Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Didn’t see any ghosts? Director, please release V…
Bai Qingqing's eyes showed a brief sense of loss, and she dropped her hands back onto her knees.
Bai Songxu talks a lot and is quite noisy.
His brain is not very good either, which makes people easily become bored with stupidity.
Although Director Wu has not yet said that Bai Songxu will join the program, if nothing unexpected happens, he will soon replace Bao Zishi's position, which means... forming a partner with Zan Fang.
Bai Qingqing glanced at Zan Fang in the corner with a hint of sympathy, but she didn't notice that Bai Songxu beside her had his eyes wide open.
The expression on his face changed from confusion to disgust, and his face was full of the expression that he thought she was sick.
Bai Qingqing suddenly took the initiative to greet him, and after he responded, she immediately turned her face away, as if nothing had happened?
Is that the end of it?
What do you mean "he can talk"?
What? Is he dumb and can’t speak?
Bai Songxu put down his hand and rolled his eyes. Due to the presence of many people, he said nothing and turned his head away.
Ao Xinyi turned around and saw his son's two big white eyes. He bent his knuckles and knocked on his head: "What's with that expression?"
"mom!"
Bai Songxu's eyes widened and he whispered, "There are so many people!"
Ao Xinyi also whispered: "You know so many people? Who are you rolling your eyes at? Be nice to your sister."
Ao Xinyi had just heard Bai Qingqing's inner voice, and his heart was shaken, and his heart was still pounding.
Qingqing...she was really right.
When the two of them came in from outside, Qingqing was the first to greet Xiaowu, wanting to see if he was okay. It seemed that the child must have been worried for a long time.
As a result, this kid Bai Songxu actually rolled his eyes at his sister?
You deserve a beating!
She was about to talk to Bai Qingqing, but Bai Muning's eyes lit up when he saw them. He ran towards her happily like a little white dog, his face full of surprise: "Mom, Fifth Brother? Why are you here?"
She quickly responded: "Did you see the live broadcast? Don't worry, we are all fine. It's just that one of our guest teachers had some health problems and was sent to the hospital, but he is fine now."
Ao Xinyi: "I just heard from the director, I hope you are all okay."
Bai Muning smiled obediently, looked at Bai Songxu, and observed him from head to toe. He hesitated and asked carefully, "Fifth brother, are you okay too?"
Bai Songxu was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Bai Muning ask him again: "Did you see big brother? Is big brother okay?"
He suddenly realized, no wonder his elder brother showed up so timely, it turned out it was not a coincidence, Ningning specifically asked his elder brother to save him!
Bai Songxu's eyes welled up and he was so moved that he almost cried.
If it weren't for the big brother coming to the rescue last night, he would have really finished that half bottle of liquor, and his vocal cords would have been damaged. He wouldn't have been able to perform as perfectly on stage as he did tonight.
He will regret it for the rest of his life...
Bai Songxu walked over to hug her with tears in his eyes: "Ningning, thank you. You saved me again."
Bai Muning was suddenly hugged by Bai Songxu, with his hands raised in the air. He and Ao Xinyi exchanged helpless looks, and smiled at the director and guests a little embarrassedly.
The staff members around covered their mouths and exclaimed softly, with envious eyes, and "Oh" sounds were heard one after another in the crowded hall.
The cameraman subconsciously raised the camera to shoot, glanced at Director Wu, and when he saw him nod, he continued recording with confidence.
The family of three is shining and warm, and an invisible and solid atmosphere flows among them.
No one was around to disturb him. Chen Ruihao sat on the red wooden armchair in the middle hall and asked Bai Qingqing in a low voice, "Do you know Bai Songxu?"
Bai Qingqing nodded: "I know him a little bit."
Chen Rui was even more curious, his eyes sparkling, and he moved closer to her, whispering, "Do you know the actress? How is your relationship with Sister Yi? Can I get her autograph? The kind that comes with a photo?"
Bai Qingqing propped up her chin, looked at the family in the center of the crowd, and replied to Chen Ruihao with a smile: "Wouldn't it be better for you to ask Bai Muning?"
"That's because I'm more familiar with you..." Chen Ruihao smiled, rubbed his palms, prepared his speech, and set his eyes on Bai Muning.
