Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 43

Chapter 43: Playing a Game (Part 2)

“Do we really have to go in?”

Xie Yu was a little intimidated by the two-story building in front of her, which was different from the other one-story houses in the village.

Sang Jing didn’t answer her but hooked the puppet thread in her hand. Xie Yu was directly pulled over. “…”

Sang Jing smiled and flicked the puppet thread. “You haven’t done anything wrong. What are you afraid of?”

The puppet thread was connected to Xie Yu’s wrist. When the force came over, it was as if Sang Jing had slapped her.

Xie Yu bent over abruptly, as if she had been slapped to the ground.

Sang Jing: “…”

She had forgotten that the puppet thread could amplify a Xuan Master’s power.

Xie Yu straightened up, held out her hand to Sang Jing, and looked at her resentfully. “I just said one thing, and you had to be so heavy-handed.”

Sang Jing blinked, a little guilty. She coughed and faced the two-story building. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

Xie Yu snorted and began to demand her compensation. “I want to eat hot pot tomorrow.”

Sang Jing: “We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Xie Yu raised an eyebrow. When the reserved person said that, it meant she agreed.

“Work properly,” Sang Jing reminded her, looking at the phone that hadn’t been held up for a long time.

After talking for a while, Xie Yu was not so scared anymore. She began to be a serious assistant, aiming the phone at Sang Jing’s side profile, capturing both her and the house in front.

She glanced at the bullet comments again—

【(despise) (despise) (despise) (eye roll) (eye roll) (eye roll)】

【Who said this isn’t a couple’s account? This is it!】

【Sang Sang, Sang Sang~~~ I also want to eat hot pot tomorrow~~~】

【I have a question! Can ghosts also eat hot pot? Don’t they all eat incense?】

【Answer to the question! A Celestial Master can draw a talisman to let a ghost taste the flavor.】

【I never thought that one day I would be watching a streamer and her assistant being all lovey-dovey in such a terrifying livestream.】

【Stop showing off. Hurry up and go in. I’d rather see a ghost now.】

【So sweet (hee hee)】

Xie Yu liked them one by one, then blacklisted and kicked out those with provocative and foul mouths.

Outside the village—

Shen Lan looked at Tan Wei curiously. “Vice-Chairman Tan, are you and your Ah Qing like this too? I’ve heard a saying before, that Ghost Masters come with their own wives. Is it true?”

Tan Wei: “…It’s fake.”

Ah Qing, who was standing beside her, glanced at her, the corners of her mouth curving into a faint smile, and she let out a soft scoff.

Tan Wei: “…”

Shen Lan: “Oh?”

When Sang Jing and Xie Yu had just entered the house, they had encountered something strange. There was always a child running around them, and she would say to them with a grin, “Sisters, let’s play a game together~”

【No, no, no. Good baby, good baby. Please don’t scare us, wuwuwuwu.】

【This is the child from the ‘Ghost Sighting’ video, right? Her laughter is making my scalp tingle.】

【It’s over. The layout of their house is so similar to ours. Now I want to go to the bathroom.】

【Streamer, run!!!! Run!!!!】

【Wuwuwu, Sang Sang, let’s not play with her, okay? I’m scared. I’m already huddled under the blanket.】

【A cold fact, ghosts can also get under the blanket. The blanket seal is useless.】

【I hate you.】

【I hate you.】

【I hate you.】

…

“Alright,” Sang Jing agreed.

Xie Yu whipped her head around to look at her. Alright? What’s alright!? Do you know what she’s playing that you’re saying alright!? And did I agree? Did you ask me!?

Sang Jing looked at her, as if she could see the question marks in her head but was pretending not to know, a cunning smile flashing in her eyes. “What’s wrong? You don’t want to play?”

I don’t want to!

Xie Yu was about to speak when the little child said again in a gloomy voice, “Sister, you don’t want to play?”

Xie Yu: “…”

Yes, I don’t want to play with you.

Forcing a smile, Xie Yu didn’t know where to say it. “Play, I want to play.”

The little girl: “Then let’s play house. One of you will be the mother, and the other will be the sister. I’ll be the little sister.”

Sang Jing and Xie Yu looked at each other and said at the same time, “I’ll be the mother.”

Sang Jing: “…”

Xie Yu: “…”

【I’m dying of laughter. How did the tone suddenly become so funny?】

【Actually, I think Assistant Xiao Xie has a very motherly aura when she curses at people with a cold face (whispers).】

【Hey everyone, now is not the time to talk about this, right? Don’t forget, this child’s mother and sister are both… hmm.】

【Then what about her original mother and sister?】

【I’m so scared!!! It’s all because of the person who said the blanket seal is useless. My cat just got under the blanket. My god, at that moment, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my mouth.】

【Friends, it’s twelve o’clock in the morning.】

Neither Sang Jing nor Xie Yu would back down. In the end, the little girl said very considerately, “Then I’ll help you choose~”

The little girl chose Xie Yu.

Sang Jing: “…”

Tsk.

Xie Yu was happy for a second, but the next second, she saw a thin, long figure walk out from the corner. This figure had appeared in the ‘Ghost Sighting’ video.

Xie Yu choked. That little girl was walking towards her.

In a moment of desperation, she held up her phone.

The bullet comment section was instantly in an uproar.

