Chapter 12: There are so many coincidences in the world!
Lin Yang glanced in that direction. I also witnessed a horrifying scene in the corner. It can be said that anyone who witnessed such a phenomenon would be frightened to death, and he was no exception. He would have scattered and fled if it weren’t for the girl clinging to him tightly.
At this moment, the terrifying figure at the foot of the wall started moving. Slowly, he extended his hands and approached Lin Yang. The posture, combined with the horrifying appearance, made it evident that he was coming to take Lin Yang’s life.
Oh no! Lin Yang couldn’t bear it any longer. Without much thought, he picked up the girl and rushed outside the house. Almost at the door, a gust of wind coincidentally closed it. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t budge!
In a panic, Lin Yang forcefully pulled the doorknob. Snapping sound – it broke! This was truly unfortunate. As he gazed at the approaching terrifying figure, Lin Yang threw his hand over, though it hadn’t hit yet. He was genuinely panicked, having never encountered such a situation since childhood. The viewers in the live broadcast room were also left bewildered.

[Oh my god, is this really a ghost? Are there really ghosts in the world? It’s too scary, Lin Yang is afraid he will suffer a disaster today.].
[I never believed ghosts existed in this world, but I have to believe today. This horse is not a ghost. What is it? If I didn’t know that he was broadcasting live, I would have thought I was watching a horror movie.].
[What are you afraid of? What the hell? Hit it if you can beat it. If you can’t beat it, it’s a big deal. It is really impossible to ask your own ancestors to come out. No one has any relatives or friends.].
[I don’t believe there are still people who dare to thank you for the gift of nature. They have already called the police. I hope Lin Yang can hold on. But the problem is that the police are not in charge of ghosts. I’m afraid that the police will go there!].
….
The strange spectre approached the gate slowly, its bloodied hands reaching out. Less than two meters away, Lin Yang realised he couldn’t just sit and wait for death. The girl seemed beyond help, leaving him with no choice but to act alone. He rushed forward, delivering a powerful punch that easily knocked down the person on the other side.
Baffled, Lin Yang examined his fist and the motionless figure on the ground. The room’s lights suddenly came back on without flickering. With a clear view, Lin Yang recognised the person – dressed strangely with a bohemian hairstyle. It struck him that the girl had mentioned doing makeup on two corpses involved in a car accident earlier.
It dawned on Lin Yang that this person might not be dead, just seriously injured. Concerned about the consequences of another hug, he squatted down, checking for signs of life. After a tense moment, relief washed over him – the person was alive but weak.
Excitedly, Lin Yang called out to the trembling girl, reassuring her that it wasn’t a ghost but a living human. She cautiously approached, and together, they realised the man was alive but in critical condition. Lin Yang dialled 120 for an ambulance, and the girl provided water while attempting to help with basic first aid, wiping off blood stains and attempting simple hemostasis.

[As the old saying goes, people are scared to death. Today, I once thought that the previous concept was wrong and that there really are ghosts in the world. It’s okay, it’s okay. Otherwise, I won’t dare to walk at night in the future.].
[I was so scared that I hid under the covers, and nine times out of ten, I will have nightmares tonight. When I learned the truth, my heart was not disturbed, and I even wanted to eat some crayfish and drink some beer.].
[The ghostly legends in this world, I think they are all coincidences. For example, tonight, if Lin Yang ran out. In the future, all of us will think that there are ghosts in the world.].
[Indeed, first, the meat was accidentally cut and bled. Then the lights flickered suddenly, and the man was homeless and had a car accident. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a scary ghost on TV. I don’t know why I suddenly feel less afraid of ghosts.].
….
Twenty minutes later, the police arrived, but it wasn’t Captain Chen and his team from earlier in the day. Instead, officers from the nearby Public Security Bureau responded quickly. They gathered information on the situation, discovering that the man involved had been in a daytime car accident and pronounced dead at the hospital. Being a homeless individual with no family, he was slated for cremation, and preparations were underway to handle the blood on his body and place him in the freezer.
Unexpectedly, he revived in the middle of the night, surprising everyone, including the paramedics from 120 who arrived later. While such occurrences are rare in medicine, the immediate concern shifted to rushing him to the emergency room for treatment.
Once the police and ambulance left, the girl, initially composed, nervously completed the final makeup for the previously presumed deceased. Together, they left the crematorium. Despite today’s unexpected events, it undoubtedly left a profound psychological impact on the girl.
In the evening, Lin Yang sought refuge in a nearby hotel. As he lay on the bed, he reflected on the day’s events and contemplated the situation with the system.
[Name: Lin Yang].
[Points: 10021].
[Skill: God Rider].
[props: none].
Note: You can increase your points by increasing your popularity through live streaming and draw a prize for every 10,000 points you consume.
….
After a day of live streaming, Lin Yang’s points exceeded 10,000, filling him with excitement.
“System, draw!” He exclaimed.
The system responded, “Ding! It costs 10,000 points. Congratulations on winning the singing skill, and you’ll also receive a complete set of Earth’s golden songs!”
Hearing this, Lin Yang was stunned. He got up from bed in disbelief, realising that singing skills were practically useless as an online taxi driver. Would he need to serenade passengers for a star-free service?
Examining the extra skill on the system panel, Lin Yang felt disappointed and decided to cover himself with the quilt and fall asleep. However, a sudden knock on the door jolted him awake in the middle of the night.
“Boom Boom~~~.”
Lin Yang impatiently asked, “Who is it? Knocking in the middle of the night!”
A voice replied, “Hi, I’m from the Public Security Bureau. I’d like you to help investigate something.”
Startled, Lin Yang worried that his luck had taken a turn for the worse. Had he accidentally caused harm to someone? Anxiously, he opened the door to find two police officers and several middle-aged people.
Trying to clear his name, Lin Yang hastily explained, “Uncle Policeman, I’m a law-abiding citizen. I haven’t broken any laws!”
The policeman chuckled and assured him, “Don’t worry, you didn’t break the law. We need your assistance in an investigation, and someone is here to talk to you.”
Perplexed, Lin Yang glanced at the middle-aged people behind the officers. A man named Jiang Qing stepped forward, introducing himself. He explained that Lin Yang had rescued their father, who had been missing for three years.
Jiang Qing continued, “He woke up after being sent to the crematorium, but he was badly injured and passed out shortly after. As strange as it sounds, your punch miraculously dispersed the congestion in his brain, saving him.”
Realising the series of coincidences, Lin Yang smiled and waved it off, saying, “I didn’t do anything special. Just glad he’s okay.”
Jiang Qing expressed gratitude, revealing that his father might not have survived without Lin Yang’s intervention. The doctor discovered Lin Yang’s role, and the punch proved crucial in saving his father’s life.
“In addition,” Jiang Qing added, “you gave him water to stop the bleeding and pulled him back from the gate of hell.”
In the end, they all shared a moment of laughter, recognising the extraordinary twists of fate.
