Halfway through the afternoon group match, there were more than four million people online in the live broadcast room.

This is the number of viewers who lost a lot during the half-time break, as some of them went to watch the fun under the hot search terms.

Five minutes after the latest help request ended, a wave of new entries rushed to the top of the hot searches.

#The White Snake of Gratitude#

#How cruel can a Phoenix man who eats all the family members of his family be#

#Do animal fairies really exist in the East? #

…

Most of the hot topics under these trending searches are discussions and recommendations related to the contestants of "Spiritual Matters".

The number of fans of several contestants with good looks and outstanding personal qualities has increased dramatically.

Among them, Gu Zhisang had the fastest growth.

Before the fourth episode was over, she had gained nearly 10 million fans, without any exaggeration.

Such a terrifying storm of fans has made many people in the circle jealous. It is said that various companies are privately asking who wrote her "program script";

Even people in her own company would try to get Xiao Zhou's attention from time to time, trying to win him over.

Many companies have begun to contact Li Chenghe, hoping to get their artists into the show as flying guests, or directly invite them to the fourth season.

In just one month, "Spiritual Matters" has transformed from a trashy variety show that even 18th-tier artists in the circle looked down upon to a popular show that various companies are vying for.

Looking at the trend on the Internet, a manager in the nanny car put down his phone and said, "Gu Zhisang has really turned things around."

"Nowadays, these people on the Internet don't even think about it. The so-called master of mysticism and Feng Shui is just a persona created by the company! There are still so many people who truly believe it. I don't like her arrogant look the most. Just wait and see, she will fail sooner or later with this kind of pretentious persona!"

Yu Fengqing, who was sitting in the back of the car with his eyes closed, frowned.

As she listened to her agent's chatter, an extremely beautiful face gradually emerged in her mind.

Although she debuted in the same talent show as Gu Zhisang, as she became more and more successful, everyone started to hate her. Yu Fengqing no longer took this outdated former "teammate" seriously.

Who would have thought that after appearing on a metaphysics variety show, Gu Zhisang would gradually turn things around, gain a large number of fans and reverse his reputation, which also had a certain impact on Feng Qing.

The blogger who was first exposed by Gu Zhisang for abusing animals during a live broadcast was her well-known fan.

After the trending search came out, the agent was furious, saying that this must be the script that Gu Zhisang's team bought off to star Na Bo, just to pull himself down.

Yu Fengqing didn't take it seriously, but concentrated on reading the script of "Floating Sea Legend".

Her good luck from childhood to adulthood made her more than 90% sure of getting the role, but in the end she failed.

Director Liu pushed all the companies and said that the crew had no intention of changing the roles and that it was people outside who were spreading rumors.

Yu Fengqing was very happy to know that his favorite actress Yu Tongqiu had survived the crisis and was showing signs of further progress.

But at the same time, she felt a vague sense of weirdness and discomfort in her heart.

This was the first time she wanted something so much but didn't get it.

It's like the 'koi' good luck buff suddenly lost its effect.

It was at that time that she saw that Yu Tongqiu had openly followed Gu Zhisang and actively interacted with him online;

The agent also mentioned it again and again.

These days, whenever she opens the trending searches, she always sees Gu Zhisang's name, so frequently that it makes her feel a little irritated.

The agent was still mumbling: "Even if we want to establish some kind of metaphysical persona, you were the first one to come up with it. You are the 'lucky fish', I should have marketed you more in the beginning..."

Yu Fengqing said impatiently: "Sister, please don't mention this anymore. Even if it's marketing and scripts, not everyone can achieve this effect."

What's more, the car hasn't flipped over yet.

The man surnamed Li has been hammered to death on the Internet.

Since the Ma Group is a well-known enterprise in the city, netizens were very excited about the gossip about the rich man. In addition, the man surnamed Li was often in the limelight in college, so many people who were in the same university with them and those who knew him came out to expose the news.

[Oh my god, he is such a person?! Because they got married not long after graduating from college, and many college classmates attended the wedding, which was very grand. It was then that we knew that Xiao Ma Jingran was a wealthy woman, and we were very moved...]

