Chapter 38: Ghost Chapter (1)
Chapter 38: Ghost Chapter (1)
Although people nowadays pay attention to science, the end of science is metaphysics.
In the West, there is Halloween, and on that day, people can dress up as all kinds of monsters.
Many people in China followed suit, but most of them also played vampires, werewolves, clowns, or even zombies from The Walking Dead.
Even though few people dress up as zombies on Halloween, they still wear red clothes and red embroidered shoes and walk around on Halloween.
Many people on the Internet joke that ghosts from abroad can be killed by physical methods, but as for ghosts in China, if you put a pair of embroidered shoes at your door, robbers will not dare to enter.
But some people are courting death by dressing up as a bride in red during China's Cold Clothes Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival in July.
This person is the original owner Liu Xiaoxiao’s biological sister Liu Wanyi.
In her previous life, Liu Xiaoxiao knew that Liu Wanyi, in pursuit of excitement and popularity for her live broadcast, actually chose to dress up as a ghost on the Ghost Festival, and she chose a creepy outfit at that.
The Ghost Festival is also the Cold Clothes Festival. Starting from 5 pm, people will gradually walk to the intersection with paper money to burn paper for their deceased relatives and to commemorate them.
At this time, even the most principled person would walk away. Imagine that in this situation, if someone saw a strange bride suddenly appear, even if they didn't really get involved in any dirty things, they would be scared to death.
After the original owner knew about it, she tried her best to stop it and earnestly listed the possible consequences one by one. This also made Liu Xiaoxiao's parents, who originally supported her to do this, hesitate and stop Liu Wanyi.
This made Liu Wanyi give up the idea of going out.
But I never expected that the next day, a live broadcast program would become a hit.
There were two people who performed a live broadcast during the Ghost Festival, pretending to be the Black and White Impermanence and scaring passers-by, which was later made into a video.
Not only did the two become popular, they attracted millions of fans in less than a week, and soon started live streaming to sell goods, earning 30 million in less than a month.
Liu Wanyi was furious and felt that the original owner had cut off his source of income. In a fit of rage, he took a fruit knife and stabbed the original owner more than ten times, killing him.
While stabbing, he said madly, "My sister is so great, and she wants to control my life? She ruined my future and made me lose 30 million. 30 million, you can't make that much money even if you work until you die. It's you who made me miss the opportunity to make a fortune. Go to hell, go to hell."
When the original owner's parents returned home, they saw the original owner dead in a pool of blood, and Liu Wanyi crying and blaming the original owner for ruining her bright future.
This aroused the resentment of the two people towards the original owner. If it weren't for the original owner, how could they have ruined their little daughter's path to wealth.
"Don't be afraid, Wanyi. Your sister is dead. If it weren't for her, our family would have become prosperous. You still don't repent. If you do it again, she will stop you. I want to kill her."
"Since she's dead, let's treat it as an accident. The child's mother will clean up and cremate her while no one is watching. I'll scatter her ashes. Let her harm us."
How could they know that those who dared to dress up as the Black and White Impermanence during the Ghost Festival had a team behind them, and that the people who were scared and even the people who burned paper money behind them were all hired extras who were just creating the atmosphere.
Otherwise, how could he become famous so quickly and make money by selling goods through live streaming so quickly?
If Liu Wanyi goes there, even if she doesn't get into trouble with any bad guys, she will either scare others to death or be beaten to death by others.
They are all psychopaths with problems in their brain circuits.
Su Nuan looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker.
The door opened, and Liu Wanyi came out wearing a blood-red ancient bridal outfit. In one hand, she held a mobile phone with a live broadcast pole, and in the other, she held a red veil. On her feet, she wore socks from embroidered shoes, which were dyed unevenly with red paint, just like blood.
Her face was covered in pale makeup, and red liquid could even be vaguely seen in the corners of her eyes. No one knew how she did it.
Not only that, any exposed skin looked like it was painted white, and she also had long purple-black nails.
This outfit looks creepy even under incandescent light, let alone under the pale moonlight or in dimly lit places.
"Oh my god, it's so scary." Su Nuan's parents, who were cleaning up the dishes, were so frightened when they saw Liu Wanyi's appearance that they almost dropped the dishes.
Liu Wanyi's pretty face could still be vaguely seen, and Liu's father and mother felt much more relieved.
But Liu's mother was very worried. "Wanyi, are you sure you want to go out like this? Today is the Cold Clothes Festival, and there are many people burning paper money outside. Some things are better to believe than not. What if you really encounter something dirty?"
Liu Wanyi was amused by her mother's words. "Mom, what era is this now? We all focus on science. Where are ghosts in the world?"
"Besides." He deliberately exposed Kuroko's nails and made a strange shape, "People nowadays like to hunt for novelties. There are no people in the live broadcast field yet. Look at every industry now. The first ones to take off are the first ones to try it out."
"Don't worry, I have a feeling that today's live broadcast will definitely make me famous."
"Besides, I already have a thousand followers. I even made the announcement during the live broadcast yesterday. If I don't do it, I will be sorry for the fans who have always supported me."
"Besides, as soon as I said that, the number of fans increased by 500 before the show even started. 500!"
Liu Wanyi said this with confidence, "Some people even made bets on how many people I could scare today. They're all waiting to see the jokes on those superstitious people."
Liu Wanyi became more and more excited as she spoke.
However, Liu's mother became even more worried. Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, she glanced at Liu's father. Liu's father always favored Liu Wanyi and didn't want her to hate him, so he looked at Su Nuan and said, "Liu Xiaoxiao, your sister is like this, don't you have anything to say?"
Hadn't she been trying to dissuade Liu Wanyi from this idea all afternoon when she came back? She even snatched Liu Wanyi's makeup paints and wouldn't let her put on makeup, forcing Liu Wanyi to go out and buy another set.
Just as Su Nuan was about to speak, Liu Wanyi's expression immediately darkened. She spoke in a stern tone, almost yelling, "Liu Xiaoxiao, don't try to stop me. I've already made up my mind, and don't try to scare me with sensational words."
At the same time, she was afraid that Su Nuan would stop her, so she said coquettishly, "Dad, you have to believe me. If my live broadcast becomes popular, I can make a lot of money. Then I can buy you a big house and find you a nanny to take care of you. Then you and mom can enjoy a good life."
Then she pouted and said, "I'm not like my sister. I only get a fixed salary and will never get rich in my life."
Liu's mother and father were instantly persuaded and became kind, but they still looked at Su Nuan.
Su Nuan has read a lot of books, and what she said before to persuade Liu Wanyi was not unreasonable. Not to mention getting into trouble with dirty people, what if she scares others into something bad?
They were still more worried about Liu Wanyi's safety.
Su Nuan knew what they were thinking. After the original owner was stabbed to death, they not only protected Liu Wanyi, but later happily took out the original owner's savings, company compensation and various subsidies, and gave them all to Liu Wanyi.
He also said that this little compensation was nothing compared to 30 million, and he would still be insulted by them after his death.
