Chapter 155: Living Moral Blackmail - I've Learned Something New.
In just a moment, Lu Xiang returned to normal.
Even when Lin Sui looked over, she blinked innocently and smiled as if it were the first time they met, with the aroma of tea filling the air: "Sui Sui, I know you love me the most, but be good, important things come first."
Lin Sui: “…”
"Old witch, are you crazy?" Si Xingran rubbed his arms, feeling goosebumps all over his body.
Lu Xiang rolled her eyes and said, "Get lost."
Seeing that she was no different from usual, seamlessly switching between a pure and sweet girl and a volatile and mature woman, Lin Sui temporarily suppressed his doubts.
But then Lu Xiang asked casually, "Which building is the haunted one?"
He paused, then added, "Or is the whole neighborhood haunted?"
"Logically speaking, only one building is haunted, but..." Manager Li lowered his voice, "In other buildings that are not haunted, residents have also had accidents one after another, and they have disappeared without a trace."
Upon hearing this, Lin Sui immediately thought of the Corpse Demon, a creature that had appeared in Lotus Village.
Only when the soul departs will the dead body remain.
The ghoul's soul cannot leave, so it can only hide along with its body.
Unlike before, when burial was possible and hiding the body had no impact.
No, that's not possible now, cremation is the new method.
Although ghouls can be cut with knives and struck with hammers, they cannot be burned—not even by fire in a crematorium.
However, once staff discover a problem, they will call in professionals to deal with it.
Those who encounter good people can be saved, but those who hate evil will be annihilated.
This is not alarmist talk from the Shiki community; it's a true story.
Therefore, the ghouls, who used to only foolishly rise from the dead, have evolved.
Lin Sui thought to herself, "Who were the people who got into trouble?"
Some vengeful spirits kill indiscriminately, but many more, due to resentment from their previous lives, will target a specific group of people.
Asking clearly will give us a basic direction for the investigation and save her the trouble of calculating.
Most importantly, none of the newcomers this time are related to the haunting incident at Jinxiu Garden, so she has to start from somewhere else.
“Women,” Manager Li replied. “Ever since the ghost story started, every person who has gotten into trouble has been a woman.”
Lu Xiang laughed upon hearing this: "Being a ghost and still picking and choosing gender? Do you really think women are all pushovers? Needless to say, this ghost is some maggot-like man who just likes to eat shit, right?"
Manager Li's brow twitched; he felt somewhat displeased, but he couldn't very well refute her.
She was cursing ghosts, not him. Especially since she only mentioned some, not all of them. If he were to argue about this, wouldn't that be admitting that he's also a maggot?
Male viewers watching the live stream were less rational.
[Fine, fine, so this is how you promote feminism? Why didn't your dad just shoot you dead against the wall back then?]
I feel so sorry for your father; he raised an ungrateful child.
I don't know if her dad is heartbroken, but seeing some men so vulnerable is quite amusing to me.
[You guys are so cute when you're eager to adopt your own nicknames [heart emoji]]
Manager Li took a deep breath and couldn't help but say, "I heard that those women have all cheated on their partners."
"Listen, say?" Tangxi uttered each word with a sharp, sarcastic tone.
Manager Li opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Lu Xiang impatiently interrupted him: "Just tell me, which building is haunted?"
"...Number four."
As Manager Li finished speaking, Lin Sui clearly saw Lu Xiang's eyes flicker slightly.
Lin Sui couldn't help but think that she hadn't been in the Lu family from the beginning.
Before this, she had lived with a woman, who was not sure if she was her mother, for a period of time.
So, could their former residence have been in Jinxiu Garden?
That's all the information Manager Li has.
After he finished speaking, Director Wu prepared to take everyone onto the bus to Jinxiu Garden.
He Huanni spoke up at this moment: "Director, may I switch to another crew?"
Director Wu: "Reason?"
"As you all may not know, Tangxi and I are cousins. This is my first time on a TV show, especially a supernatural one, so I'm a little nervous and wanted to be with Tangxi." He Huanni smiled shyly.
When she used the same reason as Yu Cinian, Director Wu's expression became subtle.
He initially agreed because the show had just started airing, and in order to attract more attention, he had to create buzz.
But now, Lin Sui and his group of six are the biggest topic of conversation, so big that he doesn't need to find celebrities in the industry to support him anymore. Would he be crazy to want to break them up again?
Director Wu firmly refused: "No, you are a challenger. If you are afraid, you can withdraw now."
He Huanni's expression changed, but she was still unwilling to give up: "What if one of them is willing to switch?"
"You can try."
Thinking she had a chance, He Huanni walked straight toward Lin Sui.
Lin Sui, a bystander: "???"
"Master Lin, please switch with me, okay?" He Huanni said pitifully. "Anyway, you're so good, you can win on any team. Please, please let me have a turn."
Lin Sui: "..." This is living moral blackmail. I've learned something new.
Before she could refuse, Tang Xi was faster and more direct, shoving He Huanni aside and saying, "Get out!"
When she was little, she was jealous of He Huanni because her parents and even her older brother only liked her, and she blamed her for stealing their love.
They fought and argued, but without exception, she was always the one who was punished by kneeling and confinement, and who was always scolded and beaten.
She accepted reality and stopped arguing, but He Huanni would deliberately show off in front of her, deliberately watch her get angry, and then complain about it in a wronged manner.
How dare someone like that use her name to kidnap Sui Sui? Does she think she'll just tolerate it like before?
Tang Xi was strong and didn't hold back. He Huanni was pushed backward, her waist slamming hard against the corner of the table. The pain made her vision go black and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Everyone was shocked.
Just talk, why did you hit me?
A rather handsome young man quickly went over to help her up, asking solicitously, "Miss He, are you alright?"
It took He Huanni a while to recover.
She ignored the man and looked at Tang Xi, her eyes reddening with grievance: "Sister, I know you're still blaming me, blaming me for getting into a good university while you didn't even get into a junior college, but I really care about you, I care about our sisterhood, please forgive me, okay?"
【Huh? Seriously? There are still people these days who can't even get into a junior college?】
So what if they didn't pass the exam? They still became morticians; aren't they more impressive than most people?
[Just as Lin Siyao left, He Huanni showed up. I'm going to throw up.]
Lin Sui was so angry she laughed.
Did He Huanni know that her inferior tea could only serve as cannon fodder?
She asked calmly, "Will I die if I don't?"
He Huanni was taken aback and subconsciously shook her head.
"Since you can't, why should I let you?" Lin Sui asked sincerely. "Is it because you can't beat others in dancing that you spread rumors, or because you used connections to bribe art exam teachers so that you could get into the Beijing Dance Academy with a bottom-of-the-barrel score?"