[My classmate surnamed Li, finally someone revealed his true colors!! This guy is a slick old man. Back then, I participated in a provincial competition with him in the same group. The work was done by me and two other brothers. But when it came time to present the results on stage, he secretly asked the counselor to put him in the spot, and in the end, he took the lion's share of the prize.

We brothers were not convinced and were accused of being jealous of him, which made us feel sick! 】

[Li xx and I are from the same village, and we all know him. His husband, Uncle Li, was a very nice person. My father used to bully me about him, but Uncle Li went to the city two years ago and died inexplicably. He brought back an urn and buried it in the back mountain, without a funeral.

From then on, my father looked down on him and said: If someone is not filial to his own father, no matter how successful he is, I will look down on him! 】

[We were in the same class in high school. At that time, he was looking for a date, and he only dated rich female classmates, asking them to buy him breakfast, water, and sneakers as gifts.]

As the information was dug deeper and deeper, the man surnamed Li was completely exposed.

Originally, there were Gu Zhisang's haters and internet trolls who were muddying the waters, saying that fortune-telling and metaphysics were feudal superstitions, and that Gu Zhisang was using his influence to harm people.

After thoroughly hammering home that the man surnamed Li was an unkind, unjust and unfilial Phoenix man, these nitpickers who were slapped in the face started playing dead again.

At the same time, after watching this show, the ghosts in the underworld also started a discussion in the underworld.

"This man's heart is darker than a demon. He is another one of those reserve soldiers who has been in hell for two hundred years."

"Filial piety comes first among all virtues. People who harm their own fathers will have a hard time in hell."

"That snake demon is going to become a dragon, I'm so envious. I wonder when my demon can become a great ghost..."

"Is there any group that can go and haunt this guy in his dreams, so that he can experience the sufferings of the underworld in advance?"

"By the way, his dad must have died a few years ago. Has he been reincarnated? If not, then isn't he sitting in the underworld watching his son go on the show?"

The ghosts hanging upside the Sanzu River were discussing heatedly. One of the gray old ghosts had a complicated expression and sighed.

The ghost beside him asked, "Brother Li, why are you so sad?"

The old ghost drooped his shoulders, sniffed and said, "Well, to be honest with you, the one who was avenged by the white snake on the show just now was my son."

This ghost is Old Man Li.

There was no funeral after his death, and no relatives came to worship him or burn paper for him during festivals. In the underworld, he became the lowest and poorest ghost.

Fortunately, after becoming a ghost, it is difficult for him to feel pain and hunger. When he was alive, he was often in unbearable pain, but he felt relieved after death.

Hearing that the wronged ghost Old Man Li was right beside them, many gossiping ghosts' eyes lit up, and they looked in the direction of Old Man Li, asking him all kinds of questions.

Just when Old Man Li was feeling a little embarrassed, a gray-faced messenger arrived and said in a rough voice:

"Li xx, the King of Hell sent me to summon you."

Old man Li rubbed his hands and said, "Excuse me, sir, what does the King of Hell want from me?"

The ghost messenger had a complicated expression and said, "You are lucky, old man. The Ten Kings of Hell are also following the show "Spiritual Matters". It just so happens that the underworld is doing some kind of "ghost care" recently, so you were chosen as a typical ghost for special care!"

"You are not a person of great merit. According to the normal waiting time, you would have to wait seven years, four months and one day before you can be reincarnated. But now all the time before that can be erased, and you can be reincarnated in advance. In addition, the snake you saved is about to turn into a dragon, which can barely be considered a second-class spiritual creature in the world of the living. With its good karma, you can be reincarnated into a well-off family and live a safe and worry-free life in your next life!"

Old man Li was dumbfounded.

Looking at the ghosts around him who were full of envy and eager eyes, it was a little bit unbelievable: "Really, sir?"

"Seriously, come with me to the Reincarnation Stone now."

The ghost next to him said enviously, "Brother Li, this is a blessing in disguise for you. You will soon be reincarnated to live a good life. Congratulations!"

