#Psychopath Headlines: Shu Ran Pretends To Be Sick To Scare People Whenever Possible#

Dida dida—

When Ming Shu opened her eyes, she saw the floor clock’s pendulum swinging before her eyes.
She was now lying on her side, her head on her arms, as if she had suddenly fallen here.
The floor was covered with a blanket, and on the dark carpet lay a few white tablets.
She covered her head and sat up.
Her head was heavy and she felt very uncomfortable.
Ming Shu paused and began to look around the room.
The whole room’s tonality was very depressing. In the room, Ming Shu didn’t see many decorations.
The black curtains were tightly closed, and through the gap a faint light shone in.
Ming Shu stood up to open the curtains. The sudden light made her squint.
Outside was a garden with a swimming pool, where someone was cutting flowers and plants, and by the pool, some servants were setting up a buffet table.
Ming Shu squinted and watched for a moment.
Then she turned to walk outside the room.
But the door seemed to be locked; she could not open it at all.
Ming Shu looked at her pajamas and at the scattered medicine bottles on the table.
Determined not to waste her energy, she sat back on the bed and began to process the Host’s memory.
Shu Ran.
The Shu family’s beloved daughter.
When they were young, Shu Ran’s parents struggled and accumulated a lot of family fortune, a positive example of starting from scratch.
They had a happy life.
However, in an accident, Shu Ran’s parents both died, leaving Shu Ran a large family fortune.
She was still a minor, so her uncle, with the excuse that she did not understand the company, coaxed her and controlled the Shu family’s industry for her.
Her uncle was kind and amiable, helping her arrange the funeral for her parents and comforting her.
Shu Ran had just lost her parents, so at this time she might wholeheartedly trust anyone who was good to her.
Then her uncle and his family moved in on the grounds of taking care of her.
At first it was fine. Her uncle was very kind to her.
It was just Shu Xue, her uncle’s daughter, who occasionally argued with her.
Uncle would always stand on her side at such moments.
Since Uncle was so nice to her, Shu Ran would always give way to Shu Xue. But Shu Xue would go further and further, and then Uncle would scold her, going round and round. Shu Xue hated her very much.
Two years went by like this.
One day, Shu Ran suddenly began to hallucinate.
Uncle took her to see a doctor, and the doctor said it was because she missed her parents too much. But it was not a big problem, and the doctor gave her some sedatives.
But Shu Ran found her problems were getting worse and worse.
Shu Ran knew deep down that there was nothing wrong with her.
But the doctor said she was mentally ill.
She was given a lot of medicine.
Uncle also forbade her to go out. In the beginning, she could move around the villa.
Gradually, she was only allowed on the ground floor.
At last she was shut up in a room.
Uncle always kindly told her that she would recover, as long as she listened to the doctor. She would be fine.
However, gradually, Shu Ran discovered she seemed to be really ill.
So in the end, Shu Ran may have died of overdose, which caused her to be too emotional.
That uncle was not a good man at first glance.
The Host was fine, how could she suddenly start hallucinating?
And was eventually diagnosed with psychosis?
Shu Ran’s parents didn’t inherit their family fortune from the former generation, but gained it through their own efforts, so Shu Ran’s uncle was very envious.
But Shu Ran’s parents were generous to their relatives. They gave them shares, which could earn them quite a lot of bonus money each year.
But compared to the Shu family’s fortune, that money was certainly not enough.
Then Shu Ran’s parents died.
They left an underaged daughter.
It seemed normal for Shu Ran’s uncle to plan on something else.
Ming Shu went through the memories in order, and now she was locked up in a room…

How can I have food this way! 

Ming Shu turned over and got up, but her head was spinning… and she fell down again.
Alas!
Ming Shu lay on the bed for a long time.
There was nothing to eat in the room—except the medicine.
This body had small arms and legs, just a weak chicken.
Ming Shu remembered that she had a mobile snack store, the Harmony System.
And it wouldn’t need Aura Points now.

If it dares not give me snacks…!

[…] 
No, I don’t dare. I’ll serve you everything, Guest. 

Ming Shu sat on the bed and tore apart a snack bag.
It was already half past three in the afternoon, and the Host only had a small breakfast in the morning; no one had brought her food since noon.
The Host had a bout of sickness and took too much medicine…
Perhaps she was too hungry.
What a poor girl.
Feeling less physically uncomfortable, Ming Shu lifted her sleeves and walked to the door.

I have a master key!


Dismantle the door?


I’m not that violent. 

And that would also waste too much energy.
Ming Shu opened the door. Outside was a corridor, which was the same dark color as the room.
It wasn’t like this before.
It was changed into this later.
Presumably they were trying to make the Host go mad faster.
This was the fourth floor of the villa, which was not for living. The rest of the rooms were used to store the sundries, or for entertainment.
The Host lived on the second floor originally.
But her uncle said she needed to rest quietly to recuperate.
He made her move to the fourth floor.
There were two reasons for her moving here.
The first reason was that Shu Xue wanted her room. When they first moved in, Shu Xue yelled about wanting to live in Shu Ran’s room.
But at that time, they had just moved in, and Shu Ran’s uncle scolded Shu Xue fiercely.
But now she had been diagnosed by the doctor with a mental illness, of course Shu Xue got what she wanted.
The second reason was that they were afraid of her running away.
After all, the fourth floor was so high that it was more difficult to run away from there than the second floor.
Ming Shu arrived at the stairs on the fourth floor, where a new door was installed.
…
The kitchen smelled of food and the servants were busy.

Quickly, quickly, today Young Miss will invite her classmates to come over. Is the cake ready?


What’s that dilly-dallying about there?


These are not good, do it again!

The butler was directing people to do things when he suddenly noticed a figure coming in through the front door in his peripheral vision.
The young girl wore a one-piece night skirt, and her hair was scattered down her shoulders casually, looking a little messy.
The girl’s features were delicate. Her face was unpainted, slightly pale, and with a kind of delicate beauty.
She went into the noisy kitchen.
The servants suddenly seemed to press the pause button in the kitchen.
They looked at her one after another.
The only sound left in the kitchen was the bubbling of the soup.
Ming Shu walked to the long table, looking steadily forward. She picked up the pastry and stuffed one into her mouth.

Who let her down!
The butler reacted, and shouted,
Get her up there, what if Miss’s classmates see her!

Shouted at by the butler, one of the servants, who was nearest to Ming Shu, immediately grabbed her arm.

Miss, why did you come down here? Go back quickly, don’t mess things up here.

The servant didn’t speak politely at all.
She called her Miss, yet acted as if she were the master.
She pulled Ming Shu and tried to drag her outside.
Ming Shu was pulled back several steps.
Ming Shu put the dessert in her mouth, then took the servant’s wrist with a backhand, and twisted it outward.

Ahhhhh—!

The servant gave out a terrible scream.
She couldn’t get away from her grip.
The scream sent the kitchen back into eerie silence.
After releasing her hand, Ming Shu smiled at the servant and said,
Don’t touch me.

The servant’s face twisted with pain; she was frightened.
