Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 1551
1551 Provoked Some Thing
Chi Shuyan could hear how the other party was speaking through clenched teeth; it was clear how shocked Yan Zhengming was.
What Yan Zhengming didn’t say was that after what happened to the film crew next door, not only was everyone in their own film crew scared witless, so were the director and the rest of the other film crew. A few of them had been ‘lucky’ enough to see with their own eyes how the girl’s face had been peeled off. Not only did they faint on the spot, many of them even quit the film crew and went to find a psychiatrist.
In short, this young lady’s tragic death had dealt a huge blow to the film crew next door, and work was suspended right away. Their own film crew also wanted to stop, but Director Wang was already halfway done; how could they afford the loss if they stopped now?
Because of the young lady’s tragic death, many people in the film crew had been feeling emotional for the past few days. Fortunately, Director Wang promptly said that he knew a very powerful Master and would immediately ask her to come and take a look. A few of the main leads also helped Director Wang keep an eye on the situation, so their film crew didn’t break apart.
!!
It was Director Wang, Shenglin and Kun’er who urged Yan Zhengming to make the call. They couldn’t wait for the Master to come back and help them see if there was anything unclean around the film crew. If there was, they would withdraw from the film crew as soon as possible.
Chi Shuyan still had a good impression of the young lady from the film crew next door. For one thing, she was beautiful, and for another, her attitude was good, unlike other arrogant newcomers who were stuffed into a crew by investors.
She recalled hearing many people envy the young lady back then, saying that she had an especially handsome boyfriend who seemed to have invested in that horror film.
It was also because she had a deep impression of this young lady that she had foreseen this tragic outcome. At that time, she had a good impression of the other party, so Chi Shuyan took the initiative to give her a talisman in hopes that she could avoid death. Who would have thought that in the end, the young lady would still die an especially tragic death, as Chi Shuyan had foreseen?
For a moment, she wasn’t sure if it was because that thing was too powerful and wasn’t afraid of the power of the talisman, or if the young lady had lost the talisman.
What she was sure of, however, was that not only was the thing the young lady had run into brutal, it wasn’t simple at all. She wondered how the young lady had run into it.
If she were in the capital now, she would be willing to help take a look, but she was still in S City and couldn’t rush back right away. Besides, the matter with her teacher’s family wasn’t completely resolved yet. Compared with strangers, her teacher’s family was naturally more important.
Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment before she had Yan Zhengming explain the girl’s tragic death. She also asked if there had been anything strange about her in the days before she died.
Yan Zhengming really didn’t know if there had been anything wrong with the other party before her tragic death. Firstly, he wasn’t familiar with this young lady at all, and secondly, they were in the film crew next door. How could he pay special attention to strangers in the film crew next door?
Yan Zhengming racked his brain for a long time before he said anxiously, “Master, I’m really not familiar with that young lady. I really didn’t notice anything unusual in the days before she died. Oh, right, I did hear something. A few days before she died, she was in especially bad condition and was especially terrified of everything. She even left the film crew for a while. When she came back, a good friend of hers came to see her, and she died tragically a few days after that.”
Yan Zhengming sighed with lingering fear when he said that. He had seen many dead people, but none had died as wretchedly as this young lady. Yan Zhengming didn’t dare imagine how painful it must have been when her entire face was peeled off. He heard others say that not only had she been wearing burial clothes when she died, her face before it was peeled off had been especially twisted and sinister-looking before she died.
The more Yan Zhengming thought about it, the more his back turned cold. He continued, “Master, when that girl died, she was wearing burial clothes. It’s too scary! By the way, I also heard that after the girl died, many youngsters around her age came. They included her boyfriend, her brother, and a few of her friends; they cried especially hard, and even said something like ‘can’t escape’.”
When Chi Shuyan heard this, she was certain that the young lady and her friends had most likely provoked something they shouldn’t have, and it had nothing to do with the film crew.
While she was deep in thought, Yan Zhengming gritted his teeth and continued to ask anxiously, “Master, Master, Director Wang also asked me to ask you, do you think our film crew should stop work for the time being, or should we switch locations right away?”
Chi Shuyan had specially gone to see Director Wang’s film crew and set, as well as the set next door. There was nothing wrong with the feng shui, and the incident with the young lady wouldn’t implicate the two crews.
There wasn’t anything they could do themselves to resolve the matter.
So, when she heard Yan Zhengming’s anxious question, Chi Shuyan said, “Help me pass on the message to Director Wang. Like I said before, the feng shui on your film set and the one next door is good. There are no major issues, and there’s no need to stop work. As for what happened to that girl, it was something they provoked privately, and it won’t impact you. Don’t worry about filming!”
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that her words were like an anchor that completely reassured Yan Zhengming. If they really stopped work, not only Director Wang, but everyone else would be worried.
Yan Zhengming couldn’t help but lament that their luck was so ‘good’ for them to run into things like these. Fortunately, they had a lot of talismans from Master Chi’s shop, which was why he, Director Wang, Kun’er, Film Emperor Ruan and Sister Song could relax.
Otherwise, given what happened to that young lady, not to mention Director Wang, the rest of them would have run away first.
After listening to the Master and confirming repeatedly that the feng shui in their film crew was fine and that thing wouldn’t pester them, Yan Zhengming finally heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the girl’s tragic state was still vivid in his mind. Before hanging up, Yan Zhengming couldn’t help but be curious. “Master, what on earth did that girl provoke?”
“I’m in S City now, so I can’t check right away or discover what that thing is. However, let me give you a piece of advice: It’s best to stay away from the friends around that girl. I’m afraid the thing they’ve provoked isn’t simple.”
