Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Speak Nicely, Or I’ll Split You Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Speak Nicely, Or I’ll Split You The people in the livestream, including Director Clark and the others outside, could not see the black ghostly aura spreading inside the room; they could only see Scarlett Jennings seemingly break character all of a sudden, her expression turning serious for a brief moment. Before everyone could grasp what was happening, there came a snapping sound. It was as if wood had cracked. Someone was the first to notice something was wrong, pointing at the filming house with a look of shock. The next second, everyone heard a rumbling noise, and the entire roof in front of them collapsed without warning! “Ah!!” Someone at the scene screamed, and those monitoring the shoot outside, including Director Clark and Director Xu, stood up immediately, their faces turning pale as they looked at the suddenly collapsed roof. “Save, save them! Quick, save them!!” Scarlett Jennings and Ianthe Lawson were still inside! Evander Simpson and others were the first to rush in when the incident happened. They flung the door open with a bang. However, the scenario they imagined of the people inside being buried under the rubble did not occur. When the door opened, everyone saw that the people inside were still standing where they had been. Only a one-meter circle around Scarlett Jennings was clear of broken wood and tiles. At first glance, the debris from the collapsed roof seemed to have deliberately avoided them. No, that’s not it. Rather than the debris actively avoiding them, it looked as if a barrier had risen around them out of nowhere, holding back the collapsed roof. Just before the roof fell, it seemed as if all the equipment from both the film crew and the production team was somehow interfered with and lost all footage. However, this didn’t stop the livestream audience from speculating. After all, this wasn’t the first time they had experienced a loss of live feed. [It’s a barrier! My girl must have waved her hand and created a barrier!] [Impossible, wasn’t that incantation too fast for that?] [The roof fell so suddenly without warning, who’d have time to recite an incantation? You’d get knocked out before you finished reciting.] [What nonsense are you talking about? Wasn’t my girl standing there perfectly fine with the others?!] [Report! There are people here who don’t believe in our Fairy Lady’s immortal techniques! Kick them out!] [Kick them out! Kick them out!] [Our Fairy Lady casting a spell is just a matter of lifting a hand.] [What’s a roof? Even if the sky falls, Fairy Lady Scarlett can hold it up!] [You’re exaggerating just a bit.] [Fairy Lady Scarlett: I can’t, I didn’t, stop relying on me.] Seeing that everyone was safe, the audience in the livestream relaxed and began spamming the chat. Little did they know that the situation was not over on the other side of the livestream. As Evander pushed the door open, Scarlett Jennings quickly reached into her pocket, while reminding, “Evander, Soul Stabilizing!” Evander reacted quickly, immediately tossing the Soul Stabilizing Talisman Scarlett had given him as soon as she spoke. Amber Livingston and Ariel Zimmerman lagged a bit but quickly pulled out their Soul Stabilizing Talismans as well, and the three talismans flew out together, accompanied by the three chanting in unison, “Red light vanishing, Nine Provinces’ fate, go, Talisman recording, stabilize the soul, suppress the spirit, stabilize!” The three Soul Stabilizing Talismans flew out together. They first floated in the air, then zoomed toward the room’s beams as if locking onto something. In the next second, the talismans’ spiritual light flared, rapidly forming a triangle and trapping something in its center with force. You could vaguely see a figure appearing in the mass of black ghost energy. Amber Livingston and Ariel Zimmerman watched the fantastical scene, frightened yet excited. They had succeeded! They caught a Big Ghost on their first try! Who else could do this? However, it wasn’t over yet. Seeing the black ghost energy inside the three Soul Stabilizing Talismans still desperately trying to flee, as if wanting to break free, everyone felt a bit tense watching the scene unfold. The next second, another Talisman flew swiftly toward that cluster of black energy. Accompanied by a familiar clear yet piercing voice chanting sternly, “Heavenly thunder rumbles, earthly thunder dims, above are the six jia, below are the six ding...” With her chanting, everyone saw black clouds gathering rapidly over the crew’s rooftop for some unknown reason. Evander, upon realizing what Talisman Scarlett tossed, had a face that suddenly changed color and pulled Amber Livingston and Ariel Zimmerman back without waiting for her to finish the incantation. “Everyone, get down!” Inside, Ianthe Lawson and the cameraman didn’t react in time, but Sebastian Carew, at least having some tacit understanding, pulled Ianthe and the cameraman down as soon as they heard Evander. Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings’ voice was unhurried, finishing the last two lines, “...the Supreme commands, fix and strike with thunder, boom!” With the final word, everyone saw a bolt of lightning suddenly strike that mass of black energy. “Crack!” Some of the black ghost energy dispersed. With another crack of continuous lightning strikes, the black ghost energy scattered significantly. Everyone came back to their senses, finally managing to barely make out the entity that had been enveloped by the ghost energy...a ghost. Upon seeing the true appearance of the so-called Big Ghost, Scarlett Jennings furrowed her brows slightly. “Are you male or female?” Evander and the others, finally recovering from the lightning strikes, were startled to hear Scarlett’s question and turned their gaze instinctively toward the Big Ghost trapped by the three Soul Stabilizing Talismans. And they were puzzled. Isn’t this a male ghost? Though the ghost was wearing ancient clothes, the garb unmistakably belonged to a male. But as Scarlett did not press further, they felt it wasn’t their place to speak. It took a while, but the Big Ghost finally spoke, its voice gender-neutral and ambiguous. “Do you think I should be male, or female?” Standing beside Evander, Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but whisper, “I think...” Before they could finish, Scarlett Jennings, with a cold and indifferent expression, pulled out another Thunder Talisman, exuding a somewhat callous and ruthless demeanor. “Speak openly, or I’ll strike you again.” For the first time, the group witnessed this straightforward and direct side of Scarlett Jennings. No, it would be more accurate to say she had always been straightforward and direct. Sure enough, as Scarlett’s words fell, the previously questioning Big Ghost showed a trace of panic on its face, followed by a hint of grievance. It was this slight expression that finally made everyone understand why Scarlett had asked if the ghost was male or female. “She’s female! A woman disguised as a man!” Ianthe Lawson exclaimed in a small, surprised voice. Having filmed many historical dramas, including numerous female-disguised-as-male roles, Ianthe was quick to catch on. However, this Big Ghost’s disguise was obviously more meticulous than those in historical dramas. At first glance, no one had recognized it. “Yes, I am indeed a woman.” The Big Ghost finally spoke, its voice reverting slightly to a female tone, though the flavor of a male voice still lingered. It seemed she had long gotten used to speaking that way and couldn’t change instantly. “Who are you? Why are you disrupting the filming of our program?” Scarlett Jennings paused before asking gently, “Why are you so fixated on those persecuted women?” The Big Ghost looked at her, seemingly calming down little by little. After a while, it softly asked, “Master, have you heard of the Longhouse Maiden?”
