Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power
Chapter 171 From now on, the game has one more fundamental rule.
Cao Mingliang stared at the fiery scene on the screen, tears welling in his eyes, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long pause, he asked, "Peng Yong, why do you have these videos?"
"And how did you get the injury on your face?"
Peng Yong paused for a few seconds, then pulled up the video of Luo Lin hitting the girl with a wine bottle. Pointing to the girl on the screen, he said, "Her name is Peng Xin'er, and she is my niece."
"My older brother died early, and this is my only daughter. No one takes care of her. I pay for her living expenses every month. She's in her twenties and doesn't work, but I still give her living expenses on time every month. Before this, I had no idea that she was doing this kind of thing."
"After the fire, one of her friends told me that she had been to that hotel the night before."
"I rushed over there overnight, hoping to rush in and save people, but... I couldn't."
"I was a police officer in Mingyue City at the time, and I collected these videos through various channels."
This time, it was Cao Mingliang's turn to remain silent.
He took out a newspaper from ten years ago and saw the classification of the fire at that time: accidental fire.
Peng Yong continued, "Over the past ten years, I have tried various methods to uncover the hidden truth behind that fire."
"However, Bai Chang, who was in charge of security for that expo, would not allow such a terrible thing to happen in his jurisdiction, and he would not allow his career to be tarnished."
"He arranged for an intermediary to come to me with a sum of money, saying it was compensation from the Santa Group, and told me not to cause any trouble."
"But I believe good will prevail over evil, so I didn't take his money."
"As a result, in less than a month, I went from being a regular police officer to a temporary auxiliary police officer, and I also lost an arm and a leg. My wife was tricked into taking out a loan at a high interest rate, and we had to sell our house to pay it off."
"For the better part of half a year, I was beaten up every five days and every half month. The rented house would be raided within a week."
"If it weren't for my former colleagues secretly taking care of me, I probably wouldn't be alive."
Cao Ming's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.
He knew all too well that ten years ago, it was far too easy for someone in power to deal with a lowly soldier.
Back then, many people didn't have smartphones, and online information channels were far less developed than they are now.
"Didn't you think about going somewhere else to hide for a while?"
Hearing Cao Mingliang ask this question, Peng Yong smiled.
He lifted his shirt to reveal a long scar and said, "I ran away, got found, and almost got stabbed to death. Here, my former colleagues can still take care of me, but elsewhere, who will care about me?"
"Luckily, I used to be a police officer and have some connections. If I were just an ordinary citizen, I would probably be reincarnated and in elementary school by now."
Cao Mingliang's eyes were slightly red, and he blinked repeatedly as he said, "Old Peng, these past ten years have been truly, truly miserable for you..."
Peng Yong smiled even more broadly.
On his face, half of which was burned, the scars, resembling earthworms, seemed to come alive, moving as if they were actually moving.
"Captain Cao, is it possible that my life these past ten years has been even worse than I've described?"
Cao Mingliang: "..."
He rubbed his forehead and asked, "Then how did you end up in Cang'er?"
Peng Yong said in a deep voice: "Less than a year after that incident, Bai Chang was transferred from the provincial capital to Cang'er. He was afraid that I would cause trouble after he left, so he used his connections to transfer my wife to Cang'er under the guise of a job transfer."
"I know what he means, he's using my wife to threaten me, so I came to Cang'er too."
"Thankfully, heaven has eyes! He finally passed away last month, along with his dog son!"
The scene in front of Chongwen Temple reappeared in Cao Mingliang's mind, and at this moment his feelings were very complicated.
"Now you can rest assured, Bai Chang is dead."
Peng Yong paused for a moment and said, "But those who set the fire have not yet paid the price for their actions."
Cao Mingliang then watched the video again carefully.
Finally, he said helplessly, "Old Peng, your video is missing something crucial."
Peng Yong chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I've looked into it. They didn't capture any footage of the arsonist, but there are over forty suspects, which will make it very difficult to convict them."
"right."
Cao Mingliang added, "Moreover, they are celestial beings, foreign guests, which will cause a lot of trouble."
Peng Yong still had a smile on his face, but it was more of a bitter smile that came from the frustration of having experienced countless setbacks.
......
Zhongzhou.
That night, more than half of Santana's employees broke the rules on the bus.
Most of them could have gotten through the day safely.
However, Bowman's resurrection instilled a profound fear in everyone.
That night, heart-wrenching screams of pain echoed throughout the first floor of the Golden Eagle Hotel.
This exhausted Zhang Qi, the soul healer.
They worked from dusk till dawn.
I almost worked myself to death.
On the third day, apart from a few Santana employees who accidentally broke the rules, everything at the expo was normal.
On the third night, several Santana employees broke the rules at the hotel and experienced the pain of being stabbed.
By midnight on the third day, all Santa employees except for Lorraine himself had been punished once.
Just after midnight, bang!
The door to the luxurious room was opened from the outside, and Li Bai burst in, holding a wooden sword, staring at the corner of the room.
The ghost who burned to death has reappeared.
At the same time, all forty-odd Santana employees in the room were also awakened.
Looking at the burning ghost again, they were all terrified!
The ghost who had been burned at the stake politely removed his hat, bowed to the crowd, and said in a hoarse voice, "Good evening, everyone!"
"Over the past three days, I'm sure most of you have experienced the pain of breaking the rules, right?"
"That's right, my boss is very kind."
"He felt the game was a bit too cruel, so..."
A smile spread across the charcoal-like face of the burned ghost, and he said, "So, from now on, the game has one more fundamental rule."
Hearing what the burning ghost said, everyone in Santa's heart was in their throat!
"This rule is—"
"The Exit Rule!"
"Everyone, from now on, as long as you sincerely repent for the mistakes you have made in the past, write them down, put your fingerprints on them, and hand them to Mr. Li Bai next to me, then you can withdraw from this game and will no longer be punished by the rules."
Upon hearing what the burning ghost said, all the Santana employees were immediately shocked!
At that moment, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Don't listen to his nonsense!"
Lorraine looked at the angry expressions on everyone's faces and said, "He's trying to undermine us!"
"Think about what you did back then, can you even bring yourself to say it?!"
"If I told you, would you still be able to return to Tianxiang?!"
