A Livestream Accident
The viewers who entered the live stream were unaware of the predicament the Action Department were in; instead, they were unusually excited and spammed the chat.
"First!"
"Where? What's so strange about it?"
"Wow, this is Master Lu, he's so young."
"That's really cool, isn't it? He exudes the aura of a master."
"Is this Keshan University of Arts? It's only a few blocks from where I live. That explains why the roads there have been closed for the past couple of days."
"No, haven't you noticed, something seems off?"
After the initial novelty wore off, people gradually began to notice that something was wrong.
Wasn't it supposed to be a follow-up to the bizarre incident during the live stream?
Why does the live stream look a bit off right now?
Especially Captain Mao, who was walking next to Lu Bai, had a tense and solemn expression that seemed genuine.
"This isn't right, is this supposed to be the finishing touches?"
"Why do I feel like the atmosphere is a bit strange?"
"Is this a live stream of dealing with a strange occurrence?"
"That's a little scary..."
"Safety first."
"Please stay safe."
The so-called "closing-off work" for the live stream has now turned into a live stream of dealing with the supernatural.
The viewers in the live stream felt more somber than curious.
Perhaps it was because Captain Mao's emotional performance was so infectious and realistic that even those watching on screen could feel the immense fear he was experiencing firsthand.
Inside the Action Department's meeting room.
Minister Zhang looked at the image on the large screen in the center, his expression somewhat solemn.
He made the decision to do the live stream, and now that something unexpected has happened, he will be responsible for any negative consequences.
"Minister Zhang?"
Director Lu Bai Service and Research Guarantee Bureau, with his bald head, tentatively suggested, "The situation has changed, what do you think... perhaps we could..."
Minister Zhang shook his head in silence. "It cannot be interrupted."
He glanced back at the numerous people in the hall and said in a deep voice, "Continue the live stream. Now we can only trust Master Lu."
The school buildings, including the hallways, are generally very spacious.
During the day, it provides students with ample space, but at night, especially when no one is around, this empty environment can easily make people feel uneasy.
The corridors and classrooms were quiet, and the stairwells were pitch black, as if something scary might jump out of the shadows at any moment.
Lu Bai put his index finger to his lips, signaling them to be quiet.
He had assumed that the Teaching Building was only for deathmatchers, but as soon as he entered, he felt a bone-chilling cold, like entering an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day, his whole body enveloped in coolness.
This change clearly indicates that something strange is going on.
Unfortunately, Lu Bai didn't see any yin energy, so he couldn't determine the source of the strangeness through this method.
He paused for a moment, then continued climbing the stairs to the second floor where he had previously seen the deathmatchers.
As soon as they arrived, before they even reached the classroom door, they heard an extremely faint cry for help.
Look in the direction from which the sound came.
The source of the sound was determined to be not the classroom where the death row fighters had been, but the office at the end of the corridor.
Captain Mao, who was following behind Lu Bai, couldn't help but shudder when he heard this voice.
The school has been closed for a long time, and faculty and staff are even less likely to be at the school at this time.
Therefore, he could only assume that the noise was coming from an eerie source. Instead of rushing over to check or rescue anyone, he first checked the status of the communication equipment.
Incidentally, it's true that strange occurrences can cause electronic devices to malfunction.
However, the range of these malfunctions varies, and some are even strange, only occurring when the user is within three or four meters of the device.
"Buzz~ Captain Mao, have you found anything over there?"
Captain Mao pressed the intercom button.
"Have you investigated the offices on the second floor of Huixin Building? Please send over the floor plan of Huixin Building as soon as possible..."
Lu Bai thought for a moment, then didn't stop him and started walking towards the office.
But before he could get close...
A loud bang was heard.
The office door at the end of the corridor suddenly shattered into pieces, from which a powerful blue-green shockwave surged out, sweeping through the corridor and wreaking havoc.
"Holy crap!"
"They're out."
Captain Mao and Observer Chen promptly hid behind Lu Bai.
The windows of classrooms along the way shattered with a roar, and even some portraits of celebrities hanging in the corridors were shattered into pieces by the blast wave.
Amidst the rising shockwave, a man dressed as Construction Worker emerged abruptly from the office.
He adjusted his bright yellow safety helmet, his face looking extremely grim.
All of this was faithfully recorded by Observer Chen's video recording equipment.
The live stream was incredibly popular.
"!!!"
"No, what's going on?!"
"Something strange has appeared!"
"How come I see a man?"
"Quickly, can someone tell me which sequence's anomaly looks like this?"
Netizens flooded the screen with comments.
After all, in a stressful life where the bizarre could appear at any moment, just seeing something strange on a screen is enough to make anyone tremble with fear.
The commentator in the live broadcast room forced a smile and said, "Dear citizens, please don't worry. Master Lu has the ability to handle strange occurrences... Even if something unexpected happens, our Action Department will spare no effort to protect you..."
The council chamber was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.
"Minister Zhang, with such a big commotion, Master Lu, can he handle it?" a senior member of the Action Department asked.
Minister Zhang remained expressionless, striving to maintain a calm facade.
There's no other way; we've come this far, so there's no question of whether it's possible or not. We can only pray that Lu Bai can really deal with the strange entity.
The Teaching Building in progress.
Observer Chen hid behind Lu Bai, his hand holding the portable camera trembling.
Even though I've already seen Drowned Ghost once, the thought of having to face the eerie again still fills me with uncontrollable fear.
Lu Bai, on the other hand, did not experience the same complex emotional fluctuations as them.
He merely tilted his head slightly, observing the Construction Worker had appeared in the corridor with great interest.
The title above his head proclaimed his identity as a deathmatch fighter, but it seems he's encountered some serious trouble.
"Help... Big brother, help me..."
The cries for help coming from the office sounded unusually hoarse, as if the throat had been ground down by a millstone.
The Construction Worker naturally noticed Lu Bai and his two companions at the other end of the corridor out of the corner of his eye, but he had no time to pay attention to Lu Bai. His nerves were taut, and his body was as stiff as a statue.
They had originally come to the university to see what was happening after seeing the news that Lu Bai was dealing with something supernatural, so they decided to come and join in the fun.
Because the security guard's office was visible from this Teaching Building, they all secretly hid inside it.
Unexpectedly, before they could even set a trap for Lu Bai, their accomplices scattered throughout the Teaching Building began to encounter accidents one after another...
