158: Chapter 158 This is a pig butchering scam! But the one being butchered isn't the pig, it's you!

As Chen Xue described it, the millions of people in the livestream felt as if they were right there with her.

The fear of being in a locked room while hearing the eerie sound of a chainsaw outside the door crawled up everyone's spine through the internet cables.

[Holy crap! Stop talking, I'm getting goosebumps!]

[Chainsaw sounds? Basement? Isn't this freaking Texas Chainsaw Massacre?!]

[Girl, don't hesitate! Call the police! This isn't something a normal person does!]

[What if it's really renovations or a machine malfunction? Making a false police report isn't great, right?]

Su Yun's expression turned completely cold.

He didn't answer Chen Xue's question, but instead chanted silently in his heart.

"System, activate Tianji Divine Calculation!"

"Target: Chen Xue, the villa she is in, and the employer, Dong Yu."

The next second.

A golden light that only Su Yun could see instantly enveloped Chen Xue on the screen.

Countless streams of information flashed frantically before his eyes.

[Name: Chen Xue]

[Age: 22 years old]

[Occupation: High-paid live-in nanny]

[Recent Fortune: Omen of Great Calamity (Death is imminent; currently under the butcher's knife of a serial killer. Without external intervention, death is certain.)]

[Past: Born in the countryside to a poor family. In urgent need of money to support her younger brother's university education. Half a month ago, she was lured by a '50,000 monthly salary' fake recruitment ad on a local job site and moved into the villa...]

[Future: Escapes death under Su Yun's strong intervention...]

[Sin Value: 0]

[Detailed Crimes: None]

Su Yun's gaze skipped over Chen Xue's information and looked directly at the employer.

When the name and related information surfaced, even with Su Yun's vast experience, his pupils constricted sharply.

[Name: Dong Yu (Real Name: Wang Dayong)]

[Age: 45 years old]

[Occupation: Disguised wealthy man / Class-A wanted criminal]

[Recent Fortune: Dark Clouds Overhead (Evil deeds lead to self-destruction. Location has been exposed; about to face a thunderous arrest or being shot dead by the police.)]

[Past: Committed a massacre seven years ago in Changhe City, killing a family of four. Subsequently underwent plastic surgery, changed his name, and fled to Jiangcheng. Purchased a detached villa and converted the basement into a slaughterhouse...]

[Future: Caught due to Su Yun's livestream exposure, ultimately sentenced to death...]

[Sin Value: 380]

[Detailed Crimes: Responsible for 11 lives (including the family of four from seven years ago and 7 young nannies lured and killed later). Extremely perverted psychology; habit of using an industrial chainsaw to dismember victims on full moon nights and burying body parts as fertilizer under the garden's rose bushes...]

Seeing this, Su Yun felt a chill rush straight to the top of his head.

What kind of high-paid nanny job was this?

This was clearly a sacrificial offering delivered to the door!

What kind of luxury mansion was this?

This was fundamentally a human slaughterhouse!

And that so-called 'cannot go to the basement' was because it was filled with bloodstains and bone fragments that hadn't been cleaned up yet!

The so-called 'lock the door after ten o'clock' was merely him enjoying the pleasure of the victim waiting for death in fear!

Su Yun suddenly looked up, his eyes becoming sharper than ever before.

He stared at Chen Xue on the screen, his tone severe to the extreme.

"Chen Xue!"

This sudden shout made Chen Xue flinch, and she almost dropped her phone on the floor.

"Ma... Master?"

"Listen to me, listen clearly to every single word!"

Su Yun spoke extremely fast, leaving no room for doubt: "Now! Right now! Immediately! Leave that room!"

"Don't pack your bags! Don't take anything!"

"This is a pig-butchering scam! But the one being slaughtered isn't a pig, it's you!"

"That Dong Yu didn't go on a business trip at all!"

"He's downstairs! He's in the basement!"

"The sound you heard wasn't renovations, nor was it a machine malfunction!"

"That was him testing the chainsaw used to saw through bones!"

Su Yun's words were like a heavy bomb, exploding directly in the livestream.

Chen Xue was completely stunned.

Her mouth hung open, her head buzzing, completely unable to process this information.

"Saw... saw through bones?"

"Master, don't scare me."

Chen Xue's voice carried a sob, her body so weak she could barely stand.

"Mr. Dong seemed like such a good person; he even gave me an advance of a thousand yuan for groceries."

"And my salary for the probation period hasn't been settled yet."

"If I run away now, wouldn't that be a breach of contract? Would I lose that 50,000 yuan?"

Hearing this, Su Yun was almost driven to laughter by anger.

This was the weakness of human nature.

In the face of immense greed and wishful thinking, even when the Grim Reaper has placed the scythe against their neck, people will still instinctively think about that bit of money.

"Money?"

Su Yun sneered, his gaze cold to the bone.

"Do you think a dead person still needs to spend money?"

"You think that 50,000 yuan is a salary?"

"That's your life-buying money! It's your funeral expenses! It's money for your coffin!"

"Do you know how many nannies this villa has gone through before?"

"Seven!"

"A total of seven!"

"Every single one of them was just like you—young, beautiful, short on money, thinking they could change their lives by working for one month."

"And the result?"

"They are all in the basement's sewers now, turned into fertilizer for those roses in the garden!"

"Why do you think there's a rule about not going to the basement?"

"Because that place is a slaughterhouse! The walls, the floor—they're covered in blood that can't be washed away!"

Chen Xue was scared out of her wits by Su Yun's words.

She finally realized that she wasn't facing some kind of kind-hearted wealthy man, but a demon who ate people without spitting out the bones.

"Then... then what should I do?"

Chen Xue asked while crying, "Do I run now? But I've double-locked the door; if I unlock it, will the sound be heard by him?"

"Run!"

Su Yun roared loudly, "Don't worry about the sound! That noise has already stopped!"

Just as he finished speaking.

Everyone in the livestream held their breath.

Because the 'zi zi zi' chainsaw sound that Chen Xue had just imitated had indeed vanished.

The entire villa fell into a deathly silence.

This silence was even more hair-raising than the noise from before.

"Why did it stop?"

Su Yun stared fixedly at the screen, his speaking speed as fast as a machine gun.

"Because he's finished testing the machine!"

"Because he's ready!"

"Haven't you noticed? Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month!"

"Look out the window! Tonight is a full moon!"

"This is his day for killing!"

"The reason he stopped the machine is because he is now holding a knife and walking up from the basement!"

"He's on the stairs!"

"He's in the hallway!"

"He's walking toward your room right now!"

With Su Yun's successive roars, Chen Xue's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

She no longer cared about the 50,000 yuan, nor did she care about any breach of contract fees.

She rushed toward the door like crazy, her hands fumbling as she tried to twist open the lock.

However.

The very moment her hand touched the doorknob.

All her movements froze.

The millions of viewers in the livestream, through the high-definition lens of the phone, clearly saw a heart-stopping scene.

That door, which Chen Xue had originally double-locked.

That golden spherical doorknob.

Was bit by bit, extremely slowly...

Turning.
