“Haunted?”

“Yes yes.” Xu Lele nodded vigorously, wanting to tell Lu Xu all of the gossip he knew. “My groupmate’s relative works as a director with Dongcheng TV, and he told him to be extremely careful when filming.”

Although the exterior of the apartment building in front of them had been renovated, it was obvious from the architectural style that it was quite an old building. Dongcheng had many of these old buildings, so there was nothing special about it at first glance.

Seeing that Lu Xu didn’t say anything, Xu Lele thought he must be an atheist, and said hurriedly, “I’m really not lying to you. This building has been empty for years, and no one wanted to buy it. Rumour has it that ghosts will come out every night, a lot of people have seen them. Do you want to know why they’re making us stay here?”

“Why?”

“Sigh, aren’t we a bunch of vigorous men? There’ll be a lot of life energy when we’re gathered together, so they want us to suppress these ghosts.” What Xu Lele was saying was straightforward. He glanced at the apartment building not too far away, and couldn’t help but hug himself and shiver slightly. “I hope there aren’t any female ghosts in there, and even if there are, I really hope they don’t take notice of me.”

“Tch, what era is it already, there are still people in this world who believe in ghosts?” The one who spoke was a BTT member, Xu Haoming. He was tall and looked like someone who worked out often. Xu Lele had been too focused on speaking that he hadn’t even noticed those five people arriving.

He was a bit embarrassed, but also wanted to explain. “I’m really not talking nonsense, a lot of people have seen them…”

Seeing Xu Lele trying to explain, Xu Haoming immediately shot back, “Who has seen them? You?”

Xu Lele was speechless. “Well, no, but…”

“Since you haven’t seen any, then don’t come here and cause panic.” When he spoke, Xu Haoming didn’t forget to side-eye Lu Xu. He sounded impatient. “There are no such things as ghosts in this world, okay.”

Lu Xu, who had been quiet the entire time, smiled slightly, and turned his bright eyes towards Xu Haoming. “Don’t be so sure about things. Who knows, you might see one tonight!”

When Lu Xu said that, a gust of wind suddenly rose, the roses growing along the roadside barriers swaying in the breeze. Lu Xu had his back towards the light. He had a smile on his face, but there was a look in his eyes that made people feel that there was a deeper meaning behind his words.

Under his gaze, Xu Haoming felt a chill rise up his spine, and he forgot what he had wanted to say.

Once he regained his senses, he felt that his reaction had been a bit too panicked, and couldn’t help but say angrily, “What is that supposed to mean?”

Lu Xu simply smiled as he looked at them, clearly not taking this situation to heart.

Song Zhe was standing at the side watching this conflict go down. He saw that there were a few other trainees who were coming up from behind, so he quickly pulled Xu Haoming back. “All right, let’s go.”

Xu Haoming followed behind his groupmates. For some reason, he could not stop thinking about what Lu Xu had just said—

You might see one tonight…

Crazy!

Xu Lele didn’t think the situation would have escalated like that, so he rubbed his ears and tugged at Lu Xu. “Aiya, Xu ge, let’s not care about them. Just take the talisman and take it easy.”
