16 Chapter 16 (Two in One
◎ Her parents had been to her orphanage!◎
The camera moves forward, passing over the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground.
Cang Cang took out a flashlight from his pocket, forming a beam of light to illuminate the dim corner of the building.
The furniture in the room was old and broken, lying all over the floor. Thick dust covered it like a white cloth. Cang Cang pushed open the chair across the doorway, and the dust immediately flew up, choking her and making her cough a few times.
"Have you seen her before?" Qianyang asked.
When a person dies and becomes a ghost, he or she will forget everything in his or her life, and only the memories that are very important to him or her will leave some traces.
It was probably no coincidence that she left Cang Cang's home and came to the orphanage.
Then, it was probably not a coincidence that she chose to follow Cang Cang in the beginning.
Cang Cang said confusedly: "I don't remember..."
[Could the ghost girl be a child from this orphanage? ]
It's possible.
【Perhaps she knew Cang Cang when she was alive.】
[…I’m convinced. I know this orphanage.]
[A few years ago, the orphanage that was exposed for child abuse was on the news. I was like, why does it look so familiar?]
[What the hell? Cang Cang and Gui Meime are both children from this orphanage!]
Cang Cang said, "I remember there were a lot of children in the orphanage. They all had a hard time. Some of the adopted children were often sent back with injuries all over their bodies."
"But I don't remember if she is here too."
Qian Yang said, "Perhaps she had an accident and ended up in an orphanage. Her parents have been looking for her."
Cang Cang smiled and said, "Then she must miss her biological parents too."
"yes."
Cang Cang walked through the house and came to a desolate courtyard.
The night wind blew up the dust on the ground, and in an instant, it suddenly turned into a strong gale, blowing through the holes in the doors and windows, making sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
[So scary…]
It would be a shame not to film a horror movie here.
"Master... there are no other ghosts here, right?" Cang Cang lowered his voice unconsciously.
Qianyang didn't answer immediately.
Her eyes lingered on several places on the screen. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "...No."
gray:"……"
【……】
Ahhhhhh!
【Why hesitate! 】
[No! There are no other ghosts!]
[There must be none! ]
Qian Yang said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. There aren't that many ghosts in the world."
Cang Cang heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Although she is not afraid of the ghost sister, it does not mean that she is not afraid of other ghosts.
Cang Cang came to the door of a house and shone the flashlight on the ground. In the dust, he saw a clear footprint, as if someone had passed by not long ago.
But, there was only one footprint.
【Grass……】
【Goosebumps appear.】
【Ahhhh, I'm so scared! 】
[Anchor, protect me! ]
[Wow, I really hope this is just an ordinary live broadcast.]
"Master, is she in there?" Cang Cang asked.
Qianyang nodded, "Inside."
Qian Yang put away the Heaven-Questioning Plate and said, "This place is very yin-filled. Considering your physical condition, I have a way to help you sense her. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Cang Cang said without hesitation: "I do."
"good."
Qian Yang took the phone, placed it on the stand, and then called out to Yang Mao, "Apprentice, come here and learn together."
Qianyang really doesn't want to waste any time.
Yang Mao had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to resist and just said "Oh" listlessly.
Qian Yang then told the audience in the live broadcast room, "This is a relatively simple method of seeing ghosts. Choose the right time and place, and even people with weaker yang energy can sense ghosts. There's no need for the hassle of psychic communication."
【Ahhhh I don’t want to hear it! 】
[Anchor, you... forget it, just learn whatever you can find.]
[Hahaha, isn't it a bad idea for a criminal investigation student like me to learn this?]
[…I’m still on duty at the morgue alone!]
[That's great! Being on duty alone is so boring. I can learn from the anchor and have some company.]
…
[Just kidding, that find-the-object technique from before was completely useless.]
【yes. 】
【Feudal superstition.】
[Shenjin, didn't the host say that not everyone can learn it?]
【Why would someone who doesn't believe in metaphysics click here? 】
The barrage started quarreling again after a disagreement, and Qianyang was no longer surprised.
Qian Yang said: "Interested viewers please pay attention to my gestures. I will try to be slow."
Cang Cang said: "I'm ready."
"good."
Qianyang formed seals with his hands, pressed his thumbs together on his forehead, and then slid them to the sides, pressing against the solar plexus.
She then put her hands together in front of her chest and made a complicated gesture. A faint wave of air appeared around her and disappeared in an instant.
After completing a set of movements, Qianyang exhaled a breath of foul air, "Alright."
"This is called opening the Yin Eye."
