Phi-Fic Chapter 78 Forced Seizure
Chapter 78 Forced Seizure
In the empty and quiet parking lot, a lively and cheerful rhythm suddenly came from an unknown corner.
The highly distinctive melody echoed wildly in the silent space, as if it wanted to ignite every inch of the air here.
Hearing this melody that was all too familiar, the mountain spirit's already somewhat heavy steps became even heavier.
Fortunately, the song guided him, preventing him from getting completely lost.
Having held my head high for twenty-five years, I suddenly feel like I can't hold it up anymore.
The mountain spirit kept its head bowed and hurried toward the direction from which the music was coming.
As he continued forward, the music grew louder and clearer, penetrating his ears more and more clearly.
"You are the most beautiful cloud in my heart; I'll fill my cup with fine wine to make you stay."
The catchy lyrics and melody seemed to be shattering his last shred of composure.
Finally, just around the corner, the mountain spirit saw the source of the music.
The singing continued, and he saw the slender figure standing by the car.
"Always singing ~the most dazzling ethnic style~ is the most beautiful posture in the whole sky!"
Just as the song reached its climax, Bai Li seemed to sense something, feeling a burning gaze fixed on her from behind. So she subconsciously turned her head around.
Although Bai Li already knew that Shan Gui was a northerner and had some vague image of him in her mind, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression when she actually saw an extremely tall figure approaching her.
"Mountain ghost?"
Bai Li raised her hand slightly and beckoned tentatively.
She had no idea what kind of turmoil was going through inside the seemingly very tall man standing in front of her.
The mountain spirit nervously tried to bury its head in the ground; its face beneath the mask was already flushed.
He had originally wanted to take off his mask and greet him properly, but he knew his expression was probably not good, so he gave up the idea. He just pretended to be calm and raised his hand to give a cool greeting when he got closer.
As they drew closer, Bai Li's face became clearer in their eyes.
Her skin was white and tender, as delicate as a flower, with a playful smile, sweet and gentle, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Oops.
The mountain spirit took a deep breath and felt his heart beating faster and faster than normal.
Have I ever been this nervous when meeting up with online friends in person before?
This isn't the first time he's met someone he met online; it shouldn't be like this.
When I first met my online music friends, we only had a meal together, but we became best buddies who could go to the bathhouse together.
I wasn't nervous at all!
"Singing as we go is the most carefree way to go~ If we're going to sing, we'll sing with the most joy!"
The car's speakers hadn't been turned off yet, which successfully pulled Shan Gui out of his daze, and he quickly looked away from the staring eyes.
Amitabha Buddha, thank you "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" for saving the day, thank you for the power of music.
Bai Li was also wondering to herself, was there something wrong with the mountain spirit? In the middle of summer, it was wrapped up so tightly and wearing a mask, was it because it was shy?
She remembered.
One of the character cards for the Mountain Ghost character states that he has "social arrogance" online but suffers from severe social anxiety in real life.
"On the internet, I strike hard; in reality, I'm meek and submissive."
I didn't expect Teacher Shan Gui to be so tall and big, but he has a strangely strong sense of stealth.
Bai Li wasn't as nervous as Shan Gui. She turned to Ah Hu and told him to turn off the car's speakerphone. Then she called to her future employee to get in the car: "Get in, what are you standing there for?"
The parking lot is indoors, so even during the day it's dimly lit.
The van's doors were electric, opening with a beeping alarm.
The mountain spirit looked at the car door that was open for him, and Bai Li, who was already sitting in the car and waving to him, as beautiful as a fairy.
A fierce internal struggle began within my mind.
The vehicles used for kidnapping seem to be this size.
But those all seem to be minivans, right?
Who would kidnap someone using a luxury nanny car worth millions?
Bai Li is someone who writes songs for herself, how could she be a bad person?
Come here.
With a determined heart, Teacher Shan Gui got into the car.
Once I got in the car, I saw a burly man sitting in the driver's seat. What was even more terrifying was that there was another one sitting behind me!
