Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 72

Chapter 72: Karmic Retribution (Part 2)

“What!?” Coke’s Mom looked at the second-floor room in surprise, then quickened her pace and walked to her son’s room. But the door was locked from the inside and couldn’t be opened.

Sang Jing looked at the door, which was tightly wrapped in the qi of death, and recited a short incantation. Her voice came from Coke’s Mom’s phone. The originally tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open by a strong force. The moment the door opened, Coke’s Mom felt a chill, and her chest was so tight she couldn’t breathe, as if a pair of cold hands were choking her neck.

She turned her head and coughed twice in disgust, then entered the room. The lights were not on, and the curtains were drawn, not letting in a single ray of light. The entire room was quiet and dead. Just looking at it was so oppressive that one wanted to escape. A hard-to-describe stench filled the darkness.

【I don’t dare to look.】

【I take back what I said before. Auntie, your son really has a problem! This room is obviously not right!】

【It’s also quite interesting. The son is all kinds of wrong, and she didn’t think of finding a master to take a look. As soon as the pet has a problem, she quickly finds the most authoritative Sang Sang to see, hahahahaha.】

【Otherwise, why would she be called Coke’s Mom?】

【Sang Sang’s words just now, did her son… die in the room?】

Coke’s Mom reached out and turned on the light. Seeing the person lying on the bed, she screamed, her hands and feet so weak she had to hold onto the door to stand steady.

The man on the bed was staring at the ceiling with wide eyes. His cheeks were deeply sunken and had dark spots. He was not covered by a blanket and was only wearing a pair of large shorts. He was as thin as a rail, and there was almost no flesh on his chest, only a layer of skin. One could even vaguely see something wriggling under the skin.

“How, how could this be?” Coke’s Mom said with a sob, not daring to get close at all.

The man on the bed heard the sound and slowly turned his head to look at the door. He weakly raised his hand and opened his mouth. “Mom, save, save me…”

Hearing her son’s words, Coke’s Mom quickly looked at the phone screen. “Streamer, you, you save my son. I can give you money, any amount.”

“I can’t save him,” Sang Jing said nonchalantly. “Karmic retribution has come. He can’t escape. He deserves it. You might as well ask him what he has done.”

Coke’s Mom’s eyes were red. She looked at the person on the bed in a daze. “Chengshu, you, you…”

She couldn’t ask. She slowly walked to the side of the bed and saw the notices scattered on it.

It was a notice of delayed graduation from Nancheng University, and also a detailed list of the subjects Feng Chengshu had failed. Almost from beginning to end, he had failed every single subject.

He had not graduated. He couldn’t graduate at all.

“What’s going on?” Coke’s Mom’s hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Feng Chengshu’s grades had always been very good. She had been very reassured and had never asked about these things.

The livestream camera was shaking. Someone saw the name on the notice of delayed graduation.

【Feng Chengshu! Isn’t he the provincial top scorer from a few years ago? He can also have a delayed graduation? And he failed so many subjects?】

【Oh! I remember! This person was very popular at that time. He got full marks in almost every subject, even the Chinese composition. He was terrifyingly strong. How is he now…】

【Friends, I found something. When Feng Chengshu was the provincial top scorer, not many people paid attention to other news. But there was a girl who missed Nancheng University by a few points and jumped off a building. Wasn’t that girl just now…】

【????? Wait a minute?】

【Can this also be connected???】

【It can’t be such a coincidence.】

【I don’t believe it. It’s too outrageous.】

Only before he died did Feng Chengshu regret it. His voice was almost inaudible, but the netizens in the livestreaming room heard it clearly.

He said, “My grades were all stolen. I know I was wrong. Save me. I don’t want to die.”

Before he could say a few more words, he suddenly began to vomit black blood, which was fishy and smelly. Coke’s Mom was so nauseous she dry-heaved.

In the black blood, long, black and red worms were wriggling. Some were even connected to Feng Chengshu’s mouth, constantly drilling into his mouth, wanting to eat his last bit of flesh and blood.

