Chapter 0006: Open the Door Differently

I don't know, this room is assigned to me by the boss. Hongjie covered her mouth and yawned, appearing very tired and sleepy, and wearily leaned her head against the corner of the wall

Uh... I was at a loss for words, "You don't even know, then what are you afraid of?"

Before I had a chance to react, the light bulb above my head flickered twice and suddenly went out

I do not know

In the black-and-white image on the screen, the door slowly opens a crack, and a pale, slender hand reaches in, grasping the door panel

In order to prevent her from being objectified by the lewd viewers in the live stream, I switched the camera, which resulted in their dissatisfaction

"Do not open the door, it is outside." The woman raised her head, her red eyes peering through her disheveled black hair as she spoke to me in a chilling voice

I bravely pressed my eyes against the peephole once more; within the distorted view, the corridor was shrouded in darkness, devoid of any figures and not a sound to be heard

Although she no longer screamed, she still stared intently at the doorway, her body curled up in the corner of the bed, trembling. Her long, fair legs were exposed outside her skirt, completely unaware that her actions had revealed more than intended.

Forcing myself to remain calm, I turned on the flashlight on my phone, aimed the phone at the door, while I looked at the screen

Click

I turned around and saw her huddled in the corner of the bed, her wide-open eyes filled with terror

He

Her fearful demeanor indicates that there is indeed something outside; she just does not know whether what she fears is the woman in the red dress seen by the viewers.

Although this is our second meeting, I haven't had the chance to introduce myself. My surname is Li, and you can call me Boss Li. What about you, what is your name?

Is it still her

This is the most terrifying place, everyone says there are people outside, yet I see nothing myself

Chirping and squeaking

The atmosphere in a room shared by a solitary man and a solitary woman is not only devoid of ambiguity but also permeated with an oddness in every aspect

Why hasn't the host taken action yet? I've been waiting so long that the flowers have withered!

It

The woman in the red dress mentioned by the water friends does not seem to have come over

Immediately afterwards, the locked door was opened again

Hongjie kept repeating this one sentence. If it were any other time, I would definitely think she was mentally challenged, but now I believe she is deliberately pretending to be foolish

There is also a woman outside wearing a red dress

The viewers in the live broadcast room do not know each other and cannot possibly conspire to deceive me; their statements are surprisingly uniform, and something absolutely happened outside

If I cannot clarify this issue, and danger approaches without my awareness, it would be a significant problem

A hint of confusion flashed in the woman's eyes as she shook her head and said, "I don't know"

Can we talk about it? I can be sure that she is human, and I am not too worried about being in the same room with her, after all, she is just a frail woman

The doors and windows are tightly shut, and the small room is completely sealed, making the air very stuffy

I do not know how I came here, but I know that I must stay here tonight, otherwise terrible things will happen..." Hongjie paused at this point

Hongjie’s cry abruptly ceased

Hongjie fell silent, appearing as if she wanted to sleep but dared not do so, her eyes occasionally fixed warily on the doorway, as if something terrifying might rush in at any moment

With my eyes wide open, I held my breath, my hands in my pockets, simultaneously gripping a Swiss knife and a protective talisman.

After some contemplation, I walked slowly to the bedside

The host is about to make a move on the girl, it's simply beastly

It seems that nothing can be asked from her appearance

Silence fell over the room

Thinking of this, I could not wait to verify it. I took my phone and scanned the entire room, not even sparing the bathroom. However, there was nothing extra in the room in the video.

I am not sure whether she is pretending or truly does not remember; she said the same thing last time in my shop

This poor acting, this ridiculous plot, deserves a negative review

The water friends were left quite bewildered by me, but I breathed a slight sigh of relief, as it at least proved that the room was safe. I then looked towards the door, hesitating whether to open it and verify the existence of the woman in the red dress outside.

Why did I not see it when the door was closed just now

So boring! I somewhat regret it, why did I have to see it until now

The heart beats with tension and unease, and I cannot tell if it is an illusion. Although I see nothing, I can distinctly feel that something is right at the door

Then why did you come here? Do you not know what the Eight Immortals Steamed Bun Shop is?

"Who? The woman outside?" Her fearful expression made my mood tense as well

I hesitated for a moment and abandoned the idea of threatening with a knife; with so many viewers in the live stream watching, I would surely be seen as the villain.

Host, are you capable or not? If not, just say so, don't waste my data!

It has come! It has come! The screams of Hongjie grew louder, her body desperately shrinking back, wishing she could squeeze herself into the wall

I have no mind to care about what they think, I am fixated on the screen, fearing that something might actually come in.

"It has come." Suddenly, a trembling shout from Hongjie came from behind.

The phone was given to me by her, and it also appeared in Room 4 of the bun shop. This is definitely not a coincidence; she must know something. I need to find a way to extract some information from her.

A chill seeped in quietly

The number of people in the live broadcast room has decreased again. As I watched the barrage of comments flashing across the screen, I suddenly felt a stir in my heart

"Rest assured, I won't open it." There was only one bed in the room, and I tried to sit on the other side of the bed, smiling and doing my best to appear a bit more friendly.

The faint smell of blood seems to remind one that a gruesome incident had occurred in this room not long ago, leaving one unable to relax for even a moment

The room suddenly plunged into darkness

What is the host doing? This camera angle is making my head spin

Hey upstairs, are you out of your mind? Isn't he live streaming himself? Does he even care whether there are cameras or not

The boss asked you to stay in room 4? My brows furrowed even deeper, knowing full well that there were issues with the room yet still renting it out, that old man is certainly not a good person

The host is worse than a beast

Strongly opposed! Why did the host switch perspectives? Benefits should be shared by all

What the viewers see is an image captured by a mobile phone, while I perceive things through my eyes. To be precise, these two are not the same image... Could it be that this phone can capture things that are invisible to the naked eye?

The cold white light shone on the old door panel, leaving the viewers in the live broadcast room in a state of confusion

I ignored them and continued to smile at the woman

A faint sound of the lock spring bouncing was heard

I don't know. "Sister Hong" shook her head again

Let go of that girl, let me handle it!

My only trump card is the spirit-restraining talisman given to me by Wang Quezi, and I still do not know if it is real or not. What if there really are ghosts? Should I draw my knife first or use the talisman first?

It would be better to wait until the live broadcast is over before slowly discussing it with her

Sister Hong? I called out, but there was no response

The room was enveloped in a deathly silence

The door slowly creaked open inward, the sound of the wooden axle rubbing against the frame was particularly jarring in the silence

Is it true that ghosts exist? This atmosphere is a bit frightening

Is the host checking for cameras in the room? With such extensive experience, they must be a seasoned veteran

Regardless of whether ghosts truly exist, it is better to discover and respond to them early

I loosened the collar of my shirt and, feeling somewhat irritated, lit a cigarette. I began to ponder why the viewers could see the woman in the red dress outside, while I could not.

"Isn't it scary to live here!" I frowned slightly, "Do you know what happened in Room 4?"

Standing at the door, I feel a tingling sensation on my scalp

I withdrew my gaze, turned around, and scrutinized the woman on the bed once more with a sense of confusion

Then let's temporarily call you Sister Hong, Sister Hong, is there anything outside? Is it very frightening?
