Meanwhile, at the film set, the livestream primarily focused on shooting the special appearance scenes that couldn't be filmed the previous day.
Since Lucy had regained her "composure", the shooting was especially easy today. Although she had some unlucky accidents during the shoot, they didn't affect the smooth sailing livestream.
Since everything went on without a hitch, Shannon took out the emerald pendant she used to trap the system's energy from yesterday while awaiting her turn on the set. Before she could observe anything, she felt a chilling presence stealthily appearing around her.
Immediately, her face turned blank, causing the livestream audience who were drooling over her beauty to suspect whether she was displeased with their comments.
Then, they heard Shannon talking to the air, "Why are you back?"
Back? Interesting.
"It must be someone she knows for her to use the word 'back'. If it's someone among the set that we can't see, it's either the powerful spirit or Kiley."
"Shit. Is Kiley and her system back?"
"I thought they settled the system. I'm guessing it's the powerful spirit."
"Wait, what? The powerful spirit is back? Why can't we see her today?" They saw a black shadow yesterday.
"That makes it more exciting. Don't you think so?"
The livestream audience might not see it, but Shannon could. Leah, who was supposed to leave after the ordeal, now crouched beside her, propping her chin on her hand and looking at Shannon.
As if anticipating her rejection, Leah quickly sold herself. "I'm very useful. Look at me—I'm a century-old powerful spirit! If you ever encounter any spirit, I'll finish them without you lifting a finger!"
Faced with Leah's hard-selling, Shannon remained unmoved and repeated, "I don't need one."
"You do." Leah wasn't giving up. She floated around Shannon, intending to change her mind.
Leah's intention was simple. She found Benjamin's presence comforting and wanted to stay with him. Since Shannon forbade her from doing so, she could only compromise and stay with Shannon.
Since the two were partners, they ought to be together always. As such, staying with Shannon was equivalent to staying with Benjamin! She had concocted this plan after a night's thinking.
"If you feel uncomfortable with me dressing like a man, I can switch it up!" Leah lifted her hand and soon changed into a woman's outfit different from yesterday's.
