trembled and looked down at her stomach, then looked at Jiang Yiqing: "Master Jiang, this..."

"Don't believe her words, what life and death together, she is lying to you." Jiang Yiqing's tone was relatively calm. Seeing him so calm, Kong Banlian's panic calmed down a little.

But it was impossible not to be afraid, and she clenched her fingers.

"Banlian, you won't die, will you?" Zhang Lili is worthy of being the representative of the brainless people in the entertainment industry. Looking at Kong Banlian's expression, the words came out before she had time to think. Mo Pingtong on the side wanted to reach out to cover his mouth, but it was too late.

Mo Pingtong glanced at Kong Banlian who was about to fall, and then at Zhang Lili who didn’t seem to realize that she had said anything wrong. She felt a headache and patted her forehead: “Zhang Lili, you were definitely deceived by that EQ class you signed up for before! ”

Zhang Lili was still confused: “How did you know? My, what time is it now, and you still have time to think about me being deceived!”

Mo Pingtong: “…”

“Hahaha, you’re right. If I’m in a good mood, we can coexist peacefully. But, if you insist on using this master to get rid of me, I’ll drag you to do the back support for me even if I die!” The sharp voice of the belly ghost came, which was creepy to hear.

"This master you hired can't do anything to me now. Think carefully. You can be safe if he's here, but can he follow you forever? As soon as he leaves, I will...hahaha..." The belly ghost said, and laughed again. This made Kong Banlian even more scared.

Kong Banlian trembled in fear and spoke to it carefully: "Then...then how can you leave?"

"Leave? Impossible." The belly ghost finally found a place to stay, and the other party was a star, with a very good life. How could it leave so easily? Do you really think it is a kind ghost?

"But, you can ask this master to leave immediately. I promise that I will live in peace with you. You just need to agree to some of my small requests." The belly ghost said that he was easy to satisfy, like a good ghost: "Before I died, I loved eating. You just need to eat some of my favorite food every day. How about it? Isn't it very simple?"

If it were just like this, it would be very simple. Although it is scary to know that there is a ghost in your stomach all the time, it seems better than being ripped out by this ghost.

Kong Banlian was holding his stomach and thinking, Jiang Yiqing frowned beside him: "What did it say to you?"

——Just now, the belly ghost did not speak directly, but only communicated with Kong Banlian's consciousness, so other people could not hear it.

Jiang Yiqing looked at Kong Banlian and guessed what the belly ghost said. These ghosts are best at deceiving people: "No matter what it says, don't believe it."

"But... it promised not to hurt me." Kong Banlian said carefully. The pain that made her soul tremble uncontrollably was too terrible. She would never want to experience it again.

When this fear had not disappeared, the belly ghost suddenly proposed that they live in peace under the condition that she would not suffer. Kong Banlian was really tempted.

Although she also wanted to get rid of this ghost quickly, it seemed that her life was more important.

"Stupid." Xiu Yan, who had been silent the whole time, narrowed his eyes, glanced at Kong Banlian, and then showed a wicked smile: "Do you really think that belly ghosts are kind people? They feed on human viscera, and will swallow your viscera bit by bit until you become an empty shell, and then replace you and become 'Kong Banlian'. How about it, isn't it interesting?"

Seeing that Kong Banlian was so scared that she looked like she was going to faint at any time, Jiang Yiqing gave Xiu Yan a look, signaling him to stop talking, but: "How do you know this?"

The smile on Xiu Yan's face froze: "..."

"I've been reading some related books recently, and it's recorded there." Xiu Yan coughed lightly: "I want to know more about you."

Jiang Yiqing glanced at Xiu Yan and reluctantly believed what he said. Although he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't say it, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

When Zhang Lili heard that Kong Banlian would be swallowed up and eventually become an empty shell, she was shocked and jumped far away.

Maybe she herself realized that it was not good for her to do so, and walked over awkwardly, but she glanced at Kong Banlian cautiously, stretched out her hand, and quickly retracted it. It was not that she and Kong Banlian had a plastic relationship, but she was really scared!

Mo Pingtong: "..." Help, what kind of people are those who are friends with her!

"Master Jiang, is he... is he telling the truth?" Kong Banlian was so scared that she almost cried. She trembled with fear when she thought about her internal organs being eaten bit by bit.

"Well, don't believe the belly ghost." Jiang Yiqing said, and comforted him, "I will find a way as soon as possible."

Kong Banlian nodded, still feeling a little heavy.

Seeing Kong Banlian like this again, the belly ghost immediately became anxious and said again, "I didn't lie to you. There are good and bad ghosts. I admit that there are bad ghosts who eat internal organs, but I won't do that. I am a good ghost!"

