Overbearing Immortal Doctor-Chapter 421: Playing the Supernatural
At midnight, Zhang Dadan was sound asleep when suddenly, an urgent phone ringing jolted him awake from his sweet dreams.
Zhang Dadan instinctively groped under the pillow for his phone, only to find its screen dark with no signs of any call.
Where did that phone ringing come from? Zhang Dadan was puzzled, but he soon heard someone whispering outside the room.
"Hey! Brother! Why didn’t you set your phone on vibrate? What if you wake up Zhang Dadan?" a female voice said.
"Who knew that woman would call so late at night? Alright, cut the chatter..." a dull male voice responded.
The man and woman were none other than the young masters of the Sunx Mansion, Sunx Liancheng and Sunx Yan.
Hearing their sneaky noise, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but feel curious. What are these two up to, staying awake so late?
Curious, Zhang Dadan listened more patiently and heard Sunx Yan chuckle triumphantly, "Bro, you think Zhang Dadan won’t get scared sick?"
Sunx Liancheng hesitated and replied, "He probably won’t! Besides, isn’t he the Divine Doctor? What’s there to worry about!"
"True! Brother, you go to his window and play the water harp, I’ll get the costumes ready!" Sunx Yan said sneakily.
Water harp? Hearing this, Zhang Dadan became even more puzzled. Why are they going to my window to play some water harp? Are they trying to help me sleep?
As Zhang Dadan was mulling this over, Sunx Liancheng tiptoed to Zhang Dadan’s window holding a strange musical instrument and began to pluck it haphazardly.
With a small iron rod with a round head, he casually plucked the strings of the eerie instrument, producing a sinister and chilling melody.
The sinister and chilling music was exactly like the background music in horror movies, making his hair stand on end.
Hearing that creepy music, Zhang Dadan remembered their earlier conversation and finally realized what they were up to.
These two were trying to play ghosts to scare him. Bad luck for them, they ran into me. Today, we’ll see who’s scaring whom!
"Ah? What’s that sound? What... what’s happening?" Zhang Dadan said feigning confusion and fear.
The pair outside, hearing Zhang Dadan’s fearful muttering, grew even more smug. Aren’t you supposed to be the Divine Doctor? Why are you so scared of ghosts?
Since you’re so afraid of ghosts and so timid, we’ll be kind and give you the thrill of your life!
Hearing Zhang Dadan’s frightened cries, Sunx Yan was overjoyed. Wearing a white gauze robe and rollerblades, she began to float back and forth outside Zhang Dadan’s window.
Zhang Dadan saw this and pretended to be scared out of his wits, babbling nonsensically, "Oh my gosh! What... what’s this... ah? I... I... ah..."
The pair outside, seeing Zhang Dadan lose his wits, became even more smug. Weren’t you arrogant? Weren’t you a tough guy? Now look at you, scared stupid!
"Zhang—Da—dan, have you ever done anything bad? Confess now, or I’ll take you away..." Sunx Yan drawled with a coaxing tone.
Zhang Dadan, trembling all over, replied, "I... I... I’ve always been selfless, putting others first, helping others happily, treating everyone equally, and being honest and upright..."
"A resilient, loyal, noble, and pure-hearted good person who has never done anything bad!"
Zhang Dadan’s series of self-praises left the pair outside dumbfounded. What the heck? Why is this not going according to the usual script? You’ve never done anything bad since childhood? Impossible!
Sunx Yan hesitated for a moment, then continued in a spooky tone, "Zhang Dadan! How dare you fool me, I’m going to eat you now..."
Seeing his sister about to go all out, Sunx Liancheng stopped playing the water harp, took a wooden box from his pocket, and opened it, revealing a small steel canister.
Sunx Liancheng carefully walked to the door, gently pushed it open, placed the steel canister inside, and cautiously opened its lid.
As soon as the iron lid was opened, wisps of white mist wafted out, resembling the appearance of a female ghost from a horror movie.
After the white mist drifted into the room, Sunx Yan floated in, looking no different from a ghost in the mist.
The room’s electricity had already been cut off by the pair, preventing Zhang Dadan from turning on the lights. Zhang Dadan, wanting to toy with the siblings, made no attempt to turn on the lights either.
Zhang Dadan saw Sunx Yan with disheveled hair and long, sharp nails, floating near the door, and pretended to shiver in fear, saying, "I really... really haven’t done anything bad!"
Sunx Yan, seeing that he still wasn’t confessing, stepped closer and floated to the side of his bed, baring her fangs and saying, "Today I’ll take you away~~"
"Wh... why? Even though I’m handsome and talented, you can’t force me to marry you, right? Besides, humans and ghosts cannot be together; you should reincarnate soon!" Zhang Dadan advised.
Squatting at the door, Sunx Liancheng was even more bewildered by Zhang Dadan’s words. What the heck is going on?
Is this a normal reaction? Shouldn’t he be begging for mercy, confessing all the bad things he has done?
Why is Zhang Dadan not playing according to the script? Could it be... could it be that he already knows the ghost is fake?
But this isn’t the first time my sister and I have done this; we’ve always been good at it and never given ourselves away. How did Zhang Dadan figure it out?
Standing by Zhang Dadan’s bed, Sunx Yan, seeing that Zhang Dadan suddenly was no longer afraid and even suggested marrying him, was also full of doubts. What’s going on in this world? Are there really people who aren’t afraid of ghosts?
"Zhang—Da—dan, how dare you mock me! Today I’ll send you to hell~~" Sunx Yan, gritting her teeth, continued her act.
Hearing his sister’s words from outside, Sunx Liancheng quickly pulled out a round ball, placed it at the door, pressed the button on it, and the room instantly began to flicker with lights.
Zhang Dadan, seeing they had another trick up their sleeves, continued to play along with their act, sneering, "So what if I go to hell? I came from hell!"
’I came from hell!’ Zhang Dadan’s words stunned the pair. What... what the heck?
Zhang Dadan’s sinister grin sent shivers down Sunx Yan and Sunx Liancheng’s spines. Was Zhang Dadan implying he was also a ghost?
After a moment of reflection, they burst out laughing. They often played at being ghosts and naturally didn’t believe in that sort of thing.
However, the fact that Zhang Dadan could say something like that meant he must have figured out their trick, making it pointless to keep pretending.
Sunx Yan took off her mask, smoothed her tangled hair, and said discontentedly, "Zhang Dadan, you really are bold. You won this time!"
Hearing her admit defeat, Sunx Liancheng, who was squatting at the door, also got up and walked in, asking curiously, "Zhang Dadan, how did you figure out we were pretending to be ghosts?"
"Yeah... we’ve played ghosts many times, and no one has ever caught us!" Sunx Yan, though unwilling, was helpless.
While they were chatting away, they noticed that Zhang Dadan was completely ignoring them, making them even more annoyed. We’ve already admitted defeat, why are you still so relentless?
Sunx Liancheng, unhappy with his trick being revealed, saw Zhang Dadan ignoring him and became even more resentful, shouting, "Hey! Zhang Dadan, we’re talking to you!"
