Gu Zhisang continued:

“You are 21 years old this year, and you are a third-year student, but you have new hair on your forehead and posthorse position, which is the location of the relocation palace, which means that you have recently changed your address on a large scale. It’s not from home to school, but like a journey to a new place that you’ve never been before, and you decided to settle there for a long time in the future.”

The ponytail girl said with admiration:

“Sister, you can even figure this out. Our school has separate campuses before and after our junior year. We moved to the new campus after we became junior students. It’s true that we just arrived here not long ago.”

Gu Zhisang added: “Looking at your face, your eyes are clear and your facial lines have edges and corners, which means that you are cheerful and lively, and you are very popular. Your hair and brows are also a sign of yang. In the first half of your life, there were no disasters and illnesses, or suffering. I didn’t see anything wrong in the second half of my life, you won’t become rich and powerful, but your life will be peaceful.”

“That’s fine.”

The ponytail girl said happily: “I think it’s pretty good to be safe and not get seriously ill.”

Host Liu said at the right time:

“It turned out that our fourth help-seeker was a lucky girl. She didn’t encounter any strange things in the dormitory.”

However, Gu Zhisang said calmly: “You didn’t suffer because of your special constitution, but it doesn’t mean that this matter has nothing to do with you.”

The ponytail girl was stunned, and then she heard Gu Zhisang say:

“You saw it with your own eyes. At that time, you and it looked at each other.”

Gu Zhisang raised the photo in her hand, it was a solo photo of a girl with a ponytail. It was sent to her to be used as a prop.

After hearing her words, the ponytail girl thought of something, and her face turned pale.

The audience in the live broadcast room was confused and heard Gu Zhisang say again: “You don’t know who it is or why it haunts you? But I can see each one of you has yin contract on your body.”

“One, two, three, four.”

Her pupils were dark, and she put the solo picture of the four girls on the table one by one and took out her emperor coins from the table next to her, and put them behind the photos.

“…five, six.”

“Six people and six contracts, you connected to it together at the beginning, and there are two more people. Why didn’t they appear in the live broadcast?”

Gu Zhisang’s tone was flat as she pursed the corner of her lower lip towards the ponytail girl with dilated pupils behind the camera: “Perhaps you can tell us what other stories you guys are hiding.”

[Gosh! What does it mean to have a contract with a ghost? And why are there six people?]

[!!! Things suddenly turned around? Are there still two people? Where did they go?]

[When Sister Sang was counting people, I was numb. Judging by the faces of these children, they must be hiding something.]

[Brothers, I found a blind spot. The background of these girls is the beds in the dormitory, right? They are bunk beds! I thought it was a bit strange when I saw it at the time. Because the four-person room in our school is a bed and a desk, and there is no lower bunk, but I thought that every school may be different, so I didn’t take it seriously. If it is a room of six people, it seems to make sense…]

At the other end of the live broadcast room, several girls were visibly panicked, and they weren’t very good at hiding their emotions.

Gu Zhisang frowned, scratched her chin, and passively sabotaged:

“Since you don’t want to speak, I won’t force you. I’ve seen everything I need to see. Host, can I get off work?”

Host Liu: “?!!”

“This……”

He looked at the program group next to him with some embarrassment. Now that the climax was coming, if it stops abruptly, the audience in the live broadcast room will scold them to death!

Sure enough, after Gu Zhisang finished saying this, the appetizing audience in the comment area started howling, and the barrage surged.

[??? This woman, don’t make me kneel and beg you!]

[Sisters, if you have any difficulties, can’t you tell us? You all went on the show, you can’t treat everyone like idiots!]

Several girls looked at each other, and finally, the long-haired girl stood up and bowed to the audience in the live broadcast room:

“I’m sorry everyone, we didn’t mean it. There are indeed two other girls in the dormitory, but they are also victims of the haunting incident. One is still in the hospital, and the other is suspended from school because of excessive fright and psychological problems. She went back home.”

“We didn’t contact them when we seek help from the program group. We didn’t know if they were willing to expose their privacy to everyone, so we chose to hide it. I’m sorry.”

