Chapter 036 Chapter 36

After the antique dealer appeared, the scene fell into silence. Guan Haoguang naturally knew Bai Yixin, but the others present were seeing him for the first time.

To those who had never seen Bai Yixin, it was just a sudden appearance of someone who did not look like a climber at all. They did not immediately connect the man with the mirror.

"Who are you?" Qin Yi asked.

"Let me introduce myself." Bai Yixin stood up straight with a smile on his face. Although his posture was very upright, his slightly raised chin still revealed a bit of his arrogance. "I am an antique dealer, Bai Yixin. You can call me Mr. Bai."

Everyone showed a look of shock.

"Antique...dealer?" Li Wen's eyes widened. "You are the one mentioned in the previous live broadcast..."

Before he could finish his words, the baby ghost on the ground dropped the mirror it had been chewing on and rushed towards Bai Yixin babbling.

The mixed-race man still had a smile on his face. He gently raised his cane and struck the ghost baby down with it after it crawled under his feet. The ghost baby screamed and disappeared.

The ghost baby that everyone didn't know how to deal with was killed by the antique dealer with just a light blow.

Looking at the female corpse again, after the ghost baby disappeared, the slightly bulging belly of the female corpse began to rot, and quickly spread to the whole body, eventually turning into dry bones. Within a few seconds, the dry bones gradually turned into dust and disappeared.

This change can't help but make people speculate that the ghost baby and the female corpse actually have some special connection.

But none of that matters now.

"You just said you saw a wonderful show." Qin Yi asked, "Have you been watching it?"

"Yes, I'm watching. I've been watching since the strange things happened in this temple." Bai Yixin waved his hand, and the mirror lying on the ground fell into the man's palm.

Bai Yixin checked the mirror in his hand and said with regret, "It's completely broken. What a pity."

Guan Haoguang slowly stood up and asked, "What exactly is this mirror you sold me?"

Bai Yixin looked at Guan Haoguang quietly. His indifferent eyes made Guan Haoguang's back numb. Just when he thought the man would not answer, Bai Yixin said, "This is a monster. After the monster revives, some objects will undergo mutations. The more ancient history and stories a thing has, the more likely it is to mutate and become a monster."

"Then why did you sell it to me..."

"There is no special purpose. Besides, I didn't sell it to you. You chose to take it away." Bai Yixin put away the broken mirror. "I just like to observe. I am curious about what kind of stories will happen to humans who hold strange objects when they face strange things. Observation is my interest."

"Because of you, I saw a lot of interesting things." Bai Yixin said with a smile, "No need to pay cash, I am very happy, it is enough."

Seeing that Bai Yixin was about to leave, Qin Yi hurriedly asked, "Are you weird too?"

Bai Yixin stopped and turned to look at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi continued to ask: "If so, are there many weird people like you? What exactly is weird? Are there many different kinds of weirdness? Some of the ones I met before were impossible to communicate with, and some..."

"You have so many questions." Bai Yixin frowned slightly, but soon he relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "However, since you make me happy, I will tell you a little bit. There are indeed many types of weirdness, and they are also divided into levels. The ones you encountered this time are all relatively low-level weirdness. Their characteristics are rigid rules and weak lethality. In addition, there are advanced ones, which are more flexible in thinking and action. Above that, there are people like me."

Qin Yi swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, what about something higher? Are there any?"

Bai Yixin smiled and looked up at the live camera: "Yes, isn't it right here, always spying on everyone, that evil-minded guy."

The comment section of the live broadcast platform was once again in chaos.

【He’s looking at me!!!】

[Bullshit, he was watching the live camera!!]

[Sure enough, the weird live broadcast itself is a powerful weirdness! 】

[What kind of weirdness is this? Is it...network weirdness?]

[It doesn’t matter what type it is, it’s awesome anyway. ]

[My computer is currently forced to play a weird live broadcast interface. If this live broadcast itself is a particularly powerful weirdness, that is to say...]

[Ah! ! Don’t think about it anymore! ]

[There is something weird on my computer!!!]

[I told you not to mention it! I’m scared!]

[Haha, didn't I guess this a long time ago? Why are you panicking?]

[Yes, no matter if it is weird or not, there is no way to catch it, and you can't find it. You can only accept it when you encounter it. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't want to die. Isn't it just forcing the live broadcast interface? If you really don't want to watch it, cover the laptop screen or turn off the power of the computer. The screen will be black and you can't see it. ]

[But why, why do we have to watch the live broadcast? 】

[Who knows? This is a weird hobby. It's hard to say what people like. People have all kinds of hobbies. The weird ones are probably even weirder.]

[The antique dealer's interest is to observe the person who gets the strange object. So the live broadcaster's interest is to share the live broadcast with us while he observes himself, and then observe our expressions? ]

[That is to say, while we are staring at the live broadcast interface in horror, something invisible and strange is also watching our every move, perhaps right behind us...]

【Someone come and mute that idiot above! 】

【I took off my pants right then and there.】

[You...are you being rude to Qiayi? ]

【I respect you as a man. 】

Bai Yixin looked up at the sky. Qin Yi and the others looked in the direction of his gaze, but saw nothing.

Qin Yi immediately understood: "You mean the weird live broadcast? Is that weird too?"

"What else?" Bai Yixin asked back.