The electric car door was already shut with a "clattering" alarm, blocking the mountain spirit's escape route.
—Okay, now there's no escaping it.
Teacher Shan Gui closed his eyes with a look of resignation to his fate.
Depend on!
What kind of drama is this? A forced marriage and abduction?
I never imagined I'd be seduced by someone!
He had heard of a male singer in the industry who went to meet a top female fan in person, and she took a liking to him on the spot. He was then forced to become her son-in-law and lived a life of luxury, living in the Louvre and driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Because it was inconvenient for her to appear in public after marrying into a wealthy family, she disappeared from the internet.
Am I going to follow this path of no return too?
I was captivated by the approachable "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend"!
Is this also part of the Shirari play?
What did Bai Li see in him?
Who can save him?
If I had been told beforehand that the female online friend looked like this, I wouldn't have come.
Who can resist the temptation?
If I reject Bai Li, will I be able to escape from Shanghai unscathed?
But if I accept Bai Li, and the financial difference is too great, won't I be taken advantage of?
Bai Li had no idea what the mountain spirit, who was sitting upright and looking very serious, was thinking.
If Bai Li could hear the mountain spirit's thoughts, she would most likely teach the mountain spirit a lesson through her actions, in an extremely vicious way.
For example, just as the mountain spirit wanted, he could have Ah Hu cooperate with him to stage a scene of forceful seizure, thoroughly "playing with and manipulating" the mountain spirit before telling him the truth.
It will be really fun to see the mountain spirit's bewildered expression then.
It's his own fault for not trusting me, thinking so badly of me, and putting a bad label on me.
But Bai Li was unaware of this at the moment.
All she could hear was the constant ringing of favorability notifications in the background.
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability -30]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 30]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: +40]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 70]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability -5]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 65]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability +15]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 80]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: -15]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 65]
It's like he's having a seizure.
Bai Li was completely dumbfounded.
No, buddy, are you here to boost my sales figures?
Although this back-and-forth did accumulate a lot of goodwill points, one of which even reached 80 points, amazingly achieving the mission objective.
But it's scary!
What exactly is that Mountain Spirit thinking?
Bai Li silently called out to Xiao Hao in her mind to confirm: "Xiao Hao! The Mountain Spirit's favorability score is just 80 points, does that count?"
"That doesn't count," Xiao Hao rejected such speculative behavior. "You have to maintain a score of 80 or above!"
Well, that's a pity.
Bai Li stared at the mountain spirit, trying to figure out what it was thinking, but she couldn't.
But Bai Li was happy to see it happen, since goodwill points can be accumulated.
The favorability points that the Mountain Spirit just raised for me are at least 100, if not 200.
What a bumper harvest!
So Bai Li didn't interrupt the mountain spirit, letting him mused on whatever he was thinking.
The car smoothly drove onto the elevated road, heading towards the unknown future.
The car was completely silent.
Bai Li remained silent, and the mountain spirit naturally dared not speak either.
Gradually, the mountain spirit, with its optimistic and cheerful nature, had calmed down.
— To face death without fear.
Once you get on Bai Li's bus, you'll probably belong to Bai Li from now on.
Instead of struggling painfully, accept it, lie down and enjoy it.
He had already made up his mind; if Bai Li asked him later, he would accept it directly.
The favorability rating between Shirai and Yama-onna finally stopped.
However, it stopped at a rather subtle value—[79 points].
What do you mean?
What kind of strange creature is the Mountain Spirit?
I only met him once, so why did my favorability rating skyrocket to 79 points?
Bai Li realized that something was wrong. Although she was only one step away from completing the mission objective, this was too strange.
The mountain spirit is definitely thinking something strange!
It's time to stop his overthinking.
Bai Li cleared her throat and asked her question: "Mountain Spirit, are you willing...?"
Mountain Spirit: "I'm willing."
"...Come to my company?"
Bai Li: ...
Bai Li: ?
