Chapter 32
The audience in the barrage gasped, and a gloomy atmosphere filled the live broadcast room.
"No way! I just heard this lady say 'raising a little ghost'? Seriously? You can't just say things like that!"
[I heard it too. Now I'm alone at home and I feel a chill down my spine.]
[You're a liar! How dare you say such outrageous things just to gain traffic and attention? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?]
Lin Sheng was not too surprised when he heard the woman's words. Before crossing over, many people would set up formations in their homes to raise ghosts, but generally they did so to retain the souls of those close to them and were reluctant to let them leave. Guessing the reason, Lin Sheng asked calmly,
"When did you discover it? Did you see the little ghost in person?"
In front of the screen, the woman's eyes were sincere. She nodded silently in response to Lin Sheng, then turned her eyes to look outside the screen with a vague and vigilant look, as if she was afraid of something. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and moved closer to the screen.
"A month ago, my husband suddenly lit incense in the corners of the living room and bedroom. He never did this before, but he started doing housework intentionally or unintentionally, without worrying about me at all. He also repeatedly told me not to go near the utility room.
He said the light in the utility room was broken and the things inside were in a mess. He was afraid that I would fall, so he even locked it. I felt very strange, but his behavior made me want to see what was inside. Until one time, when he was drunk, I stole the key to the utility room, opened the door, and then saw..."
Before she could finish her words, the woman's screen suddenly went black, and the story came to an abrupt end.
[??? What happened? The person ran away in the middle of the story? This is ridiculous!]
Even a liar should finish his story. What's the point of keeping people on suspense? Okay, I confess, I'm drawn into the story. Please come back and tell me the sequel. woooo ...
[Could she have been discovered by the little ghost? The little ghost wouldn't really attack her!]
[Don't believe rumors, don't spread them. I'm one of the four great young men of modern times... Master, why don't you go over and take a look? I'm afraid she's 'died' in my phone, crying like a storm!]
The barrage was outputting crazily, but in the middle of it, I saw a woman send a reply in the barrage.
"My husband is back, Master. I'll find you tomorrow. You must help me."
After posting this, he disappeared, as if he had suddenly lost contact and was drowned in the barrage of comments.
[Can this girl still come tomorrow? This is unbelievable. Does anyone really have a ghost?]
I'm afraid something happened to her.
If her husband had a ghost, why did she survive? Wouldn't the ghost harm her?
Lin Sheng looked at the worry on the screen before answering.
"She'll be fine. The little devil won't hurt her."
[So there really are people who raise little ghosts!!!]
[This is terrifying. We live in a society ruled by law now. Don't believe or spread rumors. Master, do you sell life-saving talismans? Give me ten.]
[I want ten too. My life is more important.]
Lin Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the appeal in the barrage. He completely forgot about his original worries and immediately took a piece of yellow paper. With a wave of his hand, he drew a few strokes and a yellow talisman appeared in the center of the screen. Lin Sheng said nonchalantly,
"Take screenshots, take screenshots. Everyone who sees it gets a share. I'm not charging you any money today. Remember not to spread it around, or it won't work."
The barrage of comments once again paid homage to Lin Sheng.
After Lin Sheng and the others finished taking screenshots, the clock on the wall pointed to 11 o'clock in the evening. He stretched, yawned, and decided to end the broadcast.
"It's too late today, let's catch the little ghost tomorrow. I'm going to end the broadcast now. Bye~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sheng ended the live broadcast, turned around and fell on the big bed, and slept until dawn.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight climbed into the room from the windowsill and shone on Lin Sheng's big bed. The villa was in the suburbs, and the chirping of birds in the early morning became a natural alarm clock.
The deep sound of the half-hanging clock in the lobby on the first floor came to his ears, ancient and melodious. On the second day of moving in, Lin Sheng asked someone to repair the half-hanging clock.
Wangcai woke up at some point and started entertaining himself on the lawn in the backyard - commonly known as "digging a dog hole".
Lin Sheng looked at the originally flat grassland, which was forced to reveal several pits. His handsome brows knitted slightly and he shouted to Wangcai,
"For every extra hole, I'll give you a chicken leg. Are you a gopher? You like digging holes."
Wangcai stuck out his tongue and looked at Lin Sheng. The smile on his face stopped abruptly. He barked at Lin Sheng and started to work with his dog paws, quickly filling the holes one by one.
After Lin Sheng finished washing up and changed his clothes, he heard an unfamiliar phone call. He wanted to reject the call directly, but accidentally clicked the answer button. Then he heard a scream from the other end.
"Xiao Lin, two people suddenly broke in, saying they wanted to rob your mother's house. They've already smashed the door and are throwing away your mother's belongings. Come back and take a look!"
When Lin Sheng heard this, he felt that something was wrong. Although she was not his biological mother, she had at least taken over the original body's identity. Moreover, the dead were the most important. Lin Sheng had no reason to ignore it. He became alert in an instant and asked in a serious tone,
"What's the address?"
The situation was urgent, and the other party did not doubt it too much and directly revealed an address.
