Chapter 437 398: Dream Interferer and Shadow Catcher
But when the assistant opened the door to his dorm, he immediately saw Lili standing at the entrance. However, since Lili was wearing a ghastly Human Skin Mask, she looked exactly like a real ghost. When he saw the terrifying sight, the assistant's eyes rolled back in his head, his legs gave out, and he slumped to the ground.
Damn it, why is my luck so bad? Ghosts everywhere! It seems I was born under an evil star, destined to be tangled up with vengeful spirits forever. That was the last thing he thought as his eyes fluttered shut and he passed out.
When Lili saw she'd actually scared the assistant into fainting, she quickly squatted down to try and wake him. But as she pinched the philtrum beneath his nose, she realized he wasn't breathing and had no pulse. Involuntarily, Lili let out a yell.
"Oh my god, no way! I actually scared him to death!"
So, Lili immediately hoisted the assistant onto her shoulders and returned to her own dorm using the Freedom Dormitory Shuttle Machine.
When the three young women saw Lili carrying the assistant into the room, they were completely stunned.
Yu Lan looked at Lili, puzzled. "Sister Lili, why are you carrying the assistant? Don't you mind that he stinks to high heaven? He hasn't bathed in a day, changed his underwear, or washed his socks. He's so unhygienic!"
Xuelian went even further, grabbing a bottle of perfume and spraying it directly at the assistant. "We really shouldn't bring men with such bad body odor into our dorm," she said. "It's ruining the air quality!"
Seeing that her two sisters didn't understand her reason for bringing the assistant over, Lili quickly laid him flat on the floor and said guiltily, "You don't know what happened. I used the Freedom Dormitory Shuttle Machine to go to his dorm, but because I was wearing the ghost mask, I accidentally scared him to death…"
When the two women heard that Lili had actually scared the assistant to death, they rushed over to check his pulse, heartbeat, and breathing. When they confirmed he truly appeared to be dead from fright, they couldn't believe it.
"This guy is such a coward," they said. "How could he get scared to death by a beautiful woman?"
Just then, Zhao Rong walked over. When he saw the assistant's condition, he immediately rushed into the bathroom, filled a washbasin with water, and rushed back out.
Lili urgently pleaded with him, "Brother Zhao Rong, please, you have to save the assistant!"
Seeing how anxious she was, Zhao Rong comforted her. "Lili, don't be afraid. I'll take care of him right now."
Hearing that Zhao Rong was going to help, she immediately thought, Brother Zhao Rong is an alchemist, so he'll definitely refine an elixir to save the assistant's life.
However, to her great surprise, Zhao Rong simply took the basin of cold water and splashed it all over the assistant's face. "There," he said. "He should be awake soon."
The three women were so shocked by Zhao Rong's revival method that they stumbled backward and fell to the floor. But what surprised them even more was that the basin of cold water actually worked.
The assistant leaped to his feet and started screaming, "A ghost! There's a ghost! Help me!"
Zhao Rong stepped forward and slapped him twice across the face. "Assistant, you need to wake up!"
Seeing Zhao Rong before him and the three women sitting on the floor, the assistant finally came to his senses. He scratched the back of his head and said in amazement, "Just a moment ago, I was at the door of my dorm and ran into a vengeful ghost. How did I suddenly end up in your dorm room?"
The three women explained everything that had just happened. After hearing their story, a look of sudden understanding crossed the assistant's face.
Everyone says there are ghosts in this world, but it seems there really aren't any...
However, just as he finished this thought, a dark figure flashed across the balcony. Zhao Rong's sharp eyes caught the movement instantly.
"Rainy Night Killer! Don't you dare run!" he yelled, immediately giving chase.
But the shadow was far too fast, and Zhao Rong failed to catch it. When he walked back into the dorm from the balcony, looking disappointed, he saw the three women on their phones, opening the Paradise Shopping Cart app.
"What are you all buying?" Zhao Rong asked curiously. "Why so secretive?"
Lili stood up and explained, "Brother Zhao Rong, you know how I was sleepwalking and killing people in my dreams? I think someone must have been controlling my dreams. So, I'm buying a Dream Interferer from the Paradise Shopping Cart. That way, when I'm sleeping and dreaming, no one will be able to command me to kill people while I sleepwalk."
