Mu Tiantian didn't know how long she had slept before she was woken up by a cell phone ringing.
She answered the phone groggily, "Who is it?"
"Miss Mu, you haven't come over for so long. Did you get scared away by a ghost?" A familiar teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.
Mu Tiantian became more sober and remembered her bet with Mu Yu.
She quickly got out of bed, found her backpack, and took out several yellow talisman balls to examine them closely. Each yellow talisman ball was surrounded by a small amount of black mist of varying shades.
"Luckily, I made it in time." She breathed a sigh of relief.
These yellow talismans are from the ghosts collected in the hotel. The talismans can eliminate some of their external resentment. Once the resentment has been absorbed by the talismans, their obsessions will be resolved, allowing them to reincarnate peacefully without regrets.
In this world, there is no such thing as an underworld where the ghosts of the dead are reincarnated.
Once those ghosts have fulfilled their wishes, they will have the idea of rebirth, and then automatically seek out pregnant women or women about to give birth, and their souls will enter the mother's body to begin a new life.
Mu Tiantian told Mu Yu that she would be there soon, and then hung up the phone.
"What are you doing?"
Huo Jixiu's question came from behind.
Mu Tiantian briefly recounted the bet she made with Mu Yu, and also gave him a general account of the two years since he woke up in the hospital. Finally, she asked, "Do you remember?"
Huo Jixiu feigned confusion and shook his head.
Seeing this, Mu Tiantian didn't ask any more questions, thinking to herself that she might try hypnosis again sometime, as it might be effective.
She called Yang Han and asked him to buy her a women's outfit and a silk scarf.
After Yang Han arrived, Mu Tiantian helped Huo Jixiu get dressed and helped him into his wheelchair, then asked him to go outside and get her clothes.
Before leaving, Mu Tiantian instructed, "Yang Han is your personal assistant. He's been with you for several years. I don't know him well, so please don't scare him."
Back when she was taking orders to exorcise ghosts and interacting with clients, if a man got even a little too close to her, she would scare him to death.
Later, through a combination of persuasion and coercion, he stopped doing it.
Just last night, Yang Han called to inquire about her situation at the villa. Upon hearing a man's voice, Huo Jixiu became extremely agitated, putting on a very enthusiastic show, and even threatening to kill Yang Han.
Although Huo Jixiu's emotions stabilized considerably after wearing the Buddhist beads, she was still a little worried and quickly reminded him.
Huo Jixiu gave a faint "hmm" and remotely controlled his wheelchair to leave the bedroom.
When Yang Han saw him, he remembered the embarrassing voice he had heard on the phone last night. Before he could even think of anything else, Huo Jixiu roared angrily, warning him not to call again or he would kill him. Then came the sound of the phone being smashed on the ground, and the call was cut off.
This series of actions terrified Yang Han, who dared not think of anything and was still a little scared when he saw Huo Jixiu.
However, Huo Jixiu seemed to be the same as usual, with an indifferent expression, neither happy nor angry.
Adhering to his duties as an assistant, Yang Han still asked with concern, "Mr. Huo, what happened last night? Where is Miss Mu?"
Why didn't he come out to pick up the clothes I asked him to buy?
Huo Jixiu glanced at him indifferently, took the bag, and said indifferently, "It's nothing, don't ask."
After saying that, he turned his wheelchair and entered the elevator.
Yang Han looked up at the second floor and saw Huo Jixiu taking clothes back to his bedroom.
So, Mr. Huo came down personally to get clothes for Miss Mu?
So what he actually heard on the phone last night was...
Yang Han blushed.
No wonder Mr. Huo was so angry; it turns out he made the call at the wrong time.
But isn't Miss Mu Gu Yichen's girlfriend?
Could it be that his CEO, Mr. Huo, stole her away?
The relationships are so complicated...
Mu Tiantian covered herself up quite thoroughly before going to Yusheng Building.
After entering Mu Yu's company, it seemed like all the employees were looking at her.
She could also hear the employees whispering among themselves.
Is it her?
"That's her. Wasn't she with Young Master Gu last time?"
"She is indeed prettier than the women Gu Shao has dated before, but she is no less beautiful than Jiang Han."
"It's just that her singing is terrible."
"Indeed, my chickens crow much louder than her."
Hearing the voices, Mu Tiantian looked over at the employees sitting in the rest area. They quickly changed the subject, chatting about where to go for fun after get off work.
She sensed something was off about what the group was saying.
She sang in a bar in Han Muqi City, so how did they know she sang badly?
Were these employees also present?
Mu Tiantian had some doubts, but it wasn't impossible.
Without thinking much, she got on the elevator.
Mu Yu had been waiting for her in the office for a long time.
He took out a small box, which contained all the ghosts he had collected at Lixing Water Garden, and there seemed to be about twenty of them.
Mu Yu took off the counting bracelet and handed it to Han Mu Ning for judgment.
Mu Tiantian also taught her how to make the bracelet.
Han Muning calculated for a while and then said, "From the time you start using the yellow talisman until you capture the ghost into the talisman, the average time it takes to capture one ghost is... the same for both of you."
Mu Yu had anticipated this outcome and said, "Next is to perform rituals to guide the dead and slay evil spirits, you understand?"
"Nonsense, why would I have come if I didn't understand?" Mu Tiantian also took out the ghosts she had collected and placed them in front of him.
The act of performing a ritual to help the deceased find peace is to fulfill the wishes of ordinary ghosts, allowing their souls to be reborn in a better place.
Slaying evil spirits refers to evil spirits that have committed serious sins both in life and after death, and these spirits must be dispersed.
Although this world can defeat evil spirits to the point of annihilation, it does not mean that they will completely disappear.
After the ghost dissipates, it becomes a spirit, somewhat similar to the situation in other worlds where ghosts do not exist, where people retain their spirit after death.
In this world, if a ghost disperses and becomes a spirit, it might be absorbed by a pregnant woman and thus be reborn, or absorbed by animals and plants and become their nutrients, thus gaining spiritual energy.
If one is unlucky, one's spirit will gradually weaken and dissipate over time, eventually becoming one with nature and existing in another form.
Mu Yu nodded and said, "I have prepared two rooms for you and me to perform the rituals for the deceased. Starting from the time we enter the room, the time will be calculated until all the deceased have been liberated. Then, the average time taken to liberate each ghost will be calculated, and the person who takes the shortest time wins."
"Sure." Mu Tiantian had no problem with it at all.
"Mu Ning, start the timer after we go inside."
"Okay!" Han Mu Ning was extremely excited, and even began to fantasize about the scene of Mu Yu calling her master in a humble voice.
It was finally her turn to exploit him.
Thinking of this, Han Muning couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Before Mu Yu even entered the room, she heard her unrestrained laughter. She turned around, glared at her, and called out in a low voice, "Han, Mu, Ning..."
Han Muning realized she had lost her composure, quickly suppressed her smile, and shouted seriously, "Start the timer."
Just as Mu Tiantian was about to turn the doorknob, Mu Yu suddenly offered his congratulations, "Miss Mu, I heard you and President Gu are getting married soon. Congratulations! Don't forget to invite me to your wedding banquet."
Mu Tiantian was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, "Who told you that?"
Mu Yu smiled slightly and swaggered confidently into the Du Ling room.
Mu Tiantian stood outside the door, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
How could that be?
