Chapter 213: Is Shajin Fishing for Fireworks on Every Street Corner?

The video continues.

【You want to chat with me?】

【Sure, but don't bring up sensitive topics.】

Shajin now approached a PipiXi girl.

She was a news anchor.

【Young Lady, take these gems.】

Shajin once again began distributing wealth.

【The richer someone is, the wilder they play in dreams—but I've never met anyone who freely gives money away.】

【Are you also the prince who hands out golden robes, melting your leaden heart in flames?】

The PipiXi girl was astonished by Shajin's actions.

【Ha, you flatter me too much…】

【How could I possibly be a prince?】

【I merely hope these gems will open the door to conversation—perhaps your career as an investigative journalist has crossed paths with death before?】

Shajin smiled and explained his purpose.

【Oh, another curious person.】

【You know what? That was exactly the kind of story I wanted to pursue when I started—but the station chief shut it down.】

The PipiXi girl spoke of her past experiences.

【How did your station chief convince you?】

Shajin asked.

【The reason wasn't exactly noble…】

【She just said reporting baseless urban legends makes us look like a third-rate tabloid.】

【I thought about it… she had a point.】

【Like the idea that blowing out birthday candles invites nightmares from ghosts…】

【It does sound unprofessional coming from us.】

The PipiXi girl replied.

【Heh, that's really far-fetched…】

【Still, thanks for sharing.】

Shajin politely thanked her,

then left.

Hu Tao: "It feels like Shajin's investigation isn't going very well?"

Hu Tao: "These clues are mostly hearsay."

Hu Tao: "Never mind whether they're true or false—they're not detailed enough."

Funingna: "Yeah, there's not even a single entry point…"

Funingna: "Isn't Shajin just wasting time?"

March 7th: "It feels like he's given up and is just waiting to die…"

Servant: "Mr. Shajin doesn't seem like the type to give up easily."

Servant: "Everything he's doing must have his own purpose."

Himeko: "Correct. To become a corporate elite, Mr. Shajin couldn't possibly have only these few tricks."

Stelle: "By the way, how many gems did Shajin bring in that bag?"
