Chapter 105 Why did you come back just now?
After a brief emo moment, Lin Xi revived after getting off the car. She took Shen Sangning out to visit the streets and meet all the parents. Of the seventeen parents, only eight stayed home during the day. Adding Lin Xi and Shen Sangning, there were ten people in total. It wasn't a large group, but it was enough.
Lin Xi explained her purpose to them. They all looked embarrassed, but Lin Xi threatened them with a smile: "You don't want to be homeless, do you?"
Shen Sangning echoed beside him: “Homeless~”
"You don't want to be left dead in the wilderness, do you?"
"Corpses exposed in the wilderness~"
"You don't want to turn into black balls and go into my wife's belly, do you?"
"Into my belly~"
She had considered every aspect of her threat, even including her family. She even threatened them once more: "Think it over carefully. You'd better stand on the same front with me. Otherwise, if they run away, you won't be able to escape. After all..."
"The monk can escape, but the temple cannot." Shen Sangning understood Lin Xi's words very well and supplemented them. Facing these two fierce monsters, the family and parents trembled in fear, but finally agreed.
Lin Xi thought, these guys probably can't escape. "Home," as a concrete place, doesn't have legs, so it can't escape. And ghosts can't easily gain recognition from other homes. If it were easy, all the ghosts in Lin Xi's neighborhood would have run away.
Take the neighbor in Room 404, for example. She's clearly no match for Shen Sangning, and knowing that she eats ghosts, she always turns tail and leaves, quickly heading home and closing the door. Even so, she still hasn't chosen to move, demonstrating that finding "home" isn't easy.
So Lin Xi directly manipulated the parents. After that, Lin Xi went out and went with Shen Sangning to a convenience store to buy notebooks and pens. They then found a restaurant, ordered their meals, and sat down. Lin Xi and Shen Sangning moved their chairs and sat close together to discuss the script.
It seemed a bit contrived to directly apply Zhu Zhu's story; it had to be adapted. This troubled Lin Xi. She wasn't good at this kind of work to begin with. She hadn't even passed her high school composition exams, so asking her to write a script after graduating from university was going to be a real hassle.
Lin Xi bit her pen, unsure how to write. However, Chen Sang Ning, showing off her literary talent, suddenly said, "How about we write 'A Lost Girl Who Strayed into the World of the Gods'?" Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and she thought of the classic play: "Alice in Wonderland?"
“It’s okay to feel this way!”
After Shen Sangning's suggestion, Lin Xi's imagination was also opened up, and he even combined it with the classical fairy tale. A Cinderella took a nap in the forest, and when she woke up, she found herself in a strange world. As a result, at this time, she met a soft-hearted god.
Shen Sangning volunteered: "I'll do it! I'll do it! This role will be played by Ningning!"
Chen Sangning was no fool. She clearly understood that there were only so many people, and Lin Xi would definitely have to perform. As the only living person in the family, it was almost natural for her to play the role of the young girl. In this situation, a soft-hearted god wanted to take care of a human girl. Who else could she play this role but Chen Sangning?
Lin Xi might also make Shen Sang Ning unhappy because of this little thing, so she agreed: "Okay, Ning Ning will play the soft-hearted god."
After the kind-hearted god picked up the human girl, he gave her a warm home, gorgeous clothes, and delicious food, which were all things that a human girl could only dream of.
"Isn't she having a little too good a life?" Lin Xi frowned. Seeing what she had written in the notebook, she felt that it was a bit outrageous. Ghosts shouldn't be so kind to people, right? However, Shen Sangning thought: "No problem, no problem at all, it should be this good!"
"Ningning, you can't put yourself in this situation."
Shen Sangning pouted: “Well, be good to her, she can also miss home and the human world in the dead of night.”
"Okay." Lin Xi decisively added the "homesick" option. Then, she added the "gorgeous clothes" tag, "Ask for them when I get back." Not only did she need to ask for the gorgeous clothes, but she also needed to ask for the costumes for the performance. While she hadn't seen the Cinderella play, she had seen a viral video about it.
Cinderella was originally wearing a simple dress. Someone next to her pulled a corner of the dress. As the actress spun around, the simple dress was pulled open, and the beautiful dress spun in front of the audience. So handsome, so beautiful, she wants this too!
Lin Xi didn't care where her home came from. To her, it was like a wishing well. She could refresh her food and clothes, and she wouldn't be short of costumes for the performance. Lin Xi began to make up stories again when the waiter arrived with their orders. Halfway through their meal, Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning started writing again.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Xi put away her notebook and went out with Shen Sang Ning to find a supermarket. During this time, a clerk came over and said that Lin Xi and her friends had occupied the seats for too long and the consequences would be...
It was eaten by Shen Sang Ning. After sacrificing two waiters, the restaurant fell completely silent.
