Chapter 837 The Entertainment Industry, The Original Female Lead Killed by the Transmigrator (3)
Xiao Yun's divine sense went straight to her head, intending to pull out the soul of the transmigrator Feng Yuyao first, but he encountered resistance the moment he entered her head.
It was a barrier. Xiao Yun immediately enveloped Feng Yuyao's head with his divine sense, and at the same time threw out a protective shield to cover the entire villa. Watching the shield being hit by an invisible energy and then returning to normal, he couldn't help but curl a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
So that's how it is. That explains why even if a female supporting character in a small world was possessed, how could it cause time reversal and destroy the spacetime barrier? It turns out it was the system.
Seeing Feng Yuyao suddenly open her eyes and sit up in bed, then cover her head with her hands and wail in pain, Xiao Yun couldn't help but frown, because she also heard the system's unpleasant mechanical voice exploding in the other person's head.
"Beep—Beep—Alert! Alert! SSS-level or higher danger detected! The system will unbind from the host within three seconds! Beep—Beep—Beep—Unbinding successful!"
"Ah—" With a shrill scream from Feng Yuyao, a ball of transparent energy burst forth from her forehead and shot straight into the sky!
The moment it emerged, Xiao Yun enveloped it with his divine sense and threw it directly into the space, asking him to study it and see if there were any differences from the previous ones.
Turning his gaze back to Feng Yuyao, who had been rendered unconscious by the system, he directly probed into her consciousness again, pulled out the transmigrator's soul, and stuffed it into the Soul Refining Banner amidst her terrified expression.
Then they searched the body again but found no trace of the original soul. It seemed that it had either been pushed out or devoured, with the latter being more likely, otherwise the transmigrator wouldn't have been so deeply influenced by the original owner's personality.
Without a soul, the body becomes a living dead, or what is called a vegetative state. However, in order to avoid future troubles, Xiao Yun still cut off her life force. What if another one comes along? After all, this is a novel world, and the identity of this body is still quite useful.
Once he was certain the person was beyond dead, Xiao Yun put away the protective shield and left.
Originally, I wanted to annihilate the transmigrator, but after seeing the system, I thought she might have been transmigrated passively, so I left her a chance to live and told her to stay in the Soul Refining Banner. As long as her soul is immortal, she is alive.
Moreover, there are all sorts of ghosts inside, so she's not lonely at all. I believe she should be quite happy.
Feng Yuyao: "What the hell am I happy about! I'd rather just give up!"
Xiao Yun: Look at him, he's so happy he's practically incoherent!
Jia Duo Bao shook his illusory image, "Boss is getting more and more efficient at fulfilling the original body's wish~ He took revenge as soon as he arrived, so satisfying!"
Xiao Yun snorted coldly: "Because I'm unhappy, others have to be even more unhappy than me."
Who would be in a good mood if they had to clean up a mess as soon as they arrived? She wasn't incapable of handling it, so of course she would vent her anger on the culprit.
Fearing that Jia Duo Bao would take his anger out on him, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "There are a lot of good things in that villa, and a safe full of jewelry. Why didn't you take any? That's not like you."
Xiao Yun piloted the aircraft to land in the parking lot, replying as he spoke, "How do you know I didn't take it? Everything in that villa, except for what's on display, is in my space. That's compensation for the trouble I caused. I still have to go through the trouble to clear my name."
She's unlikely to change her habit of knowing when to stop. Since things are already escalating, she's even less likely to leave these things behind; that would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.
Yes, she was also planning to target the Feng family. Although she was using fantastical methods that the other side would definitely not be able to find out, it was still unsettling to leave behind a huge enemy.
Even if the matter doesn't trace back to her, Feng Yuyao will definitely be able to find out about the original owner's Feng family, and what if they take their anger out on her?
Some people don't care whether there's evidence or whether you did it. They have money and power, and if they suspect you or just don't like you, they can destroy you. Of course, they'll strike first.
Moreover, that family was no good either. Mr. and Mrs. Feng were even more cunning than Feng Yuyao, and they had killed people under their control.
When Feng's father was studying abroad, he once raped a young girl who was also studying abroad because his advances were rejected. He even killed and dismembered her. This was because the girl's family had connections; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to study abroad in those days. He was afraid of being investigated, so he went all out.
He behaved himself for a while, and when the heat died down and no one found out what he had done, he became bolder and started targeting other international students and locals. Of course, he only targeted those without connections, and he only forced them without killing anyone. He eventually settled the matter with money.
Feng's mother was even more ruthless. She was blatant about it. After the couple had a son and a daughter, they each went their own way. She didn't engage in forced love, but rather in group sex. She and three like-minded sisters found a male prostitute. Once, when the male prostitute was too weak, she drugged him, which resulted in his death from exhaustion.
Although the matter didn't escalate and was settled with money, most people in the circle knew about it and talked about it as a joke within their own circles.
Several companies under the Feng family are also shady. There is even a labor service company registered under someone else's name that sends people to a certain industrial park. They either sell them there or send "talented people" who are proficient in communication and psychology through legitimate channels.
