Chapter 119 The Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Sixteen) Actually, the whole...
In fact, the whole process only took them about ten minutes. Seeing that Song Yu was in good condition, Lin You tentatively asked, "Do you want to continue?"
Song Yu grabbed a bottle of mineral water, gulped down half of it, wiped his mouth clean, and said, "Let's keep going, the sooner we die, the sooner we're reborn!"
"You're helping people have more children than allowed, which is a good thing," Lin You teased seriously. Before Song Yu could refute, he released another little devil.
She released the ghosts according to their ages, from youngest to oldest. This one is now five or six years old, but unfortunately, whether due to an unstable soul or incomplete mental development, it still cannot answer questions.
Song Yu continued to stick the talisman with his eyes closed. His perception was quite high. When he stuck it out crooked, Lin You gave him a slight reminder, and he was able to find the right spot.
The second wave of imps was quickly immobilized. Song Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but secretly open her eyes a crack.
What came into view were two rows of little ghosts, neatly arranged by Lin You, with bluish-purple faces, lifeless eyes, talismans on their heads, and semi-transparent bodies.
They were still arranged in order of height, with a gap in the middle large enough for a person to pass through, as if some kind of welcoming ceremony was about to take place.
Song Yu: ………
He pursed his lips and looked at Lin You. Could it be that his great-aunt wanted to test his courage by making him stand in the middle to perform the ritual?
Lin You simply remembered that Ye Zhen had taught her the ghost control technique after returning from a secret realm in her previous life. She had never had the chance before, so now she could finally try it out.
Song Yu watched as Lin You performed a spell he couldn't understand at all, and suddenly the row of kids in front of him started clapping. Song Yu, who was trying his best to adapt, almost collapsed to the ground with weak legs.
Just like a person who is afraid of snakes, if the snake is still and frozen, he might be able to overcome his fear a little. But if the snake suddenly moves when he thinks it is already stiff, he will be scared out of his wits.
Moreover, Song Yu wasn't just one, but a whole flock.
But his great-aunt looked at him with great interest and asked, "Isn't it interesting?"
Song Yu answered very sincerely: "It's a little scary!"
Lin You couldn't understand why Song Yu, who already had a protective talisman, was still afraid of ghosts, just as she couldn't understand why Ye Zhen, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was afraid of heights.
However, she was always considerate and did not force others. She quickly stopped the children from clapping and even made them line up in a semi-circle to facilitate Song Yu's prayers.
Song Yu took a deep breath, barely managing to stop trembling so much, before taking out the talisman, quickly reciting the incantation, and closing his eyes to avoid seeing it.
At this moment, Song Yu's eagerness to learn the spells reached its peak. He was determined to memorize all the spells in the book as soon as possible so that he could use the talismans with his eyes closed in the future!
Seeing his miserable state, Lin You considerately didn't ask him if he wanted to continue. After he recovered, she even handed him a jelly.
"Your favorite orange flavor, want some to cheer yourself up?" The jelly was about half the size of an egg, crystal clear orange, with peeled orange and diced milky white coconut jelly in the middle.
Song Yu swallowed hard, took the jelly from Lin You's hand, and buried his head in eating it.
Since entering the entertainment industry and needing to manage her figure, Song Yu has been very restrained, only eating a bite of jelly a year.
He ate the jelly in his hand in just a few bites, and seeing that he was enjoying it, Lin You handed him another one.
Song Yu ate six large jellies in one go, finishing all the orange-flavored ones, and also eating the strawberry, mango, and lychee flavored ones.
When he came to his senses, he realized with dismay that his exercise level over the past few days had probably increased tenfold.
Although Song Yu still seemed unhappy, he was no longer afraid. As for his depression, Lin You said that it was normal for a child to have some secrets as he grew up, and she was an open-minded parent who would never pry into his secrets.
The thoughtful cheat system waited until he calmed down before continuing its chatter.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully exorcised 7 Level 1 ghosts and 3 Level 2 ghosts, earning 1300 points.]
[Ding! Host, you possess both courage and wisdom; please keep up the good work!]
[Ding! The system shop has unlocked Tier 2 items. Please check carefully.]
[Ding! Side quest activated: Draw one beginner-level talisman. Reward: 1 intermediate-level Soul-Suppressing Bell.]
[Ding! ………]
The voice rang directly in his mind, and it was so loud that Song Yu was completely numb from the noise and couldn't even care less about being annoyed.
Is his "golden finger" a result of translation errors after crossing worlds, a lack of Chinese proficiency, or simply a deliberate attempt to satirize him?
What does being brave and resourceful, possessing both wisdom and courage, have to do with him whatsoever?
Song Yu, who was quite frank about his cowardice, communicated with the cheat system for more than ten minutes, until the other party admitted to using the system template and promised to use a different word to praise him next time. The cheat system also gave him a set of basic talisman materials as compensation.
The talisman paper, talisman brush, and cinnabar were all there, exactly what he needed for his side quest. Song Yu remained silent, feeling that he had been tricked by the cheat system again.
"Were there three level-two ghosts among that group just now? I didn't notice any difference." Song Yu recalled the feeling of applying the talismans, and it all seemed to be very smooth.
"What difference could there be? They're all just little devils whose minds have been worn down. Level two is just a bit more ghostly." After Lin You finished speaking, he released another level two ghost to serve as a teaching material for Song Yu.
Well, at least Song Yu wasn't so scared when facing a child anymore, especially since Lin You had thoughtfully placed the child some distance away from him.
