Chapter 176: Chapter 164: ’Revived’ (Looking for Monthly Votes!)_2

"...It’s already the 21st century, Mr. Temple..."

Why is Beichuan Si so clueless? Shen Gu Mirai wondered if she hadn’t dressed prettily enough today.

"Even if it were the 31st century, a man like me should not be alone in a room with a young girl like you," Beichuan Si replied, lifting his eyes, his tone firm.

He too was a man and had those kinds of needs, which was not shameful. However, knowing something was inappropriate and not restraining oneself, that was truly shameful.

"Mr. Temple, Mr. Temple! You can’t be so stubborn!" Shen Gu Mirai stomped her foot, following behind Beichuan Si as she spoke.

"It’s not about being stubborn or not, Shen Gu, are you the kind of girl who casually stays alone in a room with a boy?"

"I, I... Of course I’m not!"

Shen Gu Mirai stomped her foot again, feeling a terrible itch of frustration inside.

If it wasn’t with you, Beichuan Si, would I even consider other boys worthy? Not to mention living together, even choosing friends needs careful selection!

"Because it’s Mr. Temple, that’s why I trust you! That’s why I feel so safe." Shen Gu Mirai blushed, finally letting out a shout in frustrated abandon.

That statement made Beichuan Si stop in his tracks.

His expression unchanged, he looked away and asked calmly, "I appreciate your trust, Shen Gu, but I still want to ask you something."

"What do you want to ask?" Shen Gu Mirai said, her voice filled with annoyance.

"I should be considered a normal teenager, right?"

"Of course! Mr. Temple is definitely a normal teenager," Shen Gu Mirai nodded.

Beichuan Si was handsome and charming, and aside from having some extraordinary abilities and a particularly cold demeanor, he was a very normal teenager.

"And Shen Gu, you are a cute girl, right?" Beichuan Si asked again.

"Of course!" Shen Gu Mirai proudly puffed out her chest.

There was no need for modesty in this situation; Shen Gu Mirai really was cute, or else she wouldn’t have received so many love letters.

"Since you’re a very cute girl and I’m a normal teenager, what makes you think I wouldn’t suddenly make a move on you?"

Uh—

Shen Gu Mirai stopped.

Then she somewhat excitedly responded:

"Does that mean Mr. Temple would have the normal reactions of a young man when he sees me?"

"????" Beichuan Si.

What on earth was this young girl thinking?

Shen Gu Mirai’s thought process was indeed peculiar, but on reflection, it made sense.

Since Beichuan Si was a normal young man, he would naturally be drawn to beauty, which is a natural human reaction.

"Not bad," Beichuan Si nodded, expressionless.

"Really?" Shen Gu Mirai stopped.

She covered her mouth tightly with her little hand, her pale face blushing, her heart beating rapidly, and only after stamping her feet several times did she gently exhale.

But even then, her face remained flushed.

Shen Gu Mirai was incredibly happy.

At least Beichuan Si’s attitude showed that her efforts hadn’t been in vain.

"Uh... Well... since that’s the case, I guess I’ll just go home today then, the room I booked... hehehe... Mr. Temple can sleep in it,"

Shen Gu Mirai laughed while patting her own head.

Beichuan Si, who had been watching her the whole time, couldn’t help but frown.

But given her inexplicable feelings, he wisely chose not to say anything.

...

Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai went to the bed-and-breakfast room she had booked, and after processing the room transfer, Shen Gu Mirai skipped away, literally bouncing as she walked, radiating happiness like a child.

"It’s inexplicable," Beichuan Si touched his chin.

He thought he would have to spend some time explaining, but unexpectedly, Shen Gu Mirai suddenly changed her mind, leaving Beichuan Si temporarily confused.

And beside his collar, Nishijou Kelian showed an understanding expression typical of someone who gets Shen Gu Mirai.

"Let’s not worry about that for now and start getting ready."

Beichuan Si picked up Kelian, withdrew his gaze, and put Shen Gu Mirai’s matters aside.

He had important things to do tonight and needed to prepare early.

Beichuan Si opened his backpack, took out his cellphone, flashlight, three Shinra Bells, and three Voodoo Dolls. Then he pulled out the sketch map of the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory he had drawn, compared it over and over again, and finally put the map into his waist pouch.

"Next, we just wait for tonight."

Beichuan Si let out a breath, his eyes flickering.

Everything was ready; they were just waiting for midnight.

Beichuan Si rested in his room all afternoon and, after a simple dinner, left.

The current time was nine o’clock at night.

There was one hour left before the lottery.

This time Beichuan Si had gotten his number early, and Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi had already told him that this time it would be a secret operation, and the last number drawn would definitely be his.

"This is the first time it’s been rigged."

But this made things much easier, at least without needing Kelian’s abilities.

Beichuan Si hid among the crowd, fiddling with his number 23 badge.

After a while, following the procedure in Yashan City, someone came down to distribute the number badges.

A little after the distribution was complete, Yamakou Hideyasu announced the winning number.

"Let’s congratulate our friend with number 23."

Beichuan Si walked onto the stage without a word.

As soon as he saw him on stage, Yamakou Hideyasu let out a playful hiss and feigned surprise, saying, "I remember you, you are Mr. Beichuan from that time at Xucha High School!"

Tanaka Takashi also cooperated very well as he said, "Oh my, what a coincidence, Hideyasu and I picked Mr. Beichuan again."

Beichuan Si watched Yamakou Hideyasu’s and Tanaka Takashi’s performance silently.

These two were forced by life to act this way.

Meanwhile, someone in the YouTube live stream recognized Beichuan Si,

"Holy crap? Mr. Beichuan! The godfather Takashi and Hideyasu cling to!"

"What’s going on? Do Takashi and Hideyasu know the audience member who came up?"

"This is more than just knowing each other, do you guys remember the live broadcast accident at Xucha High School?"

"The Xucha High School live video footage wasn’t it all deleted? They said it really was a paranormal event."

Someone replied confusedly in the chat.

"That time I was at the scene, I saw with my own eyes it was this Mr. Beichuan, one kid in each hand, carrying Takashi and Hideyasu out."

"Is this Mr. Beichuan that fierce?"

The chat in the live room surged, and even the popularity soared significantly.

Clearly, the appearance of Beichuan Si, a person with great showmanship, had influenced the atmosphere in the live stream.

"When do we start?" Beichuan Si asked, turning his head.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Temple."

Yamakou Hideyasu cut the live feed, greeted the other staff, and then asked, "Mr. Temple, could you also wear the same sports recording equipment as us? It definitely won’t be in the way."

"The same as you...?"

"Yes, since you left last time, Mr. Temple, we’ve come up with a new broadcasting technique. We’ve started to include the audience’s perspective to make the live stream feel scarier—of course, if Mr. Temple doesn’t wish to, Takashi and I have no complaints."

"...Hurry up then," Beichuan Si said indifferently.

After all, he was only going to explore the periphery, not venture deep inside.

Since Takashi and the others had already shortened the live stream time as he had requested, Beichuan Si didn’t mind meeting this small request of theirs.

"Okay! We’re ready right away!" As soon as Beichuan Si agreed, Tanaka Takashi immediately signaled his team behind him.

Several people approached to fit a set of mobile cameras and various professional sports cameras onto Beichuan Si.

After finishing, Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sanmu Abandoned Doll Factory live stream, starting now!"

With a beep, all the machines started operating.

Beichuan Si seemed to vaguely sense something, his eyes looking inward.

Sanmu Abandoned Doll Factory...

It seemed to have ’come to life.’
