Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fierce Ghost’s Mission (29/95)
Qin Liu, floating, suddenly felt a chill.
She lowered her head and looked at the black book in her hand.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing,” having been with Liu Haoyu for so long, the black book’s skin was thicker than its cover: “That village is just ahead, look up.”
“Oh, okay…”
Qin Liu then looked up and towards the mountain.
Just as the black book said, there was a village ahead.
However, this village was already abandoned. Under the city’s siphon effect, the villagers had long since moved out.
Not long ago, after the last elderly person in the village passed away, it even made the news in Jiangquan City.
During that time, many people from the village and tourists who came to hear the news brought a brief period of liveliness to this place.
But after the wave subsided, the village returned to silence, even more desolate than before.
Why would Bai Anting come to such a place?
Logically, wasn’t she captured by the bus?
This silent mountain village was a complete mystery to Qin Liu.
The black book also didn’t know why Bai Anting came here.
But Qin Liu knew that her purpose for coming here was to find Bai Anting.
If she was possessed, she would tie her back.
If she became a ghost, she would directly transcend her with a lantern.
In any case, she couldn’t let her body be left exposed in the wilderness.
Thinking of this, Qin Liu held the lantern in her hand and resolutely walked towards the silent mountain village.
The village was deserted.
The dilapidated road was lined with plane trees.
The moon was the only light source in the village.
Where the moonlight shone, it revealed a pale and eerie sight.
Where the moonlight couldn’t reach, there was only darkness.
Because many tourists who came to hear about it had visited this deserted mountain village, and no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Plastic bags and fallen leaves were everywhere on the ground.
The mountain village sat in the night, desolate, bleak, dilapidated… utterly silent.
The scene looked very desolate and eerie.
Qin Liu floated cautiously.
She dared not land, for fear that stepping on fallen leaves would make a crisp sound and attract something terrible…
“You’re still afraid of ghosts?”
“Yes.”
“If you encounter a ghost, just grab a shoe and throw it at its face.”
Hearing the black book’s words, Qin Liu couldn’t help but say.
“Think about it, you are a fully armed fungus, and in front of you is a forest full of weeds and lush trees… Are you afraid?”
“…”
Qin Liu’s words were logical and well-founded, making the black book completely unable to refute.
But this was also good. If Qin Liu were not afraid at all, then it would be frightening for herself.
And in this house covered with ivy, Qin Liu suddenly discovered the blue light of a mobile phone.
Could it be Bai Anting’s phone?
She moved to the window and looked into the house filled with the smell of dust.
She saw a young girl, shrinking herself, constantly looking around the quiet room with her mobile phone.
She kept mumbling.
“Hey everyone, based on my experience and intuition, this place doesn’t look like it would hide a corpse, does it?”
Is she livestreaming?
Qin Liu was stunned when she heard this.
Why would she still be in the mood to livestream in the middle of the night?
Qin Liu, who was originally worried about her, suddenly felt a inexplicable anger.
But after careful observation, Qin Liu discovered something strange.
In terms of tone, Bai Anting showed no anomalies.
But her expression was full of resistance and reluctance.
It was as if she was being forced to explore forward by something.
And at this moment, lines of bloody text appeared on the black book.
“A helpless young girl came to the silent mountain village,”
“She will uncover this mountain village under everyone’s witness,”
“But this is a livestream that only the underworld can see,”
“The livestream content is indeed very exciting, and the streamer herself is full of performance value,”
“However, if the mission fails, the price is unbearable.”
Looking at the explanation on the black book, Qin Liu finally understood what had happened to Bai Anting.
After being captured by the fierce ghost, she was not thrown into the Cang River like others.
Instead, she was forced to come to this mountain village to conduct a livestream that only ghosts could see.
Qin Liu hid and quietly crept behind Bai Anting.
She looked at the other party’s phone, which was indeed connected to the internet, and there were many viewers in the livestream room, as many as four to five hundred.
For Bai Anting, a struggling streamer, such a large number might be the first time.
But there was no happiness on her face, instead, she was extremely nervous and fearful.
And Qin Liu quickly understood the reason for her fear.
Because on her phone, there was also a small interface.
It read:
“One, quickly find the corpse hidden in the village (seven)…”
“Two, do not be discovered by ghosts and see the sun of the next day while being chased by ghosts.”
“Three, when the moon is covered by dark clouds, you must hide in a house.”
“Four, please note, do not step out of the mountain village!”
The last requirement was in large bloody characters, highlighted.
In other words, Bai Anting was now playing hide-and-seek with the fierce ghost?
Qin Liu was stunned, she looked around and indeed felt a gaze from the darkness staring intently in Bai Anting’s direction.
The source of this gaze was outside the house.
Now, the moon was covered by dark clouds.
When the light outside completely dimmed, Bai Anting couldn’t help but shudder.
She immediately hid behind the window.
The viewers in the livestream room also held their breath at this moment.
“The streamer is blessed with great fortune, I think she can still survive this wave, it’s almost dawn.”
“Don’t say it, this livestream effect is quite realistic, I suddenly want to see what the monster outside looks like.”
“The one upstairs, don’t cause us to miss the livestream of our good brother.”
“If you don’t understand, just ask, why is the streamer connected to the underworld’s network? Isn’t she really dead?”
“Thank you (can’t walk when seeing the steel plate) for the reward of ten thousand fire scrolls.”
Bai Anting had no attention to pay to the livestream room at this moment.
She was hiding well in the hotel, but after showering and changing clothes, she saw the TV showing black and white static. Before she could react, a ghost hand stretched out from the TV sucked her in.
When she woke up, she found herself in this unknown mountain village.
There was also something like a mission on her phone.
The livestream room, she didn’t know who opened it.
She dared not gamble on the authenticity of the mission, so she could only brace herself and follow the mission.
But the problem was, she searched all the houses in the mountain village and couldn’t find the so-called corpse.
Perhaps there was no corpse in this place from the beginning, only monsters wandering outside.
“Roar…”
After the moonlight was covered, the monster’s roaring voice echoed in the mountain village.
The girl, hiding behind the window, trembled.