Bai Songxu's hug was short. He let go of Bai Muning, lowered his head and wiped his wet eyes with a bright smile on his face.
Ao Xinyi seemed to be disgusted with his appearance and said something to Director Wu. Chen Ruihao could not hear her voice. He only saw the director stunned for a moment, looking at Bai Songxu, nodding slowly, and talking to Ao Xinyi for a few more words.
Bai Songxu looked incredulous and raised his voice, "No, I am participating? And I need to calculate my horoscope?"
"Director, my mother just said it casually, please don't take it seriously. Don't let the master forget it. I won't participate. I'm just passing by today..."
Several guests looked over.
Zan Fang looked at the silver-haired man not far away, his lips pursed tightly.
Pu Yueling exclaimed softly, "Will Bai Songxu join us? To replace Teacher Bao?"
Bai Songxu refused frantically, and the director's headset had already echoed, "Sister Yi, the master said it's okay."
Ao Xinyi patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll leave that person to you. I won't bother you any more."
As she spoke, her eyes followed Bai Qingqing. She seemed to be getting along well with her friends. The young people were talking about something and laughing happily.
Ao Xinyi really wanted to say a few words to her, but this program was broadcast live for 48 hours without interruption, and it would not be good for her to stay here for too long.
She leaned close to Bai Songxu, maintaining a smile on her lips, and whispered to her youngest son, "You're just here to make up the crowd. Be honest on the show and take care of your sisters. Do you hear me?"
Although Ao Xinyi is easily influenced, once he makes up his mind, it is difficult to change it.
Bai Songxu lowered his eyebrows and nodded obediently, muttering, "Got it."
The smile on Ao Xinyi's face deepened and became more sincere. He nodded smilingly at the director and walked out of the camera.
Director Wu made hand gestures to the cameraman and stood in the middle of the hall: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Teacher Bao has a minor health problem and is currently in the hospital for treatment. So I regret to tell you that Teacher Bao cannot continue to participate in the recording of this episode."
"We have launched the first guest star, this new friend, he is shining on the stage, like a dazzling new star, from one heartbeat to another, so who is he! Let's welcome him with applause——"
[It's on! The live broadcast has resumed!]
[I thought it wouldn’t be broadcast tonight, and I almost went to sleep]
[How is Teacher Bao? I don’t want to see new guests. I want Teacher Bao to come back.]
[Bao Zishi has already been admitted to the hospital, and you still want him to come back to work. How can you be a little fan of Mr. Bao? You are a living devil (laughing and crying)]
The guests at the scene applauded one after another. Director Wu raised his hand handsomely behind him and shouted loudly: "Bai Songxu!"
The camera was aimed at Bai Songxu, who was still in a daze and had a bracelet put on his wrist by the staff.
The live broadcast is starting... now?
[Ah, it’s Ning Mei’s fifth brother! My brother is here!]
[Oh my god, what a surprise! The guest star of the first episode is actually Brother Wu! Isn't there a performance tonight? It should have just ended there! Did Brother Wu come here to accompany his sister because he was worried that it would be dangerous for her to participate in the Xuanzong show?]
[No wonder the director said it was from one heartbeat to another. Brother Wu just finished participating in "Heartbeat Sound", and he will take over "Heart Signal" so soon hhh]
[She’s still wearing stage makeup. She came here without even taking it off.]
[Who's heart is moved? It's my turn to be moved! ]
[The relationship between brother and sister is so sweet! If the show had continued to be recorded normally, the guest stars might not have had a chance to show up at all, but Brother Xu still came to accompany his sister (crying with his hands covering his mouth)]
[God owes me!]
[Ningbao is so happy with his brother around, Ningbao kisses me]
The information about the Ma family’s guards was given to Bai Songxu. The live broadcast has started and the time is tight and the task is heavy.
The team that was originally in charge of Teacher Bao directly explained the program rules to Bai Songxu in front of the camera, and took him to read the information. Several other staff members took a cloth and set up a changing room for him on the spot so that he could change into security guard clothes.
There was no time to change the makeup. Although the stage makeup was heavy and a bit distracting to the naked eye, the camera eats up the makeup anyway, so it wasn't weird except for the silver hair.
