Li Dan smiled awkwardly, reached out to ruffle her hair, and turned his gaze back to the computer screen.
The livestream had not ended. The comments were still scrolling wildly, but the image had turned completely black.
The static came and went. Occasionally, a few muffled screams and shouts could be heard through the interference, making people's scalps tingle.
"????.〞"
"What's going on? Why did it go black?"
"What was that huge noise just now? Did anyone see it?"
"Two possibilities: either the production crew faked it as a publicity stunt, or they really ran into a ghost and the equipment got destroyed."
"Ah, fuck. Good thing this is South Korea. If it were North Korea, what would a mere psychiatric hospital even count for? Long live the Sun!"
"Great, it's the General!"
"Anyone want to form a group and go to the site to expose this scam?"
"Bro, I'm just telling the truth. Turn this place into a tourist attraction. Once thousands or tens of thousands of people come here, could it still be haunted?"
"The guy above has a point."
The comments section was a mess. Some people were enjoying the spectacle, while others were worried about the explorers inside.
Others were throwing around memes. All kinds of remarks were mixed together, making the reality of the moment stand out even more.
Because no matter how absurd ghosts were, they could not possibly be as absurd as people.
Li Dan watched the black screen. The static in his ears grew harsher and harsher. He casually turned down the volume, already having reached a conclusion.

Otherwise, there would not be so many self-proclaimed geniuses
