Chapter 117 Sisters, we've got work to do!
"Why would you put another layer on top of a perfectly good bed sheet?" Lin Sui couldn't understand.
Beneath the light gray bed sheet, a hint of red floral pattern could be faintly seen.
Lin Sui had a reasonable suspicion that Si Xingran had someone sew the bright red floral bed sheet and this silk one together.
"You still have the nerve to ask?" Si Xingran glanced at her sideways. "A bed sheet that costs four yuan and ninety-five cents, would you dare to buy it and would anyone else dare to sleep on it?"
Lin Sui: "There's no need to put it inside..."
"Mind your own business!" Si Xingran paused, then turned away angrily, ignoring her.
Lin Sui: "..." Did she say something wrong?
Lu Xiang quickly made her own bed and then turned to help Lin Sui, who was moving slowly.
She glanced at Si Xingran and sneered, "King Gigi is a scavenger; he just loves collecting trash."
"Heh, old witch, at least I have trash, you don't even have trash." Si Xingran lay on her side on the bed, propping her head up with one hand and patting the sheets beneath her with the other, her mocking expression as if she were showing off.
Lu Xiang's face darkened, and she threw the bed sheet into Lin Sui's arms: "Make your own bed!"
Lin Sui: "???"
She looked at Lu Xiang, who had turned over and lay down on the bed with her back to her, and was very confused, extremely confused.
It wasn't until she saw Yu Cinian take out a bag of milk candy from a hidden compartment in his suitcase, look at it, put it back, and then casually take out another bag from the outside and open it.
Lin Sui seemed to understand something.
She then looked at Tang Xi, who was staring at her expectantly, and who, the moment she looked down, lowered her eyes and pulled the sheet from her arms.
Looking at Li Ye, who kept glancing at the milk candy in Yu Cinian's hand, I suddenly felt that these villains were really childish.
Adorably childish.
As night falls, the entire island is bathed in the glow of a vast starry sky.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the world, the starry sky is especially dazzling, and the sound of surging waves can be heard from afar, making this small island seem even more tranquil and spacious.
If it weren't for the ghost story, this would indeed be a great place for a vacation, but...
"Squad leader, will ghosts come out tonight?"
The group stood on the terrace outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, listening to Yu Cinian's curious and chuckled question.
The terrace offers a fantastic view; aside from the high altitude of Yunyu Mountain, everything around the villa is clearly visible.
It looks no different from any other ordinary holiday island.
Lin Sui did some quick calculations: "Congratulations, this will be the most relaxing and enjoyable night we've had since we started participating in the show."
After a few seconds of silence, everyone's eyes drooped listlessly.
Lu Xiang: "Boring."
Si Xingran: "Are there any ships? I need to withdraw tonight."
Yu Cinian: "Could the director send over a pig? I want to cut it up."
Tangxi: "No...no, I'm not happy!" No ghost? I'm not happy!
Li Ye: "Go wash up and go to bed."
After saying that, he went back to his room and lay down on the bed. Then, he devoutly held Ultraman to his chest and peacefully closed his eyes.
Lin Sui: “…”
Just as Lin Suisuan predicted, everything was peaceful tonight.
So when he ran into Xu Haize the next day, he looked arrogant and said, "I've already told you there are no ghosts on this island, Master Lin, don't you believe me?"
Lin Sui ignored him and looked past him to Gao Yuanjiu behind him.
Of the three new additions, Gao Yuanjiu has the strongest aura of death.
This means his death is imminent, at the latest tonight.
Lin Sui stared at his face for a while: "They are innocent, you shouldn't hate them."
Gao Yuanjiu was taken aback and hurriedly turned his face away: "I don't understand what you're saying."
“If you remain obstinate, you will only suffer the consequences.” Lin Sui thought for a moment and then said, “I suggest that you stop following them.”
Lin Siyao had just come out of the room when she heard Lin Sui's words, and she felt a surge of annoyance.
That damned passerby, trying to mislead people again for his own selfish desires.
The system was right; because of her existence, the crime novel was completely ruined.
Unfortunately, from now on, Lin Sui will never succeed!
Lin Siyao called out to Gao Yuanjiu, "It's getting late, let's go down for dinner."
Gao Yuanjiu was in a daze after hearing Lin Sui's words. Hearing her voice, he snapped to attention and turned to leave as if fleeing.
[Lin Sui is speaking in riddles again. Are all fortune tellers this mysterious?]
Based on the situation in the first episode, I'd say this "highland liquor" is either going to suffer or is likely to fail.
Lu Xiang also asked, "Is he the same as Xia Juntao?"
