Chapter 150, Chapter 6: The Cat Master in a Rich Family Novel
Yu Wanwan's ears twitched, and she lifted her eyelids to look over.
Live stream? Monster hunting?
What kind of weird thing is he planning to do now?
Xu Qingzhou smiled and scratched her chin, then sighed softly.
His Xiao Wan could clearly transmit her voice, but she would only ignore him when absolutely necessary.
I always see myself as an ordinary cat.
But what else could he do but play dumb and cooperate?
If you expose her, she'll get angry and ignore you, and might even scratch you a few times.
Shaking his head, Xu Qingzhou turned on his computer, brought up a map software, and marked the high-incidence areas mentioned in Xu Mingjing's email one by one.
“We can plan a live-stream series themed around taking cats on adventures, ostensibly to find filming material and satisfy the audience’s curiosity.”
He spoke while observing Yu Wanwan's reaction.
Seeing that she merely flicked her tail lazily, giving him an indifferent and perfunctory look, the smile in his eyes deepened.
"Actually, we're taking this opportunity to eliminate these threats, and incidentally... let those who need to see this see it, so they can find us as soon as possible."
Yu Wanwan narrowed her eyes and instantly understood his intention.
He was using himself as bait to draw the vampires' firepower to himself, giving the others some breathing room.
At the same time, live streaming can be used to spread methods for dealing with vampires, enabling more people to protect themselves.
Perhaps, it might even attract the attention of those in higher positions?
Yu Wanwan pondered for a few seconds, then stretched out her paw and tapped the back of his hand with her soft paw pad.
"Meow."
Fine, anyway, she'll cover for me, I can't get out of this mess.
At worst...
He'll be kicked by Heaven's will again.
Of course, this is on the premise that the Way of Heaven possesses wisdom.
Xu Qingzhou took her little hand in his own and gently squeezed it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Juanjuan!"
Yu Wanwan immediately withdrew her paw, rubbed it against his trouser leg in disgust, and then tucked her paw back under her fur.
She turned her head away, leaving him with only the arrogant back of her head.
The tip of its tail involuntarily wrapped around his wrist.
Xu Qingzhou chuckled a few times, stopped teasing her, and began to seriously plan the live broadcast.
A few days later, Xu Qingzhou's account released a preview of a new series of live streams.
[Late-night mystery! Taking Juanjuan to challenge the most eerie abandoned factory on the internet! We hear there are strange noises and shadows there at night!]
The trailer immediately went viral in the comments section.
Many people mocked him in the comments, criticizing him for trying to ride the wave of a social hot topic and for resorting to any means to become famous.
But most of the concerns are from Curly the kitten's fans.
Xu Qingzhou didn't reply, whether it was good or bad.
On the day of the live broadcast, Xu Qingzhou arrived at the abandoned factory in the west of the city on time, carrying his equipment and a cat carrier.
He arrived at around 5 p.m., before the sun had set.
After glancing at the desolate factory area, I found a place to sit down, took out my phone, and started a live stream.
As soon as the live stream started, its popularity soared.
[Wow! The streamer actually came!]
[Are you scared, little Juanjuan?]
[Ahhh, such an adorable cat! How could you bring it to a place like this, streamer?!]
[This place looks really creepy, streamer, please be careful!]
[What?! The streamer is live but still not showing their face? Thumbs down!]
Xu Qingzhou used the rear-facing camera so that viewers could see the factory clearly.
He glanced at the comments scrolling across the screen and chuckled softly.
"Hello everyone, I'm Juanjuan's cat lover. I heard that eerie shadows only appear here at night. It's 5:30 now, and it will be dark in about two more hours. In this time, everyone should go to the toilet if they need to, or go eat if they need to!"
A string of question marks floated across the screen.
Xu Qingzhou ignored it, put his phone aside, took a bag of dried cod from his bag, and began feeding Yu Wanwan.
Yu Wanwan glanced at the camera lens, but ignored it, and lowered her head to enjoy her pre-workout refreshment with composure.
Two hours is neither a long nor a short time.
As viewers virtually cuddled the cat, the sky gradually darkened.
Xu Qingzhou put away the delicious food, picked up his phone again, and glanced at Yu Wanwan.
"Alright, it's getting dark. Let's begin our adventure!"
In fact, Xu Qingzhou didn't know where the vampires would appear either.
Fortunately, Yu Wanwan was able to notice.
The calico cat led the way, and Xu Qingzhou, with his phone strapped to his body, followed behind her, moving slowly.
As for the comments on the screen, Xu Qingzhou no longer pays attention to them.
A cat and a person, guided by the light of a flashlight, gradually ventured deeper into the abandoned factory.
The further you go in, the dimmer the light becomes, and the stronger the smell of decay and rust grows.
Xu Qingzhou was alright, but Yu Wanwan could faintly smell the lingering stench of blood in the air.
The unpleasant smell made her somewhat agitated.
The beam of the flashlight swayed in the huge, empty workshop, casting long, distorted shadows.
Xu Qingzhou seemed to have stepped on something hard and brittle.
As he subconsciously lowered his head, the camera fixed to his chest also moved down.
A piece of animal bone, gnawed clean, suddenly appeared on the screen.
High-definition video, without the slightest warning.
[Holy crap!]
[Aaaaaaah, bones!]
[Bullet screen protection! Demons and monsters, get out of here!!!]
Xu Qingzhou paused for a moment, then calmly moved the camera away.
Just then.
Yu Wanwan suddenly let out a sharp meow.
His hair stood on end, he was hunched over, and stared intently at a dark corner filled with abandoned machinery.
