Blue Star, 4:00 PM on January 25, 2025.
A new live stream titled " Transmigrating to Another World " suddenly appeared on the Slow Foot Platform.
The live stream showed a dark, muddy swamp, which wasn't very large, only about two or three meters in diameter.
The swamp was surrounded by tall trees, at least two meters in diameter.
Although there are large gaps between the trees, you can see through these gaps that the trees in the distance are basically all of similar thickness.
If it weren't for the swamp where bubbles occasionally rise, you'd think this was a still image!
People occasionally join the live stream, but most choose to leave.
Only extremely Bored people would stay out of curiosity, wanting to know what kind of antics this live stream is all about.
After all, there are all sorts of strange live streaming rooms, but it's rare to see a newcomer's live streaming room that doesn't even have a streamer.
The number of viewers in the live stream gradually stabilized at 9.
Yeah, 9 extremely Bored people.
[By the way, what kind of novel live streaming method is this? Where is the streamer?]
[That's strange. This should be a primeval forest. Trees that thick can only be found in primeval forests.]
[Yes, this tree is really thick, it must be at least a hundred years old, right?]
[That depends on the tree species. If it's a poplar, it's probably around one or two hundred years old, but it's impossible to tell what kind of tree this is.]
[I also looked it up online. Look at these leaves, they look like bell peppers!]
[Does it look like a bell pepper? Why does it look like a woman's manicure, you know, the really long kind?]
[Now that you mention it, it's true. But what kind of tree has leaves that grow like that? A willow?]
[The bark of the willow tree isn't reddish either, and the leaves are pointed at both ends; the leaves of these trees really look like manicures inlaid on the trunk.]
I don't know, I searched online but couldn't find what kind of tree it is!
[Could it be some undiscovered new species?]
[I don't care what kind of tree it is, I only care about where the streamer is!]
[Oh my god, am I seeing things? Why did I feel the swamp move?]
[I feel the same way... Wocao!]
[What the hell?!]
In the live stream footage, a muddy hand suddenly emerged from the edge of what was originally just an occasional bubble in the muddy swamp.
This scene startled all nine people in the live stream.
Immediately afterwards, another muddy hand emerged from the swamp, followed by half a mud figure.
"Hoo..." The clay figure opened its mouth and took a deep breath.
The force was so great, it was as if they were trying to inhale all the surrounding air into their lungs.
Perhaps because of excessive force, muddy water was sucked into his mouth.
The clay figure coughed violently again.
The mud-covered figure coughed as it crawled out of the swamp, using both its hands and feet.
He lay down on the grass next to him, breathing rapidly and greedily. He was breathing so hard that you could almost hear the air rushing through his trachea.
The occasional coughing was heartbreaking to hear.
After nearly five minutes, the clay figure seemed to finally relax, struggling to turn over before slowly sitting up.
He wiped his face with his hand, revealing a pale, almost bloodless, thin face.
He looked up, seemingly at the phone camera, his expression shifting between surprise and confusion, like a character changing faces.
In a short time, his expression had changed several times.
Finally, looking at the camera, he slowly said, "My name is Ling Yi. I've been kidnapped. Please, viewers in the live stream, call the police for me."
[No, kidnapping, calling the police? Dude, are livestream storylines getting this outrageous these days? Do you know the consequences of making a false police report?]
[Hey streamer, you've really cracked me up! You can stream on your phone, but you can't call the police if you turn it off?]
[Also, you weren't holding your phone while livestreaming, you must have had an assistant with you, right? Such a huge loophole! If we actually called the police, wouldn't we just be part of your scheme?]
In the live stream, Ling Yi seemed to see the comments and frowned as he said, "My ID number is... I am a student in Class 2, Grade 1 at Dafeng City No. 2 Middle School."
"My homeroom teacher's phone number is... If you don't want to call the police, please tell my teacher so he can call the police for me."
"As for why my phone can broadcast live but not make phone calls, I don't know how to explain it."
"See for yourselves!"
As Ling Yi finished speaking, the perspective in the live stream began to Changes.
From the original parallel perspective, it suddenly became a bird's-eye view; in the blink of an eye, the camera zoomed out—no, it wasn't the camera zooming out, but rather the live-streaming equipment flying high into the air.
Take a picture from a height of more than 30 meters.
From this perspective, the camera angle appears strange.
Compared to the towering trees around him, Ling Yi appeared incredibly small.
Then, the camera pans around, revealing an endless jungle filled with these unknown tree species.
In the far distance, shrouded in mist, there seemed to be a continuous mountain range, forming a semicircle that enclosed this forest in the middle.
