Chapter 82: Ball (2/2)

…

Outside the house.

Bai Yan, who was full of vitality, welcomed the cold autumn breeze, waiting for the two anchors while also reminiscing over this evening’s meal.

The flavor of this dinner’s chicken was not bad. This rural food was truly authentic.

The old lady’s chick-eating was straight-out savage, but compared to the malicious ghosts that directly bit people, she was undoubtedly a lot cuter. So long as she didn’t sputter out saliva, she would look good.

In fact, when he saw the old lady eating the chicks, Bai Yan couldn’t help but associate her with a lion eating game in the animal kingdom, an old goat biting on a chick.

If it weren’t for the old lady spitting and defiling the rice, he would have eaten more of it. It was truly a pity.

In the evening, after the players were finished discussing, everyone decided to split up into two groups.

It was extremely dangerous during nighttime in the game’s world. It went without saying that they didn’t want side issues to arise and just wanted to rest in the farmhouse for the night.

Who knew that the two anchors were preparing to wait until after the villagers had rested, they would come out to have a ‘Night Out to Explore the Ghost Village’ and prepare to uncover ‘The Unknown Secrets of The Ghost Village Under the Night,’ which was typical for the pursuit of fame and death.

Of course, NPCs’ and players’ deaths were completely unrelated, all the dead players also wouldn’t be cared for.

However, after inquiring around the village this afternoon, all of the villagers had a unified answer, insisting that there were no disappearances in the village and causing everyone’s investigation to sink into an impasse.

On a difficult level, there are no clues, and the next two days would be hard to deal with.

The first day in a level was usually safe, so if they didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to collect information, the following days would be terribly busy and would probably be more challenging.

Players don’t want to take risks, but coincidentally, the two anchors were preparing to charge and break through enemy lines, live streaming to court disaster, they naturally couldn’t let go of this chance.

In the end, everyone decided that Bai Yan, Ye Shangyu, and Lu Ruichao would accompany the two anchors to go sightseeing around the ghost village, while the others would stay at the farmhouse, keeping close watch over Xu Lanfang and the old granny.

“Sorry for letting you wait long!”

10 o’clock, Bai Cui as well as Fang Niu, who held his phone up, went out the door, joining the three players.

The villagers took rest quite early, and before it reached 10 o’clock, Xu Lanfang had already tidied up to go to bed, together with her grandmother in their room, closing the lights to sleep.

Xu Lanfang’s family was like this, and the others were just the same.

This was a ‘left-behind children’ village filled with only the elderly and children, and since elders and children need sleep, they went to bed early.

Thus, the lights in the village had gone out in succession, making the village pitch-black.

As it so happened, tonight’s moonlight was obstructed by dark clouds. Despite the heavens still being lit up by specs of lights, they can’t light up the path under the crowd’s feet.

Amid this pitch-black night, it was the most suitable environment for a supernatural live broadcast.

Bai Cui had gone through a lot today, having called the police for the haunted viewers in the live stream and watching how the old woman frighteningly ate a live chick.

These were undoubtedly ominous signs, but these obstacles didn’t stop Bai Cui to start another live broadcast.

In a supernatural live broadcast, the most important requirements were a terrifying atmosphere, two unforeseen events, and early hype for the live stream.

Because the old lady ate the chick as well as the rumor that ‘watching the live broadcasts could result in a violent death,’ she got 20,000 more followers today, which made her overwhelmed with joy.

In this situation, it was absolutely impossible to do nothing before going home.

Not to mention, she basically didn’t believe in ghosts. Even if ghosts were real, for the sake of the audience, she still had to brace herself and push forward.

After greeting the new viewers that were attracted by the hype, Bai Cui didn’t say that many superfluous words, only grabbing her flashlight and starting her village tour.

The group headed to the village, not finding anything along the way, but Bai Cui stubbornly used her vivid acting skills to set off a thrill to the ghost village. Midway, she even let out an ear-splitting scream from a deliberately arranged ‘scare’ prank with Fang Niu.

Under her realistic acting skills, the boring journey appeared to have its ups and downs, leaving the other three amazed.

The shocked Bai Cui, even if this place was truly haunted, it wouldn’t be as shocking as her.

Walking for probably an hour, everyone had strolled through most of the village, walking from the beginning to the end of the village.

Towards the end of the village, there were no residents, only unbroken patches of graveyards.

Each bulged-out grave that had stood on the ground for a long time looked miserable during the night.

Bai Cui didn’t believe that there were ghosts, and as she was walking past the graves, she also couldn’t help but feel chilliness running down her back, always feeling that when she passed a grave, the cadaver on the grave would crawl out and look at her.

Although she knew that little tanned brother was helping her film from behind, there were no other people there, much less dead people.

Bai Cui bravely continued to move forward, and since there were still three people beside her, she didn’t panic.

However, before taking a few more steps, she heard a sharp fit of laughter.

Listening carefully, this tapered sound ought to come from a child.

Bai Cui hadn’t even reacted yet when immediately after, a ball from far away came rolling, rolling at her feet.

In the depth of the night, will there be children playing ball in a cemetery?

Seeing two ashy handprints on the ball’s surface, it was the first time Bai Cui’s heart felt fear.
