Things didn’t even end here. Lu Hao looked at Gu Wuji below, and Gu Wuji of course gave him a friendly smile.
At this moment, Lu Hao felt as if he was recognized by his idol. He immediately became excited and couldn’t stop talking. He kept praising Gu Wuji’s character, quality and acting skills… Although he hadn’t watched too many of Gu Wuji’s works, the acting skills of such a person couldn’t be that bad!
Everyone was stunned. Was this still the Lu Hao they knew?! Lu Hao was a man with a very arrogant temper. If his social media account was not managed by the company, he would have offended countless people. He actually praised so lavishly a person with whom he had just had friction!
Even if it was just to avoid offending Mr. Cheng, this was too much! He felt like a different person. If Lu Hao’s attitude was really acted out, then he would definitely be praised as a new talent with amazing acting skills.
So… could it be that this was simply a sincere compliment to Gu Wuji, rather than being forced by life?
Everyone was shocked and wondered if Gu Wuji really had such a strong personal charm?
In the end, the host had to interrupt Lu Hao’s words before the segment finally ended.
The agent was so moved that he almost cried when he saw Lu Hao walking towards the stage. He suddenly felt that Lu Hao had grown up.
Then the award ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner. It seemed that there was no problem at all, but Gu Wuji felt that the negative energy in the venue was getting deeper and deeper. Many people felt that the temperature in the venue was getting lower and lower, but they all thought that it was because the air conditioning was turned on too low.
At this moment, Cheng Liangmiao, who was beside Gu Wuji, received some news. He frowned, turned and walked out, apparently to make a phone call.
This was actually a very normal thing, but when he was leaving, Gu Wuji suddenly noticed that Cheng Liangmiao’s face was not very good, and he felt that nothing good would happen to him next.
Gu Wuji couldn’t do anything anymore, so he greeted Cheng Jia in front of him, handed him a few talismans, asked him and the assistant to be careful, and then walked out.
….
At this time, the backstage staff.
Most of the people had fainted on the ground, with expressions of fear on their unconscious faces. There was only one person with a pale face, who was handling the backstage matters here, and he didn’t dare to slow down even for a moment.
After all, there was a ghost floating behind him, threatening his life at all times.
A man whose face could not be seen was standing behind the staff member. He looked at the scene in front of him and sneered, “It should be about time…”
In the surveillance video, a faint black mist had suddenly appeared around the award ceremony venue. The surrounding ghosts were attracted by the yin energy of this place, making this place like a ghost cave.
As long as the Yin energy became dense enough to exceed a critical point, something strange would surely happen here.
“You’d better do it well. If the live broadcast is interrupted, your life will be in danger.” The man said coldly to the staff, “You should know that there are a lot of people here. Even if you are gone, I can still wake up others.”
The staff member in front had cold sweat on his face and felt that he was going to be silenced, but there was nothing he could do and could only pray that someone would come to save him.
….
Cheng Liangmiao left the hall and went to the quieter restroom to make a phone call, but he couldn’t get through after dialing. He couldn’t help but frown, “What’s wrong, is the signal bad?”
But when Cheng Liangmiao looked down, he saw that the signal of his mobile phone was still full. Logically, such a thing should not happen.
“What’s going on…”
Just as he was wondering, footsteps were suddenly heard outside and then came the sound of something being dragged on the ground.
Cheng Liangmiao thought it was a cleaning staff mopping the floor, but when he looked up at the mirror in front of him, he suddenly saw that the person reflected behind him was actually a headless staff member.
And the sound of dragging on the ground was not from a broom, but from the staff member’s own head!
Cheng Liangmiao was startled and turned his head suddenly, but he only saw an empty corridor.
He thought he was seeing things, so he lowered his head, turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on his face. But when he looked up again, not only did the picture not change, but the figure was getting closer and closer to him. Even the ferocious expression of the head on the ground was so clear, and its eyes were looking towards him.
This couldn’t possibly be some prank game. He had just seen clearly that there was nothing behind him.
Cheng Liangmiao took a deep breath, his heart beating extremely fast at this moment.
That must be a ghost! He must escape, or he will die here!
But it was impossible to escape outside at this time. If he went out, he would definitely run into that ghost.
Cheng Liangmiao turned around and had no choice but to hide in the innermost storage room of the toilet. At the same time, he picked up his mobile phone and kept trying to contact the outside world, hoping that someone would come to help.
The signal is clearly full and I can even browse the internet, but every time I send a message it says it failed to send and I can’t make any calls.
“It seems I can only rely on myself.” Cheng Liangmiao was still a relatively rational person. At this time, he immediately began to search for information about this place. He immediately saw many rumors about this place, the most common of which was about the female star who committed suicide.
Although the news was suppressed at the time, it later became like an urban legend due to its frequent hauntings.
Cheng Liangmiao’s face changed, “It turns out that this place has been haunted for a long time, but no one has died here before…but it doesn’t mean there is no danger this time.”
He took a deep breath. Although he had no other choice, he still read all the news about the haunting. Maybe it would come in handy later.
….
