Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 56


Chapter 56: 3199 (Part 1)

“This one, this one, this one…”

“I like them all.”

Sang Jing: “…”

Why don’t you just buy the whole mall?

Oh, Xie Yu couldn’t buy it. She had no money. She still had to pay for her.

“Miss, all the clothes in our store are exclusively designed. Is there anything you like? You can try it on.”

“Mm, I’ll take a look first,” Sang Jing had just turned around when her earlobe was pulled. The force was not strong, more like a gentle pinch.

“That lake blue one. I want to try that one,” Xie Yu said with great interest. When they went out shopping today, the small paper effigy was not convenient for conversation, so Sang Jing had found an ear cuff and had Xie Yu attach herself to it.

The ear cuff was silver-white, and the long, thin silver strip just hung down to her shoulder and neck.

If Sang Jing had known that Xie Yu always liked to touch her ear when she spoke, she would never have chosen an ear cuff.

Sang Jing took the lake blue dress into the fitting room. Xie Yu immediately came down from the ear cuff. She looked up, and Sang Jing had already turned her back. There was a mirror in the fitting room, and Sang Jing had even closed her eyes, a complete gentleman.

Xie Yu looked at Sang Jing in the mirror and inexplicably felt that she was a little cute at this moment.

She also wanted to poke her dimples a little.

Xie Yu looked at Sang Jing for a long time without changing her clothes. Sang Jing waited patiently, without any impatience.

“Alright.”

Suddenly, she felt a coolness on her face, as if she had been lightly poked by a finger. Sang Jing opened her eyes, and Xie Yu was standing in front of her, slightly bent over and looking at her.

The lake blue long dress was sleeveless and had no extra design. There was just a two-finger-wide ribbon at the neckline, which added a touch of lightness and elegance. It was simple and refined.

Xie Yu’s long hair was light brown and slightly curly. The ends of her hair hung down and swayed gently. In this lake blue dress, it was like seaweed growing freely and moving with the waves.

“Is it pretty?” Xie Yu asked with a light smile.

Sang Jing blinked her eyes. In the livestreams before, the bullet comments always said that Assistant Xiao Xie was a cold-faced beauty. But now, she didn’t know if it was because of this dress or her smile, but a kind of casual gentleness had diluted the coldness of her sharp features. So…

“It’s pretty.”

Really pretty.

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment.

She had thought that this reserved person would say something like “not bad” or “alright.” She hadn’t expected her to say “pretty” so directly.

“Is the dress pretty or am I pretty?” Xie Yu moved a little closer and smelled the scent of white pear mixed with the scent of incense, slightly sweet with a hint of bitterness.

Sang Jing took a step back, leaned against the wall of the fitting room, and crossed her arms, about to speak with a smile.

Xie Yu straightened up and reached out to stop her. “Forget it. You’d better not speak. I don’t want to hear it.”

Sang Jing: “…”

She hadn’t said anything yet, but Xie Yu really knew herself well.

Then she tried on a few more clothes. As Xie Yu had thought, Sang Jing’s comments were either “alright” or “not bad.”

Four long and short dresses, three seasonal outfits, and two sets of shirts and suits.

Sang Jing didn’t quite understand why Xie Yu wanted to buy a suit. The reason Xie Yu gave was for work, which almost made Sang Jing laugh.

Work? What work did she do?

In total, the clothes and accessories in Sang Jing’s hands were worth sixty to seventy thousand. And she had to burn them all when she got back.

The ear cuff swayed lightly, brushing against her neck and bringing a coolness.

Xie Yu was being mischievous again.

Xie Yu: “Am I spending a lot of money?”

Sang Jing didn’t feel much. “It’s alright.”

After all, the things in their profession were quite expensive. A single magical artifact could cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. These clothes were nothing.

“When I leave, how about I leave all my money to you?” Xie Yu said, as if she were arranging her affairs.

Sang Jing’s hands were full, and she had no time to deal with her unrestrained behavior on her ear. “You probably haven’t even finished college at your age. You don’t even have a job. Where would you get the money?”

Xie Yu muttered in a low voice, “I just have it.”

After walking two steps, her ear was suddenly pinched.

Sang Jing knew that Xie Yu wanted to buy something else.