In less than twenty minutes, the white guards for the Ma family's residence were ready.
Bai Songxu was pushed from behind by a staff member and walked towards the only empty mahogany armchair in the main hall. He sat down hesitantly under the gaze of everyone, without any sense of reality.
The Taoist priest sitting next to him is said to be his partner and is very powerful.
Bai Songxu nodded and greeted him, stared at his face for several seconds, and agreed in his heart.
The face is very strong indeed.
With looks like this, she can get an A even if she sings a nursery rhyme in the preliminary selection.
Everyone was originally chatting in groups of two or three, but after Bai Songxu took his place, everyone returned to the show.
Zan Fang asked Bai Qingqing directly: "Miss Bai, can you take out the soul-locking magic weapon you just used and show it to everyone?"
Pu Yueling: "Hmm? Soul lock? What soul lock?"
Pu Yueling only knew that Teacher Bao had just encountered a ghost. Now that she heard it, she felt that there was something she didn't know. She asked in surprise, "Did you catch that ghost just now?"
Chen Ruihao also opened his eyes wide: "So fast?! The mission has been completed, can we call it a day?"
Bai Songxu:? ?
Everyone looked at Chen Ruihao, their eyes hesitant to speak.
Only Zan Fang kept his gaze on Bai Qingqing, never moving away for a moment, waiting for her answer.
Bai Qingqing took out a reflective object from her pocket and handed it to Zan Fang. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was just a small round mirror the size of a palm.
Bai Qingqing: "Is this what you are talking about?"
Zan Fang: “…”
The cameraman pushed a close-up, and the guests on the scene and the audience outside the camera were all confused.
Bai Muning glanced at Pu Yueling in confusion, and she just looked at her and shook her head, obviously not understanding either.
A group of people looked eagerly at Zan Fang as he stood up. They watched him take the small round mirror from Bai Qingqing's hand, pursed his lips and sighed.
There is indeed some evil energy in the mirror, but there is no ghost in it, and this mirror is not a magical weapon.
Just now in the courtyard, he could not be wrong about the aura of the Soul Locking Technique. Judging from the conversation at that time, Bai Qingqing should have known about it. It was just that she wanted to lock the soul, but she did not have the energy to maintain the technique, so she let the ghost escape through the mirror instead.
"How's it going? Taoist priest, did you catch him?"
Chen Rui blinked his eyes, thinking that Zan Fang's expression was not good, as if he didn't catch it, but he still asked without giving up.
Zan Fang returned the mirror to Bai Qingqing: "No, she ran away."
Chen Ruihao: "Run away? How could he run away?"
Everyone was disappointed and watched Zan Fang wave his sleeves, sit back in his chair with a serious expression.
"This ghost is a little special. You should have noticed that there are many mirrors in this house. The mirrors can reflect real images, including people, objects, and projected emotions. It is similar to a real time and space."
Chen Rui finally understood: "So she lives in the mirror?"
"You can understand it that way." Zan Fang nodded.
"Each mirror is a passage. We have been in this house for more than seven hours. Our bodies and belongings are all stained with the aura of this place. Although the mirror that Miss Bai brought in did not originally belong to the old house, it has also become a passage because of this."
"Miss Bai used the Soul Locking Technique before...but the medium was this mirror, so..."
Zan Fang stopped talking here and looked at Bai Qingqing without continuing, obviously trying to save her face.
Chen Ruihao: "Then our next step is to find the ghost from the mirror world."
Zan Fang: “Yes.”
Pu Yueling: "We didn't know where she was before, but now that we know, it's easy!"
Everyone nodded with expressions of sudden enlightenment, and tacitly skipped over Bai Qingqing's aspect.
Several netizens in the live broadcast room spoke bluntly, directly calling Bai Qingqing out for causing trouble.
[Bai Qingqing is an idiot! The Taoist priest had already taken action before, but she snatched the person away!]
[Uh… I didn’t understand their conversation in the yard before, but now I finally understand. What the above person said is right. Bai Qingqing did steal the soul.]
[What is soul snatching? Am I the only one who doesn’t know? Please, is there a replay for me to watch?]
