Chapter 413 The End of the World

[Oh my god, this is too scary, right? Then what did we see through Shi Ling? A mirage?]

How did a good paranormal livestream become sci-fi? If our world and our memories can be modified at will, then what are we? Are we NPCs created by beings from a higher dimension? This scares me more than the existence of ghosts.

[I have a feeling this isn't some script Shi Ling arranged... This forgotten corner thing is ridiculous. That photo is fake too, right?]

A local from the old town came out to respond in the live broadcast room.

The photo is real. I know this place. "Prisoners of Time" used to talk about 34 Hemu Street, and I was confused. I grew up in the old city, so where was Hemu Street? Later, when I saw Shi Ling's photos of this old street, I still found it strange. But when I saw the wasteland in Old Man Chen's photo, I remembered it. This wasteland is like a garbage dump for this area. It's dirty and smelly, and there are many insects, snakes, and broken glass, so almost no one goes there. But I have no recollection of the fire ten years ago.

[In fact, whether it is true or not, as long as Shi Ling goes on the live broadcast, won’t everything be revealed? ]

【What if Shi Ling was also wiped out? 】

Shi Ling is so powerful that he was able to find Bai Hang after he disappeared for ten years. He shouldn't disappear.

I feel like the people who enter the old street might not be dead yet. Didn't the "time prisoner" say he lives there, reliving the day his family died in the fire? Perhaps everyone who enters the old street is just like him, repeating the same cycle day after day? Shi Ling might be able to save them if he goes in.

Shi Ling turned his gaze away from the wasteland photo and looked at the old man: "I can take you to find your wife and son. Would you like to go in with me?"

However, the old man looked terrified. He took two steps back and muttered, "I don't want to go in. I can't go in. I'll disappear. I'll really disappear..."

Shi Ling said, "Not as long as I'm here."

"I won't go, I won't go!"

Old man Chen kept shaking his head, turned around and ran away.

Shi Ling raised his hand, and a light golden spiritual power wrapped around him like a rope and pulled him back.

"Let's go, sir."

Netizens were stunned.

[This, this, this, Shi Ling just tied someone up and took them in? What if something happened...]

[If something happens, we won’t remember what she did, hahaha]

[Goodness, she could have just kidnapped him, but she actually asked him if he was willing]

Most netizens did not believe what Old Man Chen said, or they trusted Shi Ling too much, so when they saw her forcibly taking Old Man Chen into the old street, they all treated it as a joke.

Only some haters took the opportunity to criticize Shi Ling: [Shi Ling is too much. The old man was obviously afraid of that place and didn't want to go in, but she actually forced him. If something really happened, would she be able to take responsibility?]

Shi Ling fans: [If something really happens, you won’t be able to scold me anymore]

Time Prisoner: [Come quickly... Come quickly... I've been waiting for you for a long time...]

When entering the old street, nothing seemed to have changed.

Old man Chen, who was tied up by Shi Ling, kept struggling in fear, repeating, "I don't want to go in. We will die. We will disappear. You stinky girl, how can you repay kindness with hatred? I kindly warned you, but you want to take me to die with you."

Shi Ling held his hand, and the live camera was facing forward, showing netizens the road conditions. "Uncle, don't you want to see what's at the end of the road? Maybe there will be the person you think about day and night?"

The old street wasn't as straight and wide as the modern city roads. The old buildings on either side were uneven, squeezing out a small path paved with bluestone. The path twisted and turned like a snake, blocked by the residential buildings, making it seem like a winding path with no end in sight.

I don't know when the sky began to rain heavily in spring, and a thin mist covered the surroundings.

Netizens were worried and felt something unusual.

Someone livens up the atmosphere: [We need some quiet background music at this moment]

The next second, the sound of "kong kong kong" music rang out all around.

Netizens who are watching the live broadcast: 【!!!】

This "kong kong kong" sound is clearly coming from my phone, but why does it feel like it's sometimes on my left, sometimes on my right, and sometimes coming from my desk?

[Holy crap, I was slacking off in the company restroom when I heard this noise and I was so scared I pulled up my pants and ran into my boss who was using the restroom.]

"Oh my god, where is that sound coming from? I'm scared even when I'm off camera, so wouldn't the anchor be scared when they're in it?"

Shi Ling saw many people asking her if she was scared in the comments, and she was a little confused: "Why should I be scared?"

[Sure enough, being a metaphysical anchor is not something a normal person can do. The anchor is really brave.]

Netizens just sighed, and the next second they heard Shi Ling say: "This is the background music I made for you, it's called "The Grotto", do you feel the atmosphere?"

Netizens: [……]

[Okay, okay, the song is very nice, please don’t play it next time]

[I was attacked mentally. Can I ask Shi Ling to compensate me for the mental damages? I don't need to pay much. Just stay with me for the rest of my life.]

Shi Ling: "...This song is perfect for listening to when you're lonely."

Fans have already caught up with Shi Ling's train of thought: [After listening to it, I felt that there were people everywhere, it was so lively, right?]

[If you ask me, this song is suitable for listening to when running at night, it feels like there is a ghost chasing you.]

"Don't go any further." Old man Chen behind him said painfully.

Further ahead is the corner where Old Man Chen remembered his son and his friends disappeared.

The moment I turned the corner, the dilapidated and blackened residential buildings in front of me suddenly came alive. The dead vines climbing all over the walls were covered with lush ivy. The originally empty balconies of the residential buildings were also filled with clothes hanging out to dry. Several families planted roses, and the red and yellow flowers hung down among the green leaves.

The narrow alley was suddenly crowded with people. Vegetable vendors lined the streets, and many women carried baskets filled with fresh vegetables still wet with morning dew. People walked in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing, as if it were just another ordinary, uneventful morning.

Everything before them was filled with the vibrant life of fireworks, and the dilapidated and decaying old street behind them seemed like two worlds separated by a chasm. And they seemed to be standing at the end of two worlds.

The struggling old man Chen suddenly froze.

He thought that there was a huge monster with its mouth open that could devour everything waiting for him in the old street around the corner, but he didn't expect that it would be such a world full of fireworks. The tense and frightened emotions were all soothed at this moment.

"How could this happen? Didn't everyone on this street move away? How come there are still people living here?"

Old man Chen felt a hint of weirdness in this peace. He looked at the unfamiliar faces coming and going and turned his head suddenly.

I discovered that the originally deserted streets behind me were completely new.

They have completely entered into that new world of fireworks.

The song is very nice, I recommend watching it with "The Grotto" at night
