Chapter 210 Clicked in immediately

The person in charge continued, "If you don't choose to connect with our SC at 4 o'clock, we will send a final SC at 5 o'clock, using the same code. If we can successfully connect at 4 o'clock, we'll talk about it then."

"Also, the difficulty of this instance isn't just in choosing your audience. When you're not interacting with them, you must conserve your energy and rest. The livestream lasts three days, but there's no food or water in the room, so you'll slowly reach your physical limits. Furthermore, the cramped, dark room is incredibly stressful psychologically. We'll try to arrange for people to send you barrages of messages to provide psychological counseling and share what you need to know. We don't know how many messages we can get through, but we'll do our best."

"But you can't stare at the screen all the time, so we set a timer. We'll send you a message about every 30 minutes or so, and we'll also let you know about news from other live broadcast rooms."

The person in charge talked a lot, and the 10 minutes were about to end. The person in charge was silent for a while, and asked He Sitong: "What do you want to post the most?"

The brief silence he showed actually indicated that He Sitong was not in a good mood, because the person in charge had already said that he would not send any messages in the next two hours, which meant that he really would not send any messages. He Sitong would have to choose the comments and the audience by herself, and there was a high probability that He Sitong would choose a ghost.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for He Sitong to be in high spirits.

He Sitong was stunned for a moment after hearing the person in charge's words, then forced a smile. "Then ask everyone to post more Xi Ning CP fan fiction. I want to read that."

The person in charge fell silent again, probably surprised that He Sitong was still thinking about the couple at this time. But then he thought, this was not a bad choice. Fan fiction could at least distract He Sitong. So he sighed and nodded. Only thirty seconds remained.

At this moment, He Sitong suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask the person in charge: "How is Sister Xi? Did she connect to Sister Caihua during her first live broadcast?"

The person in charge didn't remain silent this time, but shrugged. "No, she saw the first SC very quickly and clicked on it, and then fell into the trap. But don't worry, she's fine, nothing happened."

He Sitong smiled softly, and this time it didn't seem forced, but rather she was very happy.

"Is that so..."

In the last ten seconds, the person in charge only had time to say: "He Sitong, see you at 4 o'clock."

"Okay, see you at 4!" He Sitong cheered up a little and ended the video chat with the person in charge. She glanced at the time. It was 1:11. It didn't matter. She was great. She found the person in charge's comment directly, didn't she? Next, she would find the comments of the living people too!

As for Lin Xi, exactly as He Sitong had said, she immediately reached out and clicked on the SC. After all, Lin Xi used to hang out at illegal internet cafes and play online games, so her hand speed was incredibly fast. She thought to herself: "How could a little SC possibly escape my eyes? I'm dreaming!"

Scroll up and find SC, then right-click. Quickly, she immediately made the connection.

It's just that this SC isn't quite like Cai Hua's style. It says: [Lin Xi, choose me! Right now!] Cai Hua wouldn't be the type to be so brief. Aside from that petty framer in Werewolf who only allowed SC comments to be 10 words or less, Cai Hua always aims to fill it with 30 words each time.

This time, even with the punctuation marks, there are more than 10 characters, a total of 11, and it is not within ten characters. Looking at the comments posted by others, they are all very long, there should be no word limit.

While Lin Xi was still lost in thought, she didn't notice that Chen Sang Ning was stifling laughter behind her. Chen Sang Ning didn't stop Lin Xi from clicking on the comment. To be more precise, even if she wanted to, it would have been too late. Lin Xi was too fast, almost like lightning.

Although Lin Xi felt it was a bit strange and not in line with Cai Hua's style, on the other hand, she felt that she was really too fast. With this hand speed, haha, if she went back to play online games now, there might not be many people who could be her opponents.

After connecting, the livestream screen changed slightly. Originally, Lin Xi was the only person on the screen, a rectangular screen. Now, the rectangle was split in two, two vertical screens joined together.

The figure on the left was still Lin Xi, while the screen on the right was indeed black. After a while, a pattern of dots, like the ones on a TV, appeared on the black screen. Lin Xi was wearing headphones, and along with the dots came a whirring sound. The sound was a bit jarring, and Lin Xi couldn't help but take off the headset.

She even turned her head to complain to Shen Sangning, "The signal between the real world and here isn't very good. It's been thirty seconds and it's still just a snowy line. And the noise is really loud."

Shen Sangning looked at Lin Xi, then at the screen, and chuckled softly: "Okay, the picture is out."

Lin Xi looked up and saw the image had indeed appeared. She quickly put on her headphones. There was still some electrical noise inside, but it was not serious. It was not as sharp as before and could be barely heard.