[When Mr. Bao encountered a ghost, Taoist Zan tried to capture the soul, but was intercepted by Bai Qingqing. She used the mirror to dodge the ghost, and the soul disappeared (now it seems that it ran away). Taoist Zan asked Bai what he meant, and Bai retorted that Taoist Zan was ruthless.]
[Wow, how shameless! She let her soul run away, and she still has the nerve to criticize others?]
[My stupid teammates are so pissed, luckily there is still time, if it happens again tomorrow night, wouldn’t everyone’s work be in vain?]
[You say she can’t do it, but she can use magic. You say she can do it, but she turns around and lets the soul run away. It’s hard to judge.]
[Anyway, I know that the only one who can fight is Taoist Zan. Yue Ling is good at divination, which is just a supporting role. Whether you can pass the level depends on Taoist Zan.]
[Second]
Bai Mu Ning pondered and suddenly asked, "This ghost only appears in the Ma family's house. In this case, I only know about earthbound spirits. So is she possessed in this house or in the mirror?"
Chen Ruihao just thought he understood. After hearing Bai Muning's question, he quietly asked Bai Qingqing: "Is there any difference between the two sentences she said?"
Bai Qingqing: "Just listen to Zan Fang's explanation."
Pu Yueling said: "There is a legend here, saying that there was a bride who waited for her husband's corpse on her wedding night, so she committed suicide in the wedding room with a dressing mirror, and then her soul was trapped in the mirror.
The mirror will randomly appear in the homes of newlyweds, and the bride will look for the reincarnation of her new husband, hoping to rekindle her past relationship with him."
"There are indeed an abnormal number of mirrors in this house. I think there is something wrong with the mirrors."
Pu Yueling finished speaking and added: "This is off-site information. I heard about the legend of the Ma family residence before I came here."
Ma Jiazhai is very famous and is not unfamiliar to the community of supernatural enthusiasts. Pu Yueling is a metaphysics blogger and naturally has heard of the legend of the mysterious figure in Ma Jiazhai. She has also received information from fans who suggested that she do divination.
Pu Yueling did not agree at that time, but she did not expect that she would go to the site in person to record the program today.
Bai Muning disagreed: "No, if this is the legend, then why are all these people dead? Lingling, we still haven't seen the rooms of the Ma family servants, right?"
As she spoke, she looked at Bai Qingqing: "According to the information we have so far, only Xiaohong saw the mysterious figure from beginning to end. No one else saw it. There should be more information in Xiaohong's room."
Pu Yueling: "Yes, there are only those two rooms left."
Chen Ruihao added in time: "In Xiaohong's room, there are medical records of her seeing a psychiatrist and getting medicine, which took more than two months, and there are also several photos of her and the young lady.
As for my room, there is nothing in it. I am just a tool, hehe."
After hearing this, everyone began to think about it.
Zan Fang thought about it. He didn't believe in the legends, nor the information given by the program team. He only believed what he had verified with his own eyes: "It's still too hasty to be sure what the situation is. If I can see the ghost again, I should be able to confirm it."
Bai Mu Ning: "Okay, the goal of the mission is to find the mysterious figure and determine her identity, so let's combine our respective information."
People in the room were exchanging information, but Bai Songxu was confused from beginning to end. He sat there for more than ten minutes but still hadn't gotten into the mood.
He didn't believe in ghosts or gods to begin with, and when he heard everyone in the room talking as if it were real, he felt very complicated.
But Mu Ning was very serious. He would definitely not ruin Ning Ning's plan. After thinking about it, he raised his hand silently and asked, "We are looking for a ghost now, right? It seems that everyone has seen one? Is there any photo I can show you? What does the ghost you are talking about look like?"
There are dozens of portraits of the hostess in the Ma family house, but her face can not be seen clearly in any of them.
Only Bao Zishi, Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang had seen the female ghost before in the second courtyard.
Even Bai Muning and Pu Yueling were not seen.
Everyone in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. Bai Muning was about to explain to Bai Songxu when he saw Bai Qingqing holding up her head and smiling, "There are no photos, but there is the video footage from before."
She raised her hand to the director and shouted, "Director, please play the VCR!"
