CHAPTER 1627: CHAPTER 700: FILM EMPEROR LIN (PART 2)

Brother Overcoat hummed a tune and started dancing.

The Old Locust Tree laughed out loud, leaves rustling and falling down, and even a branch over a half-meter long fell.

"God Lin, it... it should be enough, right?"

For safety’s sake, Brother Overcoat wanted to keep the show going, but the Old Locust Tree suddenly started crying.

"Boo hoo hoo!"

The sound was heartrending and those who heard it felt sorrow.

"Red Medicine, it’s your turn!"

Gu Qingqiu advised, "This time, it should be a tragedy skit."

"Ah?"

Xia Hongyao scratched her head. She was good at making people laugh, after all, she had watched many skits, but making people cry...

She truly wasn’t good at it!

However, High Ponytail was skilled at beating people to tears.

"A tragedy, a tragedy. Right, how about I tell the story of ’The Injustice to Dou E’?"

Xia Hongyao was quite relieved, having read a good number of books herself.

"Yaojiang, by the time you finish, everyone will have cooled down!"

Sangong Airi chuckled.

Hua Yue Yu saw Xia Hongyao like this and got anxious: "Have you heard of Sun Moon Lake?"

"Heard of it!"

Xia Hongyao nodded, "A tourist destination; even had a passage in my elementary school textbook!"

"No, I’m talking about a story on the internet, very heart-wrenching!"

Hua Yue Yu walked over to Xia Hongyao, eager to tell her.

"Such a beautiful woman dying, what a pity."

Walker shook his head; there was definitely no time left.

"Under pollution, all beings are equal!"

Brother Overcoat suddenly felt that such rule pollution was quite fair. It didn’t matter if you were handsome or beautiful, rich or poor; if you couldn’t meet the requirements of a monster, you died.

Xia Hongyao was still listening to the story Hua Yue Yu was telling when Lin Baici activated Performance Master.

This was his reward from the Jiuzhou Security Bureau after he purified the divine pollution of the Wanda Plaza.

Under the powerful effect of Divine Grace, Lin Baici entered into character in one second, and he looked very sad.

Swish!

Everyone immediately looked over, their expressions astonished.

"Lord Lin, what’s wrong with you?

Sangong Airi was surprised.

Lin Baici’s current state gave off a melancholy aesthetic, and combined with his handsome face, made Sangong Airi feel a maternal instinct, wanting to hold Lin Baici in her arms, stroke his head, and softly comfort him.

"I recall it was a rainy day, I finally talked to her, the girl I had liked for twenty years!"

Lin Baici’s mouth twisted into a reminiscent smile.

In this smile, there was sunshine, there were flowers, there was a warm happiness, as if the rest of his life was sprinkled with sugar!

"God Lin, this time it seems you’re supposed to tell a tragedy!"

Grey Mother quickly reminded.

Lin Baici was clearly helping that Xiong Da, but this was off script!

He would die!

Lin Baici lowered his head, looking at the ground as if something was there, then said: "When leaving, I left her a bouquet of flowers!"

Everyone was bewildered; what was Lin Baici doing?

Gu Qingqiu and Sangong Airi were smart and caught on immediately.

Lin Baici was leaving a bouquet in front of a tombstone!

The way he lowered his head was as if he was looking at the girl’s tombstone.

Lin Baici was smiling, as if talking to the girl was the greatest happiness in his life, but she could never hear him again.

"Amazing!"

Sangong Airi wiped the corner of her eyes.

Thinking of the boy loving that girl for over ten years, only to speak to her for the first time in front of her tombstone, made Sangong Airi’s eyes well up with tears.

This sentence was brief, but the emotion it carried was immense, not just for quick thinkers like Sangong Airi and Gu Qingqiu; even Grey Mother could taste its significance.

The key was, Lin Baici’s expression, the pace and tone of his words, were spot on.

"OH MY GOD!"

Even someone like Holkina, who wasn’t very proficient in Chinese, could feel the gloomy atmosphere Lin Baici conveyed.

"Ah!"

The Old Locust Tree cried out sorrowfully.

"God Lin, are you a student of the Beijing Drama Academy?"

Grey Mother was astonished.

