Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 33

He had gotten a lot of new orders in a short time, so Lu Xu’s mood was naturally pretty good.

He kept the rope and put it in a drawer, preparing to use it tonight to fish for some ghosts.

“Ba Mei, a newly opened can is on the balcony. Remember to stroll around the dormitory twice after eating to walk off the food.”

Because Lan Gaojie had self-proclaimed to have cat allergies, while Lu Xu and the others went to film for the show, Ba Mei had to stay by itself in the dormitory.

Luckily, the little kitty’s heart was big and loved to eat, so as long as it had food it would be happy.

Lu Xu made sure Ba Mei was settled and went to the studio.

Yesterday’s selfie test was more or less finished. What was left was for the assistant director to take individual shots and to film how they felt after the second evaluation.

Lu Xu subconsciously looked for Ji Xiunian when he entered, and noticed that he wasn’t here.

He saw Xu Lele had also finished up his individual shoot, so Lu Xu smiled and waved at him.

“Xu ge!” Xu Lele sprinted over when he saw Lu Xu and didn’t forget to lament when he came closer, “Wow, Xu ge, it feels like your body is so cooling, totally like artificial cooling in the summer.”

Lu Xu’s body temperature was certainly cooler than the average person’s. In fact, if it wasn’t for the sake of blending in with the human world, Lu Xu wouldn’t even need warmth.

After a few simple greetings, Lu Xu seemingly looked around the recording studio casually, pursed his lips and said, “Fan ge didn’t come to the studio today, and it looks like Nian ge didn’t come either…”

“I think the two of them are in a meeting.”

“Meeting?”

“Mhm.” Xu Lele nodded, and looked around to make sure no one was nearby before saying quietly, “Nian ge looked a little off today…”

Lu Xu raised his brow when he heard those words. “In what way?”

“He brought your Ba Mei to the practise studio early in the morning, and then sat there alone, staring at the empty dance studio for a really long time…”

Even the dormitories had cameras, so the dance studio was no exception.

“The assistant saw the recording and then told Fan ge about it. Fan ge said to please not tell anyone about it, that he’d talk to Nian ge himself…”

“Not tell anyone?” Lu Xu raised his brows, the corners of his lips carrying a teasing smile. “It’s your groupmate again?”

“That’s right that’s right.” Xu Lele just realised what Lu Xu meant and then smiled, embarrassed. “That staff member is a relative of my groupmate and isn’t just ‘anyone’. I’m also tight-lipped, I haven’t told anyone other than you!”

“Mn, very good.” To have Xu Lele—who knew everything—around made things a lot easier for Lu Xu.

Ji Xiunian had been giving the F4 their evaluations in the morning, he just didn’t know how Fan Zeng would react on his end.

“Ah, Xiunian, have a look at this first.” Fan Zeng hadn’t slept for long enough, and the first thing when he opened his eyes was his assistant telling him about Ji Xiunian in the practise studio.

Anyone who saw this person sitting in a daze in the dance studio would think that it wasn’t normal.

If it weren’t for the crying sounds on the first day, Fan Zeng might have felt that this was just Ji Xiunian’s personality. After all, there were many actors who couldn’t make it in the entertainment industry that were even more dazed than Ji Xiunian.

But Fan Zeng had suspicions since early on, so when he saw Ji Xiunian act like that he immediately thought he had been possessed.

He had intentionally called Ji Xiunian over, wanting to openly and sincerely talk about this matter.

Today, Ji Xiunian was as cool and calm as usual, but it wasn’t difficult for Fan Zeng to associate this cool attitude with possession.

He thought about it over and over, but in the end, still decided to use the video instead of talking.

After pressing the play button, the image of Ji Xiunian alone in the empty dance studio this morning appeared.

He walked in and pulled out a chair to sit on, then simply watched for a very long period or put on the music a few times.

Whoever saw this would think that it was a little strange. Even Ji Xiunian himself thought so.

In his eyes, the F4 were right there. Their personalities were unique, they were careful about how they acted, and would also greet him politely.

In his eyes, the F4 existed.

But in the reality of the camera lens, it was empty. Nothing was there at all.

So it seemed that the dead’s existence would be wiped away by the real world…

When he thought about those four smiling faces, a strange emotion flashed through Ji Xiunian’s heart.

He was quiet for a long time after watching the video, and more or less understood this was what Fan Zeng wanted to talk to him about.

Life truly was a fickle thing. When he joined this show, he even said before filming started that he was a firm atheist. Now, his superstitious belief was even greater than that of Fan Zeng’s.

Ji Xiunian couldn’t help but laugh. He was thinking of how he was going to explain it to Fan Zeng, but in the end, a talisman was stuck onto his forehead.

Fan Zeng was also nervous. A master had bought the amulet for him. Apparently, it could be stuck onto unclean things. He didn’t want Ji Xiunian to be possessed by some malicious spirit, but what if?

Ji Xiunian was very exasperated and lifted his head to take the talisman off. He looked at it, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Fan ge…”

“This is just in case!” Fan Zeng laughed awkwardly. He had called Ji Xiunian over and then suspected him of harbouring a ghost in his body, and felt that he was being quite strange.

But when he thought about it, he couldn’t help but ask, “Xiunian, tell your ge the truth, did you bump into any unclean things lately?”

Under his nervous and anticipating look, Ji Xiunian let out a long sigh and nodded his head in the end. “Yes, I have.”