“Reserved person, I want a phone,” Xie Yu said, pinching Sang Jing’s earlobe and shaking it.

Sang Jing was helpless. She turned and went to the phone store. Without looking much, she directly bought the latest model.

Fengdu had developed quickly in recent years and had already caught up with the times. The underworld’s network had also been upgraded to 5G and was not so laggy anymore. A phone was indispensable for both humans and ghosts. The waiting time for reincarnation was long, so there had to be something to kill time.

“Is there anything else you want to buy?”

“No.”

“Then let’s go back.”

“Go back? So soon?”

“We’re done shopping. Shouldn’t we go back?”

“Shopping is not just about buying things. You can eat, drink, and play. Haven’t you ever been shopping?”

Sang Jing: “…”

Who was it that said they had never been shopping with anyone before?

Afraid that Xie Yu would make a fuss about getting into her bed at night, Sang Jing called for a courier to send the things in her hands back first. Bei Shan and Cui Wangshu hadn’t left yet, so she could have Cui Wangshu receive them first.

After the Xuanmen assessment, there were obviously fewer people in Xianling, but there were still many people who were interested in this area. Xianling was originally a popular tourist city, and the commercial street was lively all year round.

But Sang Jing had never thought that one day she would be followed and secretly photographed.

If it were a ghost following her, she would have found out very quickly. But the other party was a person, and was mixed in with the crowd.

Thanks to Xie Yu’s gluttony, Sang Jing had eaten all kinds of snacks in one day—hot, cold, sweet, spicy, salty, bitter, and sour…

There were also all kinds of strange and interesting little things.

From morning until dark, Sang Jing had taken Xie Yu and had almost wandered around the entire area.

After it got dark, Xie Yu came down from the ear cuff and walked beside Sang Jing, very naturally linking her arm with hers.

Sang Jing struggled a little, and Xie Yu held on even tighter.

Sang Jing turned to look at her. “Xie Yu, don’t go too far. My tolerance is limited.”

Xie Yu also looked at her and pointed innocently at the front. “Where am I going too far? Little sisters always hold hands when they go shopping. Look over there, and that pair. I’m not even holding your hand. Is linking arms not okay? Oh… I thought we were friends. So you were just pretending to be so happy all day. If you’re not happy, just say so. I won’t force you to play with me. Alas, to think I died so young, and I don’t even know how I died. And someone even told me not to leave with any regrets. It turns out it was all a lie…”

“…”

Seeing the two girls in front of them holding hands and talking and laughing, Sang Jing took a deep breath and took the initiative to hold Xie Yu’s hand, tightly! She squeezed it!

Then she smiled and asked her, “Is this okay?”

Xie Yu endured the pain and nodded. “It’s okay.”

“Then can you shut up?”

“Hiss… I can.”

The last item was the cinema. Xie Yu followed behind Sang Jing, her back not even straight.

How can this person’s grip be so strong…

Xie Yu tried hard to pull her hand out. When Sang Jing noticed, she squeezed even tighter and pulled her to her side. She looked at Xie Yu, who was a head shorter than her, and smiled. “Good friends should hold hands.”

Xie Yu: “…”

I shouldn’t have said so much. The reserved person’s heart is so black.

The movie was chosen by Xie Yu, a youth romance animated film. Row 5, seats 20 and 21. The seats were not that good, a bit to the side.

After sitting down, Sang Jing still hadn’t let go. Xie Yu moved her fingers with difficulty and changed their grip to intertwined fingers, then squeezed back.

Sang Jing turned to look at her and raised an eyebrow.

Getting bold, are you? You dare to provoke and fight back?

The person and the ghost squeezed against each other until the movie started.

The protagonist at the beginning of the movie was a little girl with two small braids, holding a lollipop in her hand. She ran out of her house and tilted her head to look at the new neighbors who had just moved in.

The neighbor’s little girl looked very quiet, carrying her schoolbag obediently. As the wind blew her hair, she turned her head and saw the protagonist.

There was an introduction for each character, their names, and the names of their voice actors.

The voice of that quiet little girl was, coincidentally, Encounter.

Sang Jing frowned, and the force in her hand unconsciously loosened.

“Do you really want to watch this movie?” Sang Jing leaned towards Xie Yu and said in a low voice.

