Free Web NovelChapter 389: Chapter 391: Brawl
As if summoned, the Ghost Baby turned and glared fiercely at the agent.
A smile stretched across the agent’s face as she squeezed Jiang Tianxin’s neck. Her grip tightened as Jiang Tianxin struggled.
The agent’s face twisted into a distorted expression.
"Why won’t you just die quietly?"
As she spoke, she tightened her grip again.
Jiang Tianxin felt the air grow thin. She couldn’t breathe. Her eyes widened in defiance as her hands struggled weakly, trying to pull the agent’s away.
But the agent’s strength only grew, and her eyes bulged, looking bizarre and terrifying.
Jiang Tianxin’s breaths grew fainter. She was about to die, and she couldn’t accept it.
But there was no one to save her. A look of satisfaction appeared on the agent’s face.
"What’s the use of struggling? You’re going to die anyway. You might as well cooperate and suffer a little less."
Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Tianxin, so she didn’t notice the ghost that had been clinging to the back of her head.
It began to stir, then suddenly leaped onto the agent’s back. It let out a vicious, shrill cry and sank its teeth savagely into her shoulder and neck.
"AHH!"
The agent cried out in pain, her hand instinctively loosening its grip. Jiang Tianxin gasped for air, clutching her neck and stumbling backward helplessly.
She stared in terror at the person before her.
But the agent was now locked in a struggle with the vicious Ghost Baby.
"What’s going on?"
Jiang Tianxin clutched her neck, asking in unconscious astonishment.
But she also saw her chance and began to slowly make her way out.
"The Ghost Baby wants to devour you, and your agent wants to devour you, too. The two of them are fighting over their prey."
Jiang Tianxin froze for a moment, then quickened her pace. She obviously understood that *she* was the prey.
She stumbled out, her voice choked with tears as she asked.
"What... what should I do?"
She was in a complete panic. The agent she had always trusted had been harboring such malicious intent, just waiting for her to die.
And the Ghost Baby she had been worshipping like a god of wealth also wanted to devour her.
Su Nian’s tone was calm, her beautiful eyes showing no emotional fluctuation from start to finish. "You can go to the local police station and file a report."
’The police station? File a report?’
Jiang Tianxin’s face scrunched up in confusion.
’This fortune-telling master is saying some weird things.’
"What for? The police station?"
Su Nian explained, "The country has added special personnel in charge of ghosts and spirits. Someone there will help you."
This was also because Su Nian’s online reputation was growing. Many supernatural incidents were coming to light, the Taoist Association was expanding, and police stations had gradually begun recruiting some Daoists.
"Even setting aside the supernatural aspect, her attempt to murder you is a real crime. Attempted murder will land her in prison for a few years. That’s a minor issue."
As if only half-understanding, Jiang Tianxin nodded hurriedly and rushed into the police station.
Once at the station, she didn’t forget to tell the police about her young assistant back at the house, whose condition was unknown.
[Yeah, yeah, don’t forget about the assistant! She was so loyal, waiting for her all that time.]
[Right, right, the assistant might not be the brightest, but she was really good to Jiang Tianxin.]
Meanwhile, Jiang Tianxin’s phone ran out of battery and was forced to shut down, taking her offline.
Su Nian could see that her life was no longer in danger.
So, she prepared to start the next lucky draw.
[I want to win! I want to see if my bestie is a good person or a bad person.]
[Most people don’t run into situations like this, right?]
[Not necessarily. I was just remarking on how lucky Jiang Tianxin was to have such a god-tier agent. Who knew the agent actually wanted her dead?]
But Su Nian had already quietly sent out a lucky packet.
A red lucky packet began to bounce on the screen. The quick-fingered viewers had already reached for it, but most were still busy discussing the last incident.
[Streamer, why did you send out the lucky packet already?]
[This just goes to show you have to pay attention! As soon as Jiang Tianxin’s thing was over, I was staring at the screen, just waiting to grab a lucky packet!]
[Too bad you still didn’t get it!]
[Congratulations to I Love Work for grabbing the streamer’s lucky packet!]
[I Love Work??]
Many viewers were puzzled by this username.
Su Nian first sent a private message to ask for permission. After getting the other party’s consent, she initiated a video call.
Soon, a girl appeared on the screen. She looked a bit tired, wearing a white blouse, her hair in a low ponytail, and a pair of glasses.
Her surroundings were a bit noisy, but her eyes lit up the moment she saw the screen.
"I really won!"
Her voice rose in surprise.
The people around her glanced over. Judging by her background, she seemed to be on a bus, and the vehicle was a bit bumpy.
[You can tell she’s a corporate drone at a glance!]
[Corporate drones these days are so insincere, huh? I Love Work??]
[Oh my god, this girl has it rough. It’s so late and she’s only just now taking the bus home.]
After saying that, I Love Work quickly covered her mouth.
She was a bit embarrassed, seeing the bullet comments questioning her sincerity.
She gave a small laugh, seeming very good-natured.
"I used to use this account to comment about my boss, but he found out. Afterward, I was afraid of attracting his attention, so I changed my username."
[A suffering corporate drone, indeed!]
[Sigh, that’s so tough. A working stiff who’s just getting off work now!]
Seeing everyone in the comments saying how pitiful her life was, I Love Work quickly explained.
"It’s not usually like this. I used to get off work pretty early. There’s just been a lot of work recently, so I’ve had to work overtime. But it’ll be fine after this week."
I Love Work whispered into her phone.
She looked a little awkward, worried about drawing the attention of the other passengers on the bus again.
But as she spoke, a hint of pride crept into her expression.
"I’m on the bus right now. I’m so lucky. I just tapped it randomly, and I can’t believe I actually won."
[Aaaah, stop talking, I’m dying of jealousy!]
[I’m not listening, I’m not listening! Anyone who can grab the streamer’s lucky packet must be an unlucky person.]
[Right, right, right! I don’t want to be that unlucky person. If you want it, you can have it. I’m one of the chosen lucky ones!]
I Love Work understood the viewers’ insincerity perfectly. She chuckled and sent Su Nian the divination fee.
The gift’s special effects began to bloom—one small, sparkling firework after another.
More viewers followed her lead and sent Su Nian small gifts as well.
But as this beautiful light illuminated Su Nian’s face, her expression was grim.
Su Nian looked at I Love Work, her brow gradually furrowing.
The girl’s face was wreathed in black energy, and what’s more, this black mist filled the entire bus.
"Pan the camera around."
The girl was confused, but she did as Su Nian said and panned the camera around.
This time, Su Nian’s expression grew even more grave.
Her usually profound eyes were now tinged with a hint of urgency.
On this bus, everyone’s face was shrouded in black energy.
There would be a major, bloody disaster tonight. Everyone on the bus would be dead in ten minutes.
