44: The trial livestream has ended.
At this moment, a netizen posted a bullet comment: "Host, do you dare to let Miss Star have a taste of this fried Ghost Nightmare?"
Seeing this comment, Star's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at You Xiaoqian, who was picking at her fingernails.
"Hey, sister. Why don't you try the taste of this fried Ghost Nightmare? Let's do a live tasting session for everyone."
"Ghost messengers eating evil ghosts—the Netherworld allows it. It won't upset your stomach."
You Xiaoqian was stunned at first, then gave a bitter smile. "This... alright, since everyone wants to see it, this girl will give it a try."
With trembling hands, You Xiaoqian picked up a piece of golden-fried Ghost Nightmare, took a bite, and chewed a few times.
Her dark eyes widened, and she gave You Pan a thumbs up. "Team Leader's cooking is top-notch!"
"Mmm... this taste is actually quite good! It's crispy and delicious, with a faint flavor of cumin beef."
"Manager, you come try it too!" As she spoke, You Xiaoqian handed the fried Ghost Nightmare to You Lin beside her, gesturing for him to take a bite.
You Lin looked at You Xiaoqian with a face full of disdain, but under the expectant gazes of many ghost messenger subordinates, he braced himself and took a small bite.
However, the moment he tasted it, his expression became quite colorful. The original look of disdain gradually vanished, replaced by a hint of craftiness.
"The taste of a Third-rank Evil Ghost is truly not bad!"
"Next time, I'll have to ask the Minister to bring back some local specialties when out on a mission," You Lin thought happily to himself.
"Hahahaha..."
You Lin's laughter suddenly burst through the netizens' speakers, carrying two parts anticipation, three parts mockery, and five parts sheer arrogance.
"Holy crap~ damn~ holy crap holy crap holy crap..." A group of evil ghosts and evil cultivators huddled together, shivering. "Mom, save me, the Netherworld is so terrifying."
"Don't stop me, I/This Old Lady want to surrender!"
"Crunch, crunch, crunch..." Look, how could the ghost messengers in the livestream resist the temptation of delicious food? One piece per ghost, dipped in some chili powder, and in no time, they had finished the Ghost Nightmare completely, not even leaving a crumb.
Star saw this scene and her face turned green with anger. The incense value had already exceeded a hundred million! The judgment had turned into an eating show; the ghost messengers were actually performing a live dismemberment and consumption of a death row prisoner!
"The ghost is gone, so who is the Dog-Head Guillotine going to execute next?"
"Burp, burp, burp..." You Lin elegantly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth and patted his bulging stomach. "So nourishing! My ghost power has even increased a bit."
You Xiaoqian nudged Star with her elbow. "Sister, quick, save the show."
Star turned her head and secretly rolled her eyes a few times. "Over 130 million incense offerings, you guys are too amazing!"
"It's exactly nine o'clock now, so we're giving away one hundred Body Tempering Pills in the livestream."
"They can strengthen your bones and toughen your physical body. Backend, hurry up and put up the link for the Body Tempering Pills."
"Limited to one minute, it's time to see how fast your hands are."
As soon as Star finished speaking, the livestream immediately became lively, with bullet comments scrolling rapidly.
"Is this for real?"
"I want it, I want it! I must grab a Body Tempering Pill!"
"Beep beep beep beep~" The link was just posted in the backend, and one minute later...
"Damn, it's gone in a second!"
"Brother Qiang is offering ten thousand yuan for a Body Tempering Pill."
"The guy above is too stingy, I'll give a hundred thousand."
"This Old Lady will give a million."
"Brothers and sisters, stop fighting, I'll give ten million!"
"Little sister above, you're not talking about Zimbabwean dollars, are you?"
"Your whole family is Zimbabwean dollars!"
"Get lost, get lost, stay the hell away from me~"
...You Xiaoqian suddenly had a confused ghost messenger face, and the curve of her lips instantly vanished.
"Why are they fighting?"
She immediately looked at the backend control terminal and changed the subject.
"Alright, family! Next, we will enter the next segment."
The screen changed, the livestream switched effects, simulating a scene of the Netherworld execution ground.
Star and You Xiaoqian walked hand in hand to the center of the execution ground.
"Please welcome today's second guest—Old Man Gu."
"Sizzle, sizzle!" The lift slowly rose. Old Man Gu was tied to a Copper Pillar, his face pale and his eyes hollow.
"Family, this is the one who is guilty of terrible crimes, skinning and cramping, pulling bones and dismembering... committing every evil imaginable."
"Next, please enjoy the performance art of our ghost messenger sister."
You Xiaoqian cracked the whip in her hand. "Old Man Gu, today you'll have to experience the whip plus salt water!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the whip and lashed it heavily against Old Man Gu.
Every lash left a deep mark, and Old Man Gu cried out in pain.
The netizens watching the livestream were delighted, and the bullet comments were full of praise for the Netherworld.
At that moment, the livestream screen exploded with a flood of "Copper Brand Pies," one after another.
Netizens cursed while being unable to control their hands; the entire livestream room instantly became an ocean of "Copper Brand Pies."
After reading the comments, Star had mixed feelings. Speechless, she turned her gaze back to the big screen, prepared to have a deep discussion with the netizens.
As a result, she saw lines flying by: "Another episode of teasing Miss Star."
Star's clear eyes widened in shock. "Teasing?"
Seeing her reaction, the netizens teased her even more. Someone's single comment with rainbow farts covered the entire bullet comment area.
You Xiaoqian looked at the camera, suppressed a smile, and pouted. "Family, ghost messengers don't eat people. Copper Brand Pies can't be made. How about we change it to a burning copper brand?"
Only then did the flattery in the comment section gradually stop. Netizens who were almost dying of laughter quickly typed to the ghost messenger sister.
A stream of "Okay, okay, looking forward to it."
You Lin walked toward the Copper Pillar and held out his hand; a ball of Ghost Fire emerged from his palm. He touched it to the ignition line at the base of the pillar, and in less than three seconds, the entire Copper Pillar burst into flames.
Tied to the pillar, Old Man Gu wailed and twisted his body frantically, performing a moonwalk on the spot... The flames burned brighter and brighter, and Old Man Gu's screams grew louder. His body was gradually charred, but he continued to struggle.
You Xiaoqian raised her whip and lashed it fiercely toward Old Man Gu's head.
With a crisp crack, Old Man Gu's head shattered like bamboo charcoal, ash flying everywhere.
Netizens were dumbstruck, and the bullet comments in the livestream instantly stopped refreshing.
A moment later, comments flooded in again, but this time they weren't "Copper Brand Pies" but a wave of amazement and praise.
"So powerful!" "Well hit!" "The Netherworld is truly a righteous Ultraman!"
Watching this scene, Star's hands and feet stopped trembling. "Family, tonight's livestream ends here. See you next time."
Once the backend closed the livestream, Star sat on the ground with a thud. "Team Leader, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of you."
You Lin patted Star's shoulder. "Brother, it's normal for anyone to react this way when seeing torture for the first time."
"You were already very impressive!" You Xiaoqian said, leaning on the livestream stand.
