Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 44


Chapter 44: Treason (Part 1)

“Her teacher…”

Tan Wei didn’t quite dare to say.

Shen Lan saw her hesitation and made a bold guess. “It can’t be Hua Changge, can it? When did she take on a disciple?”

That nine-coin Celestial Master had been in seclusion for many years, and there was no news of her. Shen Lan then guessed among the three eight-coin Celestial Masters.

Tan Wei had no reaction.

“Then is it Zhu Yun?”

“Wei Qingyun?”

Seeing that Tan Wei still had no reaction, Shen Lan sighed. “If it’s really that senior, it’s only right that she would teach a student like Sang Jing.”

Tan Wei glanced at her. Which senior? That one can’t be called a senior, can she? She’s clearly the founder.

Chu Minghua knew who Shen Lan was talking about and shook her head. “It can’t be her. She’s been preparing to advance to a ten-coin Celestial Master these past few years and has no energy to take on a disciple.”

Shen Lan threw up her hands. “Then there’s no one else. Or is it some reclusive senior expert?”

“Tan Wei, hurry up and say it,” Shen Lan said, a little impatient with guessing.

Fan Yin also looked at Tan Wei, full of curiosity.

Tan Wei crossed her arms and blurted out, “I don’t know either.”

Shen Lan: “…”

After guessing for so long, she comes up with this.

The next second, Shen Lan reacted. “Hey, wait. Aren’t you in charge of this assessment? Don’t you have her registration form? Tan Wei, Vice-Chairman Tan, why are you being so secretive?”

Tan Wei: “…”

Chu Minghua: “Her teacher’s name, is it not appropriate to say?”

Tan Wei had no choice. She pointed at the livestreaming phone. “Let’s watch first. I’ll tell you after the assessment is over.”

Shen Lan pouted. “So mysterious. You’re just afraid I’ll snatch her from you.”

Tan Wei thought to herself, And you know it. You’ve snatched so many good prospects. Your greed knows no bounds.

“Ah!” Fan Yin cried out, not daring to look at the screen.

Just now, after the female ghost was controlled by the talisman Sang Jing had thrown, the child who had been standing on the shore suddenly appeared at Sang Jing’s side. Her face was swollen and seeping water, and her mouth was full of crushed stones. Dirty water and blood mixed together and trickled down.

“Sister! Mama! They didn’t hurt Xixi,” Li Chengxi shouted anxiously.

But Li Buyan’s hand could not be retracted.

Sang Jing was controlling the talisman with one hand. The moment she saw the little ghost, she released the puppet thread on Xie Yu’s end. She had originally planned to use the puppet thread to trap the little ghost, but she hadn’t expected that the moment the puppet thread was released, Xie Yu would rush up.

Xie Yu grabbed the little ghost’s hand, followed her force, and struck at Sang Jing. Just as it was about to hit Sang Jing’s waist, she cleverly changed direction, directly dispelling the little ghost’s ghostly energy. She led her in a circle and then pushed her out.

A move of borrowing force to strike.

Xie Yu was still holding the phone, and the livestream clearly recorded the first-person perspective of the encounter with the little ghost just now.

【Wing, Wing Chun!??】

【That’s clearly Tai Chi.】

【How did the Little Assistant’s wrist turn just now? So beautiful. How did she catch it so gently?】

【This child is too scary. Why is her whole body seeping water? It feels like… it’s all rotten.】

【Didn’t that child just say that her mother and sister were looking for her sister? Her mother was in the pond just now, and her sister was on the shore. What do you think… they were looking for?】

【Don’t say it. I’m already starting to get scared.】

【This family all died so tragically. It’s so pitiful.】

【The streamer is so cool. How did that talisman fly out? And it’s so shiny and golden. So pretty.】

【Is this something I can really see? Or have the requirements for livestreams been lowered? How can this kind of image be shown without being banned?】

【Could it be that the streamer has special privileges?】

【It has been banned before, it has been banned before. In the livestream a few days ago, the Little Assistant put her hand into a ghost’s stomach and stirred it, and it was banned.】

【????】

Li Buyan looked at her mother, who was still trapped. She glared at Sang Jing, then at Li Chengxi, who was standing beside Sang Jing. Her mouth was stuffed with crushed stones, and she couldn’t speak, only constantly tilting her head to get Li Chengxi to come over.

Li Chengxi glanced at Sang Jing and said in a low voice, “Sister, can you let my mother go? They didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Sang Jing had no reaction. She saw Li Chengxi’s mouth moving and knew she was talking to her, but she couldn’t hear now.

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

Li Chengxi tilted her head in confusion. Sang Jing pointed to her ear and then waved her hand.

