Chen Ge was worried that the landlord next door would hear him, so he spoke in a low voice. He was not deliberately creating this tense atmosphere.
After he finished saying all that, Heshan on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded. This simple college student who had worked his way up from a mountain village to a medical school had never expected that his first phone call with an online friend would lead them to discuss such an exciting topic as a family murder case.
"Are you in that haunted house now?"
"right."
"Could the landlord next door be the murderer from five years ago?"
"kindness."
"I'm a little confused. Let me think about it." Heshan held the phone. The two sides of the phone were like two completely different worlds. People in the dormitory were playing PUBG and League of Legends in full swing, but there was dead silence on the other side of the microphone, filled with a suffocating sense of tension.
"Boss, I think it's better for you to call the police. Although you have no evidence, your own life is more important than making a false alarm."
Heshan was telling the truth, but Chen Ge had his own considerations. Escape from the haunted house was a task assigned to him by Black Phone, requiring him to stay here for one night. But if the police intervened, the possibility of mission failure was very high. It was a pity to give up on unlocking a new horror scene: "It's not time to call the police yet."
"The most important thing now is your own safety. How about this?" Heshan paused and continued, "Turn on the location of your phone, and don't hang up the phone tonight. I will pay attention to your voice, and if there is any movement, I will call the police for you as soon as possible."
Keeping the call going is a good idea. Chen Ge looked at his phone. The short video page on it was still open, and an advertisement for recruiting PUBG anchors was scrolling.
Chen Ge's eyes lit up. Instead of staying on the phone, he came up with a more reliable idea: "I can start a live broadcast in the haunted house. If something happens to me, the viewers in the live broadcast room can help me call the police, and the video uploaded in the live broadcast room will also become the most powerful evidence. It would be better if everything is fine. I can also attract more attention through live broadcast and make my horror house famous."
A short video last night brought Chen Ge nearly a thousand fans. The next day, the number of visitors to the horror house increased several times, which made Chen Ge taste the sweetness.
Besides, his fundamental purpose of entering the haunted house is to obtain the task reward so that his haunted house can develop better. Starting the live broadcast can ensure his own safety while completing the task, and it can also attract traffic and increase fans. Why not do it?
"Even good wine needs to be hidden in a bush. I don't have the funds to advertise everywhere, but I can use live broadcasts and short videos to attract more people's attention."
What Chen Ge lacked were channels and accumulation, but as for the content, he was not worried at all.
Although the tone of the person from the previous studio was unpleasant, he was right about one thing. Modern people pursue faster entertainment and need stronger stimulation. Looking at the entire platform, is there any live broadcast more attractive and exciting than staying in a haunted house and gambling with murderers?
Traffic comes first, content is king. Compared with other anchors, Chen Ge has an advantage that none of them have.
Everything he filmed and experienced was real. There was no script and even he himself didn't know what would happen next.
He was completing the mission of the black phone, and the live broadcast was just a way to record everything.
"Heshan, I'm going to hang up now. Please come to my live broadcast room directly later. The room name is the ID of my short video personal homepage."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge turned on the positioning system of his mobile phone and set the one-touch dialing as the alarm call. After making all the preparations, he clicked on the live broadcast software in the background of the short video.
Short videos are usually only a dozen seconds long, and advertisements cannot be added. The means of profit are limited. In order to maximize the value of fans and maintain fan stickiness, many anchors will broadcast live when there are no new videos released.
Short videos are easy to forward and spread, and are used to create hot spots to attract people's attention. Then, live broadcasts full of personal characteristics are used to convert passers-by into fans. The two complement each other, and Chen Ge has accidentally found the most correct path.
"Spend the night in a haunted house! Explore the mystery in person! Reveal the unknown side of this world to you!" Chen Ge typed in the title and used several exclamation marks to make his live broadcast room look different.
In fact, he didn't need to do this extra work. The short video live broadcast software couldn't be compared with the professional live broadcast platform. There were few categories, and most of the titles were sexy and cute little sister healing chat, sweet goddess coaxing you to sleep, etc. Compared with others, Chen Ge was simply a huge mudslide, and it was hard not to attract other people's attention.
When the live broadcast starts, fans who follow his page will be notified, and there will also be announcements on his short video personal updates.
Within a few seconds, some netizens came in.
Heshan: "Boss, are you serious? Are you sure you want to broadcast this live?"
All scumbags must die: "You are the beast who posted the short video last night! I will fight you!"
"What the hell! What's going on upstairs? Tell me your story now."
I am a little caterpillar: "Beast anchor, I'm paying attention."
"Does anyone know what's being broadcast in this live room?"
"Can you please stop bothering us big shots and just read the notice yourself?"
As soon as Chen Ge started broadcasting, people who were waiting for his short videos to be updated started to show up, and his popularity was slowly growing.
"Everyone, I think you all misunderstood me." Chen Ge put down the multi-tool hammer in his hand and looked at the phone screen very seriously: "Yesterday's short video was not a joke, but my personal experience. You can search for the original video on some supernatural forums. I did not add any technical special effects. Everything is real. There is indeed something in the mirror. I know it is hard for you to believe, but I will reveal it to you bit by bit and let you see a completely different world."
"Hello, Yaoyaoling, what's the phone number of the Abnormal Human Research Center? I found a wild psychopath."
"I just like to watch you talk nonsense seriously."
"Li Ming! I know you are watching the live broadcast. Please bring me some cold noodles when you come back in the evening. No chili. Thank you!"
"Bed 11 in Room 3 of Toyama Psychiatric Hospital is cheering for the anchor! Support the re-employment of recovered patients!"
A few comments flashed across the screen, and no one believed what Chen Ge said. He was not angry either: "It doesn't matter if you think I'm a psychopath. I will prove it to you."
The heat and popularity were slowly increasing. Chen Ge looked at the increasingly dark night outside the window, lit a cigarette, and began to tell the viewers in the live broadcast room about the Fu'an Apartment murder case five years ago.
