"Serves him right!"

Shen Huo felt a wave of satisfaction.

Yang Yiyi left after that. She couldn't always stay by Shen Huo's side.

Even though Shen Huo now had the protection of the Yama King and wasn't in danger of being infected by yin energy, she still instinctively kept her distance. Maybe that was the true meaning of "the living and the dead walk different paths."

Shen Huo lay on his bed and opened Weibo. His DMs had exploded—999+ unread messages again.

His follower count had skyrocketed to five million in the blink of an eye.

What the heck?

That's when he realized—it was time for Li Ge's live trial.

On the stand, Li Ge confessed everything without even trying to deny it. He'd given You Li those drugs to control her more easily.

And this time, the drugs had been prepared for Shen Huo—so he'd follow orders without question.

The comment section was full of:

[WTF?! This dude's a psycho!]
[Shen Huo got so screwed. What kind of manager even does that?!]
[Poor little guy. If it were me, I'd have punched that bastard. Seriously, what a heartless monster.]

Of course, there were also some skeptics. Some people questioned why a manager would go against his own artist, saying Shen Huo probably wasn't completely innocent either.

Aside from the trolls, most people genuinely felt bad for what Shen Huo had gone through.

In the comment section, a group of people who used to be You Li's fans also showed up. Thinking about how their idol had been gone for years and was finally cleared of all false accusations, they filled the comments with messages apologizing to her.

But those who had smeared Shen Huo and You Li back then? Not a single one stepped up to say sorry.

After Li Ge was sentenced to life in prison, he'd just been cuffed and was about to be escorted away.

Out of nowhere, he suddenly started convulsing violently, eyes rolling back into his head. He collapsed onto the ground and, within a minute, stopped breathing.

Li Ge was dead. And the way he died was downright creepy.

Since the entire court sentencing was streamed live online, no one expected such a bizarre twist.

The comment section instantly exploded.

[Karma! Even the heavens couldn't stand watching!]
[Serves him right!]
[Bet it was one of the people he hurt, coming back for revenge!]

As freaky as his death was, nobody could deny he deserved it.

The bullet comments flooded in, full of "he got what was coming"—no one spared a shred of pity for a murderer.

After Li Ge's death, some people from the company tried to visit Shen Huo, apologizing on behalf of Li Ge and hoping Shen Huo would return to the company.

Shen Huo turned them down. He agreed to pay the penalty fee for breaking his contract, but there was no way he was going back to that place.

The company boss thought Shen Huo didn't know how to appreciate an opportunity, but right now, he couldn't do anything about it.

Thanks to the fallout from Li Ge's scandal, the company had caught the authorities' attention, and a tax audit revealed years of evasion. The boss was neck-deep in crisis.

He planned to wait until everything blew over before coming back to "deal" with Shen Huo.

But he never got the chance—because in the near future, his company would go bankrupt. No way to recover.

Online buzz eventually died down.

And then, one day, Shen Huo received an invitation from Director Wang.

Despite the chaos during the last trip to Ghost City, everything had ended perfectly in the end—and it had saved Director Wang's show from bankruptcy. He raked in big profits.

With the extra cash, he upgraded their equipment to the latest tech.

And the person who brought him all that success... was the one he'd least expected: Shen Huo.

Having tasted success, Director Wang decided to renew their contract.

It was a win-win.

Of course, Director Wang had learned his lesson.

This time, he wasn't going to some remote, middle-of-nowhere mountain where no one could hear you scream. Instead, he picked an abandoned building in the middle of the city.

But one thing stayed the same—"Horror Reality Show" had to go to places with creepy legends. Otherwise, how would it be a horror show?

This time, they were headed to a bizarre building wrapped in countless ghost stories.

The place was originally a large old mansion that had survived the chaos of war. When the first developer took over, they tore it down and planned to build a commercial tower.

But weird things started happening.

On the very first day of demolition, a tile from the roof fell and killed a worker.

At first, people thought it was just an accident.

But then it got weirder.

Right before the excavator touched the building, some strange force blocked it, and no matter what, the machine couldn't break through. Later, one of the workers got possessed, vomiting huge amounts of bugs while babbling nonsense.

None of the workers dared go near the site after that. Word spread fast—that place was cursed.

The stubborn developer brought in a Taoist priest.

After a few days of rituals, the excavator finally started working.

Things quieted down, the building got finished.

But that... wasn't the end of it.

On the grand opening day, the elevator malfunctioned and plummeted, killing a group of regular citizens inside.

The next day, glass inexplicably fell from the upper floors, striking and killing someone entering the supermarket below.

On the third day, a passing school bus suddenly swerved and crashed directly into the building, leaving hundreds injured and dozens dead. None of the students on the bus survived.

The developer was scared out of his wits and rushed to find the Taoist priest who had performed the rituals. But the priest was found drowned in a puddle right outside his own front door.

On the way back, as the developer passed the building, he collided with a freight truck and died instantly.

Later, the second and third developers also died under bizarre circumstances. Eventually, no one dared to take on the project, and the place slowly turned into the region's infamous haunted building.

Of course, some people didn't believe the stories and ventured in to explore. But their ends were tragic.

Those adventurers jumped off the building.

Only one person survived—a security guard who used to watch the entrance.

He jumped from the building too, but right before he passed out, he mumbled something about seeing a ghost.

A kind passerby took him to the hospital. He ended up paralyzed, but at least he survived.
