Chapter 6: A Ghost Relationship with the Dead Bai Yueguang (VI)
After two hours of flight, the plane arrived at the destination of this recording - Bashu.
This is a mountain city. Even Yu Huo, who has a good sense of direction, couldn't remember the way he came while sitting in the car.
"I heard this is Director Qin's hometown. He might have chosen this place specifically because he wanted to help develop his hometown's tourism industry."
Yu Huo tilted his head to look out the window at the tall buildings on the street. Feeling his hands were empty, he pinched his thin phone between his index finger and thumb and spun it around in the air boredly: "I see this place is very developed. Is this unnecessary?"
Sister Chen seemed to still be holding a grudge against him for 'buying a villa' on the plane. She kicked him in anger, "Of course not here! We need to meet at the hotel first. Director Qin's hometown is still a long way off. I heard that Director Qin didn't come from a good background, and his hometown is remote and has inconvenient transportation. He's made it to where he is today, so he's a legendary figure who transcends class..."
Sister Chen's expression was full of envy, and she wished she could be the one who stepped into the upper class.
Yu Huo lowered his eyes, tapped the phone screen lightly with his bony fingers, and typed the words "Qinshe" into the search bar.
Gender: Male.
Birthplace: Yuzhou, Bashu
Chairman of Xingyao Entertainment Company and famous director.
Wife: Guan Leng
.......
"He came from a poor background, yet he was able to build Xingyao Entertainment from scratch. Although the company nearly faced bankruptcy three years ago, Director Qin persevered and finally signed top star Yan Xun last year, bringing the company back to life. Afterwards, he renounced fame and fortune and handed over the reins to return to the art world... Such a person is a legend in his own right."
Yu Huo frowned as he looked at the high-definition photo loaded on the screen. His half-closed eyes were forced to open wide in surprise. "Tsk, impossible. This person looks poor, which means he will never starve to death..."
tie!
Before he could finish his words, Yu Huo covered his red forehead with his hands and looked at the culprit with an accusing look on his face: "Sister Chen, if you hit me again, I will kill you!"
Sister Chen grabbed the guy in front of her by the collar and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you on the plane so quickly?! Come on, you'd better kill me now!"
Yu Huo made a pistol gesture and narrowed his eyes: "Fuck you."
Sister Chen slapped his hand away, her face filled with black lines. "Childish!"
Yu Huo is the best-looking artist she has signed, and this kid has a good family background and is down-to-earth. He never does anything crooked, but he is a bit taciturn and a bit easy to bully.
She had prayed for countless days and nights that this guy would be more cheerful, but she didn't expect that when her wish came true, she would not be happy at all!
Because this guy seems a little too cheerful, he is really difficult to deal with.
I hope this bastard won’t be banned after the recording is finished.
"Hey, driver, please pull over..."
Sister Chen came back to her senses from her daze and looked warily at the guy next to her who was making a fuss: "Why did you ask the driver to stop?"
"Buy something." Yu Huo nimbly dodged the Tathagata Palm extended by Sister Chen, opened the car door and jumped out.
Then he walked into an incense shop.
Sister Chen, who witnessed everything: (Fuck)
The incense shop is not big, and there is a faint smell of incense ash inside.
Yu Huo walked around inside, reached out and fiddled with the talisman paper and cinnabar on the counter. Then, under the boss's attentive gaze, he pointed at the ornaments on the other person's wrist and asked, "Boss, how much are these beads?"
The boss turned his wrist and said, "It's rare to see young people like playing with these things. However, I just got this necklace not long ago and don't plan to sell it. Would you like to take a look at other ones?"
Yu Huo wasn't a domineering person. Seeing that the other party wasn't selling, he naturally wouldn't take away what they wanted. Finally, he pointed to the shelf and said, "Then give me two walnuts. Also, cinnabar, blank talisman paper, red string... I'll give you the 200 yuan ones first."
Oh, it’s really uncomfortable for him not to take inventory of things with his hands.
I can't afford good things, so I'll just play with walnuts for now.