Qin Yi was speechless after being told this. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. The person who could broadcast something weird live could not be a person with excellent hacking skills. It would make sense that he was a powerful weirdo himself.

It even has the ability to isolate space like a ghost wall, so forcing people to watch live broadcasts is no big deal.

Qin Yi: "Do you know you are being broadcast live?"

"You can roughly feel it, that feeling of being spied on." Bai Yixin added with a bit of amusement, "Of course there are some idiots who don't notice it."

Qin Yi was silent. He suspected that Bai Yi had some hidden agenda. There were only two weird people being broadcast live at present, so... was it the weird-smiling man who was broadcast live for the first time? Was he the one who didn't know? Maybe the weird little girl didn't know either. Did this mean that the antique dealer in front of him was better than all of them? Qin Yi was silent, and his mind was in a storm.

"Aren't you angry that you were broadcast live?" Lu Ren, who had been listening, couldn't help but ask.

"In this weird world, the strong prey on the weak." Bai Yixin didn't care. "As a weak person, there's nothing I can say."

"It's almost time. I have an appointment, let's meet again sometime."

After saying that, he walked down the mountain. Qin Yi came to his senses and wanted to chase him, but when he looked up again, there was no one on the way down the mountain.

"Gone." Qin Yi said in a low voice.

Jing Qin's legs went limp and she sat paralyzed on the ground: "Are we really saved this time?"

"There's still no signal on the phone," someone said.

Guan Haoguang came to his senses and remembered the person who fell from the observation deck: "Save him first! That uncle is still down there!"

"…Gone." Jing Qin frowned. She didn't want to go, mainly because she didn't want to see the corpse again.

It's been a while since the old man fell down, and there's been no sound for help, and no one has been seen. He's probably dead.

So why don't we hand over the follow-up matters to the scenic area manager? They are more familiar with this place.

Jing Qin didn't want to go, and no one forced her. Everyone was exhausted, some were injured, and it only took a few people to find someone. Lu Ren and Guan Haoguang slowly walked down the hillside, holding onto a tree, calling for help as they walked.

They didn't know the middle-aged man's name, so they could only call him uncle.

Of course, the result was already determined, and it was impossible to find it. Because from the beginning, the middle-aged uncle was not a real person, but a high-level NPC created temporarily and controlled by the faceless boy. When everyone was at a loss as to what to do, he was responsible for "advancing the plot", that's all.

At the same time, on the way down the mountain, at a temporary rest stop closest to the haunted wall area, more than a hundred tourists gathered.

These 100-odd people were only a small part of the tourists trapped here, but they chose to leave the mountain as soon as possible. After finding that they could not leave, they occupied this rest area. Using the temporary rest area as a base, they excluded subsequent tourists and even monopolized this section of the mountain road, which was like a gang of gangs occupying the mountain as the king in the end times.

If the light of humanity is shining on the observation deck, then here is where the malice of humanity is fermenting.

Young and strong tourists gathered together to form a small group, excluding all the weak ones from the rest area. As time passed, the despair of not knowing when they could be rescued spread in everyone's hearts, and many people became impatient. On the observation deck, Qin Yi and Lu Ren and their group fought with several strange people, and several disputes also occurred here. The people on the observation deck fought with the strange people for their lives and saved each other. The people at the rest area swore at each other, and even fought with fists at the slightest friction, hitting each other with cuckold fists and bleeding heads.

We are all human beings, but we are in different worlds.

After the antique dealers on the observation deck left, the live camera cut away from them and switched to filming this side.

Just as we were at the rest stop, two men had an argument over the order of going to the restroom, which escalated into a physical attack. It just so happened that the two men who were arguing were both hiking with their companions, and both sides were hot-tempered young men. The quarrel between the two men turned into a conflict between the two groups. One of them grabbed the other's collar first, and the anger that had been buried exploded in an instant, and the two groups fought each other.

No one tried to persuade them. Everyone was worried about their own life and death and didn't care about other people's disputes.

The common attitude of people here is to stay out of it and not get involved.

The two groups of people were fighting fiercely, but they forgot that this was a rest area on the mountain. It was only a temporary rest area for tourists and there was no area as large as the observation deck. Except for the proper mountain road and the rest area, the rest was a mountain with a slope. Fighting here was very dangerous.

Soon a man fell to the ground, but the others didn't notice him. They continued to crowd forward and the fighters continued to fight.

The man tried to get up frantically, but was knocked down again before he could stand firmly. Fearing that he would be trampled, the man frantically crawled out of the crowd. During the process, his fingers were stepped on several times, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.

He was lucky because he managed to crawl to a deserted place alive. When he stood up and turned around, he was met with a smirking face.

The man's heart skipped a beat, and the next second, he knew nothing.

The floating little paper figure landed in the palm of the smirking man's hand. The paper figure in white standing at the edge of the crowd spoke up, "People are always stupid, am I right?"

Behind him, Bai Yixin smiled and shrugged: "I have already given you the things. What happens next has nothing to do with me."

"I know."

Bai Yixin: "Well, goodbye." The gentleman disappeared.

The white clothes of the paper man gradually turned black and red, the whites of his eyes also turned black, and his pupils turned scarlet, turning into a weird appearance. He stared at the crowd in front of him: "The hunt begins~"