What the hell?
【can't read. 】
【Won’t the anchor be embarrassed? 】
[What's with the no-spell thing? That's how it's played in the movies.]
"Spell? ...Open! Is that okay?"
【The gesture is like a smile.】
[The anchor's script is so obvious, I'm gone.]
[I suspect the little black cat is also a script.]
[Xuan Qing gave the anchor a durian reward]
[Zhenzhendaozha is so long, give the anchor a durian]
[The second person from Xuanmen gave the anchor a fruit stall as a reward]
【Thank you fellow Taoists! 】
[This is my first time learning such a simple way to open the Yin Eye.]
[Your fellow Daoist is truly amazing.]
"Ahhh, why didn't my master teach me such a simple way to open my Yin Eye? I have to prepare so many things every time I communicate with spirits!"
Qian Yang said: "This kind of opening of the Yin Eye needs to be performed in a special place. Haven't you fellow Daoists learned it? I will teach you more Xuanmen techniques in the future. By the way, fellow Daoists from the Little Moon Platform, remember to pay the tuition."
"Fuck!"
At this moment, Cang Cang suddenly exclaimed.
Qianyang asked, "How do you feel?"
Cang Cang was shocked and said, "I, I seem to feel something. Is she at my feet?"
As he spoke, Cang Cang pointed the camera at the ground.
"It seems like there is something lying on my feet." Cang Cang said.
Qian Yang said casually: "That's not her."
Cang Cang said "Oh", and suddenly felt something was wrong.
【???】
【Grass! ! ! 】
[There are indeed other ghosts here! ]
[Ahhh! Help! I need to turn off the live stream! !]
[Wow, I want to cry, but I feel so powerless.]
[The host is so ruthless! ]
…
[…Damn it, I think I saw a shadow.]
【Me too. 】
[(Trembling) I saw it too.]
[Is it at Cang Cang's feet, like a puppy? ]
【right! 】
[Ahhhh! Oh my god! It really exists!]
[What the hell?]
【Really?】
[Did so many people see this? ? ]
【I can’t see anything! 】
Qian Yang stared at the screen for a few seconds and said, "This is normal. Audiences whose physical energy has been low recently will be able to see it after opening their Yin Eyes."
"This group of viewers has been studying the Heart Sutra every morning for the past week, which helps restore their energy."
[Shocked...it turns out ghosts really do exist.]
【Seeing it with my own eyes for the first time! 】
[I have been unlucky lately, thank you Master! ]
[Ahhh, I admit it! I admit it! The only true god in the metaphysics live broadcast area.]
[Oh my god, this is the first time I learned something real from a metaphysics host! ]
"Master...can I continue to move forward?" Cang Cang asked tremblingly.
Qian Yang said: "Yes, it has no malicious intent."
"good……"
Cang Cang carefully walked around the puppy-like shadow on the ground and walked inside with a flashlight.
There was no light in the room, and it was pitch dark.
Cang Cang held up the flashlight and swept across the dusty ground. Her footsteps echoed in the empty room.
"Sister?" Cang Cang called tentatively.
The ghost girl no longer remembers anything from her life, and naturally she doesn't remember her own name. I don't know if I will get a response if I call her like this.
The toy room is very spacious, empty and has nothing in it.
Cang Cang walked in step by step, and his courage gradually grew.
The flashlight beam swept across the corner and found nothing unusual.
[Wait! I think I saw it!]
[Left, left!]
Qian Yang said: "Cang Cang, please shine it to the left."
"good."
The flashlight and lens moved to the left together and came to the bottom of a wall.
Qian Yang said, "She's standing by the wall. Did you see her?"
Cang Cang's breathing stagnated, "...I seem to have seen it."
I see it! I see it!
[Oh my god! I really saw it!]
[Like a shadow, standing by the wall! ]
[Oh my god! The host didn't lie, she really could see it with her own eyes!]
[I never believed this before. Damn it! My worldview is about to be turned upside down.]
[As the saying goes, the end of science is metaphysics, and it is indeed true! ]
…
[Can you really see it? You're not a shill, are you?]
[I've been pretty unlucky lately, how come I can't see it? ]
[The anchor arranged so many people to help him, isn't he afraid of backlash? ]
Although some viewers in the live broadcast room opened their Yin eyes, most of the rest of the viewers could not see anything.
This part of the audience is not within Qianyang's teaching scope.
"What does it look like?" Qianyang asked.
Cang Cang was stunned and said, "I can only see a blurry shadow with her back to me. She looks exactly like the one I dreamed of last night..."
