"Nowadays, even masters are so up-to-date?"
Lin Chen was utterly puzzled.
He looked at the noisy crowd and frowned, "With all this ruckus, doesn't the office building's property management care?"
"The haunting rumors have spread wildly. A few days ago, all companies in the building moved out. The owner's trying to sell the place. There's basically no property management. Some security guards were on duty, but all quit today." Li Mo explained.
Lin Chen frowned further and asked, "Even without property management, isn't this a crime scene? Aren't they afraid the police will come?"
"Bro, the police already announced online that these three deaths are suicides and won't investigate further."
Li Mo's explanation clarified why everyone behaved so recklessly.
"Damn! Old Lin, look! There's a little girl over there."
Li Mo suddenly said, pointing.
Lin Chen followed his finger and saw a little girl—around six or seven years old—with twin ponytails, extremely cute.
"Who brought her here? The parents must be crazy." Li Mo continued complaining.
Bringing such a young child to a haunted place at night? That's beyond careless; they're basically courting death.
The little girl quietly stood in the crowd, sucking on a lollipop, eyes fixed on the building with great interest.
It felt strange to Lin Chen—he couldn't pinpoint why, but something was off about her.
Suddenly, the little girl turned her head and gave him an innocent smile.
The smile was sweet, yet Lin Chen felt a chill down his spine.
When he looked back, the girl had already turned her head again, focusing on the building.
He shook his head hard, chalking it up to a hallucination.
After all, with Yin-Yang Eye, if the girl had any problems, he would have noticed.
He stopped focusing on her and shifted attention to the master.
Time passed, and midnight was approaching.
The master glanced at his watch and said, "It's the hour of the rat, spirits appear!"
He began a strange stepping ritual, waving his peach wood sword while chanting.
The live stream immediately flooded with thousands of "666" (praise).
Even the crowd watching couldn't help but cheer.
"Looks like this master's legit!"
"Definitely, no one would dare capture ghosts here if not skilled."
"I heard he once trained at Mount Longhu, with high Taoist skills."
"Why does his walking look so weird?"
"You don't get it, he's using the Big Dipper Steps."
"So cool! I want to be his disciple."
...
The master finished his routine and smiled as the crowd praised him.
"I'm going inside to catch ghosts. It's dangerous; you shouldn't enter."
"But master, even if dangerous, you're here!" A youth from the crowd said.
The master shook his head, frowning, "To be honest, the female ghosts here carry heavy grudges. There are so many of you, I'm afraid I can't protect you all."
The youth was persistent, "Master, don't you have talismans? Give us one so we won't fear the ghosts."
The master looked troubled, "Making talismans is complicated. I only have 20 left..."
"I'll pay 500 as an offering!" The youth said, pulling out cash.
The master sighed, "Fine, for your sincerity, here's one."
Lin Chen was stunned by this business savvy move.
The crowd actually believed it! They eagerly handed over money to buy talismans, fearing they'd run out.
All 20 talismans sold out in less than a minute.
Li Mo, with years of business experience, was not fooled.
Seeing Lin Chen and Li Mo still standing there, the master said, "Without talismans, it's best not to go inside. It's dangerous."
"We're tough," Lin Chen laughed.
Seeing their skeptical smiles, the master gave up arguing and walked into the building.
As he stepped inside, Lin Chen immediately felt an icy chill.
Thin mists of yin energy floated throughout the lobby.
Li Mo couldn't see the yin energy without Yin-Yang Eye, but he felt the coldness.
Looking around, he whispered, "Old Lin, this place is creepy. Maybe there really are ghosts. The master's a fraud. Should we bail?"
Lin Chen glanced at him, unimpressed, "Weren't you the one wanting to watch the fun? Now you want to leave before it starts? Let's wait and see. If it's bad, we can go."
