Free Web NovelChapter 394: Chapter 396: Heavenly Dao
The scene changed in a flash. After lagging for several minutes, the livestream finally stabilized, and netizens began to pour in.
They were shocked to see the sudden change in scenery.
[What’s going on?]
[Something’s not right. It’s a trap!]
[That guy looks just like the man in the suit from the bus.]
[Has our streamer turned into this kid?]
[Definitely. I know our streamer well, and that’s her exact expression!]
[Even as a kid, she’s as badass as ever!]
[Why does it feel like we’re at the scene of domestic violence? Weren’t we just on a bus? This is so weird.]
Su Nian moved so quickly and suddenly that the two people in the scene didn’t have time to react.
The man was smashed to the ground, his head ringing.
His mind went fuzzy. He shook his head, and a murky liquid trickled down.
Numbly, he clutched his throbbing head and stared dazedly at the small figure before him, as if he still couldn’t process what had just happened.
Su Nian’s mind, however, snapped back in an instant. ’They think they can trap me with a measly illusion like this?’
Death is the ultimate form of torture. If she wasn’t mistaken, the ghosts on the bus were part of a setup aimed specifically at her.
Everyone on the bus was a ghost. When they realized physical attacks were useless against her, they decided to try a mental one instead.
They were trying to influence her with the pain and resentment they felt before their deaths.
Too bad for them, Su Nian wasn’t falling for it. Her eyes were cold and indifferent.
"You think you can affect me this way?"
She looked at the man with more disgust than she would have for a maggot in a cesspool. "So, you’re a domestic abuser? And now you’re a ghost?"
The pressure from Su Nian’s gaze was so intense that the man actually shuddered.
’This plan was in the works for so long. How could it possibly go wrong?’
According to the script, the man was supposed to be killed by the woman in front of him; that was the reason he became a ghost.
His plan was to make Su Nian witness the scene of his death over and over, inflicting psychological trauma on her. And if that didn’t work...
...he would trap Su Nian in the illusion, materialize as a ghost, and torment her day and night. As long as he drove her mad, he could complete the mission he’d been given.
He couldn’t let this bitch keep destroying the order among the spirits.
Su Nian sneered and grabbed him by the hair. The illusion was woven with incredible realism, perfectly replicating the inside of a home.
Broken furniture was strewn everywhere. The woman on the floor reacted quickly, too. She shot Su Nian a confused look, her mouth agape in terror.
But before she could speak, Su Nian kicked the man to the ground. Then, she viciously raised her foot and stomped on his face.
She even ground her foot into it, and soon the man’s large, sallow face was covered in shoe prints.
[I’m starting to think this streamer is just violent no matter where she goes!]
[So what’s actually happening? I’m still a little lost!]
It wasn’t just the netizens who were confused; even the Daoists were baffled.
Just then, a familiar voice rang out in Su Nian’s mind.
[Side Quest Activated: Evade the Heavenly Dao’s Pursuit!]
After a long silence, the system had finally issued Su Nian another quest.
Su Nian understood. The Heavenly Dao was trying to erase her.
According to the natural laws of this world, it was supposed to be gradually consumed by spirits. But Su Nian had suddenly interfered.
She was livestreaming every day, dealing with countless spirits, and the Heavenly Dao could no longer stand by and watch.
To the Heavenly Dao of this world, Su Nian was like a virus, a bug that had suddenly appeared. And now, it wanted to erase her completely.
Naturally, Su Nian wasn’t about to let herself be erased just like that.
Her expression cold, she lifted the man from under her foot with one hand, her fingers closing around his neck. With just a slight squeeze, she made him begin to struggle helplessly.
He had become a ghost after death. Even so, his physical body still only possessed the strength of a normal human; he was no match for Su Nian at all.
The man’s face twisted. ’Isn’t she just some ordinary little girl?’
’So what if she knows a few Taoist Skills? Even if she saw through the illusion, how could this be happening? How could she just lift me up like this?’
A girl who looked about ten years old was now single-handedly holding up a man who weighed nearly 180 pounds.
Su Nian grinned, flashing a perfect, eight-toothed smile.
"My strength is the least of my talents. It’s no surprise whoever sent you didn’t mention it."
