chapter 25
“She seduced me. She was acting so lewd, even making me drink brown sugar water.” The man once again shocked everyone with his words.
Zhang Na looked up in disbelief. How could someone be so shameless?
“I didn’t…”
“Alright, Nana, that’s enough. I know, you’re just too jealous of your sister. From now on, I’ll pretend this never happened.”
The man gazed greedily at Zhang Na’s aggrieved look. She seemed even more attractive now, and he couldn’t help but press his legs together to avoid embarrassing himself.
But on his face, he still maintained the semblance of a refined gentleman.
[“Seriously, the classic excuse: ‘all men make mistakes.'”]
[“You call this a mistake all men make? You’re just lusting after her. Ugh, so low.”]
[“Streamer, I really can’t stand this jerk pretending anymore. Teach him a lesson for us!”]
Hearing these typical scumbag lines, the viewers in the Live Streaming Room instantly erupted in anger.
Even Li Yi unconsciously furrowed his brow, a nameless anger rising in his heart.
When it comes to beautiful women, just their presence can trigger a man’s protective instinct, especially among single men.
After all, no one can be sure if she might be his future wife.
Thinking like this, the immersion hit even harder, and Li Yi wished he could drag the man out of the projection and give him what he deserved.
Just then, however, a comment flashed by in the Live Streaming Room that made Li Yi almost laugh out loud.
[“You’re all empathizing with the victim, so you’re angry; I’m empathizing with the man instead-such immersion!”]
This sudden reversal nearly made Li Yi burst out laughing.
But the Live Streaming Room’s comments were otherwise very unified-everyone’s sense of right and wrong was clear.
[“Empathize with your own kind. Don’t joke around at times like this.”]
[“Hope your wife has some trouble.”]
The chat flooded with messages.
Li Yi, however, said sternly, “The internet is not a lawless place. Surf responsibly, and always be careful with your words and actions.”
The focus returned to the conversation among the four.
After the shameless man said those shocking scumbag lines, Zhang Na finally couldn’t hold back her grievance and began to sob.
[“Sob, my wife, my Zhang Na, my precious girl.”]
[“Sob, my future wife. This scumbag, I wish I could teach him a lesson.”]
[“Is that really necessary? Such strong immersion?”]
[“You don’t understand how tough it is for bachelors who have been single for years to find someone. And yet there are disgusting guys like this in the world.”]
As Zhang Na started crying, viewers in the Live Streaming Room also broke into tears.
“What are you crying for, you insolent woman!”
At this moment, Zhang Jing stood up, furious that her own sister had seduced her man.
Her older sister, who had never been as good as her, had somehow attracted the man she loved.
She could certainly hear the guilt in the man’s voice, but she refused to admit that her own charm was actually less than her sister’s, the sister everyone looked down on.
“You really disgust me. Why don’t you just disappear?”
Zhang Jing spoke venomously to Zhang Na.
“No, it’s not my fault at all. I’m calling the police. I want to clear my name.”
Zhang Na stubbornly bit her lip and stood up from her seat, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her gaze was especially determined.
What no one expected was that, at this moment, Zhang’s Father stepped in-not towards the man who was at fault, but towards the aggrieved Zhang Na.
“Enough. Haven’t you embarrassed us enough? Family scandals should not be made public. You’re an adult now-don’t you even understand this much?”
“I’ve worked so hard to raise you for over 0 years, and how did I end up with such a useless waste like you?”
Zhang’s Father cursed furiously, pointing directly at Zhang Na, making her unable to lift her head.
“Damn it, I can’t hold back anymore.”
Li Yi, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but curse, rolling up his sleeves, ready to punch that ugly face of Zhang’s Father-a man who twisted the facts and avoided the real issues, someone completely unfit to be a father.
He threw a punch, but his fist passed straight through Zhang’s Father’s phantom.
Only then did he realize that what was before him was something that had happened 0 years ago. This was just a memory, a mere phantom, and he couldn’t change anything.
He immediately felt a bit dejected and stood quietly to the side.
However, his gaze toward Zhang’s Father and that man was filled with nameless fury. He swore that once he found the Ghosts of those two, he would make them understand what it meant for justice to finally descend upon their heads.
Although Li Yi couldn’t change the trajectory of this event,
he still couldn’t help but vent his anger at the three of them.
He stood in front of Zhang Na, retorting every sentence, spitting after every curse.
He was acting just like a protective parent.
“You, an idiot, are the Hospital Director? You think you deserve to be called a director? In your last life, were you the offspring of a sow and a mongrel dog? How did you end up like this?”
“And you, you pale-faced bastard, just because you’ve got a tiny enoki mushroom, you think you’re something special, poking people everywhere. Aren’t you ashamed? If I had your size, I’d go straight to the palace and thread needles for the empresses.”
“Don’t get cocky. When I get out and find your graves, I’m telling you, none of you will escape the fate of having a rave on your tombstones.”
Faced with her sister’s suspicion, her father’s lack of understanding, and the man’s justified persecution, Zhang Na’s psychological defenses completely collapsed.
She squatted on the ground, clutching her head, silent, tears streaming endlessly from the corners of her eyes. At that time, there was no one like Li Yi to speak up for her.
She felt as if the whole world had turned against her.
This pitiful sight made the viewers in the Live Streaming Room feel even more heartbroken.
[“How can there be such disgusting people in the world?”]
[“The Streamer cursed them well! Sometimes, people are scarier than ghosts.”]
The scene shifted to a tall building. Zhang Na, dressed in red, leapt from the rooftop. Before her death, she cast a venomous glance toward the hospital.
She would return.
Everyone knew what happened next: the Fierce Ghost returned, slaughtering everyone in the hospital, turning them all into her Ghost Servants, doomed to wander forever in the agony of their final moments.
As for this outcome, Li Yi could only say one thing: they deserved to die.
Of course, this wasn’t directed at the victim Zhang Na, but at the family members who persecuted her.
But every grievance has its source. What about the other people in the hospital, and the passersby who died over the years? What did they do wrong?
The scene ended, and Li Yi returned to the previous room. After reviewing this part of the memory, he had a general understanding of Zhang Na’s cause of death, but some details were still very unclear.
For example, why did Zhang Na harm innocent passersby besides the Hospital Director?
And why did she linger in the human world for so long, unwilling to leave? These were all mysteries he needed to investigate himself.
“Isn’t it said that after using the Fierce Ghost Crystal, you can gain some of the Fierce Ghost’s abilities?”
Suddenly, Li Yi realized something. He looked down and saw his body briefly enter a state of Phantomization, just like the spirit form of a Fierce Ghost-truly miraculous.
Was this the ability he had gained?
Li Yi’s face lit up with joy.
