Chapter 231 - 232: She Bit Me
As Xiao Lin spoke, she was still clutching the doll tightly in her hands.
[Is the fortune-telling master opening a new business as a doctor?]
[It sounds unreliable at first, but when you think about it, it’s not wrong to go to the master for this kind of thing.]
[Heavenly Venerate: I see you’re trying to make things difficult for me!]
Meeting Xiao Lin’s sorrowful gaze, which seemed to say she and her doll were about to be parted by death, Su Nian pinched her fingers together to make a quick calculation and then took a closer look at her facial features.
"Have you considered the possibility that it’s not a problem with your memory?"
Xiao Lin froze for a moment, her small eyes filled with immense confusion. She then shook her head vigorously, like a pellet drum. "But there’s really no one showing up at home! I checked the security footage!"
Seeing that the young woman still hadn’t grasped her meaning, Su Nian’s expression grew complicated.
’Can’t you just think along supernatural lines?’
Su Nian looked down again at the doll in Xiao Lin’s hands. Peering through its cute exterior, she saw a withered, blackened, and emaciated body bizarrely compressed inside the small doll.
The ghost energy radiating from this body was incredibly dense. Wisps of Dark Aura had almost materialized, so black they looked like they could drip ink.
Even an ordinary person could tell something was off just by looking into the doll’s eyes.
[Is the streamer trying to say there’s a ghost in her house?]
[I don’t know, I’m scared to say, but if you look closely, her doll is seriously creepy.]
[It really is creepy. I keep getting the feeling that it’s blinking.]
Su Nian asked, "This doll of yours... when did you first notice something wasn’t right with it?"
"Huh? Let me think..."
"Well, I’m always trimming its hair. But the weird thing is, its hair always stays the same length."
"It’s as if... as if I never trimmed it at all."
Su Nian understood now. So, it wasn’t that the girl was clueless, but rather that she didn’t dare to conclude that the doll was the source of the problem.
"Here. Cut it now."
As she spoke, Su Nian casually produced a pair of scissors.
Xiao Lin took the scissors, hesitating slightly.
"Are you sure the problem isn’t with me?"
Su Nian: "..."
[This girl is so stubborn!]
[She’d rather believe she’s going crazy than even consider that there’s a problem with the doll!]
[This is true love, no doubt about it!]
[For real, I’m crying!]
Her face cold, Su Nian was completely numb. "You have a thousand schemes, but every single one of them is hollow."
"Huh?"
"Just cut it!"
Urged on by Su Nian, Xiao Lin lifted the scissors and carefully made a cut. SNIP! A lock of hair fell away.
It didn’t look like anything was out of the ordinary, but Su Nian saw a black mist begin to swirl around the strands of hair.
Everything seemed normal. Su Nian took the doll to examine it closely. Other than the strangeness with its hair, there was indeed nothing special about it.
[So is there a problem or not?]
[Usually, when the streamer makes that face, it means there’s probably a problem.]
[My summary: there’s a problem, but only a little one.]
Xiao Lin also frowned as she took the doll back. You could tell she felt bad about its hair.
After all, she had just cut off a pretty big chunk.
"Heavenly Venerate, there’s nothing wrong with the doll!"
Su Nian shook her head and was just about to reply.
But Xiao Lin let out a short, sharp cry and threw the doll away from her.
"Ah!"
This sudden turn of events stunned the viewers. One moment she was defending the doll, so why the sudden change?
’Could it be that the streamer made a mistake? Is she actually sick?’
"It... it felt like it was biting me just now!"
Xiao Lin’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. She was now clutching her left index finger with her right hand. A piece of skin on the pad of her finger was broken, and red blood was seeping out.
