Chapter 23



◎I scold myself◎

Lu Ge was completely stunned. He stared at her in disbelief with his eyes wide open. "Uh, sister, is what you said true or false?"

Lin Chaojin held the red string in her hand, nodded, and said quietly, "I never said from the beginning that we were on the same team."

Lu Ge was struck by her words. He opened his mouth and asked, "No, we've never been apart from the beginning. When did you leave me and accept the mission?" He nodded affirmatively as he spoke. "So, sister, stop joking."

[Ge Ye, Ge Shuangshuang, you never doubted your sister from the beginning! Think about the receptionist who shook hands with you at the beginning!]

[What the sister said earlier reminded me. Since the receptionist was able to manipulate Lu Ge's hand, he could have easily passed the task to the young lady.]

Lin Chaojin looked at the person who hadn't turned the corner yet and kindly reminded him, "The staff member we met before we came in."

After she reminded him, Lu Ge immediately thought of the receptionist. Wouldn't it be convenient to pass a note while shaking hands?

Thinking back to the two different sentences the receptionist had said to them, Lu Ge was completely confused. "Damn, sister, you're amazing. You've been playing dumb from the start. Back then, I asked you what the receptionist said, and you just told me 'welcome'. That and the other sentence, 'Welcome, living beings,' have completely different meanings."

The more Lu Ge spoke, the more he understood the connection. "From the beginning, I was the only human being, and you were all ghosts."

Lin Chaojin Gui nodded. "Congratulations, brother, you figured it out so quickly."

Lu Ge, who had reached the end of the story, was on the verge of vomiting blood after hearing these sarcastic words. "Sister, you make me look completely stupid. I tell you, I'm not stupid, I just trust you too much." Lu Ge would never admit that his IQ was low.

Lin Chaojin glanced at him sideways.

[Hahaha, I can definitely tell from the look in your eyes that you have some misunderstanding about yourself, brother. Stop trying to make excuses. Your IQ is the lowest in the family.]

[Lu Ge: I would rather suffer a betrayal of trust than admit I was stupid.]

"Hmph, what did the receptionist write on the note he handed you?" Lu Ge held out his hand and handed it to her. "Let me see it. Even if I die, I want to die with a clear conscience."

Lin Chaojin looked at him silently and handed him the note indifferently.

Lu Ge took it and saw that it said, "No one survived."

"No, this means no one survives, literally," Lu Ge pointed at himself, "I am a person who has no survivors."

As he thought of something, he turned to look at Yan Sinuo and his brother, squinting his eyes, "From the moment we met, you wanted to get something from us, so what is your mission? You're not going to kill me, are you?"

Yan Sinuo answered him kindly, "Congratulations, you got the answer right. Our mission is to destroy both the evil spirit that Miss Liu has transformed into and you, the creature related to her."

"Ha, ha, ha," Lu Ge crossed his arms and said, "Then how are you going to kill me?"

Yan Sinuo pointed at the red string in Lin Chaojin's hand and said, "Here, your sister has the red string that Lu Sheng gave to Miss Liu. Just burn it along with your hair." Yan Sinuo's eyes rolled around as he secretly provoked her, "Your life is in your sister's hands now."

"Hmph, then there's no need for you, a ghost that keeps dying," Lu Ge rolled his eyes at him, then turned and angrily glared at the camera, "Director, do you and I have a grudge or something? If you agree, just capture me and sacrifice me to the gods."

The air was rising up slowly.

"Pa pa," Director Zhang quickly wrote a few words and handed them to the staff member in charge of broadcasting the program, asking him to read them out through the radio.

The staff member took the note, looked down at it, and felt unhappy. He thought that if he read it out loud, Lu Ge might get even angrier. However, he still read it out loud into the microphone with a blank expression and a calm voice.

"Any role is a script requirement and is determined based on objective facts. The program team will never have any ulterior motives. Ultimately, we hope to build a good reputation with the guests."

This voice broadcast was transmitted clearly and loudly to everyone's ears through the 3D surround sound equipment installed in the living room, which was purchased at great expense by the program team. Because the room was empty, there was also an echo.

After the voice broadcast was finished, everyone heard the content and looked at Lu Ge.

Lu Ge laughed angrily after hearing this, and nodded while laughing, "Okay, the script requirements, objective facts, you really have a production team."

[Hhh, the program crew's speaking skills are comparable to that of a young lady. Lu Ge was so angry that he was speechless.]

[Ge Songsong: You guys are just here to kill me. It's no wonder that Ge Ye contributed the most material to this haunted house recording.]

