Chapter 878: Chapter 878: Your Life is Too Tough, Even the Most Yin and Evil Qi Can’t Kill You

Qin Ruan tilted her head and lifted her chin slightly toward Ke Zhibin, "Mr. Ke, give it a try this time."

Ke Zhibin felt somewhat timid, dominated by concerns for his mother and son, yet he mustered the courage to step onto the staircase.

This time, his foot landed firmly on the stair.

Ke Zhibin’s eyes sparkled as he turned to look at Qin Ruan and exclaimed in surprise, "It really works!"

Qin Ruan smiled at him, "Then don’t just stand there. Go on up."

Ke Zhibin’s initially joyful expression quickly turned pale, contrasting with the haughty and frigid aura he had held high on the night at the Tongsha Sky Bridge, his strong facial features now showed timidity.

He clenched his moist palms, raised his hand to Qin Ruan, and said respectfully, "Miss Qin, perhaps you should go first?"

Without commenting on Ke Zhibin’s fear, Qin Ruan lifted her foot onto the step.

She walked steadily upstairs, her clear eyes occasionally surveying her surroundings.

Ke Zhibin followed closely behind Qin Ruan, always feeling the cold seeping through his clothes and into his bones, a chilling sensation emerging on his back.

The two of them reached the second floor safely, one after the other, and nothing happened during the ascent. The screams of Ke’s mother and Ke Yiming had vanished at some point.

Ke Zhibin stood at the stairway entrance and pointed to the left, "Miss Qin, my mother is over there. She’s not in good health, shall we first..."

Qin Ruan interrupted him, "Mr. Ke, to catch the thieves, first catch the king. You should understand this principle."

Her smile appeared harmless, but a chilling thinness surfaced in her eyes, and a fierce aura emanated from her.

Ke Zhibin wanted to say something but slowly closed his mouth under the silent pressure released.

Qin Ruan was pleased with his attitude and turned to walk to the right, her steps light and slow.

Ke Zhibin could not see, but with each step she took, the chilly Evil Qi in the air receded.

Qin Ruan suddenly spoke, "Mr. Ke, you are surrounded by the Evil Qi of five wronged spirits. Normally, being entangled by such intense Negative Evil Qi, one would have died an unnatural death by now. Do you know why nothing has happened to you yet?"

Caught off guard by her question, Ke Zhibin felt even colder; with a faint shift in his thoughts, he asked softly, "Why?"

Qin Ruan turned her head to look at him, her tone calm as she stated, "Because you have a tough fate."

Ke Zhibin’s breath halted, "..."

Ignoring his pale face, Qin Ruan showed a faint smile, though her eyes were devoid of any warmth.

She kindly explained to Ke Zhibin, "The people who died because of Hen Nianzhen turned into vengeful Puppets to seek revenge on you because Hen Nianzhen was part of the Ke Family. Those who died had accepted the olive branch extended by Yahuang Entertainment from the gray area, willingly working for her in exchange for generous sums of money.

Five lives perished under the mighty corporate power of Yahuang Entertainment. Desperate, they swarmed to you after death, wanting to kill you with the intense Negative Evil Qi, but unfortunately, your fate was too strong. They couldn’t see the misery on you in the short term, so they had to target your family instead."

"Bang!"

Ke Zhibin’s body collapsed onto the corridor carpet, his eyes lifelessly fixated on Qin Ruan, or rather, directly in front of her.

There, a dense black mist hovered.

Ke Zhibin was terrified by the truth Qin Ruan revealed and was petrified by the sight of the puppet, his heart pounding furiously, his face a mask of despair.

Qin Ruan’s dark eyes glared at the black mist opposite her, her lips curling into a cold, mocking smile.

The black mist soon took the shape of a man, his face so thoroughly destroyed with bone-deep scars that it was horrifying, the eyes that had been gouged out before his death, leaving only bloody holes.

He was ’staring’ at Qin Ruan and Ke Zhibin, his bloodied and blurred face exceptionally terrifying, sending shivers down the spine.

Qin Ruan’s expression was indifferent; she twirled her fingertips and said softly to the male puppet, "Tell me the purpose of luring me here."

The male puppet floated toward Qin Ruan, stopping a meter away, and slowly opened his mouth, revealing bloody, blackish-red teeth.

"Heh heh..." The sound from his throat was raspy, gloomy, and pained.

Qin Ruan’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and she smiled, "So it’s a mute."

The strand of golden light she twisted at her fingertips shot toward the soul of the male puppet, and the next instant, he regained his handsome appearance from before his death, his tongue in his mouth also quickly restored.

This male puppet was quite handsome, with naturally curly intense hair, his face young and shy, radiating the charm of a mature man.

Youthful and vibrant, tender and handsome, a perfect example of a fresh young man.

Ke Zhibin, slumped on the corridor carpet, looked at the man’s naturally advantageous face with complex eyes, all too aware of how much the puppet attracted young girls and wealthy matrons.

He was certain now, this young male puppet was the small-time star kept by Hen Nianzhen.

Even after regaining his appearance before death, the male puppet was still full of chilling evil Qi, he opened his mouth, "I..."

He made a sound but stopped, his eyes widening slightly.

Now aware that he could speak, the male puppet’s pale face showed an excited expression.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his dark eyes staring at Qin Ruan, his face showing a trace of wariness and as if seeing a savior, his voice grief-stricken and pitiful, "Master, my name is Taixing, I graduated from Cloud City Film and TV Academy, and last year I participated in a variety show selection program.

One day, during the shooting, I was called alone to the backstage resting room by the person in charge, Hen Nianzhen. She threatened me with my girlfriend. If I didn’t follow her, she would ruin my forthcoming career in the entertainment industry and make it impossible for my girlfriend and me to survive in Capital City.

I’ve been dating my girlfriend for three years, how could I betray her, I did not accept Hen Nianzhen’s offer, she is still the wife of the head of Yahuang Entertainment, I didn’t dare, and I didn’t want to betray my girlfriend, so I refused her.

Hen Nianzhen, upon being rejected by me, said nothing, just waved her hand and let me leave; I thought that was the end of it.

But to my surprise, the variety show production team stopped all my subsequent shoots that very day, and Hen Nianzhen didn’t seek me out again. I didn’t want to betray my girlfriend, but I love acting, I love singing, I didn’t want to just give up on my dreams..."

Listening to Taixing ramble on, Qin Ruan frowned and said sternly, breaking his speech, "Get to the point!"

She didn’t want to hear about how Taixing refused Hen Nianzhen and then went through a painful struggle, finally realizing he couldn’t twist the arm off a thigh and compromising, eventually agreeing to obey Hen Nianzhen.

She wanted to know what happened between Taixing, Hen Nianzhen, and that girlfriend of his.

Being abruptly interrupted by Qin Ruan, Taixing’s not bad-looking pale face instantly became very expressive.

First confusion, disbelief, and finally, restrained anger, subtle yet unmistakable to Qin Ruan’s keen eyes.

This was the first time Taixing tried to capture a woman’s favor and sympathy, along with the unspoken, adult-like ambiguity, only to taste failure.
