After Going Viral for Exorcism, I Was Kissed Senseless by the Top-Tier Ghost King! - Chapter 22

Inside the villa.

“Yes, it really was the director who instructed me to follow you.”

Jian Yu felt as if she could hardly breathe under Bai Qingxu’s gaze, but she insisted on her previous answer.

Bai Qingxu swept a glance at the camera floating beside them, fanned himself, and said flatly, “In that case, let us go.”

Having said this, he turned and walked toward the depths of the villa corridor.

Jian Yu was stunned. She did not expect Bai Qingxu to let her off so easily.

No, this Bai Qingxu is just an ordinary person. What else could he do?

Jian Yu thought to herself, feeling that her instinctive reaction was strange. If she were anywhere else, being startled would be one thing, but here? How could it be?

Jian Yu bit her lower lip, looking puzzled at Bai Qingxu, who was strolling leisurely in front of her.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!”

A scream suddenly resonated through the villa, even stirring up echoes that gave everyone goosebumps.

Jian Yu hurriedly looked at Bai Qingxu, wanting to see him panic, but she did not expect Bai Qingxu to remain composed.

Bai Qingxu turned his head and looked at Jian Yu. That familiar sense of oppression returned, and Jian Yu immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

“There is a trap ahead, is there not?”

“I do not know.”

Jian Yu could only answer this way, her heart trembling with unease.

“The ones I have here are real, are they not?”

Bai Qingxu asked again.

“!!!”

Jian Yu could no longer pretend to be calm. She jerked her head up to look at Bai Qingxu.

She saw that Bai Qingxu was no longer looking at her, but at a group of walking corpses that had suddenly appeared in front of them.

They were a group of mangled female corpses. Long hair hung over their heads, stained with countless bloody filth and trash.

They paused in front of Bai Qingxu, slightly raising their heads to reveal faces that were pale and gray. Their mouths were stretched wide to their ears, and their pitch-black eyes shimmered with strange, blood-red light. They looked extremely excited.

Even though Jian Yu had been mentally prepared, her heart could not help but pound, and her hands trembled.

[I was dying of laughter seeing Ruan Wennan and Lin Yinyou get scared earlier, but I did not expect Bai Qingxu to fall for it too! Another good show to watch, hahahahaha!]

[Why do I feel like the scary stuff over at Bai Qingxu’s side is a bit wrong?]

[Yeah, these props are so realistic!]

[It is so uncomfortable to look at for too long.]

[This is genuinely chilling. (Shivering)]

Xie Ye felt he urgently needed oxygen. When on earth did he arrange for these things to be in the villa?

“Director, should we call the police?” Xiao Chen asked with a miserable face.

Calling the police meant his directing career would be ruined. This show would be ruined too.

Xie Ye’s eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists, struggling internally. The show was just one step away from exploding in popularity, but it was also one step away from destruction.

Xie Ye closed his eyes in pain.

It felt like a century had passed before he finally opened his eyes.

“Call the police. Quickly, call the police!”

Xie Ye no longer hesitated and said firmly. No matter what happened, he could not gamble with the lives of the guests and the staff.

But just then, the telephone rang suddenly. After seeing the caller ID, Xie Ye grabbed the phone as if it were a final straw and answered it immediately.

“Cousin! I have run into trouble!”

“I know. Do not panic. Nothing will happen. Do not call the police; let the show continue.”

A clear, cold voice reached Xie Ye through the receiver. Xie Ye looked at the screen before him in a daze. The group of mangled female corpses was still standing before Bai Qingxu and Jian Yu.

Facing those terrifying things…

Would nothing really happen?