【Little Assistant, Little Assistant, hurry up and take me away!!!】

【Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha.】

【Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, don’t let me be in the front.】

【What is this thing? It’s so dark. I just got here. Can someone explain?】

【A child who was burned to death.】

【?】

In an instant, half of the viewers in the livestreaming room were gone, scared away.

Xie Yu retreated, retreated, retreated to Sang Jing’s side, grabbing her hand and hugging herself.

Sang Jing looked at the little girl who had come out. Her body was already carbonized, and the shape of her bones was revealed. Her whole body was not supported by flesh and blood, which was why she looked so thin and long.

She pursed her lips and looked into the girl’s empty eye sockets, meeting her gaze.

The little girl looked at the ‘mother’ and ‘sister’ who were hugging each other. She tilted her head and reached out her hand. “Mama, I want a hug too.”

Sang Jing pushed Xie Yu out. “She’s calling you.”

Xie Yu shook her head quickly. “No, no, no, no, no, I’m not, I’m not her mother.”

After she said this, the malevolence on the little girl’s body uncontrollably surged out.

She was angry.

Seeing this, Sang Jing squatted down and gently held the little girl’s hand.

A child’s anger came quickly and went quickly. The malevolence retreated before it could hurt Sang Jing.

“Come, sister will hug you,” Sang Jing said, pulling her over.

Pushing the big ghost in her arms out, Sang Jing opened her arms and hugged the little girl.

The moment their bodies touched, Sang Jing felt a piercing, burning pain. She closed her eyes and saw a house engulfed in a great fire, and a child and an old person crying helplessly in the fire. They were hugging each other, and in the end, their lives were mercilessly taken by the fire.

One of the talents of a Ghost Master was to be able to connect with ghosts and feel their deepest feelings.

Xie Yu was originally scared, but seeing Sang Jing holding that small body, the fear in her heart seemed to be diluted, and sadness began to well up. She was also a ghost, and she also had a terrifying death appearance. What she was afraid of was a child’s death appearance. How much pain must she have been in when she died?

The livestream was still going on. Unlike the chaos just now, this time the bullet comments were a little silent.

【Why am I suddenly a little sad?】

【Me too.】

【Wuwuwu, this child is the same age as my little sister.】

【I’m sorry, sister shouldn’t have said you were scary just now. Baby, you… you’re a good baby.】

【Sang Sang is so brave and gentle. In this situation, it’s hard for anyone to reach out and hug her without hesitation.】

【No, I’m still scared.】

【(crying) The baby just wants to play a game. She didn’t mean to scare people.】

Xie Yu also squatted down. She reached out and stroked the little girl’s head.

Sang Jing glanced at her in surprise.

“Sister smells so good,” the little girl said, sniffing Sang Jing’s body. She opened her mouth as if to lick her lips.

Sang Jing smiled and lit three sticks of incense for her.

The little girl ate two mouthfuls ravenously, then stopped eating and just stared at the incense.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Sang Jing asked her.

The little girl looked at her. “It’s so fragrant and delicious. After eating, I’ll have strength. I’ll leave it for my mom and sister.”

So sensible.

Xie Yu pointed at the incense. “Mom and sister won’t eat it. You can eat it.”

The little girl turned to look at her, then at Sang Jing, and lowered her head. “The game is over. I want to give this to my real mom and sister.”

Xie Yu saw Sang Jing’s quickly fading smile and secretly gritted her teeth. The reserved person knew and didn’t even remind her.

“Then where are your mom and sister?” Sang Jing asked her.

The little girl pointed outside. “Mom and sister went to find sister.”

To find sister?

Sang Jing frowned, then remembered the comments she had seen under the ‘Ghost Sighting’ video. A child had been lost before the big fire in this house. The lost child had possessed that girl in the video and had returned home. She had also died.

So the little girl’s mother and sister should be looking for the sister’s body.

“Then shall we take you to find your mom and sister?”

“Alright, they’re at the back pond.”

There was a pond behind the village, filled with lotus flowers, which were in full bloom at this time.

Sang Jing led a big ghost and a little ghost to the back pond. In the lotus pond, a thin figure was bent over, searching for something. On the shore stood a small child, a little bigger than the one in Sang Jing’s hand.

“Mama! Sister!”

The cheerful voice was sharp and piercing. The little girl was so happy to see her mother and sister that she couldn’t control herself, and naturally didn’t know what kind of harm her loud shout would cause to the people beside her.

Sang Jing only felt a pain in her ear. She reached out and touched it, and blood came out.

Her ears were ringing, and a jumble of sounds mixed together.

Xie Yu was also dizzy from the shout. She turned her head and saw Sang Jing’s lips pursed, her body swaying. She quickly went to support her. “Are you alright?”

Sang Jing looked at her open mouth but heard no sound. She vaguely made out what she was saying by the shape of her lips, then shook her head.

The next second, a thick, foggy ghostly energy rushed towards her, heading straight for Sang Jing.

“Let her go!” the female ghost’s voice was shrill, her attack fierce and fast.

Sang Jing reached out and blocked Xie Yu behind her, and several talismans flew out.

Outside the livestream screen—

Shen Lan sat up straight, her mouth agape as she watched the shaky image.

She now knew why Tan Wei had dared to directly set Sang Jing’s strength at seven-coin.

This ability to control talismans was terrifyingly stable. To be able to control five talismans at the same time after being injured by ghostly energy.

Shen Lan turned to look at Tan Wei. “Who is her teacher?”
