Chapter 84: Talking with Ghosts (1/2)

Crawling out of the warm bed at 2 AM wasn’t Fang Niu’s original plan.

If possible, he simply didn’t want to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

But, he truly couldn’t hold it in anymore, his belly was about to burst from the pain, even letting out smelly farts from time to time, causing his *ss to tighten by itself.

After dawdling in his bed for a long time, seeing that his crap was about to come out, he didn’t dare be lazy anymore and quickly draped over his coat, grabbing his phone and hurrying to the yard.

In the rural areas, the toilets were located outside.

He ran over to the large door, and through the large door leading to the yard, there was an outhouse with a squat toilet.

He immediately ran to go in, closing the door and taking off his pants. Then, the sounds of unspeakable objects that had been held in for a long time could be heard falling to the bowl.

In the next second, his stomach felt better by a lot.

Even for Yanlang Village, it was also ‘Guess Who I Am’ who had introduced it to them, he or she was just that big of a fan.

Although this ‘Guess Who I Am’ was poor, not even giving a single tip, and they didn’t know whether the person was a guy or a girl, this type of fan couldn’t be treated in a perfunctory manner, or else letting this fan transition from an admirer to an anti-fan would be even more terrifying.

In any case, he was still going to be squatting over the latrine for quite some time, so chatting with this fan was also fine.

Thus, Fang Niu grasped his phone and directly typed these words——

[I Am Little Tanned Brother: I’m awake, what’s up?]

[Guess Who I Am: That post is true, Yanlang Village really does have ghosts!]

Seeing this, Fang Niu was speechless. He genuinely felt that this fan was bored out of his mind, maybe always had intentions of scaring others?

He sneered, replying on his phone, “Big brother, don’t go scaring people in the middle of the night. I’m trying to crap right now, and you’re scaring the sh*t out of me!”

[Guess Who I Am: You don’t believe me?]

[I Am Little Tanned Brother: An individual has the option to not believe in something. You should stop saying these to scare people in the middle of the night.]

Fang Niu and ‘Who I Am’ chatted idly, and when he felt that he would still be squatting over the toilet for a long time, he prepared to mute the chat and not talk with this night owl that still wasn’t asleep.

But, as he chatted, he felt that there was something amiss.

A new notification firmly drew his attention.

[Guess Who I Am: The village really has ghosts, because I was the one that published that post.]

Seeing this, Fang Niu inadvertently shocked.

He instantly remembered the old granny that ate the live chick, remembered the curious child playing with his ball in the cemetery at midnight, as well as what the child repeated, that bloody nursery rhyme.

Originally, when he fell asleep, he put all these weird instances at the back of his mind, quickly forgetting them.

But now, seeing the word ‘ghosts,’ a hint of uneasiness surfaced again, making him start to suspect everyone.

‘Could it be that Yanlang Village really has ghosts?’

At this moment, Fang Niu didn’t care about his pooping anymore. He maintained his squatting position while also uninterruptedly typed words down on his phone, wanting to ask for more clarity.

[I Am Little Tanned Brother: Brother, could it be that you’re the Yanlang villager that escaped? Did people truly go missing in your village?]

[Guess Who I Am: A lot of people disappeared.]

[I Am Little Tanned Brother: But, the other people here say that basically, none have gone missing in this village. You’re not trying to scare me, right?]

[Guess Who I Am: They all don’t remember anymore.]

Seeing this, Fang Niu actually believed it a bit.

In ghost films, after a ghost killed a person, the protagonist losing their memory was a common occurrence.

If the village truly had ghosts, then there was also the possibility of ghosts having the ability to alter memories.

However, thinking until this point, he felt somewhat indignant, typing these words at once, “If you knew that there were ghosts, then why didn’t you tell us earlier? Even letting us go here to hold a live broadcast!”

[Guess Who I Am: There are ghosts, that’s why I wanted you to go.]

[Guess Who I Am: To let you come here, so I can kill you!]

It’s a joke, he must surely be joking!

Obviously, it was written in the system’s default settings in bold characters, and the font was also on the default setting, but these two simple lines led Fang Niu to be absolutely terrified.

Right at this moment, a gust of wind blew, making him shiver.

He suddenly looked around, landing his eyes on the small window inside the toilet. Sounds of wind were blowing past the window, but fortunately, there was no one there.

He must be intentionally scaring me!

Fang Niu was slightly relieved, but his state of mind was completely disrupted by ‘Guess Who I Am.’

Neither he nor Bai Cui was timid since having little to no courage would mean that they couldn’t make supernatural live broadcasts.

Yet, with the preconceived notion that ghosts don’t exist in this world, the circumstances surrounding Yanlang Village were indeed strange, making him, a large man, a little uneasy.

It was more than fine if ‘Guess Who I Am’ didn’t say anything else, because, the more he said something, the more Fang Niu would indulge in his flights of fantasy. And, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he got, even nearly being intimidated to death by his own speculation.

While only wearing a coat, Fang Niu couldn’t help but shiver from head to toe.

He chuckled, thinking that this ‘Guess Who I Am’ was indeed mentally deranged that couldn’t possibly bring him into a ditch.

Although he felt a bit restless, he instinctively told the fan to not ask any more questions. Fang Niu was afraid that the more the fan asked, the more he’d feel scared, which would result in him not sleeping the entire night.

So, he decided to not acknowledge this basket case anymore and would reply to him tomorrow morning.

However, he hadn’t typed this yet when two messages suddenly popped out of his screen——

[Guess Who I Am: Do you want to see a ghost?]

[Guess Who I Am: I’m standing outside the door.]
