Chapter 358 - 360: The Truth 1
"This man is already dead. After becoming a wandering spirit, he stumbled upon some fated opportunity."
"He cultivated some power, and when his young grandson came to visit his grave, the man’s greed for a second chance at youth took over. He began tormenting the boy in his dreams, day in and day out."
"When his grandson was mentally exhausted and vulnerable, the man’s soul entered the boy’s body. He seized the living vessel and, in effect, became his own grandson."
What Su Nian said was a little convoluted, but the viewers in the livestream all understood.
[That’s disgusting. He ruined his own grandson for his own selfish desires.]
[So he basically became his own grandson?]
[Then what does this have to do with Ming Yue?]
Su Nian explained with a complicated look on her face.
"Those two were love-crazed. When one of them died, the other immediately committed suicide to follow."
"Now that they see a chance to live again, they’ve decided to enjoy all the things they couldn’t when they were young. That’s why this is happening."
Understanding the implications of Su Nian’s words, the viewers in the livestream also had conflicted expressions.
[These love-crazed people are so infuriating. They’re already dead and they’re still pulling this crap.]
[They’re both dead, so why can’t they just have a ghost romance?]
[And to harm his own grandson, too! I feel so bad for the poor kid, he didn’t deserve any of this!]
[At least with his grandson, he’s harming his own family. Ming Yue is the one who’s truly unlucky!]
[This is beyond unlucky, she’s the biggest victim ever!!]
[How can two old people be so depraved? Unbelievable!]
Su Nian continued to explain.
"They specifically chose today. The ghost energy is at its peak, allowing even common ghosts to move about freely, and the Dark Aura is incredibly thick."
"Those two old geezers plan to devour Ming Yue’s soul, so the old woman can possess her body."
Su Nian’s tone was perfectly calm, but the viewers were grinding their teeth in fury.
[They’ve really got it all figured out. They get to rekindle their romance, and all it costs are the bodies of two young people.]
[I’m so pissed! Host, you should just reach through the screen and give them a couple of hard slaps!]
[I’m ordering a "slashing" service on Temu!]
[Let me do it! As a new user, my slashes are bigger!]
Hearing this, Ming Yue felt a chill run down her spine.
’My soul could actually be devoured by those two... things?’
She might not have reacted much if she had simply died suddenly.
But to be deliberately targeted in such a disgusting way—for them to devour her soul just so that old woman could take her place...
No wonder. No wonder the way that old woman looked at her when she first arrived today felt so wrong.
She had looked so satisfied, even saying how beautiful Ming Yue was, that she was ’just her type.’
At the time, she’d just thought it was a compliment from an elder, but now she knew the truth.
’So from the very beginning, I was chosen to be the vessel for her soul.’
When she thought about all the times her "boyfriend" had praised her beauty while they were dating...
...and all the sweet nothings he’d whispered, a wave of revulsion washed over her.
Her supposedly perfect boyfriend had actually been planning all along to use her body as a vessel for his wife’s soul.
Just the thought of it made Ming Yue feel cold to the bone, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
Su Nian glanced at her phone. It was still several hours until midnight.
"Get some rest. I’ll wake you when it’s time."
Time ticked by, and soon, there were only about ten minutes left until midnight.
During this time, the two ghosts outside had also let their guard down.
The viewers could even hear the ghosts’ voices coming through the screen.
Their voices were filled with smug confidence, as if they believed everything was under their control and that Ming Yue had no chance of escape.
"Wife, remember to grab a few extra peach branches. It’s going to hurt a little at the beginning."
"Later, you’ll need to whip the body with the peach branches to help the soul merge with it more completely."
"Alright, I will!"
Even with its dry, raspy quality, everyone could detect a hint of sweetness in the voice.
The ghost was actually teaching the old woman how to use her new body.
The sweet, loving display between the two ghosts was bizarre and unsettling, but they were completely oblivious, still discussing the finer details.
"Oh, and that list of things I wrote down for you—make sure you study it carefully! I spent a long time observing her to figure out all her little quirks! Whatever you do, don’t blow your cover!"