[Haha, I laughed when I mentioned the source material earlier. I can imagine how exciting it will be after adding post-production.]

Lu Ge turned around and saw Lin Chaojin standing beside him. He raised his chin and said sarcastically, "Sis, now you have a weapon too. Why are you still waiting to take action?"

Lin Chaojin twirled the red string in her hand. Compared to his anger, her face was calm. She glanced at him and said calmly, "There's no need for me to do anything."

"I'm not like you. For the sake of my good sister, I will definitely stay here and not move..." Lu Ge was about to say a few more words when he was suddenly interrupted by her words, and he forgot everything he wanted to say.

Lu Ge looked at her in disbelief. "No, what do you mean? You're too lazy to take action, right?" He raised the tone of the last sentence several degrees.

Lin Chaojin looked at him innocently and continued to stab him in the heart, "Actually, there's really no need for me to do it."

[Hahaha, Missy is so infuriating! This is really making Ge Songsong so angry that he wants to vomit three liters of blood.]

[Lu Ge: You lied to me. I was here, willing to let you kill me, and yet you said you didn't even bother?! Is there any sister like you?]

[Poor brother! I almost feel pity for Ge Songsong.]

Lu Ge looked at her with heavy breathing, determined to make her feel his anger.

"Oh, oh," Miss Liu stood aside and cried loudly in an attempt to attract everyone's attention. Her story was not finished yet, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she cried even louder with more sincere feelings, "Oh, oh, cough, cough," but she cried too hard and choked herself.

Looking up with tearful eyes, she met the gazes of everyone. Miss Liu was so embarrassed that she wanted to cover her face and run away, but as a dedicated NPC, she still maintained the dignity of being a "ghost".

"Be careful when you cry, don't become a ghost that gets choked to death," Lu Ge would now speak sarcastically to anyone he caught.

"Haha," Liu Wan said with a dull face, secretly complaining. Seeing how pitiful you were, she didn't bother to argue with you. Then she straightened her face again and looked at Lu Ge, trying to put a hint of resentment in her eyes. "Lu Sheng, did you really not receive my letter? I called Qin Man before, and finally asked Silly Ya to deliver it several times."

As if returning to those dark and desperate days, Liu Wan sat in the house, listening to her father, mother and brother talking about sending her to marry the eldest son of the Li family.

The eldest son of the Li family?! Liu Wan was horrified. Wasn't that a dead man? They were actually going to send their own daughter, their sister, to marry in the afterlife. No, no, she couldn't accept her fate like this.

In a trance, she accidentally knocked over a teacup with a "bang". The talking outside the house stopped, and then the door was pushed open with a "bang". Three of her closest relatives walked in and looked at her without a trace of panic or guilt on their faces. The last thing she realized was their mouths opening and closing.

"Daughter, Dad has no other choice. Don't blame me. This world really doesn't allow poor people to survive."

"Daughter, mother doesn't want this to happen either. I carried you in my womb for ten months and gave birth to you. You are my flesh and blood. Mother, mother doesn't want this to happen either."

"Sister, please have pity on your brother. Otherwise, he won't be able to find a wife and how can he continue the family line?"

In the end, she was locked up at home every day, fed medicine, and her hands and feet were weak. She could only wait in despair for the time to pass by.

Finally one day her good friend Qin Man came to see her. She did not expect a weak woman like her to rescue her, so she begged her to help her deliver a letter to Lu Sheng.

But all she got was her brother's ridicule and a torn letter. "Sister, you never imagined that this idea was given to me by your best friend. You were still counting on her to deliver the letter to you? Forget it."

In the end, even though the villagers knew she was imprisoned and what would happen to her, no one came to save her. In the end, only the stupid girl in the village who was not very smart came to her from time to time to beg for food.

With the last glimmer of hope, she asked Sha Ya to help her send letters, one after another. She didn't know if Sha Ya would throw the letters away as garbage, but even if only one was sent, her Lu Sheng would come back to save her.

However, she did not wait for her Lu Sheng. That day, all the villagers came to the banquet. They happily watched her being pressed down and worshipping with the dead, watched her mouth being sewn up so that she could not ask for help, watched her limbs being nailed up so that she could not move, and watched her being buried alive in the coffin.

In the end, her cries of “Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng…” were buried in the coffin.

"So, Lu Sheng, did you receive the letters I sent you?" Liu Wan asked sadly, recalling the glimmer of hope before her death.

"I..." After listening to her story, Lu Ge seemed to empathize with her, but how could he know whether he had received it or not? He was so angry that he followed his sister to collect information the whole time.

"He received it," Lin Chaojin took out half a newspaper at this time.

