Chapter 170 If you want a gift, feed her first.
【ah? ? ? 】
【No, Si Xingran...you...huh?? ? ? ? 】
【Aaaaaaah, I knew it!】
[Great, this is stepmother literature! Stalin can get high marks again! [wink]]
A chilling wind was blowing in the air, and it was inside a haunted house filled with the stench of blood.
Si Xingran's sudden remark left everyone present completely stunned.
Lin Sui stood there dumbfounded, and for a moment thought that Si Xingran had been possessed by a ghost.
She was all set to deliver the line, "You demon, take this!"
But when she turned around, she saw Si Xingran, who was clearly more excited about seeing a ghost than seeing a relative, cowering behind her like a spoiled husband. She felt that it might be even more terrifying than being possessed by a ghost.
Lin Sui paused for a moment, then couldn't help but mimic the hard-of-hearing old man: "What mother?"
"Stepmother."
Lin Sui: "...Little what?"
"Stepmother."
Si Xingran called her "stepmother" repeatedly, her tone both affectionate and practiced.
He held Lin Sui's arm, rested his chin on her shoulder, and blinked his amber eyes: "Stepmother, I've already acknowledged you as my mother, so you'll definitely protect me every step of the way, right?"
Lin Sui's eyes were lifeless, and her whole body felt numb.
She wondered why this guy called out so readily; apparently, he was waiting for her here.
And why add "little" to "Mom"?
Is he really not afraid of being beaten to death?
Even if we take a step back and say something like that... Lin Sui asked sincerely, "Is there really no one in this world you care about?"
"Hmm? Someone you care about..."
Before Si Xingran could react, Tang Xi, who had been staring at him with a tense expression for a long time, suddenly rushed over like a cannonball and slammed her head into his stomach.
"Holy shit!" Si Xingran was caught off guard and immediately cursed, bending over in pain.
Tang Xi stood with her hands on her hips, blocking Lin Sui's way, and condemned, word by word, "Shameless!"
Si Xingran has now truly been dealt a severe blow by society.
I almost couldn't catch my breath.
He pointed tremblingly at Tang Xi, his hand shaking uncontrollably: "You you you you..."
"What did you say?" Li Ye grabbed his fingers, his expression cold. "Si Xingran, there are outsiders here. Don't make me hit you."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Si Xingran retorted, "You're jealous because I have a stepmother protecting me? If you're so capable, why don't you get one too?"
Hearing him keep calling her "little mother," Lu Xiang took a deep breath, unable to contain herself any longer, and asked Yu Cinian while clenching her fist, "Do you still think you should give in to him?"
"I can't let it go, just kill him." Yu Cinian dropped the pretense, his eyes revealing his desire to kill someone.
Despite incurring public wrath, Si Xingran remained unfazed and even became more enthusiastic in her performance: "Waaah~ Stepmother, they're bullying me, please save your son!"
He squeezed next to Lin Sui and turned into a whiny little monster, almost biting his handkerchief.
Lin Sui closed his eyes restrainedly: "I don't have a rebellious son like you. Bury him."
Si Xingran: "Waaah, stepmother, you don't love me..."
"Shut up!" Lu Xiang interrupted, her face dark. "If you dare say that again, I'll poison your muteness."
"What? Stepmother?" Si Xingran's eyes were cunning, but her tone was self-righteous. "Master Lin is younger than me, so what's wrong with calling him Stepmother?"
Lin Sui: "..." It makes so much sense that she can't refute it.
Yu Cinian narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You'd better be."
"No way, no way, you guys aren't thinking the wrong thing, are you?" Si Xingran seemed to realize something and covered her mouth in surprise.
Everyone, including Lin Sui, was startled.
Si Xingran shook his head and sighed, "The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. How could they possibly think of my pure mother-son relationship with Master Lin like that? It's so disgusting and disappointing."
Everyone: "..." dared not speak.
It seems like they really misunderstood after I said that.
But they definitely misunderstood.
After all, stepmother literature is really addictive.
But if I don't say it, I always feel like that's what he means.
This is the first time a group of villains who kill anyone who gets in their way have felt so frustrated.
Si Xingran suddenly felt completely refreshed.
Yeah.
That's a good sign that she recognized her mother.
Oh, right, it should be...
Stepmother~
This guy is incredibly flamboyant.
Lin Sui looked at Si Xingran, who was inexplicably swayed, and sighed with mixed feelings.
She couldn't bear to look and turned her face away, only to see Xu Haize's team all staring at them with their mouths agape, dumbfounded.
Tan Huizhen, in particular, looked shocked and stammered, "So, so you two are mother and son! I really can't believe it, you're so young..."
As she spoke, her eyes filled with envy: "Wow, how do you maintain your youthful appearance? It must cost a lot of money!"
