Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 41

Chapter 41: Ghost Village Livestream (Part 2)

The video on the girl’s side cut off and directly connected to the boy’s. He seemed to be very familiar with this place, humming a song in a relaxed mood.

“They say the yin energy is the heaviest in the early morning, and it’s easy to see ghosts. Where are the ghosts? Come out and let me see what you look like,” he said with a grin, flipping the camera and making a peace sign at it.

Suddenly, a scream came from the other side. The boy was stunned for a moment. Hearing that it was the voices of the other two girls who had come with him, he hurried over.

Halfway there, the screaming stopped. The boy saw one of the girls walking slowly on the small path in front, her head bowed, not holding a light.

He walked over. “Hey, what were you screaming about? Did you see a ghost?”

The girl didn’t speak and continued to walk forward slowly with her head bowed.

The boy raised his hand and patted her. The girl stopped, then mechanically turned her head, her body not moving, her head almost turning a full circle, making a cracking sound.

“What… what are you doing? Your neck…”

Before the boy could finish, the girl suddenly lunged at him and reached out her hands. Her face was ferocious, and blood began to stream from her eyes. She shouted, “My children! Give me back my children! Why did you harm my children? They were so young! Pay with your lives! I want you to pay with your lives!”

The boy screamed and kicked her. He stumbled backward in a panic and fell to the ground. Seeing the girl he had kicked get up in a strange posture, he quickly scrambled up and ran away without a second thought.

Sang Jing saw a golden light flash when the girl pounced on him.

This boy had something to ward off evil on him.

The boy ran out of the village in one breath, and the video cut off there. The last short segment was of another girl. She was holding a camera and had come to the burned-down house.

This was the girl who had gone missing. But since she was missing, where did this video of her come from? And who had posted this entire video?

Sang Jing slowed down the video. The girl didn’t speak and just walked slowly, as if she were coming home.

Standing in the charred house, the girl suddenly burst into tears. It was not the voice of an adult, but like a five or six-year-old child, sharp and young, filled with grievance and pain.

Then the device in the girl’s hand fell to the ground, and then her figure appeared on the camera. The girl cried and left the filming range.

The video ended there.

In the last segment of the video, Sang Jing saw clear water stains on a path the girl had walked on.

“What about the girl who was sleeping in the tent and the boy who ran away?” Sang Jing asked.

This video was most likely posted by one of them.

Tan Wei replied, “That girl has some mental problems and is still in the hospital. The video was posted by the boy. After that, he locked himself in his room and won’t see anyone.”

This village was indeed problematic.

Sang Jing planned to use the same trick again.

“Can I livestream here tonight?” Sang Jing asked for their opinions.

“Planning to enter the game yourself? Little sister, you’re very brave.”

The more Shen Lan looked at her, the more satisfied she was. She happened to be short of a vice-chairman. If Sang Jing’s strength was solid, she could directly promote her to vice-chairman.

Fan Yin looked at Sang Jing with admiration, already prepared to give up her chairman’s position.

Although her divination skills were very strong, she couldn’t go on field trips and couldn’t fight in real combat. If there was a capable and reliable person, she could totally be a deputy. Sang Jing was very capable!

Tan Wei looked at the two of them with shining eyes and silently clenched her hand.

She took out her phone and sent a message to the chairman.

“Chairman, it’s time to abdicate and let a worthy person take over. Otherwise, we won’t be able to compete with them.”

The other side: “?”

Sang Jing looked at Shen Lan and smiled lightly. “With three chairmen and Vice-Chairman Tan Wei here, of course, I can act boldly.”

Shen Lan raised an eyebrow. She’s quite articulate.

Tan Wei’s car had prepared talisman paper, incense, and some magical artifacts. Sang Jing went out to pick some that she would need for the night.

Only a few people from the Xuanmen were left in the room.

“Tan Wei, you chose such a place. Aren’t you afraid this little sister won’t be able to handle it?” Shen Lan asked, looking at her curiously. “I heard from your Chairman Xia on the phone that you think her identity is special. How special is she that you value her so much? Your eyes are almost glued to her, so afraid that we’ll snatch her from you.”

Tan Wei didn’t dare to say that Sang Jing might be Ji Zhi’s student. This was almost a fact in her mind. Sang Jing’s registration form also had Ji Zhi written on it, but it lacked some substantial proof.

“She, can use the Wuchang warrant,” Tan Wei said, raising her eyes to observe the reactions of the others.

The reaction was flat.

Shen Lan said “oh.” “A walking Wuchang. That’s indeed not bad.”

After she finished speaking, Tan Wei abruptly added, “The Wuchang warrant of Hei and Bai Wuchang.”

The room fell silent…

This time, even Chu Minghua on the other side looked up.

Shen Lan turned her head stiffly, like the girl in the video just now. “What did you say?”

The thick glasses on Fan Yin’s face fell off. “Huh?”

Tan Wei pursed her lips, a little comforted in her heart. Everyone reacted this way, so her initial reaction wouldn’t seem so bad.

“Hei and Bai Wuchang, the Wuchang emissaries?” Shen Lan stood up at once. She murmured in a low voice, “How is that special? She should be enshrined.”

Shen Lan quickly asked again, “Where did you find such a talent?”

Tan Wei: “A team leader from the Special Investigation Team, Bei Shan. Sang Jing came with her.”

“She hasn’t joined the Special Investigation Team, has she?”

“As far as I know…” Tan Wei paused. She suddenly remembered the crossed-out line on Sang Jing’s registration form—136th Special Investigation Team.