"Where did you get that newspaper?" Lu Ge asked.

"I saw it in the corner when I just locked you and that ghost in the room," Lin Chaojin answered casually.

Lu Ge's face twitched. It seemed like he had encountered a ghost and hadn't collected any information.

"What's written in the newspaper?" Liu Wan asked with two "blood tears" in her eyes.

Lin Chaojin handed the newspaper to Liu Wan, then glanced at Lu Ge quietly, and Lu Ge suddenly felt uneasy.

"Wait a minute," Lu Ge suddenly felt that there was something bad in the newspaper and felt uneasy. Seeing Liu Wan took the newspaper, he quickly spoke out to stop her, but it was obviously too late.

"Okay, Lu Sheng, you are an ungrateful man!" Liu Wan screamed miserably, her eyes becoming fierce and desperate.

"Wait a minute," Lu Ge said without raising his hands in surrender, "let me, a Lu student, see what's written in the newspaper," and then he walked forward, took the newspaper and started reading.

It read: "Congratulations to Commander Shen's daughter on welcoming her new son-in-law—Lu Sheng." Lu Sheng, a native of Huai Village, Province X, was known by his pen name... The newspaper also included a photo of the newlyweds. Even more remarkable was the date, x month x day, 1925—the same day Liu Wan was forced into a ghost marriage, and on that same day her supposedly congenial lover happily married his beautiful wife.

"I/grass (a kind of plant), no, what kind of scum is this," Lu Ge said indignantly, holding the newspaper. "What an ungrateful bastard, such a heartless and unfaithful man, this kind of person should go to the eighteenth level of hell and be cut into pieces..."

Everyone was speechless when they saw Lu Ge's unusual reaction.

Even Liu Wan was stunned for a moment by him. Looking at his foul language, she lost her rhythm for a moment. No, brother, it seems like you stole my lines.

"Come on, take action now. This kind of beast should not be allowed to roam freely in the world," Lu Ge closed his eyes, straightened his body, and looked like he would not resist.

Liu Wan didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only display her professionalism as an NPC. She closed her eyes and shamefully uttered the words, "Lu Sheng, give me your life."

"Hey, sister, you are so foresighted. I should be executed." Lu Ge walked out of the haunted house and walked beside Lin Chaojin, muttering all the way, "I am such a beast, how could I be so worse than an animal..."

Lin Chaojin stumbled and glanced at him, "Have you gone astray?"

"Me? No," Lu Ge continued, "You said Lu Sheng, people like me are really..."

Lin Chaojin closed her mouth, put on sunglasses, and ignored him.

[Hhh, I killed myself. Lu Ge was too emotional. He must have thought of himself as Lu Sheng.]

[Ge Songsong: Who is Lu Ge and Lu Sheng? When I get angry, I even curse myself.]

[Haha, the eldest lady can no longer bear to look at him. She is tired. Let the silly brother do whatever he wants.]

When they reached the gathering place, Director Zhang was sitting under a parasol enjoying the cool air. Chi Huai and Xiao Chuchu's two groups had also completed their mission and arrived earlier than them.

"Is your haunted house fun?" Xiao Chuchu asked.

Yan Ruoyan Sinuo curled his lips and smiled in response.

Lin Chaojin, the only one who completed the task, nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Oh, hey, what's wrong with him?" Xiao Chuchu asked puzzledly, pointing at Lu Ge who was still yelling indignantly.

Lin Chaojin twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's just an indirect brain dysfunction. It will be fine after a while."

"Ah?" Xiao Chuchu's face was full of question marks. What did indirect brain dysfunction mean?

"Maybe he's having a brain seizure, haha." Xiao Long joked as he sat aside.

"Who are you talking about?" Lu Ge, who had very sharp ears, rolled his eyes at them. "I'm perfectly normal." He turned to look at the director, who was feeling the breeze, his eyes becoming sinister. "Director Zhang, you're worthy of being called the 'artistic director' that netizens have dubbed you. The script is well written, especially my role."

Director Zhang waved his hands, accepting the praise without a trace of guilt. "No, no, it's just average."

"Haha." Lu Ge rolled his eyes at him.

Director Zhang clapped his hands, and then some waiters came over with stacks of plates in their hands and placed them on the table.

Everyone looked at the plates of chicken, duck, fish, seafood, a wide variety of fruits, and desserts. They looked at each other and then turned to look at Director Zhang.

"No, director, have you changed your personality? You wouldn't be so wicked as to let us watch you eat," Lu Ge asked the director with his arms folded across his chest.

The others nodded, obviously thinking the same thing.