"Try calling her."
"...Sister?" Cang Cang called tentatively.
Yang Mao leaned in front of the screen and looked carefully at the wall. There was a shadow standing there. After hearing the sound, the shadow moved slightly and slowly turned around.
"Master, she heard it!" Yang Mao said excitedly.
[Ahhh! It really moved!]
【The host is awesome! 】
Cang Cang couldn't help but take a step forward, and the position of the shadow's face began to move a little.
Cang Cang's breathing became rapid, "I heard it! She's talking!"
"Go home... go home..."
"Mom and Dad...are still waiting...come home..."
Cang Cang murmured a few words.
[Huh? Did you say anything?]
【I can see, but I can't hear.】
【Me too. 】
"Go home... go home..." Cang Cang's voice became choked, "Master, she wants to go home!"
"She has a home!" Cang Cang's voice was filled with excitement.
【Woo woo woo.】
[Ghost sister is not a wandering ghost. She wants to go home. Mom and Dad are waiting for her at home!]
She must have had a very hard life.
[I don’t know why, but I feel a little sorry for Cang Cang.]
[Me too... She's an orphan, abused as a child, and escaped on her own. She lives in a 300 yuan house and eats instant noodles for a dollar. She has no family, no home, yet she's happy for a ghost who has a home.]
【I really want to cry.】
Yang Mao saw the shadow turn around again and look at the wall.
Then, Qianyang said, "Cangcang, go take a look at that wall."
"good!"
Cang Cang was no longer afraid. He took two steps at a time and walked to the wall. "There's something on the wall!"
"Take a look."
The wall was covered with thick dust. Cang Cang stretched out his calloused hand, wiped away the dust, revealing a photo.
Cang Cang said: "This is a photo of the orphanage before."
The audience in the live broadcast room also saw the photo clearly.
That was a photo taken before the orphanage was abandoned. There were only buildings, no people.
By the end of the live broadcast that day, the number of viewers had reached nearly 100,000.
"Master, we have received 120,000 in tips today!" Yang Mao was so happy when he saw the amount of tips in the background that he couldn't stop smiling.
"One hundred and twenty thousand..."
Qianyang actually had no idea how much money there was at the foot of the mountain. Before this, he had been calculating based on the 25 yuan portion of a Big Mac hand-pulled pancake. With 120,000 yuan in tips a day, he had no idea how many hand-pulled pancakes he could buy.
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, Qianyang started the live broadcast on time.
The audience who had been waiting in the live broadcast room early suddenly appeared.
【Good morning! Good morning!】
[After breakfast, I listened to the Heart Sutra and watched the live broadcast.]
[Wow! Qingning Live has made it into the top ten most downloaded apps in seven days!]
[The anchor is awesome! All the traffic is driven by the anchor.]
[The Qingning official should really give the anchor a kowtow. ]
【Second.】
…
Administrator 9958: [Thank you, Master Qianyang (kneeling)!!]
During this period, Qianyang has been in the spotlight on the Internet, and some netizens followed the clues and came to the Qingning Live APP.
After the number of viewers in Qianyang’s live broadcast room almost exceeded 100,000 yesterday, the number of viewers in other anchors’ live broadcast rooms on the same platform also increased significantly, and the download volume and users of the Qingning platform were unprecedentedly active.
[That's it?]
[That's it? ?]
[Your boss's mouth has been broken from laughing these past two days, right?]
[Signing the anchor for five million is not a loss at all! ]
[I have brought so much traffic to your platform, but I don’t appreciate it at all.]
Administrator 9958: [Yes, yes, yes!]
Immediately afterwards, the administrator swiped a large number of gifts, almost filling the entire screen.
[That's more like it.]
[Thinking back to when the anchor asked for a 500,000 yuan signing fee, and other platforms refused, are you regretting it now?]
[In the past two days, many metaphysics fans have switched to Qingning, and even the live broadcast traffic of Qingsi, the top anchor on the neighboring platform, has dropped.]
[Hahaha, I just want to laugh when I talk about this. Qingsi fans, come out and take a walk? You were mocking our Qianyang Huhu anchor a few days ago, come out and take a walk?]
[It feels so good to train new anchors! ]
[Correction: It's so cool to cultivate a capable new anchor. ]
[I really want to know what other platform bosses are thinking now (chin on hand)]
…
When the show just started, the live broadcast room was as busy as a morning vegetable market.
Before Cang Cang came online, Qian Yang simply taught them some skills that were beneficial to the body, and everyone studied quite seriously.
