Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 18

“This doll is pretty good, it looks great!”

Compared to Su Xiaoxiao’s silence, the other Ghosts all looked amazed.

“It really is a nice surprise. This doll fits my aesthetic perfectly!”

“This doll is so lifelike, especially that unique face and twisted body. Not bad, not bad!”

“Who would’ve thought, Playful Ghost, that you were so crafty! Do you take custom orders? Price is no issue, I want one too.”

The Ghosts around Su Xiaoxiao, including Death Clown, all looked appreciatively at the front.

Playful Ghost’s lips curled up in confidence.

This human doll was her proudest creation.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao, her mood cheerful, and said, “Xiaoxiao, how do you feel? Surprised? This is my masterpiece, and from now on, it’s yours!”

Su Xiaoxiao was silent: ……

She wanted to ask, could she refuse?

The doll in front of her had a strange appearance: one arm big, one small, one leg thick, one thin, two hollow black eyes that looked odd, and it was stained with blood, exuding a bloody smell.

At first glance, it looked like some kind of deformed creature straight out of a horror movie.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the doll and listened to the Ghosts around her praising it. Luckily, she had never held out hope, so she would never be disappointed.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao clearly understood: the aesthetic sense of Ghosts and that of humans are the same, but also a bit different.

: “Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. This so-called surprise is more like a fright.”

: “Look at Xiaoxiao’s face carefully. Even through the screen, I can feel her speechlessness.”

: “I was expecting some big surprise, but it’s just this ugly, creepy doll?”

: “I was too naive. This surprise almost sent me away. Looking at this doll gave me an uncanny valley effect.”

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao’s Live Stream Room was also very lively.

Playful Ghost looked at the still-silent Su Xiaoxiao, her face puzzled.

Why wasn’t Xiaoxiao saying anything?

Did Xiaoxiao like it, or not?

Playful Ghost asked, “Xiaoxiao, I’m giving you this doll. Are you happy?”

Su Xiaoxiao shifted her gaze from the doll to Playful Ghost’s face.

The other party meant well, so Su Xiaoxiao felt she shouldn’t be too blunt. She tactfully declined, “No need, you keep it.”

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao said this,

The Ghosts present weren’t fools. They immediately realized Su Xiaoxiao didn’t like the doll.

They all looked shocked.

Such a high-quality doll-they all wanted to keep it for themselves. Who would’ve thought Su Xiaoxiao would refuse?!

Compared to the Ghosts’ shock, Playful Ghost was even more incredulous.

Xiaoxiao didn’t want it?

Xiaoxiao didn’t like the doll?

But this was her masterpiece!

At this moment, among the dozen or so Ghosts, Death Clown was the first to react.

He slapped his forehead, thinking he’d been careless.

He had just been amazed by the quality of the doll and had overlooked the fact that Xiaoxiao was still human, and her aesthetic was completely different from theirs.

The doll looked great to them, but to Su Xiaoxiao, it must have been terrible.

“Ahem.” Death Clown made a sound to draw everyone’s attention, then spoke gently to Su Xiaoxiao, as if reminding the other Ghosts as well.

“Xiaoxiao, you’re still human. It’s normal that you don’t want this kind of thing. Let’s go back. By my calculations, you’re leaving today. Uncle will really miss you.”

As he spoke, Death Clown patted Su Xiaoxiao’s head, his eyes full of reluctance.
As for whether Death Clown’s feelings are real or not, only he himself knows.

As soon as Death Clown finished speaking, Playful Ghost and the other Ghosts also reacted one after another.

Playful Ghost rubbed her hands together, looking a bit embarrassed. Then she patted her chest and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, you may not like it now, but you might think it’s nice in the future. I’ll keep it safe for you!”

Playful Ghost’s words were directed at Su Xiaoxiao, but also served as a warning to the other Ghosts.

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want it now, after Xiaoxiao leaves, none of you should think about taking the doll. It’s reserved for Su Xiaoxiao in the future.

A few Ghosts immediately showed regret in their eyes. They had been planning to ask for the doll later.

But since Playful Ghost said so, they naturally didn’t dare to make a move.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Playful Ghost. She actually wanted to say there was no need to keep it for her, but seeing the sincere goodwill Playful Ghost was showing, Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and chose to remain silent.

When she dies and becomes a ghost, looking at the doll then, her mindset will surely be different from now.

“All right, everyone, Xiaoxiao is leaving today. Let’s use the time we have left to throw a party!” Death Clown clapped his hands, making the final decision.

Death Clown is Su Xiaoxiao’s Captain, so naturally he knows Su Xiaoxiao will be leaving in three days.

This so-called party is actually more like a farewell party for Su Xiaoxiao.

Almost all the Ghosts in the building came to attend.

It could truly be called a Hundred Ghosts Night Banquet, with the protagonist being a human little girl!

Su Xiaoxiao sat in the center seat, with Death Clown and Staircase Skeleton Ghost-the two strongest in the building-seated on either side of her.

Out of consideration for Su Xiaoxiao, all the Ghosts ate human food.

Otherwise, at a normal Ghosts’ gathering, the dishes would be things like stir-fried eyeballs, spicy lung slices, blood-dripping tongues, roasted children, and other bloody, terrifying foods.

: “New here, what’s going on? So many ghosts eating with the streamer?!”

: “New viewers, look at the live stream screen. Isn’t there a banner over there? Hundred Ghosts Night Banquet, Farewell to Xiaoxiao. This is a farewell party for Xiaoxiao.”

: “Damn! Also new here, I heard she’s a girl who’s been through all kinds of violence, but what’s this situation now? What kind of status does the streamer have? So many ghosts eating with her!”

: “Guys! Big breakthrough in Xiaoxiao’s personal situation, she’s trending on all platforms!”

The scene around Su Xiaoxiao was lively, and the Live Stream Room was just as bustling.

In the end-

Playful Ghost looked at Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly and shouted, “Xiaoxiao, you mustn’t forget me in the future!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at all the Ghosts with complicated feelings. Under their gaze, accompanied by a flash of white light, Su Xiaoxiao disappeared from where she stood.

And after Su Xiaoxiao disappeared-

Staircase Skeleton Ghost squeezed Death Clown’s hand, his face full of shock, and said, “Brother Clown, did you see that just now? Xiaoxiao’s pitch-black soul seemed to have improved a little!”

Death Clown was a bit speechless. “I saw it, but why are you squeezing me? Looking for a beating?”

Staircase Skeleton Ghost winked. “Brother Clown, don’t pretend. I know your secret.”

Then, Staircase Skeleton Ghost leaned in and whispered something in Death Clown’s ear.

No one knew what he said, but Death Clown’s expression changed, and the two ghosts returned together to Room 101.

Thanks to Su Xiaoxiao, Liu Fei and Zhou Qian also spent their last moments in the room safely.

Before leaving, Liu Fei’s only regret was not getting to know Su Xiaoxiao.

He wondered if he’d ever have the chance to meet her again.

……….

ps: Question-what secret did Staircase Skeleton Ghost discover about Death Clown, hehe