Gu Wuji followed Cheng Liangmiao out, but he didn’t see any trace of the other person at all, as if the other person had disappeared after leaving the hall.
“This place is becoming haunted too quickly.” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but frown, “I guess Cheng Liangmiao is not in a good condition now.”
But perhaps because of what happened before, the ghosts in this place were afraid of Gu Wuji. No matter how he circled around, he couldn’t enter the strange space around him.
“This is bad.” Gu Wuji frowned, then thought of something and immediately called Xia Yangshuo, who was not there, and asked him to find Cheng Liangmiao’s phone number for him.
Xia Yangshuo didn’t think much about it. In his opinion, everything Master Gu did was correct. So soon he asked his men to find out the phone number and sent it to him.
“I can’t get through on the phone.” Gu Wuji tried several times but couldn’t get through. “There’s no other way. I can only use the last method.”
Gu Wuji could only find a remote place and immediately used the ghost-controlling technique to summon a ghost. “Tell me about the situation here quickly! And what’s going on in there.”
The ghost had a confused look on his face, and under the effect of the ghost-controlling technique, he immediately told everything he knew.
….
The sound of the head dragging on the ground had entered the toilet and hit the toilet door, with the ghost suddenly pushing the door open, making a creaking and harsh noise.
Just imagining a person’s head banging against the door made Cheng Liangmiao’s whole body stiffen.
When he was already extremely nervous, he suddenly received a text message. He lowered his head to open it and found that it was sent by a stranger whose identity he didn’t know.
“Mr. Cheng Liangmiao, I know your current situation. You are in danger now. If you want to survive, just listen to me.”
Although Cheng Liangmiao didn’t know who the other party was and was still a little afraid, the fact that he could contact someone at this time certainly made his tense mood a little better, and he subconsciously developed a good impression of the person on the other end of the phone.
“What do you want to say?”
“The ghost outside is a cleaner who died nearby. When he died, he was obsessed with cleaning the toilet thoroughly. He would regard everything else in the toilet as unnecessary things that should be cleared away.”
If it had not been for such an occasion, Cheng Liangmiao would have thought that the other party was joking.
But hearing the sounds of toilets being cleaned coming from other cubicles, Cheng Liangmiao had no choice but to believe the words of the text message sender. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and could only seek help from this unknown person.
“Then what should I do?”
“What’s around you now?”
“I’m in the utility room.” Cheng Liangmiao typed quickly.
“Then when you push open the door, mess up everything around you. The ghost will make cleaning its first priority and won’t catch up with you for the time being.”
“Okay.” Cheng Liangmiao listened to the ghost’s voice getting closer and closer to him. He knew that he couldn’t stay any longer. This was a last-ditch effort. He suddenly pushed open the door, scattering all the surrounding debris on the floor.
The head that was close at hand had its eyes popping out and gave Cheng Liangmiao a vicious look, while the body behind it rushed up anxiously to pack up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Liangmiao suddenly rushed out, and the head chased after him, but it was just a head after all and could not match his speed.
Seeing that he had finally left the toilet, Cheng Liangmiao couldn’t help but show joy on his face, but what he saw before him was still a dark passage, not the safe outside world.
“What should I do?” Cheng Liangmiao subconsciously turned to the person on the other end of the text message for help.
“Find a secluded place to hide now. I will find a way.”
After Gu Wuji typed this into the phone, he slowly walked into the hall.
It would be too troublesome for him to go in and rescue Cheng Liangmiao. At this time, the other people outside didn’t know what they would encounter. But if the problems in this entire space were solved, Cheng Liangmiao could be saved.
“If I’m not mistaken, the next thing should be the highlight prepared by that person.”
At this time, the wealthy businessman who was the culprit for the death of the female ghost had already gone on stage to say something. He was one of the sponsors of this event.
After the rich businessman went up, the resentment in the whole place increased greatly, and it seemed that a ghost would emerge in the next second.
The man behind the backstage staff even showed a smug smile. As long as the ghost showed up because of the strong resentment and killed the rich businessman, his plan would be half successful!
The rich businessman was completely unaware of the danger he was about to face and was still talking on the stage. Just as the female ghost’s eyes became more resentful, a staff member suddenly came up with a water cup and respectfully handed it to the rich businessman.
The rich businessman happened to be thirsty as well. He looked at the tactful staff member with admiration, drank the water in the cup in one gulp, and then handed the cup back to the staff member.
The staff member took the cup, thinking that what Gu Wuji said should be fine… What changes would happen to this rich businessman after drinking the water? But he couldn’t care less and just hoped that things would turn out for the better.
The female ghost seemed unable to wait any longer at this point, and her increasingly distorted figure was about to appear on the stage. The audience below had already noticed a strange black shadow on the stage. The rich businessman highlighted by the light and the host next to him looked like dead people. Everyone below was still wondering what this weird lighting effect was.
But when the rich businessman picked up the microphone again, his face suddenly changed, his eyes turned red, and in front of everyone’s stunned eyes, he said with tears in his voice: “I repent! I have done many things worse than beasts!”
Everyone: “???”
The person behind the scenes: “???”
