Chapter 12 The Legendary Beauty Who Could Cause Trouble
"Why are you looking so gloomy? Is the mission difficult?" Si Xingran noticed her expression and leaned closer to glance at her phone. "Find a haunted house? That's not that hard, you can just ask anyone, right?"
Lin Sui shook her head and said nothing.
She took off her backpack and pulled out several triangular talismans from a hidden compartment, handing them to the group: "These are protective amulets. Keep them close to your bodies; they can save your lives in a critical moment."
The village of Lotus Flower was filled with an extremely heavy yin energy; she sensed that there was more than one ghost there.
Wow, they've even brought out amulets? They're actually putting on a convincing act.
If my wife really wants to play, let her. I can play along.
[I don't understand. They could easily make a living off their looks, so why do they choose to commit fraud?]
I don't think she's a scammer.
Lin Siyao and Duan Xuchi were walking not far ahead of them when they heard Lin Sui's words and she turned around in surprise.
Looking at the talismans in Lin Sui's hand, she suddenly felt that she had been somewhat ridiculous before.
How could she think that Lin Sui was qualified to be her threat or her obstacle?
She's just a random passerby who likes to play tricks. Even if she knows about the Lin family couple's shady dealings, it's probably because Si Xingran, a hacker, is helping her.
Lin Siyao then recalled the WeChat message Chairman Lin had sent her—
Someone in Baolin said that no matter how much I withdraw my investment, that person will make up double!
You should find out which powerful figure this brat has climbed up to. If he's just some nouveau riche, I'll kill him too!
Chairman Lin now loathes Lin Sui from the bottom of his heart, so when Lin Siyao asked him to kick Lin Sui off the show and kidnap him, he agreed without hesitation.
It's a pity that Lin Sui also has someone protecting her. Could the person protecting Lin Sui also be Si Xingran?
When did they meet, and why is it never mentioned in the novel?
But that doesn't matter anymore. The first murder will happen soon. As long as she solves it in the shortest time, no one can take away her glory and honor.
Lin Siyao withdrew her gaze, not deigning to look at Lin Sui again.
The sharp-tongued little monster still held a grudge against Lin Sui for cursing him to die, and immediately laughed out: "No way, Miss Lin, you're already scared at the very beginning? Even if there really are ghosts, that yellow paper you bought for a few dollars from some run-down Taoist temple probably won't work."
Duan Xuchi also said in a deep voice, "If there are ghosts, it can only be people playing tricks. Our goal is to find the people behind these tricks."
As a criminal investigator, he never believed in ghosts or gods, and of course, he didn't want others to go astray and fall into the trap of swindlers.
Lin Sui was well aware that the novel's background was criminal investigation, and had nothing to do with ghosts or gods.
There are a few supernatural cases, but they are all ultimately overturned by the male protagonist, a staunch atheist.
She didn't quite understand how she ended up in a novel that seemed so out of place with her.
Perhaps it's because she died young?
Lin Sui didn't want to force it; whether to believe or not was entirely up to the individual. Seeing that Si Xingran and the others didn't seem to want to accept, he prepared to withdraw his hand.
Suddenly, a hand reached out.
Tangxi took a talisman from her outstretched palm and expressionlessly stuffed it into the small bag that was slung across her body and matched her Lolita dress.
"I don't have a bag, can I put it inside my socks?" Lu Xiang smiled and lifted one leg, revealing white mid-calf socks on her calf.
Lin Sui nodded: "As long as you don't knock it off, it's fine."
"Tsk, anyway, there's a pocket, so it's not difficult to put them in." Si Xingran picked one up with disdain. "But seriously, this talisman you made is really ugly."
Lin Sui: "..." His fist hardened again.
To her surprise, Li Ye, who had never spoken to her before, also reached out and took one.
In the end, only Yu Cinian remained.
The sharp-tongued little monster laughed even louder: "As expected, Young Master Yu is the smartest. He won't stoop to the level of you feudal superstitionists."
"Oh? So you think I'm not smart?" Lu Xiang glanced at him lightly, her soft voice carrying a hint of coolness.
Sharp Little Monster chuckled: "How could that be? Goddess, you're just too naive and easily fooled."
"Really?" Lu Xiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her expression tinged with innocent doubt. "But all I want is a talisman for peace of mind. Why do you think that's wrong?"
One sentence left the sharp-tongued little monster speechless.
Lin Sui almost clapped and cheered.
The best tea master is none other than Lu Xiang.
“Indeed, having a talisman on one's person makes one feel more at ease.” Xiao Jin walked over. “Miss Lin, may I have one?”
Lin Sui didn't look at him: "No, that's all."
Xiao Jin was taken aback, looking at the one she still had in her hand: "This isn't..."
"this is mine."
Yu Ci smiled and took the last amulet, her fingertips brushing against Lin Sui's palm like feathers.
Even he believed Lin Sui's nonsense. Lin Siyao couldn't help but frown: "You'd better think this through. If you really encounter danger, you might miss the best time to escape because of this fictitious talisman!"
Upon hearing this, Si Xingran looked at her with surprise.
Lin Suixin's heart skipped a beat.
The novel emphasizes that the heroine's intelligence makes her like a shining star, constantly tempting people to pluck her.
Could Si Xingran already be attracted to her?
Will that affect her winning the prize money?
The team that first uncovers the truth behind the ghost story will get 20 million!
But then Si Xingran burst into exaggerated laughter: "No way, no way, you don't really think you're the smartest one and we're all idiots who can't even make the most basic judgments, and when danger comes, we just sit there and wait to die, right?"
Lin Siyao did think so, after all, she was the only transmigrator in the book, so naturally she would have more of her own thoughts than these two fictional characters.
Being called out in public still made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
Her eyes darted away: "I just wanted to remind you that you don't have to appreciate it, so why are you being so aggressive?"
"Is this what you call being aggressive?" Si Xingran spread his hands. "Then you can consider it as me being aggressive."
Duan Xuchi finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull Lin Siyao aside: "Forget it, good advice is useless against a damned ghost. Let's go."
As the two left, the rest of their group followed.
The great battle sparked by Lin Sui has finally come to an end...
This must be what they call a femme fatale.
[Waaaa, Star, Mommy only allows you to get into this moment, just for a little while, okay?]
[Emm…this is hard to say. I'm on Lin Siyao's side. My good intentions were met with ingratitude; I'm the one who feels wronged to death!]
[All I can say is that Si Xingran and his group are incredibly stupid, like they've never been educated.]
Yes, yes, you're educated, so you can bark like a dog!
[Hey, do you know the saying, "It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't"? Besides, whether you believe it or not is a personal choice; why are you lecturing me?]
Inside a makeshift tent by the lotus pond, Director Wu, having watched the entire process on a monitor, pondered for a long time before dialing Qi Yan's number again.