Jiang Yiqing, who learned what the belly ghost said from Kong Banlian's retelling, smiled and said, "If it is a good ghost, it will not parasitize in other people's stomachs."

"I... I was also confused for a moment. I didn't mean to do that!" The belly ghost became anxious when he heard it and hurriedly defended himself.

"Oh? Really? Then come out of her belly now and prove it." Jiang Yiqing said quietly, "Otherwise, I don't believe you are a good ghost."

"Come out if you want..." The belly ghost said halfway before realizing that he was almost trapped, and immediately said, "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not going to come out!"

"Really? I won't believe it if you don't come out." Jiang Yiqing crossed his arms and said calmly: "After all, what kind of good ghost would sneak into someone else's stomach for no reason?"

The belly ghost was defeated and fell into self-justification: "I'm not a bad ghost, I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that if I go out, what if you kill me? Yes, you must want to trick me out and kill me!"

The belly ghost was right. Now there is no way to deal with the belly ghost while ensuring Kong Banlian's safety, so they can only try their best. Unexpectedly, this belly ghost is not stupid.

But even if he really thought so, he couldn't admit it: "I won't kill good ghosts, I also have principles, but the ghost that parasitizes in other people's stomachs for no reason is definitely not a good ghost."

"No! I don't want to harm her for no reason!" The belly ghost had no idea that he had fallen into a self-proving trap. At this time, he only had one impulse, which was to prove himself!

"Oh? Does a ghost need a reason to harm people?" Jiang Yiqing said quietly: "Isn't this your nature?"

"No, I... I also promised others!" After the belly ghost finished speaking, he was unwilling to say more.

"Promised someone else?" Jiang Yiqing asked. Seeing that the belly ghost started to play dead, he had to look at Kong Banlian: "Ms. Kong, it seems that the belly ghost was instructed by someone. Have you offended anyone recently?"

Kong Banlian looked confused and shook her head. Zhang Lili beside her interrupted: "Banlian is just a good person. She is almost semi-retired now. She doesn't compete with many people. No one should hate her so much, right?"

"Not necessarily. Sometimes you don't need a reason to hurt someone." Mo Pingtong thought Zhang Lili was too naive. She might think that only when you offend someone will they come to hurt you. Little did she know that some people's malice appeared inexplicably.

Kong Banlian thought for a long time and shook his head: "I really can't think of it."

Jiang Yiqing asked the belly ghost again: "So you are being controlled by someone?"

This time the belly ghost couldn't help it, and said: "No, I just owed her a favor, so I agreed to help her once."

"How can a person be grateful to a ghost?" Jiang Yiqing deliberately said: "I think you are lying."

"No." This belly ghost was obviously very easy to be fooled, and immediately said: "That's because you don't know much. She took my body back home and gave my family a sum of money..."

The belly ghost's real name is Bao Mei. When he was alive, he was in his twenties and went to work in other places. Unexpectedly, he died in an accident. The body could not be transported back to his hometown, and it had to be cremated and burned into ashes before it could be brought back.

However, Bao Mei's hometown is located in a place where cremation after death is unlucky, so the transportation of the body has been delayed.

Bao Mei's family is a typical family that favors boys over girls. She has not been valued since she was a child. She used to be a good student, but because the family needed to help with housework, she was eventually forced to drop out of school, while her older and younger brothers who didn't like studying were able to go to school.

Later, when Bao Mei was in her teens, she went out to work. The place where she worked provided food and accommodation. She only kept a little money for herself every month and sent the rest back home.

When Bao Mei died, the Bao family came. Bao Mei was floating in the air. They thought that her family would be sad. They didn't expect that they came just to see if they could get money. After finding out that Bao Mei died accidentally, the Bao family cursed and said that Bao Mei was useless.

When they heard that the body could not be transported directly back to her hometown because the distance was too far and the hospital could not send it, and it could only be sent to the crematorium, the Bao family was unhappy.

They had a rule that if someone in the family was cremated, it would affect the family's fortune. How could they be willing to take such a risk for Bao Mei, who was not favored?

Since the body could not be transported back, they simply didn't care. Whatever happened, it was fine.

Bao Mei saw that they really didn't care, and she immediately became anxious. She wanted to go home, and she didn't want to be a lonely ghost, and she didn't want to be homeless after she died. She had really had enough of this kind of life since she was a teenager.

However, she couldn't change the Bao family's ideas when she was alive, and it was even more impossible after she died.

Until someone showed up and helped her.
