Chapter 273 - 274: Apology
The girl lifted her head, her face full of resentment.
"Aren’t you just some internet celebrity? What’s there to be so smug about?!"
"I only came to you because I like you! Why are you giving me this attitude? It’s not like I did it on purpose! I didn’t want her to die either!"
"But she’s dead now! What can I do about it? You can’t seriously expect me to pay for it with my own life, can you?!"
[Ugh, this is making my hands itch. I really want to reach through the screen and give her a good slap.]
[Are all young girls these days so brazenly self-righteous when they do something wrong?]
[Sigh, if that were my daughter, I’d have given her a beating long ago.]
Looking at her foolish and self-righteous face, Su Nian took a disdainful bite of her peach.
"All right, go home. She will come for you tonight."
Upon hearing this, the mother, who had been silent all this time, turned pale with fright.
She tried to grab Su Nian’s sleeve, but Su Nian dodged away.
She stood there, wiping away tears. "No, Streamer! You can’t do this! She’s just a child! Please, help her!"
Seeing that Su Nian remained unmoved, the mother nearly cried herself into a dead faint.
She slid right off her chair and knelt on the floor.
"Master, please help her! I’m begging you! Money is no object!"
[I really despise this kind of behavior. You’re scared now, but did you ever think about the girl when she was being bullied?]
[It’s irresponsible parents like this that raise such spoiled brats.]
[Yeah, and she said the other girl stank. But no matter what, that’s no reason to bully someone.]
Su Nian stood tall, not saying a word, but her gaze filled with disgust whenever it landed on the girl.
Then, she saw the dark shadow standing behind the girl and finally gave a nod.
That single nod instantly made the girl’s mother light up with joy. She practically leaped up from the floor.
She quickly grabbed Su Nian’s payment QR code and transferred two thousand yuan to her.
The girl tilted her head, seemingly in disbelief that Su Nian would help her.
Su Nian swiped on her phone and casually gave her instructions.
"Get two roosters. Collect their blood and coat the soles of your shoes with it."
"And make sure they are a brand-new pair of shoes."
"If you hear the sound of shoes pattering in the middle of the night, that means she’s come for you. The moment you hear her third footstep—the third PATTER—you must stand up and apologize. If your apology is sincere, there’s a slim chance this can be resolved."
[Wow, the Streamer seems so professional.]
[I thought the Streamer only knew how to tear ghosts apart with her bare hands!]
[Maybe the Streamer tears people apart with her bare hands, too. She just hasn’t had a chance to show us.]
Su Nian had said all she was going to say and offered no more.
After all, if the other party didn’t forgive her, the outcome was obvious.
The girl’s mother seemed to want to ask more, but she quietly backed down when she met Su Nian’s gaze.
To be honest, Su Nian loathed fools like this—the kind who enjoyed school bullying—more than anything.
But Su Nian pitied the ghost. If the ghost continued her revenge, her own end would be a grim one.
It was better to let her thoroughly torment this idiot without taking a life. That way, after getting her revenge, she could reincarnate and move on in peace.
Seeing that Su Nian had said her piece and wasn’t looking up again, the girl’s mother understood.
She left with her daughter, showering Su Nian with thanks.
This time, Su Nian didn’t bother to read the girl’s fortune from her face.
She didn’t want to know the girl’s fate. In any case, it wasn’t going to be good.
Even if the ghost was willing to reconcile and spare her life,
she would definitely be terrified by the ghost a few times. If it didn’t scare her into a nervous breakdown, Su Nian would lose all respect for that ghost.
But if the ghost chose to dig in her heels, well, that was another matter entirely. They would all go to Hell together.
[Why did the Streamer teach her a method? She should’ve just let the ghost kill her.]
[I know, but... it’s still a human life. One young girl has already died. We should just let this one go.]
[Yeah, she probably knows she was wrong now. Don’t overthink it.]
[I think you’re all overthinking it. The Streamer is not that much of a bleeding heart. I bet she feels sorry for the girl who was bullied, not the bully.]
[Exactly! The Streamer said it before. If a ghost takes a human life, it’s very bad for its future reincarnation.]
Su Nian glanced at the comments on the screen but didn’t say anything. Instead, she reached out and tapped the bell on her desk.
Soon, a person completely wrapped up in clothing walked in.
He was covered from head to toe in black clothes, with a large, wide-brimmed black hat on his head.
His clothes were also black and loose-fitting, and his entire body looked extremely bloated.
A foul, fishy stench faintly emanated from him. Most bizarrely, even his feet were terribly swollen.
It was the kind of puffiness you’d see if a person had been bloated by water and then forced into clothes.
Su Nian frowned. She couldn’t sense any ghostly resentment from this person’s body, yet he was utterly strange.
Su Nian gestured toward a chair, inviting him to sit.
But the person just shook his head slightly and remained standing where he was.
Su Nian pointed to the payment QR code on the desk. The person finally reached out a hand to scan it.
It was only then that Su Nian noticed he was even wearing a pair of thick black gloves that covered his fingers.
This scene didn’t just surprise Su Nian; even the viewers in the livestream chat were shocked.
[I thought I’d already seen all kinds of weird people in the Streamer’s channel, but I never expected someone like this.]
[I’m just curious about one thing: isn’t he hot wearing all that?]
[Right? It’s almost 104 degrees here. I’m dying of heat every day; even a tank top can’t save me.]
[Just looking at him wrapped up in all those thick, black layers makes my skin crawl.]
[And did you guys notice? The layers he’s wearing are really thick. It looks like he’s wrapped in a comforter.]
[He can’t have a ghost strapped to his back, can he?]
Su Nian frowned at these speculations as well.
After the payment was received, the person in front of her still made no move.
Su Nian asked, a bit puzzled, "Aren’t you going to show your face? If you don’t, how can I read your fortune? Or would you rather just tell me what happened to you?"
There was another long silence. Su Nian’s frown deepened with impatience; she had always hated waiting for people.
"I... My problem is a bit serious. I’m a little worried... that I’ll scare you."
His voice was hoarse. It was only then that Su Nian could finally determine he was a man.
