After some digging, they found the original video. The police had released an official statement about content creator Harvard Schumacher pretending to be one of the girls who had nearly drowned. He had posted videos with horrible sentiments on her
behalf, causing public unrest. He was arrested on the 15th.
The girl’s real account had also been found, and her comments were flooded with apologies.
The girl was moved to tears. Her faith in the world had been restored!
As for Harvard, he faced intense hatred. All of his accounts were banned, but netizens managed to find his parents’ contact information.
Karma had finally caught up with him.
Harvard’s parents faced the consequences…
Their relatives and friends also mocked them about their son. Furious, they went to look for him.
“I want to give him a piece of my mind!” Harvard’s father cursed.
Harvard’s mother sighed. “Tell him to come home, please!”
This only made her husband even more enraged. “How am I supposed to do that? Give him a call? He won’t listen unless you beat some sense into him.”
Harvard’s mother sobbed, “I told him not to go, but he wouldn’t listen! He’s been away from home for eight years, but he never brings any money back. I’d rather he be ignorant! At least he would work hard instead of getting into trouble!”
The couple had known from an early age that their son was intelligent.
He was so smart that he never paid attention in class, so smart that he never wanted to get a job and work hard. He was always thinking of ways to get rich quickly.
His poor parents worried day and night, afraid that he would do something terrible that would bring trouble to the family.
But he was their son, and they couldn’t just abandon him…
Harvard was unaware of all this.
Being locked up was fine. It was only fifteen days, not a big deal at all!
He would be released in fifteen days and everything would be fine!
He now truly understood the secret to going viral. There were hot topics every day, and all he needed to do was take a stance against them. It was so easy.
People who earnestly filmed videos in this day and age were fools. The smarter ones would just ride on the coattails of others! It was easier, took less time, and going viral was a breeze…
Harvard thought about all this, his eyes filled with increasing greed as he chuckled to himself, leaning against the iron bars.
Just then, the door opened with a clang, revealing a man and a little girl standing in front of the metal door.
It was Blake and Lilly.
Harvard sat up, completely stunned.
He stuttered, “W-what are you trying to do?”
Blake scoffed. “Don’t worry. We can talk it out.”
Blake thought to himself, Here we go again!
“B-bro, come on, man…” Harvard looked distraught. He couldn’t handle friendly conversation!
Lilly finally met this terrifying man who had chopped off his finger. She tugged lightly on Blake’s shirt.
She asked softly, “There’s no spirit on his head, Master?”
How strange. There was definitely a darkness emanating from this man.
A regular person wouldn’t have such a dark aura. How could that be?
Pablo stared at Harvard. “Tulip, have you heard of Nasties?”
Lilly shook her head.
Pablo said, “Nasties were historically described as different monsters. Nowadays, they’re described as all sorts of horrible people.”
“But why don’t they just go by their names if they’re people? Well, people these days say that some human beings are too rotten to be considered human. That’s why.”
“The truth is, there really is a type of ghost that resides in a human being’s spirit, but is just like a ghost.”
Lilly nodded, partially confused and partially understanding.
“Do you mean this man is like a living ghost?”
Pablo blinked.
He had explained all of that.
Only for her to summarize everything in two words.
Pablo nodded quietly. “Yes, that’s also true…”
Lilly cast a disdainful glance at him. “Just call him a living ghost then! What was the point of rambling on for so long? So insincere.”
How are you supposed to educate a kid, really?
Pablo was speechless.
Lilly asked again, “Master, will this man still be alive if we take care of the living ghost in him?”
Pablo said, “Well, he would be dead if we were to actually remove his spirit. What do you think we should do with him, Lilly?”
Lilly pondered for a moment before saying, “Kill him?”
Blake spat out the mouthful of mineral water he had just taken. “Cough cough, Darling, watch what you’re saying!”
He had brought her to see Harvard, not to kill people.
Lilly quickly covered her mouth.
Harvard was speechless.
His legs wobbled and he fell to his knees. “P-please, bro, don’t kill me…”
Lilly grunted. “What if I told you that’s not what I meant…”
Harvard thought to himself, I’d be a fool to believe you!
He sobbed, repeatedly kowtowing on the floor, promising to never do it again, along with a bunch of other nonsense.
Lilly pursed her lips, not believing him in the slightest.
“Well, what should we do?” She sincerely asked Pablo.
Pablo said, “We will remove his dark aura and destroy half of his soul.”
Lilly asked, “Does that mean he will be half-alive and half-dead? Will he lose his mind?”
Harvard thought, What?! She wanted to beat him to a pulp and drive him insane?
He stopped short. This little kid was nothing like the innocent girl she appeared to be. No, she was ruthless!
Why were they seeking revenge on him for such a small matter when they were so wealthy?
Harvard began to shout, “Help! Police, please! I’m being murdered!”
Blake smirked. “Go ahead. No one will come.”
