Why Are All the Female Ghosts in the Thriller Game My Ex-Girlfriends? - Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: I’m Really Not the Murderer!
Jiang City.
“System?”
“System!”
“System, didn’t you promise that once I successfully conquered 200 girls, you’d awaken?”
“Where’s my ultimate reward? Where’s my heaven-defying grand prize? Do you want me to send you straight to the afterlife?”
“It’s been more than ten years! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day?”
Jiang Cheng never imagined that after completing the system’s mission and successfully conquering the 200th girl, the system would simply vanish into thin air.
It was truly gone.
No matter how he called out, there was no response.
It had completely disappeared.
If not for the items the system had rewarded him in the past still being there, Jiang Cheng might have believed he had developed a mental illness and that the system had only been a figment of his imagination.
But it wasn’t.
The system had appeared for real.
So… had the system just dumped him? Abandoned him? Lied to him?
Only he, Jiang Cheng, had ever been the one to dump others. And now, at the most critical moment, the system had dumped him?
He should never have trusted it. 200 girls. Now his kidneys felt like they had been forged a hundred times over.
Yes, Jiang Cheng was a transmigrator, but he had been reborn into this world as a baby. It was only after the system appeared that he awakened the memories of his previous life. It could be called retained wisdom from a past life.
After transmigrating, he discovered that the world he lived in had changed from Earth to Blue Star. His country had become the Great Xia Nation. Across the ocean, that country had become the Ugly Nation. Great Xia had unified Frog Island and the Rising Sun Nation.
Since that watery-named dynasty never existed here, Great Xia’s combat power was extremely strong. A hundred years ago, after the Nation of the Rising Sun launched an invasion against Great Xia, Great Xia initiated Operation Sunset and counterattacked their homeland directly.
From then on, the Nation of the Rising Sun became a special administrative region of Great Xia, called the Neon Region. Even the names of famous figures in the world had changed.
For example, a certain famous basketball player had become Cai Bankun. A certain famous “toothpick” had become Wu Xiaofan. A certain well-known founder of multiplayer sports had become Luo Zhixiang.
In short, many things were different.
And now it was already the year 2033. Back then, when he realized he had become an ordinary person in this life, he was stunned. In his previous life, he had been the CEO of a listed company.
A successful man, all right.
Fortunately, after each successful conquest, the system had given him a generous reward.
For example, ten years ago, after conquering his first girl, he received a reward of 100 million.
It was directly transferred to his account.
And recently, after conquering a girl who loved ancient-style culture, the system rewarded him with a villa worth several hundred million.
In short, every time he successfully conquered a girl, he would receive a substantial asset reward.
But Jiang Cheng clearly remembered that at the very beginning, the system had told him that as long as he successfully conquered 200 girls, he would receive a heaven-defying grand prize that could change the world.
So where was that grand prize?
“You useless system, you actually dumped me!”
Just as Jiang Cheng was cursing, the doorbell of his villa rang.
Could it be that Lin Sixue had come again? Not long ago, he had casually found a reason to break up with her. Over the past few days, she had been coming to his house repeatedly.
But he had to be firm. They had already broken up. How could they get back together?
However, when Jiang Cheng opened the door, it was not his ex-girlfriend Lin Sixue standing there, but two security officers in police uniforms.
“Huh.”
Why would the police come to his door? It couldn’t be because he broke up with Lin Sixue, right? Jiang Cheng felt confused.
Besides, all of his assets were legally obtained. If the police wanted to investigate him, they would have done so long ago when he received his first major reward from the system.
“Hello. Are you Jiang Cheng?”
One of the slightly overweight officers looked serious. Both of them fixed their eyes on Jiang Cheng.
“Yes. I haven’t committed any crime, have I?” Jiang Cheng felt puzzled. He had always followed the law. Even when conquering girls, he only pursued one at a time. After completing the conquest, he would find a reason to break up.
He never dated two at once. He was a law-abiding citizen, and he even paid his taxes properly.
“Are you Lin Sixue’s boyfriend?”
The slightly overweight officer scrutinized him seriously.
“Yes, but that was before. We’ve already broken up. We broke up a few days ago.”
They had broken up recently. A few days ago, Lin Sixue had even come to ask for reconciliation.
Breaking up wasn’t illegal, was it?
“Officer, did something happen to Lin Sixue?” Seeing their serious expressions, Jiang Cheng felt uneasy. Why else would the police come asking about her?
“Mr. Jiang, please come with us. We have some matters to discuss with you.”
“… ”
So what crime had he committed?
