[Please add my upcoming story, "The Supernatural Returns, But I Turn Myself In," to your reading list~ Blurb at the very bottom]
When she opens her eyes again, Jiang Chuxu has become a bankrupt heiress, drowning in debt and with little time left to live. She's also bound to a merit-based life-extension System.
Her creditors are at the door, and her lifespan is running out. That night, a new show called "The Spirit Medium's Livestream" appears on a streaming platform. The comments mock it during its premiere.
Then a man connects to the stream, sobbing as he describes his missing wife and tearfully begs for help finding her.
Jiang Chuxu sneers. "Why don't you take another look behind you?"
In an instant, viewers see a woman, blue and purple all over, clinging to the man's shoulder.
[Aaaaaaah, Mom! I'm never watching a livestream again!]
[My materialism... it's been completely shattered.]
The next day, #WifeMurderAndBodyConcealmentCaseSolved# shoots to the top of the trending topics. When the killer is arrested, he looks crazed and keeps shouting that there's a ghost.
After that, the style of Jiang Chuxu's livestream changes completely.
A rich man brags that the feng shui of his new house will bring him fortune?
[Help! There are three blood-soaked people sitting on his sofa!]
The rich man: terrified.jpg
There's hair in the house that doesn't belong to anyone?
[I'm dead. This looks like a haunted house share. (Hands-on-chin doge)]
A night visit to a haunted house leads to an encounter with a ghost wedding procession carrying a sedan chair?
Viewers keep hearing someone call their names?
The livestream comments go from [This script is so fake] to [Master, can you see if there's a ghost near me?]
Once viewers learn that Jiang Chuxu only connects with people who have ghosts around them,
the comments change from [Can't wait for a connection] to [Please, please don't connect to me QAQ].
**
One day, the captain of the criminal investigation squad shows up with a banner to thank her.
Jiang Chuxu, mid-livestream, and the "good friends" who flash across the screen are all stunned.
The banner bears seven characters: "A fine young person who bravely did what's right."
Viewers: ??? Is there something off about the style of this banner?!
Master, you're more than meets the eye!
[Reading Guide]
1. Some chapters are a little scary, but most are quite normal.
2. The heroine is strong, very strong. The System barely makes an appearance.
3. Since this is a livestream story, the livestream chapters contain lots of comments.
Blurb for the upcoming story below
Viewers scream and take screenshots inside an abandoned hospital.
[Streamer! There's a white shape floating behind you!]
Wei Jingxian picks up a piece of plastic wrapped in cobwebs and calmly says, "It's just static cling. Totally normal. Don't make a fuss."
To prove it, she steps on it. The comments only get more frantic.
[You're stepping on a ghost's skirt! Its eyes are about to pop out!]
[Is this what a scientific beatdown looks like?]
The comments flood the screen at the century-old haunted house.
[There's a deathly pale face by the window!!!]
She pokes through the window paper and pulls out a flashlight. "It's just a really big moth. Don't scare yourselves."
[The ghost even gave her the finger, and the streamer thinks it's just a moth flapping its wings.]
Her fans all lose their minds:
Before following her: Embrace science
After following her: Embrace the occult
How does she manage to miss the ghost's close-up every single time?
Help, this livestream really is haunted!

As ghosts and monsters return across the world, other countries are amazed to find that An Country seems perfectly safe.
The people go about their lives as usual, with time to watch livestreams.
Before watching, people in other countries: Let's take a look, too.
After watching, people in other countries: confused.jpg
Didn't ghosts and monsters come back?!
Why are the people of An Country still watching Embrace Science?!

The dog boy is so arrogant, it scares me 💔💔💔 The teacher wrote so vividly [spread flowers][spread flowers][spread flowers]
"Every time he disobeys an order, he is greeted by a whipping. A human head gradually becomes numb in pain. The human consciousness is forcibly broken and distorted, and is forcibly mixed with animal instincts and deep-seated resentment." Catch a big bug for the author~
