"Huh? This place... it feels kind of familiar."
Looking at the desolate, dilapidated land in front of him, which even reeked of a foul stench, Yu Ling couldn't help but frown. His pure yang body was naturally incompatible with this kind of place, so it was normal for him to have a strong reaction.
"Brother Hongxi, is this the mass grave you mentioned? I can't tell at all!"
Yu Ling took her final, thrilling live stream to heart and even played the straight man.
Since the curtain has fallen, it must be perfect. He is now a man, so his voice can't be exactly the same as when he was a ghost. Fortunately, he can use a falsetto, so no one will notice if his voice is slightly different.
"Haha, yes, this place was the site of a war between two small countries during the [certain period]. The soldiers whose bodies were left unclaimed were abandoned here, thus forming a mass grave!"
Ji Hongxi pointed around, feigning composure. He had a feeling something was off; there were so few mosquitoes here, unlike what one would expect from a forest.
I hope I don't run into something I shouldn't have again.
As Ji Hongxi pondered this, he cautiously entered the dilapidated place.
Yu Ling followed him step by step. She also sensed the abnormality in the air, but her current human body hindered his ability to exert his power. Without using his divine soul power, this place seemed to pose no danger to him except for a bit of a stench.
"Look at that tree, isn't there a corpse hanging there?" Ji Hongxi, following the original script, suddenly pointed to a tree halfway through their walk and said this in a strange manner.
"It really is a person!" Wang Qiang shouted as he carefully moved his feet after hanging up the prop.
"Let's go take a look." Ji Hongxi said, and started walking towards the skeletons on the tree. Wang Yan and Wu An quickly stopped him, following the script, "No, we can't just touch dead people, it's too dangerous!"
"It's alright, I won't touch anything, I'm just going to take a look." Ji Hongxi smiled at her nervous expression.
"Are you really alright?"
"It's really okay." Ji Hongxi patted her shoulder. "Trust me."
\"good.\"
Wang Yan hesitated for a few seconds in front of the camera, but finally agreed.
So, Ji Hongxi and Yu Ling slowly approached the skeleton on the tree, but when they got closer, they discovered that it was not a corpse at all, but a wooden skeleton doll dressed in white.
However, to the viewers in the live stream, it was just a real skeleton.
The fake skull had a bloody eyeball staring wide-open at them.
[Ah! What is this thing? It's terrifying!]
[Ahhh! Help! That's terrifying! That's terrifying!]
[I am so surprised!]
[...]
The viewers in the live stream were terrified and started sending screams and comments.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'll go up and see what it looks like. Relax..." Ji Hongxi chuckled to himself as he saw the audience's reaction in the live stream. This tactic always worked.
The highlight of this live stream will be when he pretends to be scared, acts like he's possessed by a ghost and goes on a crazy chase with his teammates.
"Be careful!" Wang Yan reminded Ji Hongxi.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Ji Hongxi nodded.
"I'm going up!" Ji Hongxi winked at the camera, then took a step and carefully stepped onto the smelly and dirty muddy ground, slowly walking forward.
After acting out the themes of curiosity, shock, fear, and possession, Ji Hongxi had just put his foot back on the ground and was waiting for his teammates to realize something was wrong when he heard a series of retching sounds coming from behind him.
He glanced back and saw it was Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang's face was pale, his eyes bulging strangely, and his lips trembled as he said, "I...I can't stand this smell anymore, this place is too unbearable, I have to leave, ahhh, ahhh."
It was just another hallucination.
Wang Qiang has known him for so long and has never backed down. He's just naturally a bit slow on the uptake and doesn't know what fear is. How could he back down just because of the taste?
Looking at the others, they all exhibited various strange phenomena that were inconsistent with their personalities to varying degrees.
Only the viewers in the live stream were unaffected. At that moment, they saw the large group of people suddenly move away in fear and disperse.
Yu Ling now understands what it feels like for ordinary people to be affected by ghosts. Her vision and hearing are greatly obscured, and only her mental power can see through all illusions. Now, with two double images, one real and one fake, right in front of her, she feels strangely dizzy.
Although we didn't expect things to go wrong so quickly, the opportunity was presented to us, so we had no choice but to take advantage of everyone's incoherent state and stage a 'mishap' that was relatively friendly to Ji Hongxi and the others in front of the camera.
Ji Hongxi was one of the lucky ones who remained relatively rational, but with communication proving ineffective, he struggled to direct everyone's cooperation and had no idea what the real situation would be like. So he simply followed his own script, acting as he went, while also interacting with the camera.
However, in the illusion, everyone ignored the uneven muddy ground under their feet, and Han was completely wrong about the direction. Unbeknownst to them, the leader, Ji Hongxi, turned the planned route around the center of the mass grave into a large spiral circle, constantly moving closer to the center.
In the very center of the mass grave is a bottomless pit, a wonder formed by geological evolution over many years. Whether there's a story behind it or not, without any real benefit, those who discovered it have no intention of filling in this dangerous place that few people set foot in.
So, under Yu Ling's deliberate arrangement, she pretended to want to turn Ji Hongxi, who had "become a ghost," back into the form of a ghost, and pulled him back from the fall. Then, she herself slipped and fell, leaving behind only a pink-cased fruit phone.
The live chat exploded.
This doesn't seem like acting at all!
They can distinguish between watching a show and a real incident. Before the live stream was banned for dangerous content, many kind-hearted people had already called the police and ambulances.
The phone has GPS tracking, so even if Ji Hongxi didn't tell the viewers in the live stream where they were broadcasting, the police could quickly locate the phone and arrive at the scene.
The righteous police officers, with their inherent protective aura, immediately dispelled the illusionary magnetic field left by the ghosts upon their arrival, bringing Ji Hongxi's reckless Xi'an team back to their senses.
"Police officer?!" Zhou Qi was still holding a camera in his hand. He was not talkative and had just escaped the illusion when he received such a big shock that he stammered.
