Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 272 - 245: It Seems You Don’t Really Think Jiang Ci Was Hallucinating

Chapter 272: Chapter 245: It Seems You Don’t Really Think Jiang Ci Was Hallucinating

She had her reasons for speculating like this.

The legends she read online had all come true one by one. If following the sequence, the next strange occurrence should happen at the well.

"But that’s going to be hard to find, after all, there must be more than one or two houses with wells in the town."

The director hadn’t noticed since he walked over that the so-called mystic master, Jiang Ci, hadn’t shown any intention to act despite so many supernatural occurrences.

And he was wholly focused on figuring out how to retrieve his artists, so he didn’t pay attention.

"Could it be the house Jiang Ci mentioned where he saw the woman in a qipao?"

At the mention of the woman in a qipao, everyone’s expression changed.

Mu Yunchu glanced around and commented, "It seems you don’t really think Jiang Ci was hallucinating."

But when facing him, you spoke so definitively.

Even at the risk of making him think his mental state was in question.

Yet now, looking at these people, it’s clear they knew something strange was going on all along.

"Oh~"

Ye Zhixia caught on, elongating her tone and with a hint of disdain, "You folks are really terrible, knowing there are spirits there and still sending someone."

Even though she knew the entertainment circle was a ruthless place, witnessing it firsthand was another matter.

"If Jiang Ci ended up being haunted or even killed by the ghost, aren’t you afraid of karma?"

Ye Zhixia’s aggressive questioning was not interrupted by Mu Yunchu.

Because she wanted to ask the same thing.

According to Jiang Ci’s description, the people around him, especially this director, should have known about the ghostly presence in the town from the start.

"Even on the first day here, they found Jiang Ci in a coffin, but everyone remained indifferent."

They even joined forces to deceive the person involved.

"You are truly despicable, I wonder how Jiang Ci would feel knowing this," Ye Zhixia sneered.

The female artist seemed unable to accept his last sentence, hastily denying, "No, it was a good-willed lie!"

Her instinctive explanation quickly brought the focus of attention upon her.

Slightly turning her head, she saw the director staring intently at her.

She immediately fell silent, lowering her head.

On the other hand, Qin Long seemed unable to hold it in any longer and blurted out, appearing resigned, "Well, things have reached this point, there’s no reason to hide it anymore!"

Honestly, he was a bit angry too.

If the director hadn’t insisted on shooting here, none of this would have happened.

Among those present, only Qin Long dared to voice any opposition.

"You’re right, we did find Xiao Jiang in the coffin that day." He looked at Ye Zhixia with an indescribable expression, "It’s peculiar, really." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Ignoring the glaring director, he continued, getting more worked up.

"Everyone was fine when we went to our rooms, then suddenly he was just gone."

No one saw any trace of him, and finally, he was found in a coffin.

"This town is too damn creepy! A perfectly good house, who would put an empty coffin inside?"

Honestly, he was thankful for Jiang Ci’s sake that it was an empty coffin.

If there had been something inside, it would’ve been even worse.

"Though we were all scared at the time, the director insisted we couldn’t stop filming, so he made sure no one told Jiang Ci the truth."

Just that sentence conveyed his current dissatisfaction to everyone.

"Looking at me won’t help; the events have already transpired. What’s the point in keeping it a secret?"

Qin Long and the director have been long-time partners.

So whatever he said wouldn’t really anger the other party.

Mu Yunchu suddenly asked, "So tell me, why did you hide the coffin incident?"

She seemed determined for the director to reveal the truth here.

Yet he remained silent even at this point.

The others couldn’t stand it.

Because the director’s expression clearly showed there was something he hadn’t told everyone.

"Ask these people; no one wanted to come here to film at first, but they followed you. If you know something, you can’t deceive us."

As Qin Long spoke, others gained courage and chimed in, "Yes, director, with so many of us, if you know something, you need to say it."

Everyone seemed to forget their distrust of Mu Yunchu. They just saw this unsettling place as their only potential salvation.

Fearful of harm to Jiang Ci.

And even more scared they’d suffer alongside Jiang Ci.

With more people speaking, the director seemed resigned to the situation.

"What can I hide? I’m just aiming for our ratings!"

"Variety shows are getting more and more competitive. I didn’t want to copy foreign ones, but I do want to earn money. Isn’t finding a new path the only option?"

They understood.

Whether refusing to publicize the strange occurrences or deliberately choosing this ghost-ridden town from the Republic era, it was all the director’s ’self-rescue.’

Afraid that if something happened during shooting, all his upfront investment would go down the drain.

That’s why he was so hostile after learning of Mu Yunchu’s identity, clearly not wanting her here.

"So there really are ghosts here?"

Someone pinpointed the crucial issue.

Amid their fear, they were also enraged that the director didn’t value their lives.

Although they knew Jiang Ci appeared in the coffin, they held onto hopeful fantasies. Especially when they saw the director forbade them from speaking out, it felt like he was undoubtedly connected to these events.

They hadn’t expected such a revelation behind it all.

One person thought of what just happened and, fueled by anger, grabbed the director by the collar, "You scoundrel, risking our lives for your show?"

He had almost been dragged to death by a water ghost just now.

That brush with death was an experience he never wanted again.

The director irritably shoved him aside, unfazed by any wrongdoing.

"But you’re not dead, are you? What’s the point in saying so much."

"Besides..."

He instinctively glanced at Mu Yunchu, "As long as she’s here, you probably won’t die."

Hearing his irritable comments, everyone looked at Mu Yunchu.

Not understanding what he meant by that.

"With her here?"

"What does that mean?"

"This woman who can’t even truss a chicken, can protect us?"
