Chapter 103
"Fortunately, the weather has been good these past few days, otherwise it would have been really cold at night."
The little anchor who spoke was called "Kuang Yiyi". She had a sweet appearance but a very casual personality. She used this contrast to attract the audience.
At this moment, she rubbed her arms without caring about her image and made faces, obviously feeling a little cold.
Mu Yuan added some fuel to the fire and said, "We've been busy all day and we're all tired. Let's rest early and explore the 'Forest of Death' tomorrow night. What do you think?"
Another anchor with small tiger teeth and a fresh and youthful appearance immediately raised his hand to agree, showing a slightly bitter expression.
This series of interactions filled the comments with joy.
[Brother Mu is so reliable, so suitable to be a boyfriend]
[Yiyi is so cute!] 】
[[User "Yangliu Yiyi" gave a car as a reward]]
[Master Qiao really lives up to his name of Young Master, hahahaha. I guess he has never suffered this kind of hardship.]
[I heard that Master Qiao came here because he made a bet with the audience that he dared to come to the supernatural live broadcast. He may be regretting it now, hahahaha]
At this time, Tiger-Tooth Rabbit also walked in from outside the wooden house. She had apparently taken her live broadcast audience to take a quick look at the "Forest of Death" at night to satisfy their fascination with the supernatural.
She closed the door, took out her sleeping bag, and calmly said to the live studio: "Although it looks scary, there are no dangerous creatures in this forest. Tomorrow night we will prove that everything that happened in the forest is just a fantasy made up by people's minds."
"That's right," Kuang Yiyi agreed, "but we need to rest tonight~"
"As usual, record at night and broadcast live the next day~!"
After saying these words, several people turned off the live broadcast.
Without the cameras, the expressions on their faces faded, revealing a bit of fatigue.
Mu Yuan, considering himself experienced, offered to guard the first half of the night. Master Qiao immediately said that as a boy in the team, he must share the burden for the girls, and took the right to guard the second half of the night.
Afterwards, the three of them did not waste any more time and went to bed one after another, while Mu Yuanze placed the camera and sat down to watch over the fire.
There were subtle, crackling sounds from the fire, and it was very quiet.
Mu Yuan has become accustomed to this kind of silence. In the past, he was used to doing live broadcasts of survival in the wild alone. Even if he couldn't keep watch all night, he could often persist for many days. He was very professional in this regard. Although he has to lead a few laymen now, many things can be divided up to lighten his burden.
There are only a few views of the wooden house, and there is really nothing to see. In order to alleviate his sleepiness, Mu Yuan adjusted his sitting posture and wanted to look out the window to appreciate the forest at night.
However, just this one glance made the blood in his body almost turn cold.
Outside the window, there was a strange human face clinging tightly to it!
The man's face was pale, his eyes were pitch black, and he was pressed tightly against the window. His eyes were facing Mu Yuan, as if... he was always staring at him!
Mu Yuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat because of this guess.
He could see clearly that this face had no volume. It was definitely not a simple humanoid creature with its head stuck to the window. It had no body at all!
So from the beginning until now, when he was unaware, how long had this face been looking at him?
Goosebumps spread up his arms.
The scariest thing is not the jump scare, but the realization belatedly that the most bizarre thing has always been around you.
Mu Yuan knew that he should yell loudly now, but any other sound would be fine, or he could move himself so that his body wouldn't be too stiff, giving him some space to react if the human face suddenly attacked.
But the more this happened, the more he could feel the fear and horror that penetrated deep into one's bones, as if one's body was frozen in place, when one was extremely frightened.
All this happened in just a short moment. Before Mu Yuan could recover from the blankness in his mind, he found that the face had suddenly disappeared.
But for Mu Yuan, this made him feel even more like he was falling into an ice cellar than the previous situation.
His sense of security was taken away almost instantly. He turned around in panic, trying to find the face he had just seen, but found nothing.
Mu Yuan wanted to wake up his three companions, but he found that he had overestimated his courage - in the situation just now where he really felt the strange presence, he didn't even dare to move casually, let alone make any sound to wake up his teammates.
The flame was still burning quietly. Mu Yuan, who was closest to the flame, should have felt warm, but he still felt a chill penetrating deep into his bones, which could not be stopped no matter what he did.
As time passed, everything seemed to calm down. Even Mu Yuan's tense muscles relaxed a little. He couldn't help but wonder if everything he had just seen was an illusion caused by being too tired and sleepy.
Mu Yuan thought, this is not impossible.
In fact, most of the time, some supernatural legends and phenomena are just illusions or hallucinations. He came here today with the supernatural anchor Huyatu. He was already exhausted physically and mentally, and he had to keep watch all night. This forest is known as the "death forest". After several influences, it was not surprising that he saw some weird things.
His expression relaxed and he glanced at the time on his watch, calculating how long it would take before he could wake up Young Master Qiao to take over the night watch.
At this moment, he keenly heard the sound of something rubbing against the ground.
"Squeak."
The sound was extremely small and only appeared for a moment, but it suddenly made Mu Yuan's nerves, which had just calmed down, tense up again, and his crown of the head took off.
