Chapter 78: Anchor (2/2)
After obtaining all the players’ consent, she and the six walked ahead with Fang Niu falling behind to shoot the entire scene.
Along the way, Bai Cui strategically emitted continuous shivers, and because of the chemistry with the players, the two people were quickly acquainted with them.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and thinking that the time was right, Bai Yan suddenly asked, “Oh right, Anchor Bai, where did you find information about this haunted place?”
“There was a viewer from my broadcast that told me about it. I felt that it was interesting, so I found some time to do research. Online, I found a post writing about the haunting stories of Yanglan Village. Reading it was straight out terrifying. Could it be that you all didn’t read the post and went here?”
Hearing what Bai Cui had said, Ye Shangyu immediately opened her phone and searched about the situation in Yanglan Village.
In this level, the app apparently didn’t restrict the players to search online, so Ye Shangyu could also search this world’s web pages using the Blue Star browser.
Due to her experience with ‘Real Ghost Stories,’ she didn’t open the post to avoid triggering a dead end and becoming the new protagonist of the ghost story.
Sweeping across the titles about Yanglan Village and determining what she said was true, Ye Shangyu gave Bai Yan a nod. Bai Yan understood and continued to converse with Bai Cui——
“The post? I haven’t read it contrary to what you’d expect. I only heard a friend talk about how mysterious this place was, and as it so happened, I wasn’t doing anything and called in a few friends to go here together to search for ghosts. By the way, what was written in this post? Hearing you talk about it, I suddenly feel a bit scared.”
Bai Cui answered, “It’s nothing. The writer just published a post about ghosts, saying that he’s a person from Yanglan Village.
A few months ago, the writer discovered that the elderly and the children in the village had ineffably gone missing. Soon, the number of missing people was increasing at a serious rate. He was incredibly scared, so he fled from this village and never came back…
The text of the writer felt so real, and after reading it, people will definitely feel uneasy. I saw that the post was trending, and since no other anchor has ever gone to Yanglan Village, naturally, we must strive to be the firsts in this world. Like the first person to eat crabs, let’s uncover the story behind these disappearances for the fans!”
“Of course, if this village also doesn’t have any ghosts, I could still experience the country life here and come here for the rural tourism.” Bai Cui smiled enthusiastically, “If we can’t find ghosts, then I’ll stop broadcasting ghost-investigation shows and revert back to a mukbang host!”
[Sexy Woman Hanging Herself Online: It is still interesting to search for ghosts, I refuse to watch a mukbang.]
[Honey Peach: Mukbangs seem interesting. I’ll watch any show that Sister Bai airs. You can do it!]
[Lao Zi Loves Excitement: Sister Bai, look out! There are people up ahead! There’s a village girl!]
Before the comment came into view, Bai Cui and the lot of players already saw the young girl from a distance.
The young girl was pulling on a small cart, and inside the cart was an adornment of large bags.
Even with the cart’s help, the young girl appeared to be still struggling with the task.
Upon seeing this, everyone quickened their pace one after another, hurrying to the young girl’s side.
“…”
The young girl’s attire was plain and simple. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, while her hands were fully covered with rough calluses, an exemplar for a laborer’s hands. Seeing a crowd of strangers surrounding her, she merely raised her head and shot them a glance. Then, she lowered her head back, proceeding with pulling her cart, giving them zero interest to the slightest degree.
These players all harbored evil intentions in their hearts, so naturally, they wouldn’t feel awkward.
Meanwhile, Bai Cui was an anchor, so her face was extremely thick and was far less likely to feel more awkward than the others.
For the sake of cultivating her fame, Bai Cui acted faster than the players.
Before any of the players said anything, Bai Cui was a step ahead, showing a friendly smile while asking, “Little sister, we’ve come to the countryside to experience life here. May I ask if there are any hotels nearby? We’re staying here for a night.”
“Hotel… None.”
The young girl shook her head and finally agreed to talk to them, “Our village doesn’t have hotels.”
“Then, does your home have any vacant rooms? It’s getting dark. It would be inconvenient for us to go out right now. Rest assured that we’ll pay!” Bai Cui took out a hundred, pointing a finger at Little Tanned Brother behind her, “Me and him will be staying in one room. This is a hundred, will you agree?”
“…Okay.” The young girl received the money, stuffing the cash into her pants pocket and intending to continue to push her cart away.
Seeing that Bai Cui had already found a place to stay, the players talked and decided to stay with her. Anyway, the village wasn’t safe anywhere. Living with the anchor would indefinitely lead to mishaps, but when she dies, at least they’d be able to gather some clues.
So, Bai Yan fished out money from the wallet the app had provided, taking out 500 and also giving it to the young girl, “Does your home still have any vacant rooms, us six will stay together. A small room is also fine.”
“There is.” The young girl nodded her head, slowly reaching her hand to receive the money and then pushing the cart, “My house is nearby, come with me.”
On the way, everyone learned that the young girl’s name was Xu Lanfang.
Pretty quickly, the group of people had arrived at a shabby farmhouse, which was Xu Lanfang’s home.
