I heard that I’ll be super fierce after my death

Chapter 55: What the First Floor Said, Was Right

What situation was it if she said that the lift was full?

Ordinarily, it meant that many humans would crowd within. The space would be extremely limited, and everyone would be jostling each other. The available space to move around would only be suited to perform very minor actions like twiddling one’s toes, etc. All types of smells from different perfumes, packets of breakfasts, saliva, farts would mix together. It was basically a type of torture.

However, right now Lin Wu would rather be squeezed in the center with ten fair, long-legged beauties instead of waiting alone in this ‘full’ lift.

To humans, the lift was empty.

But to a ghost like Xiao Qin, the lift was full. If she forcefully squeezed in, her ‘ghost essence’ would automatically seep out.

“Cough, cough.”

Lin Wu felt his fine hair standing on their end as the lift slowly rose. He couldn’t help but cough loudly to embolden himself.

He also didn’t know if it was a psychological effect or his uncanny perceptivity, but right now, he felt as though there were many pairs of eyes around him, and they were all staring at him.

Being surrounded by a bunch of ghosts… Lin Wu couldn’t help but be scared witless.

However, ordinary ghosts shouldn’t pose any problems, right?

1st floor, 2nd floor…

The lift slowly went up, while Lin Wu took out his phone and was preparing to refresh his Moments. He didn’t want to scare himself.

“Mn?”

All of a sudden, Lin Wu felt a burst of coldness above him. He inclined his head to see…

Nothing.

However, his instincts told him that something was staring at him from there.

Lin Wu’s heart clenched. He hurriedly pressed the 4th-floor button, feeling a little scared. He didn’t dare to continue remaining inside the lift.

However…

“Wu!”

At the next instant, Lin Wu felt a sudden sense of pressure on his neck. There seemed to be a pair of hands trying to choke him.

(Who is it?)

Lin Wu barely managed to turn his head, and his gaze swept toward the walls of the lift. The bronze alloy covering the walls, which were as smooth as a mirror, reflected his current appearance.

Right now, above him, there was a girl with a ghastly pale face that was bleeding from seven apertures. Her broken legs were twisted, and she was hanging from the ceiling headfirst.

When she looked at Lin Wu, she opened her mouth and screamed silently, like she was roaring at him. Her ghastly pale hands were currently placed around his throat, intent on choking him.

It was Xia Bing!!!

Lin Wu’s pupils involuntarily narrowed.

Ever since Pei Jianing took Xia Bing’s ring, the connection between him and Xia Bing had been broken. He could only sense her existence but couldn’t see her.

He didn’t expect that after Xia Bing had been injured so badly by Pei Jianing, she still dared to come and kill him!

Before the feeling of being stifled surfaced, Lin Wu lifted his phone with difficulty, preparing to call Shi Qiuhong.

However, at the instant he lifted his phone, the screen suddenly turned bright. Marks akin to water ripples formed on the screen, and a fair, slender arm drilled out abruptly from it.

There was no noise at all.

However, from the reflection of the lift’s walls, Lin Wu could see that Xia Bing’s throat was grabbed by this arm. After that, the hand did a twisting motion…

Her neck was abruptly twisted 180 degrees to the back. Xia Bing’s ghastly face was filled with agony and pain as wisps of green smoke rose from it. After that, her body became increasingly illusory and transparent; only a faint shadow was left of her existence, which also vanished soon after.

“Hu~”

The pressure on Lin Wu’s neck instantly vanished. He couldn’t help but pant loudly.

As for the slender hand that drilled out from his phone screen, it also retracted back in.

Lin Wu finally heaved a sigh of relief, totally not expecting that the ghost reader would save his life in such a situation.

“Liuli?” He glanced at his handphone screen and involuntarily called out.

At the next second, rosy red lips materialized on it as a melodious and slightly hoarse voice rang out, “Sir author, you have to take note of your safety. If you die, you won’t have any way to update the novel any longer.”

Lin Wu was astonished. So this was the reason why she saved him?

It seemed like he actually had a bodyguard with him all this while…

“Thank you.”

Lin Wu was filled with heartfelt gratitude. “No matter what, you saved me once.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that Liuli was a ghost and Lin Wu was worried about offending her, he would have leaned forward and kissed the beautiful lips on his phone screen right now.

“Will you increase the rate of your updates?” Liuli was still concerned about this question.

Lin Wu smiled as he nodded. “Sure!”

The lips on the screen continued, “Sir author, you must work hard. I’ve already finished reading your novel for the 483rd time. However, I’m a little angry today and want to find one of your readers to teach him a lesson. Is this allowed?”

“Oh, what happened?” Lin Wu also wasn’t in a hurry to walk out of the lift.

Liu Li continued in a soft voice, “Isn’t your female lead a crippled person with amputated limbs? There’s a reader with no humanity at all. He actually commented that after the female lead is fitted with prosthetics, no men would want to hug or bang her. Such a comment is simply inhumane. The female lead is already so pitiful. Could it be that he doesn’t have any sympathy?”

“Emmmm…”

Lin Wu speechlessly touched his notes. Some of the readers would often comment on whatever they wanted to, and he could do nothing about them.

“What’s even more disgusting is that…” Liuli continued to speak, “There are actually many readers agreeing that the first comment was correct; over a hundred replies are agreeing to it. I can no longer bear to look at the comments. Sir author, can you permit me to teach them a lesson?”

“Cough, this isn’t too good, right?”

“Why don’t you give a tiny miny punishment to the reader who posted the first comment and just give him a slight scare? Please be sure not to overdo it.”

“Thank you, sir author. I’ve already observed that person. He likes to watch some unhealthy channels. Tonight, when he is watching them, I’m going to appear from his screen to scare him,” Liuli spoke.

“…”

Lin Wu did a moment of silence, in tribute for the reader. Hopefully, that reader would still be able to get erected after this.

“What about those readers who feel that the first comment was right?” Liuli asked again, “Their thoughts are not proper, and they ought to be slightly punished too, right?”

“Cough, that’s where you are wrong.” Lin Wu coughed and spoke, “The nature of humans is that of repeater machines. As long as someone said something, many would jump on the same train of thought and agree.”

“Is that so?” Liuli’s tone was filled with some confusion. She then added, “But I’m still unhappy. Those smelly males are too bad.”

Lin Wu perspired silently. Luckily, he didn’t take the lead by posing such comments.

However, this ghost reader had just saved him earlier. In the future, he might still need to depend on her for help. Therefore, Lin Wu couldn’t afford to let her feel unhappy.

“Oh, so this is the case.”

Lin Wu’s heart stirred. He had an idea. “I will go and delete the first comment. These readers feel proud of stacking on one comment and love to do so. If I delete the first comment, they will discover that their actions are useless and will surely be depressed because they wasted time.”

“Thank you, sir author, for your understanding, please work hard in updating the novel.”

After speaking the last sentence, Liuli’s lips vanished from his phone screen.
