It's unclear whether the creature was scared off by the black dog blood or simply didn't expect Cen Yu to be completely unafraid.
Then the icy hand slowly disappeared from Cen Yu's neck... Cen Yu squatted down, glanced at his assistant, and reached out to check his breath.
“...The person is still alive,” Cen Yu said.
As the scumbag male lead in a horror short BL novel, Cen Yu's portrayal of this character is quite refreshing and unconventional.
Just like in the previous book, everyone was rich, so Cen Yu was a stingy guy from a poor background.
After arriving in this short horror story, Cen Yu's current character setting is—
The only one in the whole book who doesn't believe in superstition.
A staunch atheist, he firmly believed that no matter how strange or unusual things happened, they could all be explained by science.
Although no one was watching him at the moment, Cen Yu still remembered his atheist persona, so he coughed—
"It seems there's something wrong with the magnetic field of this villa. Those people were hallucinating and scared themselves to death."
As for why all the people who died of fright were hanged, Cen Yu made a bold guess.
"I think a thief has broken in."
After saying this line, Cen Yu looked at the fat cat speechlessly, wondering if he was an idiot or if the person who wrote the character was an idiot.
Because his phone had just fallen to the ground, Cen Yu picked it up and found that the screen was fine. So he turned on the flashlight and the front-facing camera at the same time...
In the phone screen captured by the front-facing camera, several crouching shadows appeared in the corner of the living room—
"tramp."
Cen Yu nodded, looking at the figure and concluding, "A homeless person with nowhere to live."
"The homeless": ...?
However, the thing that was choking him, although not with much force, still left a clear mark on Cen Yu's neck, whether because of too much force or something else. In the footage shown on camera, it was almost as if Cen Yu had been hanged.
“I’ve saved some money,” Cen Yu muttered to herself. “Makeup is quite expensive.”
He noticed that his assistant was still unconscious.
The only option was to forcefully lift the other person to a place out of the camera's view in the living room. When Cen Yu caught a glimpse of those "homeless people" out of the corner of his eye, he remained expressionless and didn't even glance in that direction.
Just kidding, what if these people come and ask him for money?!
Perhaps it was because of the power of the black dog blood, or perhaps because these "homeless people" really didn't have much malice, but after watching Cen Yu move his assistant into the living room, they even made room for him.
Cen Yu: "..."
Pretend you didn't see it.
He glanced at his assistant, whose eyes were closed and who probably wouldn't wake up anytime soon, and stuffed a few talismans that Pei Hengjun had insisted he wear out of concern into his pocket and put them into the assistant's pocket.
Then they returned to the place where they had just filmed the scene of the hanged man.
They also moved the mannequin that the assistant had hung up beforehand outside. Since there was nowhere else to put it, they simply placed it on the empty ground next to the assistant.
After finishing all that, Cen Yu splashed some more black dog blood on himself, grabbed a few talismans, and sat down heavily on the ground. He then reopened the live stream and, panting, said to the viewers—
"It's okay, guys."
"I've already subdued that thing."
He pointed to the marks on his neck, "Look, these are from the fight just now."
After the live stream resumed—
【Holy crap!! What happened? Did something really happen? Ahhhhh, I'm so scared! I need to go pray!】
[Holy crap, streamer, please don't get hurt! Does anyone know where the streamer is?]
[Hilarious! Calm down, this is just Cen Gou's usual comedic timing. You actually believed that thing to be real?]
[Xiao Le, come out! Stop hiding! I know you were the one who hung those things up in the first place!]
Xiao Le is the name of Cen Yu's assistant. Because he occasionally appears on camera, his viewers in the live stream all know him.
Cen Yu didn't care. He glanced at the people who had suddenly flooded into the live stream because of the abrupt interruption, and simply changed the title of the live stream—
Haunted Villa?! Online Exorcism!
Then I took out my phone and started taking pictures of the rope above my head.
"See that?" he pointed to the rope. "That thing was right here."
[I saw it, I saw it, you haven't even removed the label yet.]
"..." Cen Yu looked up and examined the rope carefully. Sure enough, he saw the plastic label that hadn't been torn off at the end of the rope.
This assistant seems even less reliable than him!
Cen Yu pretended not to see it, pointing to the broken window glass, "I just saw this thing, and he immediately wrote my name on it to scare me!"
He pointed to the blood-written words on the glass.
"I'm not lying about that."
"Who do you think would know my name?"
【Your assistant and yourself, what else?】
[Dude, can you buy some good quality paint? I'll be heartbroken if it fades. (Clown)]
【How can you say that?! I just saw its face!! It was terrifying!】
[Supporting Xiao Cen, you're the best! (heart)]
[Xiao Cen is good-looking and skilled, we all love watching her (flower)]
[Cen Yu didn't pay enough, the online trolls he hired are talking nonsense (clown) (clown)]
Cen Yu glanced at the number of viewers in the live stream. At 2 a.m., the number of viewers had already exceeded 30,000—a huge number for Cen Yu, who usually only had 3,000 to 4,000 viewers when he streamed at midnight.
Of course, part of the reason they were drawn in was because of the gifts that "Xiaoyu" gave them.
With the addition of Cen Yu's altered title, this villa has become a must-visit spot for outdoor adventure streamers, attracting curious onlookers.
Cen Yu glanced at the comments section, wondering if Xiao Yu had said anything.
But after the person swiped the card and was allowed into the villa, they disappeared... Did they run into a tycoon?
As Cen Yu watched the number of people and gifts increase, and pondered whether he should stop while he was ahead, a scream suddenly erupted from the living room—
"A ghost!!!"
The voice sounds like his assistant, Xiao Le.
Before Cen Yu could figure out what the other person had seen, Xiao Le rushed to his side, shouting, "Brother, brother, brother!!!! There's a ghost in the living room!!!!"
"She's lying right next to me!!!!"
"..." Cen Yu thought about what that thing was.
Looking at Xiao Le with mixed feelings, he even suspected that she was deliberately creating this for the sake of the show.
And the comments section became lively again—
Go take a look.
[Hurry up, streamer!]
"..." What are you going to see? To see mannequins?
Cen Yu was speechless, but could only point the camera at the living room sofa and move his lips towards Xiao Le, making a sound that would absolutely not be heard in the live stream—
"You're afraid of mannequins?!"
Xiao Le immediately wore a bitter expression, "I didn't know I bought that dummy?!"
"Holy crap, Brother Cen, it's not a dummy!!"
He trembled and hid behind Cen Yu, pleading, "Go and see!!!"