She will collect all the evidence of illegal transactions and crimes and hand it all over to the state. If the state can't handle it, she will use her own methods to bankrupt the other party.
In modern society, collecting evidence is too easy. There's no need to go there in person anymore; you can just use the internet. She can even handle interstellar networks, so this is even easier for her.
As for Feng Yuyao's farm, there's no rush. She can buy it after she bankrupts the Feng family.
In order to clear her name, Feng Yuyao stopped abusing the animals on the farm after transmigrating and even established a kind persona of loving animals, occasionally taking photos there.
There are usually dedicated caretakers there, so the Feng family must have been living quite well before they went bankrupt.
Jia Duo Bao: "Boss, have you decided what to do next?"
Xiao Yun: "Next, of course, is to start my own company. It's just about becoming a movie queen, right? Instead of signing with someone else's company, I might as well promote myself. But right now, I should be doing something else."
Jia Duo Bao looked puzzled by her last question, "What?"
Xiao Yun pulled out the soul of the transmigrator Feng Yuyao again, searched it with his divine sense, and then stuffed the soul, which had faded a bit, back into the Soul Refining Banner.
"This guy has already bribed the truck driver; the money has been transferred via a foreign virtual account."
As for how Feng Yuyao was so sure that the original owner would drive back to her hometown next, it's not surprising that she could make that prediction with just a little investigation.
Of course, it could also be a system notification.
I searched on my phone and booked a room at a budget hotel online. It was surprisingly cheap; with a coupon, it was only 169 yuan. I drove out of the parking lot and followed the navigation to the hotel.
The original owner didn't go back that day. She packed her things, went to the company to formally terminate her contract, said goodbye to her friends, spent the night in her car, and drove away the next day.
Xiao Yun plans to terminate the contract tomorrow. She just came out of the police station and needs to find a place to wash away the bad luck first.
As for those friends, forget about them. It wasn't all one-sided on the part of the original owner, but there were only one or two. The rest were just for show. That's how relationships are in the entertainment industry. If they don't kick you when you're down, that's considered being loyal enough.
After parking my car in the hotel's internal parking lot, I registered at the counter with my phone and ID card, and then took the elevator to the third floor with my room key.
She opened the door, inserted the card, and looked around the room. It was alright, quite clean, but she still used a cleaning talisman before turning on the water and taking a proper bath.
Then she took out the ready-made food from her spatial storage and ate it. When she came in, she was carrying a bag and a thermal lunchbox as a pretense, so she didn't have to worry about being noticed.
After drinking another glass of freshly squeezed juice, I lay down on the bed and started browsing the internet on my phone, searching for the original owner's name.
The original owner of this body did not use her real name when she entered the entertainment industry; she used the stage name Xiao Qingqing. It was Xiao's mother who specially consulted a fortune teller, who said that this name, combined with the original owner's birth chart, would bring her great fame and fortune.
If it weren't for the transmigrator's interference, the original owner really was someone else. It seems that the person who helped people with naming really has some skills. I might have to go and meet him sometime.
Although the original owner's name wasn't on the trending search list, a search still yielded quite a few results.
Feng Yuyao is quite cautious, probably afraid of leaving evidence or leverage, so she didn't hire online trolls or get involved herself. She only had some small marketing accounts publish those negative stories, which are available on various websites.
All the opportunities in the early stages were snatched away. The original owner was just a nobody who only played two supporting roles until her death. It would be abnormal if suddenly a flood of negative news came out and she was put on the front page.
It's actually more authentic to post everywhere without hiring online trolls, letting people criticize naturally.
However, this also means that the previous scandals did not have a significant impact. Otherwise, Feng Yuyao would not have resorted to this last tactic, which is the most fatal for an artist.
Xiao Yun ordered a laptop online using her mobile phone. It will arrive tomorrow morning, at which point she will deal with the online public opinion and investigate the Feng family.
Because the original owner wasn't proficient with computers, she never bought one. When she was in school, she used the school's computer or her mobile phone to search for things online.
Of course, there's also the idea of easing the financial burden on the family, since a computer can easily cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, which is completely unnecessary.
Xiao Yun spent the entire afternoon scrolling through her phone. In the evening, she ordered takeout from a nearby restaurant, planning to eat, wash up, and go to bed.
I must say, it's not so bad to eat junk food once in a while. I ordered a burger and fried chicken combo from a domestic chain. It tasted good and was very cheap. The eight-piece combo was more than half the price of KFC and McDonald's.
I took another shower, and while doing my skincare routine, I wasn't entirely satisfied with how I looked in the mirror.
Because of a bad period, my emotions and some external factors have made my skin dull and I have a few pimples on my forehead.
Moreover, the original body had some physical defects; the chest was not big enough, and the bone structure was flat, making it look thin like a paper doll from the side, but just normal from the front.
She took a beauty and body shaping pill directly, allowing her body to gradually transform. She would look drastically different in about three months, and then she would have to appear in public frequently, otherwise people would think she had undergone plastic surgery.
Even if her future career doesn't depend entirely on her looks, she still likes to look beautiful.
