Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - Chapter 58

[Although I’ve already trimmed down the Bullet Comments this time, it still feels a bit much, so I wrote a few hundred extra words-full of survival instinct (..???..)]

Ding-

The moment the little TV updated its content.

Jin Zhuang on the bus, along with many viewers, all noticed.

When they turned their gaze to it-

It would have been better if they hadn’t looked.

Because at that moment,

They were almost stunned on the spot!

Jin Zhuang and some of the viewers were so shocked they stood up right where they were!

Visually, the sudden impact was like a temple bell, striking every nerve in their bodies!

Their eyes widened, mouths agape enough to fit a whole duck egg-showing just how shocked they were!

Jin Zhuang and some viewers rubbed their eyes, hardly able to believe what they saw, suspecting they were just too tired and seeing things.

But after rubbing their eyes, when they looked again at the content on the little TV-

[Zhu Wei has been eliminated. His identity: Ordinary Passenger.]

[An Zhuzi has been eliminated. His identity: Fierce Ghost!]

On the little TV, two lines of regular script stood out sharply!

They weren’t seeing things!

They hadn’t misread!

At that moment, a tidal wave surged in the hearts of viewers in every Live Stream Room!!!

The drag queen they always thought was a good person turned out to be the ghost!

And not just any ghost, but a Fierce Ghost, just below the Vengeful Ghost!

And the fat guy they thought was the ghost was actually a good person!

The sudden reversal was like a flood, washing away all their sadness!

“Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Are you kidding me?! How could the drag queen be a Fierce Ghost! This makes no sense! I don’t believe it!!”

“I’m basking in the sun, but now I feel like I’ve fallen into an ice cave! The drag queen is actually the ghost?! How could this happen! No wonder I always felt something was off before! So this is why!”

“What a terrifying ghost! If that ghost hadn’t saved the little girl, the ghost side would’ve won for sure!”

“Now that you mention it, I’m reminded-the drag queen had a guaranteed win, so why did he go save the little girl? If he’d let her get chopped in half, then killed Jin Zhuang after dark, it would’ve been over!”

“Giving up a sure win to save the little girl-why did the drag queen do that? And now that I think about it, he’s always protected the little girl!”

“Waaah! Drag queen, you deceived my feelings! You kept all of us in the dark! You betrayed our trust! But I’ll keep my word! I’m going to smash all my mom’s lipsticks to vent!”

While viewers in every Live Stream Room were boiling over and exploding-

Only the viewers in Su Xiaoxiao’s Live Stream Room were a bit different from the others.

“Yoshi! The moment I saw the drag queen’s identity, as an old fan I instantly knew why he always protected Xiaoxiao, hahaha.”

“When I saw the drag queen die saving our girl, I was almost moved to tears, but you’re a ghost?! Are you playing with me?!”

“Sis, you’re not alone-I cried too, then suddenly this twist hit me! I’m really done!”

“The drag queen was so good to Xiaoxiao. If he’s a ghost, then I get it. Xiaoxiao, don’t be sad, the drag queen is a ghost-he won’t die from this!”

“Uh, the drag queen is a ghost-aren’t you guys shocked? And if he’s a ghost, with a guaranteed win, why did he save the streamer? Aren’t you curious?”

“Bro, from your comment I can tell you’re new. I suggest you catch up on Xiaoxiao’s replays or search for her videos online when you have time.”

“Oh, oh, thank you! You’re really nice.”

At this moment, Jin Zhuang, looking unwilling to accept reality, plopped back into his seat.

In his mind, the image of the drag queen surfaced uncontrollably.

Why are you a Fierce Ghost?

Why are you a Fierce Ghost?

Why couldn’t you just be a truly good person?!

Jin Zhuang turned to look at the drag queen’s half body, only to find it had vanished.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

“Friend, I truly never expected you to be the ghost. You really fooled me.”

Because it was dark, Su Xiaoxiao, forced to sit back in her seat, was still reeling from the shock that the drag queen had died saving her.
At that moment, she heard Jin Zhuang speak and suddenly looked up at the small TV.

