Chapter 196: Pitiful

Zheng You’s mouth was faster than her brain. After hemming and hawing for a few seconds, she suddenly had an idea and quickly said, “The production team’s also set up such a plot before. There was a guest who partic.i.p.ated in the show with an ident.i.ty. He laid in ambush and was only exposed in the end.”
The more she spoke, the more she felt that it was true. “Bai Lin is the same. She must know all the details of the background of this story. Otherwise, how could she know when the village chief will appear?
Bai Lin did not explain the last point. No one else knew the reason, so it was very convincing.
Ye Xing looked hesitant. “Then, does that mean that Bai Lin and the old man are in cahoots?”
Zheng You continued, “That’s right. The old man’s so scary, but Bai Lin turned a blind eye to it. She must’ve read about the old man before and knows that he wouldn’t hurt her. That’s why she’s so calm.”
The others felt that something was wrong, but they could not tell what it was.
They were faintly convinced.
Other than Li Xuan and Yan Ruo, the others decided to listen to Zheng You’s instructions and scatter some cat food in every house. Then, they would guard a few houses each and wait for the opportunity to catch the black cat.
[Zheng You’s brain is really weird. Bai Lin isn’t afraid of the old man because she’s bold.]
[I’m dying of laughter. Bai Lin is smart and guesses everything correctly. It’s just that she didn’t have time to explain it to you. How can this be the basis for Zheng You to slander her? Zheng You is at her wit’s end, isn’t she?] [I feel like my Lin-jie and Zheng You are playing a different game…]
[Regardless of whether Bai Lin’s deduction is right or not, I only know that Zheng You’s definitely wrong.]
[But I think what Zheng You said makes sense. She knows so much, but she doesn’t explain the reasoning process. It’s indeed like she took the script and played us here.]
[Hey, hurry up and go to Lin-jie’s livestream. Fan-doting Lin-jie is explaining live.]
After Bai Lin separated from them, she used her excellent positioning to circle around until the old man’s vigorous steps gradually turned clumsy.
She was able to play around even with a small broken house.
She opened the door and the old man followed her in. She jumped out of the window and quickly ran back to the door and closed it.
Some of the windows in the houses were broken, but there were still broken gla.s.s on the window frames. The old man also tried to climb over the window like Bai Lin, but his clumsy movements caused his already rotten and maggot-ridden body to be injured again.
Everywhere he pa.s.sed was covered in blood, and there were even bits of flesh that had been sc.r.a.ped off on the window frames.
The old man was even more unlucky when he came across houses with windows. He could only scratch through the window, leaving horrifying trails of blood. Bai Lin was just outside the window, pressing on the window with a relaxed smile on her face.
She laughed and ridiculed, “That’s all? You’re such a failure as a ghost.”
The ghost paused for a moment and then scratched even more vigorously, but it was useless.
[Can anyone control Bai Lin? She’s like a demon.]
[I can’t bear to look at it. Is the black cat here? Save the old man. He’s too pitiful.]
[Zheng You said that Bai Lin and the old man are accomplices. I’m dying of laughter.]
[Old man: Please. I feel worse than death to have such an accomplice.]
Bai Lin walked the old man to the point where he almost lost his ability to move. His legs were cut by the gla.s.s until only bones were left. He moved his feet and made a gurgling sound.
Looking at the pitiful old man, Bai Lin did not have any sympathy for him. She kicked him down, took out the cat teaser from her bag, and placed it on the old man.
The old man stopped moving, as if he was sealed.
Bai Lin took the opportunity to strip off the old man’s clothes. Finally, she felt something hard in the flesh of his lower back.
It was the key.
Bai Lin chuckled and patted the old man’s face. “Why didn’t you just give it to me earlier? You wouldn’t have to suffer so much then.’
She got up and left without taking the cat teaser.
The road was very quiet. Bai Lin looked at the camera and smiled. “I believe
everyone has a lot of questions, right? Miss Bars cla.s.s has started again. Children, sit down obediently, this teacher will answer your questions.”
She looked at the time. It was 10:20 p.m. There was still an hour and 40 minutes before the deadline.
Facing the camera, she pointed at her watch and said with a smile, “The first question.. How do I know when the old man will appear?
