Chapter 83: Nursery Rhymes (2/2)
He lifted his head, and seeing Ye Shangyu take back her hand, he couldn’t help but whimper a bit, slowly falling back by two steps.
The boy picked up his ball and turned his head, running away to a distant place. With a few breaths, the boy disappeared into the cemetery and not a trace of him could be seen anywhere.
Under the upstaging of the three players, the two anchors could only stare in awe.
Bai Cui heard the players ask a series of questions. Her brain turned into mush as she suddenly found out that these six travelers weren’t as simple as they seemed.
And, followed by ‘Haunted Live Broadcast’ and ‘Old Lady Ghost Eats Chicken,’ the live broadcast met with another small high. The wave——
[Flickering Lights: First, there was a person who claimed to see a human head on the pile of straw. Next, a fat old lady ate a live chick. Now, here comes a foolish child playing ball in the cemetery in the middle of the night. If this isn’t the anchor finding actors in advance, then these events are strange enough…]
[Beautiful Thighs: Sister Bai, those six travelers clearly have a problem! Did you hear what they were asking? Would normal people ask these sorts of questions?]
[Terror City: Interesting, will anchor broadcast again tomorrow? I feel that this village is still hiding a lot more secrets. Don’t give up halfway.]
[There’s A Ghost Knocking: Sister Bai, I also can’t hide this from you any longer! Truthfully, in the village, besides you, all of them are ghosts! Little tanned brother had also long been swapped for a fake. No kidding, don’t say more, run! Run away quickly!]
The comments in the live stream came like a barrage, and the phone’s narrating function couldn’t keep up with it.
Bai Cui switched off the narrating function and rapidly glanced at the comments, feeling colder and colder the more she read them.
Mother, if everyone said it like this, she’d really believe that problems are all around her!
However, money was influenced by popularity.
Seeing the tips the nouveau riche sent her, she first swore that she would surely broadcast again tomorrow since there was no way she would leave this place without fully exploring the village’s secrets.
On the way back, Bai Cui wanted to say something but was hesitant to do so, but when they reached the farmhouse, she finally gritted her teeth and asked, “What’s the meaning behind the questions you asked the kid? What did you find out?”
“We merely felt that this nursery rhyme had a meaning to it, so we only asked. Since you’re playing as a supernatural investigator, shouldn’t you ask more questions? Entertainment comes from this unknown atmosphere.” Bai Yan paused, shooting a surprised look at Bai Cui and saying, “You guys don’t really think that there are ghosts in this world, do you?”
“…”
Oh right.
Faced with Bai Yan’s thoughts, Bai Cui felt super embarrassed.
Yes, after experiencing many strange matters, she was truly hesitant to start wondering if there were ghosts in this world after the audience’s trickery.
Without a doubt, ghosts don’t exist in this world.
Bai Cui’s face turned red, suddenly speaking in a low voice, secretly ashamed of herself for lying to her audience during her live broadcasts to earn money all day long, almost like she was conning her viewers.
Seeing Bai Cui dispel her doubts, Bai Yan also relaxed his tone.
Good, she’s settled.
These NPCs that brazenly court disasters were hard to find. If he’s already found some, where would he find that were just as good cannon fodders?
The group of people headed back to the farmhouse with their own thoughts in mind. The lights towards the farmhouse still haven’t been extinguished yet, and the sounds of these five people coming in didn’t wake up the old lady and Xu Lanfang.
By the time they had reached the house, it was almost midnight already.
The most dangerous time was after midnight. And, with the level’s background story of a ghost village, not leaving someone on watch duty would undoubtedly that they regarded their lives as jokes.
The game was only a brief three days, so there was no harm in losing some sleep.
The players discussed it over, deciding on two waves of night watch. The first wave would keep watch until 5 AM, while the next one would get the 5 AM to 10 AM shift so that everyone on night watch could still sleep for 5 hours.
After talking it over, the two girls and the habitually silent Lu Ruichao lied down and went to sleep with their outside clothes on. This way, if there were any mishaps, they could still escape.
Through the seven levels of filtering, the remaining players’ mentalities were undoubtedly formidable.
Not long, these three players fell asleep, one after another, saving their energy for their exploring on the second day.
Beside them, the three big men stared at each other, wide-eyed, in the room… After only looking at each other for a moment, they shifted their lines of sight somewhere else.
Three places in the room needed to be watched attentively, and as it so happened, the three people watched over these spots.
Bai Yan was in charge of watching the window leading to the courtyard. Quinta followed closely by watching the door. As for Ozawa Hiroya, he was responsible for watching the small window on the wall behind the heatable brick bed to avoid someone leaning forward to take a peek at them.
In the quiet night, the three people didn’t say a word, only occasionally hearing sounds of insects from outside as well as the shallow breaths of the people inside the room.
Time passed by a second and by a minute…
And around 2 AM, the three people were somewhat drowsy, but they still used their sheer will to power through, not risking closing their eyes to rest.
When the three felt that nothing would happen, suddenly, the sound of a door opening from outside came through.
Bai Yan quietly listened in. The sound seemed to be coming from Bai Cui’s room.
In Bai Cui’s room, there was only her and Fang Niu staying there.
After that person opened the door, the person walked towards the kitchen and went through the kitchen door that led to the courtyard.
Naturally, since the door was near the players’ room, when the person opened the door, the three people heard it clearly.
Almost immediately, the person, who opened the kitchen door, walked to the courtyard, passing by the East room’s window.
Bai Yan stared at the window, which had lowered bamboo curtains in front of it, the only space that could be seen was the size of a pinky finger at the bottom.
However, there was no need to see, because just from the voice, Bai Yan could recognize who it was. The person who left the room was Fang Niu.