"That's right. You're dead now and have nothing to do with that ungrateful son. Even after reincarnation, you have no connection with him anymore."

"You have done your best both as a human and as a ghost!"

Under the persuasion of the ghosts, Old Man Li let out a long breath, and his frown slowly relaxed, "Yes..."

It turned around and followed the ghost to the road of reincarnation.

——

After a forty-minute absence, the production team notified all contestants in advance to be ready according to the time in the script.

As the live camera was turned back on, the second round of help in the group match officially began.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room, which was originally just over 4 million, began to soar the moment the camera was turned on. The host, who had just adjusted the recording equipment, looked up and was shocked by the jumping numbers.

Liu: "So many audience friends? It seems our little show is really popular. Welcome everyone."

"The second round of help seekers is a pair of siblings. They have recently encountered some troubles and sent an envelope asking for help to the program team, hoping that our contestants can help them solve the problems they encountered. After discussion with the program team, we invited them to the filming location for this episode, and now they are ready."

"In order to ensure the fairness of the program, I myself do not know the specific content of the request for help. All the electronic devices of the contestants have been taken away, and even the relationship between the people seeking help is unknown. Can they tell what strange thing happened to this pair of siblings? Please welcome the first contestant: No. 6 Daisy."

Daisy, who changed into a new modified cheongsam, had gotten rid of her morning fatigue.

She walked over to Liu and shook his hand, "Host, good afternoon to all the viewers watching the live broadcast."

Liu: "Good afternoon. I see many viewers are concerned about Daisy's health. How about you say a few words to everyone?"

So Daisy raised her hand, curled her red lips and waved at the camera, "Don't worry, everyone. I have replenished my energy."

Liu: "Okay, then let's invite the second group of help seekers to come on stage."

As soon as the words fell, a young couple came up under the guidance of the program crew.

They both looked young, probably in their twenties.

The girl was wearing a chiffon shirt and long skirt, with medium-length hair, and looked very graceful. "Hello everyone, I'm Xiaoxi."

The boy next to her had a buzz cut, thick eyebrows and big eyes. "Hello everyone, just call me Xiaocheng."

Daisy, who was familiar with the program flow, didn't need Liu to say anything more. She put the package on an empty table beside her, walked over to the young couple and said:

"Please give me your hands. I need to feel the energy of both of you."

After holding their hands, Daisy closed her eyes.

After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "Well, the energies of the two of you are very similar and close, which means that you should have a good relationship, but you are not lovers. I sense some of the same power in your energies that was passed down from an earlier time. You are relatives."

She looked at Xiaoxi and said, "You are the elder sister and he is the younger brother."

Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Yes, we are siblings."

In fact, the two siblings look very different. In the words of people who have seen their parents, they have inherited the characteristics of their father and mother respectively. Few people can be sure that they are siblings based on their appearance.

Daisy rubbed her palms and tilted her head to look at the young boy. "It's strange. There is an evil force surrounding you. It makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"Specifically, it feels sticky and cold, like a poisonous snake in the abyss, but different. It's so strange that I need to take a closer look."

After hearing what Daisy said, the brother and sister looked at each other with some shock in their eyes.

After taking out the mirror, candle and other items from the package again, Daisy lit the black candle while muttering something.

"Boy, hold my hand. I want to go to the other side of the world and see what happened to you."

Xiao Cheng scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Okay."

Daisy dripped the wax melted by the flame onto the mirror. Her tone became hoarse and strange again, like the hum of a snake. When the wax covered half of the mirror, she put it aside, picked up the mirror, and looked into her own green eyes.

Her palms were very white and painted with red nail polish. As the tone of the incantation she chanted suddenly became higher, Xiaocheng felt that several of his hand bones as a man were about to be crushed.

He frowned in pain, and at the same time, he felt that the sound of the incantation so close to him was extremely penetrating, which made him feel uneasy.

When he came face to face with the witch, Xiao Cheng found that this was not acting at all as what was said on the Internet. He actually felt the hairs on his arms standing up!

Daisy's voice stopped abruptly.

