After Going Viral for Exorcism, I Was Kissed Senseless by the Top-Tier Ghost King! - Chapter 21

Bai Qingxu walked slowly along the corridor of the villa, not the least bit hurried.

While other artists were worried about having too little screen time, Bai Qingxu had no such concerns. To him, being on camera hindered his performance.

As he walked, Bai Qingxu pulled various tools from his cloth bag. He had not used the toilet as an excuse. He simply wanted to take the opportunity while acting alone to subdue the restless ghosts haunting the villa. Although he wanted to slack off and ignore everything, he suffered from a kind of spiritual obsessive-compulsive disorder. Perhaps it was an occupational hazard for a ghost hunter. Wandering through a villa teeming with malevolent spirits without doing anything to stop them made him feel uncomfortable. Besides, these little ghosts were planning to harm people. It would be inexcusable not to intervene.

Bai Qingxu rolled up his sleeves and pulled out a fan. The front was inscribed with the characters for “Demons and Monsters,” while the back read “Obey Orders.”

Bai Qingxu tapped his hand with the fan twice, smiled lightly, and then turned around abruptly.

Jian Yu was standing behind him.

Jian Yu, who had been secretly following Bai Qingxu, was startled by the move. Not knowing where to hide, she could only stare blankly at him.

“Teacher Bai.”

“Xiao Jian, I thought you were one of the little ghosts in the villa. You scared me.”

Bai Qingxu looked at Jian Yu with a smile, still holding the fan in his hand.

Jian Yu lowered her head in a panic, avoiding the object in Bai Qingxu’s hand, and stammered, “The director asked me to follow you. Because of time constraints, after you finish using the restroom, you might have to act alone. I have the camera, so I will follow and record directly.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Bai Qingxu raised his eyes. The gentleness in his gaze remained, but there was an inexplicable chill behind it. Jian Yu could not help but tremble. She felt a bit intimidated. She did not know why, but even though it was the same gaze she saw when they first met, it now lacked any sense of warmth. Instead, it felt like the eyes of a cold deity, looking down at all living beings with pity. It seemed gentle, yet it inspired even more fear. Jian Yu was startled by her own thoughts, and her pupils contracted sharply.

【What is going on? Is Bai Qingxu putting on airs with his assistant? Why is the assistant so afraid?】

【Although it is annoying to be followed to the toilet, the assistant is just following the director’s orders. Why is he being so fierce?】

【Why make things difficult for a worker? What a low-class, D-list celebrity!】

【You all are blind! My Bai is clearly speaking very gently, okay?】

Xie Ye looked at Jian Yu on the screen, feeling puzzled. When did he ever tell her to follow someone into the toilet? He was not a voyeur!

“Jian Yu! Jian Yu! What is going on? When did I tell you to follow him? Back off! Wait until he is finished before following. Do you want to livestream someone using the toilet? You are a young girl, you cannot just want to watch someone use the toilet because they are good-looking! Get back!”

Xie Ye yelled into the walkie-talkie, but only static returned. There was no reply.

What? Walkie-talkie malfunctions had happened before, but this time, he felt that something was seriously wrong.

“Xiao Chen, send people into the villa. Jian Yu’s walkie-talkie is malfunctioning.”

Xie Ye urged the assistant, Xiao Chen, beside him. Xiao Chen nodded and immediately arranged it over the phone, but before the call ended, his face turned pale.

“What is wrong? Do not scare me.”

Seeing Xiao Chen’s expression, Xie Ye’s unease grew.

“Director, the technical department says the live stream is having issues. The cameras are out of control.”

“And there is more.”

“We cannot get into the villa now!”
