Rumors

When Liu Xiaoke heard Wang Yi's words, she could not help but say angrily,

"Didn't I ask because of you? You're actually gloating."

"No, I just wanted to tell Sister Xiaoke that even if a dirty thing really comes, I'll protect you. I said that I'm a professional."

Wang Yi spoke encouragingly. This made Liu Xiaoke's expression ease up a little. Then, she used the key to open the door and hooked her finger at Wang Yi.

"Come in. What exciting news I've heard today. I guarantee you'll be very interested."

Seeing that Liu Xiaoke was clearly still afraid, but she had already revealed an excited expression, Wang Yi also felt a little amused.

As expected, girls liked such strange things. They were noobs yet still liked to play.

She probably called him into the house because she was afraid.

Entering the small room that he had rented in the past, Wang Yi smelled the familiar fragrance inside. He sat on her new bed without hesitation and watched as the girl changed into slippers and started to boil water.

After that, she put away her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed barefooted.

The wide T-shirt covered her denim shorts, revealing her long, smooth legs. It was quite eye-catching.

In fact, Liu Xiaoke was usually more guarded, but for some reason, she had an inexplicable sense of trust in Wang Yi.

After getting into the mood, she still said in a low voice with a mysterious look,

"I'm telling you, there might really be unclean things in this world."

Liu Xiaoke was also a top student. Although she had been frightened by some strange things in the past, she was still a materialist.

But today, in order to help her neighbor understand the situation, she almost overturned her worldview…

"Wasn't I fired by the previous production team? Before I was fired, an actor from the production team next door died last week. It was the third female lead. It was a period drama. A wire suddenly broke when she was hanging from the wire. Moreover, it was said that there might be man-made factors involved. They're still investigating…"

Liu Xiaoke first explained the cause of the matter.

"However, the production team is very powerful. Although they're still investigating, the media has suppressed the news. There's also a gag order in the production team. It wasn't easy for me to find out."

Liu Xiaoke was good-looking and had high scores in all aspects. Even if she was fired because she criticized the director, it was not a problem for her to go to the production team next door to get some information.

There was a gag order, but how could it be completely banned?

"The one who died was a young girl who had just become popular recently. She was very beautiful and was rumored to be the beauty you see only once every 5,000 years. Her name is Lin Shiqin. Her popularity is currently fermenting and there will definitely be a period of rapid growth in the future. However, she died here this time."

When Liu Xiaoke said this, she also had a look of pity on her face. She more or less empathized with her.

Lin Shiqin did have some small scandals. There might be some disgraceful things about how she obtained resources. This was something that Liu Xiaoke did not agree with.

But at the very least, Lin Shiqin was very dedicated to her work. She did not let others like stuntmen do things like hanging on the wires. Instead, she did it herself. She also worked very hard to train her acting skills. She had high expectations of herself and was serious about her work. Just these few points were enough to beat many famous celebrities.

However, this flower who had relied on her own hardware and hard work, had just started to improve. Just as she was about to soar into the sky, she died like this. This made Liu Xiaoke sigh.

"However, the most important thing is not this. Ever since Lin Shiqin's accident, strange things have happened to their production team…"

Liu Xiaoke's face tensed up, and her pupils constricted slightly.

"Although the crew stopped before the investigation ended because of this incident, some of the staff in charge of guarding the equipment heard some strange sounds every night. Sometimes, it was cries, and sometimes, it was curses.

"One of them even said that he saw Lin Shiqin smiling bitterly at him when he was moving the equipment. He broke the equipment and is still in the hospital.

"Furthermore, this strange matter is getting more and more serious. It's even a little difficult to suppress.

"At first, the crew thought that the staff was trying to shift the blame for damaging their equipment, but slowly, more and more people claimed to have seen Lin Shiqin's figure, and more and more people fell sick. Moreover, when I went over, I could indeed feel that the temperature near their production team had inexplicably dropped a lot. It felt like I was walking into a basement. Moreover, I think they even invited Daoist priests and monks…"

The mysterious rumors, coupled with the fact that she had personally gone over to experience it, made Liu Xiaoke believe a lot of them.

After hearing her description, Wang Yi could confirm that it was indeed a vengeful spirit!

It was even a very 'talented' vengeful spirit. This Lin Shiqin might have a deep obsession to become famous. Only such a possibility would have a chance to take shape in such an environment of lack of mana.

Not long after her death, she could begin to create illusions to affect others. Her potential was really good. The location might even be a mana valley where mana was freer.

If it was placed in an environment like the other world, it was very likely that she could turn it into a pure land of the undead and occupy the mountain as its king.

It was definitely an excellent target. As the core of artificial intelligence, its functions would be much stronger.

It was decided that it was her!

"Don't worry, I'm really good at this. I'll go and solve the problem now."

Wang Yi's words made Liu Xiaoke's expression freeze.

She had come back relatively late. The sun was already setting. If Wang Yi went to the film studio at this time, it would most likely be dark.

She could clearly feel the sinister feeling when she went there in the middle of the day. Yet, he wanted to go there at night?

"Hey, hey, even the production team doesn't dare to move there at night anymore. Don't do anything rash. It's true."

"I'm telling the truth. Just wait here."

When Wang Yi walked out of the room, he coincidentally saw Ma Dong walking back exhausted.

Seeing Ma Dong's appearance, the corner of Wang Yi's eyes twitched slightly. Then, he spoke.

"Brother Ma, did you go to the problematic production team today?"

Ma Dong, who was walking up the stairs weakly, raised his head and saw Wang Yi after hearing his words. He said in surprise,

"Eh? Kid, you're quite capable, but that place is very strange. F*ck, I actually believe in this thing now."

Previously, Ma Dong had acted as if he didn't care at all. Only because Wang Yi had specially asked him to go and find out more did he even go ask.

Coincidentally, the production team had invited a Daoist priest and a monk over to perform a ritual during the day. The Daoist priest said that he needed the help of a hot-blooded burly man, and he was immediately chosen.

Ma Dong was also happy to give face to the director. He patted his chest and agreed without accepting any fees…

"…You don't know, but after I followed the Daoist priest into the hall, it was at least ten degrees lower than outside. There was no air conditioning! Then, the Daoist priest asked me and the other five men to take off their clothes and sit in a circle. They kept writing something on us with a cold ink and talisman pen.

"It was clearly noon, but I was shivering from the cold. I was doing this for the entire afternoon before I was released. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have helped. I'm so tired. I haven't even eaten dinner. I originally wanted to get some beef bones today, but now I just want to go back and sleep."

Ma Dong looked dispirited. Originally, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this time, he really believed it. That thing was so fierce.

In the past, he thought that even if there was such a dirty thing, he, a hot-blooded man, would not be weak at all.

But today, he really felt helpless.

"Don't sleep. You really have to get some beef bones to nourish yourself first. Otherwise, you'll fall sick. That thing is indeed quite fierce. I've said it before. I still have some skills in this aspect. Listen to me."

That Daoist priest must have some tricks up his sleeve. He must have used some unknown method to stimulate Ma Dong's qi and blood to loosen and dissipate. If it was really an ordinary vengeful spirit like Li Yao, it would have dissipated by relying on the qi and blood of a few burly men.

However, Lin Shiqin should be quite obsessed. Wang Yi could feel from Ma Dong that she was treating them as supplements instead.

This was simply like rookies pecking at each other. It was unbearable to look at.

From the looks of it, the noob vengeful wraith had the upper hand.

'There's no time like the present. I'll go tonight…'
