Chapter 70: Money Can Make Ghosts Turn the Millstone

“Bai Jia lives here?”

The two humans and the ghost arrived at the hotel where Bai Jia and the production crew were staying.

Ye Wei said from the side, “Didn’t Bai Jia start filming You and My Youthful Days? The crew is shooting on location at places like X University and the T City Theater. Originally the whole crew was supposed to stay in a three star hotel near X University, but the movie star insisted on a five star one. Tsk, a two hundred billion box office actor, basically a guarantee of future ticket sales and traffic, so the crew could only reluctantly meet his request.”

Pei Ye ignored Ye Wei’s complaints. She only wanted to know which room Bai Jia was in.

Ye Wei said, “Probably 2828 on the 28th floor. That room has a night view of the T City river. The scenery is amazing.”

After all, he was a two hundred billion box office star, so the crew naturally gave him preferential treatment in every aspect.

“I know.”

Pei Ye scanned with her mental domain and found that one spot on the 28th floor had extremely heavy yin energy. That should be Bai Jia’s room.

The two humans and the ghost were about to enter the hotel when they were stopped immediately.

(:з」∠) The crew had strict security measures to protect the actors’ privacy and avoid media and paparazzi.

The hotel also strictly screened suspicious individuals and would not allow them to slip in easily.

Pei Ye could only instruct Gua Nong, who was dragging them down.

“You stay downstairs. I will go up with Ye Wei.”

Gua Nong asked, “Without a room card, how are you going to get up there?”

This hotel elevator required a room card. You could only access the floor you were assigned to.

The 28th floor was fully booked by the crew. Apart from hotel staff and crew members, no one else could go up. Security was very tight.

Pei Ye looked up at the window where yin energy was getting denser and said calmly, “Of course I will climb the window.”

Gua Nong: “……”

Climb the window?

Miss, that is the 28th floor.

Very soon, Gua Nong learned who was naive.

He saw Pei Ye make two gestures in the air with her fingers, and then a living person disappeared right in front of his eyes.

“W, where did she go?”

He bravely reached out and touched the spot where she had disappeared.

Empty. No one there.

Ye Wei said to her senior brother, “She is a master. She climbed the window.”

The lowest level invisibility talisman only works on living beings and cannot hide from ghosts like Ye Wei.

Gua Nong could not see what Pei Ye did, but Ye Wei could.

The master was like a martial arts hero from a television drama, using lightness skill to fly upward in an instant.

Reality proved that a thick enough thigh could carry two weak people into the sky.

“Senior brother, I am going up too.”

Ye Wei’s body could not possibly climb a 28th floor window, or even walk up 28 floors of stairs without collapsing, but she was a ghost.

Ghosts could act without restraint.

As an ordinary human, Gua Nong could only sit on the ground hugging his knees and look up at the sky, not even qualified to watch the battle.

Little did he know that a few minutes earlier, a certain movie star had the same feeling.

Because there were strangers near Bai Jia, the female ghost who had been haunting him did not appear.

Bai Jia waited nervously for most of the night, finally reaching the time when yin energy was strongest.

The master performed the ritual to summon the ghost, while Bai Jia tightly held the expensive talismans he bought from the master, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.

This master really had skills. With a peach wood sword in hand, his ritual stepping technique that follows the patterns of the stars looked extremely elegant. Experts would find it overly decorative, but to laymen it looked immortal and powerful.

As the summoning chant reached its end, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped sharply.

“You evil creature, show yourself at once!”

The master shouted as the peach wood sword in his hand moved fiercely.

The next second, Bai Jia suddenly screamed and almost jumped off the sofa.

A plant in the corner of the room was suddenly covered in yin energy, and a completely soaked female ghost appeared out of thin air.

With her appearance, the air was filled with that familiar, nauseating stench.

The female ghost looked about sixteen or seventeen. She wore a wrinkled black and white pig nosed T shirt and dirty blue flared jeans stained with black mud. Her ghostly face was swollen and rotten from soaking. Two lines of blood tears hung on her face, her pitch black eyes were terrifying, and bits of unknown flesh were stuck at the corners of her broken mouth.

The master immediately realized something was wrong the moment the evil ghost appeared.

This ghost was too fierce.

“Quick, master, catch her!”

Bai Jia was so frightened his heart almost exploded. He wanted to hide behind the master for protection.

The female ghost suddenly turned her head, glaring at Bai Jia. Her black eyes flashed with a hint of grievance, then instantly turned blood red.

The master inwardly cursed, this is bad.

Just that sentence had triggered killing intent.

But if a ghost could reason, it would not be a ghost.

The master’s presence and Bai Jia’s words completely drove the female ghost into madness. She turned into a streak of yin energy and rushed toward Bai Jia.

The master reacted too slowly. Bai Jia raised his hands in fear, and the next moment only felt a freezing cold invade his body before losing consciousness.

“You evil creature, you dare possess a living body!”

In front of him, the ghost openly possessed a living person, completely ignoring him.

The possessed Bai Jia showed a sinister smile and let out a beast like roar as he rushed toward the master.

To maintain his physique, Bai Jia exercised regularly, and with the ghost’s possession, his strength became even more terrifying.

“He” pinned the master down onto the bed. The master could only curse inwardly, damn it.

Tearing clothes is one thing, but why are you pulling down my pants and ripping my clothes?

To protect his dignity, the master quickly pulled out a talisman and slapped it onto Bai Jia’s face.

While the ghost howled in pain, the master seized the moment and drove his knee into the area below the navel.

The ghost retreated slightly. The master followed up with a kick that sent it flying off the bed.

He rolled to the other side of the bed.

The possessed female ghost stood up again, her blood red eyes filled with rage.

The master threw several talismans at its face and rolled on the ground to grab his peach wood sword.

In this small space, he tried to use hit and run tactics. Whenever the ghost closed in, he used knockback talismans to push it back several meters and maintain distance. But the ghost was extremely durable, and his talismans quickly ran out.

The possessed Bai Jia slowly stood up again, his blood red eyes showing a hint of excitement.

That look seemed to say: are you out of talismans? Then it is my turn.

A fragile spellcaster being caught in close range meant certain death.

The master knew this very well, so he no longer held back and used his ultimate move.

Money can make ghosts turn the millstone.