She didn't know what she saw, she suddenly shook off Xiaocheng's hand, her face changed drastically, the mirror in her hand almost fell to the ground, and she quickly squatted down and blew out the black candle.

Liu asked, "How is it?"

"There is a demon beside the boy."

[Hiss... Use your ultimate move right away! ]

[The demon Daisy was talking about should be the evil spirit that Xia people talk about. My god, it seems that this boy has also been possessed by evil spirits. 】

Daisy said solemnly, "I saw it in another world. It had a very cold and evil aura. It was like Medusa in Western mythology. It was surrounded by water, as if it was in the sea. It was wet and sticky. Sea snakes and fish ate its flesh and blood and burrowed into its body, making it restless."

"So it's in great pain, and its heart is full of resentment. Its breath is as sinister as a snake, and it's entangled with you," she said with certainty.

When he said this, Xiaocheng's face turned pale, he was scared.

He nodded repeatedly and said with difficulty: "It's like this, I was indeed entangled by something because of the water..."

Daisy added: "I saw its eyes in the mirror. It won't let you go. You have provoked a very dangerous demon."

"Wait... I think I saw something else." She frowned, and after a while turned her head to look at the stream on the side and said:

"No, I almost didn't realize that you also have that kind of evil power. You are also possessed by that demon, right? But your condition is far less serious than your brother, so I almost ignored you at first."

Hearing this, Xiaoxi's eyes turned red. She nodded and choked up:

"It's like this. Actually, I was the one who was going to suffer in the beginning. My brother was entangled by that thing because he wanted to save me."

Xiao Cheng hurriedly said: "Sister, don't cry, what does it have to do with you?"

Daisy stepped forward, hugged the girl who was blaming herself, and comforted her, "Don't cry, there must be a way to solve it."

In the end, Daisy said that her ability system was not compatible with the ghosts in the underworld of Xia Country, so she could only see some things but could not solve them.

Just like before, she used the power of the god of darkness, Zambeto, to purify the negative energy from her sister Xiaoxi.

But she said she could do nothing to help Xiaocheng.

"The boy's situation is very serious and we must find the source before we can solve it."

Liu expressed his understanding and said, "The first contestant, Daisy, saw something very strange on the siblings, but she couldn't solve it. We can only invite the second contestant: No. 9 Xu Fu to take a look."

When Xu Fu came up, he saw a young couple out of the corner of his eye. The boy was comforting the girl with red eyes.

He thought he understood the relationship between the two, raised his hand to calculate, and said pretentiously:

"I just saw from your faces that you two are boyfriend and girlfriend. Some supernatural events happened to the girl, so you came to the program team for help."

Host/Sister and brother: …

The people from the director team were watching in the studio and were also speechless.

Li Chenghe held the intercom and said, "Just arrange the next contestant. This should be done soon."

However, the staff on the other end of the intercom said anxiously, "Director, No. 2 Bai Ci is missing! He left the villa gate in the last show and seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. We can't find him anywhere."

"What?!" Li Chenghe stood up. "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

"No. 2 always avoids people. I thought he had found a deserted place by himself this time..."

Just as the director team was about to find someone, Xiao Zhou ran over in a panic and said, "Director Li, Sister Sang asked me to tell you that Brother Bai Ci and her have something to discuss. Can you please help to adjust the order to the back?"

Li Chenghe:?

After a moment of silence, his focus turned out to be: "How did the two of them meet up together?"

Xiao Zhou: “I don’t know either…”

She didn't see Bai Ci next to Gu Zhisang at all!

If it were any other contestant, Li Chenghe would have already started yelling and would never agree.

But since it was Gu Zhisang who asked him to do so, he still nodded and said:

"Okay, I get it. Tell them to hurry up so as not to delay the filming of the show."

"Okay! Thank you Director Li!"

…

In the lounge, Gu Zhisang sat on a chair, propped up his chin with his fingertips and said lazily, "How long are you going to hide?"

The room was completely empty, without any sound, as if one was talking to the air.

"I already knew you were not human."

After a while, a fat, gray-haired hedgehog timidly poked its head out from under the sofa.
