Chapter 165: Chapter 163 Qi is still a child and knows nothing

"So what do we do now?" Yang Xiu looked towards the distance, and unexpectedly, quite a few people started walking down the empty long street.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their worldview shattered.

"You all..." Yang Xiu asked incredulously, "didn’t you escape?"

"I... I... I didn’t get far, just found a basket to hide myself." One person explained, still holding the basket.

"I tripped over someone, twisted my ankle, and could only lie on the ground pretending to be dead." The speaker’s face was covered in dust, dragging a leg.

"I... I... I fainted from fright, just woke up, can you tell me what happened?" The speaker was the travel blogger from earlier.

Yang He and Yang Xiu exchanged a glance, suddenly feeling their heads swell.

They thought everyone had run away, but unexpectedly, a few unlucky ones hadn’t left.

The travel blogger, not getting any answers, walked over to pick up his phone from the ground, "Luckily, it didn’t break... huh? The live stream didn’t stop, and wow, why are there so many people online now..."

Qin Luo frowned and looked at Yun Qi.

Yun Qi blinked her phoenix eyes — it seemed a bit troublesome.

***

"That’s the situation, and that’s how it is," Yun Qi said earnestly into her phone watch.

...

The police lights were flashing on the long street in Guyue County, with those who hadn’t managed to escape and those who had returned to watch the excitement talking endlessly to the police.

"Officer, believe me, I really saw a ghost."

"And me, I never lie; when I was little, I even handed a penny I found to the police. I saw a ghost too, it was right beside me at the time, and I even took a photo with it..."

"Officer, listen to me first, it was me who encountered ghosts, not just one or two, but hundreds. They were suddenly frozen by that little girl with some unknown spell, and then she waved her hand and took them away..."

The police barely squeezed out of the crowd, feeling their heads swell several times over.

So many people claimed to have seen ghosts, even the Nuo Dance team actors said so, but where were the ghosts?

All that was on the long street were the things people dropped while running away, like a storm had passed, not leaving a single ghost shadow.

Besides, how could there be ghosts in this world?

Previously, in such situations, they treated it as someone getting a bit of a shock or being mentally unstable.

But it couldn’t be that so many people were all mentally unstable.

One policeman was taking notes and said to another policeman:

"I don’t suspect they’re abnormal now, I suspect I’m abnormal."

"Me too, after hearing so many people say it, even I feel like there might really be ghosts."

The two policemen shared a wry smile and walked towards the little girl many people had pointed to as being able to hunt ghosts.

Yun Qi was on the phone with her watch.

From the other end, Hu Ju’s headache-filled voice came through, "I beg you, Master Xiao Qi, next time can you watch out for people when you act! Do you want me to get you a phone to live stream?!"

"Huh, how did you know there was a phone live stream? Although the video didn’t capture much, I think the sound was probably recorded, I suggest you check Weibo now."

"No way!" Hu Ju roared while hastily opening a computer, the sound of a mouse rapidly clicking could be heard, followed by Hu Ju’s wail, "Yun Qi little friend, are you sent by heaven to mess with me? Do you know how many people are discussing this online? The real-time hot search has exploded..."

Yun Qi rubbed her nose sheepishly and waited for Hu Ju to finish venting before saying in a childish voice, "Xiao Qi knows nothing, Xiao Qi is just a child, goodbye Hu Ju, I hope you can eat your fried chicken peacefully."

After finishing, she hung up the phone just as two policemen walked over.

One of the policemen, seeing her cute and adorable appearance, bent slightly and asked in a gentle tone:

"Little friend, those people over there said they saw ghosts and that you froze the ghosts and then took them away with some spell, is that true?"

Yun Qi widened her eyes, blinking her phoenix eyes, the little red mole between her eyebrows making her exceptionally charming.

"Uncle, my name is Yun Qi, I just started kindergarten this year, what are you talking about? I don’t understand it."

Those bright big eyes were really too beautiful.

The policeman hit his head with the notebook he was holding, "I can’t believe I listened to them and spoke to a child about this! There’s nothing wrong, little friend, it’s definitely these people who are abnormal, I’ll take them to the hospital to get checked."

"Thank you, uncle." Yun Qi smiled sweetly, walked over to Qin Luo, and waved at the policeman, "Goodbye, uncle."

"Ah, goodbye, sweetie."

The officer smiled warmly at her, internally marveling at what kind of family could have such a beautiful and cute little girl, their ancestors must be blessed.

Back at the hotel, Qin Luo asked worriedly:

"Xiao Qi, is everything really okay? So many people saw it."

"Besides those who saw it, a lot of people heard it online, everyone’s discussing it, even Guyue’s ghost incident is trending now," Yang Xiu added.

"Don’t worry, it’s all fine," Yun Qi reassured with an air of certainty, "these things are small matters to the 49 Bureau, they issue countless demon-slaying and monster-exterminating tasks annually, there’s no way every single one of them goes unnoticed."

"But," Qin Luo smiled slightly, "I could hear from the phone that Hu Ju sounded almost frantic."

Having interacted with mystical technique masters in the Capital City from an early age due to his special constitution, Qin Luo gradually learned about the existence of the 49 Bureau.

To earn blessings and accumulate virtue for Qin Luo, Mr. Qin even donated to the 49 Bureau.

"That little fox is just pretending, they have a division specifically for handling information leaks about demons, so they’re very experienced."

"Master," Yang Xiu stood up with his phone, "the hot search has already been suppressed, online recordings have also been replaced. Wow, it’s labeled as performance interaction... suddenly, multiple people from Guyue County appeared on forums claiming the so-called ghost incident was actually just a new interaction segment added this year, and due to poor promotion, tourists and local people weren’t informed, resulting in the panic, a complete mix-up."

"Someone here also said the ghost incident was an added interactive segment with actors testifying and even presenting rehearsal videos identical to what we saw." Yang He passed the phone over, and Qin Luo looked at it and laughed.

As expected, the video showed every kind of ghost, like drowned ghost, hangman ghost, marriage ghost, and paper figures with automatic switches, with the Nuo Dance team rehearsing in a manner almost identical to the real ghosts.

"I told you so," Yun Qi tilted her head, her childish voice huffed, "that fox spirit is so cunning, he knows exactly how to fool people."

"Now everyone says it was a mix-up, blaming the organizing department for being unprofessional, and they’ve even come forward to apologize," Yang Xiu said.

Qin Luo chuckled, "It’s best it got suppressed, it seems our worries were unfounded."

Suddenly, Yun Qi’s naturally delicate eyebrows knitted together. Seeing this, Qin Luo asked, "Xiao Qi, what’s wrong?"

Yun Qi shook her head, "Brother, have you noticed it feels like someone is missing from the whole situation?"

"Who?" Yang He and Yang Xiu asked simultaneously.

The Yellow Robed Taoist. Yun Qi thought to herself but did not say it out loud.
