Chapter 209 - 210: Fortune Scammed Away
[Help, help, help! The more you think about it, the creepier it is!]
[So scary. What if there’s a bad guy hiding in her house?]
[Think about it... maybe what’s hiding in her house isn’t a person!]
Su Nian didn’t see any sign of ghosts on her, but what the girl said piqued her interest.
"Besides this, have you experienced anything else?"
The girl’s expression was filled with panic. "And my smart home system... it keeps talking for no reason, as if there’s an invisible person in the house controlling it."
[I bet it’s a ghost, 100%!]
[Or maybe some pervert saw how pretty she is and snuck into her house.]
[What if the system just has a bug? After all, these systems can be pretty shady nowadays. It’s possible it’s just malfunctioning.]
"How have you been lately? What’s your mental state like?"
Su Nian seemed to be asking if this situation could be caused by mental stress.
"I’m completely fine! I’ve even been to the hospital. This is definitely not a physical or mental problem!"
The girl immediately rejected the idea.
"I suspected that at first, too. I went to several hospitals for check-ups, I’ve been to pretty much every well-known hospital around. But there’s not a single thing wrong with my body. All the doctors told me I’m perfectly healthy, both physically and mentally."
"Also, I feel like I’ve been having sleep paralysis a lot lately. I’m always groggy, and one time, I think I even saw a shadowy, grayish-black figure!"
"I suspect it was a ghost!"
The girl’s tone was urgent. "And Streamer, I’m having auditory hallucinations, too! I keep hearing the sound of a plastic bag for no reason, but the sound is strange. It’s like it has intonation, with highs and lows."
[HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! I think I know what this is! She’s definitely encountered a ghost!]
[My sister used to hear the sound of a plastic bag, and later she asked someone who knows about this stuff. Turns out the voices of ghosts sound a lot like crinkling plastic bags!]
[The comment above is so creepy!]
[That scared me so much I had to grab two plastic bags and crinkle them!]
Su Nian lowered her gaze. "From the sound of it, there seem to be many ghosts around you. But only someone on the verge of death should be able to see so many."
The girl’s face instantly turned deathly pale, and her whole body seemed to sway unsteadily.
"Are you saying... I’m going to die soon?"
The girl was terrified that Su Nian was about to pronounce a death sentence on her. She desperately scrambled for explanations, as if trying to retract everything she had just said.
"The plastic bag... I probably misheard it! And seeing the gray shadow must be because I haven’t been resting well and I’m stressed!"
"Master, I’m actually fine, right?"
The girl looked at Su Nian, her eyes full of hope.
Su Nian shook her head. "No. There really are quite a few ghosts around you."
[Don’t tell me the pretty lady is about to kick the bucket!?]
[Such a pretty girl, what a waste!]
[Waaaah, the Streamer is never wrong. Rest in peace, miss. I’ll burn lots of joss paper for you!]
The girl’s expression fell instantly. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
But Su Nian took a bite of a peach and then casually added, "However, from my observation, you’re going to live for a very long time."
[Looks like the Streamer is also learning how to state the obvious now.]
[Listening to a master speak is as good as... listening to a master speak.]
[Forget wasting a few seconds of my life, you just toyed with the poor girl’s emotions!]
Huh???
The fear on her face froze in an instant, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Master, what on earth is going on?"
Su Nian said, "You are indeed being haunted. It’s because your luck has been transferred away by someone else."