“Chengshu…” Coke’s Mom was so scared she didn’t dare to move.

Feng Chengshu’s features were ferocious, and black blood began to flow from his seven orifices. The worms also drilled out with the blood. His entire body was eaten empty by these worms.

The qi of death surrounded his body. Feng Chengshu’s eyes were wide open, and his pupils slowly dilated.

A ghost of nothingness detached itself from the body full of blood worms.  Even the soul was gnawed full of wormholes. Feng Chengshu looked at himself in a daze, then at the body on the bed and the woman standing on the side.

After realizing that he was already dead, Feng Chengshu directed his anger at his mother. Why didn’t she save him? Why did she watch him die?

Just as he reached out his hand, a chain flew out of thin air and directly passed through the two bones in his chest. Feng Chengshu was immediately suppressed by the ghostly energy and didn’t dare to move. It was the innate fear of a ghost towards a ghost emissary.

Sang Jing saw the female ghost beside the ghost emissary, and a hint of pity flashed in her eyes.

This shouldn’t have been her ending.

“The forehead’s official palace has horizontal lines and a dark color, meaning a poor academic and career fortune. The eyebrows are messy, sparse, and uneven, and the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is large, meaning emotional instability. The eyes are not clear, meaning a poor career. The lips are thick and wide, meaning not good with words. I really can’t imagine that all these are concentrated on one person, and he could still be the provincial top scorer. It’s a bit ridiculous. Just as he said himself, his grades were stolen. And the person whose grades he stole lost her life because of it. The karma of taking a human life will not have a good end. You deserve this. You should know what you died of, right?”

Sang Jing had also found the news from that year.

The provincial top scorer, with a full score, happily entered Nancheng University after a long and hard struggle.

Hard? Heh, what hardship did he have?

And under the overwhelming congratulatory news of that year, an inconspicuous report was squeezed in a corner—

A girl who had failed the college entrance exam was unwilling to repeat the year and jumped from the sixth floor.

But the truth was that the so-called provincial top scorer who had had a long and hard struggle had stolen someone else’s grades, gone to someone else’s school, and had even caused her to lose her life.

He had applied to the school before the results were out. Feng Chengshu had planned to do this from the very beginning.

“Is this a gu?” the ghost emissary who was holding the soul suddenly asked, nudging her colleague beside her. “Your old profession.”

“It’s a gu. To eat the worm eggs and not get rid of the gu, he’s stupid to death,” the ghost emissary colleague scoffed coldly. She was annoyed by Feng Chengshu and kicked him. Feng Chengshu stumbled and directly knelt down to the ghost beside him.

Facing the ghost emissary, Feng Chengshu dared not show his anger. He slowly looked up and saw the female ghost’s face in front of him. He was so scared he retreated several steps. “Pei, Pei Rong!”

Pei Rong squinted her eyes, gritting her teeth in hatred. “Feng, Cheng, Shu, we have no grudge against each other. Why did you harm me!”

After listening for a while, how could Pei Rong not know whose grades Feng Chengshu had stolen? It was hers! The provincial top scorer should have been hers!

She could have gotten into Nancheng University, but because of this petty person, Feng Chengshu, she had been regretting it for so long.

The ghost emissary saw her hatred grow. She raised her hand and pressed it on her shoulder. The restraint of the soul-reaping chain loosened a little.

Pei Rong was stunned for a moment, then she instantly flashed in front of Feng Chengshu. Her fists fell on him like rain, and the ghost’s strength, filled with hatred, was extremely great. Every hit made Feng Chengshu feel like his soul was about to be scattered. It was different from being beaten as a person. When the body was beaten, only that part hurt. When a ghost was beaten, the pain was connected to the entire soul.

“You’re violating the rules, aren’t you?”

“So what? They can’t catch me. What’s wrong with letting her vent a little? I want to add a couple of kicks later.”

“Did you forget that Sang Jing is livestreaming? Do you think the Big Boss is not watching?”

