Chapter 93: Irrelevant Questions

Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu listened intently, only Zhong Kui stood a little further away, leaning against the RV, stroking her hair, looking indifferent.

Qi Fei asked Lan Die about the details of this female ghost. Lan Die said she couldn't remember clearly, just vaguely disheveled hair, covered in blood, and should be an ancient person.

After answering, she curiously asked: "You police... why are you so concerned about the ghost I mentioned? I thought you would think I was talking nonsense. Besides, I guess Hong Mei also encountered this female ghost, otherwise why would she have so many things to ward off evil spirits in the car."

At this time, Zhong Kui, who had been listening quietly, suddenly made a request to Lan Die: "Such an interesting thing, can you tell the process of dreaming about the female ghost again?"

Lan Die was stunned for a moment and said: "It was last night, when I finished filming and returned to the RV to rest..."

"Since when did you always feel that there was someone in the car?" Zhong Kui interrupted her, asking while approaching her, staring at Lan Die without looking aside.

"What are you doing?" Lan Die subconsciously moved back.

"Just answer my question," Zhong Kui made a request word by word.

Zhong Kui's words had an irresistible magic. After thinking for a moment, Lan Die began to tell from the beginning about her inexplicable feeling of unease when she first boarded this RV. Just after telling the beginning, Zhong Kui suddenly asked again: "What is 3 plus 7?"

"Uh, 11... what's wrong?" Lan Die frowned for the first time. This was the first time she showed impatience.

"You calculated wrong," Zhong Kui's gaze still didn't leave Lan Die's face.

Lan Die was stunned, then laughed dryly: "Oh, it's 10. My math has always been bad, excuse me."

"You often appear in ancient costume dramas. The female ghost you dreamed of, which dynasty's clothes was she wearing?" Zhong Kui's questions jumped around, making people unable to understand her intention.

Lan Die thought for a while: "Hmm, it should be similar to our drama, the kind of clothes from the Tang Dynasty, but they were pure white... nothing, you don't need to care so much, maybe I suddenly want to be the lead, and it's a continuous big drama, the pressure is too great."

"In the dream, there are always some situations, right? Did this female ghost do anything to you?" Zhong Kui didn't intend to stop asking.

"She... she..." Lan Die seemed to fall into deep memory. "She kept accusing me, saying I stole her husband, questioning why I did it. I wanted to defend myself, but she suddenly came up and grabbed my throat with her hand. I struggled desperately, but couldn't say a word. She kept cursing me in front of me, saying it was because of me that she was forced to death, it was all my fault, but she wouldn't let me speak, didn't give me a chance to explain. I was both scared and anxious, and suddenly woke up from the dream."

When she finished speaking, there were tears in her eyes. It seemed that this dream hurt her deeply.

Everyone present had just heard from the paparazzi about Lan Die being scolded by the whole internet for being a mistress back then, so naturally, they understood the meaning of this dream. The pain of being wronged and unable to defend herself was suppressed in her heart and mapped into the dream.

Zhong Kui had walked between Lan Die and Qi Fei, suddenly changing her face, sweeping away the aggressive posture just now, and turned to Lan Die with a smile: "This Golden Snake Immortal is a notorious liar. He claims to be good at helping employers seek money and fame, not exorcising demons. Of course, he couldn't protect Hong Mei, and he couldn't protect you either. I say, I have a talisman here to ward off evil spirits. Seeing that you look so pitiful, why don't I give you a discount and sell it to you for ten thousand? Hang it in this RV, and I guarantee there won't be a female ghost appearing to scare you."

Lan Die didn't expect that there was a "police officer" on the scene who didn't play by the rules. She looked at Qi Fei for help, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Zhong Kui didn't give her a chance to think: "Generally, people who have seen evil ghosts hope to get rid of this terrible situation immediately. Knowing that my price is fair, they will agree to pay without hesitation."

"That, that's fine..." Lan Die finally compromised.

"Where did you get this origami?" Zhong Kui asked knowingly.

"This was given to me by a doctor," Lan Die said immediately. "During the time I was blacklisted by the whole internet, it was she who helped me walk out of the low point of my life." Lan Die still carried gratitude when mentioning it. However, she didn't recognize the person in front of her as the doctor who helped her. Except for Qi Fei, it seemed no one could connect Zhong Kui with Zhong Xiaoyu.

Qi Fei remembered the rumor about the monster killing anyone close to Zhong Xiaoyu. If so, it would be very dangerous for Lan Die to keep this origami. So he immediately stepped forward and made a request to Lan Die: "Can you give me this origami of yours?"

Lan Die was already annoyed by Zhong Kui's questioning, and Qi Fei's request sounded even more brainless. She immediately refused with dissatisfaction: "This was given to me by someone very important, why should I give it to you?"

Zhong Kui played with the faded origami and said boredly: "What's the use of keeping this kind of junk?" Then she grabbed the lighter on the table, lit the origami, and threw it out. The origami flew in the air like a fire butterfly and finally turned into ashes.

Lan Die was shocked by Zhong Kui's rudeness: "This is something I've collected for many years, what are you doing?"

"You know, if this origami were useful, you wouldn't have seen a ghost," Zhong Kui looked at her with sharp eyes, as if she were going to see into her heart.

Lan Die was intimidated by Zhong Kui and muttered: "Who exactly are you?"

Zhong Kui said expressionlessly: "A person who catches ghosts. Sometimes be careful, if you are entangled by a ghost for too long, you will become a ghost yourself."

Just talking, the assistant came to urge Lan Die to prepare for the next scene. Lan Die left the RV as if escaping. When walking toward the set, she suddenly stopped, looked back at them, and then continued to walk forward.

Zhong Kui stood in the RV, watching Lan Die disappear from her sight.

Qi Fei walked to her side: "Don't tell me you don't remember having such a patient either."

"She is lying," Zhong Kui said, not condemning but regretting. "The content of her dreaming about the female ghost was what she said when she went to Zhong Xiaoyu for psychological counseling. But she was already cured. Although Zhong Xiaoyu is weak, there are no patients she can't cure."

"You were testing whether she was lying just now? Lan Die could calculate such a simple arithmetic problem wrong. It should be because she had to spend energy to fabricate the female ghost just now and couldn't concentrate, right?" Qi Fei analyzed reasonably.

Zhong Kui turned to look at him: "Hmm? Not saying I'm cheating for money this time?" ===== CHAPTER 94 =====
