Chapter 318 - 320: Quietly Watching
The more the girl thought about it, the more scared she became. She even started to tremble. Cautiously, she lifted the blanket and looked around. The room was as quiet as ever.
The curtains, not fully closed, let in a sliver of light from outside, but everything looked normal.
She was hiding under the covers, lying on her side and playing on her phone. It was already the middle of the night, but after sending the message, she felt a strange palpitation in her heart.
’Could there be a black shadow standing by my bed right now?’
The more she thought, the more terrified she grew, until she couldn’t resist reaching out to turn on the light. But the moment her hand extended, an unnatural feeling washed over her.
Out of fear, she had been lying under the covers the whole time, watching Su Nian’s livestream.
But now, as her hand reached out, she felt a sudden chill, as if it had touched something dreadful.
She snatched her hand back in an instant. Gently lifting her blanket and using the faint light filtering through the curtains, she saw it—at the head of her bed, there was indeed a blurry, black shadow.
The girl huddled under the covers, trembling uncontrollably. She didn’t dare to move a muscle, terrified of disturbing the shadow.
She quickly sent a message to Su Nian.
[Streamer, Streamer! This is bad! At my bedside, that black shadow is watching me!]
She was in such a panic that her message was riddled with typos, but Su Nian paid them no mind. Su Nian quickly sent a video call invitation.
Trembling, the girl tapped "accept."
The moment Su Nian saw the girl’s face, she couldn’t help but frown. The space between the girl’s eyebrows was filled with a black aura—a terrible omen!
According to Su Nian’s calculations, the girl wouldn’t live past tonight. Su Nian frowned, about to warn her.
But the girl spoke first. "Streamer, Streamer, let me show you what the ghost looks like! You have to help me!"
She didn’t wait to hear what Su Nian had to say and immediately stuck her phone out.
She wanted to stick it out and get a look at the ghost.
The girl’s face was twisted with fear, and her eyes were bloodshot from sheer terror.
She was shaking so badly that even the blanket was visibly moving.
Carefully, she poked the phone out from under the blanket, her head subconsciously following it.
Curiosity got the better of her. ’She also wanted to see what on earth that thing was.’
But she never expected that the instant she stuck the phone out, she would feel a sense of resistance.
It was as if something was blocking the small opening she had made in the blanket, obstructing the connection to the outside world.
At the same time, the stream’s comment section flooded with exclamation points.
Because they saw a ghostly face!!!
A ghastly face appeared clearly on the screen. The thing was completely black, except for its eyes, which glowed a brilliant red.
In that bizarre and horrifying moment, many viewers were so scared they dropped their phones. The girl, however, hadn’t realized anything yet. She cautiously lifted the blanket a little more.
But the moment her eyes peeked outside, she froze, and then let out a piercing scream.
There was a ghost waiting outside her blanket. Right at that moment, it had pressed its entire face into the opening she’d made.
It seemed to have been secretly watching the person inside through that very gap, observing what she was doing.
The experience was beyond terrifying. The girl shrieked in fear, subconsciously flinging her phone away in an instant.
The screen cracked. She trembled all over, staring at the pitch-black, humanoid thing before her, completely at a loss.
Her body was paralyzed, leaving only her throat to issue a continuous, loud scream.
[Holy crap, what the hell was that? It scared the life out of me!]
[I literally pissed myself!]
[I was on the toilet taking a dump, and that scare made me clench up so hard I can’t finish!]
[Fuck, my heart is still pounding! What the hell is that thing? It scared me to death!!!]
[Does anyone else feel this? I’m shaking all over! This is way too terrifying! What the hell is that thing?!]
[I’m so scared, my hands are still shaking!]
Aside from the panicked comments, Su Nian’s eyes narrowed. ’That thing has already noticed something is wrong with the girl. Is it about to make its move?’
Su Nian stopped her car and immediately focused on her phone. However, the image on the screen was frozen on the ceiling.
Su Nian guessed what had happened. The girl had been so terrified that she’d thrown her phone. As a result, Su Nian had no idea what the girl’s current situation was.
But Su Nian was reliable. The girl was on a video call with her and wasn’t wearing headphones, which meant the phone’s speaker was on.
Su Nian immediately picked up a piece of talisman paper, muttered an incantation, and continuously performed sealing gestures with her hands.
Although the magic’s effectiveness would be greatly diminished through the screen, it was still far better than doing nothing.
After throwing her phone, the girl lost all courage to pick it back up. She could only hide under the covers, burrowing into her blankets.
She’d heard that ghosts couldn’t attack people who were under the covers. She didn’t know if it was true or not, but she trembled, terrified of attracting the attention of the ghost outside.
And at that same moment, she heard the sound of footsteps from outside her sanctuary.
TAP, TAP, TAP... The sound echoed as if something was circling the bed, looking for something. She instantly thought of her lost phone.
Her fear intensified. And in the next second, the screen on the phone began to shake once more...
