Chapter 014 Chapter 14

Live streaming is on.

【I go and come again? 】

[This is the third time. Is the weird brother taking action again? ]

[I was actually pulled in! Is this the legendary live broadcast? ]

[Again, it’s a deep forest. The next scene will be a cemetery.]

[So scared.]

【There are people, seven people! 】

[Is this a mountain climbing team? ]

[Is it a balanced market or a market-following market this time? 】

[A mountaineering team? Their equipment looks amateurish. By the way, the news reported that seven people lost contact on Mount Sangmi. Is that them?]

[Sangmi Mountain? I'm from Beijing, and I've never heard of Sangmi Mountain. Does anyone know where it is? ]

[At the junction of Sui City and Heng City. It's strange that they are focusing on these two places. There is no news about the antique dealer, but there has been a recent antique fever. The three people last time were not released. ]

[Are these people going to become paper mache figures too? ]

[Something’s wrong. Did you hear the song? ]

[I heard it, the sound is getting louder and louder, it's the sound of children singing, is there a village near Sangmi Mountain? ]

[There is a haunted village. Thirty years ago, the only village here moved away, and there is no living person within dozens of miles.]

[Where did that singing voice come from? The funny guy before never sang before.]

[Maybe, a new weirdness? ]

【It's really weird and complicated. 】

The audience in the live broadcast was very worried, but the few people on the mountain were not that scared. They didn't know they were on a weird live broadcast, and some of them even thought this was a scientific world.

"There must be other tourists." The young man said, "They brought their children with them to climb mountains in this place."

Qi Liuhai: "Aren't they villagers from around here?"

The bearded man said, "There is only one village nearby, and the entire village moved away more than 30 years ago. No one lives here anymore."

Qi Liuhai waved his hand nonchalantly: "They must be other climbers. Let's go quickly. They must know the way down the mountain. I don't want to stay here anymore. I don't want to look for meteorites. There are no meteorites at all. There are too many mosquitoes here. I want to go home."

Then only her boyfriend responded to her, while everyone else looked vigilantly in the direction of the source of the nursery rhyme and did not take any action without authorization.

Anyway, it was a bit weird to meet a girl singing nursery rhymes here. The most important thing was that apart from the voice of this nursery rhyme, no other people's voices were heard.

If it was a family that brought their children to climb the mountain, why didn't the children's parents say a word?

It was so quiet, as if the parents didn't even exist.

Qi Liuhai didn't care about that. Seeing that no one else responded to her, she ignored them. They were just strangers who happened to take the same car. She pulled her boyfriend and walked over there, waving her hands.

"Hey - we are lost, please help us!" The young man and woman walked into the bushes.

Watching them leave, Bai Manman swallowed and looked at reporter Jin with an inquiring look.

However, reporter Jin slowly put her hand on the camera hanging around her neck. Her intuition from years of being a reporter told her that there was something worth photographing.

I don't know if it was because the young man and woman had passed by, but the nursery rhymes stopped and I could faintly hear Qi Liuhai talking, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. But half a minute later, a scream echoed through the sky, and the echo startled a flock of flying birds, which made a fluttering sound in the air.

The atmosphere became even more bizarre.

The two young man and woman ran back in a panic. Qi Liuhai tripped over a branch and fell when rushing out of the bushes, but her boyfriend rushed forward without even looking back and disappeared in a moment.

Qi Liuhai burst into tears in anger.

"What happened?" Bai Manman walked forward and wanted to help her up.

Qi Liuhai shook her head violently, too frightened to speak, and pointed behind herself with trembling hands.

Then, Qi Liuhai found that Bai Manman's body froze, and the other people present gradually showed expressions of fear.

Qi Liuhai realized something. She turned around slowly and saw the little girl in the red dress standing behind her. The only feature on her face that could be called a facial feature was her mouth, which slowly rose up in a smile.

"Ah——" Qi Liuhai finally couldn't hold on any longer, screamed and fainted.

As the faceless child appeared in front of the camera, the live broadcast was flooded with comments.

[Oh my god, this one is much scarier than the previous one. ]

[Ah——No face! ]

【I have a mouth.】

[That's called a mouth? That counts as a mouth? Have you ever seen anyone with a mouth that's split all the way to the side of the face? And there's no lip, it's just a cut! ]

【At least there are teeth.】

[Haha, shark teeth, right?]

[Damn, she's about the same age as my daughter. My daughter was also wearing a red dress. I turned around and saw my daughter and was almost scared to death!]

[Red hairpins, red skirts, red shoes, I'm afraid these items will be hard to sell in the future. ]

[Not necessarily. Maybe someone deliberately dressed like this after watching the live broadcast.]

