Chapter 38
Lin Sheng was really a little shocked. He had never expected that a woman would take the initiative to propose it. He began to advise,
"Are you sure? Aren't you scared? If a ghost really attacks you, I won't be able to save you through the screen."
There was a look of determination in the woman's eyes.
"The ghost had already discovered me. Since he didn't attack me, he certainly wouldn't hurt me. I wanted to take a gamble. I had a vague feeling that there was some connection between the ghost and my husband's infidelity."
The woman was obviously convinced by the comments just now. Lin Sheng wanted to persuade her again, but was shut up by the woman's words.
"Master, I will protect myself and keep myself out of harm's way. I promise you, even if something does happen, I will never drag you down with me."
There was a firm look in his eyes, leaving no room for persuasion.
Lin Sheng no longer insisted, nodded silently, and said,
"If an emergency occurs, withdraw immediately without wasting a second."
Hearing this, the woman agreed.
With the dim light from the window, the woman groped her way forward in the darkness, walked slowly to the closet, found the small box hidden in the closet, opened it skillfully, and took out a key from it, which was exactly the same as the key her husband carried with him.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng frowned slightly and asked in a seemingly calm tone,
"Wasn't the key to the utility room taken away? Where did you get this one?"
The woman shook her head and answered honestly,
"I don't know where it came from. When I was cleaning my closet a few days ago, I suddenly found a box in the closet with the key inside."
"Your husband doesn't know about this key?"
"He doesn't know that his and my clothes are kept separately. The box is in my closet. He wouldn't touch my closet without permission. Maybe I had a pair of the same ones before and forgot about them after keeping them for too long."
Without saying anything more, the woman quietly pushed open the bedroom door, walking very slowly, for fear of making any noise that would alarm the little ghost.
Lightning flashed in the sky outside the window, and light flashed across the living room in an instant.
[Did something just move?!]
[The lightning is scary, and today's weather is just perfect for the scenery.]
[Could it be a ghost? Don't rush in and use your ultimate, use the barrage to protect yourself!]
The woman approached the storage room trembling with fear. Her footsteps were drowned in the darkness. There was no sound around her. If she listened carefully, her slightly rapid breathing could be clearly heard.
In the live broadcast room, the audience's hearts also felt nervous at the same moment, and the barrage fell silent again.
When the woman arrived at the door, a low whimper was heard from outside the camera.
Lin Sheng frowned slightly and immediately became alert, listening carefully to the words in the sobbing voice.
"Mom, Mom, don't go, don't open the door."
The earnest request was accompanied by low sobs. The child was very well-behaved. Even when she cried, her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. Just as Tang Ziyan said, this little girl was so well-behaved.
But the woman still ignored the child's words and turned the key in the keyhole despite the child's objection.
Everyone's breathing seemed to stop at this moment, and they stared at the screen of their mobile phones intently, afraid of missing any picture.
“Click.”
The door lock was opened, and the crying in Lin Sheng's ears stopped at this time. The child was no longer moving.
The door of the utility room was quietly opened. At first, there was only a crack, and the scene inside could not be seen clearly, but the faint candlelight reflected on the wall of the utility room was already visible. It was so quiet inside.
The door opened wide, and the live broadcast room followed the woman's perspective.
Two candle lamps burned in the darkness and flashed across the camera for a split second, making it difficult to see the actual scene.
But in the woman's eyes, behind the candle, there was a black and white photo frame. The face in the frame had a bright and unrestrained smile, and there was childishness between the eyebrows. The woman was sure at a glance that this was the real face of the little ghost.
The fear in her heart surged again, and the woman's body began to tremble. She didn't care about the camera at this time, and just wanted to find the connection between her husband's infidelity and the little ghost as soon as possible. She glanced at the utility room roughly, but did not see the little ghost. She bravely walked into the utility room tremblingly.
The camera in the live broadcast room was shaking, making it difficult to see the actual situation on the other side, but the steadily burning candlelight began to jump restlessly.
【!!! That candle flame seemed to flicker for a moment!】
[This is over! Big sis, can we get out now? I'm really scared now.]
[I’m not playing anymore. Someone, please tell me, this must be a script, right? Ugh. ]
Lin Sheng also caught this abnormality, but she also saw in a trance that behind the candlelight, there seemed to be a black and white photo, but unfortunately it was not clear and she could not see the face of the person in the photo clearly.
At this moment, the candle light suddenly went out.
[Get out! This is wrong!]
[It's so eerie. I feel like someone is approaching from behind. It's so scary.]
[Why did it suddenly go out?! The little ghost really came! ]
The woman's forward movement suddenly stopped, her heart instantly rising to her throat. She was too nervous to swallow, and the hairs on her body stood up. Her facial features became sharp, and she could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding environment.
Her spirits were stretched to the limit. A breeze blew from the windowless storage room, brushing across the woman's sweaty face, causing her whole body to tremble in an instant.
"Bang!"
