There were thunder and lightning over the apartment, and the wind was howling. It was obvious that a storm was brewing.

Five people and four ghosts gathered on the corridor. At first glance, it seemed that they were performing some strange ritual.

Lai Chengshan, who was sitting on the ground, was muttering something, and with the thunder outside the window, it seemed that he had some real skills.

F4 originally thought so, and even considered whether to ask Lu Xu for help, fearing that this man could really exorcise ghosts. However, the ghosts were sleepy after hearing his chanting, and their bodies did not react at all. I think they were no different from those fake masters who deceived the world and stole their reputations.

Ji Xiunian naturally saw F4's reaction, and he couldn't help but be more suspicious of Lai Chengshan.

He wanted to ask him a few questions, but Lai Chengshan was still performing his own exorcism ritual. Unable to determine whether he was a liar or not, Ji Xiunian had to hold back, thinking that he would speak after he finished.

It was the first time for Fan Zeng and the assistant to see such a scene, and they were half-believing and half-doubting Fan Zeng. However, with the atmosphere and Lai Chengshan's celebrity aura, the two of them gradually began to believe that he could exorcise ghosts.

After five minutes, Lai Chengshan finally opened his eyes.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took a long breath, and slowly stood up.

Fan Zeng had been holding back and not saying anything, fearing that he would disturb the master's exorcism ritual. Seeing him stand up, they couldn't help but rush up to ask, "Master Lai, how are they? Have they been sent away?"

Lai Chengshan didn't answer immediately, but instead recounted his difficult experience of defeating the enemy just now: "You don't know, those ghosts were extremely fierce, their resentment was extremely deep and they stayed for too long, they almost swallowed my soul. Fortunately, I have profound skills, otherwise it would really be a big deal..."

F4 was not happy when they heard it.

There were only four ghosts living in the apartment. Isn't Lai Chengshan's words wrongly accusing the ghosts in person?

"Nonsense, full of lies, how are we fierce?"

"This is obviously a scam, trying to trick ghosts?"

"No, I feel I can't stand this grievance, and even want to show him how fierce it is."

"Brother, calm down, we are civilized ghosts, we can't do such illegal and disorderly things..."

Lu Xu just wanted to laugh when listening to the nonsense of Master Lai. He not only thought about it, but also laughed out loud in the end.

Few people talked in the empty corridor, and because of this, Lu Xu's laughter was more obvious.

Lai Chengshan just created an atmosphere and talked about the hardships of exorcising ghosts. However, what awaited him was not tribute and thanks, but Lu Xu's hearty laughter. Then he looked at the young man with a smile on his face, and he looked at him with a teasing look in his eyes: "I think the surname should not be Lai, but Jia."

Lai Chengshan reacted instantly, his face flushed: "What do you mean by that?"

"Master, you should know what I mean." Lu Xu saw that he was angry and embarrassed, but he was not in a hurry, just gave F4 a look: "I just want to ask you one question, is the ghost really sent away?"

"That's for sure, are you doubting me by saying this?" The calmer Lu Xu's face was, the more anxious Lai Chengshan became. He thought that this man was just a kid, how could he have the qualifications to question himself.

"Master Lai, I have a question for you." Ji Xiunian walked forward, his face expressionless, no emotion could be seen, "How many ghosts did you just send away?"

Facing Ji Xiunian's scrutinizing eyes, Lai Chengshan was somewhat flustered. He didn't sweat when he was exorcising ghosts, but now that they were forcing him to question him, Lai Chengshan felt that he was sweating all over: "There are many ghosts in the apartment, I sent away four or five evil ghosts. It's normal to have one or two left occasionally, you can't just kill them all at once."

The person who just shouted outside that he wanted to kill all the undead in the apartment, now said that he would send away the bad ones and keep the good ones. There is a contradiction, no logic, and obviously there is a problem.

Even Fan Zeng, who had begun to trust him, now had that little trust in him that was in jeopardy and faced the danger of collapse: "Master Lai, is it really okay to leave it behind? You haven't communicated with ghosts, so how do you know which ones are good and which ones are bad? What if the ghosts left behind are evil ghosts?"

Lai Chengshan was getting more and more annoyed by the distrustful looks all around him. He had a feeling of uneasiness when he went out today. If he had known earlier, he should not have taken this job.

"I said that the ghosts sent away were evil ghosts. Why do you doubt me?" Lai Chengshan insisted that he was right. They couldn't go and find out who he had sent away.

"Besides, if it's evil spirits that stay, can we still stand here peacefully?"

Lu Xu raised one eyebrow when he heard this, and gave He Xinghua an instruction without making a sound.

"The evil spirits are coming..." He Xinghua was very excited after receiving the instruction from the God of Death. He immediately flew to the switch and concentrated his mind to open and close it.

Seeing this, Tao Yingbo was not to be outdone, and shook the door of the stairwell so that it creaked.

The other two members ran to knock on the window, and the other screamed like a ghost.

For a while, the lights in the corridor flickered. The howling wind, lightning and thunder, plus the weird atmosphere around, made people feel that something bad was about to happen here.