"Same, yet different," Lin Sui said, rubbing her stomach. "Let's go eat."
Breakfast was shrimp wontons. They were just ordinary wontons, but the private chef made them so fragrant and delicious that they made my mouth water.
Lin Sui ate without looking up, and even couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "If I had a private chef with such good skills, I think I would love him to death."
Tangxi, who was standing right next to her, suddenly brightened up.
After breakfast, Lin Sui walked around the villa again, including the maze in the front yard and the swimming pool in the backyard, but still couldn't find what she was looking for.
She simply lay down.
Never mind, I'll wait until tonight.
"boom--"
Lin Sui had just collapsed onto the bed when she heard a huge explosion downstairs, which startled her so much that she almost had a heart attack.
She looked blankly at Yu Cinian, who was spraying disinfectant behind her: "What's going on?"
"Who knows?" Yu Cinian folded a candy wrapper, smiling nonchalantly. "Maybe Si Xingran is testing his new bomb."
Fearing that some unexpected event might occur, Lin Sui might be unable to continue.
She rushed downstairs and discovered that the noise was coming from the kitchen.
Upon closer inspection, the kitchen was a complete mess, with unidentified charred debris scattered all over the walls and floor.
Tangxi was holding a spatula, standing blankly in front of the iron pot that had been blown open with a large hole.
At this moment, her face was covered in black ash, and she had degenerated from a dark loli into a black-faced cat.
Her curly hair, tied into two low ponytails, looked as if it had been singed, with the ends showing a burnt yellow tinge.
Even that pretty Lolita dress had several holes burned through it...
The chef next to him was also affected, looking completely disheveled and numb.
Lin Sui looked completely bewildered: "You guys... are you making bombs?"
Tang Xi froze, not daring to turn her head.
"Pfft!" Si Xingran laughed without restraint. "I must say, it really does resemble the setup for making a bomb."
No one is more qualified to speak on bombs than him.
While Lin Sui was idly strolling around the villa, apart from Yu Cinian, the others unusually didn't join her. Instead, they were in the kitchen watching Tang Xi deep-fry the food.
Yes, this wasn't the first time she'd blown it up.
She had already blown it up three times before Lin Sui arrived.
However, those three times were less powerful, which is why Lin Sui didn't hear them.
After finishing her meal, Tangxi thought she had secretly approached the chef and expressed her desire to learn cooking from him using pen and paper.
The chef was already receiving a high salary from the Yu family, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.
He looked at Tangxi, who had a blank expression but bright, obedient eyes, and thought she would be a good student.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
From initial gentleness and patience, to disbelief, then to anxiety and breakdown, and finally to numbness, it only takes four explosions.
This was the first time he had realized that the best way to demonstrate a complete lack of talent in cooking was not by producing terrible dishes.
It was an air fryer.
"Miss Tang, I sincerely hope that you will stay away from the kitchen from now on and find happiness with everyone." The chef wiped his face, maintained his final polite smile, and drifted away like a ghost.
Tangxi's shoulders slumped, her frustration clearly visible.
Lin Sui wanted to laugh but inexplicably felt she shouldn't, so she cleared her throat and asked, "Tangtang, why did you suddenly decide to learn to cook?"
Tang Xi didn't speak, but gave her a resentful look, which made Lin Sui think, "???"
"I'm telling you, you're not planning to use your cooking skills to fry us to death so you can have Sui Sui all to yourself, are you?" Lu Xiang said with a smile, her eyes full of teasing.
Upon hearing this, Li Ye decisively stepped forward, used the same trick to grab Tang Xi under her armpits, lifted her up, and carried her out of the kitchen.
Tangxi: "..."
"I never expected it, I never expected it, that you, little potato, have the blackest heart? How disappointing." Si Xingran shook his head in anguish, but no one could miss the wicked smile on his lips.
Tangxi's face tightened, and she stared at him intently for a few seconds.
He then channeled all his resentment into a single kick, stomping heavily on his foot.
"Ouch!" Si Xingran immediately stood on one leg, jumping up and down in pain.
Seeing Tang Xi storm upstairs in a huff, Si Xingran's eyes widened, feeling extremely resentful: "They're all people who mocked her, so why does she only retaliate against me?!"
Lin Sui looked at him sympathetically: "Maybe you look like a QQ space, so she just wants to step on you."
Si Xingran: "???"
Lin Siyao's team stayed outside the villa for another day, only returning for lunch.
Gao Yuanjiu did not listen to her and continued to follow Lin Siyao.
When they returned to the villa in the evening, Lin Sui was surprised to find that she could no longer see Gao Yuanjiu's face clearly.