After the explanation, the audience expressed their understanding, and then someone asked sharply:

[Contestant No. #7 said that you seek the ghost, and you have a contract with her. Why do you say that you don’t know anything and didn’t provoke her?]

The long-haired girl smiled bitterly and said:

“We didn’t deceive everyone. In the beginning, none of us think of that. Later, we gradually made some guesses, but no one dared to confirm…”

She gritted her teeth, and finally asked: “I want to ask Sister Gu Zhisang, do you mean that we recruit it ourselves?”

Gu Zhisang confirmed: “That’s right, to be precise, you invited ‘it’ here.”

Hearing her words, the eyes of several girls were red again, and finally, the short-haired girl wiped her tears and choked up: “We didn’t know this was true, we all thought that there were no ghosts in this world, we were just bored and got curious to play.”

In their junior year, the girls relocated to a campus.

It was a remote suburb of another city, and it was not considered prosperous, but the school has left many legends about the past of this campus.

After moving to a new place, the girls were both excited and disappointed. While having dinner in the dormitory, they chatted about the gossip and stories left by the former seniors and sisters in the school.

One of the brave girls suddenly said: “Have you seen the supernatural post in the bar? It is said that many things have happened on this campus.” ‘

The post she mentioned was a list of some deaths in the school over the years, as well as the legendary places where supernatural events would occur.

But some roommates didn’t believe it: “I don’t believe in ghosts and gods, these are all made up to scare people.”

Perhaps because of consuming a little wine, the girls were in high spirits.

The short-haired girl sobbed: “Then…then we started playing the pen fairy game.”

Gu Zhisang: “… …”

[???]

[Ah… in the middle of the night, you are asking to kill yourself?!]

[Absolutely, it’s because you invited something out and didn’t send him away!

A few girls waved their hands repeatedly and said: “No, we didn’t succeed in the game in the end. We just took out things and gestured twice, and we didn’t even finish reading the words to ask for a pen fairy-like on the Internet. At that time, it was dark and we felt a little scared, so we stopped.”

“When we stopped, we waited for a while to make sure that the pen and paper hadn’t responded before putting away the things.”

Because of this, they didn’t even think about it at first.

Gu Zhisang felt helpless: “Where did you find the spell?”

“On the Internet… It seems that they are invited like that in movies. We just made two gestures!”

Regarding this, Gu Zhisang can only say that the ignorant have no fear.

She said: “I don’t know what the pen fairy you are talking about is, but the kind of ritual you are doing is a branch of ‘divination’ called ‘Fuji’, and you don’t need to finish chanting the spell or the ceremony.”

Fuji originated from “witch”, which was a kind of divination, but it was not a method advocated by righteous people.

Because of the principle of this divination method, it still invites ghosts and spirits to gain the ability to understand the world.

Generally, a scholar will use a horizontal stick and a pen, and the two people will hold the horizontal stick with their fingers, and there will be a sand table under it. After the pen draws the lines on the sand table, the master will read the “Book of Heaven”, and the rake can smooth the sand table before reading.

If he was a capable mysterious master, he can invite the great ghosts in the underworld to the world of the living, and even invite the ancient princes and generals with great achievements.

But for ordinary people without abilities, as long as they simply perform the rituals required for the practice, the aura around them will change, and the nearby lonely ghosts will be attracted.

The girls thought they hadn’t finished reciting the spell because they hadn’t finished the pen fairy ceremony, but they were misled by the online film and television dramas.

After a little explanation, the four of them were completely dumbfounded.

Gu Zhisang said:

“Generally speaking, although the lonely ghosts wandering in the sun can sense this kind of energy, they will only come to you to have a look, after all, you didn’t prepare sacrifices, and perform a formal ‘Fuji’ ceremony. Even fierce ghosts will not bother to look at you.”

After all, after confirming the situation, there was indeed a connection contract between that thing and them.

To maintain this contract, it also consumes the power of the ghost.

It can’t get a trace of tribute and incense, but it has to consume itself. No ghost will do this kind of loss-making business that hurts itself but only benefits others.

Gu Zhisang’s tone turned cold:

“Unless you have done something to anger it and arouse its deepest resentment, that it didn’t hesitate to sacrifice itself to haunt the six of you forever.”