Seeing her grim expression, Shen Lan’s heart skipped a beat. If Sang Jing was a member of the Special Investigation Team, how could they poach her!

The three chairmen and vice-chairman who wanted to poach her all lowered their heads in thought, their faces filled with regret, sadness, and unwillingness.

How did the Special Investigation Team find such a talent!

Chu Minghua glanced at the expressions of the three of them and laughed. “What’s wrong with the Special Investigation Team? No one said that people from the Xuanmen can’t join the Special Investigation Team.”

Conversely, they could also poach people from the Special Investigation Team to the Xuanmen!

The three of them looked up, their eyes shining, and nodded at Chu Minghua.

That’s right! The relationship between the Special Investigation Team and the Xuanmen is harmonious now. What’s wrong with poaching someone?

When Sang Jing came in, she saw the three of them looking at her eagerly, like three wolves looking at a lamb.

“…” Are all the people from the Xuanmen like this?

Shen Lan saw that she had taken a few sheets of yellow paper, incense, a calligraphy brush, and cinnabar, but not a single magical artifact. “Just these?”

Sang Jing nodded. “Just these.”

The magical artifacts Tan Wei had brought were all too lethal and not suitable for dealing with the few ghosts here.

“Use this,” Chu Minghua said, taking out a puppet thread and placing it on the table.

Sang Jing took it and looked at it. It was of better quality than the one she had taken from that five-coin Ghost Master a few days ago, not so rough. “Alright, thank you.”

Chu Minghua saw the small wrinkle of her nose and couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word. You can use this for now. I need to see your level to make a suitable and handy one for you.”

Being exposed, Sang Jing smiled sheepishly.

In the evening, Sang Jing stood alone at the village entrance, holding her phone. Tan Wei and the others were watching her livestream simultaneously from outside the village.

Shen Lan had originally prepared a few protective talismans for Sang Jing, but she had been rejected without hesitation.

The explanation Sang Jing gave was that she was afraid of alerting the snake by beating the grass. Shen Lan’s talismans were too powerful, and that would defeat the purpose of entering the game herself.

Shen Lan readily accepted this explanation.

After entering the village, Sang Jing had originally wanted Xie Yu to help her hold the phone. She could cover up Xie Yu’s ghostly energy so that those ghosts wouldn’t find her.

But Xie Yu refused to come out of the paper effigy, and the paper effigy was also listless.

“No, I’m not going out. I’m scared,” Xie Yu said. She had been scared when she watched the video during the day.

Sang Jing: “…”

What’s the use of this assistant?

“I’m here. What are you afraid of? Besides, there are only two children here and…”

“Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it,” Xie Yu said, clinging to Sang Jing’s waist, hiding her face in her clothes.

Seeing that she wouldn’t come out no matter what, Sang Jing had no choice but to work alone.

She adjusted the angle and started the livestream.

【Sang Sang, I’m here!!! I’m the first!!!】

【Why did the streamer not stream yesterday!! I waited for a long time.】

【Wait, why is it so dark on the streamer’s side? So no divination or face reading today, but a ghost-catching livestream!!??? I’m so excited! I’ve already gone to the bathroom and am tucked in bed.】

【Ah, I don’t dare to watch this. I’m afraid of jump scares.】

【With Sang Sang here, I’m not afraid! Sang Sang, Sang Sang!】

【Why does this environment look so familiar?】

【Me too. I have a bad feeling.】

【Hey, where’s Assistant Xiao Xie? Isn’t she with her?】

Sang Jing looked at the bullet comments and answered their questions. “Yes, I’m outside today. This place, hmm, has been quite famous recently. It seems to be called ‘Ghost Village’. As for Assistant Xiao Xie, she’s scared and doesn’t dare to come out.”

With that, the bullet comments paused for a moment, then went crazy—

【Ah?????】

【?】

【Stop, stop, stop. Is it the ‘Ghost Village’ I’ve seen?】

【My god, Sang Sang, you’re playing so big after not streaming for a day.】

【Why don’t you just not go? I heard that all five people from the ‘Ghost Sighting’ account have had accidents, and one of them is still missing. This place is really not right.】

【I don’t dare to watch anymore. I’m not watching. Goodbye, everyone.】

【Sang Sang, don’t be so brave. If something happens to you, who will I watch in the future?】

【Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying? Nothing will happen to Sang Sang. Sang Sang, don’t worry, I’m already prepared to call the police.】

【Don’t risk your life for popularity. I’m really fed up with streamers these days. Someone has already had an accident, and you’re still coming. Even if you have some skills, don’t be too arrogant.】

【Sang Sang, can you talk more? We’re also quite scared.】

Sang Jing had to hold her phone and a flashlight. She sighed. “Why don’t you come out? Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Xie Yu hesitated for a moment. “Then can I hug you if I’m scared? You’re not allowed to hit me.”

Sang Jing: “…You can.”

Why does she have such a violent image in Xie Yu’s eyes?

The camera shook for a moment.

Xie Yu’s face appeared on the screen.

【?】

【A living person appearing out of thin air? Where did she come from?】

【It should be… a living ghost appearing out of thin air, right? Does anyone still remember that Assistant Xiao Xie is actually a floaty?】

Xie Yu took the phone from Sang Jing’s hand and flipped the camera to face Sang Jing.

Sang Jing had just taken a step when her arm was tightly held.

Half of Xie Yu’s body was pressed against Sang Jing, her eyes conveying the message: You said I could hug you.

“Let’s go.”
