"Just like what's being said on Weibo, the program 'Into the Truth' is undergoing a major revamp!"
I hereby announce that, except for the points, all previous clues and background information are hereby nullified!
Director Liu paused after saying this, intending to give the guests room to wail, but what he got in return was an awkward silence.
The assistant director tugged at Director Liu's sleeve, reminding him, "The last recording session was too short; they left without finding anything."
Director Liu discovered that since participating in this program, awkwardness has become an unavoidable part of his life, and he needs to learn to reconcile with it.
"Starting with this episode, we will select eight recording locations with historical significance or legendary stories. Our guests will use special tools and methods to explore, find, and piece together the truth, unveiling the mystery of these places."
These are specially designed glasses and headphones that help us communicate with our friends from another world.
The assistant director brought in five high-end leather suitcases, each containing headphones and glasses wrapped in thick cotton padding, clearly indicating their high cost.
"Huh, why are there only five?" Ying Xu counted several times and found that no matter how he counted, there would always be one person without tools.
Director Liu had been waiting for these words. Upon hearing them, he gave a wicked smile, the crooked corner of his mouth stretching his wrinkled face into a twitching motion.
"This is the second major event we want to announce!" Director Liu said, directing the camera to focus on Ji Qian.
"We are very fortunate to have Ms. Ji Qian as a regular guest on our program."
As one of the ambassadors for promoting metaphysical culture in my country, Teacher Ji Qian possesses over twenty years of rich experience in dealing with ghosts and monsters, making her a rare and exceptional talent in this new era!
[Is he talking about... that fortune teller Ji Qian?!]
[You yourself said she's a fortune teller, so it's perfectly reasonable for a fortune teller to promote metaphysics!]
Wow, Ji Qian is really something!
So it's true that she's keeping a mistress?!
Is this considered turning over a new leaf or simply retiring from the life of a criminal?
The previous statement about reading more books is clearly an attempt to appease the government!
Don't make things up without solid evidence! I support Ambassador Ji. Our little Xu is in poor health; Ambassador Ji, you must protect him!
I also think Ambassador Ji isn't that kind of person. Please take good care of my Yao Yao, Ambassador Ji! I'm rooting for Ambassador Ji!
[Don't go too far ahead.]
[Exactly, don't go too far with "Ambassador Ji." I'm different; I'll kneel down and call him "Dad!" "Dad, please take care of Brother Xu Qi!"]
[Xu Qi receives a super demotion!]
Ji Qian hadn't expected there to be such an introduction process, and her regret over signing the contract reached its peak.
Although Ji Qian did not respond, enthusiastic applause still rang out, mainly from Han Mengyao and secondarily from Xu Qi.
"In the days to come, we will continue to implement the points-based consumption system as usual."
Successfully discovering a ghost earns 5 points, successfully communicating with a ghost earns 10 points, successfully capturing any ghost earns 15 points, and subduing or exorcising a malevolent ghost earns 20 points.
Apart from that, the other points redemption standards remain the same as before. Please be careful during the investigation.
Now, teachers, please put on your glasses. We are about to switch to special lenses and officially begin our exploration!
As Director Liu finished speaking, all three guests, except for Xu Qi and Mi Yesi, eagerly put on the glasses and headphones in front of them.
Although everyone moved with equal speed, Han Mengyao was the only one who wasn't afraid.
Ying Xu and Zhao Chengyuan had never directly encountered ghosts. Although the authorities had confirmed the existence of spirits, they remained skeptical because they hadn't witnessed it firsthand.
Xu Qi is completely devastated.
He grew up with Ji Qian and had heard countless vivid descriptions of ghosts from her, but he never imagined that he would see a ghost with his own eyes.
"What are you hesitating for?! There are no ghosts in this courtyard." Xu Qi was still hesitating when Ji Qian, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back any longer and directly grabbed her glasses and shoved them in Xu Qi's face.
Ji Qian didn't see it, but Mi Yesi, who was standing on the other side, heard this and put on her glasses with peace of mind.
When they first arrived at the old house, the production team gave each of the guests a map of the old house, which roughly depicted the layout of the rooms and courtyards.
Ji Qian took out the crumpled map from her beloved little bag, laid it flat on the table, and then called over the assistant director in charge of redeeming points: "I want to redeem points!"
Ji Qian's actions drew everyone's attention. She took a pen and poked and dotted the map, drawing three circles and a question mark:
"These three circles correspond to the locations of the three ghosts, the question mark is where the ghost that possessed Miyesi escaped that day, and there's this too!"
Ji Qian took out the familiar Coke bottle, and Director Liu felt his stomach start to spasm as soon as he glanced at it.
"I personally subdued and captured this evil spirit, so I should be able to exchange it for 35 points."
Ji Qian smiled brightly, but the assistant director felt a chill run down his spine.
To be honest, they had no idea there were so many ghosts here before Ji Qian drew these places.
Xu Qi glanced over discreetly from the side and was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.
He only knew that there was an old man hanging in Ji Qian's room, but he never expected that there were so many ghosts hiding in this old house.
Finally, the assistant director gave Ji Qian 50 points, making Ji Qian the richest dog among the guests.
The dog tycoon Ji Qian was about to go back to her room to rest with the eye mask she had just redeemed when she turned around and saw Xu Qi still standing there in a daze.
