Chapter 962: Chapter 962: The silhouette in the camera, Qin Ruan kindly dissuades

Min Zhenghao stood in front of the entrance of the building, looking back at the camera with a face that was both tense and apprehensive, his eyes revealing a clearly discernible glint of excitement.

"Family, we’re about to go inside the hospital, are you excited? I’m both thrilled and in need of everyone’s encouragement," he said with excitement.

[Charge, Xiaomin!]

[Sending you a rocket, just a small token of my respect!]

[Ninety-nine flowers for you!]

[A Porsche!]

[Carnival!]

[Carnival +1]

[Kunpeng soaring a thousand miles!]

The audience in the live stream was familiar with the routine, including some die-hard fans of Xiaomin’s adventure team, who immediately started sending gifts upon hearing him.

"Thank you so much for the support, family, Xiaomin is truly grateful here!"

Min Zhenghao was anything but coy, his smile beaming on his face.

His eyes were nearly squinted shut from the laughter, revealing his bright white teeth, which looked particularly sinister against the dark night.

In the comments section, people started teasing him for his silly laughter, saying he looked hideously ugly.

Others urged him to hurry up and go inside.

Min Zhenghao thanked the fans who sent gifts one by one, without much ado he got down to business and walked into the hospital building.

As he walked, he talked about the terrifying events of the past.

Inside the empty and decrepit hall, the echoes of his commentary could be heard, blending together with occasional scary music accompaniment, making it feel genuinely haunting.

The effect was actually more spine-chilling than what one would feel watching horror movies and TV shows.

Afeng intentionally filmed the shattered window glass and the outdated equipment left in the lobby, as well as the messy floors covered in a thick layer of dust.

Min Zhenghao spoke in a subdued voice, sharing his opinion, "It’s clear that this place has become dilapidated, lots of old-style equipment have been left here, probably because the hospital staff didn’t have time to take them when they evacuated. You should know that these pieces of equipment were quite valuable back in the day."

He occasionally shined his flashlight at his feet, heading towards the direction of the staircase, while advising the viewers in the live stream.

"I advise you all not to come here at night, it’s really creepy and scary, I’ve got goosebumps all over."

When they reached the staircase, Afeng filmed the duty schedule on the wall, and Min Zhenghao looked pensive as he said, "The writing on here is almost weathered away, but we can make out some blurry letters and the numbers of the duty desk phones."

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a strange noise came from upstairs, like something falling to the ground, which was particularly clear in the quiet of the night.

The Min Zhenghao that appeared on the camera shuddered and exclaimed, "What the heck is that?"

Whenever he got emotionally worked up, he would burst out in his hometown dialect.

Afeng’s filming equipment swept upstairs, and the live stream went wild.

[Fuck! A Puppet Monster appeared!]

[Xiaomin, you better hurry up and leave, this hospital is really freaky.]

[Did you guys see that? There was a shadow passing by the staircase!]

[I saw it!!!]

[This is too scary! I’m about to wet myself!]

[There really was a shadow when the camera panned over... Holy shit!]

Seeing the atmosphere in the live stream getting pumped up, with the online viewer count reaching as high as one hundred and sixty thousand, Min Zhenghao and Afeng exchanged glances.

They were in perfect sync, with Afeng’s camera continuously sweeping around as if searching for the shadow.

Min Zhenghao said, still shaken, "Don’t panic, family! Wait for me to go upstairs and take a look. If there really is a Puppet Monster, I’ll catch it and let you all see its true face!"

He courageously stepped onto the stairs.

"Are you sure you want to go up?"

A light and pleasant voice rang from behind, familiar and pleasing.

Min Zhenghao and Afeng turned around at the same time, having almost forgotten about Qin Ruan.

When the camera turned back to her, Qin Ruan covered her face with her bag once again.

Min Zhenghao immediately went to Afeng’s side and pressed down on the recording equipment, seemingly considerate of Qin Ruan’s concerns, and kindly said, "Miss, if you’re scared, you can wait downstairs. We have enough lighting equipment here, we can leave one for you."

