Seeing Ji Qian's dark expression, Director Liu's rising anger suddenly subsided, but to save face, he still tried his best to explain:
"Teacher Ji, you have to believe me. There really was a monster impersonating you trying to trick us into opening the door."
"Oh, so you're letting the monster reveal the truth? What do you expect him to reveal? His cause of death?"
Seeing that his little scheme had been exposed, Director Liu had no choice but to change the subject:
"Let's not talk about that for now. You just said that Teacher Han fainted?"
Out of consideration for Han Mengyao, Ji Qian did not pursue the matter further with him.
"Okay, could you please have one of the doctors in the team come and take a look? Xu Qi, could you come and take a look too?"
Xu Qi was still huddled in the corner, his hands tightly covering his ears, looking completely oblivious to what was happening around him.
Ji Qian stepped forward and pulled Xu Qi up from the ground.
Sensing a familiar force coming from behind, Xu Qi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed:
"Why didn't you tell me you were back? Huh, why is the door broken?"
"The assistant director was so excited when he came back that he accidentally broke the door."
Ji Qian said this without batting an eye, and even glanced at the assistant director with a slightly warning look.
[Sister Qian...do you still remember when you were livestreaming?]
[High-definition footage of the frame-up, as expected of you!]
Why did this live stream take so long?
[Oh right, the live stream used to end after 8 PM.]
[Didn't you guys see the official Weibo post? It says that due to the special nature of this operation, it will be live-streamed the entire time, except when sleeping.]
[What kind of talk is that? Why can't you stream while you're sleeping?!]
[Yeah! It would be best to do a fan giveaway too. I'm not afraid of ghosts, so I can sleep between Sister Qian and Qiqi to protect them, hehe.]
[Go to sleep now, you can dream about anything.]
The doctor was squatting on the ground taking Han Mengyao's blood pressure. They had just checked her pulse and breathing and found nothing abnormal, but for some reason Han Mengyao's brows were furrowed and she looked like she was in a lot of pain.
"Ji Qian, why do I have a feeling that Sister Meng... seems to be bewitched?"
Just as the accompanying doctor was at a loss and was about to announce that the patient should be sent to the hospital, Xu Qi came over.
Xu Qi glanced at it and quickly made a judgment based on his rich experience in encountering evil spirits.
"Huh? Wait a minute, let me take a look."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian moved closer. The poor lighting in the corridor had prevented her from clearly seeing Han Mengyao's state until now, when she finally saw Han Mengyao's strange expression.
"Oh no, it really is possessed by a nightmare!"
Almost the instant she finished speaking, Ji Qian straddled Han Mengyao, her right hand raised high, about to strike Han Mengyao's face, when Mi Yesi quickly stopped her.
"Ji Qian, are you crazy?!"
"Ah, isn't this how you treat someone who's been possessed by a nightmare?"
Ji Qian felt her hands being held tightly by Mi Yesi. She looked at the other person with an innocent expression, her big eyes filled with confusion.
Xu Qi, who was closest to the two, was so startled by Ji Qian's actions that his voice cracked:
"Who told you that this is how you cure a nightmare?!"
"Your master!"
Ji Qian also felt wronged. She had always believed that practice makes perfect, and this was the most effective exorcism method she had ever used.
"You were possessed by nightmares so many times back then, and I always had to slap you awake. Have you forgotten all of that?"
"..."
Xu Qi suddenly felt a dull pain in his cheeks.
Due to his physical condition, every time he had an accident, it was very serious, and he would often lose his memory of the incident after waking up.
Before Ji Qian revealed the secret, he always thought he had been awakened by normal exorcism methods.
[Thanks to Mi Yesi for saving Yao Yao]
[Dreamcatcher hereby announces that Miyesi is now my object of affection!]
[Hahaha, Xu Qi's pupils are shaking like crazy!]
[Xu Qi – The Years I Was Beaten Up by My Childhood Friend]
[I have a bold guess: could Xu Qi have been driven insane by Ji Qian's beating?]
[Possibly. Judging from Ji Qian's skill level, she's probably practiced at least eight or ten times.]
[This was the first time I'd seen Xu Qi so helpless; I felt incredibly sorry for him.]
Enough! I feel sorry for him.
【Sister Qianqian, come and hit me! I'm really tough!】
[Get out, you pervert!]
Xu Qi silently made a mental note of his master's name, then resignedly walked to his suitcase and pulled out two talismans.
Before he could even walk back to Han Mengyao's side, he saw Ji Qian sidling up to him with eyes gleaming with greed:
"Oh, you brought this too? How many did you bring?"
Almost instinctively, Xu Qi quickly stuffed the talisman back into his pocket, glaring at Ji Qian with a wary expression.
What do you want to do?!
"I thought the production team would have prepared some, so I didn't bring any. I didn't expect the production team to be so unreliable. Could you lend me a few?"
Ji Qian spoke politely, but her hand had already stealthily reached out. Xu Qi dodged Ji Qian's hand with a quick movement, ruthlessly thwarting the other party's idea of stealing the talisman:
"I only brought these two. The rest are blessed amulets, so they can't be used by others."
After saying that, Xu Qi took the talisman paper and walked to the production crew to begin preparing to make talisman water.
Under Xu Qi's instructions, Ji Qian applied talisman water to Han Mengyao's hands, feet, and forehead. After a short while, Han Mengyao's expression became much calmer.
Seeing this, Ji Qian breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Director Liu and discussed the matter:
"Sister Meng probably won't wake up today. I think everyone is tired, so let's make the beds and rest early."
