Chapter 219: Chapter 106 Song Shuting’s Adventure Live Stream

Qionghua City, next to the Han Tomb.

There was an abandoned wasteland here, overgrown with weeds and vines year-round, to the point where its original appearance had become unrecognizable.

Without any street lights nearby, the area would plunge into complete darkness at night, just looking at it could send chills down one’s spine.

However, this evening, there were footsteps and a faint light emanating from this desolate field.

The source of the light was a girl holding a selfie stick. Dressed in a short sleeve shirt and long pants, she was walking through the field while intermittently speaking.

"Dear viewers, we’ve already visited No Light Alley a few days ago and checked in at ’Cat and Dog Moon-gazing’, but today I’ve heard about a new place in Qionghua City, which is this wasteland."

In her phone was a live streaming window, and from what the girl had just said, it wasn’t hard to tell that she was in the midst of a live stream.

The girl’s name was Song Shuting, an internet live streamer. With her sweet appearance and unique live content, she had made a name for herself in the outdoor streaming category.

Different from average outdoor streamers, Song Shuting usually went live late at night, broadcasting content that leant towards eerie adventures.

Today, her target was set in this wasteland adjacent to the Han Tomb.

Within the phone, the live chat was scrolling message by message. The number of comments wasn’t too overwhelming, but it wasn’t sparse either.

"Host, what’s so interesting about a wasteland? Moreover, it’s pitch dark around here, I can’t see anything clearly."

"Exactly, it would be more interesting to visit some ancient house or something, more so than this patch of weeds and wilderness."

"Today’s live stream is not impressive, ’Cat and Dog Moon-gazing’ last time was much more interesting. By the way, host, how much did it cost you to hire so many cats and dogs as actors last time? It must not have been easy, right?"

"What do you mean ’actors’? When has our Ting Bao ever hired actors for her streams? Don’t you know about the Spiritual Energy Recovery? If I give you food, do you think you can get that many animals to all behave and act on cue? Some people’s IQs are really worrying."

"Spiritual Energy Recovery? Haha, you believe in those internet rumors after just seeing two of them, that’s hilarious. I think you’re the one who needs a brain supplement!"

"..."

The live stream chat was never short of disruptions or off-topic comments, which was more like a routine.

Song Shuting was quite accustomed to this.

Having streamed up to this day, she remained unflustered by such situations, sometimes even secretly pleased when she saw viewers arguing in her stream. After all, it helped maintain her channel’s activity levels, didn’t it?

"Guys, don’t argue now. Today we are here to check in, and at the same time, we have another goal, which is to verify the creepy rumors about this place and see if they are true or false."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the topic in the live chat shifted, with a barrage of comments surfacing:

"’Fraud-busting’ Ting Bao, about to start her job again!?"

"You are so dedicated to your work, you deserve praise! I have a ’Rumor Breaker’ banner prepared for you; host, just private message me your address and I’ll send it to you."

"The person above, don’t think I don’t know you just want to trick her into giving out her address... but don’t forget to share with me once you get it!"

"..."

After glancing at the joking comments in the chat, Song Shuting revealed a sweet smile. She kept walking forward, and said:

"Dear viewers, I don’t know if you have heard about this story. It’s said that in the middle of this wildland near the Han Tomb, there used to be a residence, this place wasn’t always barren."

"However, later on, the family moved away for some reason, taking everything with them. But there was one thing they left behind without taking away..."

She paused here, and seeing the barrage of curious inquiries in the live stream, she couldn’t help but laugh and said, "They took everything with them, but they left behind one ’person’..."

"A scarecrow..."

The light from the phone swayed with her steps, appearing so trivial in this pitch-black wasteland.

"The scarecrow was forgotten here, day after day, year after year. Feeling angry about its master’s abandonment... it picked up a sickle from the ground, and every evening it would come to life, wandering through the wasteland..."

"There were people who came here to explore and said they saw the scarecrow at night. It kept searching through the fields, as if looking for that master who abandoned it..."

At this point in her narrative, the live stream was already filled with a flurry of comments.

"Host, what’s with the change? Since when can you tell horror stories so well!? You’ve scared me so much that I dare not go to the bathroom late at night."

"Please don’t scare me, host. I’m faint-hearted, and if I get scared to death, it’s on you for life!"

"Not bad, the fairy tale told by the host is good... What happened next? Did it meet a little girl, a tin man, and a cowardly lion?"

"... "

Song Shuting continued walking through the wasteland. Although it was night, one glance was enough to see that there was hardly anything around—not even a scarecrow in sight, let alone a house.

"In fact, this is just a story. I even heard people say that the scarecrow’s eyes are made of two invaluable rubies. Whoever takes them could immediately reach the pinnacle of life."

She stepped over a patch of weeds two feet high and continued, "We came here today to check-in, and by doing so, we’ll also break this rumor, saving future explorers the trouble of a detour."

Seeing the flat reaction in the live stream, Song Shuting felt somewhat disheartened.

She had gone to so much trouble to find such a story—how come nobody was rewarding her?

If she had known, she wouldn’t have come here today. Wouldn’t it be better to stream ’Cat and Dog Moon-gazing’ again?

She walked on for a while and estimated that she had almost finished exploring this wasteland; however, the mentioned scarecrow was nowhere to be seen, not even a shadow of it.

"It looks like we’ve successfully debunked another place. Although we didn’t see a scarecrow, we did encounter plenty of mosquitoes. They’ve bitten me so many times this evening."

As she spoke and saw that the surrounding wasteland was nearly done, she turned around to head back.

"My dears, that’s about it for tonight. We’ll switch to another place tomorrow to have a look. If there’s anywhere you want to go, leave me a message, and we’ll prioritize nearby places... "

Song Shuting was making her way back when, as she reached the middle of the wasteland, her gaze inadvertently swept over a certain spot in front of her, and suddenly she stopped speaking. Her steps also involuntarily halted.

Not far ahead, a figure was standing completely still as if it were staring at her.

"What’s wrong with the host? Why did she suddenly stop talking?"

"Holy shit, what’s that? Is there someone over there?"

"It’s hard to make out, but it doesn’t look human, you guys. Look at that height and the proportions of the limbs; they are too exaggerated to be human."

"Could there really be a scarecrow? But we didn’t see it when we came! Could it be because it was too dark and we missed it?"

"... "

In the live stream, the comments were rolling in fast, but at this moment, Song Shuting had no mood to check them. Her entire attention was captured by the figure not far in front of her, and her heart began to "thump thump" race.
