Chapter 5 There is a ghost There is a ghost (1)
Everything in the world is governed by rules, maintained by heaven and earth. Pan Dahai constantly urged Lou Sheng to absorb Ying Zhisheng's yang energy and seize his life fortune. Ultimately, this was because ghosts harming people were punished by heaven. He had personally witnessed ghosts that had harmed people being struck to pieces, their souls shattered to pieces, leaving nothing behind.
Pan Dahai had calculated that Lou Sheng's actions wouldn't be life-threatening to Ying Zhisheng, and the lightning he would receive would only be a minor punishment, a warning of two thunderbolts at most. Then he would seize the opportunity to devour Lou Sheng.
It was an almost perfect plan. But he hadn't expected that the boy to be able to detect it in advance. He was also afraid of attracting the thunder due to Ying Zhisheng's arrival, so he hesitated for a moment and was taken advantage of and fell at a disadvantage.
After Ying Zhisheng left, Lou Sheng came to Pan Dahai, who was cowering in the corner. He grabbed the collar and pulled the ghost up. Pan Dahai was limp and looked like he would melt at any moment.
"I'm going to eat you." Lou Sheng said.
"You can't eat me! You can't run away even if you eat me. You have to follow me!" Pan Dahai held his chin high with confidence, "I'm different from an illegal immigrant like you. I'm registered with the ghost messenger. In forty-three years, five months, and sixteen days, I'll be reincarnated. If the ghost messenger finds out I'm missing, he'll definitely trace it back to you!"
Lou Sheng curled his lips in silence. He? An illegal resident? He died a legitimate death, so how could he become an illegal resident among ghosts?
"I'm about to be reincarnated, why are you eating me?"
"I'm hungry! No one has burned paper or incense for me in all these years. I finally saw you, an illegal immigrant, and I couldn't help it."
Since he was said to be an illegal immigrant, there was nothing to worry about. Pulling Pan Dahai closer and looking at him for a moment, Lou Sheng casually patted his face and whispered, "You are in my hands now. I can do whatever I want to you. I can twist your head off or tear off your arms. You won't be able to resist."
Pan Dahai started screaming angrily again, warning Lou Sheng.
Lou Sheng curled his lips and said, "Tell me how ghosts eat ghosts. You teach me how to eat ghosts, and from now on we can work together to find lonely ghosts to eat. I'm an illegal resident, so some things are easier for me to do."
“…” Pan Dahai’s heart was moved.
Through the fight just now, Pan Dahai could also see that this kid was a good fighter and must have been a troublesome child when he was alive.
"You want to cooperate with me?" Pan Dahai confirmed repeatedly.
"Yes, after all, I don't know anything. You teach me how to eat ghosts and absorb Yang energy, and help me leave this house, and I will cooperate with you." Lou Sheng made no secret of his uniqueness, turning around in front of Pan Dahai and showing off, "You should be able to see that I am different."
It was indeed different. Pan Dahai had never seen a ghost regain its sanity just a month after its death. Its strength was so strong that even he had suffered a great loss. If this continued, Pan Dahai felt that Lou Sheng would sooner or later become the ghost king of this area.
After weighing the pros and cons, Pan Dahai selectively told Lou Sheng that under the rules, ghosts must give way to people. People can raise ghosts and drive them away, but ghosts cannot harm or injure people.
Lou Sheng listened with a smile and nodded from time to time.
…
Ying Zhisheng needed to promote his new album, so he participated in a live broadcast event, connecting with several other singers and actors to chat, interact, and draw prizes.
After clearing out the empty room and checking to make sure it contained none of Ying Zhisheng's personal belongings, Assistant Tao had a flash of inspiration and decided to place a few cute, ugly dolls on a chair. The contrast between their outwardly cool exterior and their private adorability would surely be a topic of conversation.
Uncle Chengzhi agreed with this idea.
"Xiao Tao, you haven't been in the entertainment industry for five years in vain. Your brain works really fast."
Assistant Tao had more ideas. He lowered his voice and suggested, "We all know the morals of everyone in this circle. They're afraid of having their photos taken, so they'll definitely dress up to impress. But Brother Sheng is different. He has a pretty face, so he doesn't have that worry at all."
"Let's have Brother Sheng wash his hair and appear without makeup, creating a relaxed vibe. That way he'll stand out."
Uncle Cheng Zhi clapped his hands, "Good idea! You're really good at playing tricks!"
Assistant Tao used a toothpick to pick at his teeth, spitting as he told him, "One of the guests this time is that non-mainstream guy with a green wolf tail and a tongue piercing! He plagiarized several of Sheng Ge's songs, and one of them inexplicably went viral. When netizens dug it up, he initially denied it, then later said it was approved by our studio. When I posted a screenshot, wow, it was just a one-sided private message notification. Who would read all those thousands of private messages? He's truly shameless."
"I know this person, his name is Wang Shengjing. He seems to be very popular recently?" Although the network delay is high, Chengzhi has heard of him recently and watched Wang Shengjing's live broadcast video, which was full of jokes.
Assistant Tao nearly fainted from anger at this point. He gasped, "You have no idea! This guy's initial fame was all about piggybacking on Sheng Ge. All sorts of piggybacking! Learning stage and makeup, using Sheng Ge as a selling point on his livestreams, saying they'd met at an event. He's been all about the black-and-red, and now their company is forcing him to package her!"
"What does Ying Zhisheng say?"
"Brother Sheng doesn't care about him at all."
He is not a celebrity at all. Even though Ying Zhisheng has not focused on music in the past two years and has tried to transform himself and starred in several movies but hit a wall, not just anyone can get close to him.
The two chattered endlessly, and Lou Sheng floated down from the ceiling, listening with gusto. He had only seen Ying Zhisheng's glamorous appearance, but hadn't expected there to be such a thing going on behind the scenes.
He stretched and put his arm on Assistant Tao's shoulder very naturally.
Assistant Tao, who was speaking ill of others, stuttered, his eyes darting around, not even daring to turn his head. He cautiously asked Uncle Cheng Zhi, "Uncle, is there something on my shoulder?"
"No." Cheng Zhi felt puzzled.
“…”
“…”
The air suddenly became quiet and increasingly eerie and cold.
"Ghost!... There is a ghost!" Assistant Tao swallowed his saliva, suddenly jumped up, and hid behind Cheng Zhi, looking like he was about to cry: "Just now, my shoulder suddenly sank, and there was a ghost on my back! He wants to take my life and find a scapegoat! Uncle, save me, don't leave me!"
Lou Sheng really wanted to tell him that he just put his arm around his shoulder and there wouldn't be such serious consequences.
Uncle Cheng Zhi simply didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, and he looked at Assistant Tao with a loving look. Assistant Tao was even more stimulated and started to call his wife, asking her to protect him.
There was a lot of noise. One person was shouting "There's a ghost!", while the other was saying "Calm down!" The culprit just watched, leaning over to stare at Assistant Tao. When he saw the tears in the corners of his eyes, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The sound of "Puff" was directed at Assistant Tao's face.
Assistant Tao was stunned, rubbing his nose to wipe away the cold air. He wanted to scream, he wanted to hit a high note even more skillful and melodious than Ying Zhisheng's. He covered his head and screamed non-stop, successfully attracting his agent.
Lou Sheng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and just watched.
It turns out that scaring people is so easy. Ying Zhisheng is just an exception.
