"Master Cao Kun once helped the crew of 'Girl, Interrupted' and Tom Cruise and his wife solve paranormal problems."

They've also dealt with the terrifying Blair Witch Project. With Master Cao Kun around, our safety is guaranteed.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed.

"I know about The Blair Witch Project. It's currently showing in theaters and has grossed nearly $300 million worldwide."

"Isn't this a movie?"

"This is a composite of a documentary and post-production reshoots. In reality, the Blair Witch Project was a real person."

"Judging from this, this person is really quite capable."

...

A murmur arose below, which Cao Kun caught in his ears.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and they were all looking at him.

Cao Kun found that these people were all in relatively normal mental condition.

There was no yin energy on his body.

This indicates that they did not have close contact with ghosts or monsters.

It now appears that everyone who had close contact with that monster is dead.

Cao Kun saw several familiar faces.

Brendan Fraser, the male lead in the movie "The Mummy," is tall and muscular with a distinctive appearance.

Rachel Weisz, the female lead in "The Mummy".

This woman is from country Y. She is nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure, delicate features, and a quiet and intellectual demeanor.

Her role is that of a historian, and her temperament is quite suitable for the character.

Patricia Veraquiz, the actress who plays Pharaoh Mephisto, the character who has an affair with the High Priest, whose character's name seems to be Anshunam.

This woman is about the same height as Charlize Theron and is also a former supermodel.

Her figure and looks go without saying; otherwise, she wouldn't have been cast as the beautiful girl.

However, Cao Kun remembers that after gaining some fame with the two Mummy movies, she didn't have any other notable representative works.

At this moment, he noticed that the woman's gaze was constantly scrutinizing him, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

Finally, Cao Kun's gaze fell on Arnold Voslow.

This person is the actor who played the high priest in the movie.

He was tall and muscular, even stronger than Brandon Fish.

Upon seeing this person, Cao Kun couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The murderous monster the film crew is currently encountering could very well be the high priest, a terrifying figure brought to life.

The actor playing the high priest is here.

Cao Kun found it somewhat unbelievable that this guy was still alive.

Could it be that the real high priest deliberately kept the fake high priest alive, intending to kill him at the last minute?

However, this is just speculation; nothing can be truly confirmed until we see the ghosts with our own eyes.

"I won't go into the reason why I've gathered you all here; I think you probably already know."

Cao Kun said expressionlessly, "Those who don't want to die, stay here obediently and don't run around."

Someone asked, "Master, what should we do if we need to use the restroom?"

Cao Kun looked at the man and said, "Hold it in, or just take care of it here."

A burst of laughter came from the crowd, but it quickly disappeared after Cao Kun glanced at it.

Cao Kun: "If you don't value your own lives, you don't have to listen to me."

Now, you can start to rest.

The imagined disobedience did not occur.

After six people died, these people realized that their own lives mattered.

In horror movies, there are always people who ignore warnings and go on dangerous escapades.

In reality, such people are still a minority.

In fact, they dared not eat or drink anything so as not to need to use the restroom.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, some were resting on their mattresses, and others were chatting quietly in twos and threes, Cao Kun called over Paul Boone and director Steven Sommers.

Cao Kun asked director Stefan, "What scene were you filming the day before the first person died?"

Stefan thought for a moment and said, "The main content of the filming is that the female lead, Evelyn, accidentally recites the contents of the Book of the Dead and inadvertently awakens the spirit of the High Priest."

Cao Kun's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this is why the high priest brought terror into reality?

Or is it just a coincidence?

If the Book of the Dead can truly summon the High Priest, then this book possesses extraordinary power.

Cao Kun asked, "Where is the book 'The Book of the Dead'?"

Stefan's expression was strange: "Master Cao Kun, that was just a prop."

Cao Kun: "I know, let me see."

Stie spread his hands: "It's not here, it's in the prop truck."

Cao Kun: "Where is the prop truck?"

Stefan: "In the parking lot."

Cao Kun glanced at his watch; it was a little past 11 p.m., so there should be enough time.

Cao Kun: "Find someone to come with me to get it."

Left with no other option, Stefan called over a props staff member and went with Cao Kun to the parking lot.

Seeing that Cao Kun was about to leave, the others became worried and looked at him, but Cao Kun ignored them and pretended not to see them.

If the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Sun truly possess magical powers, he wouldn't care if all these people died.

However, having already accepted the money, Cao Kun still took out a talisman and pasted it on the restaurant door before leaving.

Whether they can ward off the ghost or not depends on their fate.

The props team members are very familiar with the location of the prop truck and the props inside.

Without wasting any time, in just a few minutes, more than a dozen thick scriptures were in Cao Kun's hands.

Cao Kun was a little confused: "So many?"

The props staff replied matter-of-factly, "Props are bound to get damaged during filming."

Doing it at the last minute will affect the filming schedule.

Therefore, we made many identical ones in advance, so if one breaks, we can just replace it.

Cao Kun looked bewildered. Could such a prop really summon the High Priest?

With doubts in his mind, Cao Kun returned to the restaurant.

Everything is normal here; nothing has happened.

Seeing Cao Kun return, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Kun, carrying more than a dozen prop books, came to Steven Sommers' side, attracting curious glances from Steven and Paul Boone.

Cao Kun ignored him, put the book down, and picked up another book to read.

Cao Kun's first impression was that the book was very heavy.

My second impression was that the book was very old.

However, it only looks old; in reality, it doesn't have an ancient feel at all.

My third impression was that the book was exquisite.

The center is predominantly black, surrounded by gold decorations, and features intricate engravings.

In the upper right corner, a striking gold badge gives the book a unique sense of sanctity.

Of course, this gold is definitely not real; it just looks like gold.

Upon opening the cover, Cao Kun saw the contents inside.

Then, Cao Kun was dumbfounded; he didn't recognize any of these things.
