Upper Town
College student Xiao Zhao and his friends arrived at the show exhausted. As soon as they found a seat and sat down, they couldn't wait to take out the support items. They were very excited: "Ahhhh, today is the semi-finals of "Go Go 99", Le Er must debut!"
This is a very popular talent show in China. Ninety-nine girls from all over the country compete on the same stage, and finally nine girls with good singing and dancing skills are selected to debut.
The ninety-nine girls are not all amateurs. Some of them are internet celebrities with a certain degree of fame, and others are people like Zhou Le'er who have already debuted but want to become famous through this show.
The friend next to her had just gotten out of bed when she dragged him here. He rolled his eyes, a little confused: "Although it's a bit tactless, I still want to say, this Zhou Le'er has too much negative information, is it worth chasing after her?"
Xiao Zhao put the sign with Zhou Le'er's name on it on his lap, shrugged, and retorted: "Please, but she is really charming. My heart starts pounding when I see her, and my dead girlish heart suddenly attacks me."
friend:"……"
My friend couldn't help but lean to the side, with a look of horror in his eyes: "You're not a homosexual, are you? I took a bath with you before."
Xiao Zhao was so angry that she slapped her friend's arm and said, "You think too much. I'm a straight woman. Who doesn't like attractive girls? Especially after meeting her in person, I understand why so many male stars like her."
She didn't like Zhou Le'er when she first got to know her, but when she met her in person by chance, she was immediately attracted by her charm in every move and became her die-hard fan.
"I don't like it. To be more accurate, I don't feel anything." My friend said bluntly, "I only like my idols. I will never climb over the wall. I have a very strong will."
Xiao Zhao: "...Okay, you are awesome."

Backstage Lounge
There were many exquisitely dressed girls sitting in the huge lounge, and Zhou Le'er was the most eye-catching one among them.
Her appearance is only average among everyone, but her temperament is very special.
She closed her eyes, stretched out her slender hand, picked up the spray, pressed the nozzle, and a fine mist of water hit her face.
At the same time, she shook her big reddish-brown wavy hair, and every move she made had an indescribable charm.
When people see it, they think of "charm".
The cute girl next to him couldn't help but say enviously, "Le'er, your manners are really good. Who did you learn from? I want to learn from you, too."
Zhou Le'er has a lot of fans, most of whom are boys. She is very popular in the show and is very likely to debut as the center, so those reporters dug up her experience thoroughly.
It is not new that she dated a member of a boy band she liked and ended up having an affair with one of her teammates. Someone even found photos of Zhou Le'er when she was in school.
In her college graduation photo, Zhou Le'er had dark skin, a rugged face, and prominent bones, and she was completely different from now.
If it weren't for the similar facial features and the same information, netizens would not dare to recognize that this person is Zhou Le'er.
As someone in the entertainment industry, the woman really wanted to know where Zhou Le'er had her plastic surgery and where she learned her manners to become such a beauty.
As soon as she finished speaking, the other girls who were doing various things moved their ears and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Zhou Le'er's beauty secrets.
But Zhou Le'er paused while pressing the nozzle, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said in a neutral tone: "Sorry, it's natural, I haven't used a knife, and I haven't learned it from anyone."
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, the woman curled her lips.
She was so shaved that even her parents didn't recognize her, and they still said it was natural...
Zhou Le'er noticed the other party's attitude, but didn't take it to heart. Looking at the increasingly beautiful face in the mirror, she felt happy but also a little bit empty and unreal.
She wasn't lying.
This face is indeed a natural face without any plastic surgery, and her manners are not learned from anyone.
But it was given by others.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand and touched the red string pendant on her neck. The pendant was a jade in the shape of a fox, and the fox was lifelike. Feeling her touch, the jade, which was originally a little cold, gradually became warm, as if responding to her.

Izumo-kan
Liang Jing called her friend in a secluded place and told her everything An Rugu had told her.