“You can’t hear? What’s wrong with your ear?” Xie Yu turned her head and subconsciously raised her hand to brush aside the hair by Sang Jing’s ear. Only then did she see that her ear was bleeding, and it had soaked the clothes on her shoulder.

A cold breath fell on her earlobe. Sang Jing shivered a little, as if she had been touched by ice, then couldn’t help but turn her head to avoid her hand.

Li Chengxi was too short to see what was wrong with Sang Jing’s ear. She could only point in her mother’s direction to indicate.

Sang Jing understood. She withdrew the five talismans around the female ghost. Li Chengxi immediately ran over and threw herself into the female ghost’s arms.

Then Li Buyan also walked over. The female ghost hugged her two daughters and stared at Sang Jing and Xie Yu fiercely. “Who are you!? What do you want!?”

Sang Jing raised her flashlight and shone it on the female ghost’s mouth. She squinted her eyes to see what she was saying.

“What did you say? I can’t see clearly.”

The female ghost: “…”

【What’s wrong with the streamer? Why can’t she suddenly hear?】

【This scene is a bit inexplicably funny. What’s going on?】

【Was it the shout from the little ghost just now? A ghost’s cry seems to be quite piercing.】

【Assistant Xiao Xie! Quick, quick, quick! Lean into Sang Sang’s ear and tell her!】

【Huh? The streamer is deaf? Can she get better later?】

A single bullet comment slowly floated up amidst a pile of them—

【Sang Jing: She’s asking who we are and what we’re here for.】

Xie Yu finished typing and showed the bullet comment to Sang Jing. Sang Jing gave her a satisfied look.

Finally, she’s acting like an assistant.

Sang Jing’s voice was a little louder than usual. “We heard that this place is a ‘Ghost Village’ and were curious, so we came to see.”

Li Zimei looked at them with a strange expression and indeed saw the phone that the ghost had been holding up.

“There’s nothing to film here. Leave quickly!”

With that, a yin wind suddenly blew, bringing a gust of dust, which was choking and blinding.

Li Zimei wanted to scare them away as she had before, but she had forgotten that Sang Jing had already seen their appearances and had no reaction. She should be followed by a ghost and was not afraid of these things at all.

Seeing that Sang Jing didn’t move, Li Zimei hugged her children tightly. She had a gut feeling that this person was not just here to look around out of curiosity.

“Go! Leave quickly!”

Blood began to seep from Li Zimei’s eyes. She gently patted Li Buyan and Li Chengxi. The two children understood her meaning and also became fierce, wanting to force them to leave.

Sang Jing looked at their appearances and knew what they were saying without Xie Yu having to write it for her.

“Are you looking for this child’s body? I can help you.”

Li Zimei was stunned for a moment, then the ghostly energy on her body rolled up like crazy. She was enraged by this sentence. She pushed her two children behind her, and her figure flickered like a ghost.

Sang Jing wanted to trap her as she had just now, but this ghost’s resentment, which had accumulated over the years, was extremely heavy. The talisman was instantly shattered by the ghostly energy.

“Why did you harm my children? Why did you touch them? Why!???” Li Zimei’s eyes were blood-red, and she could no longer distinguish who she was facing. She wanted to tear apart and eat the flesh and drink the blood of anyone who had any ideas about her children.

“I earned money and repaired the road for the village. You are ungrateful and even laid a hand on my family. You are the ones who should die! You all should die!”

Li Zimei’s attack was ruthless, as if she were going to fight Sang Jing to the death.

Li Chengxi, watching from behind, wanted to go forward and persuade her, but Li Buyan held her tightly and wouldn’t let her speak.

Xie Yu had originally wanted to help Sang Jing. After all, they were both ghosts, and it was not certain who would win or lose.

Before she could move, a puppet thread had already flown over and tied her tightly to a tree behind her.

【Did she just teleport???】

【I also experienced a flash in a game.】

【What’s going on? Sang Sang was clearly trying to help. Why did this female… ghost suddenly get angry?】

【There’s something fishy.】

【Sang Sang, can, can you beat her?】

【What does the female ghost’s words mean? Was her family actually murdered?】

【I feel it too! Otherwise, how could there be so much resentment!】

“So fierce,” Shen Lan said, her gaze not on the screen, but directly at the real village. The sky above the village was dark and cloudy, and in the distance, the yin energy was heavy and the baleful energy was deep.

“She tied up her ghost with a puppet thread, and the talisman is useless. Is she going to set up a formation now? In such a tight situation, can she set up a formation? And I don’t think she has any intention of fighting that ghost head-on. She seems to be trying to subdue her,” Shen Lan said, turning to the few people beside her. “Should we go over there now? Don’t let anything really happen. Then we’ll be disgraced. It won’t be good for the Xuanmen if word gets out.”

