Chapter 80: Live Broadcast (1/2)
“Sure, let’s go together.”
After saying this, Bai Yan shot a glance at Xu Lanfang, the young girl didn’t seem against the idea of these people offering her help.
Xu Lanfang just said “Whatever,” and pulled her small cart forward. Bai Cui distributed two burlap bags to Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu, then the three people went to the field where Xu Lanfang was headed.
Behind the four people, Fang Niu held his phone up, filming his girlfriend cautiously and conscientiously, and giving the four a feature in the live broadcast.
Soon, the group had reached the farmland, and the property of Xu Lanfang’s house was in front.
Due to the app’s restrictions, the players weren’t allowed to step a foot beyond the scope of the stone tablet, but coincidentally, Xu Lanfang’s family’s land was within the stone tablet’s range, so this was still counted as being inside the ‘ghost village.’
On the yellow earthy ground, there was a pile of straws and maize cobs rounded up to form a small hill. This was firewood of Xu Lanfang’s family.
Xu Lanfang set her cart at the side, grabbing a burlap sack and starting to shove the maize cobs into her pouch.
[Almond Cat: Anchor! There’s a ghost!]
[Almond Cat: There’s a dead person’s head inside the pile of straw! I saw it, I really saw it!]
On the phone, there was a cold robotic voice narrating these two comments from the stream.
After listening to the contents of the comments, Bai Cui feigned alarm and said, “Really? Don’t you guys even think of tricking me! The same trick won’t fool me twice. Sister Bai is too smart for that!”
Bai Cui’s ‘trembling’ mouth hardened from this sentence, while her ‘honest’ body turned her head.
As for Fang Niu who was filming the entire scene, he correspondingly shifted his camera shot to the small hill of straws.
There was nothing there other than a pile of straws, and other than the wind blowing a slight breeze, you couldn’t find anything there.
[Almond Cat: Anchor! Quickly look, the human head has appeared!]
[White Elephant Pure Fruit: …Is this a joke? Are you intentionally trying to scare the anchor? The newcomer’s expression is a bit incomprehensible!]
[You Don’t Understand: Eh, little sister’s scaring technique is too fake. Super embarrassing. Sister Bai would never be frightened.]
[Almond Cat: How could that be? Can’t you all see it? I’m not scaring her on purpose, it’s true!
There really is a huge human head, and it’s being hung by the straws. There’s a straw that’s passing through the head’s mouth, causing it to suspend in mid-air. You really can’t see the head? You all shouldn’t scare me!]
[Ghost Girl Comes Knocking At Your Door: Hahaha, little sister speaks so earnestly. What a drama queen… Hehe, actually, I can also see it.]
Hearing the monotonous robot voice saying these, one after another, Bai Cui felt speechless. The one thing that her audience liked doing the most was to scare her.
Naturally, since she was a seasoned anchor, she wouldn’t fall for this scary scheme. Instead, she tried her best to choke out a chuckle, “Followers, don’t play jokes. I won’t believe you. Okay, since little sister has already bundled the pouches together, this anchor won’t entertain the chat anymore, we’ll be heading back!”
[Almond Cat: Anchor, I truly am not kidding.]
The ice-cold robotic voice came through. This led Bai Cui to be a bit fed up, feeling that this joke(1) still wasn’t tired of playing.
However, soon, Bai Cui became vexed for the first time, because Almond Cat suddenly posted another comment——
[Almond Cat: Wait, anchor, how did this head run in front of you? I completely can’t see your faces anymore! It became huge, already taking up half of my screen!]
“Ah? I don’t see any ghosts in front of me now.” Bai Cui looked left and right, smiling as she asked, “Brother Bai, Sister Ye, do you see anything?”
“We don’t.” Bai Yan put on a fitting smile, but his heart was secretly taking precautions.
Bai Cui might be assuming that the audience is pulling a prank on her, but he knew that ghosts truly existed in Yanglan village.
This audience member insisted on seeing a head. Maybe there really was a floating head before them.
But, why was it that only this audience member could see, while the others can’t?
As Bai Yan pondered on it, he continued to walk without changing directions, not even moving his head to dodge.
Although there could possibly be a head in front of him, no one else reacted. If he had particularly avoided and also been conspicuous about it, the ghost might fix its attention onto him. So, it was better to act like he didn’t know anything.
After a few more jokes, everyone continued on their way.
Fang Niu was still walking at the very back, faithfully capturing the four’s images to broadcast on the stream.
However, before they could walk far, that Almond Cat that made trouble for Bai Cui came back again.
[Almond Cat: Anchor, did you intentionally put special effects in your stream? The head has already taken up my entire screen. Right now, I can only see the live comment section…]