After seeing clearly what was on the small TV, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that half of the old sister-in-law’s (Lao Saozi/An Zhuzi) body had disappeared.

For a split second, Su Xiaoxiao’s emotions were like a roller coaster, doing a full 360° spin!

An Zhuzi isn’t human, but a Ghost?!

If he’s a Ghost, does that mean he can’t die?!

That was the first thing Su Xiaoxiao thought of.

Right away, Su Xiaoxiao called out to 9527 in her mind.

9527, who had always been keeping an eye on Su Xiaoxiao, immediately responded.

“Xiaoxiao, I know what you want to ask. He’s not dead, just eliminated from this round of the game.”

Su Xiaoxiao instantly felt relieved when she heard this. If An Zhuzi is a Ghost and can’t die, that’s fine then.

Her heart gradually calmed down. She knew that except for her parents, no normal person would risk themselves to save her.

What would they get out of it? Do they want to die like she does?

Su Xiaoxiao mocked herself inwardly, then asked, “9527, can you tell me why these Ghosts don’t kill me, and instead treat me so well?”

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to know why An Zhuzi, Death Clown, Chainsaw Blood Soul, and the other Ghosts were all so kind to her.

In the void, 9527 was struggling.

Xiaoxiao actually remembers my name! She even called me by my name!

Just as 9527 was about to speak, its expression suddenly changed.

It had just been warned by its superior!

Damn, why is that old bastard of a boss watching over here too!

In the end, 9527 refused with some regret: “I really can’t tell you this right now, Xiaoxiao.”

9527 quickly added, “But I can tell you one thing: if one day your settlement score reaches SSS level, you can use the reward to ask the officials one question, and at that time the officials will tell you the answer!”

“So Xiaoxiao, even if you’re seeking to die, I hope you take every game seriously. The better you perform, the higher your score will be.”

Su Xiaoxiao understood what 9527 meant and replied, “I’ll try.”

At that moment, she had a new goal in mind.

The first goal, of course, was to seek death and become a Ghost.

The second goal was to do her best before dying to get an SSS settlement score, so she could figure out why the Ghosts were so good to her.

At this point, Su Xiaoxiao still had no idea how hard it would be to achieve an SSS settlement score!

Suddenly thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao continued to say to 9527, “By the way, you can call me Xiaoxiao, but please don’t add ‘baby’.”

“Okay, Xiaoxiao baby!”

Su Xiaoxiao: ……

Right then, Su Xiaoxiao was surprised to notice that the scene outside the bus had changed. It was no longer an endless yellow desert.

The 404 bus had driven into a small town.

This small town was the Desert Ghost Town.

In Su Xiaoxiao’s view, outside the bus were all sorts of strange Ghosts-Ghosts with many eyeballs, Ghosts with many legs, Ghosts carrying their own heads-busy with their own affairs just like humans.

She even saw a scene where several humans were being eaten by more than a dozen Ghosts.

There were also quite a few humans working as waiters, serving dishes to the Ghosts and so on.

Those must be players, right?

As Su Xiaoxiao stared with curiosity, the bus came to a stop, and she heard the voice of the Ghost driver.

“We’ve arrived at the destination, the game is over. You got lucky this time, now get lost.”

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw the Ghost driver looking at Jin Zhuang with an impatient face.

Jin Zhuang said nothing, just got off the bus in silence. As soon as he stepped down, a flash of white light appeared and he vanished on the spot.

At the same time, all the other Live Stream Rooms except Su Xiaoxiao’s were closed.

As for those who died, their Live Stream Rooms would never light up again after this round.

Jin Zhuang didn’t know that after he left, the Ghost driver-whose face had been full of murderous, strange impatience-suddenly did a complete 180° in attitude.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was about to get off too, he turned into a warm, enthusiastic uncle and quickly called out to her.

“Hey~ Xiaoxiao, wait, don’t get off yet~ An Zhuzi asked me to give you something.”