Soon, Cang Cang entered the live broadcast room and Qian Yang invited her to connect.
"Master." Cang Cang moved a chair and sat in the sun, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Qian Yang greeted, "What did you dream about last night?"
Cang Cang put his hand to his forehead, blocking the sunlight from above, casting a shadow on his face. He sighed and said, "I dreamed that my ghost sister was lying on a hospital bed."
"He looked very unwell, with many tubes inserted into his body."
Cang Cang said: "Did I guess wrong? She might have died of illness."
Qian Yang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid even she herself doesn't know the specific situation."
"Alas." Cang Cang sighed, "Then what can we do to find her biological parents and send her home?"
Qian Yang said: "If she didn't appear in your dream, you'll have to find her yourself."
Even though Qianyang was praised by his master as a genius rarely seen in a century, he could not solve all problems.
She couldn't tell fortunes for ghosts. Moreover, after a living person died, all connections with the world would be cut off and all memories would be lost, so she couldn't tell fortunes either.
[Is there nothing the host can do? ]
[After all, the ghost sister herself doesn't know where her biological parents are. ]
What should I do then?
[If you don't let the ghost sister reincarnate quickly, Cang Cang's luck will get worse and worse. ]
Qian Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Since she was able to go to the orphanage unconsciously, it must have left a deep impression on her and become a part of her obsession. We should be able to find clues in the orphanage."
Cang Cang said: "But, the orphanage has been abandoned for so many years, even if there are any clues, they are probably gone."
[Can I be a live streamer? ]
[Several other metaphysical anchors on other platforms are also looking into this matter. They say the ghost girl does exist and was not yet an adult before she died.]
[If the anchor is not good enough, Cangcang, go to other platforms and see if there are a few anchors who are willing to help you unconditionally.]
[If you don't send the ghost girl away soon, it will be bad for your health.]
【Sir, don't waste your time.】
…
Yang Mao watched from the side with gritted teeth.
What? What were those streamers doing before? Why weren't they willing to help for free before?
Now that the matter has fermented and attracted the attention of a large number of netizens, these people have popped up like mushrooms after a rain, wanting to get a piece of the pie and take in this huge amount of traffic. How can it be so good?
Qian Yang didn't care much and said, "If fellow Daoist is willing to help, I naturally won't refuse. But, since they are so enthusiastic, it doesn't matter where they contribute, so why do they need Cang Cang to enter their live broadcast room?"
[That’s right! ]
[It's so funny. I didn't see them come out before, but now that the story about Cang Cang and the ghost sister has gone viral, they all started kissing.]
[Since you are so enthusiastic, does it matter whether Cang Cang goes to your live broadcast room or not? ]
[I ordered.]
【Can I just say I want to get some traffic? 】
Qian Yang continued, "No matter which live broadcast room Cang Cang is in, as long as you can find the ghost sister's biological parents before me, your ability is obvious to all, and naturally there will be believers supporting your live broadcast."
【right! 】
【Don't bother with those nonsense things. 】
[Whoever can first find the ghost sister's biological parents will be the number one true god in the metaphysics live broadcast area! ]
【Roll it up, roll it up! 】
Yang Mao snorted coldly, "I hope you are not a bunch of hindsight."
Qian Yang said: "Of course, Cang Cang, it's up to you whether to go or stay."
[Pattern! This is the master's pattern! ]
[Those screen-peekers should learn from this!]
[I can't compare them in terms of ability, nor in terms of spirit.]
【The anchor deserves to be famous! 】
…
Cang Cang smiled flattered and said, "Master, this is the first time I have a choice."
Qian Yang said: "We don't have a contractual relationship. You can choose someone else at any time."
Cang Cang shook his head and said, "Master, I believe in you. I only believe in you."
"Then I will definitely not let you down." Qianyang smiled.
Qianyang didn't continue to pay attention to the barrage.
Qianyang asked Cangcang to ride his bike directly to the orphanage, and asked Yang Mao to check the Internet for any relevant information.
At the same time, during this period, what Qianyang said in the live broadcast room had been spread.
Recently, the internet has been flooded with live broadcasts about her, and naturally, metaphysics anchors from other platforms also want to get a piece of the pie. A phenomenon has inexplicably formed. When you click into the metaphysics live broadcast room on any platform that day, all the anchors are studying the story of Cang Cang and the ghost sister.
As a result, it attracted more and more attention, and almost everyone in the metaphysics circle was paying attention to this matter.
