“What actress?”
“Stop pretending. The one who played the Pen Fairy just now.”
Xiao Long’s expression immediately darkened. Before the stream, Brother Hao had said Brother Biao was ugly enough already. Bringing any women along would only create a contrast and steal Brother Biao’s spotlight.
That was why they had not invited a single woman.
Xiao Long was about to tell Brother Biao when Xiao Hu’s voice sounded ahead.
Everyone hurried over and found Xiao Hu sitting in a restroom, soaked from head to toe. His lips trembled as he pointed at the mirror.
“Huh? The kid’s acting has improved,” Brother Biao praised.
He hurried over. Xiao Hu shook violently and pointed into the restroom, unable to form a word.
Brother Biao quickly raised the phone.
“Brothers, this is the second game of our expedition. According to legend, if you repeatedly play rock-paper-scissors in front of a mirror, your reflection’s throws will gradually begin to differ from yours. Eventually, it may even beat you. When that happens, you’ll be dragged into the mirror to-hey, stop pulling me!”
Brother Biao glared angrily at Xiao Hu behind him. The kid could not handle praise. Brother Biao had only just complimented him, and already he was ruining the scene. Why pull him now?
Xiao Hu pointed at the mirror in terror and waved his hands frantically.
“You saw it?” Brother Biao shouted, sounding frightened.
Inside, however, he was impressed. Xiao Hu had improved. Give him a little more time and he would be ready to work independently!
“Damn, this is getting scarier. I hardly dare watch.”
“Exactly. Brother Biao’s streams are always the most exciting.”
“Unlike that Liu Ye. He’s a complete failure. He keeps pretending he can see a ghost, but he’s only talking to empty air. Isn’t that hilarious?”
At that comment, Brother Biao and his assistants blinked, then turned their heads.
A woman dressed in white stood beside Liu Ye. Liu Ye cracked sunflower seeds while lecturing her in exasperation.
“Big Sister, I’m not trying to criticize you, but how can you stay with a man like that? I would’ve divorced him eight times by now. You’re too softhearted. Divorce him, then call your father and brother over. Let’s see if he still dares hit you. Honestly…”
Everyone fell silent.
Brother, this is a paranormal stream. How did it turn into a family melodrama?
Brother Biao hurriedly dragged Liu Ye over.
“Yezi was gathering intelligence just now. I must say, our Yezi is quite courageous. So for this game, we’ll let Yezi take the lead!”
He shoved Liu Ye into the restroom.
Xiao Long and Xiao Hu were almost losing their minds. The woman stood directly behind them, staring without blinking. An icy aura poured continuously from her body.
“Why are you two still standing there? Hurry over!”
We want to!
They had only just started to move when an icy hand landed on each of their shoulders, freezing them in place.
Brother Biao watched their useless performance and felt speechless. When had the two become such cowards? How could a minor scene frighten them this badly?
Some viewers, however, sensed that something was wrong.
“Why does that woman look familiar?”
“Now that you mention it, I’ve seen her somewhere too!”
“Damn it, isn’t that the woman who died from domestic abuse recently? The story was all over the internet. Her husband was a small-business owner, and he dismembered her!”
“Holy shit!”
The chat exploded.
The woman’s face was perfectly illuminated. She looked identical to the photographs online.
The case had even appeared on the news, so there was no possibility that the story was fabricated.
“M-Maybe she had a twin?”
“Yes, that must be it. People will do anything for fame these days. They’re exploiting a dead woman’s tragedy!”
“Are you idiots? She had only one brother. You can look up her entire family online. It’s over. This is really over. I can’t believe Fiends actually exist!”
“I don’t dare watch anymore.”
“Go… go to that kid’s stream. He’s started the game.”
Many viewers immediately switched to Liu Ye’s room.
Liu Ye was determined to do this properly. Brother Biao had kindly brought him along, and Liu Ye could not ruin the man’s broadcast.
Following Brother Biao’s instructions, he began playing rock-paper-scissors.
“Rock, paper, scissors. Rock, paper, scissors…”
Liu Ye repeatedly challenged his reflection. Nothing happened at first, but the viewers gradually noticed something strange.
“Did you see that? The streamer’s reflection is throwing a little late.”
“Yes! I saw it too.”
“It’s over. This rookie is finished.”
“But he’s incredibly calm. Even now, his expression hasn’t changed at all.”
Brother Biao was also surprised.
“You guys really spent some money this time. That prop looks so convincing even I can’t tell whether it’s real.”
Xiao Long and Xiao Hu fell silent.
As if you could tell anything!
At that moment, Liu Ye threw rock, but his reflection slowly produced paper.
An eerie smile spread across the reflection’s face.
“It’s over!”
“That rookie is dead!”
“It’s probably fake. The effects are just very convincing.”
As soon as the comment appeared, Liu Ye’s reflection flew out of the mirror and seized his arm.
Smack!
Liu Ye backhanded it straight into the mirror.
Everyone fell silent.
The Fiend clutched its face and stared at Liu Ye in terror. Liu Ye rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go after it.
Xiaoshuai, who was filming behind him, hurriedly intervened.
“Brother Liu! Brother Liu, we’re live. A lot of children are watching. This will set a bad example. If they slap an adults-only rating on us, it’ll interfere with our earnings.”
“But he changed his throw after me!”
Everyone fell silent.
Brother, did you not see that thing crawl out of the mirror? And you’re worried that it threw late?
“I’m serious. Ask him if you don’t believe me!”
Liu Ye pointed at Xiaoshuai.
“I can confirm that. It definitely changed its throw after Brother Liu.”
Everyone fell silent.
That was not the point!
Of course Xiaoshuai understood the point. The problem was that Brother Liu had declared the late throw to be the problem, which meant it was the problem. What if Brother Liu was wrong? Refer to the previous sentence.
“All right, everyone, watch closely. Today, he and I will settle this once and for all. The loser gets slapped!”
The reflection was visibly frightened. It tried to flee, only to discover that the surrounding space had been sealed. White light shone on every side. If the Fiend touched it, the flames would burn it out of existence.
“Hurry up!”
The reflection shuddered and threw scissors. Liu Ye threw paper.
Liu Ye fell silent.