Lin Sui: "..." My reputation has been damaged.
Lin Sui wanted to cover her face.
After this episode, they'll probably have to add another label to their reputation as perverts.
Epilepsy.
She nodded and gave a polite smile: "Yes, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. I've had a lot of cosmetic injections. You can try it too."
Yu Cinian and the others: "..." Oh no, she's already read the random reply.
[Hahahaha, I'm seriously going to die laughing in this live stream sooner or later]
The plot is getting increasingly out of control [doge emoji]
Lin Sui: I'm tired, let's destroy it [smile]
Stop being so abstract; even elephants feel pain.
At this moment, someone timidly raised their hand: "Um, could you please show a little respect to me, someone who's about to be scared to death?"
Lin Sui: "..." I've almost forgotten why they came here in the first place.
Lin Sui looked in the direction of the sound and saw An Yiming slumped down at the entrance of the master bedroom's ensuite bathroom, his handsome face pale.
Clearly, the scream just now came from him.
His girlfriend, Fang Lu, squatted down beside him, her face also pale, with tear stains still wet on her cheeks.
"It's just some bloody handprints, why are you so scared?" Lu Xiang crossed her arms, full of resentment.
If this person hadn't been shouting so loudly, they would have already received their gifts and gone to sleep contentedly.
"No, not only that!" An Yiming shook his head frantically.
Perhaps his mind went blank with fright, he couldn't get to the point: "I...no, it was my girlfriend. She wanted to take a shower, but she was scared to be alone, so she wanted me to go with her. Then, we just got to the bathroom door, and the light kept flashing, and then, then we saw..."
Seeing him pointing at the bathroom with a look of horror on his face, Lin Sui vaguely guessed what was going on.
She walked over in a few steps.
Sure enough, the bathroom, which should have been spotless, was completely soaked in thick blood.
The ground was covered in blood, with bits of flesh flying everywhere, intestines and human organs splattered all over the walls and ceiling.
A strong smell of blood filled the air, and the scene was terrifying and chilling under the dim light.
It seems this master bathroom was the scene of the dismemberment.
Lin Sui calmly thought that what Sister Tian said about the disappearance of flesh and blood was not a complete disappearance.
It's just that you can't see it during the day.
"Ugh~"
He Huanni was so frightened that she gagged on the spot and rushed towards Yu Cinian crying, "Brother Yu, I'm so scared..."
Yu Cinian casually sidestepped, causing He Huanni, who was trying to rush into his arms at top speed, to lose her footing.
"what!"
Hearing the call, Lin Sui turned around.
Just then, I saw He Huanni kneeling in the bloody footprints on the ground, gasping for breath in pain.
Yu Cinian stood to the side, shrugging helplessly at Lin Sui: "Squad leader, you see, there are always people trying to take advantage of me, so..."
He said with a smile, "Why don't you just marry me, squad leader?"
Lin Sui: "..." This hurdle is insurmountable.
Looking at He Huanni again, she was so provoked by those words that she ran away crying again.
Lin Sui: ...What a terrible thing to do!
“Look, there are some outside too,” Li Jianping suddenly said in a trembling voice.
Lin Sui did as she was told and walked outside.
Then, outside the master bedroom door, there were messy bloody footprints that stretched down the hallway toward the living room door.
Bloody handprints were everywhere along the way, on the walls, tables, and even the gates.
It's not hard to imagine that after dismembering her husband, the woman went mad in the room.
Then, she ran out of the house in a mad manner.
He was probably still laughing maniacally while shouting, "Murder! I've murdered someone! Hahahaha, I've murdered someone!"
There was also a clear bloody handprint on the doorknob.
Before Lin Sui could make a move, Yu Cinian placed a disinfectant wipe on the handle and opened the door first.
Whether the lamp itself was broken or was disturbed by the magnetic field of a vengeful spirit, it was pitch black outside the gate.
But even in the stairwell illuminated by the indoor lights, there was blood flowing everywhere and intestines scattered all over the place.
"My God, this... this must be like cutting open a person's belly and draining all their blood!" Tan Huizhen exclaimed, her eyes filled with unease, fearing that she too would become such a bloody mess.
She thought that participating in the show would at most involve seeing ghosts, but who knew it would be so bloody.
Lu Xiang frowned: "Could this all be the flesh and blood of those murdered women?"
Lin Sui thought of what Aunt Tian had said—that the others, like the male head of the household, had been dismembered—and nodded: “That should be it.”
However, there was one issue that Lin Sui was very concerned about.
Generally, the ghosts that are kept in the building are suppressed by the formation. Unless they are about to break through like Yang Zhaodi, they cannot leave the building to harm people.