Xie Yu knew that she had said this because she had seen Encounter. After spending this period of time together, she had never seen Sang Jing so obviously dislike a person, even saying she was hypocritical and fake on a livestream.

“Have you heard of Encounter before?” Xie Yu asked.

Sang Jing: “No.”

Before she had started livestreaming, the only function of her phone was for contacts.

“Actually, the previous Encounter was not bad. Her good reputation online was not fake,” Xie Yu said, pursing her lips and looking at the screen.

This was Encounter’s last voice acting work before she had disappeared for four months.

Sang Jing didn’t watch the movie. She felt that Xie Yu’s words were a little strange.

In the past, whenever Encounter was mentioned, Xie Yu would be so angry she would be on fire and could curse nonstop. But today, she was particularly calm. No…

Not today. She had been very quiet during the livestream last night. The bullet comments were so fierce, Xie Yu couldn’t have not seen them.

“What do you mean by the previous Encounter?”

Just as Sang Jing asked, Xie Yu’s other hand patted her and tilted her chin at the movie screen. “The movie is starting.”

There were other people beside them, so Sang Jing couldn’t keep talking. Her gaze turned to the movie.

It was a very fresh and healing movie. The two protagonists grew up together, from childhood friendship to the change of feelings of first love, the bitterness of a secret crush and the surprise and joy of learning of the other’s feelings. Encounter had voiced it very well. She had to admit that her professional ability was very strong.

But as a person, not so much.

After the movie ended, Sang Jing pulled her hand back and moved her fingers, which had been still for a long time.

“Click—”

A faint camera shutter sound.

At the same time, on the White Whale Live forum—

#3199#

【Although there is no Assistant Xiao Xie in the photos the OP took, her shadow is everywhere! Especially that hand! Who walks with their hand like that? The veins and bones are all protruding from the force. They must be holding hands!】

【Oh my, a couple watching a movie together, and it’s a romance movie~】

【From the last photo to the end of the movie, that must have been three hours, right? They held hands for three hours!? Oh my, so lovey-dovey.】

【Hehehehehehehehe, 3199, Sang Sang’s hand is on top. 31 is real.】

【Am I the only one who has found the blind spot? The protagonist of this movie is voiced by Encounter. So strange. The livestream was so noisy, and they still went to watch a movie voiced by Encounter.】

【Hmm… I’ve watched this movie. Encounter’s voice acting is really good. Putting her character aside for a moment, her voice acting is really strong.】

【Don’t go off-topic, 3199.】

【That’s right, where’s the OP! I want to see the follow-up!】

【I’m sorry everyone, I was discovered. I’ve deleted the post.】

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Sang Sang, I, I’m really a pervert. Ah, no, I’m really not a pervert stalking you. I like you a lot. I’ll never secretly take pictures again!” The blushing girl kept bowing and apologizing to Sang Jing.

Sang Jing looked at the photos on her phone. They had almost recorded everything she had done that day. The girl’s photography skills were very good. Many times, she was smiling at the empty air beside her, a happy smile.

“I’ll delete all these photos!”

“Hey, don’t delete them. They’re so pretty,” Xie Yu said, leaning beside Sang Jing and also looking. She quickly spoke up to stop her.

The girl was startled when she suddenly heard Xie Yu’s voice.

“Sang Jing, I want these photos, as a souvenir,” Xie Yu said, linking her arm with Sang Jing’s again.

Sang Jing’s brow twitched. She thought of Xie Yu’s basket of pitiful words.

She returned the phone to the girl, then showed her QR code. “Can you send me a copy of the photos?”

The girl was so excited she nodded repeatedly. “Of course, I can!”

She was going to have Sang Sang’s contact information!

After adding her as a friend, Sang Jing reminded the girl not to casually follow and take pictures in the future, not just of her, but of others as well.

The girl had actually just started shipping 31. Who knew that she would run into Sang Jing shopping today, and she was even suspected (confirmed) to be with Assistant Xiao Xie.

She was so excited, so overwhelmed with emotion. Then she had posted on the forum, and then someone had urged her to post the photos. She had gotten carried away… and had followed them for a day.

And had eaten sugar for a day.

3199.

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.
