His terrifying eyes were bloodshot, bulging almost entirely out of their sockets and pressing against Yu Qing!
[Aaaaaah!]
The sudden transformation made the livestream viewers gasp, while some grew wildly excited, certain the streamer would run.
But... Yu Qing merely took a step back and brushed off his shoulder in disgust. "Director, I only got out of solitary confinement. Are you really that... shocked?"
Creak, creak, creak-
Perhaps because everyone who saw him like this instinctively fled, with some even losing control of their bowels and collapsing on the floor, the director had long since made frightening people this way the sole pleasure of his endless life.
But now, this fellow standing before him had turned his only pleasure into a joke!
Wasn't he dead? How...
Creak, creak, creak-
The old director ground his teeth. With two squelching sounds, his eyeballs protruded even farther, making Yu Qing unable to resist... wanting to push them back in.
His right hand clenched, and his Adam's apple shifted slightly.
For a moment, Yu Qing really couldn't stop himself from raising his hand, but he soon lowered it again.
I don't have enough points left to buy gloves. I'll put up with it for now.
Having reassured himself, the young man ignored the director's provocation and made his way calmly back to his ward.
Tap, tap, tap.
Female ghosts darted through the corridor, soon all converging on him.
The director turned, a smile gradually surfacing in his eyes. He couldn't wait to see this fellow...
"Hello, sis."
"You're looking even prettier tonight, sis."
Unfortunately, right before his eyes, Yu Qing warmly greeted each of the female ghosts, then closed the door as though nothing had happened.
"..."
Creak, creak, creak, creak-
His teeth ground even faster.
In the livestream chat:
[Hahahaha, I'm dying. This streamer sure knows how to give an NPC a heart attack.]
[Tch, I hate newbies who show off like this. He looks calm, but he's probably about to piss himself in terror, right? Keeping up that act is pointless. It won't earn him any points.]
[Hey, my wifey really isn't faking it. He survived two days in the instance, and his beginner trial footage has already been uploaded to the archive. Come on, let's watch how he killed his own parents.]
[WTF??? He started killing monsters in the starter zone???]
Comments quickly flooded the livestream. Then, click-
Yu Qing shut the door. Before he could catch his breath, his legs began to weaken uncontrollably.
That was brutal...
Bracing one hand against the wall, he shuffled forward with difficulty, entered the ward's bathroom, and turned on the shower, silently praying that what came out wouldn't be bloody water, wouldn't be bloody water, wouldn't be bloody water.
It was hot water!
"Phew-" Yu Qing let out a long breath of relief. While the viewers were busy watching his beginner footage, he immediately stripped off his clothes, plunged into the water, and filled the bathtub with bubbles.
By the time the viewers noticed: [??? When did wifey get in? I feel like I missed out on a hundred million!]
[Ahem, um... wasn't there something wrong with the way you got in just now? You can't just take baths however you like in this instance. Please stand up, and I'll walk you through getting in again.]
[...You upstairs, your ulterior motives just smacked me right in the face.]
[Oh my god, I finished the starter zone video, and now I'm actually scared for the director. He even killed those monster parents whose eyes pressed against him. Yikes...]
Scalding steam enveloped him. Yu Qing leaned back wearily, his wet white hair resting on his shoulders. His lashes fluttered a few times before his eyes gently closed.
He was so tired. His body sank lower, and the bubbles in the tub began to dissipate...
[Aaaah! Here comes the good stuff!]
The livestream grew excited again, with comments like [Shh, don't tell the streamer] competing to flood the screen. As the bubbles covering his chest were about to vanish completely, the viewers howled wildly. Suddenly, plop-
That black coat landed on him, covering him completely in an instant.
[...]
It was as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over the excited livestream. The chill was so complete that even the comments stopped moving.
The rapidly rising viewer count seemed to freeze, then soon began slowly dropping.
Suddenly! [Aaaaaah! What did I just see?!]
Splash-
"Mm..."
In the bathtub, the young man's face flushed red...
