The crew of "Ghost Town Ghostly Fun" returned in triumph.
The missing guest, Lin You, was found only as a mutilated corpse torn apart by a vengeful ghost.
One guest asked worriedly, "Director, someone really died, what do we do?"
The director sighed helplessly: "You all came to Ghost City voluntarily and signed the life-and-death contract. Moreover, this program was led by Lin You, and he signed the most complete and enthusiastic life-and-death contract. There's nothing we can do but tell his family to come and collect the bodies."
The guests had no other choice but to sigh and put the matter aside for the time being.
… …
On the way back, Ji Linyuan had already edited the recording of Yama.
He also gave it to the program's director, asking him to publish the story of the Ghost City Lord conspiring with Qingfeng Temple to murder someone, and to also give a copy to the police.
As soon as Si Jin got home, she immediately chose a black gift box and went to the hospital to pick up Lin Qingyan from discharge.
Lin Qingyan had just received a notification from the program team that Lin You's body needed to be collected, and he was feeling heartbroken when he saw his son's shattered soul.
Suddenly everything went black, and before the discharge procedures were even completed, he collapsed on the hospital bed.
Upon waking up, she shouted that she was going to sue Si Jin.
But on the hospital room TV, they saw a news report that read, "Qingfeng Temple colludes with evil spirits to wreak havoc on the world, while the Palace Master of Tiance saves the entire nation single-handedly."
In the news, the surviving parents of the victims were all weeping and pleading for justice for their dead daughters.
They demanded that those involved in the Qingfeng Temple case be sentenced to death immediately.
His family's woodland was also among those sentenced to death.
A death row inmate can never win a lawsuit against a hero.
Lin Qingyan was so angry that his heart and lungs ached, but he was helpless.
Resigned to her fate, she held the gift box given to her by Si Jin, sat on the bed, and pieced together Lin You's fragmented soul bit by bit.
He only hoped that after the puzzle was pieced together, Si Jin would consider his father's feelings and, out of brotherly affection, properly guide Youyou to the afterlife and send him into the cycle of reincarnation.
However, after struggling for more than a month, he finally managed to go to Tian Ce Palace to beg Si Jin.
Si Jin picked up the gift box and, right in front of Lin Qingyan, smashed Lin You's soul to pieces, leaving not a trace.
Then, she smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
My hand... my hand slipped!
That's his own son!
He had poured his soul into this for over a month, setting aside his dignity and groveling before Lin Sijin, only to receive one sentence in return—
Did I accidentally drop it?
Those three simple words instantly shattered all of Lin Qingyan's hopes.
His eyes were bloodshot as he violently charged towards Si Jin: "Lin Si Jin! Give me back my son..."
"Your son? Hahahaha." Si Jin laughed and tossed him another paternity test result.
“Take a good look. This is what I found in Shen Lixia’s room. Lin You is her son with another man.”
"You have nothing."
With a loud "boom," Lin Qingyan's head felt like it had exploded, and he was in excruciating pain.
He snatched the paternity test and examined it carefully more than a dozen times.
Disbelieving, she rushed to the hospital, took her treasured hair from Lin Youmanyue and her own hair, and sent them for a paternity test.
Lin Qingyan spent almost all of his savings from the past years.
The paternity test results came out in one day.
When the results came back, it was indeed true that Lin You was not his child.
Lin Qingyan's mental state completely collapsed.
His beloved Shen Lixia was having an affair with another man behind his back.
He even raised someone else's son for over twenty years!
Lin couldn't take the blow and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Holding the paternity test results, he walked shakily towards the door.
His ears were ringing, and his brain could no longer receive any signals from the outside world.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the hospital, he was handcuffed by the police and locked in a police car.
It turned out that Shen Lixia, in order to get a reduced sentence, revealed in detail his intention to marry into the Lin family and his cruelty to the entire Lin family.
Now, he is about to be taken back for sentencing.
He has several lives on his hands, the lightest of which is a suspended death sentence.
"Haha, hahaha, hahahahahaha—"
Upon realizing this, Lin Qingyan burst into maniacal laughter.
He's gone mad.
He frantically recalled all the kindness the Lin family had shown him.
Thinking back to Si Jin and Si Qi, his two adorable children.
He had a wonderful life ahead of him: a strong-willed but loving wife, two obedient children, and unparalleled wealth and status.
He's ruined it all over the years, little by little.
After laughing wildly, Lin Qingyan broke down in tears.
Ultimately, during the sentencing, he frantically demanded to be executed by firing squad.
To make his life a tragedy through a cruel death.
Atonement.
… …
After Lin Qingyan died, his soul flew to Si Jin's torture formation.
At the same time, the system's mechanical notification sounded again: [Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the prescribed storyline and gaining 100 points. 70 points have been automatically deducted from the sin value. The remaining 30 points will be stored in the system space and belong to the system.]
Upon hearing this announcement, Xiao Yao, who had been dozing off in her cat bed, immediately perked up.
Its round cat eyes widened, its face full of admiration.
"My lord, didn't you say you wouldn't give me points?"
Si Jin sat in front of the dressing mirror, dressed in a white groom's suit.
While styling her hair, she replied: "I used your points to buy flowers, so I'll give you extra. Remember to bring back a few lollipops this time."
Xiao Yao: [Yes, yes, you're the best, adults! ~(^з^)-☆]
Si Jin looked at Lin Qingyan's delirious soul and felt it was bad luck. She said with disgust, "Little one, when you leave, throw him into the eighteenth level of hell in the underworld to be tortured. Let him do some hard work for the King of Hell."
Xiao Yao frowned, rubbing its furry tiger paws, clearly a little disgusted.
After thinking it over, she cautiously tried to bargain: "Then... then could you give me another lollipop?"
"Okay." Si Jin readily agreed and urged, "Hurry up, A Yuan and I have been preparing for a month, don't let it affect my wedding."
Xiao Yao nodded and was about to leave when she realized she was locked in the system space and couldn't get out.
Just as I was about to ask why, the system automatically sent a notification.
[Summoned by the main system, and due to special circumstances, I will soon be returning to the Celestial Prison with my host.]
[Teleportation Location: Sheriff's Office]
Reason: Unknown
[Command inputter: Director of the System Bureau, Rakshasa]
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Jin's surroundings changed.
He frowned, about to investigate the reason, when he heard a familiar voice.
"Brother~~~"
