Ji Qian recalled that there was indeed a growing pit on the wooden threshold at the entrance of their orphanage dormitory building, which became one of the seven strange stories in the orphanage at the time.
"That was caused by you hitting your head?!"
"That's right! I just analyzed it, and the main reason I bumped into something back then was because the rope was tied in the wrong place."
I've strapped it around my neck now. When you run, it'll pull my head up so I won't bump into anything!
Looking at Xu Qi's cheerful face, Ji Qian felt that although his logic seemed reasonable at first glance, it seemed to hide some bugs that she had overlooked.
Ji Qian didn't have time to think carefully, because they had already walked up to the two ghosts.
Chunhua, still lying in Wang Dahai's arms, looked up at the two of them and immediately blushed: "Oh! How embarrassing!!" she cried out as she closed her eyes and tried to burrow into Wang Dahai's arms.
Wang Dahai glanced at Ji Qian and Xu Qi, then lowered his head to hug Chunhua, and said angrily, "You city folks are really dirty!"
My silence was deafening.
Can't they see their own reflection?
To be honest, I admire Xu Qi's thought process!
No wonder Ji Qian was so adept at catching him; she'd been dragging him around since he was little.
[A powerful female boss and a cute, innocent-looking young man, so adorable!]
[Hey, don't ship everything!]
[Taking all sorts of supplements will only make my nutrition more balanced!]
Ji Qian felt as if a piece of her integrity had shattered.
But so much had happened today that she was too lazy to explain, so she simply cut to the chase:
"Chunhua, could you also briefly recount your life story?"
"I waile, I waile, I was alive before I died~" Chunhua started crying again after only a few words, and Ji Qian felt like her head was about to explode.
Seeing that Chunhua was not cooperating, Ji Qian was about to take out her weapon and threaten her again when she heard a familiar scream from beside her. Ji Qian turned around and saw Xu Qi with a pale face, his finger pointing forward and trembling.
Ji Qian looked in the direction he was pointing, and a charred, hideous ghost face appeared right in front of her!
Without a second thought, Ji Qian turned and ran. She sprinted all the way to the front hall and only stopped when she saw Han Mengyao.
Let's rewind to fifteen minutes ago.
Han Mengyao carried the half brick she had collected along the way and ran all the way to the front yard, where she saw Ying Xu standing in the center of the living room on the first floor.
Han Mengyao didn't rush forward to speak. Instead, she carefully adjusted to a defensive posture before finally asking, "Ying Xu, are you alright?"
Ying Xu turned his head stiffly, his expression indifferent, as if he were not alive: "Ah, Sister Meng, I'm fine."
When he opened his mouth, Han Mengyao could clearly see the inside of his mouth, which was covered with scars and where the flesh was even stuck together.
Han Mengyao dared not make any rash moves, and even casually struck up a conversation with the other party:
"Ji Qian said you asked her to do it. When did you become so familiar with her?"
Han Mengyao pretended to be jealous, and to make it seem more realistic, she even added a slightly affected tone of voice, which she hadn't used in a long time. Han Mengyao felt like she was about to vomit.
[My god, what kind of renaissance is this?! Has the queen of pop, with her signature high-pitched voice, made a comeback?!]
[Thanks to the unknown ghost on the other side, I was able to hear Mengmeng's clip-like voice again.]
[Waaaaah, what have I done to deserve hearing the actress's voice?]
[Isn't Han Mengyao known for her sweet image? Why is she so excited about picking up fans?]
【Being sweet doesn't mean you're a slut, what kind of twisted logic is that!】
[Don't get excited, let me explain. Yao Yao's former company created a baby-voiced, pretty-boy persona for her, which led to her becoming infamous from the moment she debuted. She was criticized for several years until she signed with a new company.]
Therefore, we at Lullaby strongly object to people saying that sweet girls have a "cracked" voice.
Wait a minute, isn't anyone concerned about whether Ying Xu lives or dies?!
[Just came from Ying Xu's live stream. He's locked under the assistant director's bed, he's perfectly safe.]
[Hey, you call this safety???]
[As long as the assistant director doesn't lie down on it, it's safe.]
Seeing Han Mengyao's reaction, the other party indeed fell for it: "No, I have nothing to do with her, don't make wild guesses."
Han Mengyao sensed that Ying Xu's voice was much hoarser than before, and he probably wouldn't last much longer. She had to act quickly!
Han Mengyao pretended to walk towards Ying Xu, but actually moved to a position closer to the obstruction before speaking again:
"Hmph, you always try to coax me like this. Last time you said you'd wear the necklace I gave you forever, but you didn't wear it today!"
Han Mengyao could sense that the other person was becoming noticeably more impatient as soon as she spoke, but she still managed to suppress her anger and replied, "I can't wear it for the show, I left it in my bedroom."
"I don't believe you unless you come to me with the necklace in three minutes." Han Mengyao gripped the brick in her hand tightly, ready for the other party to suddenly attack.
But to her surprise, the fake 'Ying Xu' actually turned around and headed towards the bedroom.
Han Mengyao didn't know where he had locked Ying Xu up. What if he was going back to harm Ying Xu? That would be terrible!
Thinking this, Han Mengyao suddenly threw the brick in her hand to the left. Seeing that Ying Xu's attention was drawn to it, she took out the half of the machete she had picked up earlier and threw it directly at Ying Xu.
Although Han Mengyao aimed for the other person's head, she didn't have enough strength, and the machete started to fall halfway, eventually only scratching Ying Xu's calf.
After being scratched, Ying Xu suddenly turned around and looked at Han Mengyao, his bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent. Han Mengyao subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that the other party had just disappeared from the spot.
Han Mengyao froze on the spot, not yet able to come to her senses, when she heard Ji Qian's panting voice behind her: "Huff, Sister Meng, huff, what are you doing?"
Han Mengyao briefly explained what had happened, only then noticing that Ji Qian was dragging a struggling black figure behind her. She took two steps forward to get a better look:
"What is that... Oh my god, Xu Qi?! Help!!"
