Daytime Horror
"How did you respond?"
Although it is in the style of a letter, the human eye can only see a small piece of white and cannot see the content.
After the white smoke appeared in front of the three ghosts, it quickly dissipated in mid-air.
The assistant director leaned over and looked at it for a while but couldn't get the point, so he had to ask.
"It's similar to the information you received. A Taoist priest will come later."
Fu Mingqiang lowered his eyes, his expression calm and he also looked helpless.
Ding Can was sitting at the dining table, staring at the person who was speaking. Because he was looking upwards, it was easier for him to see the expression of the person standing.
Fu Cha Qingyun was standing opposite her, with her fingers resting on the edge of the table.
She noticed that Fu Cha Qingyun's expression froze for a moment, and the corner of her eye seemed to twitch, with a flash of panic in her eyes.
It was obvious that she was trying to control her emotions, but the two evenly distributed blushes on her face were a little stiff at the moment.
Ding Can turned his attention to the two adult ghosts, but he couldn't find anything wrong with their reactions.
His emotions seemed unusually stable.
Her intuition told her that the content of the letter was more than that.
It's enough to surprise ghosts.
But why did this content only reach the ghost, but the director didn't receive it?
"Then let's go out and look for someone first." Seeing that there were no new clues, the assistant director prepared to continue.
Ding Can rolled his eyes, his calm mouth turned into a proper smile, and he stood up: "Ms. Chen Tang, do you have a map of the area? That way it will be easier for us to find it and avoid taking a detour."
Chen Tang shook his head: "We only have some spiritual connection with the nearby ghosts. We have never left the villa, so how can we know the route?"
"Then we can only rely on ourselves." Ding Can shrugged with some regret.
"Are you willing to go too?" The assistant director looked over with some joy on his face and some surprise.
"It's frustrating to stay here, why not find something to do?"
Ding Can replied, but his eyes did not move away from Shen Tang.
"Perhaps you can tell me about some of the ghosts you know nearby. If we run into them later, we can say hello. They might know ghosts from more distant homes."
Noticing that Ding Can seemed to be pursuing him relentlessly, Chen Tang suddenly realized something, and his already deep eyes became even darker than ink.
The coldness in his voice remained unchanged. "It's nothing special, but if you want to know, it's good to explain a few things. Why don't you come with me to the balcony upstairs and I'll point out the direction to you. That way you can see it more clearly."
"That's great." Ding Can smiled back and left the living room with her.
Gao Wenwen watched their backs as they left. He hadn't figured out what had happened yet, so he could only whisper to Shi Yan who was nearby.
"Sister Yan Zi, shall we go too?"
"Let's go together. The villa may not be safe. If we go out, at least we can take care of you."
To be honest, Shi Yan actually has little empathy for her cousin. Her behavior yesterday showed that he was not a good-tempered person.
Under normal circumstances, she would not be willing to communicate with such a person.
But now that personal safety is involved, I cannot ignore it.
If there is a chance to save someone, she will never give up.

There is a small terrace extending out from the second floor of the villa.
Now most people are gathered downstairs, and it seems particularly quiet here.
Ding Can walked onto the terrace floor made of white tiles and casually closed the glazed terrace door.
"It's just the two of us together, aren't you afraid?" Chen Tang put his hands on the windowsill and didn't look back.
"Yes, there are some, but compared to that, I am more worried about the dangers lurking in the dark."
Ding Can looked into the distance and saw a small group of villas in front of him. There was nothing special about knocking on them.
"Danger in the dark?" Chen Tang repeated.
There was not a single breeze here, and if one listened carefully, there was only a long and eerie silence.
After all, this is not the real world. Apart from humans, there are no other animals living here, so there will be no chirping of insects or birds.
"I want to know what exactly was written on the message from the Double Management Bureau just now." Ding Can walked over, stood side by side with her in front of the window sill, and said straight to the point.
Only then did Shen Tang turn around, seemingly not expecting Ding Can to be so direct at this time.
In addition, his tone was very firm, and he did not doubt his own speculation at all.
She felt that there was probably no need to hide it in this situation: "How did you find out?"
Only the three of them knew what had just happened. Almost the moment they saw it, they discussed it using the ghost's unique way of communication and agreed that no one else would notice.
It was not out of selfishness, but the Double Authority told them that this matter must be covered up and not let humans know.
As long as it can be solved before humans discover it, it can be treated as if it never happened.
But the situation is slightly different now, and it has been noticed by humans.
If we don't say it clearly, causing humans to fall into greater suspicion and report it directly to human administrators, this matter will become a problem faced by both worlds.
It would be easy to deal with if only the ghost world was involved, but if humans get involved, the subsequent handling will not only be cumbersome, but it is also likely to affect future cooperation.
Chen Tang weighed the pros and cons of the matter. Since this person hadn't pointed it out just now, there should be room for negotiation.
She looked like someone who could listen to advice.
Ding Can explained: "Even mature children find it difficult to control certain subtle expressions."
Chen Tang understood that it was that little ancestor who accidentally leaked it.
