She had always regarded Wenmo as a ghost, naturally imagining her as a sleazy guy hiding in front of the computer, causing trouble in secret. She never imagined that this person she looked down on could actually control lightning? Wasn't lightning supposed to be the nemesis of all evil spirits? How could a ghost control lightning?
"Yes, do you want to try again?" Linghu Lan had lost her patience. She slowly extended her index finger towards Luo Ran'er and calmly said, "I'll ask you one last time, why did you kill me? Why did you call me a ghost? If you don't tell me, I won't listen to you when you want to tell me later."
Luo Ran'er looked nervously at Linghu Lan's fingers, then burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! What are you talking about? If you hadn't killed her, why would I come to kill you? Don't tell me you don't know! I came to kill you, isn't it because you wanted to kill me?"
Linghu Lan: "???"
With such a huge pot, where do we even begin?
She went through Wenmo's memories again and confirmed that Wenmo's life was indeed incredibly simple and tragic.
Born in a small town, orphaned, and raised by her grandmother, who passed away during her university years, she grew up alone and destitute, never even having a boyfriend. Her life ended at the age of twenty-six at the hands of Luo Ran'er.
Could there be some hidden secret here?
Her heart sank; Luo Ran'er knew far more than she had thought.
"Who did I kill? Why do you think I would kill you?"
Luo Ran'er glanced at Linghu Lan with a cold and arrogant expression, as if Linghu Lan were truly a disgusting ghost. She said coldly, "I won't tell you."
Linghu Lan: "..."
Damn it!
It's thuggish to kill you without telling you why, or to sentence you without telling you what crime you committed.
Without hesitation, Linghu Lan repeatedly applied the Thunderstorm Talismans to Luo Ran'er's body. According to her estimation, Luo Ran'er shouldn't die so easily, so she decided to use more talismans, hoping to get rid of the ghost wall.
Luo Ran'er's face changed instantly. This time, she was absolutely certain that Linghu Lan had indeed created those lightning bolts. She closed her eyes tightly, her voice trembling with fear. "Wenmo, let me tell you, you'll never get the answer from me. You've already killed one person, and I won't give you the chance to kill a second. Even if you strike me dead with lightning today, I will never tell you. I will definitely become a vengeful ghost and haunt you after I die."
The sky suddenly changed; the dark clouds that had just dispersed gathered again, this time with an even more thunderous and overwhelming force, seemingly capable of destroying a city.
Linghu Lan: "..." It seems like I've posted a bit too many.
But that's the female lead!
Betting a dime won't kill you so easily.
Linghu Lan looked up at the sky and responded to Luo Ran'er's words, "Since you are so devoted to exorcising ghosts and look down on them, why did you become a vengeful ghost after death? Why did you have to become the very thing you despise and dislike the most? Luo Ran'er, aren't you contradictory?"
"Huh?" Luo Ran'er was stunned; it seemed to be the first time she had thought about this question.
Linghu Lan continued, "If you ask me, since you hate ghosts so much, why don't you let go of your resentment and be reborn after death? Why become a vengeful ghost to seek revenge? Other ghosts come to the world to cause trouble, but if you become a vengeful ghost, it's considered righteous. Isn't that a double standard?"