A friend's voice came from the microphone: "Really?"
Liang Jing said quickly: "Didn't I tell you that I had bad luck before? It turns out that Zhu Tingting borrowed it. This master is super powerful. He knows everything in the world without leaving home."
My friend thought thoughtfully: "I thought he was just a playboy and wanted to break up. Is there any way to solve this problem?"
Liang Jing's tone was full of admiration: "Of course."
My friend thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. If this matter can be resolved, I'm willing to pay one million."
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. She heard that Liang Jing spent more than one million yuan when he asked An Rugu for help last time.
Liang Jing agreed: "I'll ask her if she's willing for you."
An Rugu felt that this matter was a little weird, so she did not refuse, but agreed decisively.
Liang Jing's friend also lives in Beijing. It was a bit late today and it was not suitable to travel quickly, so the next day, the two of them went to Beijing together.
Her friend lives in a luxurious villa on the Third Ring Road, with its own garden and elegant environment.
When An Rugu saw his friend Liang Jing mentioned, his eyes swept across the other's face, and a sense of familiarity suddenly emerged in his heart.
Liang Jing is not well-known now, but her friend is a supporting actress who often appears on TV.
Li Qiuyue was so shocked by the other person's expression that she was speechless. She didn't react for a long time. After a while, she realized that she had lost her composure and immediately extended her hand: "...Master, hello."
Liang Jing saw her like this and covered her mouth with her hands to laugh. The first time she saw An Rugu, she was no less surprised than Li Qiuyue.
An Rugu stretched out her hand and shook it, but she pulled away immediately and got to the point: "Is your boyfriend home now?"
Li Qiuyue hummed, and said enthusiastically, "Yes."
She led the two to a room on the second floor and murmured, "He has had a very bad sleep schedule these past few days. He just went to bed, and I don't know if he's awake or not."
She pushed the door open and took a look, and found her boyfriend sitting at the table, holding a photo, obviously awake.
She breathed a sigh of relief, so she walked over to him and patted his shoulder: "Ah Cheng, I have two friends here, let me introduce them to you."
Because she was afraid that her boyfriend would be disgusted, she did not directly tell him that it was for exorcism.
After she finished speaking, she looked down subconsciously and her pupils immediately trembled.
What her boyfriend Su Cheng was looking at was not a photo of the two of them, nor a photo of his family, but a selfie of a well-dressed woman.
She didn't know this woman before, but over the days she had memorized all her features so well that she could recognize her even if she was burned to ashes.
Isn't this Zhou Le'er who was flirting with her boyfriend? Or is this someone else?
Su Cheng looked at the photo in fascination, and his right hand couldn't help but touch the woman's face in the photo.
Until he was confused, he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, feeling extremely.
Before he could react, the photo in his hand was snatched away, and an angry shout came from the side: "Look at other women so fascinated, have you ever taken me seriously?"
Su Cheng's fascinated expression almost hurt her eyes.
Li Qiuyue was so angry that her teeth itched. She cursed a few more times, but still felt unsatisfied. She stomped her feet and said, "Forget it. I can't bear it anymore. Let's break up!"
If he is now obsessed with touching other women's photos, maybe he has touched them in private long ago.
If you keep enduring like this, you'll probably have enough money to raise a horse.
Unexpectedly, she didn't feel very sad, but more relieved.
She fell in love with Su Cheng during a filming. After living together, she found that he was not what she had imagined, but was very chauvinistic and even mentally unfaithful.
The love in my heart has long been worn away by the other person's true face, so let's just break up.
Su Cheng touched his nose, feeling extremely embarrassed and not knowing what to do.
Liang Jing saw the two people quarreling and hurried in to persuade them to stop fighting: "Stop quarreling and let the master take a look."
"Master? What master?" Su Cheng asked curiously.
After Liang Jing's explanation, Su Cheng learned that An Rugu was hired by his girlfriend to exorcise evil spirits for him.