Was it wrong to have had 200 girlfriends? But he had been sincere every time. He admitted he was a bit of a scoundrel and that his heart was somewhat broad, but that shouldn’t be illegal.
“Alright.”
He followed the law. If he saw an elderly woman fall on the roadside, he would genuinely help her up. He walked upright and sat upright. He had nothing to fear.
He got into the police car with the two officers. The atmosphere was heavy. If they had put handcuffs on him, he would truly have thought he had committed a crime.
Along the way, the two officers remained silent. Jiang Cheng did not dare to speak much either. The tension lingered in the air.
Security Bureau, interrogation room.
“Name.”
“Jiang Cheng.”
“Gender.”
“Male.”
“Where were you on August 22?”
The two officers questioned him like a criminal. Jiang Cheng had already formed a guess. Something must have happened to Lin Sixue.
“That day I was at home. I stayed home the entire time.”
Was that the day Lin Sixue came to his house one last time to ask for reconciliation? He was not entirely sure.
“Officer Chen, did something happen to Lin Sixue?”
The officers interrogating him were not the thin and fat officers who brought him in. Instead, it was a beautiful female officer, along with the slightly overweight officer from earlier.
Officer Chen was the one in front of him. Even with his vast experience with women, Jiang Cheng had to admit she was quite attractive.
Her name tag read Chen Jingwan.
At the very least, she would have been rated above 90 by the system. Yes, the system had required him to conquer girls with a rating of 90 or above.
As a result, Jiang Cheng now had extremely high standards and abundant experience.
For the so-called heaven-defying grand prize that could change the world, he had traveled through every city in the Great Xia Nation. Girls rated above 90 were truly hard to find.
He had even gone abroad and pursued a few foreign women, but unfortunately, they did not count.
He knew his system was patriotic and did not worship foreign things.
“Do you have any proof that you were home at that time?” Chen Jingwan did not answer his question. She continued observing him, studying his micro-expressions.
“There are surveillance cameras at the entrance of my residential community. That should prove I never left that day,” Jiang Cheng replied honestly.
“Mm… Lin Sixue was murdered. The time of death was August 22. The cause of death is unknown. Her last phone call was made to you, so we…”
“What?”
Jiang Cheng was stunned. Lin Sixue was murdered? He fell completely silent.
No matter what, he had loved his ex-girlfriends. He had been sincere every time he pursued someone.
He admitted he had a broad heart, but was that a crime? When he broke up, he left each ex with a massive compensation payment.
That breakup money was enough for each of them to live a comfortable life.
“Mr. Jiang… may I ask what was said during the last phone call Lin Sixue made to you?” Chen Jingwan looked at him seriously.
“Let me think…”
That call had been a week ago.
If he remembered correctly, she had confessed her love and asked him to reconcile.
“She was asking me to get back together. She kept saying she loved me…”
“She probably wouldn’t have committed suicide.”
Lin Sixue was a very cheerful and lively girl. Jiang Cheng did not believe she would take her own life.
But if she truly had committed suicide, he would feel deeply guilty. He had only broken up with her, and she ended her life?
“She was always cheerful and lively. She wouldn’t have killed herself.”
Jiang Cheng looked directly into Chen Jingwan’s eyes.
“Mm.”
“Mr. Jiang, you may leave for now. If we discover anything, we will contact you by phone.”
“If you recall anything, you may contact us as well.”
“Alright.”
After Jiang Cheng left, Chen Jingwan fell into thought and muttered, “He… is not the murderer.”
“He’s not?” the overweight officer asked in confusion. “But we reviewed all the surveillance footage near the victim’s residence and found no suspicious individuals.”
Chen Jingwan was certain. Jiang Cheng’s reactions and demeanor were enough to prove he was not the murderer. The surveillance footage from his residential community also confirmed he never left home that day.
However, after investigating Lin Sixue’s social relationships, Jiang Cheng was the most important person in her life.
She was an orphan. Jiang Cheng was her first boyfriend, and also her last.
“He definitely isn’t the murderer,” Chen Jingwan said firmly. She trusted her judgment.
After leaving the Security Bureau, Jiang Cheng felt dazed.
Lin Sixue had been killed?
If it was not suicide, then it was homicide.
What exactly had happened? What had she gone through?
Could it be that someone learned he had given Lin Sixue several million and killed her for money?
That didn’t seem right.
Jiang Cheng felt lost. His heart ached.
His girlfriend. No, his ex-girlfriend. She had been murdered.
And he might bear some responsibility.
“How could this happen?”
“Why?”
