Chapter 233 There's a Ghost at the Scene
So they came in, and everyone except Captain Huang and Yu Xiaoluo stayed in the living room.
Fang's mother opened her daughter's bedroom door. Fang Zixin, covered by a blanket, was huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees. Seeing them, she screamed in terror, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! You can't take me away! I won't leave!"
Fang's mother's eyes reddened. "Xin Xin, it's Captain Huang and this young lady who have come to see you."
"I don't know, I don't know anything."
Yu Xiaoluo walked over with a grin, "Sister, my name is Xiaoluo, can I play with you for a while?"
Upon hearing "play," Fang Zixin paused, seemingly not understanding why anyone would want to play with her.
Yu Xiaoluo took the opportunity to walk closer to her, took out a yellow talisman, and handed it to her, "Sister, look, do you think I drew it well?"
Fang Zixin took the paper with a puzzled look. It was a Heart-Cleansing Mantra. After she took it, she suddenly felt a jolt throughout her body. She felt the turbid energy suddenly dissipate and her mind become clear.
She stared blankly at the talisman in her hand, then at her mother, Captain Huang, and Yu Xiaoluo. "Mom, what's wrong with me? I feel like I just woke up."
Seeing her daughter regain consciousness, Fang's mother exclaimed with delight, "Xinxin, you're awake! That's wonderful! This is Captain Huang from the police station, and this is—"
"Yu Xiaoluo has some knowledge of metaphysics and can exorcise ghosts."
"So the young lady is a master." Fang's mother was overjoyed. Moreover, she had seen with her own eyes that her daughter regained consciousness after receiving the talisman. This was definitely not a coincidence; this young lady was someone with real skills.
Fang Zixin looked at Yu Xiaoluo with tired eyes, a little surprised, but said nothing.
"Master, can you make my daughter completely wake up?" Fang's mother looked at Yu Xiaoluo with anticipation.
Yu Xiaoluo did not answer immediately, but looked at Fang's mother gently, "Auntie, if this matter can be completely resolved, then your daughter will no longer have inner demons. Then I will recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra for her, and there will be no problem."
After pondering for a while, Fang's mother said, "Go ahead and ask. I'll go wash the dishes in the kitchen. Xin Xin, you know, just tell this girl everything, and she'll help you."
Fang Zixin nodded obediently. Seeing her daughter's current appearance, Fang's mother finally managed a smile on her aged face before turning and leaving.
Yu Xiaoluo looked at her with warm eyes, and that kind of friendliness seemed to have a magical power, calming Fang Zixin's slightly uneasy heart. "Sister, can you tell me what happened on set? Was there anything special, and why were you injured?"
Fang Zixin lowered her eyelids, trying hard to recall what happened to her in the "Ghost Fate" crew.
"That day, the filming went smoothly during the day, everyone was in good spirits, chatting and laughing, and the director was also good. But in the evening, the director received a phone call and his temper became so bad. It seemed to be the investors calling, saying that filming had to be completed within three days."
"So that night we were going to film all night. In the middle of the night, everyone suddenly felt very cold. We thought it was just a cold front and didn't pay much attention. When we were filming a certain scene, it was when a girl was possessed by a ghost and jumped off a building. There was an accident. The safety rope was very secure, but it suddenly broke. The girl fell from the building. Before she died, she was still conscious. She pointed to the sky and called out 'ghost, ghost,' and then she stopped breathing."
"We were terrified, but we couldn't see anything. We just felt a chilling wind blowing around us. We called an ambulance, but when it arrived, it shook its head and said there was no hope."
"I went to look at the break in the rope, and it didn't look like it broke naturally at all. It looked like something had bitten it, and there was some kind of black, sticky slime on it, which was disgusting. But the director seemed to be possessed. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked terrifying. He told us to keep filming, or we wouldn't get a single penny!"
“We were terrified, but there was nothing we could do. I was playing a nanny being chased by a female ghost. The ghost was chasing me from behind, and I was running ahead. When I was running down the stairs, I was suddenly pushed down by a pair of cold hands, and I seemed to hear a strange laugh.”
"I fell down the stairs and was badly injured. I thought the actress playing the ghost pushed me. I wanted to curse her out, but the actress playing the ghost was still standing on the railing, a few meters away from the bottom of the stairs. She looked at me with astonishment and then at the bottom of the stairs in fear, as if she had seen something. She was very emotional and wanted to run away and stop filming, but the director forcibly pulled her down."
"At that moment, I realized the problem. The person who pushed me just now was definitely not her, and that cold touch made me think there might really be a ghost here! Even the girl who fell to her death from upstairs, that was the work of this real ghost!"
“I knew I couldn’t stay there anymore, and besides, my leg was really broken. So, a colleague took me to the hospital and then went back to continue filming. I escaped a disaster, but that colleague wasn’t so lucky; he died later. No, no, no, it was some time later when I heard they were both dead.”
“From that day on, I often felt disoriented, as if I had returned to the scene of that day, with those cold hands pushing me down again and again, saying that they wanted to take me with them and let me reunite with them—”
At this point, Fang Zixin broke down again, her eyes reddening. Yu Xiaoluo gently stroked her hair, "You did a great job. At least you're luckier than them."
She looked at Captain Huang and said, "I understand what's going on now."
Captain Huang was filled with surprise and anticipation. "Master Yu, you know?"
"Because that ghost was on set, the recording captured the spirit. This ghost had an extremely powerful will and could even kill people through images. The ghost in the movie that could kill people might be a real ghost, since the crew members all died, and the moviegoers wouldn't know if it was a real ghost or a fake one."
“Master Yu, I have some footage that my technicians took with their eyes closed. Should we have Miss Fang identify it to see if it’s one of their crew members?”
Yu Xiaoluo looked at Fang Zixin and asked, "Sister, do you see any problems with those photos?"
She was afraid that Fang Zixin would be under too much psychological pressure, so she had to ask for her consent first. Fang Zixin bit her lip, took a deep breath, and nodded. "I also want to catch that ghost. It almost made me fall to my death and also hurt my good sister. I want to get justice for our crew."
Seeing Fang Zixin's determined expression, Yu Xiaoluo nodded to Captain Huang, who then went to the living room and took a stack of photos from his subordinate.