Around noon, Director Yu, who saw through the camera that the two of them had already sorted things out, specially came over to call them to lunch.
Then, right at the corner, he bumped into the child. If it weren't for Director Yu's agility, he would have passed right through him.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. This was Director Yu's third time doing this, so he had some experience. He carefully took two steps back, no longer walking along the shady side of the wall, but instead going around to the other side under the sun.
"Master Lin, I couldn't see these things before, how come I can see them all of a sudden? Did you open your third eye?" Director Yu wasn't really keen on having this kind of passive skill.
"Of course not. You were just bewitched before, and your body is full of yin energy. It's not easy for you to open your third eye." Even in the cultivation world, where spiritual energy is abundant, cultivators who are born with the ability to open their third eye are one in ten thousand.
Seeing Director Yu's worried look, Lin You explained a few more words, "The amulet I gave you before, you've been wearing it all along and you're fine. As for the yin energy, given how often you've been going to the scene of the incident, it's probably very difficult to get rid of it completely."
Director Yu felt that he did not want to give up his career, especially when "Traces" was still so popular.
Lin You still couldn't quite understand the idea of trading one's life for money, but she respected everyone's choice. However, Director Yu had helped her and Song Yu quite a few times, so Lin You took a spirit stone that had run out of spiritual energy and carved a small spirit-gathering array.
Spirit stones are a common currency in the cultivation world, but once a spirit stone has been depleted of its spiritual energy, it becomes a consumable for practicing formations and is essentially useless to cultivators.
This piece of discarded spirit stone was something Lin You picked up and used a few days ago when he was in seclusion because he felt the spiritual energy in the air was too low.
But she seemed to have forgotten that even a worthless spirit stone is still a top-grade jade in the mortal world.
"...Grandma, this jade alone is top-grade mutton fat jade, not to mention your craftsmanship, I really can't afford this price!" Director Yu took the jade pendant and felt its smooth texture. He instantly felt light all over and his mind became clear. It was definitely not an ordinary item!
"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry to collect the debt. Just take care of Xiao Songyu for me, and I'll give you this brand as a gift," Lin You said generously.
Song Yu also reached out and touched the jade pendant. To be honest, when he first entered the entertainment industry, he never imagined that his net worth would be so high.
Director Yu wasn't shameless enough, so he immediately transferred a large sum of money to Lin You, saying that he would pay in installments later and that he would definitely not let the master suffer a loss.
"This jade pendant can only ensure that the yin energy will not harm your body, it will not help to expel the yin energy. You should still get more sun exposure." Lin You kindly explained this when she saw him holding the jade pendant and looking at the children.
Song Yu chimed in, "In other words, Director Yu's ability to see ghosts won't be gone anytime soon."
Director Yu was fairly accepting of the outcome; after all, he wasn't that afraid of ghosts as long as there was no danger to his life.
The mini-lecture on the research of Level 2 ghosts has temporarily ended. Lin You put the children away and planned to go with the director to collect today's lunch boxes.
Just seconds before she put it away, the little boy suddenly spoke: "Sister... Sister, love..."
Unfortunately, he spoke too late; Lin You had already finished her incantation. Even if he called her "sister," she subconsciously held back her words.
Lin You hurriedly released it again, but after being released, the little devil returned to its previous dull state, as if it hadn't been the one who had spoken just now.
After consulting with professional Song Yu, who concluded that the child was likely not acting, Lin You packed it away again and went to see what to have for lunch.
The group's boxed meals looked similar to fast food from outside, but Director Yu specially hired a chef to make them. The lunch boxes were thoughtfully divided into low-fat meals and regular meals.
Lin You also received the largest deluxe version, with five more fried chicken nuggets and two more pieces of braised pork than everyone else.
The other guests showed no envy whatsoever; they all received small portions of low-fat meals. Lin You even heard Xue Ziqi remark that they had exercised enough that day to be able to have such a hearty meal.
Looking at the food that was barely more than what you'd feed a cat, it's clear that no matter what profession you're in, it's not easy.
Song Yu had already eaten a lot of jelly and was almost full, so she only took a vegetable salad. Then she met the admiring looks of the other three.
Currently, they admire Lin You even more. With such a large appetite, how does she maintain her figure without exercising?
Perhaps this is what they call a body that can eat anything and not gain weight.
Summer has arrived, and while the mornings are still somewhat cool, the midday sun can truly be described as scorching.
Director Yu certainly wouldn't rush to film at this time. He generously suggested that everyone could take a nap and rest, and filming could be done when it wasn't so hot in the afternoon.
While eating, Lin You browsed short videos about herself online, and surprisingly, they were quite entertaining.
For example, some people said that the way she held Song Yu by the back of the neck looked just like a feline carrying its own cub.
Some people say that she must be a disciple of a reclusive sect of martial arts masters, and that she knows the martial arts skills seen in wuxia dramas.
Some people below expressed their agreement, posting clips of her comforting Song Yu through a mental link, using various micro-expressions to prove that she was likely transmitting information telepathically.
Lin You was overjoyed. Surprisingly, someone actually guessed the truth, but unfortunately, they themselves didn't believe it.
Meanwhile, Gu Yunting, the young master who stole Song Yu's role and was indulging in his dream of rapid advancement, finally realized something was wrong.
Song Yu actually escaped death twice?
Where did this so-called great-aunt come from?
Given the current state of development, will some things still be the same as in the previous life?