But this human was also extremely smart and immediately deduced another possibility.
"Okay, I can tell you, but the condition is that you don't let anyone else know. In return, if you are in danger, I can do my best to keep you safe."
Ding Can thought for a moment and said, "There are three of my friends downstairs. I hope you can ensure the safety of the four of us."
After a moment's thought, Chen Tang knew who she was talking about.
The four people who dared to approach them just now all held different positions in the crew. Although they didn't seem to be very close to each other, when they were together, there was always an aura that others couldn't fit in.
Chen Tang was a little confused, but she didn't want to delve into the reasons. It would be better to solve the current trouble.
"I can do that."
"What about the other two ghosts?" Ding Can did not agree immediately.
Chen Tang's expression eased slightly: "Don't worry about that. The three of us are a united front. No matter what happens, we won't disagree."
"That's good."
"As for what we're worried about, it's that an evil spirit has sneaked into the buffer zone."
After death and becoming a ghost, the normal process is to be registered in the underworld, which is similar to the household registration system in the human world.
Every registered ghost is equivalent to having an ID card, and can live and practice normally in the underworld, and wait for an opportunity to be reincarnated.
In the ghost world, the future is clear and peaceful.
Most ghosts who rely on stability would think this is a good life.
Similarly, some ghosts who are dissatisfied with the status quo and disobey discipline disdain this kind of life.
They are not like ordinary ghosts who are calm and practice step by step, but try to improve their cultivation through unconventional methods.
These evil spirits found an opportunity to escape the control of the underworld and wandered among the three realms.
If they want to establish their own business, they must first make themselves strong. The way they choose is to devour their own kind.
The cultivation gained by devouring other ghosts is much faster than practicing on one's own. For evil ghosts with no bottom line, they will soon taste the sweetness.
Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can avoid the spiritual searches of ghost messengers and human sorcerers and escape to any place one wants.
As long as you don't deliberately reveal your presence, you can hide for as long as you want.
In the eyes of these evil ghosts, reincarnation as a human is no longer what they desire.
What they really want is the power of eternal life and unlimited power.
As for the panic that Fu Cha Qingyun showed just now, it was entirely out of concern for her own safety.
The predators of evil spirits are other ghosts. On the contrary, humans are of no help to them. Due to their different physiques, they need to expend extra energy to digest humans, so there is no need to worry at all.
The ones who should be in real crisis are the ghosts like these who live peaceful lives on weekdays.
Chen Tang and others should thank their cousin's disappearance, otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to contact the Double Management Bureau, and they don't know when they will get the news.
The Double Bureau has done a good job of blocking the news, and the buffer zone appears peaceful and tranquil on the surface, but in fact, many ghosts have disappeared.
As for why the ghost world administrators don't want to reveal the truth, it's because the buffer zone was built by the joint efforts of the two worlds, and the traceable time is only a dozen years.
These days, they have been tracking the whereabouts of evil spirits, hoping to solve the problem before human sorcerers discover it.
Otherwise, if they are discovered and the buffer zone is invaded by evil spirits, the ghost world will be in the wrong.
Although it was built with joint efforts, there are always conflicts of interest, and the two worlds only maintain a superficial balance.
Once exposed, the ghost world's voice is likely to be reduced, and its prestige in future decision-making and deliberation will be less than before, making it impossible to compete.
Although they were just three ordinary ghosts, they also knew the sense of collective honor and would not reveal this matter without thinking.
The changes in the number of ghosts are beyond the jurisdiction of humans, which is why they have been kept undetected for so long.
The ghost world administrator also had some speculations about the disappearance of his cousin last night.
He wondered if the evil spirit had possessed him, using the human body to move freely through the buffer zone, killing ghosts along the way.
It took several years for the buffer zone to get on track. The barrier was completed by both realms together, and countless spells were added to it.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is like an iron barrel, but the evil ghost came in right under their noses, so it must have some special abilities.
The ghost world manager has been tracking him for a long time, and now he has finally learned that he might appear in this rental villa area, so of course he will not let him go.
The letter just now also stated that several ghost officials are on their way.

After listening to what Chen Tang said, Ding Can finally understood their concerns, which were justifiable and understandable.
At least if the situation is true, they are not in any great danger.
The two communicated harmoniously for a while.
"I understand. If I find the person later, I will test him to see if he is possessed by the evil spirit you mentioned. As for keeping this a secret, I promise not to reveal it to anyone except the four of us."
Chen Tang's expression softened: "Thank you very much."
Ding Can's mind was slightly moved. The space called Diary Training Camp that she was put into was almost a mysterious area to her.
So, are the various existences in it real?
Ghosts and gods are inherently illusory, but at this moment they are able to get along well with each other. According to the knowledge I have received, the ghost in front of me should be just an entity composed of code and data. Can it have a deeper consciousness?
She tentatively asked, "You ghosts, are you still clear about your past experiences?"
Seeing Chen Tang tilt his head slightly with a puzzled look on his face, she continued to ask in more detail: "I just sometimes feel like I was created by someone, so I wonder if ghosts would have different perceptions of this."