Qin Ruan shook her head at him and advised earnestly, "Once you go upstairs, it’ll be hard to think about coming down again. Life is precious, cherish it."

Afeng had already grown impatient, his tone was sharp, "Today’s live broadcast was scheduled well in advance. If you’re scared, just stay downstairs. Don’t come up and cause trouble, and don’t spout all that nonsense here."

Qin Ruan’s appearance directly affected their income for the night. His family’s financial situation was not good, and he was counting on the income from tonight’s broadcast.

Min Zhenghao tugged at Afeng’s sleeve, "Afeng, be a little nicer to the lady."

Afeng clammed up, turning his head away, the camera then capturing the decrepit parts of the hospital.

Min Zhenghao spoke to Qin Ruan gently and apologetically, "Sorry, my brother has a bad temper. We’re just working here, and the live broadcast is arranged by the company. Everyone is struggling to make a living these days, you understand, right?"

Qin Ruan’s eyes, calm and steady, were fixed on him as she countered, "If there really is a ’Puppet’ upstairs, will you still go up?"

At these words, not only did Min Zhenghao and Afeng show startled expressions, but the live stream chat exploded once again.

Initially, there were people asking for Qin Ruan to appear onscreen, and others complained about Afeng’s somewhat harsh treatment of such a sweet-voiced girl.

Once Qin Ruan outright said there was a ’Puppet’ upstairs, the topic in the comment section immediately took a turn.

[I want to see the ’Puppet’! Go upstairs, go upstairs!]

[Today’s script seems quite thrilling, it’s getting real.]

[Could the miss be from the Mystical Sect?]

[I’ve been a fan of Xiaomin for almost two years, is today finally the day I’ll see something extraordinary?]

[This is getting interesting! Go on, keep going...]

[The yin energy here is really strong, listen to the advice of that female daoist friend, leave quickly.]

[Every New Year, some families respectfully guide home the spirit tablets of deceased ancestors. There are a lot of unclean things out tonight.]

[Whatever, I want to see the ’Puppet’, if I don’t see it today, I’m unfollowing!]

[Damn! Did you guys see that, there was a shadow that flashed by on the camera just now.]

[I saw it!]

[Aaah... don’t come over here! Back! Back! Back...]

[I saw it too, oh my God, it scared me to death!]

[I’m kneeling for Xiaomin! I don’t know if it’s special effects or real, but I clearly saw a pale, featureless face!]

[Today’s live broadcast is too thrilling!]

[Xiaomin, quickly go up and check it out, we want to see the ’Puppet’!]

Afeng was keeping an eye on the comment section, dazzled by the flurry of comments that were a pain in his eyes, most of them urging them to go upstairs and check things out.

Worried that something might happen along the way, he reminded Min Zhenghao, "Everyone’s urging us to go upstairs, the screen’s exploding, if we don’t go up now the ’Puppet’ might escape."

The last sentence was said with an especially profound meaning, one that only they understood among themselves.

Min Zhenghao looked down at the screen, the messages urging them to go upstairs were flooding in.

He steadied his anxious heart, gritted his teeth, and declared, "We’re going up!"

Both men ignored Qin Ruan and stepped onto the staircase to ascend.

Standing downstairs, Qin Ruan watched their receding figures with unrippled eyes.

She paid no mind at all, as what was once a trio was now a duo, her gaze fixed on the dark shadow lying on Afeng’s back.

The shadow enveloped his entire body, and it suddenly twisted its head around to reveal a pallid, featureless face.

That ghostly pale face had a dark hole that was slowly expanding.

As the hole grew larger, it turned into a gaping mouth occupying half the face, revealing densely packed, sharp teeth inside.

It smiled at Qin Ruan, a smile twisted with evil and horror.

Qin Ruan’s lips curled into a chillingly cold smirk, her fingertips wreathed in a faint golden light.

She lightly raised her hand, and Nether Power shot from her fingertips into the body of the ’Puppet Monster’, which instantly turned to ashes.

"Ah!"

Afeng, stepping onto the stair, suddenly lost his balance and toppled backward.

Min Zhenghao, quick on the draw, grabbed hold of his arm.