On the other side of the screen, the snowflakes disappeared, but the picture was still unstable and there were some stuttering. Cai Hua appeared in the picture. She was also wearing headphones, but unlike Lin Xi's gaming headphones, Cai Hua was wearing in-ear headphones that looked like mobile phone headphones.

"Hey, Lin Xi, can you hear me?"

Just with this one sentence, Lin Xi felt something was wrong.

Although she was a bit clumsy, she was still alert, and she knew exactly what kind of person Cai Hua was. Cai Hua would never ask tentatively like this. After confirming that Lin Xi was across the screen, she would definitely cherish the time to confirm the current situation with Lin Xi and tell her what she should pay attention to next.

She wouldn't even tell Lin Xi directly what to do. Cai Hua knew that Lin Xi was the kind of person who would give in to soft words and didn't like being told what to do, so she wouldn't tell her directly what to do. Instead, she would tell her the situation and let her make her own choice, or provide advice but it would be up to Lin Xi whether to adopt it or not.

It's a bit OOC for such a calm person who doesn't waste time to start with such a sentence.

Ghosts these days are no good. No matter how hard they try to pretend to be human, they are always seen through at the first sight.

After realizing something was amiss, Lin Xi began to observe this "Cai Hua" carefully, and then she discovered something else. Cai Hua must have been in the control room during her live broadcast. She had been to the control room before, and all 150 staff members were inside. The space was spacious and filled with computers. No matter where she was, there were always computer lights around her.

Moreover, the main control room is not dim. Although the lights cannot be turned up too brightly because we need to watch the big screen, we still ensure that there is enough light so that everyone does not have to work in the dark.

Cai Hua wouldn't leave the big screen, essentially staying fixed in that spot. But in the current scene, Cai Hua's surroundings were pitch black and silent. While there was no guarantee that the game wouldn't use a cutout to mask out everything around her, at least there should be some light around her.

You can't just take Caihua into the small dark room when the microphone is connected.

There's also the possibility that Caihua, because she was going to connect with the microphone, noticed the rules stated there could only be "one audience member," so she deliberately went to a quiet little room. However, this is unlikely. She's not the type to go to such lengths. Even if she went to the side, she wouldn't leave the main control room and run into a dark corner.

Besides, there is no such place in the base.

The most important point is that Cai Hua's complexion is a little too good... If Lin Xi didn't know that the Cai Hua in front of him was fake, he would have suspected that the live broadcast room of "Rules and Ghost Talk" had smoothed Cai Hua's skin, because how come the dark circles under Cai Hua's eyes disappeared?

Yes, that's the real deal. Cai Hua in front of me has no dark circles or eye bags! Is that even possible? How come Cai Hua's tired, almost-fainting look is gone? Darkness beneath her glasses, a daily reliance on coffee, is her trademark.

In the last copy, even the book knew Cai Hua’s image. The image you created now is too careless!

Seeing that Lin Xi hadn't responded for a long time, Cai Hua on the other side couldn't help but say, "Lin Xi, your situation is very bad now. You must do what I say next..."

Cai Hua didn't seem to say such things, which made Lin Xi even more certain that the person before him wasn't Cai Hua. Once this suspicion was established, he could then find more evidence on the "fake Cai Hua." The glasses effectively diminished the fake Cai Hua's inhumanity, but if one looked closely, one could see a hint of white deep within its eyes.

Lin Xi simply placed her hands on the table, her palms supporting her cheeks, trying to see what the fake Caihua in front of her would say. All the fake Caihua said was that she should pay attention to her information and that she would send her a SC later, asking her to choose her.

But the relevant secret code and the subsequent arrangements were not mentioned.

This made Lin Xi feel a little sleepy, and she couldn't help but yawn. As of now, it hadn't even been five minutes yet, and the time in the bottom right corner of the screen was 01:05. Because Lin Xi clicked very quickly, it was still at 05. Maybe it would jump to 06 after five and a half minutes.

The fake Caihua seemed to have discovered that Lin Xi already knew that she was not Caihua, and she got angry.

Its angry reaction was to slam the table, scolding Lin Xi for not listening to it carefully, while reaching out its hand from the screen.

Many ghosts in the game "Rules of Strange Tales" can be moved through the screen. Lin Xi had witnessed this in the first dungeon, "Sweet Home." Later, he even fished through the screen and got a lot of snacks for Shen Sangning.

It reached out with alacrity. Lin Xi saw a pair of pale hands reaching out from the screen and instantly kicked the ground and retreated backwards. Shen Sangning also naturally moved to the side. The light from the screen shone on its hands, the cold light making them appear bloodless.

It was grabbing something randomly in the air, just like the classic ghost hand in horror movies that was doing nothing.

It's pretty good. The sudden scare technique is really good. But the ghost appeared a little too slowly.
