295: Chapter 295 The Ghost Left and Stole Your Snacks

" Li-Lin Brother, wh-what is going on? They couldn't, they couldn't actually be..." Zhang Xiaofu asked, stammering.

" Mhm." Lin Xiao nodded with a smile.

Zhang Xiaofu immediately lost his balance and took a half-step back.

" Th-th-this is a real ghost? Lin Brother, why didn't you warn me? I..." He felt his head spinning a bit.

Fear and resentment constantly flooded his mind. He felt like he was about to faint, yet he didn't dare to.

He could only raise his hand and forcefully pinch his philtrum, muttering incessantly, "No, I can't faint, I absolutely cannot faint. If I faint, they will definitely run away without taking me..."

Lin Xiao laughed: "So, are you saying that I am heartless?"

Zhang Xiaofu swallowed hard, trembling as he asked: "Lin Brother, if I faint, will you protect me and take me away?"

" No."

"..." Zhang Xiaofu knew it! They definitely wouldn't care about him! Therefore, he absolutely could not faint!

He turned around, trying his best not to look at those ghosts. He didn't know if it was just psychological, but after learning they were real ghosts, their images had completely lost their previous comedic effect. Instead, they had become terrifying. Zhang Xiaofu felt that if he took one more look, pinching his philtrum wouldn't help anymore.

Yang Yong and Qian Ling had actually realized long ago that these were real ghosts. Although they weren't too surprised, they were still quite wary. The key was that they didn't know where these ghosts came from or how to send them away.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao didn't intend to actually scare Zhang Xiaofu to the point of harm, so he immediately said to the system in his mind: "Hey, hey, that's enough, right? Hiring these ghosts must have cost a lot of money, right? If there's nothing else, hurry up and send them back!"

[Hmph!] The system let out a soft huff. It had initially wanted to talk tough, but finding these ghosts had indeed come at a high cost. The longer they delayed, the higher the price. Now that the mission was complete, it naturally couldn't keep wasting money.

Soon, those ghosts seemed to receive some kind of order and turned to walk inside the house. Sadako walked toward the television, the blood returned to the bathroom, the Red-White Clash lifted into the air in the living room, and the zombie jumped back out through the window it had entered from.

However, they clearly didn't intend to come for nothing. One by one, they actually swiped all the snacks placed on the table...

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally remembered to check on the Live Stream Channel.

Unexpectedly, the popularity of the Live Stream Channel was still very high. The comments were scrolling incessantly.

"Streamer, streamer, what special effects software are you using! The effect is so good!"

"Yeah, I almost thought those were real ghosts!"

"Laughing to death, the plot arrangement is also very interesting, especially that fool, he's truly the comedic lead!"

"Don't say, those ghosts' acting is really good, they must be professional actors, right?"

"..."

These viewers actually thought it was all acted out? And what fool? Who are they talking about? Zhang Xiaofu was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to explain it to the viewers in the Live Stream Channel.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw that the Live Stream Channel had already closed. He saw Yang Yong had already put away his phone and said triumphantly: "Do you know how many followers I gained tonight? One hundred thousand! A whole one hundred thousand!"

"Isn't that all because I bought them for you?" Zhang Xiaofu didn't say the explanation out loud, feeling a sense of stifled frustration in his chest. He could only vent it at Yang Yong.

But Yang Yong only cared about looking at those new followers on his phone and didn't take Zhang Xiaofu's dissatisfaction seriously at all.

Qian Ling glanced at the time and reminded them: "It's late. Since we've already caught the person pretending to be a ghost, we should head back first."

Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "I'm afraid we can't go back now."

"Hm?" Yang Yong put away his phone and heard Lin Xiao's words, "What? Are there more ghosts coming?"

Lin Xiao said indifferently: "Sometimes, people are scarier than ghosts."

After saying this, his gaze turned toward the outside of the courtyard. The other three finally noticed that a few burly men were walking toward them from not far away. They were all wearing black tank tops and holding watermelon knives in their hands! They looked like they intended to kill and rob them.

"What the? What is this? The mafia? Chen Haonan?" Zhang Xiaofu had never seen such a scene before.

Yang Yong and Qian Ling were also frightened. They were unfamiliar with the place, and even if they called the police now, it would likely be too late.

Soon, those burly men had approached. The leader was a Bald Man, who looked Lin Xiao and the others up and down, his gaze turning fierce, "You guys really like to look for trouble! Wouldn't it have been better to just go back obediently? Why insist on playing some ghost-catching game here!"

"What do you want?" Even though Yang Yong was afraid, he still blocked in front of Qian Ling.

"Heh, you discovered the secret here, what do you think we want?" The Bald Man sneered and waved his hand at the people behind him, "These people can't be left alive. Kill them and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"

Upon hearing the order, those burly men slowly approached Lin Xiao and the others.

"How can you do this? Is there no law!" Zhang Xiaofu shouted timidly and hid behind Lin Xiao.

"On this island, we are the law!" The Bald Man scoffed.

Watching the gleaming blades gradually approach, Zhang Xiaofu could almost imagine the scene of these knives cutting into his body, going in white and coming out red. He finally realized what the dead end mentioned in Lin Xiao's inner thoughts earlier was all about. If he had known this trip was so dangerous, he wouldn't have come no matter what.

"Sigh." Lin Xiao let out a soft sigh, regretting it in his heart as well. If he had known these people were endless, he wouldn't have let those ghosts leave so early. Fierce ghosts from various worlds would have been perfect for going head-to-head with these unreasonable humans. It was a pity, now he had to handle it himself.