Whoever can find the ghost girl’s biological parents first will become the undisputed number one in the metaphysics live broadcast area.
Oh my god…
[All the metaphysics anchors I follow are researching the ghost sister thing.]
Some streamers have already consulted ghosts live.
[…No, why does it feel like the world of science has turned into the world of metaphysics overnight?]
[The person in front of me, is this your first time in the metaphysical world? Actually, that's quite normal.]
[Before yesterday, I was still a staunch materialist, but now I've learned to open my yin eyes like the anchor... Haha, what the hell.]
…
The discussion in the barrage was lively. Qian Yang hadn't noticed for a few minutes that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had actually risen to 60,000, and was still growing at a visible rate. It was bound to exceed 100,000 views today.
Yang Mao raised his head from the computer and sighed, "Master, there's no information online about the one-year-old girl who went missing more than a decade ago."
Qian Yang pondered for a moment and said, "She's too young to even walk properly. It's unlikely that she got lost on her own... Maybe someone took her away?"
Yang Mao agreed, "It's possible. Besides, more than a decade ago, many of the older generation favored sons over daughters. Maybe they hid the ghost sister's parents and abandoned her in an orphanage?"
"It's not impossible."
During the conversation, Cang Cang had already returned to the abandoned orphanage.
"Master, I remember there's an archive room here. If I'm lucky, I might be able to find some clues." At this point, Cang Cang laughed dryly, "But, I don't remember where it is."
Qian Yang said: "Do as I say."
"Ah? Okay..."
"Through the corridor."
"oh……"
"Go upstairs."
"good."
"The second room at the end of the corridor."
Cang Cang grabbed the dusty door handle, turned it gently, and the door opened.
"Archives?" Cang Cang was surprised. "Master, how do you know this is the archives?"
Qian Yang said: "The old man next to you told me."
gray:"……"
【???】
【Ahhhh, host, I'm going to fight you! 】
[Don't tell me there's a ghost here so casually! ]
I'm convinced!
【Wow, wow, you timid little alien are in so much pain. 】
[It's okay, it's okay. The sun is shining brightly now. Don't be afraid.]
Qian Yang said: "He seems to still remember you."
Cang Cang shuddered, "Master...don't say anymore."
"oh."
This archive room is not very big, with several rows of bookshelves placed in a haphazard manner and some papers scattered on the floor.
Qian Yang said, "There is a document in the second row of the third bookshelf."
Cang Cang said: "...was that old man who told you that?"
"yes."
[To be honest, the host is pretty good at seeing ghosts with his naked eyes.]
[There might be ghosts wandering around here for a long time after death who know something.]
[What's the difference between this and cheating! ]
【Do you want this hook? 】
[No, no! I don’t want to see a ghost.]
[It seems that everyone has completely accepted the host's setting of seeing ghosts with their naked eyes. ]
[This is hilarious! Is there anyone who still doubts this?]
…
It was unclear whether other people believed Qian Yang, but Cang Cang naturally believed her 100%.
Following Qianyang's instructions, she walked to the third row of bookshelves and found some old documents.
Although the paper was moldy and yellowed, most of the content was still legible.
Cang Cang read it carefully and said, "Master, this seems to be related to me."
"What?" Qianyang asked.
Cang Cang placed one of the files in front of the camera and explained, "This has a photo of me when I was five years old... They said I was dead, or that I died of illness."
Qianyang: “?”
【???】
[What the hell?!]
【Grass! ! ! ! 】
No way?! ! !
[Oh my god! Extreme reversal! ]
【Cang Cang is the ghost?!】
…
Cang Cang muttered, "Am I dead?"
"You are not dead." Qian Yang said.
Yang Mao said, "It must be that after you escaped from the orphanage, the staff were worried that the child abuse would be exposed, so they lied and said you died of illness."
"Oh... yes, it's possible." Cang Cang nodded.
【I almost thought it was a supernatural event.】
【Wake up, this is a supernatural event. 】
"There's another table here...it seems to be a record of visitors on a certain day."
Cang Cang held up another piece of paper in front of the camera. There were some names written on it, and the reason for the visit was written at the back, but there was no date, so it was unclear which day it was.
At this moment, Cang Cang vaguely felt something and his arm shook unconsciously.
"Master... I seem to feel my sister." Cang Cang said.
Qianyang looked at the screen, pursed her lips and nodded, "She said that mom and dad are on the visiting list."
【!!! ！ ！】
[What the hell?]
【Mom and Dad have ever been to an orphanage? ! !】
…
The live broadcast room suddenly became lively.