Hearing that she was buying a Dream Interferer, Zhao Rong found the idea fascinating. "Not bad," he said. "If you have something like that, you can finally sleep peacefully without worrying about someone manipulating your dreams and making you do something crazy."
With that, he turned to Yu Lan. "Yu Lan, Lili is buying a Dream Interferer. What about you?"
Yu Lan showed Zhao Rong her phone. "The thing I'm buying is called a Shadow Catcher."
"A Shadow Catcher?" Zhao Rong was puzzled. He sat down next to her and looked at her phone screen intently. "What in the world is that, and why are you buying one?"
Yu Lan pointed toward the balcony. "Brother Zhao Rong, didn't you just see a shadow flash across our balcony? You rushed out as fast as lightning but still couldn't catch it. So, I'm buying a machine from the Paradise Shopping Cart called a Shadow Catcher. With this machine, we can finally catch that shadow that keeps appearing on the balcony!"
Hearing that such a magical device existed, Zhao Rong's interest was piqued. "This thing is great! It's brilliant! It's absolutely amazing!" he said excitedly. "Once you get it, you have to give it to me. We'll see how I catch that shadow that keeps showing up on the balcony!"
After speaking with Yu Lan, Zhao Rong walked over to Xuelian with a smile. "Xuelian, what new high-tech gadget are you buying?"
Xuelian was waiting for the Hummingbird Secret Service Team to deliver her order. "I bought a Rainy Night Killer Tracker," she said. "As long as we have this machine, we'll be able to detect the Rainy Night Killer's signal the moment it appears and track it constantly."
Zhao Rong gave Xuelian a big thumbs-up. "How did I never think to look for something like that online? If we have a Rainy Night Killer Tracker, we can catch him much sooner and finally bring him to justice!"
Just as Zhao Rong finished seeing what the three women were buying, he turned and noticed that the assistant was also shopping online. Curious, Zhao Rong walked over to him. "Assistant, I saw Lili buying a Dream Interferer, Yu Lan buying a Shadow Catcher, and Xuelian buying a Rainy Night Killer Tracker. What are you buying?"
When the assistant saw Zhao Rong trying to peek at his phone, he quickly covered the screen with one hand and gave a shy smile. "I'm buying something amazing that only men can use. Women have no use for it."
Hearing this, Zhao Rong frowned and made a wild guess. "Don't tell me you're buying one of those... male pleasure devices?"
The assistant looked offended. "Brother Zhao Rong, how can you think so little of me? I'll admit my desires can be a little strong, but I have them under control! It's not as bad as you make it sound."
Zhao Rong was stumped. What the... An unrepentant lecher like the assistant... if he isn't buying something like *that*, then what could it be?
Just as he was trying to figure it out, a package shot from the courier cannon flew through the window and landed on the floor with a thud. The three women and the assistant immediately rushed toward it.
Lili snatched the package first, hugging it to her chest. "I can't believe mine was the first to arrive!"
Yu Lan rushed over and wrestled the package out of her hands. "Sister Lili, you must be mistaken. This one is mine!"
Xuelian stood up and pointed an accusing finger at Yu Lan. "I was the first one to click 'buy' and get a shipping confirmation! How could the first delivery be for either of you?"
As Xuelian and Yu Lan started fighting over the package, they accidentally ripped the wrapping open. A movie-viewing watch tumbled out, followed by a pile of explicit movie discs that scattered across the floor. When the three women saw the items, they immediately backed away.
Lili waved her hands in denial. "That package isn't mine."
Yu Lan wore an expression of disgust. "I'm not the type to waste my time watching those kinds of Island Country flicks."
Xuelian turned to look at the assistant. "This must be yours, right?"
At her words, the assistant gave everyone a sheepish smile as he bent down to pick up the movie-viewing watch and the pile of discs. He slipped the watch onto his wrist and gave Zhao Rong a mischievous grin. "Brother Zhao Rong, if you ever want to watch some movies, just come find me. This movie-viewing watch I bought online has an endless supply of films. It has this amazing automatic function... it can create new movies automatically based on the owner's tastes for you to watch!"