Then, the camera slowly panned down, returning to Ling Yi's side.
[Something feels off. Have you noticed? These trees are all straight up and down, with the same thickness from top to bottom, like sticks standing on the ground with branches and leaves growing from the top.]
[Yes, what kind of tree is the same thickness from top to bottom?]
[Also, look at the swamp behind the streamer, it's a perfectly round, neat circle. Did the streamer dig that himself?]
[Pfft, you dug it yourself, then jumped in yourself?]
[The streamer was probably using a drone, right? But even if it was a drone, there should be a signal source connected to the phone on the back. I still don't believe the streamer was kidnapped.]
[It's all a setup, part of the story. If you actually dare to call the police, then you've fallen for the streamer's trick.]
The number of viewers in the live stream has fluctuated, but has gradually stabilized at around thirty.
Has no one called the streamer's homeroom teacher?
[I guarantee the phone call is fake. If it were real, I, Shi Qiang, would do a handstand while washing my hair.]
[Upstairs, don't make predictions while watching the live stream, you'll easily be proven wrong.]
[Whether the phone number is real or fake, just make a call and you'll know!]
[Upstairs, do you dare to fight? What if the other side has some kind of strategy?]
[What kind of tricks could they use? Just record audio and video, and hang up if they sense anything's wrong!]
[You make it sound so easy, but would you dare make that call?]
[Why are you dragging your feet? If no one's going to attack, I'll. It's not a big deal. What if the streamer really has been kidnapped?]
That being said, almost no one actually dares to make the call.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a trick played by the streamer, and no one would dare to call strangers indiscriminately.
Qin Hai is a barbecue chef at Ningxin Barbecue in Dafeng City. He is tall and fat, with a chubby face, narrow but small eyes that are barely open, and with his bald head, he looks like Maitreya Buddha.
However, the white chef's uniform he was wearing looked very clean and tidy.
Since it's not open for business yet, I'm just browsing my phone and watching live streams since I have nothing to do.
I was watching Ling Yi's live stream.
The last comment was posted by him.
Although he didn't believe that the anchor named Ling Yi had been kidnapped, what could possibly happen with just a phone call?
So he took out a spare phone, but he froze after taking it out.
He only remembered 131; he didn't remember the rest, or rather, he hadn't paid attention to it before.
[ Ling Yi, could you please say the phone number again!]
Ling Yi seemed to be able to see the comments, so he repeated his phone number.
After carefully memorizing the phone number, Qin Hai pressed the dial button.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Hello, who is this?" A slightly deep middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Even without seeing the person, just hearing that voice gives one a sense of authority.
"Hello, are you the homeroom teacher of No. 2 Middle School, Grade 1 at No. 2 Middle School?"
"Yes, I am Zhao Rufeng!"
"So, is there a student named Ling Yi in your class?" Qin Hai asked again.
"Yes!" The voice on the other end of the phone was much lower.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Rufeng asked.
"Here's the thing, Ling Yi is currently live-streaming, seemingly in a Lin Zhong. He says he's been kidnapped and asked the viewers in the live stream to contact you and ask you to help call the police."
"What did you say?" Zhao Rufeng's voice rose several decibels, his tone tinged with anger.
"Uh, I meant Ling Yi is livestreaming..."
"Ha, you scammers really are everywhere, but before you start scamming people, can't you at least find out the truth first?"
"Huh, a scammer?" Qin Hai was taken aback. "How am I a scammer?"
"Because my student, Ling Yi, died three days ago, at the school gate, hit by a car that ran a red light..." Zhao Rufeng's voice was hoarse, with a hint of sobs.
But then he immediately followed up in a deep, angry voice, "You liars! I've recorded it, and I'll call the police later."
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, Teacher Zhao, if what you're saying is true, then I've been tricked by that streamer! I've been scammed too."
"If you don't believe me, go to the Slow Foot Platform and search for it. Hmm? What's the name of this live stream again?"
Like most viewers, Qin Hai stumbled upon this live stream while watching short videos, without even reading the title or the streamer's name.
"Let me see, the live stream is called 'Transmigrating to Another World,' and the streamer is called Ling Yi."
"Holy crap, Transmigrating to Another World? Could it really be true?"
"You bastards, you liars, do you really think people are stupid?" Zhao Rufeng roared on the other end of the phone.
He was already heartbroken by the sudden death of his beloved student, and now a fraudster was using Ling Yi's name to swindle people. How could he not be furious?
Then, he hung up the phone!
"No, I'm really not a liar!"