"417 North Gate Bridge 32nd Street."
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Sheng instructed the opposite side,
"Please help keep an eye on it, I'll be there right away!"
After explaining everything, he hung up the phone. Lin Sheng hurriedly sent a message to Xu Guannan. Five minutes later, there was no reply from Xu Guannan, so he simply called the police.
"Hello, I want to report a break-in at 417 Beimenqiao 32nd Street. It's an emergency."
After giving a brief explanation, the taxi stopped at the intersection of Beimen Bridge and No. 32 Street.
Lin Sheng hurriedly paid the fare and got off the bus. He happened to run into an anxious-looking old lady who said,
"Xiao Lin, those two women brought two big men with them and dumped all of your mother's clothes and photo albums in the hallway. Come and take a look!"
Hearing the voice, Lin Sheng recognized the person who had just called. Before he could figure out the old lady's identity, she pulled him away.
Lin Sheng walked into the narrow corridor and climbed four floors in one breath. Before he reached the door of Room 417, he heard harsh shouting and cursing.
"What bad luck! It's a good thing she died early, this house should have been ours! It's all because of the blind old woman's partiality that she left the house to this sickly bastard. The little girl born by that bitch deserves to die too. She even dared to play dirty tricks on us last time."
The people in the house were shouting and cursing, throwing things out, and the corridor was filled with the sound of smashing things.
The other residents in the corridor poked their heads out of their doors. Unsure of the situation, they didn't dare to say anything. Only when they saw Lin Sheng coming did they start to get agitated.
Lin Sheng frowned, recognizing the identity of the person in the room just by the voice. A chill emanated from his body. Just as he reached the door, a photo of a mother and daughter on a blind date fell right at Lin Sheng's feet. The glass on the surface of the album was smashed, and the glass fragments brushed past Lin Sheng's eyes, almost leaving a blood mark on his delicate face.
Noticing the figure standing at the door, Huo Feifei met Lin Sheng's gaze. Feeling the fierceness in Lin Sheng's eyes, her heart trembled for a moment. She hurried forward and tugged at Liu Cuifen's sleeve.
"I'm doing business, what do you want to do?"
Liu Cuifen frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Huo Feifei's "slacking off". When she turned around, she saw Lin Sheng appear at the door. She felt guilty for a moment, but then she gave an order to the two big men in the room.
"Keep smashing it. If you do well, I'll give you extra money. Two hundred extra per person."
When the big man heard this, he worked even harder.
Liu Cuifen picked up a photo on the table with disdain, looked at Lin Sheng provocatively, tore the photo into pieces in front of him, and threw the pieces in Lin Sheng's face, with a hint of pride in her words.
"This house should have been ours. Now that that sickly guy is dead, it should be returned to its rightful owner."
At this time, the neighbor aunt bravely walked to Lin Sheng and whispered in her ear,
"Xiao Lin, I heard from your mother before that she bought this house with all the money she paid for it, but I heard that the property certificate is not in her hands."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng's face darkened, and he looked obviously unhappy.
"Since it's your house, take out your property certificate and show it to everyone."
As if her lifeblood was being pinched, Liu Cuifen's eyes froze for a moment, but she quickly suppressed her inner panic and retorted confidently,
"Of course I do! But why should I listen to you? I can take back my own house, why can't I? The old woman took you in because she felt sorry for you. Life as a mistress must be hard, and you still dream of turning into a phoenix by flying on your finger? You are just dreaming!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors standing around watching the show began to point fingers at Lin Sheng. Their eyes gradually became meaningful, and the glances they cast at Lin Sheng were full of unfriendly expressions.
"No wonder Xiao Huo is raising the child alone. I used to feel sorry for them, mother and daughter, but I never thought she would go out and become a mistress. I was really blind at the time, and I even helped them from time to time."
"Thinking back to Xiao Huo's face before, she definitely had the potential to be a mistress. Rich men all like this kind of look, right? She even had the nerve to fight with her family for the house."
"Not only is she the mistress, but she also gave birth to the child. Isn't this deliberately trying to destroy the family and turn a black chicken into a phoenix? You really can't judge a person by their appearance!"
One sentence after another is like kicking someone when they are down, as if people's hearts are vulnerable at this moment and can be manipulated by the slightest disturbance.
Only the neighbor lady stood beside Lin Sheng. After hearing the words that were so unpleasant to the ear, she could not help but turn around and look at the people around her, pointing at their noses and cursing.
"Yushu always sends you gifts, but now that someone's dead, you're all jealous? You act like humans, but the things you say and do are nothing but beastly behavior! Get out of here! Go back to your doghouse!"
As she spoke, the neighbor lady picked up a broom nearby and chased everyone away.
Lin Sheng held down the neighbor lady with one hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. A cold look appeared in his eyes, and he said with a sinister smile,
"Don't leave. Don't you want to watch the show? How can you not watch it all? I've recorded everything you said and did. If you're interested, let's go to the police station for a cup of tea together."
