Chapter 319 - 321: The Pitch-Black Fiend
[What’s going on with the screen?]
[That girl crawled out from under the covers. Brave of her!]
[She’s pretty brave!]
[Of course she’s brave. She knows the streamer is the only one who can save her.]
But contrary to the viewers’ speculation, what appeared on the screen was a grotesque, ghostly face.
After picking up the phone, it said nothing, just tilted its head and let out a cackling laugh. Its pitch-black face, combined with those dark red eyes, was enough to make one’s heart shudder all over again.
Immediately, a flood of "AHH"s and exclamation points filled the live chat.
[Accidentally clicked in, may misfortune be banished!!!]
[+1 +1!!]
[I didn’t see anything, I’m leaving now, don’t get me, don’t get me!]
[Don’t eat me!!!]
The ghost grew more and more frightening. It emanated a black aura, and the very texture of its body seemed wrong.
When Su Nian saw this ghost, her heart skipped a beat.
She couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t know what the girl was doing, but she could see the ghost crystal clear.
This ghost was pitch black all over; it must have been burned by fire.
A thought flashed through Su Nian’s mind, but it was about something else entirely.
She didn’t feel afraid. Instead, her eyes focused on the ghost’s facial features.
Although the ghost was charred black, its general features were still discernible.
The contour of its nose, the thickness of its lips, the look in its eyes, and the general lines of its face—Su Nian could roughly piece them together.
Su Nian asked through the screen, "Did someone die in this house before?"
But the girl hiding under the covers was too busy trembling to hear what Su Nian said.
Su Nian composed herself and asked the Pitch Black Ghost before her, "You were burned to death, weren’t you?"
Then she answered her own question, "In that case, you should be afraid of fire."
The Pitch Black Ghost in front of her tilted its head as if it didn’t understand what Su Nian was saying, but in the next second, a flame ignited on Su Nian’s fingertip.
The flame was so realistic that its scorching heat seemed to radiate right through the phone.
The sudden appearance of fire startled the Pitch Black Ghost, and it instinctively took a step back. Its face contorted, as if recalling some terrible experience.
Su Nian narrowed her eyes, contemplating how to deal with it.
But the ghost seemed oblivious to any further danger, its eyes still locked on Su Nian, full of hatred.
The next second, it bared its fangs in a hideous grin and snarled into the livestream, "You’ll all die! All of you!! You’ll all burn to death just like me!"
Its tone was malevolent, and its voice, low and raspy, sounded as if it had been scorched by smoke.
Meanwhile, the girl under the covers grew even more terrified.
After her initial wave of fear, she had been listening cautiously, and when she heard Su Nian’s voice coming from the phone...
She grew even more frantic. ’How could I have thrown away the one thing that could save my life?’
And now, the sound of the ghost’s voice made her shudder uncontrollably.
’I don’t want to die.’ But she was helpless. All she dared to do was hide under the covers.
She even tried her best to control her body, to stop it from shaking, terrified of attracting the ghost’s attention.
Her mental defenses had completely crumbled; she didn’t dare go out and face the ghost head-on.
[This ghost is so scary! It actually dares to threaten the streamer!]
[Sigh, but the streamer is on the other side of a screen. She can’t really pose a threat to it!!]
[You guys are so brave, still daring to chat. I don’t dare to say anything. I’m afraid this ghost will target me!]
[Whatever. It’s through a screen, what can she do to it anyway?!]
Su Nian looked at the Pitch Black Ghost and silently began to chant a spell.
The ghost’s mind hadn’t yet registered the approaching danger, but a second later, it sensed something was wrong.
Its body felt like it was burning. Confused, it instinctively reached out to touch itself but felt nothing there.
Meanwhile, Su Nian’s Magic continued. Although the Pitch Black Ghost had been burned to death, its general facial structure remained.
Su Nian was able to roughly deduce its birth chart. Every person’s is unique, and it persists even after death.
Using its birth chart, Su Nian placed another curse on the already dead entity!
The Pitch Black Ghost didn’t realize what was happening, only that its whole body was suddenly burning. The next second, its eyes snapped toward the chanting Su Nian!
Its blood-red eyes shifted slightly. It seemed to have discovered something.
But it didn’t retreat. Instead, it chose to extend its hand toward the girl trembling under the covers.
The girl was currently hiding under her blanket, praying that the ghost would keep talking to the streamer and not notice her at all!
She had heard that ghosts disappear at daybreak. All she could do now was pray for the sun to rise quickly!
[What is it doing?]
[The ghost put the phone down!]
[No way, it’s going after the girl.]
[Streamer, save her! Don’t let the ghost get her.]
[Yeah, this ghost is seriously vicious. If I were there, I’d have to give it a few good slaps!]
The girl was still trembling, completely unaware that danger had arrived. Meanwhile, the Pitch Black Ghost felt the pain in its body growing more and more unbearable.
It put down the phone and walked toward the girl. With every step, it left a black footprint on the floor that reeked of something burnt, and it drew closer and closer to her.
It was an eerie scene, enough to make anyone scream out loud, but the girl only knew to hide under the covers and tremble.
She didn’t dare make a sound, thinking that as long as she kept hiding, everything would be fine.
But she didn’t know that its charred hand was already reaching for the blanket.
At the same time, the girl smelled a burnt odor, and her heart leaped into her throat.
She instantly thought of that pitch-black ghostly thing.
’That thing seems to be getting closer to me!’
The mere possibility made her body tremble uncontrollably.
But in the next second, she summoned all her courage. She grabbed the blanket, shot up, and threw it over the Pitch Black Ghost’s head.
As she flung the blanket, she couldn’t help but scream at the top of her lungs.
She was just too terrified, and screaming was the only way to vent her fear.
The moment she recklessly threw the blanket, she bolted. But this time, she’d learned her lesson, firmly reminding herself to grab the phone.
Phone in hand, she sprinted out the door of her home.
But as soon as she was outside, she regretted it. Most people were already asleep, and it was pitch black out. There was no one to protect her.
Calling the police was even more unrealistic. By the time the cops arrived, she might have already been eaten by the ghost. This wasn’t a normal person—this was a ghost!!
The next second, Su Nian’s voice came through the phone’s speaker, directing her, "There’s a utility closet there! Hide inside!!"
The girl was desperate for direction. Even without knowing if going inside was the right or wrong thing to do, she ducked in without a moment’s hesitation.
At the same time, Su Nian commanded, "Look for some paper! And a lighter! Burn it, quickly! This ghost was burned to death, so it’s most afraid of fire. As long as you show it there’s fire here, it won’t dare to come in!"
But the truth was, after rummaging around for a long time, the girl couldn’t find a single thing in the utility closet that would burn. She didn’t even see a lighter.
And from outside the door, the smell of something scorched began to drift in...