“…Tsk.”

After Pei Rong had beaten him for a few more minutes, she felt the chain on her being pulled and reluctantly withdrew her hand.

Coke’s Mom fell to the ground. She couldn’t see her son’s ghost, nor the ghost emissary and Pei Rong. But she had heard Sang Jing’s words and also knew that Feng Chengshu’s grades had been stolen from someone else through some abnormal means, and had even caused someone else’s death.

She had nothing to say. Just as the streamer had said, he deserved it. He deserved to die.

Coke from downstairs ran up. It seemed to be truly psychic. It circled around its mother twice, then rubbed its head against its mother’s face to wipe her tears.

After the ghost emissary had taken Pei Rong and Feng Chengshu away, Sang Jing also ended the link-up.

The two link-ups tonight could actually be connected. The bullet comment section was also in a heated discussion.

【This is too much of a coincidence!!!】

【He really deserves to die, he really deserves to die. I’m about to grind my teeth to pieces. If someone had stolen my provincial top scorer title, I would have wanted to tear them to pieces and feed them to the dogs. Oh, no, feeding them to the dogs would be disgusting. Just thinking about the way he died makes me sick.】

【If it weren’t for the fact that the streamer has a certificate and a red badge, I would really think that these two incidents tonight were a script. This is too… coincidental.】

【Coke’s Mom is now really just Coke’s mom.】

【Pets are good. Pets don’t do evil. I’m afraid that the damn thief’s karma will be implicated in Coke’s Mom.】

【Do you think the next link-up will also be connected? Maybe it’s also related to Nancheng University?】

【Nancheng University: Let me go. I’m already on the trending list.】

#StolenProvincialTopScorer#

#ProvincialTopScorerPeiRong#

#FengChengshuThief#

The three trending topics soared in popularity. There were also classmates of Pei Rong and Feng Chengshu who spoke up below. Their words were almost identical. Pei Rong’s studies were excellent, she was hardworking and serious, and she was good at everything from the zither and chess to calligraphy and painting. She was a perfect six-sided goddess.

As for Feng Chengshu, before he became the provincial top scorer, few people in the school knew him. After he got into Nancheng University, his grades were terrible. Among a group of top students, he was like a retard. He didn’t know anything he was asked and didn’t have the slightest bit of a provincial top scorer’s appearance. And in the Nancheng University student forum, there had long been people who questioned the authenticity of Feng Chengshu’s provincial top scorer title.

Following the three hashtags was—

#KarmicRetribution#

After watching, many people felt that this was not some feudal superstition. If you do evil, you will face retribution.

With the help of the trending topics, the number of viewers in the livestreaming room soared. Sang Jing looked at the screen. “That’s all for today’s livestream. See you next time.”

【??】

【?????】

【Three! Three!!! There were clearly three link-ups!!!】

【Sang Sang, you’re so popular now. You don’t care about our life and death anymore.】

【What? I just got here? The streamer is leaving with such a high popularity?】

【Sleeping alone, I’m used to it.】

【If you dare to leave, I’ll! I’ll write about Assistant Xiao Xie pinning you down!】

——Livestream has been closed——

“Why did you stop streaming?”

Xie Yu saw the last bullet comment, her hand itching to give it a like.

“A guest has come.”

“A guest? Where?”

“Look up.”

Xie Yu looked up. A black cloak was standing in front of the window.

“Ahhh!!!” Xie Yu screamed in fear, turned around, and sat directly in Sang Jing’s arms.

Sang Jing looked up at the black cloak. She was very sure that she was the one who had been following her during the day.

And she had seen this person in the video Bei Shan had sent before.

That Zhang Ji, who had made money from animal skins and had also been skinned in the end. Bei Shan had also gone to the scene.

Sang Jing hadn’t asked much about the Special Investigation Team’s investigation afterwards.

Xie Yu was nestled in her arms. Sang Jing looked at the “person” by the window in this strange posture—

“Lady Hei?”
