45: Chapter 45 Rich Woman Chen Xinyi! Is it really a ghost this time?

The owner of Iron Shield was originally dumbfounded, but seeing the screen flooded with comments like "Want to buy" and "Link please."

He suddenly realized that this massive stroke of fortune seemed to have really landed on him!

Although Su Yun was joking, the popularity was real!

So, the owner didn't waste any words and directly posted in the live chat.

"Thank you, Master Su, for your guidance! We'll go back and research the Kevlar series! For now, I'll post a link for the standard model at 50% off! Consider it entry-level gear!"

After saying this, a shopping cart link floated across the live stream.

Su Yun hadn't expected the owner to react so quickly and smiled helplessly.

"Alright, since everyone is so enthusiastic, go ahead and take a look if you want to buy, but I won't be responsible for after-sales service."

As it turned out, less than two minutes after he said this.

The owner sent another message in the chat.

"Holy crap! Master Su is amazing! The inventory of 20,000 pairs was sold out in an instant!"

"The sewing machines at the factory are about to smoke from overuse!"

"Thank you, Master Su! Thank you, everyone! I'm going to go rush the orders!"

Watching this scene, Su Yun was a bit amused and exasperated.

The purchasing power of netizens these days is truly baffling.

They were laughing just a moment ago, and then they turned around and cleared out the warehouse.

Is this what they call legendary reverse influencer marketing?

"Alright, alright, let's put the underwear matter aside for now."

Su Yun checked the time and steered the topic back on track.

"After all, this is a fortune-telling live stream, not a home shopping channel."

"Let's continue and draw our second fated person for today."

"Same rules as always, Lucky Bag, go!"

A red Lucky Bag countdown appeared on the screen again.

Those who didn't manage to grab the underwear earlier, or just wanted to watch the fun, all started competing to see who was faster.

Three minutes later.

The Lucky Bag draw results were out.

The winner's ID was "Lost Kitten."

Just looking at the name, it exuded a soft and cute vibe.

And this person didn't hesitate; as soon as she won, she immediately gifted ten Carnivals.

The special effects illuminated Su Yun's face in red.

Immediately after, a message filled with a sobbing tone floated out.

"Master Su! Help! There's something unclean in my house!"

"I'm scared to death! Please, help me!"

Seeing the words "unclean thing," the atmosphere in the live stream changed instantly.

The happy and peaceful atmosphere from just a moment ago was swept away, replaced by excitement and curiosity.

"It's here, it's here! Paranormal special!"

"The last one was man-made, could this one actually be a real ghost?"

"She's a rich woman! Ten Carnivals without even blinking!"

Su Yun didn't dawdle and directly initiated a video call.

After two beeps.

The video connected.

As soon as the image lit up, gasps of surprise echoed through the live stream.

It wasn't because they saw anything terrifying.

It was because the background was simply too luxurious.

What came into view was an extremely luxuriously decorated bedroom.

A European-style carved bed, a crystal chandelier, and the oil paintings hanging on the wall looked expensive.

Even the carpet on the floor was the kind of long-pile plush that looked very difficult to maintain.

And in the center of the frame sat a young girl.

She was in her early twenties, wearing silk pajamas, and was incredibly beautiful.

Her skin was glowing white, her eyes were big, looking like a delicate porcelain doll.

However, she was in a very bad state right now.

Her hair was messy, her eye sockets were sunken, and her dark circles were so heavy they looked like smoky makeup.

She was curled up in the corner of the bed, clutching a pillow tightly to her chest, her eyes filled with terror and helplessness.

She was just like a frightened little rabbit.

"Ma—Master..."

The girl's voice was trembling, carrying a clear sobbing tone.

"My name is Chen Xinyi."

"You must save me, I'm really about to break down."

Su Yun nodded, his tone softening slightly.

"Don't rush, take your time."

"You mentioned earlier that there is an unclean thing in your house? What exactly is the situation?"

Chen Xinyi swallowed, appearing to be struggling to calm her emotions.

She turned the phone camera around to show the surrounding environment.

"Master Su, this is a detached villa where I live alone."

"I usually live here alone, and occasionally a part-time cleaner comes to tidy up."

"Things started a week ago."

Chen Xinyi's voice was very low, as if she were afraid of disturbing something.

"I have a Ragdoll cat named Snowball that I've raised for three years. It usually has a very gentle personality and has never bitten anyone."

"But this past week, Snowball has been acting very strangely."

"It constantly hisses at the air, and sometimes it puffs up its fur at the corners of the walls, making very fierce noises."

"And it absolutely refuses to enter my bedroom. Whenever I carry it in, it struggles desperately, as if there is something terrifying in this room."

At this point, Chen Xinyi shuddered.

The live chat started flooding with comments.

"Cats and dogs are psychic! There is definitely something here!"

"My dog used to be like that, too. Later, I had someone look into it, and they said a passing ghost had entered the house."

"Don't be afraid, rich sister. I'm not afraid of ghosts; I'll come sleep with you!"

Su Yun didn't speak, just listened quietly.

The idea that animals are psychic does have some basis in metaphysics.

But it cannot be fully trusted.

Often, an animal's abnormal reaction might just be because they smelled something special, or heard high-frequency sounds that humans cannot hear.

Chen Xinyi took a deep breath and continued.

"If it were only the cat acting strangely, I might still be able to lie to myself and say I was overthinking it."

"But..."

A deep fear flickered in her eyes.

"These past few nights, every day at midnight."

"Above my head, on the ceiling of the attic on the second floor."

"A sound of 'tap, tap, tap' comes right on time."

"It's like... someone is playing with marbles upstairs, the marbles dropping onto the floor, and then bouncing a few times before rolling away."

As soon as these words were spoken, the viewers in the live stream immediately felt a chill down their backs.

"Holy crap! Marble sounds! I have experience with this!"

"I often heard marble sounds upstairs when I was a kid! But I lived on the top floor!"

"Stop talking, I've got goosebumps!"

"This is a classic paranormal event! It's said that's the sound of a ghost's eyeball dropping on the floor!"

Chen Xinyi looked at the chat, her face turning even paler.

"Master Su, I've checked online too."

"Some people say it's the thermal expansion and contraction of building materials, and others say it's the sound of mold corroding the steel bars."

"But my house was just built a few years ago, and it was made with the best materials, so how could there be such a problem?"

"And that sound is so regular! It's every day at twelve o'clock! Not a minute off!"

"I've even had feng shui masters come to look, and I've even had people check the water pipes and floor slabs, but nothing was found."

"But I can just feel it, this house is not clean!"

"Sometimes when I'm sleeping, I always feel like a pair of eyes is staring at me..."

"Master Su, have I been entangled by some evil spirit?"

The more Chen Xinyi spoke, the more agitated she became, and tears began to fall drop by drop.

That kind of fear couldn't be faked.

She was truly terrified.

Su Yun looked at the panicked girl on the screen, his brows furrowing slightly.

Marble sounds.

Cat puffing up its fur.

Midnight.

It certainly sounded like something.

However...

Su Yun muttered to himself in his mind.

"System, get to work."
