The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Shameless Newcomer
“Number 100, what you’re doing is a bit too…”
Shameless.
The fear on Zhou Ya’s face had not yet faded, and upon hearing Qing Li’s words, her expression became even more unpleasant.
Equally displeased was Shen Ruo, who, gasping for breath, said, “Number 100, we are all in a dangerous situation now, the urgent task is to find a way to complete the mission, but you take advantage to rob – truly disappointing.”
Qing Li, who had just saved two lives, instantly became a shameless scoundrel.
[“The village girl saved them, what’s wrong with asking for some reward?”]
[“But they are partners, they should unite; the village girl’s actions lack teamwork spirit.”]
[“Come on, if they considered the village girl a partner, when the village girl was pushed away by the ghost nurse, they didn’t even dare to make a sound.”]
[“This is a live broadcast for survival. In the face of life and death, spare us your moral lectures.”]
The barrage in the live stream sparked a dispute.
“I owe you, Miss Qing Li. If it weren’t for you, I would have almost died out there,” Lin Zizhou expressed gratitude, offering his wristwatch. “I don’t have money now, only this watch, worth around two hundred thousand. Can you accept it?”
“Over 200,000?” Qing Li’s eyes lit up.
With Lin Zizhou setting the example, even though Shen Ruo and Zhou Ya were reluctant, they also presented valuable items.
“Who is he?” Zhou Ya noticed Chu Ci beside them, and his peculiar appearance caught her attention.
“He is Dr. Chu,” Qing Li briefly introduced.
Shen Ruo caught a crucial detail: the ghosts outside dared not enter. Was it because they feared this man?
They exchanged a glance.
Zhou Ya, prepared to give everything to Qing Li, suddenly turned to Chu Ci with a smile. “Dr. Chu, all these precious things are for you. Can you let us stay here for half an hour?”
“Hmm,” Chu Ci replied concisely.
Upon seeing his agreement, Zhou Ya provocatively glanced at Qing Li without a change in expression. This shameless newcomer intended to amass wealth through missions, regardless of whether fate favored her.
Shen Ruo also handed over her valuable belongings to Chu Ci, casting a displeased look at Qing Li.
Qing Li shrugged without uttering a word.
She initially planned to take money from the three and spare their lives, following her master’s teachings of balancing karma by taking relative value from those whose lives she intervened in.
However, the two clearly weren’t buying it.
Seeing Qing Li’s plan fail, the barrage in the live chat room added some mocking comments.
[Hehe, the village girl is too naive. Once they noticed Dr. Chu is the real deal, they kicked her out in a blink.]
[Is this mission going to be completed so easily? Dr. Chu’s appearance is too overpowered!]
[Clearly a situation with no way out, why did Chu Ci help them!]
Chu Ci walked up to Qing Li, handed her the items, and in a cool tone said, “For you.”
“Why for me?” Qing Li blinked, puzzled by Chu Ci’s actions.
At the same time, Zhou Ya and Shen Ruo were also in a daze.
“Weren’t you looking for these just now?” Chu Ci asked as Qing Li accepted the items with a grateful whisper, “Thank you.”
Now, her once flat pockets were bulging with a rich harvest.
Zhou Ya and Shen Ruo, however, felt like they had just been slapped in the face.
“Since you both want to stay here, then stay here!” Chu Ci said to them.
“What…do you mean?” Zhou Ya widened her eyes.
Chu Ci’s gaze fell on Qing Li, smiling, “Young lady, let’s switch operating rooms.”
After speaking, he opened the door. The sound of scratching the wooden door outside abruptly stopped. The little boy, his fingers bloody, let out a sharp scream upon seeing Chu Ci, instantly vanishing without a trace.
Seeing Chu Ci about to leave, Zhou Ya belatedly realized they had been deceived.
“Number 100, I’ll give you all my valuable possessions on me, help me, please,” Zhou Ya anxiously said.
Qing Li, who had already stepped out with one foot, turned around with a charming smile.
“All of it,” she said, squinting her eyes.
Zhou Ya winced, taking off her necklace, rings, and bracelets, handing all the valuable items to Qing Li.
Shen Ruo, reluctantly, handed over his last precious possession for the sake of survival.
Fortunately, these external possessions could be purchased with popularity points later, so he wasn’t too concerned.
But… being tricked by this newcomer…
Qing Li, satisfied with her gains, withdrew her foot and said to Chu Ci, “Dr. Chu, we don’t need to stay in this place for now.”
Chu Ci responded with a simple “Hmm.”
The door closed slowly, and the operating room fell into an eerie silence.
Lin Zizhou noticed the wrapped body on the floor, the familiar face making his stomach churn.
“Zhu Daqiang, he’s already dead,” he said in horror.
If the body of number 89 appeared here, does this room represent—unsafe?
“Don’t worry, this place is absolutely safe,” Qing Li assured with a faint smile, despite her modest appearance exuding a reassuring strength.
“My safe house is very reliable; nothing from outside can get in,” she confidently guaranteed.
Zhou Ya couldn’t help but speak: “How can you guarantee?”
“If you don’t believe, try it, and you’ll know!”
Qing Li, caught off guard, opened the door. Amid the astonished gazes of everyone, she took a step outside…
The disappeared little boy suddenly appeared, a ghostly face instantly approaching Qing Li.
“Caught… you…”
Like the screech of iron against glass, a faint sound echoed.
But just as the blood-drenched ghostly hand was about to touch Qing Li, she jumped back, bouncing back into the operating room.
“Oh, missed me, didn’t you!”
In the quiet corridor, Qing Li’s triumphant laughter echoed…
The empty ghost claws caught a sense of loneliness.
The little boy’s sinister and terrifying expression twisted, teeth grinding with a cracking sound, his bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Qing Li.
And the next moment, Qing Li bounced out again.
“Swish—”
The ghost hand instantly reached out again, and Qing Li bounced back once more.
“Hey, I’m out!”
“Hey, I’m back again.”
Qing Li’s two braids swung while bouncing and skipping.
Several people beside silently observed…
This newcomer… quite cheeky!
