Chapter 424 (2/2)
“That’s for sure. There are no ghosts and supernatural phenomena in this world. It’s all just psychosomatic.” Li Lina smiled mysteriously.
Then, she asked expressively, sarcastically even, “I suppose that you would definitely pen a new novel that was loosely or completely based on this place as the background, and the female ghost as the origin, right?”
“Of course. I do this to help readers understand more about the hidden secrets in this world and the dangers, while reminding them to be careful,” Zhao Song replied, looking as sincere as one could ever be.
“Still, from what I’ve seen, you’ve only encouraged your readers, if anything. And then Well, there’s no ‘then’” Li Lina said sardonically.
“I’m not to be blamed. I put everything into making sure it all adds up that the realism levels are off the charts. For them, I’ve risked my neck, heading into many dangerous, supernatural sites, and have written the endings of those characters in the most disastrous of retellings, all to discourage everyone from being reckless I suffered this much for their sake. One day, the ghosts might just take me,” Zhao Song was no longer able to keep the fear from his voice.
“But you didn’t. Instead, you became quite successful by relying on circulating all sorts of supernatural stories and terrifying ghosts novels. Why’s that?” asked Li Lina.
“I’m just more careful than most. Speaking of which, you seem to have refuted many rumors about supernatural phenomena, and have even conducted a series – “Walking into Science.” You definitely know more stuff. But I don’t see you working a way out of this. Why’s that?” asked Zhao Song in reply.
“Hehe, I’m not in the mood to play riddles with you. Anyway, as long as we don’t get in each others’ ways, we’ll be fine. I came here to refute the rumors. No matter how strange this Feng Men Village is, it seems completely normal to me. No one can stop those who are adventurous at heart from exploring to this place.”
“That’s right. Therefore, I will write the upcoming scenes in a more horrifying, frightening way, and let everyone know just how dangerous this place is. I hope that my cute readers will not think that I’m fabricating something”
“You better keep an eye on Ou Yang. That guy claims himself to be a fan of your work, but he is not as simple as he looks. He seems to be harboring some ulterior motives. We still don’t know which side he belongs to.”
“Is it possible? No matter how I see it, he’s just another nobody who would quickly get done in by the ‘owner’ of this place. Are you implying that such a detective could come to an actual conclusion?
Li Lina no longer spoke. She had placed a few cameras around the area. She no longer seemed like a reporter, but more like a secret agent.
When Zhao Song learned that the group of youngsters had started to seek for death, he remained most calm, as if they no longer concerned him. Perhaps he had faith in his own preparations. Besides, he had the black cat ancestor with him
Wait wasn’t he overlooking something? When he jerked impulsively, only did he spot the passerby girl staring at him with interest.
Zhao Youyue had overheardno…she had sat in plain sight and listened openly to the conversation that had been laden with a considerable amount of information. It had taken place between a rumor-refuting reporter and a realistic supernatural genre novelist.
