Chapter 0001 The Forgotten Woman

I stretched and prepared to sleep, when suddenly, in the quiet shop, the sound of a vibrating phone broke the silence

At the moment I touched the icon, I felt as if my fingertip had been bitten by something, causing a slight pain. However, this sensation was fleeting, and I did not pay it any mind

Two hundred and fifty is still two hundred and fifty, a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat, this week's meal money is certainly secured

What is the most terrifying experience you have ever had

I apologize for the interruption... I cleared my throat lightly and said, "Madam, may I ask how this is related to your visit with me?"

The large screen is empty, with the only app appearing solitary.

However, with an income of 250 yuan, my mood improved again, and I prepared to go out for a hearty meal

I have clicked several times, but the software did not open; there seems to be some issue

If it were not for the fact that it has been two months since the opening, I would certainly not pay any attention to this, as it appears to be the behavior of a mentally unstable woman

Survival has become my foremost challenge

Sister, for something like amnesia, it would be better to consult a detective or a doctor! My area of expertise is fortune-telling and assessing auspiciousness!" I pointed to the old, curled poster on the wall

The most terrifying thing is that you have even forgotten yourself

The woman lifted her head, revealing an eye filled with red veins amidst her disheveled hair, and spoke to herself as if she did not care whether I responded or not

Have you heard? There has been another death at the Eight Immortals Bun Shop! The manner of death is identical to the previous cases, with the throat being slit and the victim bleeding to death.

I have no interest whatsoever in her nonsensical words

I pulled down the roller shutter and went to the Huangmen Chicken Rice place that I often visit

sneaked away

"How much money do you have?" Upon hearing the word 'money', my attitude softened, after all, a poor person has limited aspirations. "I require a deposit first, five hundred, and I will not negotiate on the price."

For half a second, I felt a pang of anxiety as I noticed the light flickering from the drawer of the counter, and then I remembered that the phone of that crazy woman was still inside it

The house that the diners are discussing is a short-term rental, located at the very edge of our urban village. It is run by an elderly couple who built it themselves, and it is quite well-known in our area

However, this point was denied by the police, as the investigation revealed that those women had all committed suicide, having cut their own throats with a knife

The mature and beautiful face of the woman appeared exceptionally pale in the dimly lit shop

Therefore, there are almost no customers, and it has been a long time since we last opened.

In the evening, the bustling and noisy urban village quiets down after a long day

I have tried, but it was useless; they cannot see me at all. The woman shook her head in frustration

I only have one memory, which is this phone. The woman took out a black phone and placed it on the counter, a deep fear hidden in her eyes

"I can't believe it! When eating, please do not mention such bloody matters..."

I felt a shiver run down my spine, my phone is right in my hand, where is this sound coming from

One can tell from the name that it is a peculiar live broadcast focused on supernatural exploration. Could it be that she has watched too many of these broadcasts and has frightened herself silly?

For me, the most terrifying thing is being forgotten

I originally intended to go there to assess the feng shui and earn a commission, but I later dismissed this idea because each time I approached that house, I felt an overwhelming chill and my eyelids twitched uncontrollably

I opened the drawer, picked up my phone, and was taken aback.

Is it possible that she remembered her phone was left with me and is preparing to take it back

The weather is clear today, and I saw her walk in under the blazing sun. If she were a ghost, I would perform a handstand and urinate.

Several matches have concluded, and the night is already deep

Some say that they are the murderers, that they lured the woman with black hair and red clothing to rent a house, and then brutally killed her

Putting the money into my pocket, I examined this woman with a slight headache

I closed the door, as usual, sitting alone in the shop watching game live streams on my phone

The elderly couple usually behaves mysteriously and rarely interacts with others. Especially the old woman, after the bun shop could no longer operate, no one has seen her.

Her hands are very cold, unlike the temperature of a living person

How terrifying could the content inside be

You are clearly alive, yet it is as if you have already died

That means there is no money

Under normal circumstances, after such a brutal murder, no one should dare to go to that short-term rental, and at the very least, no one would be willing to stay in Room 4

Those of us in this profession tend to be quite superstitious, and we avoid strange occurrences whenever possible

Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and opinions vary widely, with no definitive conclusion

My name is Li Yunfeng. I make a living from this feng shui shop left by my father, helping people with fortune-telling, exorcism, and feng shui consultations. However, I do not possess any real skills; I rely solely on my words to deceive others, and I am not even a half-baked practitioner.

A total of 250 pieces

The 7.9-inch large-screen smartphone has an unremarkable exterior, yet when held in hand, it feels like a piece of ice, chilling to the bone

What a lunatic! I muttered to myself as I threw the black phone into the drawer

I am completely at a loss when it comes to mental health issues, and I do not know how to approach it at the moment. After some thought, I asked: "Have you encountered any strange people or events recently?"

Some people also say that the bun shop has something dirty, and every six months, they must kill a beautiful woman

Elder sister, please return home early to take your medicine, I am very busy

The elderly couple originally ran a steamed bun shop, which was said to have once been very prosperous. However, later on, someone found a human finger in a bun, and no one dared to go there again

Faced with her question, I was momentarily taken aback, various imaginations floated through my mind, yet none of them were as terrifying as my current situation

I cast a glance and couldn't help but twitch my lips

However, it is sinister that every six months, a female resident dies, reportedly all young women with long black hair and red dresses, and they all reside in Room 4

Yes, no

Strangely, every six months, a woman meets a tragic end in that room

I am somewhat curious and am preparing to open the software to take a look

"This is all I have on me right now," the woman said, searching through her belongings in embarrassment, ultimately pulling out three crumpled banknotes.

"Sister, your phone..." I looked up, but was taken aback; the woman who had just been sitting across the counter had vanished, leaving the seat empty.

The host's identity has been linked, initial live broadcast location: Baxian Steamed Bun Shop, would you like to open the live broadcast room? The phone vibrates incessantly, and a line of blood-red text is flashing on the screen

The bold Old Zhang took a glance and said, "The blood is everywhere, not only is the quilt on the bed soaked, but even the walls and the floor are covered..."

The bun shop could not continue operating, so the elderly couple converted their house into a short-term rental.

Below the blood character, there are two options

"You are not a ghost, how could they not see you?" I have already concluded that this woman is not normal; she is quite beautiful, but unfortunately has mental issues

"I would like you to help me find out what is going on, and most importantly, who I am." The woman looked at me intently with her reddened eyes

Buzz buzz buzz

live streaming software

No password, the screen unlocks directly

You can rest assured, once I find out who I am, I will give you everything! The woman repeatedly assured me, looking at me anxiously, as if I were her last lifeline

"I am not crazy! I came to you because you are the only one who can see me!" The woman, in a fit of urgency, grasped my hand tightly, her haggard and emaciated face drawing closer to mine, "As long as you help me, any amount of money is fine!"

You clearly exist in this world, yet not a single person around you remembers you; all your relatives, friends, and even enemies have lost their memory of you

The icon is a black and white square, resembling a frame for a memorial photo, which appears somewhat eerie; however, it is empty inside, with the words "Strange Tales Live Room" written below.

In her thirties, she is very beautiful, and a red long dress accentuates her curvaceous figure, yet her dark circles and haggard face make her look as if she could break down at any moment