She couldn't help but suspect that it was that force behind the scenes at work again.
In order to ensure that the murder would occur as scheduled.
After all, there are still quite a few people who stick to their own beliefs and question whether it was all just scripted special effects.
If the person behind the scenes were to exploit this and create several more cases that started as ghost stories but ended as murders, they would have a real chance to overturn the previous two incidents.
It might even completely label her as a charlatan, pushing her into an abyss of no return—just imagine, if Fang Jiayi and Yang Zhaodi weren't ghosts, but actresses she hired, then who would be most responsible for their murders?
She, and even her villains.
They would all be identified as deranged killers who "fabricated ghosts to cover up their crimes in order to take pleasure in human lives with impunity."
It seems that now, because their investigation has made no progress for two consecutive days, doubts have begun to emerge online.
Lin Sui's prediction was correct.
Where are the people who said Lin Sui has her own rhythm? It's already the second day, and they're still just wandering around the villa aimlessly.
Honestly, if it weren't for Tangxi contributing some entertainment value, I wouldn't have been able to watch them at all.
Did they not write a script for Lin Sui this time? Could it be that he went too far with his mystical antics and got a warning from the higher-ups?
It was only 8 p.m., and Yunyu Island was already completely quiet.
To avoid being overheard and to ensure the smooth progress of the case, Lin Siyao discussed her daytime findings with Duan Xuchi in the first-floor restaurant.
As teammates, Wang Meilan and Ding Xiaoxue were naturally kept behind as well.
However, the two of them felt uneasy facing the living room, which was half burned down.
Wang Meilan suddenly stood up and left the restaurant.
"Meilan, where are you going?" Ding Xiaoxue asked as she followed.
As Ding Xiaoxue passed by the dark ground and walls, the sofa that had been burned down to its iron frame filled her with fear.
She quickly caught up with Wang Meilan, trying to gain a sense of security from her.
"You're thirsty, go to the kitchen for a drink." Wang Meilan seemed calmer than her, but her pale face betrayed her inner unease.
Although Xu Haize firmly stated that there were no ghosts in this place, she subconsciously trusted Lin Sui more because she felt guilty.
The island's unstable power supply caused the living room lights to be dim, making the dark clumps look like menacing ghosts.
The two walked by with their heads down, rushing into the kitchen as if fleeing.
Wang Meilan poured herself a glass of water with slightly trembling hands, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
But at that moment, she felt a dark shadow flash by in the corner of her eye.
At the same time, Ding Xiaoxue behind her let out a short scream and hugged her arm tightly: "Meilan, Meilan, the window, outside the window..."
Wang Meilan gripped the water glass tightly, staring intently at the dark window in front of her, but only saw her pale face reflected in the window.
She suppressed her panic, slowly walked over, took a deep breath, and wanted to open the window to see what was going on.
next second.
"Snapped!"
A bloody hand slammed heavily on the window, and then a distorted, mangled face suddenly pressed against the window, revealing a ferocious grin.
[Holy crap! A direct hit!]
[I thought tonight would be another boring night, and then a ghost appears?]
"what--"
Ding Xiaoxue screamed in fright and fell to the ground with a thud.
Wang Meilan's legs went weak, and she staggered backward.
Both of them stared wide-eyed in disbelief, their eyes bloodshot with horror.
Mr. Bi...
The screams reached the second floor, and Lin Sui, who was preparing to take a nap as usual, immediately opened his eyes.
Si Xingran, who had been waiting for this moment, excitedly asked, "A ghost has arrived?"
Lin Sui's fingers, which were resting on her abdomen, twitched. She shook her head and said, "It's not a ghost, don't worry about it."
Li Ye, who had just taken out the cinnabar pistol, silently put it back.
[She was the one who said there were ghosts, but now that the ghosts have appeared, she says there aren't? What is Lin Sui trying to do?]
Am I stupid? I can't understand this episode at all!
Whether it was a ghost or not, Wang Meilan and Ding Xiaoxue were completely terrified by that face.
They had been anxious ever since they arrived on the island, and now they were so flustered that they couldn't sleep.
So when everyone was sound asleep in the middle of the night, and they were threatened and woken up by the words on the napkin, neither of them could utter a single word of protest.
As if sensing something, Lin Sui, who was fast asleep, sat up straight as if she had come back to life.
She looked around and saw Lu Xiang and Tang Xi playing cat's cradle, and Si Xingran and Li Ye arm wrestling.
Yu Cinian was wiping his ghost-headed sword, perhaps because he was so bored, even his hair looked disheveled.
Lin Sui: "...Sisters, we've got a job."