Su Chengcao was speechless and immediately waved his hands: "You are overthinking it. First, I am not possessed by evil spirits. Second, are you sure that this person who is not even as old as me can help me exorcise the evil spirits?"
Before Liang Jing could refute the other party, An Rugu's eyes turned and he said in a deep voice: "But you are indeed possessed."
Su Cheng: “???”
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. There's nothing strange about me. On the contrary, I'm fine." Su Cheng's eyes flashed with deep doubt.
"Isn't it strange that you have developed a crush on a woman for no reason recently?"
Su Cheng was about to refute, but after thinking for a moment, he glanced at Li Qiuyue next to him, and then nodded suddenly: "Yes, it's quite strange. I must have been possessed by an evil spirit, so I fell in love with him."
Then, he took Li Qiuyue's hand, his face full of remorse: "Qiuyue, forgive me, you see, I was possessed by evil spirits, so I cheated mentally, I will never do it again."
When Li Qiuyue saw him apologize, the anger in her heart gradually disappeared and her expression was somewhat moved, as if she was softened by the other party's apology.
An Rugu frowned, Su Cheng changed his words too quickly, as if he did it on purpose.
She closed her eyes and counted with her fingers, her brows furrowed even more tightly.
This person's horoscope is too dry, with heavy fire and earth, and weak water in the horoscope, so his kidney function is average. But he is very eager for the nourishment of water, so he has strong fantasies and demands for sex, and is a lustful person.
Thinking of his strange attitude, I had some guesses in my mind.
Maybe I have too many mental affairs in my daily life, so I don’t think there is anything strange about my sudden liking for Zhou Le’er.
After hearing the story of being possessed by evil spirits, he felt that he could easily blame his mental infidelity on being possessed by evil spirits, so he deliberately changed his words in the hope that Li Qiuyue would forgive him.
An Rugu thought for a moment and decided not to expose it on the spot and embarrass others.
After the matter is resolved, she will hint to Li Qiuyue and tell the guest the result of her calculation.
It doesn’t matter whether the other party breaks up or not, as long as she tells the truth, she will have a clear conscience.
Su Cheng felt much more relaxed when he saw that Li Qiuyue's expression had improved a lot after he coaxed her.
He thought about the fact that he was possessed by evil spirits, and goose bumps appeared on his arms. He turned his head to look at An Rugu: "...Did she cast a spell on me?"
When it comes to the ability to drastically change a person's personality, he immediately thought of the black magic in movies and TV dramas.
An Rugu lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her eyelids, and her sharp gaze swept through the smoky evil aura lingering around the other person.
At the same time, with her very sensitive sense of smell, she detected a faint smell of fox lingering in the air.
"It's not a black magic. You are possessed by a monster, a fox demon."
The fox's signature skill is charm. The stronger the fox's magic power, the better the charm effect. The worse the character of the person being charmed, the easier it is for him to fall into the trap.
He has a shaky mind, no wonder he was bewitched by the vixen who is good at seduction.
Su Cheng seemed to be listening attentively, but he was actually half-believing and half-doubting.
He had never seen gods or ghosts, and his materialistic worldview was deeply rooted. In his eyes, Zhou Le'er just had a good temperament and looked very different from a vixen, not really a fox.
Could it be that this master heard Li Qiuyue say that the person who seduced him was a vixen, so he deliberately made up a story based on her words to cheat them out of their money?
He used his accomplishments as an actor, smiled appropriately, and said in a casual and contemptuous tone: "Then what should I do?"
The master would probably take out a valuable potion and tell him that after drinking it, he would not be harassed by the vixen anymore.
However, An Rugu walked to Li Qiuyue and stretched out his hand: "Show me the photo."
Li Qiuyue immediately handed her the deformed photo in her hand.
"From one thing comes two..."
An Rugu recited a spell to communicate with the dead, took the photo, and drew two fingers like swords across his brow.
