Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

But before Situ Shuangshuang could respond, Dong Wentao sighed dejectedly, "What's the use of calling the police? Lin Shan is just a minor child, he won't face any legal repercussions! He'll just get away with it scot-free!"

Saying this, Dong Wentao couldn't help but kick the wall angrily and complained to Situ Shuangshuang, "Why aren't there any laws that sentence minors who commit murder to life imprisonment? Anyway, kids who kill at such a young age are no good, better to keep them locked up to prevent them from harming society when they grow up and become a menace!"

Seeing Dong Wentao's frustrated and indignant expression, Situ Shuangshuang said calmly, "How can calling the police be useless? Even if Lin Shan can't pay with his life, Mi Hongyi's parents can receive some compensation, which might bring Mi Hongyi some peace. As for Lin Shan and his parents, even if the law can't punish them, Mi Hongyi can avenge himself. Lin Shan is about to wake up; once he does, it will be the beginning of justice being served!"

Dong Wentao looked at Situ Shuangshuang in confusion, not understanding her words. This time, Situ Shuangshuang didn't intend to clarify things for him!

But without Situ Shuangshuang's explanation, Dong Wentao understood what she meant five days later.

Because Wang Shuzhen brought the now-awakened Lin Shan to Situ Shuangshuang's place, pleading for their lives at her doorstep. When Situ Shuangshuang pretended not to hear, she started cursing her lack of sympathy outside!

But Wang Shuzhen's cursing was in vain. Situ Shuangshuang still ignored them, so after a round of cursing, Wang Shuzhen resorted to playing the victim, begging for help. When begging didn't work, she went back to cursing, creating a scene at Situ Shuangshuang's door.

Situ Shuangshuang knew Wang Shuzhen was trying to attract onlookers and use her current pitiful state to mislead those who didn't know the truth into pressuring Situ Shuangshuang to save her and Lin Shan.

Since Situ Shuangshuang was aware of Wang Shuzhen's petty schemes, she certainly wouldn't let her succeed. She directly used a spell to shield all the noise here so that everyone passing by would ignore the tantrum-throwing Wang Shuzhen and the crying, wailing Lin Shan.

After shielding, Situ Shuangshuang let Wang Shuzhen and Lin Shan continue their antics outside, treating it like just another noisy spectacle. The more pathetic their cries, the more pleased she felt!

Even Dong Wentao abandoned his initial sunny, dashing persona when he first met Situ Shuangshuang. He moved a ladder to the wall, climbed up with some sunflower seeds in hand, intending to witness firsthand what a fishwife scolding looked like!

But as soon as he looked down, Dong Wentao almost threw up from the sight of the mother and son below!

The mother and son who were perfectly fine the last time he saw them now had skin, including their faces, covered with egg-sized, human-faced purplish-red tumors! What disgusted Dong Wentao was that while some tumors were intact, others were already pitted and decaying! The rotting flesh even oozed yellow pus, looking utterly repulsive!

Watching Dong Wentao drop the sunflower seeds in his hand and climb down pale-faced, Situ Shuangshuang was amused internally but maintained a cool demeanor on the surface, saying lightly, "Were you too curious and got disgusted?"

Dong Wentao, with a grim expression, mimed gagging and complained to Situ Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, you're too merciless. You must have known they turned into this nauseating state and didn't tell me! That's it, I won't be able to eat for days now!"

Situ Shuangshuang casually poured a cup of tea and handed it over, flipping through her Taoist Book with a calm expression, "With your intense curiosity, would you feel satisfied without seeing it for yourself? Since that's the case, why should I waste my breath!"

Dong Wentao took a sip of tea, and as he looked down, he saw the bright, light yellow tea. In that instant, he recalled the yellow pus oozing from the human-faced purple tumors on Wang Shuzhen and Lin Shan!

Ugh!

Dong Wentao dropped the cup and only had time to rush to the tree roots on the side to vomit intensely!

Situ Shuangshuang was briefly confused as she watched him suddenly vomit before she glanced at the broken teacup on the ground with the light yellow tea still in it, finally realizing why Dong Wentao got sick!

Ahem!

Feeling embarrassed, Situ Shuangshuang glanced at the bent-over Dong Wentao, swearing she'd only meant to offer tea to calm him, not deliberately nauseate him!

Dong Wentao, after quite a bit of effort, finally finished throwing up, cleaned up after himself, and sat in front of Situ Shuangshuang, with reddened eyes from tears caused by vomiting, glaring accusingly at her!

Situ Shuangshuang kept her composure outwardly but felt slightly guilty internally, so she tried to divert Dong Wentao's attention by saying, "Do you want to know why that mother and son became like this? And what those things growing on them are?"

Sure enough, Dong Wentao's attention was immediately diverted, and he nodded quickly, "I want to know! Shuangshuang, tell me what exactly is going on! It's only been a few days, and they've turned into this state!"

Situ Shuangshuang set down the Taoist Book in her hand, speaking calmly, "Those things growing on their bodies are called Ghost-faced Pox. A vengeful ghost who died unjustly will lodge itself in the person responsible for its death. The host of such a ghost will develop purplish-red tumors resembling the face of the person they killed. These tumors are the Ghost-faced Pox."

"A vengeful ghost can inhabit multiple enemies at once, causing them to grow Ghost-faced Pox. Although Mi Hongyi was killed by Lin Shan, if it weren't for Lin Shan's parents indulging him without teaching any sense of guilt for killing someone, he wouldn't have turned out like this."

"Lin Shan is Mi Hongyi's murder enemy, and his parents are also among Mi Hongyi's enemies, so the Ghost-faced Pox infested them too! Initially, the Ghost-faced Pox only causes body-wide pain. At this stage, children may fall into deep sleep due to physical weakness. Lin Shan's prolonged unconsciousness was due to the growth of the Ghost-faced Pox. Now that he's awake, it means the Ghost-faced Pox has matured."

"Once the Ghost-faced Pox matures, it's the start of the ghost's revenge, as they cause the body to decay and continually increase in number. Once the Ghost-faced Pox covers the entire body, the host will rot completely and die! Now the Ghost-faced Pox on this family's bodies has matured and begun to rot; in less than half a year, they will all rot away completely and die!"
