Volume 1 Chapter 47 The Taoist Priest and Zhenzi
"Gu Chiye, why are you here?"
Zhu Sheng was a little surprised. In her opinion, this aloof president didn't like to participate in such public events.
Before, there were only a few people in the haunted house, so it was understandable to just play a little.
But now, it's on a float in front of a large crowd.
Also, where did this Taoist robe come from, and who asked him to wear it.
When Gu Chiye saw Zhu Sheng's attire, he roughly guessed that she was the elusive Zhenzi mentioned by the volunteers.
Facing Zhu Sheng's question, his expression looked a little unnatural.
After repeated curious questioning, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I signed up to be a volunteer at the amusement park, hoping to make up for the work during the summer break, but I didn't expect that the only job I had at this time was to assist with the float performance."
"Hahahaha, so you were captured and made a Taoist priest?"
"Well... the last volunteer who performed sprained his ankle, so we had to temporarily replace him. Everyone tried on the Taoist costume, but I was the only one that fit me best."
After hearing the whole story, Zhu Sheng laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
Initially, she was somewhat envious of Gu Chiye's status as a volunteer, after all, she had seen so many interesting things in the secret door of the haunted house.
But even Gu Chiye, the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, would actually have to face the day when he was forced to perform on stage.
This is even more bizarre than watching him ring the bell at the Nasdaq stock exchange on TV.
Having laughed enough, Zhu Sheng decided to find a comfortable corner backstage to enjoy the Taoist sword dance performed by President Gu.
At this moment, the float suddenly stopped.
Boom boom boom.
There was a rapid knock on the lounge door.
As soon as Gu Chiye opened the door, a middle-aged staff member rushed in. He looked like the volunteer leader who had led Gu Chiye to the amusement park entrance that morning.
He was sweating profusely, gasping for breath, and started shouting anxiously as soon as he came in.
"Xiao Gu, the female monster who was originally on the scene with you, I don't know what she ate that was bad. She started vomiting and having diarrhea ten minutes ago, and now she's stuck in the toilet and can't get out.
The float show has already begun, and you're next on stage, but if you go up alone, I don't know if you can hold on."
Gu Chiye was speechless. He had thought that being forced to go on stage was already his limit, but he didn't expect that he would have to perform a one-man show now.
But now that he was on this pirate ship, there was nothing he could do. He sighed slightly.
"Captain Xu, I'll go on stage first and try to delay the time. You should quickly look for a replacement."
After hearing what Gu Chiye said, Captain Xu hung his head and looked dejected, like a defeated rooster.
Halloween is definitely one of the most important festivals in the amusement park.
He originally wanted to work harder to recruit some capable people and get more bonuses this month.
But if the parade is messed up, not only will I lose the bonus, I might even lose my job as the leader.
It was already a great honor for Gu Chiye to be willing to help, but what he said about finding a temporary replacement program was almost impossible.
It seems that this time we can only leave it to fate.
Faced with the sudden change, Zhu Sheng felt both sympathy and some anticipation.
It seems that this time, Mr. Gu will not only have to perform on stage, but also have to perform on the spot and clean up the mess left by others.
Just as she was about to sneak out of the lounge during the chaos, she was suddenly noticed by Team Leader Xu at the door.
There was actually another person in the room.
No! It's a ghost!
Team leader Xu's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, ghosts are more valuable than humans.
Moreover, she was the female ghost he had always dreamed of!
It was truly a godsend. Team Leader Xu rushed over and grabbed Zhu Sheng, who was trying to escape through the window. He was determined not to let go of this rare life-saving straw.
"Girl, help me, you must have heard what I just said. I am going to perform a Taoist priest catching a demon on stage, but the female ghost can't come. Can you help me out?"
He grabbed Zhu Sheng's sportswear tightly and begged desperately, as if he was going to kneel down and kowtow if he didn't agree.
Looking at Team Leader Xu who was crying and shouting, Zhu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Isn't it a bit casual to do this? It's not a systematic thing. I'm playing the role of a chaste man. Can a Chinese Taoist priest capture a Japanese ghost?"
"Why not? What our ancestors left behind is the best. Is there any demon or monster in the world that we cannot conquer?
Moreover, this kind of chaos is the easiest to cause a stir. Young people nowadays can even pair Voldemort and Lin Daiyu, so Zhenzi and the Taoist priest are nothing compared to them."
Team leader Xu is now desperate and is talking nonsense.
As long as the show doesn't have any blanks and Zhu Sheng is willing to perform, he's willing to try anything.
The backstage had urged him to go on stage three times, and after the team leader Xu's repeated requests, Zhu Sheng finally agreed.
"Okay, but I can only improvise. I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong."
"Don't worry, as long as you can make the place lively, you can do your best. No matter what happens, I, Old Xu, will be responsible."
Zhu Sheng finally felt relieved when he heard that he could play freely.
She was not stage-shy, but she was afraid of messing up her performance and causing trouble for the people in the parade.
After listening to what Team Leader Xu said, Zhu Sheng felt more confident and estimated that there was still a lot of room for flexibility in this performance.
Zhu Sheng put on his wig again with great interest and spoke to Gu Chiye who was watching the excitement at the side.
"Let's go and see if you, a Taoist priest, can subdue me!"
Here, the audience in the live broadcast room are also looking forward to it.
[Family, I just went to make some instant noodles. Why can’t I understand it? The Taoist priest fights Zhenzi. Isn’t this plot too magical? ]
[Don't tell me, I'm still looking forward to it. I wonder how Zhu Sheng will fight with Mr. Gu this time.]
[Even if it’s a female ghost, Zhu Sheng must be the most powerful ghost among all the powerful ghosts. It doesn’t look easy to subdue her. Don’t let the two of you tear down the stage while fighting.]
[Thank you, Team Leader Xu. The more I look at Mr. Gu's Taoist robe, the more I see it exudes a sense of abstinence and nobility. It's a real feast for the eyes.]
The parade of floats is undoubtedly the most eye-catching part of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade.
The performance on stage will last for more than two hours, and the show will become more exciting as it approaches the end.
Gu Chiye's show started relatively early, and it was obviously just to warm up the audience, but there were still quite a few audience members standing in the audience.
At this time, the previous performance had just ended, the curtain was lowered, and the staff hurried on stage to change the scenery.
The props team was the busiest. In order to match Zhenzi's identity, they urgently found some matching devices from the backstage warehouse.
A group of people raced against time to set up the stage, and finally managed to make it less obtrusive before the show started.
Soon, Zhu Sheng and Gu Chiye took their positions.
The curtain went up again, and this time it was still dark.
Suddenly, a beam of light hit a TV with a flickering screen.
When the audience below the float stage saw this scene, they couldn't help but take another look at the flyer in their hands.
Yes, it says that this program is about Taoist priests catching monsters.
Doesn’t the name suggest this is an ancient story? Where did the TV come from?
There was a commotion in the crowd, and just when some audience members were impatiently trying to leave, a loud noise suddenly came from the stage.
Bang——.
The screen was shattered and a long-haired female ghost slowly crawled out of the TV.
