Chapter 1485: Chapter 905: Familiar_4
"’Yinren’ are ghostly creatures from their folklore, things that like to hide in dark places, especially narrow and cramped corners. If someone accidentally enters such a place, they will be dragged away and killed." Zhang Jianjun was concise, this was no time for idle talk, "There’s a rumor they’re afraid of light; spacious and well-lit areas are their forbidden zones."
Jiang Qingluan turned on the speaker, allowing everyone to hear Zhang Jianjun’s words clearly, especially Munan, whose eyes brightened at this moment.
This intelligence was crucial, arriving just in time. In retrospect, whether it was Chen Moting or Zhou Mingxiao, both were killed hiding in dark concealed places.
But they shouldn’t be blamed; after all, who would have thought that this time the Ghost acted contrary to their nature, hiding more cleverly made it easier to be found and killed.
Zhang Jianjun advised Munan to be careful, he could be heard to still have a sense of gratitude towards her, after all, not many dared to take risks for others in the Nightmare World.
"Miss Munan, it seems you were right, you will survive, we all will." Chen Nang’s previously dim eyes now brightened.
"Stop!" Munan gestured for silence, "Don’t pop the champagne halfway, no matter what, I’ll give my all!"
"Wait for that Ghost to come for you today, remember to run to open areas, don’t stay inside buildings, it’s best to be on the streets or in places like squares," Yang Xiao advised.
"Don’t worry." Munan nodded, at this moment her heart was also ignited with hope.
She was far luckier than Mr. Zhou Mingxiao. If Mr. Zhou had known this information earlier, perhaps he would not have died.
But the Nightmare World has no ifs, dead is dead, this isn’t a game.
After hanging up the phone, the four waited by the roadside and caught a black car, speeding towards Rongjin Building.
Over half an hour later, as they neared their destination, suddenly, Jiang Qingluan’s phone rang, it was Xu Yan from the props company.
Upon answering, Xu Yan first apologized for having hidden something before, then invited them over, saying that to show sincerity, she had used her connections to find several films shot by Chen’s Strange Company.
"Did you find the East Mountain Machinery Factory movie?" Jiang Qingluan’s voice filled with excitement.
"Ah, that one hasn’t been found, but I found several others, including the Demolition New Village Ghost Fire incident and the Xinmin Middle School Women’s Apartment self-immolation case."
Xu Yan continued, "Although I haven’t found the East Mountain Machinery Factory movie yet, I found some old photos of the factory, all real shots. There are also photos after the fire, do you need them? If you do, I’ll provide them for you, so President Zhou can have a reference if he wants to remake a similar movie."
Jiang Qingluan lifted her head and looked at Yang Xiao, who nodded at her, and she blinked, understanding, "That would be troublesome, President Zhou has a meeting tonight, and he can’t go. Can I go get them for him?"
"Of course, you can." Xu Yan had invested a lot to secure this business, utilizing her network.
"Is it convenient for me to come over now?"
"Convenient, I’ll be waiting at the usual place." Xu Yan’s attitude was very courteous.
"Thank you." Jiang Qingluan thanked her and hung up the call.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Nang told the driver the new address, and their group prepared to meet Xu Yan.
Soon, they arrived at the usual spot, where Xu Yan, dressed in a small suit and high heels, was already waiting, holding a bag.
This time, to avoid trouble, only Jiang Qingluan went over while the others watched from nearby.
Jiang Qingluan found Xu Yan alone, they exchanged pleasantries, and as "President Zhou’s" assistant, Jiang Qingluan easily obtained the films and materials Xu Yan provided.
But before parting, Xu Yan couldn’t help but mention Zhou Mingxiao, indirectly asking when President Zhou might come, as their company’s leaders wanted to invite President Zhou to dinner and casually talk business.
"President Zhou is very busy lately, going on a business trip tomorrow morning, how about this, do you think the day after tomorrow works? I can help arrange a meeting with President Zhou." Jiang Qingluan behaved very elegantly, she was originally the Yi Sect’s young priest, holding a status not inferior to an elder.
"Sure, sure, any time is good for us, then... I’ll leave it to you, Miss Jiang." Xu Yan’s mood visibly improved.
"Manager Xu, our President Zhou is very interested in that East Mountain Machinery Factory movie, if you can find it, I think President Zhou would be very pleased, but preferably soon." Jiang Qingluan continued nudging Xu Yan.
"Understood! I’ve already asked someone to look for that movie, please assure President Zhou, there will be results soon, and I’ll contact you immediately once I have them."
Saying that, Xu Yan familiarly hooked her arm around Jiang Qingluan’s, appearing close as if they were sisters, Xu Yan smiled lowly and said, "Miss Jiang, I, Xu Yan, am someone who remembers kindness, as long as...as long as this business works out, I definitely won’t treat you poorly, hmm...this is also what our leadership intends."
"Then I owe my thanks to Ms. Xu Yan." Jiang Qingluan feigned a surprised look as if flattered.
"You’re too kind, little sister, far too polite!"
After a round of sisterly camaraderie, Jiang Qingluan left with the items, and once out of Xu Yan’s sight, the others joined her. They found a secluded area, opened the bag, and inside was a black disc box without any outer packaging, opening it revealed two discs, with nothing printed on them.
