"Zhiyi, go pick it up."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi pointed at herself in surprise, raising her eyes to confirm Gong Chen’s intent once more.
Gong Chen nodded.
"There are hundreds of thousands of people online now, they’re the best witnesses."
Lin Zhiyi understood Gong Chen’s aning, turned, and walked towards the phone.
As soon as she appeared, the comnt section was flooded with ssages.
"Why is it her? What happened to those two?"
"Sothing must’ve happened! We want to see the livestrear in person!"
Suddenly, soone persistently sent the sa comnt.
"This building will be haunted in the future, everyone should avoid it to not bring anything unclean ho."
"I’ve heard that the unjustly dead like to follow the wealthy and drain their luck."
Quite a few people echoed these sentints.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the comnts and imdiately realized soone was deliberately stirring things up.
She raised her phone and said, "I know everyone is curious, but these two livestrears broke into the building without permission, which is illegal. They’ve been caught by security and the police."
As she spoke, Lin Zhiyi switched the cara angle.
Without the dim lighting, the mysterious and eerie feeling around them diminished considerably.
Lin Zhiyi continued, "Since everyone wants to know what’s happening, I’ll go with the police and the two livestrears to see whether it’s wrongful spirits or coincidences."
After saying this, she called out to the livestrears.
The two turned around, slightly surprised to see Lin Zhiyi.
When they saw the people behind her out of the cara’s view, they shuddered.
"Three..."
Gong Chen squinted coldly.
The two quickly corrected themselves, "Yes, yes, it’s us."
Lin Zhiyi said, "Weren’t you here for an adventure? Let’s go up together then."
The two nodded, quickly greeted the online audience, and headed up.
This ti, Lin Zhiyi held the phone while the two livestrears narrated in front.
They turned on the lights as they walked.
At the elevator entrance, the two n looked hesitantly at Lin Zhiyi and the people behind her.
"Miss Lin, we specialize in exploring supernatural places and have seen many things. Turning on the lights like this will scare our friends hiding in the dark. If they don’t dare to co out, what’s the point of us being here?"
The other chid in, "Also, we can’t take the elevator. Those friends might play tricks on us. It would be bad if sothing happened."
They spoke quite convincingly.
The police suspected they were promoting superstitions and wanted to intervene.
But Gong Chen raised his hand to stop them.
He glanced at the security guard silently, and all of a sudden, the lights around dimd.
With the small flashlights on their hats, a spooky atmosphere erged.
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips in realization.
Are there really ghosts?
Clearly, these two are the ones creating the ghostly facade!
Online conn.
But it doesn’t matter; regardless of their intentions, they are useful now.
Lin Zhiyi and the others accompanied them up the stairs.
They spoke cryptically; even an incomplete footprint on the wall was described as the traces of an immature ghost by them.
In reality, getting a bit closer revealed a hole behind the half-footprint.
Clearly, this was made by a woman in high heels.
But the lighting was too dim to see anything clearly.
However, the comnt section believed it entirely, convinced that many people must have unjustly died in the building.
The one steering the narrative repeated the saying that the wealthy use children’s spirits as a foundation for their riches.
Great.
The comnts cursed everyone in the building, top to bottom.
Even the boss was cursed.
They just didn’t know that the boss behind it all was Gong Chen.
Moreover, he could see all these comnts.
Unless the building was completely demolished, explaining away the child spirit rumor would be difficult.
Just as Gong Chen predicted, preventing Lin Zhiyi from opening her studio was one thing; another was tainting the building’s reputation.
Probably due to Gong Chen’s presence, the two livestrears imdiately denied the child spirits’ story.
They sincerely showed their Talisman Paper, saying, "It’s not child spirits, just playful little ghosts passing by here."
"..."
Impressive.
The two policen beside Lin Zhiyi almost couldn’t hold back, glaring as a warning for them to stop spouting nonsense.
Disrupting the online environnt.
The two chuckled, "We’re not lying; that really was a little ghost’s footprint."
Gong Chen squinted, and the two quickly cleared their throats and moved on.
Upon reaching the studio, the police seal was still intact.
Indicating no one had entered.
Seeing the seal, Lin Zhiyi was puzzled.
From the earlier video, sothing could be seen by the window, yet the seal hadn’t been disturbed.
How did the person plotting against her manage it?
As Lin Zhiyi pondered, she sensed a man’s presence closing in.
She slightly raised her gaze, and Gong Chen motioned towards the door.
After the police removed the seal, in the beam of the flashlight, a scratch flashed across the door.
Lin Zhiyi understood Gong Chen’s point.
It seed like soone had used a blade to subtly open the seal along the door’s edge and replaced it after finishing.
Without close inspection, it was unnoticeable.
But the person didn’t expect that the paranormal explorers’ flashlights had been modified.
Sweeping over the door, the scratches were slightly reflective.
Aside from the police and Gong Chen, no one else noticed.
The police nonchalantly put on gloves to push open the door, ensuring fingerprints remained undisturbed.
The two livestrears continued ahead, huddling and speaking as if they were really scared and nervous.
Lin Zhiyi followed closely with her phone.
Suddenly, the two turned face towards the cara, startling Lin Zhiyi, causing her to step on a tool left by workers.
"Ah!"
She scread, dropping her phone and leaning forward.
Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to fall, a hand swiftly wrapped around her waist, pulling her back.
She collided into Gong Chen’s chest uncontrollably.
Not far off, the two livestrears caught the phone, the cara conveniently aid at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.
Though Gong Chen was in the shadows, only a high silhouette and a hand illuminated by a flashlight were discernible.
Long and pristine, under the light, almost jade-like.
The live stream exploded.
Gifts were flooding in rapidly.
"Ah! A male ghost! Looks handso just by the hand! Master! I want to capture him!"
"Damn! I ca for paranormal activity, why am I watching a romance?"
"The male ghost is rich, who burned him such an expensive watch?"
"..."
For the first ti, the two livestrears were this popular.
Their mouths twitched slightly.
"He’s not a ghost! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"Master, is this ghost hard to capture? How many gifts should we send?"
The headmaster was speechless.
They quickly redirected the cara, "Keep looking ahead."
Behind, Lin Zhiyi struggled a bit.
"Let go."
"Watch your step."
"It’s pitch black; I can’t see anything," Lin Zhiyi complained.
"Walk beside ."
"You’re not a streetlight."
"If you fall, I’ll catch you."
"..."
Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to retort, the two male hosts turned, pointing to the small square on their chests.
"Miss Lin, this... sound reception... is excellent."
He didn’t just say good; he described it as excellent.
In their line of work, amplification of senses was key.
Even a slight sound could create a frightening effect when magnified.
Imagining how her conversation with Gong Chen was heard just now...