[Has the rescue team gone up the mountain? ]

[We have already gone up the mountain, because we don’t know where these people got lost, and we are still looking for them. ]

[Quick, tell the rescue team, there is something weird here! ]

「That……」

【What? 】

[It seems the rescue team has also lost contact. ]

【ah?】

[Not long after we went in, they said a gray fog appeared on the mountain, and then we couldn’t get in touch with them.]

【Pills.】

Bai Manman looked at the Faceless Child standing in front of her in horror. She was too scared to move and could only half-squat there, trying to lift up Qi Liuhai.

There were a few clicks; that was the sound of reporter Jin taking pictures.

Bai Manman finally came to her senses, not caring about her bangs, and turned around to run. As a result, she turned around and met the faceless child. The little girl in the red dress came behind her without knowing when, floating in the air, and her face was almost close to Bai Manman's nose, which frightened Bai Manman so much that she dared not breathe.

Others did not dare to move and just stood there stiffly.

"My ball is missing." The faceless boy said with a smile, "Did you see it, big sister?"

Bai Manman shook her head quickly, tears streaming down her face.

"So big, and so round." The Faceless Child gestured with his hands, "Just like my sister's head."

Bai Manman: Ah——

Seeing the little hand of the girl in the red dress reaching out to her, as if to use her head as a ball, Bai Manman took a step back and prepared to run away.

The trees behind her rustled, and before Bai Manman could run away, a man emerged from the trees behind her. It was the young man who had already run away. He was tripped by his fallen girlfriend Qi Liuhai and fell to the ground with a thud.

The faceless boy stopped extending his hand and turned to look at the young man.

The man who rushed out looked up and saw Bai Manman and reporter Jin, and was startled. Then he saw the faceless child floating in the air, and screamed. The man in the black vest next to him covered his mouth impatiently and dragged him over.

Perhaps because he saw that the Faceless Boy didn't move, the young man calmed down a little, but he was still shivering like a chick in winter.

"Didn't you run away?" asked Black Vest No. 1.

"I... I ran, in a straight line..." the man pointed ahead.

But for some reason, he returned to the starting point in the opposite direction.

"It's like a ghost wall. It looks like running is useless." Reporter Jin said, but she didn't look afraid. Instead, she looked a little excited. "It turns out that weird things really exist, and there's also that weird live broadcast. Hmm? Will we be on the live broadcast?"

[I guessed it right, you are on live broadcast.] A comment was swiped past.

"It's a pity there is no signal here." Reporter Jin said regretfully while fiddling with his mobile phone.

Otherwise she would check the news on the Internet.

"Hey, have you seen my ball?" The Faceless Boy looked at the others.

No one dared to answer her except reporter Jin.

All I can say is that as a female reporter working on the mystery section of a magazine, and going to all kinds of strange places every day, she is very courageous. She asked curiously, "We didn't see your ball. Do you want us to find it for you?"

Bai Manman was almost frightened by her courage.

The others also looked at the Faceless Child warily, waiting for her answer.

"Well... I just want to play." The faceless boy opened his mouth, revealing his fine teeth. "I like playing with balls, and I also like playing hide-and-seek. You can play hide-and-seek with me, or give me a ball."

"Any ball will do. I want a big, bright red ball like this." The Faceless Boy said with a smile, gesticulating.

"One is enough." The weird little girl's words were full of hints.

Even a stupid person would understand what she meant at this moment.

She just wanted a ball. It didn't matter what kind of ball it was, as long as it was something spherical that she could play with. Even if the ball was made of a human head...

The emphasis is on the number of just one, so, among the seven people present, only one needs to die.

Except for Qi Liuhai who fainted, everyone else looked at the people around them with vigilance.

"Can we play hide and seek?" asked the bearded man.

They haven't reached the end of their rope yet, so killing others and running away is not an option they can consider for now.

Especially now when they might be on a weird live stream.

No one wants to be labeled a bad guy so quickly, and generally speaking, the first guy who suggests killing someone will be the first victim.

"Okay~" The faceless boy smiled and floated in front of the bearded man, tilting his head 90 degrees to stare at the man, "I just want to play."

"But, if you lose the game, you will be punished." The faceless child clapped his hands and hummed, "Eyes, tongue, ears and nails~~~hair, shoes, pants and belt~~the loser has to give me something."

Everyone tensed up when they heard the first few items, but when they heard the last few items, they looked at their bags and clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What if we win?" asked reporter Kim.

The faceless boy suddenly appeared in front of reporter Jin, with his mouth wide open: "What do you want?"

Caught off guard by a huge mouth pressing against his face, reporter Jin was sweating, but he still insisted, "Take us down the mountain to that wide road."

The faceless boy laughed and pursed his lips: "Sure~~"

"As long as you can win."