Of course, this cannot be done in real life, but in the world of ghost stories, Lin Xi lets himself go.
The bus arrived quickly, taking them past two or three supermarkets before finally finding a printer. Of course, the printer disagreed with Lin Xi's request, but after being scolded by Shen Sang Ning, it obediently copied three hundred flyers for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was satisfied as she took a shopping bag from the supermarket and put the flyers into it. Then she carried the things and went with Shen Sangning to pick up Lin Lin.
When Lin Lin came to them after school, she saw Lin Xi holding a shopping bag full of papers. Curious, she took a closer look. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi was wary of her like a thief and refused to show her. Lin Lin pouted, a little annoyed, revealing her childish side: "If you don't want to show me, then don't! Who cares!"
Even if Lin Lin said so, Lin Xi would not show her the flyer.
After a while, the trio came out and began to exchange information with Lin Xi. Upon hearing what Lin Xi was planning to do, Wei Ziqi sighed again and couldn't help but say, "I really think it's too dangerous. You'd better be careful."
"Don't worry, my wife will protect me!"
Shen Sangning stood by and gestured with her arm again.
Wang Xue hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said softly, "Actually, when other staff members in the cafeteria were chatting last night, they mentioned a piece of gossip." Wang Xue brought it up specifically at this time, obviously because the gossip was unreliable, and she didn't know whether to say it or not, but now no matter what kind of gossip it was, Lin Xi felt it necessary to listen to it.
"you say."
"They themselves don't know, and they just heard it from hearsay. They said that when Principal Di first became the principal, he and Teacher Gao rented a house together, and later for some unknown reason, the two separated."
——Ah, this is really unexpected news.
"They live together?"
"right."
Lin Xi pursed her lips, thinking. Wei Ziqi, standing beside her, was thinking faster than she was, based on the information. "If that's the case, then we can infer that Principal Di and Teacher Gao used to have a very close relationship, but later, for some reason—perhaps because of Zhu Zhu—their relationship deteriorated, leading to their separation."
Lin Xi thought so too. She nodded, indicating that she agreed with Wei Ziqi's statement.
She thanked Wang Xue, and the three of them chatted for a while before leaving. Lin Xi took Chen Sangning and Lin Lin on the bus. After arriving at the community, Lin Lin tilted her head and asked Lin Xi, "Are you planning a performance?"
"yes."
Lin Xi didn't explain what she wanted to perform just now, but Lin Lin is a smart child except in her studies, and she only looks like a child. According to the previous conversation, Lin Lin has been a ghost longer than Lin Xi has been a human. This is an old ghost who looks like a child but is actually a sister or possibly an aunt.
Lin Lin quickly guessed that the performance Lin Xi was about to perform was related to Zhu Zhu. She looked at the bag Lin Xi was carrying and asked, "You really can't show it to me?"
"If you knew, you might tell the teacher about it, and then all my efforts would be wasted."
Lin Lin pouted: "No way, I won't tell tales."
Although she was an old ghost, Lin Lin sometimes behaved like a child. Lin Xi looked at Lin Lin for a while, not sure if she could trust her. After thinking for a while, Lin Xi decided to follow her sixth sense and took out a flyer from her bag and handed it to Lin Lin.
In fact, just now at the school gate, Lin Xi was not just on guard against Lin Lin. In fact, she was on guard against anyone related to the school.
Lin Lin took the flyer that Lin Xi gave her and then stayed where she was. Lin Xi and Shen Sangning had walked ten meters away when Lin Xi realized that Lin Lin had not caught up. She turned her head and looked at Lin Lin and said, "Why haven't you caught up yet?" Lin Lin replied, "I'll be right there." Then she carried her small schoolbag and walked up to Lin Xi with the flyer in her hand.
She clutched the flyer tightly, making it slightly wrinkled. She seemed to want to speak, but didn't know how, so she swallowed her words. She followed Lin Xi and Shen Sangning up the stairs. Lin Xi observed Lin Lin's expression and could tell that Zhu Zhu was very important to her.
The known information now is that Zhu Zhu was once a living person, but is now dead, and has probably been in the world of ghost stories for nine years. She will read along as she ages, so is there a possibility that Lin Lin was once Zhu Zhu's classmate?
Lin Xi walked out of the elevator, puzzled, only to find someone squatting outside her home. Seeing Lin Xi and the others return, the person quickly got up from the ground, clutching a suitcase. Seeing Lin Xi, she gave him a look of "finally seeing my family," and even a hint of tears in her voice: "Why did you come back so late? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? You guys wouldn't even let me in, wuwuwu..."
The visitor was the current owner of the funeral home. Lin Xi's eyes fell on the suitcase she was holding, and she understood:
——She came to give herself money.