Either kill everyone overnight before entering the battle.
But Manager Li said that these people had all gotten into trouble one after another.
Or they could do what Fang Jiayi did and leave behind a curse.
Even those who are cursed will not become the lowest rank of ghouls.
Or perhaps, like the Liu family, there are other vengeful spirits present.
However, Lin Sui did not sense any resentment from the moment he entered the building.
This suggests that there should only be one vengeful spirit in the building, and it is being suppressed by the Yin-gathering formation.
So what exactly lured these people in and killed them?
Lin Sui frowned in thought, and unintentionally glanced back to find Xu Haize in the crowd also staring solemnly at the blood and flesh on the ground.
Lin Sui paused, then casually looked away.
Although this problem is a bit tricky, at least we don't have to get up in the middle of the night to deal with vengeful spirits anymore.
As for the ghouls, a few villains can handle them.
Thinking of this, Lin Sui felt a sense of relief, and drowsiness washed over him like a tide.
Seeing that she was listless and lacked energy, Tangxi quickly pressed her down on the bed: "Quick, sleep!"
"But I haven't taken a shower yet..." Lin Sui was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, but she still wanted to struggle a little.
Tang Xi forcefully pressed her down: "Sleep!"
Lin Sui: "...Tangtang, you seem to have...the air of a domineering CEO."
Before she could finish her muttering, she drifted off to sleep.
Perhaps she was still worried about Lu Xiang subconsciously, because even when she was asleep, she held onto Lu Xiang's hand tightly.
This made Lu Xiang's eyes crinkle with laughter.
His smug expression was so conspicuous that others couldn't bear to look at him.
Tangxi simply dragged Liye next door to help move the bed.
Because the master bedroom was covered in bloody handprints, especially the bathroom, no one dared to stay there anymore, so they unanimously decided to move the bed to the living room.
Tangxi was afraid that their dawdling would disturb Lin Sui.
When An Yiming saw that she had come to help, he wanted to be a gentleman and said no.
Little Tangxi lifted the heavy iron bed frame, which was incredibly heavy for him, and strode out with great speed.
As I passed by him, I blurted out a few words without any expression: "Don't block my way!"
An Yiming: "..."
As Lin Sui had predicted, apart from the unsettling sight of the blood and flesh, nothing else happened that night.
Even the ghouls turned into blood-like liquid, and not a single one appeared.
The calm was strangely unexpected.
In any case, being able to sleep soundly until dawn is a good thing for Lin Sui.
As soon as the sunlight shone through the window, she felt so energetic that she could punch a bull to death before she even opened her eyes.
Lin Sui couldn't help but stretch.
The next second, it was as if God had drawn a curtain in front of her and forgotten to lift it; she felt as if the surroundings had become several degrees darker.
The situation has changed?
Lin Sui opened her eyes, wanting to check the weather outside the window, and then suddenly found herself facing five heads peeking out at the same time.
Lin Sui: “…”
Ah, so it turns out that what was covering her eyes wasn't God, but the villain.
"Did the squad leader sleep well?"
Yu Cinian snagged a good spot and propped his face up next to her pillow.
Looking down, Lin Sui could still see the alluring little mole on his nose.
She blinked: "Go to sleep...right now."
“Then…” Yu Cinian’s eyes curved into a smile, and she began to count down softly, “Three.”
"two."
"one."
Almost instantly, five hands reached out at the same time, saying in unison, "A gift."
"..."
Lin Sui breathed a sigh of relief.
I was terrified; I thought there was some kind of trap waiting for her to fall into.
She sat up slowly and deliberately: "Heh, I didn't expect you to be so reserved, only arriving now."
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines from her laughter and nervously looked around.
Lin Sui: "Tell me, what happened?"
Li Ye betrayed Si Xingran without hesitation.
Through his straightforward narration, Lin Sui finally understood what kind of trouble Si Xingran had gotten himself into this time.
This wicked gambling addict maliciously suggested a contest to see who had more patience.
In short, whoever can wait until the very end to ask her for the gifts will be able to keep all five gifts.
This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for them.
And they knew each other very well, and they felt that someone would definitely fall for her at first sight.
Unfortunately, as expected, something unexpected happened.
Qi Yan pulled out his ultimate weapon—a photo of Xiao Lin Sui.
Most importantly, their cleverness backfired.
Everyone wants to greedily take all the gifts at once—even if, apart from their own, the rest of the gifts aren't meant for them.
After all, who can refuse an opportunity that others will envy?
Just thinking about it makes one feel refreshed and happy.
Lin Sui listened and said, "..." There was something weird he didn't know whether he should say or not.
She raised her chin, looking down with disdain: "I'm hungry."
Now the initiative is in her hands.
If you want a gift, feed her first.
