120. Sitting Beside You Makes Me Unlucky

The back street of Jiangcheng University.

Despite the previous body dumping case, the place was far from deserted. With October approaching, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day were just around the corner, and students were still eating and drinking here. The internet cafe was filled with shouts of people playing games, and the aroma of fried rice mixed with spicy hot pot was particularly tempting.

Lu Ban bought over ten yuan worth of fried skewers, a smoked meat roll, and a cup of fruit dessert. He then walked into the pan-fried bun shop, ordered a pan-fried bun, and sat down.

Things are so cheap near universities.

Lu Ban sighed, and after taking two bites of the rolled pancake, before the pan-fried buns were even served, he heard a familiar voice.

"Boss, I'd like an order of pan-fried buns, with a crispy crust."

Looking up, it was indeed Qin Tiantian.

Wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, and carrying a bag of barbecue and milk tea.

"Didn't you go to gather materials?"

Qin Tiantian was dumbfounded.

"You've finished collecting them?"

Lu Ban took another bite of the crepe.

He saw Qin Tiantian hesitate for a moment, but eventually sat down. However, she didn't sit at the same table as Lu Ban; instead, she sat next to him.

"Why don't you sit over here? It takes up too much space for each person at the table, and it's inconvenient for the boss."

Lu Ban asked.

"I feel like sitting next to you is bad luck."

Qin Tiantian spoke earnestly.

"."

Lu Ban thought about it and it seemed to be true.

The last time Qin Tiantian went home at night, she encountered the Ghost Market. When the two police officers were taking her home, she accidentally wandered into the Yin Yang Road.

Perhaps Lu Ban really does have some kind of constitution that attracts bad luck.

What did you research? Can you give us a spoiler?

After taking a couple of bites of the grilled lamb skewers, Qin Tiantian couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Like shrines and shrine maidens and stuff."

Lu Ban answered truthfully.

"You went abroad?"

Qin Tiantian immediately became interested.

Girls, although not everyone likes traveling, they do like those artsy and refreshing scenes like cherry blossoms falling on torii gates or Torii Gate holding umbrellas on bridges.

"I guess so."

After thinking about it, I guess "foreign land" can be considered a foreign country.

"Are they planning to scare us again this time?"

Qin Tiantian was eager to try.

Although each time I get scared, I break out in a cold sweat, the tension at that moment and the feeling of relaxation afterwards are addictive.

"It's not that scary."

Lu Ban thought for a moment.

"You're kidding me."

Qin Tiantian took a sip of milk tea, then seemed to remember something and spoke up.

"By the way, do you know Nanhua Hospital?"

"Nanhua Hospital?"

Lu Ban felt the word sounded familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly answered.

"The hospital that's going to be demolished?"

Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, formerly a private hospital on Nanhua Road, went bankrupt at the beginning of the year due to previous rectification. It was sold to Jiangcheng Industries two months ago and is now undergoing demolition.

"Yes, it was originally slated for demolition, but construction was recently suspended."

After Qin Tiantian finished eating the grilled gluten, there was some chili on the corner of her mouth, which she wiped with a tissue.

"It's said that the construction site is haunted!"

"Haunted?"

Lu Ban raised his eyebrows.

"They say the workers on duty at the construction site at night can hear children crying and hear the elevator running even though it's out of power. It's terrifying."

Qin Tiantian spoke with such seriousness that even the owner, who was skillfully frying dumplings, glanced over.

"Oh, and then?"

Lu Ban remained unmoved.

"Aren't you supposed to be making these kinds of videos? Aren't you going to take a look?"

Qin Tiantian urged.

"I see that several of those adventure-loving content creators are planning to go, but it seems that Jiangcheng Industries doesn't allow them to go in. I've been looking at their chat history in the group, and one of them, who's not afraid of death, is planning to sneak in tonight."

"The places to be demolished are all dilapidated buildings, so we really shouldn't go there."

Lu Ban thought for a moment and then answered.

Aren't you curious?

Qin Tiantian wondered if Lu Ban was sick, as he seemed completely uninterested in such obvious supernatural tales.

"Sometimes, the more you know, the less happy you may be."

Lu Ban advised.

"Tsk."

Qin Tiantian scoffed. Anyone could say that, but if Lu Ban said it, she wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark.

After the two finished eating, Qin Tiantian walked three steps behind Lu Ban, looking around cautiously, afraid that she might have wandered into some strange place again.

When passing by the Spirit Shed downstairs from Lu Ban, Qin Tiantian was still somewhat hesitant and didn't dare to take another look.

After dropping Qin Tiantian off at her building, Lu Ban returned home.

He had originally planned to study, but then he remembered what Qin Tiantian had said and became a little uneasy.

Lu Ban glanced at his phone and saw that the adventure streamer was live at midnight. He made a reservation and went to study.

For Lu Ban, a day of work during the day and study at night was a perfectly fulfilling one.

At 12 o'clock, Lu Ban opened the webpage and saw that there were already quite a few people in the live broadcast room.

Because of the small wave of popularity sparked by Lu Ban's previous video, this kind of adventure live stream has seen a resurgence. In addition, the incident at Nanhua Private Renji Hospital is very popular on several niche paranormal forums, so this live stream has a large audience.

When Lu Ban opened it, the streamer had already climbed over the wall and entered the hospital.

As you can see, most of this private hospital has been demolished, with only the main building remaining. Under the bright lights of the construction site, the rubble casts jagged shadows, which is somewhat frightening.

The streamer used a body camera, which was probably fixed to his hat. It had some night vision capabilities, so the view was fairly clear.

It took the anchor more than ten minutes to bypass the workers on duty and enter the hospital building.

He explained in a low voice as he approached the elevator.

"Is this the haunted elevator? It looks broken."

The anchor shone a flashlight on the elevator buttons and could see some dirt on them, obscuring some of the floors.

His flashlight shone through the departments, casting heavy shadows on the messy beds and medical equipment, prompting contemplation.

The rest of the adventure was uneventful; the streamer went all the way up to the fifth floor without encountering any ghosts or monsters.

However, Lu Ban noticed that the anchor's voice sounded weak, as if he had just stepped out of a cold storage room.

"It seems there's nothing more to investigate. Through this exploration, we can conclude that the paranormal events at Nanhua Hospital are fabricated; there are no ghosts or monsters here."

Before the streamer could finish speaking, Lu Ban heard a series of howling sounds coming from his live stream.

It sounded like a child crying, coming from afar.

The anchor immediately held his breath and quieted down.

You can hear that the sound is not an illusion, but a real sound.

The live chat was still filled with comments criticizing the streamer's acting skills, saying it was all pre-arranged.

But Lu Ban could see that when the streamer looked back down the hospital corridor, there was a figure clearly at the end of the corridor.

The streamer himself seemed unaware, but the audience had already gone wild.

suddenly.

Then some more sounds came through the live stream.

If you listen carefully, you'll find that it sounds like the elevator's steel cables being pulled.

The anchor's camera panned to one side, to the old elevator.

I don't know when, but the elevator had already started moving, and numbers were displayed on it.

three.

Four.

five.

bite--

The elevator made an arrival sound, and in the live stream, the elevator doors slowly opened.

"What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, when the elevator doors opened, two workers were seen holding flashlights and speaking sternly.

The atmosphere in the live stream room immediately became cheerful again.

Next, the streamer was politely dismissed, ending the live stream somewhat awkwardly.

Only Lu Ban noticed that there was a mirror in the elevator, and in the mirror, next to the Pale- faced anchor, there was a little girl in a dress tugging at his trouser leg.