The reason is simple——
That voice came from behind him!
But there was clearly only a wall behind him, so how could such a strange sound appear so close to him?
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and Mu Yuan's heart almost stopped beating at this moment. All his attention was uncontrollably focused on his back.
A hint of coldness came from behind him.
After a while, Mu Yuan couldn't hold on any longer and turned around stiffly, only to find that there was no one behind him.
Suddenly, a vibrating ringtone sounded, almost scaring the already frightened Mu Yuan to jump up. He turned his head and saw that it was Master Qiao's cell phone.
"Um...Brother Mu Yuan, let me keep watch."
Master Qiao reached out to turn off the alarm clock, and quickly recalled his mission for the night, speaking in a natural tone.
Mu Yuan looked at him deeply.
For some reason, this sight gave Young Master Qiao goosebumps. He felt a chill down his spine and asked with a stammer, "What, what happened?"
Why does it look like... it's like I've seen a ghost?
Thinking of the word "ghost", Master Qiao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt a little colder after just waking up.
"...It's okay." Mu Yuan didn't dare to say more nor did he want to say more. After all, deep down he still preferred to believe that there were no ghosts or gods in this world, and that everything was just his own illusion.
Coincidentally, Master Qiao did not encounter any strange incidents in the second half of the night. He was even bored and started making little figures on the ground with leaves.
When the sky brightened and the anchors woke up one after another, he immediately said as if he had been pardoned: "Standing by night is indeed a very, very boring thing. It is really great that Brother Mu can stand by by night like a mountain."
After hearing this, the two female anchors smiled and praised him for his ability, but Master Qiao noticed that there was something wrong with Mu Yuan's expression.
Thinking of the other party's weird look when he changed shifts last night, even though it was already light outside, Master Qiao still felt a layer of subtle chill all over his body.
Mu Yuan asked: "Did anything happen to you last night?"
Hearing this, Master Qiao lost all his ease on his face. He asked stiffly, "No...Brother Mu, why are you asking this? Could it be..."
At this time, Kuang Yiyi and Huya Rabbit had already started the live broadcast. After hearing this trend, the barrage of comments, which had been not very active due to the early time, erupted like a volcano.
What’s going on? 】
【! ! Did Mu Yuan encounter any supernatural events last night? Frog fun! 】
[It’s so exciting. Is it so exciting on the first night? ! 】
[Come on, let’s watch last night’s video!] 】
Tiger Tooth Rabbit raised her eyebrows, and her expression was also curious. She said, "It seems that only Brother Mu Yuan encountered an abnormal situation, and Master Qiao didn't find anything. But what is the truth? We can find the answer by watching the video."
Mu Yuan smiled at this time and said casually: "It may be my illusion. After all, I was a little tired yesterday."
The comments on the forums all expressed their understanding, but they preferred to have fun and were very curious about what happened that night.
[It would be interesting if the videotape couldn’t show the picture]
[Don’t worry, if the picture really doesn’t come out, I suspect it’s the host directing and acting it himself]
【A bunch of expectations】
Of course, the anchors would not ignore the comments. Mu Yuan picked up the camera, and several people watched the video recorded last night together.
In the video, everything seems normal at the beginning, even a little boring. Mu Yuan, who was keeping watch calmly, seemed more reliable. His actions of checking the fire from time to time also showed that he was very adept at it.
Mu Yuan didn't care about this scene that could attract fans and sped up the progress of the video.
Soon, the man in the picture seemed a little bored, he raised his head and looked out the window.
At this moment, everyone noticed that he seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen. His pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body tensed up visibly. He stared in that direction without moving, like a sculpture without a soul.
【! ! What did he see? ! 】
[Oh my god, this is so scary! There can’t be such a thing! 】
[Calm down, Mu Yuan also said it might be an illusion]
[If this can be acted, then his acting skills are really superb... This is completely an instinctive physiological reaction of being scared, so what on earth is there? ! 】
Young Master Qiao, who was also on night watch, was probably the one who could empathize the most. Watching Mu Yuan's performance in the video, he swallowed involuntarily and felt a chill down his spine.
I'll be on guard for the rest of the night, right?
In such a dull and tense situation, the tiger-toothed rabbit, who had seen a lot of things, comforted him: "Don't worry, no matter how horrible the situation is, it has a reason. Believe me, no matter what you saw, it must be just a misunderstanding."
Mu Yuan nodded silently.
In fact, the video he wanted to watch was not this one.
As the progress quickened, the video soon reached the time when he had calmed down his mind.
The recording of Mu Yuan's night watch is coming to an end. If there is nothing unusual in this part, he can proceed with the next wild survival with peace of mind.
However, the next moment, he froze in place, unable to move at all.
Apart from him, the expressions on the faces of the three anchors who were watching the video were all paused by me, and they suddenly lost all color.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
[It’s so scary, so scary! Help me, I don’t dare to watch it anymore! ! 】
[Save me, save me, save me——]
...When the "hiss" sound was heard, a pair of feet appeared silently behind him. They obviously did not belong to him, nor to Young Master Qiao, nor to any of them.
