Chapter 302: Chapter 304: Cause of Death
It was hard to describe the complex emotions swirling inside the female ghost. She stared blankly at her hands, still not understanding what had just happened.
[LMAO, I’m seriously dying of laughter.]
[Streamer, you’re a master of bullshitting. I’m gonna die laughing.]
[Guys, look at her expression! She looks so clueless.]
[Yeah, yeah! It’s like she has no idea what’s going on.]
[Our streamer is on another level! You’re a real pro!]
After a moment of confusion, the female ghost placed a hand on her stomach.
She could feel the life within, as if it were urging her to deliver fresh blood and flesh to its mouth.
The female ghost stewed for a moment before her eyes finally turned red and she glared at Su Nian.
Her eyes filled with resentment. In an instant, her hair exploded outwards, and her mouth twisted into a vicious snarl.
Her previously dazed face was now a mask of malice. Her eyes were wide, and Su Nian’s reflection was captured in her blood-red pupils.
Even her fingernails began to grow again, inch by inch.
"My son is hungry! My son is hungry! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!"
She roared as she charged at Su Nian.
But before she could even get close, Su Nian planted a kick squarely in her chest.
With a loud CRASH, she was sent flying.
Su Nian didn’t have any noble habits like respecting the elderly, cherishing the young, or showing reverence for pregnant women.
Seeing that the woman wouldn’t give up, Su Nian walked right up and seized her by the neck.
Su Nian’s expression was icy, far more intimidating than the female ghost’s. In that instant, the ghost couldn’t help but flinch.
Su Nian glanced at the girl still sitting on the windowsill.
"Why has she been haunting you?"
The girl finally spoke, her face tear-stricken. She was so afraid that her voice, trembling, kept breaking.
"I don’t know! I just noticed something was wrong after I moved into this apartment."
"But the location is great, it’s spacious, and the rent was especially cheap, so I moved in. Who knew I’d find her right after I settled in?"
"She comes out to haunt me every night. I’m so scared. But I really don’t have the money to move out, and the landlord won’t give me a refund. Streamer, I really didn’t mean to put you in danger!"
The young lady’s voice was already laced with sobs. Su Nian had no intention of holding it against her, but her gaze toward the female ghost grew even colder.
"And you? Why are you lingering in this apartment?"
The female ghost’s eyes widened, full of rage and resentment.
"My child is hungry. Can’t I just feed him a little something?"
The female ghost spoke with utter conviction, playing the part of a single mother to perfection.
Su Nian scoffed, her eyes filled with scorn.
[This female ghost sounds pretty pitiful, but what about her husband?]
[Judging by her state, she must have died an unnatural death. Could she have been murdered?]
[I think the number one suspect is her husband.]
Su Nian gripped the ghost’s chin and studied her face. The female ghost couldn’t help but want to struggle and resist.
But after meeting Su Nian’s piercingly cold eyes, she quietly lowered her hands. ’This woman will actually beat me up.’
Su Nian’s kick had been too vicious. Even as a ghost, she could feel a faint ache in her chest. Her intuition screamed at her: this woman was not to be trifled with!
Not only could Su Nian read the faces of the living, but she could naturally read the faces of ghosts as well.
After looking at the female ghost’s face, she confirmed her suspicions. ’Just a fool, that’s all.’
[As a level-10 veteran fan, one look at the streamer’s expression and I know this female ghost is definitely bad news.]
[Who says! Stop talking nonsense.]
[Yeah, the streamer never said anything like that.]
[You’re calling her bad news? I think *you’re* the one who’s bad news!]
[Seriously, she’s pregnant. That’s pitiful enough as it is.]
The majority of comments in the live chat were defending the pregnant woman.
Some even started directly cursing out the user who had doubted her.
But at that moment, Su Nian tightened her grip on the ghost’s chin and let out a cold snort.
"You really brought this on yourself."
"What... what do you mean? What do you mean, you bitch?"
The female ghost was furious and began to claw desperately at the ground again.
She postured as if to attack Su Nian, but before she could strike, Su Nian grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and lifted her up.
Like lifting a dazed kitten, the female ghost suddenly became docile, her face once again a mask of shock.
Su Nian, still holding her, unceremoniously threw her to the floor, but her eyes were fixed on the ghost’s stomach.
"Wang Lian, born in ’87. You had a fight with your husband and deliberately turned on the gas to scare him, to make him care about you more. But who would have thought? After hearing what you’d done, your husband was in such a rush that he got into a car accident on his way to you."
"And you, in your hurry to see your husband, tripped and fell. That one fall killed both you and your child. Tell me, isn’t this a tragedy of your own making?"
[Damn, so that’s the story.]
[Wait a second, why does this sound so familiar?]
[I was thinking it sounded familiar, too.]
[Found it, I found it!]
[I think this was in the news before!]
With the eagle eyes of countless netizens on the case, nothing could stay hidden for long.
Before long, a user posted a news article.
Someone even thoughtfully sent it to Su Nian as a private message.
A quick look confirmed it: the incident was indeed this woman’s fault.
[Due to the woman’s extreme possessiveness, she threatened her husband with her own life and that of their child. The husband, in his haste, was killed in a car accident while driving to her. The woman, in a state of shock, also fell, resulting in a tragedy that claimed two lives.]
[So it’s really true. The streamer was right. Isn’t this just a case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"?]
[She reaped what she sowed. I think her husband is the most pitiful one in all this.]
[Look at the article, it reports on other things too. For example, if her husband so much as glanced at another woman, she’d throw a huge tantrum and forbid him from looking.]
[Oh, no wonder she went after this young girl. You don’t think she thought the girl would seduce her husband?]
The netizens’ speculation grew wilder and wilder.
Su Nian looked at the female ghost, whose face was deathly pale, as if she had just recalled something terrible.
Then she asked, feigning confusion, "Hey, why isn’t your husband here?"
This single sentence was all it took for the deflated female ghost to rally once more.
She stared at Su Nian with bloodshot eyes, as if she had instantly leveled up.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Even her fingernails began to grow at a rapid pace, and the child in her belly thrashed about wildly.
The face of an infant clearly pressed against her stomach, its general features visible even through her white dress.
A sinister aura began to slowly fester. The door to the room started swinging open and shut, letting out a CREAKING sound.
The curtains stirred without a breeze, and even the lights began to flicker on and off. But even under these circumstances...
