The others also started discussing.
Although everyone present had a Vision, it didn't mean they had necessarily encountered so-called ghosts, especially on the Blue Star.
They had been on Blue Star for so long and had some understanding of the paranormal stories there.
It was said that the ghosts on Blue Star were extremely strange and terrifying, completely different from the ghosts they knew!
"C-can you take me with you?"
A rather timid voice came over, and turning around, it was Sucrose.
Amber asked curiously, "Oh, Sucrose, why are you here, and why are you so interested in monsters?"
Sucrose blushed and said, "Because I think such beings, whether material or energy, can be studied."
"Of course, I can't catch these ghosts by myself; I might need everyone's help."
Everyone was momentarily speechless; Sucrose was going for the sake of studying ghosts.
Alhaitham expressed his opinion: "According to Blue Star's scientific descriptions of ghosts, they are a special kind of magnetic field or an unknown energy body, and some people believe it's a manifestation of people existing in higher dimensions after death."
Kaveh found a loophole and asked, "Nonsense, if people go to a higher dimension after death, then why can we see them?"
Nahida smiled and said, "Of course, it's because dimensions can overlap, and ghosts don't strictly belong to higher-dimensional existences. Besides, Blue Star doesn't have a standard conclusion on this research, so maybe we'll discover the truth about ghosts!"
Hearing Nahida say this, Sucrose's eyes showed a hint of excitement.
"In other words, if I can truly understand ghosts, then I will make a huge contribution to the progress of Blue Star!"
Xavier thought for a moment and then said, "Theoretically, that's correct, provided we can truly find the so-called ghosts and aren't being deceived."
"Hey, Itto, this time we're really going to look for ghosts!"
Yoimiya suddenly said to Itto, "If one of us finds a ghost this time and catches him, then that person will be the Children's King of Hanamizaka from now on, how about it?"
Itto shivered, not expecting Yoimiya to be so bold.
But with so many people watching him, how could This Daddy lose face?
He could only force himself to say, "What's that? Do you think This Daddy would be scared?"
"Alright, let's go, let's go! We're heading to Zhuang Gui Village now!"
Hu Tao was the most excited, putting on her sunglasses and getting ready to leave.
Xavier said speechlessly, "How can demons and ghosts appear during the day? With such a big sun now, do you think there can be ghosts?"
Hu Tao thought for a moment and said, "That makes too much sense! Then I'll go back and rest first, and come back tonight!"
Hu Tao didn't waste any time; a flash of white light appeared, and she vanished from the room.
Xavier turned to everyone and said, "If you all want to investigate, remember to come back and gather tonight."
To save time, everyone returned to Teyvat.
Only a few people who didn't plan to go remained in the living room.
Xavier turned to Zhongli: "Hmm? Zhongli, aren't you going to take a look?"
In Xavier's opinion, although Zhongli wasn't particularly fond of joining in the fun, he should at least be somewhat interested in this kind of thing.
Zhongli shook his head and said, "As a ghost monster, I don't know how many I've seen."
Xavier almost forgot about such an important matter; this old man has lived for over 6000 years, what hasn't he seen?
It would be fine to show him something new, but he probably wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing.
No wonder Venti and Ei also didn't have much reaction; they were all accustomed to such things.
"Oh my, it reminds me of the days of the Hyakki Yakō, that truly made me happy~"
As for Yae Miko, she would only be more excited about ghosts and monsters.
By evening, everyone who planned to go together had returned.
What Xavier hadn't expected was that Chongyun had prepared so thoroughly for this ghost-catching plan.
"Wow, Chongyun, you actually brought so many talismans! Are you planning to completely eradicate this ghost?"
Kaveh was surprised to see Chongyun carrying so many talismans.
"Is this Liyue's unique ghost-catching tool? It looks very powerful." Yoimiya also walked around it but couldn't make sense of it.
Chongyun nodded and said, "Yes, only this way can we be foolproof. I went back and made them with my aunt for a long time."
Xavier roughly glanced at the talismans made by Chongyun and Shenhe; there were at least 100, if not 200.
He wondered what kind of demon or ghost could withstand such a barrage; wouldn't they just be directly annihilated?
"Ah? If he's killed directly, then my research will fail." Sucrose said with some concern.
Chongyun scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't easily kill him unless it's absolutely necessary. Actually, I'm more worried that I won't encounter any ghosts, because they often run away when they see me."
After getting ready, Xavier led everyone onto the bus and headed to Zhuang Gui Village.
Zhuang Gui Village belonged to an ordinary small town in the neighboring province, and transportation was not convenient before.
According to online information, the asphalt road was only completed this year.
So the journey was quite smooth, except for the narrow roads.
As dusk gradually fell, the scenery on both sides of the road became unclear.
"Hey, do you think we're almost there? I feel a bit cold..." Itto said, shrinking his neck.
Kuki Shinobu sighed beside him, "Boss, don't forget, we're in the car and there's air conditioning."
It was already officially winter, so of course, the heater was needed in the car.
"Cough, maybe I felt wrong!" Itto gave an awkward laugh.
Kaveh mocked beside him, "Haha, Itto, you're not scared, are you? So you're having a psychological reaction!"
Itto's face flushed red as he said, "This Daddy am not afraid of anything, how could I be afraid of a tiny ghost!"
Chongyun suddenly said with a serious face, "But according to my deduction, there's a good chance there's more than one."
"What? More than one? Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Itto jumped up in fright, feeling as if he had been deceived.
Chongyun spread his hands innocently and said, "You never asked me."
"Catch ghosts, catch ghosts! Klee wants to catch ghosts!"
Klee was overjoyed to hear there was more than one ghost, though she didn't know what a ghost was.
But as long as she blew them up with bombs, she should be able to defeat them, right?
As time passed, at 8:30 PM, everyone finally arrived at Zhuang Gui Village.
And just as Chongyun had learned, most of the villagers had already left, with only two households, Lin and Xin, having their lights on!
