Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Ghost-catching with Plastic Wrap, Killing Ghosts with a Frying Pan

Feng Xue did not respond to Catherine’s words; instead, she selfishly put on a bulky gadget that resembled VR glasses from decades ago onto her face and subsequently handed another pair to Catherine.

Upon seeing this, Catherine immediately linked the live streaming platform’s equipment with k-729 for the convenience of allowing the viewers in her stream to see from her perspective.

However, as soon as the equipment activated, the chat exploded—

[Holy shit, I now understand why this crappy thing doesn’t sell!]

[What kind of ghostly field of view is this? I don’t even get dizzy with 6D illusions, but this thing made me want to throw up in three seconds!]

[To the comment above, where did you experience 6D illusions? Weren’t those banned?]

[Open up, tax inspection!]

...

Catherine no longer had the heart to pay attention to the live stream’s chat; at that moment, she felt her brain was overheating, with a vast amount of information emerging before her eyes. They transformed the normally invisible into visuals that the brain could barely comprehend, which significantly increased the brain’s information processing level after being distinguished from normal vision.

However, Feng Xue appeared entirely composed, even taking over the commentary from a dizzy Catherine to explain to those viewers who had exited the "streamer’s view" due to nausea:

"Ghosts can be viewed as probability clouds that require intense observation for detection. Why do legends say that women are more likely to see ghosts than men? It’s not due to mystical reasons like Yang energy, but purely because of visual perception.

"Humans usually have three types of cone cells (cells that differentiate color); if someone has fewer or none of one type, they can develop color weaknesses or even color blindness. Sometimes, a subset of people have a fourth type of cone cell, which enhances their ability to discern colors beyond normal.

"Since they can gather more information through observation, these people with the fourth type of cone cells are more prone to seeing ghosts. This fourth type mostly appears in females, which is why more women report seeing ghosts.

"As for the legendary Yin Yang Eyes, it is actually this type of natural mutation that enhances one’s vision, for example, being able to see ultraviolet or infrared light."

[Fuck! This makes so much sense!]

[No wonder I can’t distinguish my girlfriend’s lipstick shades; she has an extra type of color vision than me!]

[So those men who claim they can differentiate are actually...]

Looking at the chaotic comments in the chat, Feng Xue was pretending to be oblivious while she looked around the room. Unable to endure the k-729, Catherine simply took off the device, using it as a handheld camera to provide a "ghost-catching view" for those who could tolerate it, and quickly caught up with Feng Xue, delivering timely comments to ensure good show effect.

With a professional comedian setting up the jokes, Feng Xue’s explanation went on smoothly. When she finally got to how to deal with ghosts, her speech suddenly stopped.

Before she could start speaking again, the live stream’s chat suddenly exploded, for at that moment, a few viewers using the k-729 view began frenziedly sending comments.

[Holy shit!]

[I saw it! I saw it!]

[Is this what a ghost looks like?]

[It looks pretty unique!]

...

As the chat began to grow, more and more people, enduring discomfort, flooded into the K-729 view mode, and then, they saw the so-called ghost—

The thing looked roughly human-shaped, but like naked eye 4D effects, it gave off an illusory feeling; however, compared to its illusory body, its eyes conveyed a real and terrifying presence.

Those were eyes that looked as if they had stayed awake for half a month, with blood vessels crawling all over the whites and an unnerving mutation apparent on the iris. Those eyes were now fixed dead on Catherine, the feeling as if they were ready to pounce and devour her at any moment.

"Ah—"

Finally, Catherine let out a horrific scream, but few viewers comforted the streamer, their attention was elsewhere—

Catherine hadn’t put on the k-729 yet!

[Could this be the Yin Yang Eyes? No wonder the streamer can spot ghosts!]

Such a comment appeared on the screen, but it was quickly rebutted because those viewers who had not yet entered k-729 also finally caught sight of that weird figure.

"This is what being observed looks like. When a ghost is observed by enough people, its form collapses. In such a state, even ordinary people can see it, but once the number of observers decreases sufficiently, it will revert back to a probability cloud until it achieves self-observation or is observed by someone else."

"What should we do now?" Catherine suppressed the fear in her heart, her voice trembling, uncertain whether it was an act or true emotion.

Feng Xue was completely in the mode of "I’ve seen worse, this trouble is nothing," and naturally said,

"Of course, we catch it."

Saying this, he opened his carry-on suitcase and began to rummage through it.

[What is the master looking for?]

[Dumb, of course, it’s a ghost-catching implement]

[I think it should be a crucifix and peach wood nails]

[That’s for vampires, for ghosts, it should be talismans]

...

The chat in the live room was in an uproar over what Mr. Dunn was searching for, and after a round of searching that seemed for show effect, Feng Xue pulled out a roll...

"Plastic wrap?" Catherine looked perplexedly at the item in Feng Xue’s hand, which appeared to be the latest model from Purple Light Kitchen and Bath based on the packaging, but no matter how technologically advanced it was, it was still just a roll of plastic wrap!

"Yeah, actually using plastic sheeting or something similar would work too."

Feng Xue said, handing one end of the plastic wrap to Catherine to help hold, while he continually unrolled it and slowly moved towards the "ghost," all the while explaining to Catherine (and the viewers):

"To catch a ghost, one must maintain constant observation, because even a single blink might allow it to slip away. It can’t move now because your eyes, my eyes, and the thousands in the live room have fixed it in place. So to bind a ghost, one must never use anything that could obstruct the view. Since ordinary ghosts don’t strongly interfere with reality, they can’t really tear through the plastic wrap, making it the most economical method for ghost-catching."

As he spoke, the plastic wrap was already pressed against the "ghost’s" face, the obvious protrusion causing another uproar in the live room.

And like he had done it countless times before, Feng Xue swiftly and adeptly wrapped the ghost from head to toe like wrapping a rice dumpling until the roll of plastic wrap was exhausted, leaving a human-shaped plastic wrap mummy in the room.

"That, with the plastic wrap so thick, we can’t see inside anymore, is this okay?" Catherine looked worriedly at the motionless human form on the floor, to which Feng Xue naturally replied:

"That’s another benefit of plastic wrap—it naturally sticks together, forming a sealed space, allowing the probability cloud to dissipate only within this space."

"What should we do with this?" Catherine looked at the "plastic wrap mummy," worried about improperly storing it and accidentally letting it escape, Feng Xue, hearing this, unusually showed a serious look and said:

"A more classical method would be to throw it into a frying pan and fry it, using high temperature to mutate the ghost’s information. However, this method has a certain chance of damaging the container sealing the ghost first, causing the ghost to escape, so a modern technique is to use an air fryer... of course, it has to be a large one."
