Luo Huaiyu felt the pressure from Xing Shuangzhan's presence and his nerves tensed. Luo Ting, on the other hand, showed an expression of annoyance.

Not this Xing Su again.

How was Zhou Zhou not fed up with him yet?

Chi Qingzhou turned around, eyeing Xing Shuangzhan, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"Brother Su, your soul seems a little better?"

Xing Shuangzhan ignored the gazes of Luo Ting and Luo Huaiyu, reaching out to wrap his arm around Chi Qingzhou's waist, his head leaning against his, a smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah, the ghost and death energy leaking from the big tomb has been quite a bit. I guess the array in the tomb must've malfunctioned some time ago, and that's why so much power has been leaking."

The death energy from him easily stirred various negative emotions, causing people who merely come into contact with a small amount to become very irrational.

Like how Luo Ting and Luo Huaiyu suddenly fought just now, or how Xue Jinshi and Shen Wenxing suddenly argued earlier today.

Chi Qingzhou understood and couldn't help but feel troubled.

"What happened to the big tomb? It's not a solution for the energy you left behind to keep leaking like this."

Xing Shuangzhan gently patted the back of his head, smiling. "There's no rush, it will be solved eventually. How about we understand the situation of your two friends first?"

Chi Qingzhou paused for a moment before turning around and lowering the two of them to the ground.

He was indeed curious about what had happened between them.

Xing Shuangzhan, taking advantage of the moment, gathered the death energy that had fallen onto the two of them, drawing it into Chi Qingzhou's shadow.

With their minds suddenly cleared, Luo Ting and Luo Huaiyu exchanged a glance, vaguely sensing that things might be more complicated than they had imagined. They obediently followed behind Chi Qingzhou, finding a place to sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation.

The moonlight was faint and unclear.

Since Chi Qingzhou had stopped on the tree, the livestream's lighting had grown dim, and most of the viewers couldn't even make out human shapes clearly. When Xing Shuangzhan appeared, the picture froze entirely.

In addition to the visual issues, the sound was intermittent. Everyone could tell that Chi Qingzhou was saying something, but none of the keywords were actually audible.

Many viewers couldn't help but start complaining.

[What kind of special segment is this? Why is it buffering like this?]

[This is worse than a PowerPoint presentation, at least those have content. This is just a bunch of color blocks and a black screen.]

[Is Actor Chi saying something? So annoying, I can't hear anything.]

[Does the production team not care? Can't they just fix the network?]

[It makes sense, though. It looks like they're deep in the mountains, so bad signal is understandable.]

Everyone started shouting at the director to fix the equipment, and Director Hu was also feeling troubled, not knowing what kind of weird shots the camera would capture next.

Luckily, he didn't stress for long, as the death energy activated by the camera was soon absorbed by Xing Shuangzhan, and the livestream screen went completely black.

Viewers were left confused, not understanding where this was going, but Director Hu let out a deep sigh of relief. He quickly instructed the tech guy to put up an announcement on the livestream, saying that Actor Chi had completed the special segment task.

A flood of question marks appeared in the comments.

What was going on?

So what exactly was this special task, and how did Actor Chi complete it?

Could the production team explain something clearly?

Mysterious people, get out of Dragon Country!!

However, the director decided to stay silent. Even though the hashtag #WhatWasChiQingzhouSpecialTask# was trending, he didn't explain a single word, not even bothering to capitalize on the trending topic.

The other guests immediately realized the situation was serious after seeing the director's behavior.

They remembered what Chi Qingning had relayed to them and obediently stayed in the villa's living room, pretending to watch TV but actually grouping together for safety.

Shen Wenxing, curious, opened Chi Qingzhou's livestream and quickly grew more solemn.

He continued to watch the stream while heading to the living room to find the others. Seeing that everyone was being cautious, he quietly pulled a talisman out of his pocket, prepared to act at any moment.

After all, he was an exorcist and had a responsibility to protect ordinary people.

Only Xue Jinshi was completely unaware of the situation.

He couldn't understand what everyone was doing, finding them all strange and muttering to himself. He rolled his eyes. "Bunch of weirdos."

No one bothered to engage with him, not even arguing with him.

He scoffed, not wanting to stir up trouble, and turned back to his room.

The director stretched his neck to glance at Xue Jinshi, assuming he had gone back to rest, and sank back into the sofa, content to pretend to be oblivious.

Meanwhile, Xue Jinshi quietly observed for a while upstairs. When he saw no one was paying attention to him, he hurriedly grabbed a black plastic bag and slipped out of the villa.

Earlier, he had stubbornly refused to part with any of his cosmetics, but now he regretted it.

He had packed too much stuff, and the oversized suitcase had been heavy and cumbersome.

Earlier while washing up, he had quietly reorganized his things, removing the less important items and packing them into a plastic bag, waiting for the right moment to dispose of them.

Xue Jinshi carefully pushed open the villa's front door, glancing back at the corner of the living room blocked by the entrance decorations. He walked out smugly, making sure the door was securely shut behind him.

As soon as he stepped outside, the sudden drop in temperature of the mountain night caused him to shiver involuntarily, and he instinctively tried to sneeze.

He remembered to keep his actions secret, afraid the other guests would notice something was off. So, he hurriedly walked away from the entrance, looking around to make sure no one was watching, before he let out the sneeze.

In the distance, the shadows of the trees seemed to move, as though something was lurking in the greenery.

Xue Jinshi warily glanced over but saw nothing and quickly continued on to the spot where he had changed clothes earlier during the afternoon game.
