Chapter 23 This is another price

As soon as [Adventurer Xiaoying] appeared, she ran to Pei Anzhu and cowered.

Even though Pei Anzhu is wearing a very scary Nuo **** mask.

But in the eyes of [Adventurer Xiaoying], this mask is a thousand times more friendly than the handsome-faced resentful ghost in red.

Pei Anzhu glanced at Xiaoying and suddenly realized:

“No wonder you were not harmed and were able to stay awake until I came. It turns out you have a very powerful amulet on your body.”

“Amulet?” Xiaoying was confused.

Pei Anzhu pointed to the jade pendant around her neck and explained:

"This is a good thing. It has been blessed by an eminent monk. There are traces of Buddhist magic on it. If you wear this, the evil spirits will naturally not be able to get close to you."

The audience in the live broadcast room also understood—

 No wonder the equipment of the previous ghost-detecting anchor failed when he arrived here, but [Adventurer Xiaoying] was safe and sound. It turned out to be all because of this piece of jade.

Now it seems that she is also lucky.

Not only was he protected by the amulet, but he also happened to click into Qingzhu Immortal’s live broadcast room, and he was in the same city as Qingzhu Immortal.

All kinds of coincidences combined to save her.

【Adventurer Xiaoying】holds the jade pendant, showing a hint of joy of surviving the disaster:

“This is a relic given to me by my grandma. When I was a child, I always thought it was ugly and refused to wear it.”

“Later, when I grew up and understood the meaning of separation between life and death, my longing for my grandma took over, so I wore it close to my body.”

“I didn’t expect it to be able to save my life. It can be regarded as my grandma’s spirit in heaven, protecting me.”

Pei Anzhu nodded and said:

“But the jade pendant has protected you this time, and there are already slight cracks.”

“There is nothing wrong with an ordinary amulet. If you encounter something as powerful as this red-clothed ghost again, it will protect you for at most two more times before it will completely shatter.”

“What should we do?” [Adventurer Xiaoying] was anxious.

“I can fix it, but...”

"Another price! I understand, I understand!" Xiaoying immediately responded, "I'll pay for it, please help me fix it."

Pei Anzhu agreed and then said:

"Okay, there's nothing else for you to do here, the rest is beyond your control."

“Take your classmates and leave quickly. Remember, don’t go to these weird places again. Not every time you can find someone to save your life.”

"I know, I will never go there again." [Adventurer Xiaoying] nodded immediately, "When I go back, I will quit the adventure club!"

After saying this, she was about to leave, but when she saw her classmate still lying on the ground, she suddenly looked at Pei Anzhu in embarrassment.

As a result, Pei Anzhu raised the branch and pointed at the resentful ghost in red:

“Why are you like a toad, you only move after being poked? Do you still need me to teach you what to do next?”

The resentful ghost in red dares to be angry but dare not speak out.

With a slumped face, she used her little remaining cultivation to wake up the group of people. Then she waved her sleeves, rolled up a gust of wind, and sent the six of them directly to the alley entrance of Longkang 2nd Road.

The house suddenly became empty.

Pei Anzhu walked to the side, picked up his backpack and mobile phone, and said to the audience in the live broadcast room:

“Today’s three hexagrams have been completed. Thank you all for your support. See you next time.”

—Ahhh, don’t download it! Anchor, I want to continue watching! —I’m still waiting to hear the female ghost tell a story. Host, don’t make me kneel down to beg you!

—Damn, isn’t it just a reward? I'm out, keep playing!

—Qingzhu Immortal is a kind-hearted person, please satisfy our curiosity, okay?



The barrage was full of reluctance and retention. Everyone wanted to hear the story behind the resentful ghost in red, but Pei Anzhu remained unmoved:

“It’s not a good thing to see ghosts.”

“There are inherent barriers between the realms of yin and yang. Living people cannot see ghosts, and ghosts cannot approach people.”

“If you break barriers and break boundaries frequently, a living person will lose his yang energy, which may cause bad luck at best, or endanger his life at worst.”

"I won't let you see it. It's for your own good. If you want to know what happens next, watch the news in a few days."

After saying this, Pei Anzhu turned off the live broadcast without hesitation.

She went to listen to the resentful ghost in red narrate the past events, but she didn't know that today's live broadcast once again caused an uproar on the Internet.

A netizen took a screenshot of the scene where Pei Anzhu beat up the ghost and posted it on Weibo.

This netizen’s name is [joke porter]. Just like his name, he collects fun and funny jokes and videos everywhere and posts them to his account.

With his joyful and playful style, he has accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans.

The last time Pei Anzhu live-streamed his confrontation with Heizi, he excerpted it and moved it, which made Pei Anzhu's live-streaming room attract more people's attention.

He keenly caught the highlights of the live broadcast room of [Qingzhu Immortal Lord] and stayed there for a long time, finally allowing him to obtain interesting material again.

只狠狠向鬼了, Psychic and Physical Double Attack#

—Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha made me laugh! This female ghost is so miserable! Have sympathy for her for a second!

—It’s not as funny as you said, so I’ve only watched it a million times!

—This was originally a supernatural horror episode, but it made me laugh so hard that I couldn’t breathe!

—I threw up from laughing, anchor, please pay me! !

—Female ghost: I shouldn’t have appeared!

— I’ve watched several videos about this anchor, and I still admire her strong language reserve. Where did she get so many idioms?

—Guiding Dolphin live broadcast platform, there is a full version!



As the popularity grew, the video was viewed by millions of people in a short period of time, and some of them went to the Dolphin live streaming platform out of curiosity.

Suddenly it brought another wave of traffic to the platform, and at the same time, Pei Anzhu’s own number of fans surged.

***

At the same time, at the entrance of Longkang 2nd Road alley.

【Adventurer Xiaoying】, that is, the girl whose real name is Zhou Ying, stood there with several of her classmates, looking at each other.

Looking at the confused expressions of the others, she asked:

“Do you...remember what happened?”

Song Jiaqi, the president of the adventure club, touched his head:

"I remember we went exploring the deserted house. Not long after we entered, we lost consciousness? When we woke up again, we were standing at the entrance of the alley?"

“I remember I seemed to see a black mist.” Lin Kang, another boy, said, “That house is too evil, we’d better leave quickly.”

Another girl in the team, named Tang Shishi, said disdainfully:

“You don’t really believe the legend about that house, do you? It’s just a lie spread by the locals.”

"There must be someone else in that house. He was afraid that we would discover his secret, so he knocked us unconscious and moved us to the entrance of the alley, giving us a weird illusion."

Wang Jun agreed with Tang Shishi and said:

“That’s right, where are the gods and ghosts in this world? It’s just to scare yourself.”

“We came all the way and didn’t find anything. Wouldn’t it be a shame to just go back like this? I decided to go explore again. Do you want to come with me?”

The last person is Song Xiankun. He is Song Jiaqi’s cousin and has not expressed his position.

Zhou Ying glanced at this group of people and said:

“Please read something first. If you still insist on going back after reading it, I will never stop you.”
