Chapter 81: Eating Chicken (1/2)

Bai Cui thought there was an 80% possibility that the girl asking for help in her live broadcast was lying, but she hesitated and still took out her phone from her pocket to help her call the police.

Actually, it wasn’t odd that Bai Cui was being careful. Despite being a popular personality, the most important thing was being cautious in the anchoring business.

A few days ago, anchors at the same website she broadcasted in were arrested by an anti-pornography campaign, for cheating in an online game, as well as for ‘creating a false report for the police’ during a live broadcast to the audience’s entertainment.

Naturally, the anchor that ‘created a false report for the police’ was also arrested. Right now, he must be rotting in a prison cell, singing while looking out an iron window with tears in his eyes. So, Bai Cui was cautious about matters about calling the police.

“Du… Du…”

Almost immediately, the call connected.

Faced with a police officer’s question, Bai Cui was a bit nervous to answer, “Hello, officer. I am an anchor, and I’m calling on the behalf of one of my audience members for this report.”

“Officer, it’s like this. An audience member called ‘The Sky Is Very Dark’ saw a person standing outside her door and threatened her to open the door. She didn’t, so the person pounded on the door so powerfully that he broke it down and came in, barging into her house.”

After smoothing out her hair, Bai Cui was half-anxious while half-jokingly saying to the camera, “‘The Sky Is Very Dark,’ is that ghost still knocking at your door? You tell him that I’ve already reported it to the police!”

‘The Sky Is Very Dark’ didn’t reply.

Similarly, the audience member, who claimed that their own pillow was squirming as if there was also a ghost hidden inside, also showed no signs of activity.

Don’t tell me that they were truly haunted?

Noticing that ‘The Sky Is Very Dark’ was slow to reply, Bai Cui’s heart couldn’t help but feel concerned.

However, she was quick to put her feelings in order, thinking that ‘The Sky Is Very Dark’ probably saw her really call the police, and with the foresight that everything was about to turn into a big hullabaloo, she must have reckoned to not speak up. Maybe she was talking with the police right now.

[Makeup+Rock Candy: Sister Bai is so kind-hearted. That was obviously fake, there’s no need to treat it seriously. How could that person not call the police herself and desperately asked anchor to do it? Isn’t it a joke?]

[Love Me Directly: In order to coax anchor into calling the police, even particularly tipping 10,000, the price is simply too high. Isn’t it possible that they were truly haunted by ghosts? Think about it carefully!]

[Indignant Hummingbird: Hehe, the 10,000 is but a small sum to the nouveau riche! It’s possible that the nouveau riche was so bored that she baited 10,000 to swindle anchor into calling the police. This anchor is far too unprincipled, what a simp.]

[Ghost Girl Comes Knocking At Your Door: Sister Bai save me! Also help me report to the police! A ghost has genuinely entered my home, help]

[Milk For Cows: What? Watching this supernatural live stream will attract ghosts, as if! I’ll]

The matter of calling the police caused a high level of viewers. The tide came in thick and fast, leading to a barrage of comments and making Bai Cui feel overwhelmed.

Even the viewers, who were interested in a spectacle but didn’t know much about it, started hearing about the anchor that ‘filed a false report to the police’ during the live broadcast, especially hurrying to the stream to watch with excitement.

The number of watchers coming into the live stream was drastically increasing for a while, warranting Bai Cui to abruptly hear an alarm bell in her head.

There weren’t many popular people(1). Fearing that these newcomers would make irresponsible remarks and be known as ‘the anchor that filed a false report to the police for the sake of fame,’ she immediately explained what happened, settling some of the exorbitant discussions.

When Bai Cui called the police, the four players had already come over and had overheard everything from beginning to end.

After hearing the contents of Bai Cui’s police report, all of the players’ complexions slightly changed.

They were either surprised or tense… But there was a mutual understanding between them that they shouldn’t talk about it.

Now really wasn’t the place to discuss this matter.

Ye Shangyu helped Xu Lanfang push the cart, and before the sky turned completely dark, the nine people had returned to the farmhouse.

…

Farmhouse Kitchen.

Xu Lanfang was secretly sweating buckets of water from lighting the fire and preparing dinner, and because it still wasn’t the time to go out and investigate the ghosts, Bai Cui eagerly rolled up her sleeves and helped keep the fire going.

And, since all the players were completely out of the mood to participate in this ordeal, they avoided the kitchen and headed towards the West room, closing the door and discussing in low hushed voices.

“What’s going on? Was the live broadcast haunted?” Jina softly said, “We only heard the police report.”

“En, it is haunted. Despite calling the police, there were still two other viewers who also saw ghosts.” Bai Yan also said in a low voice, “One person had a head appear on her screen. The head gradually became larger, and soon, it ate up the entire screen. I reckon that that person is already dead. Another one, a ghost was hidden away inside her pillow, and in the end, they didn’t reply anymore. They must also be cold.”

“…”

Hearing Bai Yan’s accounts, everyone sunk into their deep thoughts.

After quite some time, Ozawa Hiroshi’s face also turned dark, saying, “Seeing how watching the live broadcast would cause a ghost to kill you, you guys didn’t open the live stream?”

“No, who’s that stupid?” Jina shot him a disdain-filled glance while everyone else shook their heads, indicating that no one watched it.

After passing the filter to the seventh level, the surviving players were especially cautious.

Now, everyone already knew that watching the live broadcast was a dead end.

As they celebrated the fact that they discovered a dead end, they were also puzzled over why watching the live broadcast would cause people to be haunted?

“Is it because of the village’s problem?” Jina played with her hands, saying, “The village itself is haunted by ghosts. Doing a live stream in the village would also spread the curse, so the audience of the live broadcast were also met with bad luck.”

“Then, why were there only three viewers who were murdered and the others were left unscathed?” Bai Yan asked.
