[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 230

Xiao Li didn't tell all of his stories. After all, these stories were too long and it was estimated that he would need to write a list. From these stories, he randomly selected a few representative examples such as respecting the elderly, loving the young and helping a young girl find her own 'body'...

Wang Huai, who had seen the forum and knew the truth, had an expression: 'subway, old man, mobile phone.' (TL: It seems to be a popular meme/emoticon in China)

He was standing closest to Xiao Li and watched attentively as the live broadcast room grew in popularity and there was a sharp increase in the barrage. The barrage screen might be mostly full of confused question marks and angry curses but this didn't stop Sherlock from being popular.

Tut, this was really-

Wang Huai shook his head.

Wang Huai had actually figured out how to stand out at this welcome party. In fact, the truth was very simple as long as they realized that this broadcast, this program was for ghosts, not humans. They just needed to master this core idea.

The previous people might have described the reasons for their sentencing and tried to exonerate themselves, but they ignored this fact. The reason for exoneration was based on the viewpoint of a human but these 'reviewers' were ghosts. The careful thoughts that worked for humans weren't feasible for them.

From this perspective, the opposite was true. The thing they should do was to exaggerate their crimes. If they killed one person then they should kill two, indirectly making a fault in order to please the ghosts. This completely opposite way would earn popularity.

The rules might require them to 'defend' their crime but they could start from another angle, which was to add to their crimes. Who said that adding a crime wasn't a defense? For example, the first Yu You. He completely focused on why he killed his wife. This might not conform with the moral views of humans and even ran counter to some of the barrages but this was the trap of the welcome party.

Whitewashers would only provoke certain ghosts that had the 'same viewpoint as humanity'. However, this was a minority. Most of the silent ghosts were killers.

Wang Huai could completely fake his crime to get first place but this was on the premise that there was no Sherlock among the prisoners. Sherlock single-handedly turned this quick-witted winning method into a contest of absurd stories.

Fake crimes couldn't beat him because Sherlock was telling the truth. In a sense, he might be whitewashing himself but the victimized ghosts on the barrage were angrily telling their tragic experiences and helping him 'exaggerate the crime.'

Wang Huai clearly knew that he couldn't beat Sherlock so he didn't even bother to struggle. As he did so many times after meeting Sherlock, it was better to sit beside him and be a salted fish. After all, in this type of game, why work when he could lie down and win?

Thinking for himself, carrying the big beam on his own, being burdened with the lives of himself and other people... this type of psychological burden couldn't be imagined by ordinary people. Therefore, most of the bigshots were a bit gloomy and psychologically pressured. Most of them were a bit abnormal.

It wasn't just Wang Huai looking at the barrage. Even the jailer in the distance seemed to be in a trance for a moment. It seemed that there had never been such a scene since the adjudication prison started cooperating with this supernatural variety show...

After Xiao Li, apart from a few old prisoners who went up, the reincarnators decided not to do anything and just casually told a story.

One reason was that they were afraid of being targeted by ghosts. The other reason was that experienced reincarnators knew the importance of keeping alive. In an instance world, there was no need to do things that they weren't sure about. In addition, Sherlock had always been considered a bigshot with a good reputation, unlike those people in the Judges. Therefore, the reincarnators made such a choice.
