I was suddenly drenched in cold sweat. 0
 
What on earth is this place? 0
 
To confirm whether I was really at Hai Di Lao, I hurriedly grabbed the waiter who was wiping the table next to me. 0
 
I stammered, "Excuse me, is this Hai Di Lao?" 0
 
The waiter paused for a moment. 0
 
Then he nodded. 0
 
"Yes." 0
 
"This is indeed Hai Di Lao." 0
 
I asked again, "Are you human?" 0
 
The waiter looked at me with a puzzled expression. 0
 
"Of course." 0
 
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" 0
 
Hearing his response, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. 0
 
It seemed that I was indeed at Hai Di Lao. 0
 
Those chunks of meat I saw earlier were probably beef. 0
 
The reason I asked the waiter if he was human was that I had heard stories about Painted-Skin Ghost being highly skilled. 0
 
They could change their appearance at will. 0
 
 
It could even disguise itself as other humans. 0
 
That's why I asked that question. 0
 
Now it seems I was overthinking it. 0
 
I probably got a bit jumpy after being startled by the Painted-Skin Ghost earlier. 0
 
So I smiled and said, "It's nothing." 0
 
"Go ahead and continue your work," I told the waiter. 0
 
The waiter nodded and went off to wipe the tables. 0
 
Meanwhile, the comments section was buzzing— 0
 
"Whoa!" 0
 
"Qian Qian, are you scared silly?" 0
 
"Qian Qian, did you see a ghost?" 0
 
"Don't be afraid, Qian Qian!" 0
 
"We're all here supporting you!" 0
 
I looked at those comments, feeling secretly touched. 0
 
I didn't expect the online community to care about me so much. 0
 
It seems I'm quite popular after all! 0
 
 
Thinking of this, I picked up my chopsticks, ready to eat the hot pot noodles. 0
 
But to my surprise, what I saw in the bowl was not noodles at all! 0
 
Instead, it was a bowl full of plump white maggots! 0
 
Each maggot seemed to be grinning at me! 0
 
What the hell! 0
 
What is this thing? 0
 
It's too creepy! 0
 
I was so startled that I screamed and threw the bowl away! 0
 
At that moment, a line of red text flashed across the screen— 0
 
“Qian Qian, have you encountered Ghostly Veil?” 0
 
Qian Qian was experiencing an unusual situation at Hai Di Lao Hot Pot Restaurant, and netizens informed her through the comments that she was actually still in the hallway and advised her to run quickly. 0
 
Feeling panicked, Qian Qian tried to curse at the filthy things surrounding her, a method taught to her by Daoist Master Wu Xie. 0
 
She did her best to shout out the most vicious curses she could think of, hoping to protect herself. 0
 
Encouraged by the netizens, Qian Qian continued to curse until she finally broke the Ghostly Veil, and her surroundings transformed back from the hot pot restaurant to the hallway. 0
 
Qian Qian felt incredibly relieved, believing she had finally escaped the illusion. 0
 
 
Qian Qian decided to attempt an escape from the corridor. She did not believe Daoist Master Wu Xie's words, thinking that even if Painted-Skin Ghost had set its sights on her, she still had a chance to flee. 0
 
She approached the elevator, ready to take it down. 0
 
Daoist Master Wu Xie informed Qian Qian through the comments that she could not escape Painted-Skin Ghost's tracking, as it had already fixated on her skin. 0
 
Despite this, Qian Qian insisted on trying; she was unwilling to give up any chance of survival. 0
 
In a frenzy, Qian Qian ran through the corridor, attempting to evade Painted-Skin Ghost's pursuit. 0
 
Following Daoist Master Wu Xie's instructions, she continuously cursed the filthy things around her in an effort to drive them away. 0
 
During her escape, Qian Qian felt a chill breeze blowing from behind, which filled her with intense unease. 0
 
She quickened her pace and dashed toward the elevator. 0
 
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Qian Qian managed to squeeze inside. 0
 
She pressed the close button, hoping to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible. 0
 
However, when she looked up, she found the elevator empty. 0
 
Daoist Master Wu Xie informed Qian Qian through the comments that she had successfully shaken off Painted-Skin Ghost. 0