When he opened his eyes again, the fair-skinned and beautiful woman in the photo suddenly looked completely different.
"It's really an illusion caused by a vixen!"
As the name suggests, the art of communicating with the dead can communicate with the underworld and dispel all illusions.
Liang Jing saw her expression change slightly, and immediately came over and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
He suddenly lowered his head and glanced at the photo in her hand, and immediately screamed: "Ah! How come she suddenly became a different person!"
Li Qiuyue also came over. After seeing the person in the photo, she was horrified and looked confused: "How could this happen?"
Could it be that the monster has revealed its true form?
She turned her head to look at An Rugu, who had a calm expression, and her heart was filled with admiration. This master is so spiritual!
Su Cheng saw the two women were frightened one after another, confused and puzzled: "What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?"
Liang Jing and Li Qiuyue looked at each other, their faces pale: "Almost."
"It's scarier than seeing a ghost."
Su Cheng didn't believe it at all. The person in the photo was clearly the beautiful Zhou Le'er. How could there be any ghost?
I guess these two women are just envious and jealous.
He immediately walked over, his eyes fell on the photo, and a scream broke out from his throat, louder than the two people just screamed: "Ahhhhhhh!"
He quickly took two steps back, unable to believe what he had just seen, and muttered to himself: "How, how could this happen?"
He had just looked at the photo for a long time and knew better than them what the photo originally looked like. The woman in the photo was originally very beautiful, but now her face was rugged, her eye sockets were sunken, and her skin was covered with acne.
It's as if the beauty filter was manually removed, which is even more terrifying than removing the beauty filter. At first glance, it's not the same person at all.
In the blink of an eye, he understood.
It turns out that Zhou Le'er is really a vixen, and he is really haunted by a monster!
Thinking of the fox spirits in TV dramas that absorb Yang energy and dig out people's hearts, the beautiful face in his mind suddenly turned into an evil ghost with a green face and fangs, and the ambiguous feelings in his heart immediately disappeared.
He hurriedly begged An Rugu for help, his attitude completely different from before, full of desire to survive: "Master, you must help me, I don't want to have my heart dug out!"
"I will." An Rugu said.
Her eyes changed slightly, and she felt that things were not that simple. Zhou Le'er was a real person, and she could calculate her fate. She was not a vixen.
The person standing behind her and helping her is probably the monster.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she thought for a moment and came up with an idea, so she looked at Su Cheng: "Can you ask her out?"
Su Cheng thought about it and nodded quickly: "She is participating in a talent show now, but the supervision is not strict. She can use her phone in private and occasionally come out for some fresh air. I'll ask her out tonight."
"OK."
.................
The semi-finals of the talent show ended perfectly. Zhou Le'er ranked first in the number of votes, leaving the second place far behind. The venue echoed with the screams and cheers of fans.
"Come on, Le'er! Love you!"
"You must debut as the center, baby!"
"Practice the music for the final well!"
When they were extremely excited, Zhou Le'er did not sweat in the dance studio as they had imagined, but left the filming location of the show and took a car to a nearby teahouse.
This teahouse has a private membership system and no one without a membership is allowed to enter. In short, it is very private. Many celebrities will go in pairs to rent a small private room to drink some tea and relax.
Zhou Le'er's steps jumped with excitement when she thought of Su Cheng, who had asked her to meet him here.
Su Cheng has deep facial features and affectionate eyes, and is a very popular star.
As an ordinary person, she could only watch TV dramas and read the news to get a glimpse of the other person's life.
But now it’s different. She entered the entertainment industry as she wished, and her former idol also fell in love with her.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of entanglement in the voice: "Can you not go to see him?"
Zhou Le'er paused, looked around, and when she saw no one was around, she lowered her voice and said, "Alai, I like him too much. He finally asked me out, so just let me go."
"But he only likes your face. There is no future between you two."
Zhou Le'er felt a pain in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "Please let me have this dream a little more perfectly! Oh, remember to cast a little more charm on him. I'm afraid the effect will wear off."