There was a sudden noise in the corner, as if something was knocked over and fell heavily to the floor.
Everyone in the live broadcast room heard it clearly.
"Who! Who's there?"
The woman bravely shouted out, and then there was a moment of silence, in which the sound filled the air. Her heart slowly relaxed, and she tried to find some inner comfort for herself - but she just happened to fall down accidentally.
[Big sister, I beg you, please leave quickly. I’m afraid you’ll die in my phone.]
[Why isn't she leaving yet? The candles are out. Something must be wrong. Don't try to get yourself killed.]
[It is not scary if the candle goes out, but it is scary if it can be rekindled.]
Suddenly, the candle really rekindled.
The woman turned around suddenly and looked in the direction of the candle. Her heart was pounding, her palms were sweating, and her expression became extremely panicked. Her throat tightened, she took a deep breath, and stepped back towards the door.
The camera in the live broadcast room gradually moved out of the utility room, and the audience began to breathe a sigh of relief.
"ah!"
When everyone relaxed, a woman's scream was suddenly heard in the live broadcast room. The mobile phone fell from the woman's hand, and the camera began to flip around in disorder. The heart-wrenching scream filled the live broadcast room, making the audience's scalp numb.
A boundless fear came like a tide, and everyone in front of the screen felt as if they were personally in the scene. In just a short moment, many horrific scenes flashed through their minds like a kaleidoscope, arousing the deepest fear in people's hearts.
A strange face broke into the camera and appeared on the woman's screen. In the darkness, the candlelight reflected on this face, half bright and half dark. His face was serious, and his frown clearly expressed displeasure. He stared at the rapidly floating barrage of comments.
【There really is a ghost! 】
[Ghosts can't come out of phones and harm people, right? Oh my god, I'm scared.]
[It seems to be a male ghost, it's not small! ]
[After seeing the ghost's true appearance, he shouldn't be silenced, right? ]
As if it had been suppressed for a long time, the barrage of comments swept through the live broadcast room like a flood, dazzling people.
Lin Sheng frowned slightly, staring intently at the movement on the screen, and saw that the camera on the opposite side was turned so that it could only capture the ground.
The camera began to move, and a woman's panicked cry was heard outside the camera, but she didn't dare to say a word.
With a 'bang', the door of the utility room was closed again and locked with a click. The camera angle changed, and the living room appeared in the camera. The lights in the living room were also turned on. The camera swept across the floor, revealing a human figure. The mobile phone was placed on the table, and the "ghost" face appeared in the camera again.
[Huh? No, he has a shadow. Ghosts don't have shadows.]
[Could he be my eldest sister's husband? ? ]
[It's good that it's not a ghost, it's good that it's not a ghost, our lives are saved. ]
"I'm sorry to bother you all. This is just a misunderstanding. My wife has a bit of a mental problem. She's been confused lately and tends to confuse reality with TV dramas. I'm sorry everyone, this is just a misunderstanding today, please don't take it seriously."
With a few simple explanations, he simply covered up the woman's unusual behavior and prepared to end the broadcast.
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Sheng stopped him in time. If what happened just now could be summarized as the woman having mental problems, there were still many details that could not be explained.
"Can I ask you a few questions? Don't worry, I don't mean to force you to answer."
The person on the screen was obviously stunned for a moment, with a slightly unhappy expression on his face, but he did not refuse.
"Okay, what do you want to ask?"
"What's your name, please?"
"Chen Zhong."
"Okay, Mr. Chen. Your wife called the police today. Did you know about this?"
"I know. I installed surveillance cameras at home because I was worried about her being home alone."
"When did she start showing these symptoms?"
"Three months ago, I helped her quit her job so she could rest at home and I could support her on my own."
"She suspected you of cheating on her. Did you know about this?"
Chen Zhong raised his hands and rubbed his brows helplessly, looking somewhat embarrassed and revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
"I know. She's questioned me several times, and I've patiently answered her every time. But the next day, she forgets everything that happened the day before. I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."
There was a look of guilt on Chen Zhong's face, and the worry in his eyes didn't seem fake. He held the woman in his arms, patting her gently and coaxing her to sleep in a soft voice, with love flowing in his expression.
Lin Sheng continued to ask a few simple questions, but could not hear any flaws. Chen Zhong's answer was exactly the same as the woman's description. With no other choice, Lin Sheng had to give up for the time being, let Chen Zhong get off the microphone, and leave the live broadcast room.
[??? I was frightened into a foolish state just now, and now you tell me I was fooled by a fool?]
"Master, was everything that just happened fake? But the curtains were clearly tampered with. It couldn't have been blown up by the wind. And that candle, too."
"I don't believe it. There must be a ghost. I was so scared just now. It can't be a prank. Master, please say something."
Lin Sheng's mind was in a mess, but someone noticed the suspicious points first.
Am I the only one who noticed? There's a family photo on the living room wall, but why can't I see the little girl in it?