She had come for the assessment in good faith. If something happened while three chairmen and a vice-chairman were watching, the other chairmen would laugh their heads off.

Chu Minghua was not so anxious. “Let’s watch a little longer. She still has a backup plan. Didn’t Vice-Chairman Tan say she has the strength of a seven-coin Celestial Master? I’d like to see what she can do.”

That small gourd on her was not simple.

Shen Lan secretly touched Fan Yin. Seeing her watching happily, she asked, “Did you do a divination?”

Fan Yin smiled shyly and nodded.

Shen Lan winked at her. “Tell me what’s going on, so I don’t have to worry.”

Fan Yin leaned over. “I didn’t do a divination on Sang Sang. I did one on you.”

“On me?” Shen Lan was puzzled. “Why on me?”

“The sun’s shadow moves slowly, time is leisurely. All matters are without worry, the heart is at ease. The hexagram shows leisure, the meaning is like a wave.”

“What does that mean?”

“You’re very free tonight.”

Shen Lan looked at Fan Yin and understood why she had done a divination on her.

She was very free tonight, so she wouldn’t have to make a move. Sang Jing could solve the problem in the village.

“But…” Fan Yin said again, “There might be a big emotional fluctuation. You should pay attention to your heart.”

Shen Lan smiled and pinched Fan Yin’s cheek. “What big storms has your sister not seen? My mentality is stable.”

Fan Yin adjusted her glasses and continued to watch the livestream.

The livestream image was not very clear. It was as if a layer of black mist was covering the camera, but these were nothing in the eyes of a Celestial Master.

Fan Yin saw Sang Jing take out a small gourd, and black mist floated out of the gourd’s mouth.

It was that evil spirit!

“Isn’t that the evil spirit!? Why did Sang Sang release it?”

Tan Wei explained from the side, “In the snake tomb, Sang Jing dotted its eyes to give it life. Now this evil spirit is considered hers.”

Shen Lan slowly turned to look at her. “Raising a ghost, a puppet thread, dotting the eyes to give life. You’re saying she’s taking the Celestial Master’s test???”

With a full set of Ghost Master skills, but she’s taking the Celestial Master’s test? Isn’t that a bit too ridiculous? Does her teacher know?

Tan Wei: “…Mm.”

Not only that, her teacher was the founder of the Ghost Dao.

Doesn’t this count as treason?

A new streamer recently arrived on White Whale Live. She was mysterious and strange, and some said you could see unclean things in her livestream room. Many people scoffed at this, but human curiosity is a powerful thing; the more people said it, the more others wanted to go and see what was happening.

There weren't many people in the livestream room. At the very top, the title read: Supernatural Livestream, Believe in Science.

The contradictory title made people want to leave the moment they saw it, but in the next second, someone noticed a vicious ghost perched on the streamer's shoulder!

The ghost's appearance was bloody and incorporeal—a look that special effects couldn't possibly replicate.

For the first time, the bullet comments refreshed at lightning speed, the screen filled with question marks.

【?】

【??】

【???】

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the new streamer unceremoniously yanked the vicious ghost off her shoulder, stuffed it into a gourd bottle, and didn't forget to remind everyone: "Believe in science. There are no ghosts in this world."

Bullet Comments: ...If there are no ghosts, what did you just grab?

For the next livestream after she bare-handedly captured a vicious ghost, the number of viewers multiplied by more than tenfold, most of them having caught wind of the rumors and come to see a ghost.

【What ghost? The streamer is just staging it all. Seen this a million times, I'm out.】

【How'd you do the special effects, streamer? Teach me (smirking dog emoji).】

【This is definitely just manufactured hype to farm views. Can't believe there are still suckers who fall for it hahaha.】

...

Sang Jing ignored the mockery in the bullet comments, smiling as she pulled the 'person' beside her toward the camera. "Hello everyone, I'm your streamer, Sang Jing. First, let me introduce you. This is my newly hired little assistant, Xiao Xie."

Xiao Xie was expressionless, its eyes staring at the screen, filled with resentment. It spoke without a trace of emotion: "I am the assistant."

The streamer behind it was clearly dissatisfied with its work attitude and let out a soft 'tsk'.

The assistant's expression visibly stiffened. It then twitched the corners of its mouth into a 'friendly' smile and added, "Hello, everyone."

The bullet comments instantly exploded. Someone recognized this Assistant Xiao Xie—it was clearly the vicious ghost the streamer had captured in the little gourd that night!

Soon, the regular viewers who frequented Sang Jing's livestream room discovered that not only did the streamer take on a vicious ghost as an assistant, but she also guided them through the process of reincarnation, treated the eighteen levels of hell like a tourist attraction...

If anyone asked, it was all just staged. In modern society, one must believe in science.

"..."

This streamer is too well-connected.