"……good."
When Zhou Le'er heard his words, she felt relieved, but at the same time she felt a little depressed, as if Alai was angry with her.
Maybe it's because she wants more and more.
Hu Lai was a little fox she found on the mountain when she returned to her hometown during the Spring Festival. The little fox's foot was aggravated by the trap and was bleeding.
She rescued the fox and took it home, taking good care of it. The little fox had lively eyes, as if it could understand what she said, very smart.
She was ordinary, even ugly, and her grades were average. She would never have a good school romance, and she would never receive praise from teachers.
She lived like a transparent person, and in order to find a sense of existence, she began to chase stars. Maybe the more she lacked something, the more she liked it, so she liked handsome men very much.
She would occasionally show Little Fox photos of herself chasing her idol, and excitedly say how great it would be if she could fall in love with her idol.
The little fox seemed to be listening to her very seriously, staring at her with a very sincere look.
However, after recovering from its wounds, the little fox left some berries and left.
She was very sad to see her fox friend leave, thinking that they would never meet again. Unexpectedly, the fox friend went to practice, and when he came back, he asked her to seal his mouth.
She said that the other person looked like a human, so the other person turned into a human form, became a spirit, and said that he wanted to repay her.
She was so excited that she immediately asked if she could make someone fall in love with her. The little fox seemed to be very conflicted, but still agreed and performed the secret technique for her.
So, she got her wish and fell in love with her favorite boy band star. With the charm of the little fox, she could hit whatever she wanted, and the star she touched would fall in love with her.
At first she felt a little guilty, knowing that this was a deceptive act, but as she cheated more and more, she became more and more accustomed to it.
And she was soon swept away by vanity and glitz. Who doesn't like to be surrounded by countless favorite stars and have many adoring fans?
She wanted more and more, but Hu Lai never rejected her. She was sensitive and felt something was wrong. Would Hu Lai like her?
It is very likely, otherwise he would not have helped her so unconditionally. Aren’t those female ghosts and demons in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio all “giving their bodies in return for saving their lives”?
The favored person becomes fearless, so she becomes more and more indulgent.
She collected her thoughts and walked excitedly to the teahouse, ready to meet the male star she once liked.
Arriving at the agreed room, she pushed open the door and saw the handsome Su Cheng holding a cup of tea, sipping it quietly. His elegant and neat appearance was exactly the same as in the TV series.
Zhou Le'er's eyes sparkled, she pursed her lips, suppressed her excitement, and walked to Su Cheng: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
Su Cheng seemed friendly, his eyes full of affection: "I didn't wait long, I just got here too."
Zhou Le'er blushed and screamed wildly in her heart, Ahhhhh, he is so gentle!
Su Cheng put down the teacup, as if he had thought of something, and picked up his phone to check: "Sorry, my girlfriend is still waiting for me at home, I can only stay with you for thirty minutes."
Zhou Le'er pretended to be reserved and hummed: "Okay."
She knew the man had a girlfriend, but she still let the fox cast a spell. She wouldn't sleep with him anyway, she just wanted to experience the feeling of being loved by someone she once admired.
So she didn't feel that she was sorry for his girlfriend.
Su Cheng didn't dare to look directly at the person opposite him. He turned sideways to pick up his bag and said pointedly, "I found your old photos online. Why do you look different from before?"
Zhou Le'er was stunned for a moment, and her smile was a little unnatural: "...Girls change a lot when they grow up."
She couldn't say that it was the illusion that gave her a new face.
Su Cheng pretended to be calm, feeling that he had used all his acting skills in this moment, and his tone seemed nonchalant: "Then do you like me?"
Zhou Le'er wanted to say that she liked him, but in order to push and pull, she didn't say what was in her heart and pretended to be a little disgusted: "You think too much, we are just friends."
Su Cheng: “…”
How can she be so greedy about her own body and yet be dishonest with her words?