Lai Chengshan was really panicked when he saw this.

In fact, he is not an exorcist at all, and he can't see ghosts and spirits. He

is 70 years old but has a face of 40 or 50 years old. This alone makes him look like a master. If he finds a few young stars with good prospects to guide him, as long as one of them becomes popular, he can help him gain fame.

After a few group photos, his fans will naturally grow.

It is not difficult to become a hype master. You just need to use your brain and have a little luck.

People usually ask him to exorcise ghosts. Lai Chengshan tried to take a few orders and found that most of the time it is not the ghosts but the human heart that are causing trouble. If there is a ghost in the human heart, just use your mouth to firmly say that it has been sent away, and there will be basically no problems later.

Besides, those who can afford to hire him are basically rich people, and they won’t always live in a haunted house with so many houses.

He can deal with fake ghosts, and real ghosts can deal with the victims. In short, he never fails when the door is closed.

Lai Chengshan took every step carefully and slowly built up a master persona for himself.

He didn’t think he was cheating, but a "psychology master" in the guise of metaphysics. He

originally thought that "The Birth of an Idol" was quite popular, and he could stir up some heat when he came back. On the way here, he had already thought of the hot search title, and the only thing left was to contact the marketing company to operate it.

But he could imagine that the situation here was not something he could control at all.

Lu Xu obviously didn't trust him. From the moment he came in, he spoke with a sharp tone and always sang the opposite tune.

If there were no ghosts, they could still smooth things over, but looking at the current situation in the apartment, it was obvious that there was an evil spirit at work.

They already suspected themselves, and they didn't know if the evil spirits would haunt them. Just thinking about it made him feel overwhelmed.

Lai Chengshan really regretted coming here, and he didn't want to stay any longer at this moment: "I have done what I should do, and it is up to you whether you believe it or not. Since the cooperation is not pleasant, why force each other? It's better to go our separate ways."

Lai Chengshan said this and was about to run away. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Lu Xu.

Fan Zeng wanted to keep him, but the other party slipped away very quickly, as if something terrible was chasing him from behind. A man in his seventies ran faster than a rabbit. When Fan Zeng chased him to the stairs, he disappeared and didn't catch up with him.

What's interesting is that as soon as Lai Chengshan left, the apartment would return to normal.

Fan Zeng panted and couldn't help but sigh: "You know what, whether this Master Lai has real skills or not, his physical fitness is really good."

"Yeah." Lu Xu nodded on the side. How can he not be in good health after stealing other people's lives?

"What should we do now that he ran away?" The little assistant looked at the corridor in panic, fearing that a ghost face would suddenly appear at any time.

He Xinghua leaned against the wall with an innocent look on his face: "We are really not evil ghosts."

"It's okay." Ji Xiunian looked at F4 and then at Fan Zeng and the others, and felt that he had just experienced a farce today. Instead of letting those who don't know panic, it's better to explain it clearly as soon as possible.

"Really?" The assistant couldn't help but worry, but seeing Ji Xiunian's calm expression, he felt relieved.

Fan Zeng didn't expect that today's events would turn out like this. Thinking of Lai Chengshan's attitude and performance, there was nothing he didn't understand: "I'll call my friend now to introduce him to someone. What kind of person is this? What kind of bullshit master is this? He's obviously a liar."

Fan Zeng was indignant and wanted to immediately reveal Lai Chengshan's true face to the public. But he didn't want to make a big deal about the ghost in the apartment, so he was a little confused for a while: "Xiunian, are those...really all gone?"

Ji Xiunian nodded: "Yes."

F4 only wanted to practice and had no time to stir up trouble.

As for the female ghost, we can only wait until the next time we meet to see the situation.

"That's fine." Hearing him say this, Fan Zeng felt a little relieved. Then he thought of Lai Chengshan, and couldn't help but curse him a few more times as a "liar".

However, before he could expose the liar's behavior to his friends, the assistant had already shouted in surprise: "Brother Fan, that liar cue our Lu Xu on Weibo..."

"What's going on?"

When Fan Zeng heard this, his first reaction was that something was wrong. He took the phone and found that Lai Chengshan actually mentioned Lu Xu's name -

the reason was that someone asked him if he had watched "The Birth of an Idol" and asked him how he saw Lu Xu, the dark horse contestant.

@Lu Xu debuted today: @Master Lai with infinite merit V: Master Lai, have you watched "The Birth of an Idol" recently? Can you help my son @Idol Newborn Lu Xu V see if he can always walk on the flower path?

Two days have passed since the netizen posted this question on Weibo, but Lai Chengshan has not responded.

However, just two minutes ago, he edited and forwarded this question and gave an answer -

@功德无量賴大師V: I never watch variety shows like talent shows, but I am still good at predicting the results. First of all, I have to make it clear that I have never met this player before. But judging from his appearance, I am not optimistic about his future. There is a saying that "the body is the capital of revolution", but players like this don't look like they will live long. A kind reminder to cherish the present, and if you really can't do it, quit the competition and do something you like, and try not to leave any regrets for yourself.