When walking out of the incense shop, Yu Huo immediately saw the evil spirit sitting on the roof of the car basking in the sun.
There is no extremely yin being that is not afraid of the sun, but the one in front of him is particularly special. He actually appears under the scorching sun in a self-mutilating manner, and there is even a smile on his face.
So why did this guy come out instead of staying at the memorial tablet?
Yu Huo paused slightly, turning the two newly bought walnuts in his hand faster and faster, wondering what he was thinking...
The evil spirit sitting on the top of the car seemed to sense something and looked over lazily with his head tilted. Maybe it was because of his thin eyelids, but the look from him seemed condescending.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come back!"
Sister Chen stuck her hand out of the car window and waved at him frantically.
Yu Huo withdrew his gaze, raised his foot and took a step forward. With a click, he stepped on something, making a crisp sound.
He lifted his foot and took a look.
ID card?
Whose is this?
Yu Huo bent down to pick up the ID on the ground, turned it over and saw the name - Jiang Ziyu.
...sounds familiar~
[Unfortunate 945: The rich second generation who will be filming a variety show with you soon.]
Yu Huo dragged out a long nod: "It's him... But why is his ID card here?"
Suddenly, there were noisy footsteps coming from the alley next door, as if someone was being chased.
"Ah! Don't come over here!!"
The person who was shouting had a cracked voice, and his throat seemed to be filled with fear.
The sun was blazing in the afternoon, and there was hardly a soul to be seen on the streets.
Yu Huo held the ID card in his hand, ignored Sister Chen's calls, and turned to walk towards the alley entrance.
The alley was narrow and damp, with moss growing on the corners of the walls. The exposed corner looked eerie, and even the wind seemed to be able to pierce into people's bones, making walking feel sore.
The footsteps inside seemed to have stopped, and the wheels slid and dragged on the ground, making a long and creepy sound.
Yu Huo stuck his head out and saw a female ghost in a red dress with her back to him, and two men with terrified faces in front of her.
One of them was running with a rosy face and trembling lips. In front of him was a teenager in a wheelchair. The teenager had a pale face and was skinny. He was tortured by illness and looked very tired.
"ah--!"
The man, who was acting normally, saw the female ghost standing in front of him and turned around decisively while pushing his wheelchair.
But the next second, the female ghost whooshed over again and stood in front of them again. She slowly raised her head, her face covered with crisscrossing scars, and the long and thin wounds were still oozing blood, which was particularly terrifying.
The female ghost stretched out her arms, her nails so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.
"ah--!!!"
Yu Huo sighed, "Don't harbor any more delusions about things that should have perished."
His voice was not loud, but every word sounded like gems in the deserted alley, attracting the attention of the two people and the ghost not far away.
The ghost girl's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. After seeing that the person coming was just a young man in his twenties, her dim eyes lost their vigilance. The corners of her mouth curled higher and higher, as if they were split to the roots of her ears.
The next second, her palm, which was suspended in mid-air, changed direction, and her arm stretched to a strange length, grabbing straight towards Yu Huo's face at an astonishing speed.
Yu Huo tilted his head and raised his palm, which was holding two walnuts, to block it. His young face remained calm, and his tone was full of ridicule: "How vicious! Just because your plastic surgery failed, you can't see others look good?"
The dense wounds on the ghost girl's face began to turn outward due to anger, but the blocked hand still stayed at Yu Huo's ear and could not move forward any further.
Gurgle——
The sound of a wheelchair being pushed quickly was heard in the quiet alley. The man's eyebrows jumped and he immediately stopped running. He slowly looked at the female ghost who was staring at him fiercely.
Fear instantly crept into his pupils, and even the hairs on his body were trembling with fear.
Just before he thought he was going to die, a black shadow flew past. The female ghost let out a strange cry of pain and fell backwards, covering her head.
Also dropped on the ground was a huge walnut.
While he was stunned, he saw the unusually brave young man walking towards him, bending down and slowly picking up the walnuts on the ground, turning them in his hands, while looking at him with eyes full of sympathy.
"You look like this... no wonder ghosts like you."
