Chapter 18

     After finishing her part-time job, Shi Xi gestured “OK” to the camera on the corner of the wall, telling the director and Feng Qian that she had finished it.

     When they returned to the hospital entrance, the director and Feng Qian had just arrived.

     “Shi Xiao…” The director just shouted and immediately changed his words: “Master Zhang, Feng Qian and I have been watching in the monitoring room. Did you put the ghost in the bottle?”

     Shi Xi took out the alcohol bottle: “Do you want to see it? I can open the Yin-Yang eyes for you, but I don’t know how to solve the Yin-Yang eyes yet. You have to go to Wuyou Temple to find my senior brother later.”

     The director took a step back in fear and waved his hand quickly: “No, no, you put the bottle away first.”

     “Okay.” Shi Xi put the bottle away and asked Feng Qian: “Mr. Feng, the old instrument in the operating room Where did you get this instrument from?”

     Feng Qian: “These props are purchased by the company, I don’t know much about it.”

     “The ghost is attached to that old instrument. You should have someone move the instrument to the warehouse first, and then dispose of it after the ghost’s salvation ceremony is over,” Shi Xi said: “Now the venue is safe, you can choose a good day to continue business.”

     “Thank you, Taoist priest,” Feng Qian took out his mobile phone and looked a little more energetic: “Taoist priest, open the payment code, I will scan you.”

     “Ding——” 150,000 yuan reward was received.

     The Shen brothers were convinced of their defeat, and they didn’t feel jealous when they saw Shi Xi collecting the money, and said goodbye to her in a proper manner.

     Shen Shicheng: “Master Qingshi, we’ll take our leave first. We’ll meet again if we’re lucky!”

     Shen Xiaocheng bowed: “Master Qingshi, we’ll practice harder in the future and try to catch up with you as soon as possible!”

     After the two brothers left, the director laughed: “Their attitudes changed too quickly. They used to call her a little nun, but now they call her a Master Taoist priest so easily.”

     The director and Feng Qian both knew her true identity. Shi Xi pulled the mask down to her chin to take a breath: “They’re still too young.”

     “You’re younger than them, okay?” The director sighed: “This matter has finally been resolved. Thank you for your hard work. We’ll have a chance to work together again in the future.”

     “Can you please leave me your contact information?” Feng Qian looked at Shi Xi, his sleepy eyes fully opened, revealing a sense of intelligence: “If you encounter similar troubles in the future, you’ll have to ask Master Qingshi for help.”

     Shi Xi: “No problem.” Customers are the future of Wuyou Temple!

     On the way home, Shi Xi called Lin Wenyi back: “Sister Wenyi, my part-time job is over.”

     Lin Wenyi: “The Weibo thing is over too.”

     “So soon, the company’s public relations department took action?” Shi Xi thought about it, and her eyes lit up: “Have I become the company’s key training target?”

     Lin Wenyi actually felt a little sad: “The company did start to pay attention to you, but it has not yet included you in the key training target. It was Lu Lanlan who took action.”

     Shi Xi paused: “She?”

     “I’m also surprised. What kind of magic potion did you give Lu Lanlan? She’s like a different person,” Lin Wenyi seemed to be unable to explain: “Go and check her Weibo.”

     Shi Xi clicked on Lu Lanlan’s Weibo homepage, and she actually forwarded the Weibo post by Brother Hu describing last night’s dream, and wrote:

   【I was trapped in that nightmare too. Xiao Shi saved us. You can always trust Xiao Shi.】 

     Lu Lanlan’s fans were stunned by this Weibo post.

   【Lanlan, my dear, if you are kidnapped, just blink.】

   【This looks like a spoof Weibo post. Lanlan never updated her Weibo before!】

   【I have a guess. Maybe she and Shixi have a good relationship in private. The conflict in the live broadcast is for the effect of the show. But she can’t say it clearly. She can only use this euphemistic way to tell us not to attack Shixi anymore? 】

   【Then we have a big misunderstanding, do we have to apologize to Shi Xi…】

     “Did you see it?” Lin Wenyi’s voice interrupted Shi Xi’s reading: “Are you surprised?”

     Shi Xi: “I am a little surprised. It seems that she has been transformed by this variety show.”

     “Whether she has been transformed or not, the crisis has been resolved anyway, saving us a lot of trouble. Lu Lanlan’s agent may be mad to death. Her agent likes to attract attention by manipulating public opinion the most. As a result, the storm has not yet rolled up, and it was strangled in the cradle by his own artist.”

     Lin Wenyi complained a few words and changed the subject: “Remember to read the script sent to you carefully, and tell me if you find it suitable.”

     “Okay.”

     After hanging up the phone, Shi Xi contacted Zhang Qingxuan: “Brother, the ghost in the escape room has been caught. I will raise it for two days and then bring it to you for salvation.”

     “Raise it for two days?” Zhang Qingxuan thought he had heard it wrong: “Little sister, why do you raise this evil spirit?”

     “This female ghost can create nightmares. Practicing talismans in it will make rapid progress and have little impact.” Shi Xi added: “Don’t worry, I won’t raise her to death. I have experience.”

     Zhang Qingxuan seemed to understand: “Are you talking about the experience of raising a little brother?”

     “Yes.”

     Zhang Qingxuan smiled helplessly: “Be careful. If you are trapped in a nightmare, you will never wake up.”

     “I will be careful.”

     Back home, Shi Xi took out the alcohol bottle containing the female ghost and had her erase the players’ marks right before her eyes.

   【Congratulations to the player “Shi Xi” for completing the “Save Players” task, spell talent +10%, you have inherited 35% of Zhang Qingyu’s spell talent. 】

     Shi Xi asked the system: “Why can I suppress this female ghost when I only inherited 25% of the talent before?”

   【First, this female ghost isn’t actually that powerful. She’s just one of the more formidable evil spirits you’ve encountered so far. Secondly, you didn’t subdue her solely because of Zhang Qingyu’s magical talent. The most crucial factor was the fearless spirit within you. 】

     “Are you praising me?”

   【I’m not. 】

     That night, Shi Xi took the initiative to enter the female ghost’s nightmare and practiced spells in it until the female ghost cried and begged her to leave, and she reluctantly left the nightmare.

     When she woke up, she prepared incense for the two little ancestors as usual, and also ordered one for the female ghost.

     She knocked on the alcohol bottle: “Tell me your name and date of birth, I’ll ask you to eat.”

     The ghost girl hugged her knees and looked at her sadly: “Are you trying to butter me up after being mean?”

     “Then will you eat it?”

     “…eat.”

     While eating, Shi Xi received a message from Lin Wenyi, asking her to go to the company today.

     Based on Shi Xi’s understanding of Lin Wenyi, there must be something important that needs to be discussed in person, probably related to the escape room variety show or “Phantom”.
