Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 24 Your "Are You Dead?" Order Has Been Delivered
Shen Lan and Song Shixing rushed over from the left and right, blocking Jiang Nanxi's side. They each grabbed one of Jiang Nanxi's arms to prevent her from escaping.

Jiang Nanxi: ?

Seeing her dissatisfied expression, the director said earnestly, "Nanxi, please cooperate. We're doing this for your own good."

He had long suspected that Jiang Nanxi was possessed by something evil, which was why she sometimes appeared normal and sometimes acted very strangely.

I'll have the old Taoist priest help me handle this tonight, so that no one gets killed in the future on variety shows!
Shen Lan also said, "Once the evil spirit is exorcised, you'll be back to normal."

Jiang Nanxi is completely different from before. Shen Lan had long suspected that there was something wrong with her, but she never expected that she was actually possessed by a ghost!
Shen Lan looked at her with anticipation in her eyes, hoping that Jiang Nanxi would return to normal after the exorcism.

That way, she'll continue to be his devoted follower, paving the way for his career, and she'll definitely forgive his infidelity!

"I'm not running, don't pull me."

Jiang Nanxi shook off their hands and looked at the old Taoist priest not far away. "Then you perform the ritual. I'll see what tricks you can pull. But let me warn you, the child ghost that possessed the doll earlier isn't as simple as you think."

Those were a pair of malevolent spirits, a mother and child; the child ghost has escaped, and it might attract something even more malevolent.

"Something even more ferocious is within you!"

The old Taoist priest held a bell in his hand. His hand didn't move, but the bell kept ringing. He walked over and stuck a talisman on Jiang Nanxi's forehead.

Jiang Nanxi: "..."

This broken talisman?

She's already been reborn as a human, so this exorcism talisman is useless against her. Even if she hadn't been reborn, this talisman wouldn't be able to subdue someone of her level.

The old Taoist priest's voice came again, "I'll use an exorcism talisman to suppress her first. She can't move anymore. Let's hurry up and prepare the things needed for the ritual."

The director and the old Taoist priest went to make preparations together.

This variety show is ridiculous! It's the first time I've seen a variety show exorcise evil spirits for a female celebrity!

[But to be fair, Jiang Nanxi's behavior is really strange. Who in their right mind would crawl in such a dark place? If she crawled in front of me, I'd be scared half to death.]

[In movies, female ghosts like to crawl around on the ground to scare people. Jiang Nanxi must have been influenced by the female ghost inside her, which is why she likes to crawl in the shadows.]

Am I the only one curious about what "Mother and Child Demon" is? Is it two ghosts, one big and one small?

Once they had everything ready, the old Taoist priest performed a ritual in the courtyard, and Jiang Nanxi was led to the center of the courtyard.

The old Taoist priest was holding a bunch of mugwort and was about to whip Jiang Nanxi.

Liu Qingyan frowned and said, "Stop fooling around, this is feudal superstition. I think Jiang Nanxi is quite normal, she's just a bit lively."

director:?
Other people present: ?

Audience: !

"No, bro, she's taking off your clothes and touching you inappropriately, and she's always crawling around in the shadows like an alien. Are you sure that's normal?"

[What? This is the first time I've seen Liu Qingyan speak up for a female celebrity. What's wrong with him? Has he been bewitched?]

[Yan Shen simply doesn't believe in these supernatural things. Maybe Jiang Nanxi isn't possessed by an evil spirit, but simply has a mental illness.]

Upon hearing Liu Qingyan's words, the director stared at Jiang Nanxi with a strange expression for a long time, wondering when this crazy woman had met the national movie star.

Liu Qingyan is aloof and has few friends in the entertainment industry. He doesn't film intimate scenes and rarely interacts with women. Why is he suddenly so eager to speak up for Jiang Nanxi?
This isn't the first time!

Liu Qingyan wanted everyone to remove everything, and the director didn't dare to object for a moment, after all, she was secretly the show's biggest sponsor.

This variety show was produced by an entertainment company under the Song family, but the biggest investor was the Liu family.

The old Taoist priest was somewhat unwilling. He pulled the director aside to persuade him, saying that if they didn't perform the ritual, everyone in the production team would be doomed tonight!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanxi said, "There's no need to remove the things; let them continue the ritual. Old Taoist priest, after you perform the ritual, nothing bad will happen tonight, right? What if something does happen?" "After the ritual, nothing bad will happen!"

The old Taoist priest said, "I've been performing these rituals in these nearby villages for many years and have never failed. If something still goes wrong after the ritual is completed, I'll give you a full refund!"

"Then you can just wait for the refund."

Jiang Nanxi gave him a meaningful look, then said to the director, "Director, you get what you pay for, and the same goes for exorcising evil spirits. Don't be fooled by the fact that he only asked for 200,000, which is cheaper than my 1 million, because my skills are more than five times better than his."

"She's started talking nonsense again."

The old Taoist priest immediately stuck another talisman on Jiang Nanxi's body, saying, "Don't believe her, everyone. She's now being controlled by a female ghost. She's trying to get you to let me leave so she can stop harming people!"

After affixing two exorcism talismans, the old Taoist priest determined that the ghost inside Jiang Nanxi's body couldn't cause trouble. Then, he started taking a bell and circling around the table to perform a ritual.

Seeing the old Taoist priest jumping around and making strange noises, Song Shixing couldn't help but mutter in confusion, "Is he performing an exorcism dance? It's so abstract."

Jiang Nanxi could tell at a glance that this exorcism dance was substandard; not only would it not exorcise evil, it would attract it. This old Taoist priest was nothing but a half-baked fraud!

Jiang Nanxi: "This is not an exorcism dance."

Song Shixing: "What is that?"

Jiang Nanxi: "Did he place an order that led to his death?"

Song Shixing: "..."

Liu Qingyan: "..."

Not long after, the old Taoist priest finished his dance. He pointed his peach wood sword at Jiang Nanxi, and the two talismans on Jiang Nanxi's forehead spontaneously combusted.

The old Taoist priest rushed over, caught the ash from the talismans in a white porcelain bowl, poured some water into the bowl, and handed it to Jiang Nanxi.

"Drink this, and you'll get better."

Jiang Nanxi looked at the murky talisman water with disgust, "It looks useless and tastes awful. Only a fool would drink it."

Despite saying that, she still took the bowl and, with lightning speed, put the rim of the bowl into Shen Lan's mouth and poured the talisman water into it.

Shen Lan's eyes widened suddenly. "Ugh, you...you let me go! What do you mean?!"

"Is this fool drinking talisman water?"

"!!!"

Shen Lan was so angry that her face turned red, but she was so choked by the choking and bent over coughing that she couldn't curse anyone.

The old Taoist priest roared, "What are you doing? This is for you to drink, why are you giving it to someone else! Oh, I know, you've been possessed by the female ghost again!"

The old Taoist priest's expression hardened, and he swung his peach wood sword at Jiang Nanxi, shouting, "Female ghost, prepare to die!"

"Another idiot."

Jiang Nanxi raised her leg and kicked him away.

The old Taoist priest cried out and crashed down next to the old locust tree in the courtyard.

He was about to get up when he suddenly saw a semi-transparent figure floating behind the old locust tree.

The figure was wearing a long white dress, with very long hair hanging down in front, and a sinister eye peeking out from between her hair as she looked at him.
