Liu Jin didn't think much of it. Although Lin Xi had come to visit, in his heart, Lin Xi was still a senior from the capital. How could he let a senior come to help him with things?
Moreover, he was eager to make a good impression.
Perhaps if I perform well, I might be remembered by my seniors, and eventually I might be able to get their guidance or even be promoted to the next level.
Thinking about all this, Liu Jin was suddenly filled with excitement and his blood boiled.
He immediately stepped forward, came to the mannequin, and without saying a word, pulled out a talisman and stuck it on the mannequin's forehead.
Seeing the boss staring wide-eyed in surprise, Liu Jin explained.
“I sensed a yin energy emanating from this mannequin, which suggests that a ghost may be residing inside. To prevent it from escaping in the chaos, I first stuck a talisman on it to keep it inside.”
After saying that, Liu Jin glanced at Lin Xi secretly, thinking that there shouldn't be anything wrong with his move.
The boss, however, was completely oblivious to Liu Jin's sly look, his mind preoccupied with the word "ghost."
Although she and her husband had previously speculated about why the mannequin was moving, they had also wondered if there was a ghost involved.
But no matter how much they think about it, it's all just their speculation.
Only when she clearly heard Liu Jin say that there was a ghost inside did she feel a chill run down her spine.
"Master Liu Jin, this... this... how did this ghost get into the mannequin? Where is it usually? Could it have been in our shop all along?!"
The boss felt terrible just thinking about it.
Anyone would feel uneasy knowing that there's a ghost living next to them.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin shook his head.
"These things are unclear for now. Let me get it off the dummy first."
After saying that, Liu Jin tried to talk to the ghost inside the dummy.
“I know you can hear us. Now I’m giving you a chance to explain yourself. Why are you hiding inside the mannequin? Why are you trying to scare people?”
"If you can give a reasonable explanation, blink. If you refuse to explain, then I'll have to take you back and deal with you."
"Let me tell you, ghosts like you who deliberately appear in front of ordinary people and frighten them will be treated as evil spirits, and the punishment will be severe, with consequences you absolutely cannot bear."
Liu Jin's expression was exceptionally serious when he said this, and with that expression, his words seemed all the more real.
Lin Xi, standing to the side: "..."
She finally understood the tactics Liu Jin used.
Simply put, the method is to first use a talisman to intimidate the other party, and then apply verbal pressure by deliberately exaggerating the consequences to make the ghost panic and surrender.
This method isn't bad, but it only works on ghosts that are timid or weak.
If you encounter a determined evil spirit or vengeful ghost, you might be taken down before you can even utter any threats.
But thinking about it, if they really encountered a fierce ghost or evil spirit, Liu Jin and his group probably wouldn't be able to handle it and would need to seek help from a higher level.
The ghost hiding inside the dummy seemed to be a pushover. Upon hearing Liu Jin's words, it was indeed frightened and blinked, indicating that it was willing to cooperate with Liu Jin and tell the truth.
Upon seeing this, Liu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems like things will go smoothly this time, and I'm sure I'll leave a good impression on my seniors!
Thinking this, Liu Jin stepped forward and prepared to remove the talisman from the mannequin's forehead.
However, he took one more precaution before removing it.
He took a rope out of his bag and tied the dummy inside it.
This rope is no ordinary rope; it's a magical artifact. It's not very useful to humans, but to ghosts, it's like a rope used to bind them.
Once the ghost is encircled by this rope, it won't be able to escape.
Lin Xi nodded approvingly at Liu Jin's actions.
If Liu Jin really listened to the dummy and removed the immobilization charm without saying a word, then she felt she needed to further strengthen Liu Jin's awareness of fraud prevention.
It seems that those who can enter special departments are competent in all aspects.
After the immobilization charm was removed, the dummy could move and speak again.
Whether it genuinely hadn't considered escaping or was simply bound by the rope, the dummy immediately offered an explanation after the immobilization charm was removed.
It said.
"I didn't mean to scare people, it was an accident."
The voice coming from the mannequin was that of a man.
But judging from the voice, he sounds very young, probably no more than thirty years old.
The boss was furious when he heard the other party say that.
"Not trying to scare me on purpose? Who are you trying to fool! If you weren't doing it on purpose, then why are your positions and movements different every time I come in?"
"You knew I would find out, yet you still did this. Were you trying to scare me?"
"You're up to no good, and you even winked at my husband! You're deliberately trying to scare him!"
After saying that, the boss immediately hid behind Lin Xi and Liu Jin, afraid that his tone was too strong and that the ghost would hold a grudge against him.
Liu Jin didn't actually believe that the ghost was just accidentally scaring people.
If it were truly an accident, the moment the boss first noticed its position was wrong, it would realize it had slipped up and would be extra careful next time.
But the second time it didn't try to hide it, and even blatantly changed its actions.
This completely disregards the boss and doesn't care whether she's afraid or not.
Liu Jin had originally thought that if the ghost confessed honestly, he would be lenient with him.
But now.
Liu Jin immediately chanted a spell, and the rope on the ground suddenly tightened, firmly binding the dummy's legs.
"ah!"
The dummy immediately let out a painful howl.
"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I'll tell the truth right now!"
"I really didn't mean to hurt anyone, and I wasn't trying to scare anyone. I just... I just wanted them to see my poses and my catwalk..."
Posture, catwalk?
This sounds like it might be related to models?
The mannequin continued its explanation.
He said his biggest dream was to become a model, but despite his long efforts and studies, he died of an acute illness.
He was not yet twenty years old when he passed away, and there were still many things he had not had time to do.
His biggest regret is that he has not yet become a real model.
Forget about becoming a top global supermodel, he has never even participated in a formal fashion show.
