Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1007: Chapter 918: Queen of Terror 14

The evidence is overwhelming that the tall and strong fat man is a serial killer. Not to mention anything else, his clothes are covered in the blood of the two previous victims. Even if a felon were sick, they wouldn’t be without handcuffs.

Plus, after being beaten by Lan Shuangshuang until his limbs were broken, it’s impossible for the tall and strong fat man to escape again. Moreover, he killed two people using brutal methods, making the circumstances so heinous that he’s surely doomed this time.

Jiang Mengxin wasn’t seriously injured, and with proper medical care, she was almost fine in four or five days. During these days, the inn remained peaceful. The young couple had left soon after the fat man was arrested. Now only Lan Shuangshuang and the other three Taskers stayed at the inn.

Since the serial killer was caught, the inn had returned to safety. Coupled with the generous salary from the lady boss, a few of the waitstaff who had fled returned.

The lady boss didn’t refuse them. It’s human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. They are just working for others; it’s unrealistic to expect them to risk their lives for someone else. Besides, the inn was short-staffed.

Even though everything had been calm for a few days, Lan Shuangshuang remained vigilant. However, she didn’t expect to be the first one approached during this time.

When Lan Shuangshuang had just finished bathing and was drying her hair in front of the large floor mirror in the bathroom, she noticed that her reflection twisted and turned into someone else — a bald man wearing a chunky gold chain and gold rings, who was the same nouveau riche killed by the fat man earlier.

The bald man’s face in the mirror suddenly became sinister and frightening, with criss-crossing wounds appearing on it, his nose was twisted, showing half of it, and blood oozed all over his face. Then, his arms and legs started to fall off one by one, followed by his intestines and organs, until only a head was left floating in the mirror.

Lan Shuangshuang watched the bald man’s performance calmly, dismembering himself completely. It wasn’t until only a head was left that she frowned at the crime scene in the mirror and said, ”I say, are you mentally deficient?”

The bald man’s ghost, initially sinister-looking, was stunned by her scolding, showing a confused expression on his face. He couldn’t understand why Lan Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid of him, despite his terrifying ghostly appearance, and even insulted him.

Lan Shuangshuang pointed at the scattered limbs and guts of the bald ghost in the mirror, her gaze laced with disdain, ”You’re here to claim a life, right? Let’s not mention why you idiot didn’t seek revenge on your enemy but came after me instead.

Just talking about how you haven’t harmed the person whose life you’re claiming yet have already torn yourself apart—what’s your intention? Do you plan to bite me to death with that remaining head of yours?”

Before the newly-dead fierce ghost could react to Lan Shuangshuang’s scolding, she abruptly darkened her expression, glaring dangerously at the bald ghost in the mirror, ”I say, did you by any chance, peek at me while I was bathing before?”

The bald man’s ghost, uncertain about the consequences of his response, instinctively shook his head, indicating he hadn’t peeked at Lan Shuangshuang bathing.

Lan Shuangshuang coldly scrutinized the bald ghost in the mirror for some time and, once sure he wasn’t lying, she snorted, ”Consider yourself smart. Had you really peeked at me bathing, I’d make sure you couldn’t even be a ghost.”

After saying that, Lan Shuangshuang reached out towards the mirror. The bald ghost initially stared at her blankly, unaware that he had just narrowly escaped dissolution.

Watching her reach out to the mirror while gazing at her mockingly, he said, ”What are you trying to do? Don’t tell me you think you, a living person, can reach into the mirror and grab me? You’re not a ghost, how could you possibly extend your hand into... Wait, how did you manage that!”

Halfway through his mockery, the bald ghost noticed a hand suddenly appearing before him, nearly startling him into a shout. The hand, filled with disbelief, grabbed his ear and pulled him out of the mirror world.

As the bald ghost was pulled out, he reverted to a human form. Lan Shuangshuang tapped his forehead, and the bald ghost instantly vanished from her sight.

Of course, Lan Shuangshuang hadn’t killed him; she had sent him to the fat man’s side instead. Even though the fat man would receive a death sentence, there were still various judicial processes to go through, so he wouldn’t die immediately. Meanwhile, he could enjoy his time seeing ghosts.

After sending off the bald ghost, Lan Shuangshuang exited the bathroom to find the corridor turned into a strange, dark, gloomy, dilapidated place. In the middle lay a dismembered person.

The head of the body was placed neatly among the scattered limbs, facing Lan Shuangshuang directly. As she emerged from the bathroom, its eyes turned a full circle, adding an eerie atmosphere.

When its eyes settled on Lan Shuangshuang, a sinister smile appeared on its face. It eerily called out to her, ”Come, come keep me company!”

Lan Shuangshuang looked expressionlessly for a moment, then sighed, ”Why do you all think I’m an easy target, a pushover to bully.

Did you and that bald ghost plan this together? A couple of idiots! You want to claim a life, but first, dismember yourself. You’ve been dead so long your brain’s gone to mush, huh? Like I said, you’ve taken off your hands and feet, planning to use your mouth to bite me to death?”

Finished speaking, Lan Shuangshuang couldn’t be bothered with further words. She gathered her mana, casting it with a wave, creating a whirlwind that took the sinister middle-aged male ghost away. It was bundled along to join the bald ghost and the fat man for some company.

The people were dealt with, and so were the ghosts. The remaining time of this task was peaceful. Lan Shuangshuang spent her days eating and drinking. Because of the murders, business at the inn was slow, and the lady boss took Lan Shuangshuang on a tour of the beautiful local scenery daily.

This area was a scenic zone, with naturally beautiful views. The lady boss, being local, knew many hidden gems. Lan Shuangshuang, along with the recovered Jiang Mengxin, Jiao Zhongsheng, and Feng Duo, went hiking, water exploring, foraging for wild vegetables, picking berries, fishing, and shrimp catching, camping outdoors every day.

With the killer caught and the ghosts dealt with by Lan Shuangshuang, the remaining days, which should have been tense, turned into wild fun. Eating and drinking right up to the end of the task.

When it came time to part, everyone was reluctant to leave. With Lan Shuangshuang’s support, aside from Jiang Mengxin’s unfortunate attack, the rest had a nearly effortless victory, achieving perfect scores and highly favorable evaluations.
