Ji Qian handed the "Precautions for Using Paper Dolls" that she had written during the meeting to Madam Qian, and then walked out of the room.
Seeing Ji Qian leave, Xu Qi, who had been slumped on the ground just a second ago, quickly got up and followed.
"Their memories are amazing!" Ji Qian heard Mi Yesi's soft exclamation as she stepped out of the room, but she didn't immediately understand: "Huh?"
"It happened hundreds of years ago, and they still remember it so clearly! I wish I could have such a memory when I'm filming."
Seeing Mi Yesi's envious expression, Ji Qian shattered her fantasy without hesitation:
"Stop dreaming. This is because most of a ghost's memories are from before it died, and its memories after death will become blurry in a very short time."
If you don't believe me, ask them how many people have come here in the past few hundred years; they definitely won't be able to answer that.
"Oh." Seeing Mi Yesi's disappointed expression, Ji Qian felt a little sorry for her, so she gently comforted her, "It's okay, you can try dying once, what if you're the exception?"
Thank you, you know how to comfort people.
Given Mi Yesi's intelligence, I'm actually a little worried about her trying it.
[If we actually try it, could we do a live stream? I'm quite curious too.]
[Hey, you can't be curious about this!]
It's alright, everyone dies eventually, some deaths are as light as a feather, others as light as another feather. At least dying like this still retains some scientific spirit.
Is this how the term "scientific research spirit" is used?!
Logically, Han Mengyao and her group should have finished earlier than Ji Qian, but Ji Qian didn't see them until she got downstairs.
Ji Qian waited in the courtyard for a while, but when no one came back, she had no choice but to call the other two to walk to the backyard.
The situation then changed, and Mi Yesi, who had been hiding behind Ji Qian, became the leader of the group. Ji Qian and Xu Qi followed behind her, leaning on each other.
Mi Yesi turned to look at Ji Qian, who was a good eight feet away behind her. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked the question that had puzzled many netizens:
Are you afraid of ghosts or not?
Thank you, Mi Yesi, my mouth double!
Ji Qian is really confusing. Just when I think she's a tank, she turns out to be as timid as a mouse.
But her shaking looked so real, it couldn't be acting, right?
Don't forget, she's an actress!
Come on, if Ji Qian's acting were really that good, wouldn't she have remained unknown for so many years?
[I'm determined!]
But she can be really brave sometimes! Look, the other two didn't dare to come in just now.
Is this some kind of new type of retractable bladder?
What, have humans secretly evolved again behind my back?
This should be considered a regression, right?
[Brave warriors ahead, be careful, Sister Qian might visit you in your dreams in the middle of the night!]
Thanks for the reminder, I'm already prepared to keep one eye on guard duty.
Faced with this unexpected question, Ji Qian pondered for a moment before giving a rather rigorous answer:
"To be precise, I'm afraid of anything that suddenly appears." Perhaps feeling that this answer was a bit vague, Ji Qian added, "For example, today's Old Madam Qian is a fixed NPC. I'm only frightened by the first time I meet someone like that."
Miyesi felt like she understood, but not completely.
However, she didn't plan to press the matter further, since they were still recording a show, and she didn't want to make herself seem unintelligent.
Does anyone understand? Please explain!
[I'm the kind of person who's easily startled. My brother is like that. Once, I hid behind a door and almost scared him out of his wits.]
Yes, yes, my sister is like that too. Anything that suddenly appears, even a bird, can scare her senseless.
[Commonly known as being easily startled]
[Does anyone in my family understand this? I was just browsing the internet and was diagnosed with a condition that makes me easily startled.]
The courtyard that Han Mengyao and the others went to was very large, with several rooms.
Since Zhao Chengyuan didn't say which room the hidden compartment was found in, Ji Qian and the others had to search room by room.
Even after searching the last room, Ji Qian and the others did not see anyone else.
"Why don't we go back to the restaurant first? It's almost noon, they'll have to come back for lunch eventually."
It was still summer, and Miyesi couldn't handle such high-intensity exercise, so she suggested that she go home.
Ji Qian thought about it for a moment and felt that what she said made sense. So she agreed.
Even after all the dishes in the restaurant were served and Director Liu emerged from his office to take charge, Han Mengyao and the others still hadn't returned.
This is the second disappearance during the recording.
Compared to the first unexpected situation, Director Liu was clearly much more flustered this time, after all, three guests had gone missing at once.
Director Liu hurriedly directed the staff to retrieve the video footage, only to discover that since Han Mengyao and the other two entered the Central Courtyard that morning, the security cameras in the courtyard had been damaged by unknown factors and had not recorded anything.
At this moment, the staff in charge of the live broadcast also sent back a message:
"Just a second before Teacher Ji entered the courtyard, our screen showed Teacher Han, Teacher Zhao, and Teacher Ying chatting inside the house, and everything seemed normal."
Director Liu is also stunned. In all his years as a director, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
Seeing that all eyes were on her, Ji Qian gritted her teeth and made a bold decision:
"None of you follow me. I'll go to that courtyard by myself."
After speaking, Ji Qian pulled Director Liu aside and asked him to prepare some necessary props for her.
With things having progressed to this point, Ji Qian became Director Liu's only lifeline, and he naturally granted her every request.
Sure enough, a short while later, the assistant director brought over the props that Ji Qian needed.
Although Ji Qian didn't understand any Buddhist or Taoist arts, she had extensive practical experience in how to harm ghosts.
Carrying the torch and straw prepared by Director Liu, Ji Qian arrived at the entrance of the central courtyard, lit the straw, and threw it directly into the courtyard. Thick smoke instantly rose up and soon filled the entire courtyard.
Strangely, all the smoke was concentrated in the courtyard, and not a single wisp drifted outside.
As the smoke thickened, Ji Qian, standing at the entrance of the courtyard, vaguely saw what appeared to be a figure in the middle of the courtyard.
Ji Qian carefully walked in that direction, but when she reached the middle of the courtyard, she found that the figure had disappeared.
Ji Qian looked around warily, sensing that she was about to experience her first shock.
Sure enough, when Ji Qian turned around and looked back at the original spot, a charred ghost face suddenly appeared in front of her.
Ji Qian was startled and screamed as she threw a punch.