That acting, incredible.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; with the Old Locust Tree crying so mournfully, there was no need to ask; they had definitely passed.

"Little Linzi!"

Xia Hongyao gave Lin Baici a thumbs up; definitely her ace,

Absolutely awesome!

The Old Locust Tree cried for a while, then looked at Grey Mother.

Grey Mother’s skin tightened, giving a pleading look to Lin Baici: "God Lin, help me?"

Lin Baici showed a happy smile, mimicked going upstairs, opening a door, and entering a house.

"Honey, I’m home!"

Lin Baici changed his shoes at the entrance and called out, "I was away on a business trip for seven days, I brought you a gift!"

Everyone saw that Lin Baici was performing the role of a husband who just returned from a business trip, changing shoes at the entrance, and walking towards the kitchen.

"You only made food for one person, should we eat out then?"

His wife didn’t seem to respond to the husband.

The husband poured himself a glass of water, sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control, and just as he was about to turn on the TV, his eyes suddenly stopped at a point, and he froze.

Then, the happiness of returning home disappeared from Lin Baici’s face, replaced by sorrow, and he buried his entire face in his hands.

Due to the effect of Divine Grace ’Performance Master’, Lin Baici’s performance was very understandable, showcasing what happened in the living room, but Lin Baici’s last pause left everyone puzzled.

What the hell?

Didn’t get it!

"Little Qiu Qiu, what did the husband see?"

Xia Hongyao was curious and eager to know.

"He saw his obituary!"

Sangong Airi explained.

"Huh?"

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand at all: "What exactly?"

"Seems to make sense though!"

Hua Yue Yu suddenly understood.

"How did he deduce it was an obituary?"

Grey Mother couldn’t figure it out.

"Lin Schoolmate was afraid everyone wouldn’t get it, so he mentioned ’seven days on a business trip’ and ’you only made food for one person’, these two phrases!"

Gu Qingqiu explained.

"Whoa, the seventh day’s remembrance?"

Classmate Zhou realized, all the hair on his body stood on end, and he hugged his arms, rubbing them: "Terrifying upon further thinking!"

"Huh?"

Grey Mother also understood; it was about a husband who had been dead for seven days and came home, only to find out he was already dead.

Now thinking back to Lin Baici’s earlier performance, the contrast of the joyous return home and the somber realization of his death, this separation of human and ghost is indeed heart-wrenching.

Sangong Airi couldn’t help but applaud.

The Old Locust Tree cried even louder.

No need to ask, they definitely passed again.

"Lin Longyi, please help us!"

Walker pleaded, "We will reward Your Excellency handsomely!"

Walker and Holkina could also tell jokes or tragedies, but with a master like Lin Baici, it was safer.

Lin Baici smiled, "Do you trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll doom you?"

"After all, if I can’t do it, you’ll be the ones targeted by this weird tree who die!"

Walker and Holkina’s faces changed.

The Old Locust Tree, after crying enough, looked at Sangong Airi and started to scream.

The pollution continued.

Sangong Airi’s acting was also top-notch, though unsure if there were any Divine Grace bonuses, she played a girl being chased by Kayako, fleeing for her life.

Her lively expressions made the men present want to step forward to save her.

The Old Locust Tree’s screams grew louder, and the kimono-clad woman passed with flying colors.

"Lord Lin, don’t you think we’re a perfect match?"

Sangong Airi kept her hands in her wide sleeves, sweetly looking at Lin Baici: "Would you like to marry me?"

Hua Yue Yu immediately focused on the woman in the kimono, pursing her lips, wanting to curse.

But Sangong Airi, regardless of her status, figure, beauty, or strength, oh, and wisdom too, was top-notch, simply unbeatable!

Hua Yue Yu immediately gave High Ponytail a glance.

Go, my Red Medicine, only you, this Xiong Da, can step in!

Xiong Da, that’s the truth, and no man can refuse the truth!

"Little Linzi, I won’t let your kids with her drink my milk!"

Xia Hongyao said, looking aggrieved.

You can have as many kids as you want, and I’ll make sure they grow up fair and chubby, but with this woman,

No way!

Xia Hongyao just didn’t think this woman was a good match.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Baici was dumbfounded; I haven’t even touched you, saying things like that will make everyone misunderstand.
