Chapter 619: Chapter 618: Even Cultivation Requires An Exam

Black Tortoise agreed to help, and Lotus smiled serenely in front of the camera, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Your fated person is asleep right now, I’ll go wake her up."

After finishing her words, Lotus walked away from the camera.

After a while, she walked back into frame.

It was the same face, but the previous "Lotus" seemed noble and cold, whereas the Lotus now appeared youthful and naive.

[No wonder I found Little Auntie’s reactions strange, it turns out that the person just now wasn’t the real fated person.]

[More than that, I wonder whether she was even human at all, unbelievable!]

[So who was that Lotus just now?]

"Little, Little Auntie, what’s happening? Did I get chosen? Why do I feel like I’ve lost my memory after going to the toilet?" The Lotus that had just appeared in front of the camera asked, looking bewildered.

Seeing what the netizens in the Live Broadcast Room were saying about someone identical to her taking her place as the fated person, Lotus shivered, "No way, someone who looks exactly like me wants to take my place, but why would she do that?"

The netizens in the Live Broadcast Room analyzed the situation frantically, Mianmian saw that the fated person was still quite shook up, and took the initiative to say, "Hello, Lotus, are you looking for Mianmian to catch ghosts?"

Hearing Mianmian ask this, Lotus shook her head vigorously, forcing herself to regain her composure.

She nodded in response to Mianmian and said, "Yes, I want to ask Little Auntie for help in catching a ghost. There’s a girl at our school who jumped off our dormitory building not long ago because of depression. She didn’t die on the spot but was taken to the hospital by ambulance. On the way to the hospital, however, she was involved in a series of car accidents and died instantly. Since the night her death was announced, our dormitory has become very scary."

As Lotus spoke, she seemed to see some terrifying scenes, shivering intensely.

As Lotus recounted her story, the netizens also felt as if they had entered those scenarios, getting goosebumps in broad daylight.

Like at night after self-study, when everyone was about to return to their dorms, they would see a long-haired student blocking the way on the road. Initially they thought to tell that student not to stand in the middle of the road, but when that student turned around, it was still long, black hair...

Then there were times in the middle of the night when they were sleeping, the wardrobe doors suddenly opened, and someone touched their feet...

The most absurd moment was in the toilet when suddenly someone reached out a hand and asked them for toilet paper...

"We, we really are almost going mad, I’m a local. To avoid her, I deliberately came home," Lotus swallowed and, still frightened, patted her chest before gloomily saying, "These scenes aren’t just being experienced by one person, we found out through Qi that everyone had encountered them. We asked the school to invite high monks or daoist priests to hold a ceremony to take away her soul. But the school said that inviting such people would give everyone a bad impression of our school, telling us to quietly burn some paper money and say a few kind words to her."

The girls did as they were told and indeed burned paper money for that deceased girl, but this proved to be useless.

She wanted to scare them, and no amount of paper money could resolve that.

The paper money the girls bought was even deliberately purchased from the Su Family’s Company to ensure its authenticity.

Later, some girls even pooled money to invite a well-known local daoist priest to disguise himself as a woman and expel ghosts in the dormitory. But the daoist priest was so scared that he wet himself and was beaten by the dormitory supervisor who mistook him for a pervert.

"We’ve also submitted reports to the Supernatural Management Bureau," Lotus continued, "but the Management Bureau keeps evaluating our case without acting on it; we are still beyond the 200th in the queue. There must be too many people with difficulties, they can’t handle them all."

[There’s no helping it, there are so many people in the country, just relying on Ling Xiao Temple’s daoist priests, indeed they can’t handle everything.]

[I’ve seen that the monks from Shifang Temple have joined in, but there still aren’t enough people.]

[Why don’t they recruit some individual practitioners? Don’t novels always say there are some solitary cultivators and the like?]

Mianmian could actually answer this question.

She seriously educated the audience, "Actually, orthodox daoist priests and monks have their own identification records and they are all recorded in the national archives. Naturally, they can directly become employees of the Supernatural Management Bureau. As for the individual practitioners, they don’t have this identity. At first, a batch of them were employed, but when Daoist Master Qing Xu found out they were taking bribes, he decided to raise the threshold."

"Now, individual practitioners seeking to join the Supernatural Management Bureau must undergo rigorous vetting — everything from what their ancestors did over five generations to whether they have committed any misdeeds has to be divined by Daoist Master Qing Xu, and only those who are fully qualified can get in," she added.

Mianmian’s comments truly astonished the audience.

As ordinary people, from a young age, they received education and took exams. They thought once they matured and started working, there would be no more exams, but there were still various assessments. For ordinary certificates, as long as you work hard, there’s a chance you can get one. But if you want a secure job in the establishment, it’s indeed very difficult.

Within the establishment, there’s a requirement for political screening, reviewing whether there have been any criminal records in the family for three generations.

[I thought, if I could cultivate, maybe I’d be a prodigy and immediately become a hot commodity in the Supernatural Management Bureau... Well, turns out even cultivators need to be assessed, right?]

[Hahaha, the guy before, you actually think your life is a novel, with you as a hot commodity prodigy. We ordinary folk just need to take good care of our own little plot, and I think it’s not bad to have tall people bear the sky when it falls.]

[Forget it, let’s just be honest ordinary people. I’m afraid even as a cultivator I’d have to study.]

"You’d definitely have to study," Mianmian confirmed what the netizens said, "Anyway, Daoist Master Qing Xu is also very busy, having to allocate manpower to handle public submissions."

Seeing everyone discussing the "Supernatural Management Bureau Establishment," Lotus became anxious, "Little Auntie, don’t get sidetracked, what about my problem? I’ll give a tip... Oh, did that person who posed as me already tip? Could she be the ghost from our school?"

"No, no, Mianmian will solve your problem right away, you go to your school first, Mianmian will come to find you soon," Mianmian reassured her.

"Ah? You’re coming to find me soon? But I’m in South City..." Lotus began.

Before Lotus could finish, the audience in the Broadcasting Room answered for Mianmian: [Don’t worry about Little Auntie’s business, just go to the school if you’re told to.]

Only then did Lotus stop talking, took her mobile phone, hailed a taxi, and arrived at the school.

There were very few people in the school.

Lotus found it strange and asked the gatekeeper what was happening.

The gatekeeper was pale and simply said, "What’s happening? What else can be happening, the school has nearly become a Ghost House. We’ve invited so many people, but none could help; I’ve been considering resigning."

Lotus looked shocked, "Didn’t the principal say not to invite anyone for help?"