Almost simultaneously, a sickening swallowing sound came from that direction.
Xu Qingzhou reacted extremely quickly, immediately shining the beam of his flashlight in the direction of the object.
Under the light, even things hidden in the corners have nowhere to hide.
Two ugly humanoid creatures with grayish-white skin, blood-red eyes, and dark red liquid hanging from the corners of their mouths came into view.
They were lying on top of a person whose life or death was unknown.
Illuminated by the bright light, they instinctively looked up, revealing their ferocious faces and sharp teeth to the camera.
[Holy crap!]
[What the hell is this thing?!]
[Zombies? Vampires? They can't possibly be human!!!]
[Ahhh, streamer, run!]
[It's true! The attack is real!]
[Who lives in the same city as the streamer? Call the police!]
The viewers in the live stream went completely crazy, and the number of viewers skyrocketed.
The two low-level vampires were enraged by the light, or perhaps they smelled the scent of fresh blood.
With a roar, it pounced on all fours like a wild beast at incredible speed!
Xu Qingzhou glanced at the comments on the screen, some expressing concern and others mocking, and a smile played on his lips.
"Don't be afraid, watch the streamer fight monsters for you!"
[？？？？]
Before he could finish speaking, he took a small step back, avoiding the first attack.
At the same time, a gleaming silver short sword quietly appeared in his hand.
Whoosh!
The silver light drew a cold arc in the darkness.
It struck precisely at the second vampire's claws that reached out to grab it.
The moment the silver sword made contact with the vampire's limbs, it emitted a chilling sound.
The vampire's claws instantly turned charred and started smoking, letting out an extremely shrill howl!
Xu Qingzhou raised an eyebrow and let out a soft "Eh".
"The novel was right, silver really can ward off evil!"
Although the effect is not as good as that of light magic.
But this sword was just a silver dagger he bought online on short notice.
It's not even sharpened yet. The sellers are selling this thing as a peripheral item, just a decoration.
It's already quite good to achieve this result.
[...]
[Holy crap? A novel??]
[Silver, is it? I'll write that down! I'll definitely carry silverware with me whenever I go out from now on!]
[Is the streamer... just learning and then showing off?]
[That scream sent chills down my spine!]
After repelling one, another pounced.
Xu Qingzhou did not retaliate.
He quickly backed away, simultaneously taking off his backpack and starting to rummage through his belongings.
[What are you doing, streamer?!]
[At this point, you're not going to feed your cat, are you?]
The barrage of comments was flooded with expressions of concern or amazement.
Xu Qingzhou slowly took a large plastic bag out of his bag.
"Alright, we've tried silver, now it's time to try garlic!"
He reached into the plastic bag, grabbed a handful of things, and threw them violently at the vampire.
It was indeed a bunch of peeled, plump, white garlic cloves.
Xu Qingzhou's throws were unskilled, just like tossing a sandbag.
After all, his main purpose this time was to test whether these legendary things that could restrain vampires were effective, and at the same time, to educate the public about self-protection methods.
Techniques that are too technically demanding cannot be widely promoted or popularized.
The garlic cloves pelted the vampires, making soft crackling sounds.
The vampire's movements suddenly froze, a clear look of disgust and discomfort flashing in his murky blood-red eyes.
He growled impatiently, shaking his head violently as if trying to get rid of the unpleasant smell, and his attacking movements became noticeably slower.
[!! Garlic! It really is garlic!!!]
[He doesn't seem as powerful as Yin.]
[Who cares, as long as it works!]
[Holy crap! I'm going to apologize to my mom right now! I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy ten pounds of garlic!]
The discussion had already started spontaneously in the comments section, so Xu Qingzhou didn't bother to say anything more.
He skillfully dodged the vampires' attacks, and when he couldn't avoid them, he swung his silver sword, leaving a charred mark on their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, viewers in the live stream saw him dodging while taking things out of his bag and throwing them.
Things like black dog blood, peach wood swords, talismans, flowing water, glutinous rice, etc.
These items are props that can ward off evil spirits, which are widely circulated in novels, legends, and online.
He brought almost everything he could find.
Yu Wanwan squatted down to the side, her tail curled up like a flashlight to provide light for the other side.
Watching Xu Qingzhou treat the two vampires as experimental subjects, wandering around them, I felt inexplicably that the scene was somewhat familiar.
You've corrupted him.
Isn't this her usual tactic?
Indeed, one is influenced by one's surroundings.
Even without the memory, he still learned it instinctively.
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
"..."
Yu Wanwan silently turned her head away.
impossible!
It has nothing to do with her!
[Black dog blood is useless.]
[Even a peach wood sword is useless. PS: I don't know if the streamer used genuine century-old peach wood, but ordinary peach wood is certainly ineffective against this thing!]
[The talismans didn't work, so roadside stalls and temples really are scams!]
[Flowing water is useless, and film and television techniques are a no-go!]
[Glutinous rice is useless! Although they both have the word "ghost" in their names, it seems there's a fundamental difference between vampires and ghosts!]
[Summary: Silver and garlic are effective; silver is a critical hit, while garlic is a debuff!]
Xu Qingzhou didn't need to say anything; the people in the live chat had already recorded and summarized everything.
When the last prop was used up, Xu Qingzhou sighed as he looked at the two exhausted vampires.
A flash of silver light appeared, like a startled swan.
The short sword pierced the hearts of the two zombies with incredible speed.
"Aww!"
Amidst their piercing screams, the two vampires swiftly turned to ashes and vanished into the air.
The factory has temporarily returned to silence.
Xu Qingzhou flicked his silver sword.
"It seems that physical exorcism is the ultimate solution."
