Song Jixing heard this news from the actor who played the third male lead in her crew.

Their filming crew had rented the hotel next to the film studio to shoot scenes, and they ate breakfast at the hotel every day.

Today's breakfast clearly had far fewer people than usual.

The actor who played the third male lead was a veteran performer and a firm materialist and martial arts enthusiast.

Since they were all part of the same crew, it was inevitable that there would be some discussions around the fight scenes. Not only were Song Jixing's own fight scenes shot beautifully, but she was also able to provide pointers to the moves of other people in the crew. As a result, she had pretty good relationships with the other actors.

It wouldn't be accurate to say they had an especially close relationship, but exchanging a few words was not a problem at all.

Di Weiyuan held his porcelain white little bowl and noisily slurped the millet porridge in it. After he finished one mouthful and put the bowl down, he continued talking to Song Jixing: "It's not just Director Zhang. I heard that the producer and yesterday's assistant director also went! A whole bunch of people from our crew went!"

Sitting properly to one side, Song Jixing curiously asked: "Went to the temple to do what?"

Hearing this, Di Weiyuan became spirited, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time: "They went to the temple to pray for peace of mind!"

"During the boat scene we were shooting yesterday afternoon when I wasn't there, I heard that a whole group of people emerged from the water. My neighbor Little Chen told me about it. He said someone from our crew went to investigate..."

"And guess what?" Di Weiyuan grew more excited as he spoke. "There are only three rivers and a few ponds in this film studio. Yesterday there were only three crews shooting scenes in the water. One was shooting a modern drama, one was shooting a scene of a hero rescuing a beauty who fell into the water! So there was no need for that many extras at all!"

"Afterwards, someone in our crew mentioned this to Director Zhang, but Director Zhang didn't believe it at first. He took a bunch of people to check the security footage! The footage from yesterday afternoon was missing - it just so happened to cover the time when that group of people appeared after swimming up from the water."

After Di Weiyuan finished speaking, he picked up his porridge bowl again and continued slurping it down with relish. As he ate, he sized up Song Jixing's expression to see if there were any signs of fear, but she seemed to be contemplating something instead.

Then he spoke again in a more settled manner: "Don't worry too much about it either. This happened in broad daylight - how could there be so many weird things? And there are so many people going in and out of the studio every day, it's not uncommon for people to trick extras out of money either. With so many eyes around, how could they possibly be ghosts!"

"Who knows, maybe that rental crew had ghosts on their minds, so they stirred up this whole thing."

Song Jixing nodded along politely, silently feeling relieved.

Fortunately she had acted quickly to delete the security footage before the director had a chance to see it. Otherwise her martial arts brothers and sisters directly emerging from the water would have been discovered.

The filming this time happened to take place in water, and there was no guarantee they would be so lucky next time. Just imagining a whole group of people suddenly materializing out of thin air made Song Jixing feel afraid.
