263: Chapter 263 I just don't believe in evil

"Th-then what happened?" the director swallowed hard and asked in a low voice.

"Sigh, after that, the Villagers often saw the ghosts of the old man and that woman. Every time they encountered them, they would fall into a serious illness upon returning home. Those with stronger constitutions could survive, but those who were weaker would just die from the sickness!"

Mentioning this, the Villagers couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, "What a sin!"

The Film Crew was already numb.

This was already the third version they had heard; which one was actually true?

At this moment, someone secretly looked into the car.

In an instant, his blood seemed to freeze.

Because that woman was actually gone!

"P-p-people, the person is gone!"

"What?"

The others also looked into the car.

Sure enough, the car was completely empty.

Where could there be any trace of the woman?

Someone gathered the courage to get into the car to check and found water stains on the back seat.

In other words, that woman was not their hallucination, but had truly existed!

This made everyone even more afraid.

The Villagers also realized something and said with panicked eyes, "You, you actually provoked them?"

"It's not like that, at that time it was just..." the director wanted to explain.

But the Villagers wouldn't listen to him at all.

One villager even said viciously, "No wonder this perfectly fine road was suddenly blocked today. It must be because you provoked those two evil ghosts! They deliberately caused the mountain to collapse just to keep you here!"

"Right, right, it must be your fault!"

The other Villagers also chimed in.

The director opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn't know how to explain it.

After all, he didn't even know what was going on himself.

After the Villagers concluded this, they completely lost their previous enthusiasm.

They didn't say another word to the Film Crew.

They even sped up clearing the road, and soon cleared a small gap in the path.

They had all come out on motorcycles, and seeing that the width was just enough to pass, they rode off.

Leaving only the Film Crew in disarray in the rain.

"Director, what should we do now?" the assistant asked in a panic.

"What else can we do? Keep digging!" the director felt annoyed.

The Film Crew had no choice but to continue digging together.

Everyone was feeling anxious, thinking about digging the road open quickly to leave this place sooner.

The director paced back and forth anxiously, "What bad luck, we didn't even provoke them, so why were we the ones who got entangled?"

He kept muttering to himself.

Suddenly, he saw Lin Xiao not far away.

Recalling the rumors he had heard about Lin Xiao before, the director suddenly had an idea and trotted over to Lin Xiao.

"Um, Lin Xiao, look, the situation is so complicated now, can you do some Fortune Telling and see if there really is a ghost that wants the lives of everyone in our car?"

The director had a slightly fawning look on his face.

But Lin Xiao sighed softly, "Director, you should know that for my Fortune Telling, I need..."

"Fate?" the director guessed curiously.

"Money!"

Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with the director and stated his price very directly, "Just five hundred thousand! I need to participate in a twenty-billion project!"

The director's eyes widened, "What? Five hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Lin Xiao was surprised, "Isn't that what I'm doing?"

"..."

The director really didn't understand.

The prestigious Lin Family was a prominent figure in the capital, so why did this Young Master of the Lin Family give off such a strange vibe?

It was as if he had fallen into a money pit!

After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "A twenty-billion project? What is that?"

Lin Xiao looked into the distance, "The flag-raising ceremony for Nezha 2."

"..."

Young Master Lin, since you have the ability, why don't you contribute a little bit to our film when the time comes?

The director raised his hand to grab his hair, spun around in place in a breakdown, and managed to hold back from saying what was on his mind.

He continued to ask patiently, "Five hundred thousand, how many sessions will you look at?"

Lin Xiao slowly raised his hand and held up one finger, "One session."

The director also raised his hand, trembling.

It was just that he reached towards his own face and pinched his philtrum hard to prevent himself from fainting from anger.

It wasn't that he was stingy, it was that he really couldn't come up with that much money.

Rather than haggling with Lin Xiao here, it would be better to quickly clear the road and go back.

He picked up a shovel from the ground and shoved it into Lin Xiao's hand, "The situation is urgent, please, Young Master of the Lin Family, help us dig!"

"Ah? This... wouldn't be very good, would it?"

Lin Xiao looked at the shovel, his face full of hesitation.

The director was going crazy, "What's not good about it?"

Lin Xiao had a complex look in his eyes, "Sigh, if I put this shovel down, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just five hundred thousand!"

The director's mentality had already exploded due to today's situation and Lin Xiao's attitude.

He said without even thinking, "Stop making so many excuses. Look, everyone is digging now. If you want to leave quickly, you have to help too!"

Su Yu saw the situation here and hurried over.

Looking at the shovel in Lin Xiao's hand, she immediately advised, "Wait a minute, Director, you had better not let my younger brother dig!"

Before the director could refute, she recounted Lin Xiao's deeds from this period.

Like digging up corpses in the suburbs, digging up ancient tombs during military training, and even while peeing at school, he could manage to splash up two old cold cases.

The director seemed to recall these things, and a flash of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

But he had always refused to believe in evil.

Once his stubborn temper flared up, no one could stop him.

He still insisted, "I don't believe in that messy stuff. To ensure everyone can go back early today, no one is allowed to slack off!"

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly and said to Su Yu, "Third Sister, then please help me record a video as evidence to prove that he insisted on making me dig, not that I wanted to dig myself. Any problems that arise later have nothing to do with me, and I will not be responsible for them!"

Su Yu had no choice but to do as he asked.

After everything was ready, Lin Xiao took the shovel to the side of the dirt pile on the road and was about to start digging directly.

"Wait a moment!"

Su Yu couldn't help but interrupt.

She carefully looked at the surrounding situation and said seriously, "You can't dig here. This is right in the middle of the road. If a collapse happens, the car really won't be able to pass through."

Actually, what she didn't say was that since Lin Xiao decided on this spot, it meant that there was most likely a problem here.

If she let Lin Xiao change positions now, maybe she could break the curse on him.

At least this time, it wouldn't cause any more trouble.

Lin Xiao thought about it, and it seemed like this side really wasn't suitable for a collapse.

He and Su Yu wandered around the side for several laps.

After picking and choosing, they finally found a location near the side of the road.

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Just here. You can just dig a couple of times symbolically. Anyway, there are so many people here, one more of you isn't many, and one less of you isn't few."