Director Zhang's face twitched, and he said unhappily, "I have a conscience. These dishes are your dinner."

Lu Ge approached him suspiciously and studied his face. "I don't think you're possessed by a ghost."

"Go away," Director Zhang waved his hand, looking speechless.

"Director, these are free. You are not waiting to cheat us out of a lot of money, are you?" Xiao Chuchu swallowed her saliva as she looked at so many delicious foods.

"It's all free. Do you want to eat it?" Director Zhang looked at the crowd. "If you don't want to eat it, I'll have them leave."

"Eat," Lin Chaojin took the chopsticks and started eating first, saying in a calm voice, "Although there is no free lunch in the world, the brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation."

Everyone agreed with this. They had been moving all day and their stomachs were growling with hunger, so they put everything else aside and ate first.

"Awooo," Xiao Chuchu picked up a lobster and put it in her mouth, clenching her fist. "A hard-working person, a hard-working soul."

[Hh, Chu Bao is so cute. Bao is right, eating is the most important thing. Eat more.]

"The eldest lady is right. Let's eat first if there's food to eat. You don't have to pay for it yourself. Otherwise, you'll have to pay for dinner tonight."

"Have you eaten enough? Have you had a good rest?" Director Zhang left while they were eating, and came back an hour later. He looked at the people sitting around the table and asked.

"Haha, director, can we just tell him that we didn't get enough rest?" Lu Ge glanced at him.

"That won't work." Director Zhang cleared his throat. "Now that everyone has eaten and drunk enough, let's start our last game of the day."

"No way, Director Zhang, come on! We don't really want to play games." Everyone wailed. Sure enough, the meal was not that delicious.

"Director, can I spit out the food for you?"

"Huh."

"No," Director Zhang said with a wooden face, "Our final game tonight is: escape from the amusement park."

"What? It's not another horror story, is it?" Lu Ge straightened up with a serious face, "If you, the director, keep doing this, I will..."

"Whatever you want," Director Zhang looked at him without changing his expression, then glanced at Lin Chaojin.

"I'm just staying here," Lu Ge said, feeling the director's glance at him. "It's not easy to ask my sister to help."

"Okay, there are no ghosts in Escape from the Amusement Park tonight."

"Wait, are there any undercover traitors or something?" Lu Ge glanced at Lin Chaojin, saw her looking at him, and turned his head away proudly.

Lin Chaojin glanced at him and felt her hands itching.

Director Zhang curled his lips and said, "No, you can all form teams of two, with your brothers, sisters, or other guests."

[Haha, our Ge Songsong still feels resentful about being betrayed by his sister, even though I'm so angry that I want to kill myself, haha.]

[I see the young lady's hands are getting restless. Apparently, her patience is running out. Haha, if Master Ge keeps being so annoying, be careful and get beaten up again.]

[Hasn’t Ge Songsong been beaten enough? Hah.]

[Director Zhang is such a hard worker, he's at it again. It feels like he's shooting a month's worth of material in just one day.]

[Escape from the amusement park sounds exciting, I'm looking forward to it, hurry up!]

"Okay, you guys can discuss forming a team first." Director Zhang said.

Lu Ge's eyes rolled around, and he put his hand on the shoulder of Chi Huai who was sitting next to him, "Brother, how about we team up tonight? We had a life-and-death friendship in the canyon."

Chi Huai raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes calm, "Whatever."

"Hey, why are you so reluctant? Don't you remember the life-and-death friendship we had in the canyon?" Lu Ge grinned.

[Huai Shen: Ha, what a ridiculous friendship in the Canyon! Have you forgotten your glorious 1:15:0 ​​record? Even three professional players can't maintain this friendship. It almost damaged the reputation of the FUI team.]

[Haha, Lu Ge is amazing. How did he say this to his family members without blushing or getting nervous?]

[As for the one in front, as long as you are thick-skinned enough, you can just hold the pot lid and walk away.]

[Haha, is Ge Songsong going to abandon his sister and walk away from his own path?]

Lu Ge turned around and looked at Lin Chaojin complacently, "Humph, see? I found a teammate I can trust, huh."

Lin Chaojin raised her eyebrows, "As long as you are happy."

Lu Ge patted Chi Huai's shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "Huai Shen, big brother, let's fight side by side tonight. I believe in you."

The author has something to say:

Now, let’s see if Ge Songsong’s trust is worth it.

To begin, Lu Ge: Huai Shen, I believe in you.

Afterwards, Lu Ge: Oh my god, Chi Huai, I trusted you so much.

Chi Huai raised his eyebrows: What is trust? Is it important to have a young lady?
