A piece of paper drifted down in front of Jiang Lin.
"Hic!"
After spitting out the paper, the ghost fire let out a hiccup and smacked its lips.
Whether it was Jiang Lin's illusion or not, he felt a trace of comfort from this ball of ghost fire.
Jiang Lin picked up the paper and looked at it.
"One of the accommodation rules: No demolishing rooms.
Accommodation rule two: The rooms are very fragile, do not do anything that might cause demolition, such as cultivation.
Accommodation rule three: Please maintain the integrity of the room!!!
Accommodation rule four: Please refer to the first three rules, otherwise, if you demolish here, you will be ganged up on by the ghosts in the entire building, incur huge debts, and be thrown into prison.
Friendly reminder: Be cautious when renting a house, lest you regret it for life. (Smile)"
Jiang Lin: "..."
It looked very serious.
He looked around. Was this house that fragile?
Listening carefully now, he seemed to hear some sounds from upstairs.
Considering his mid-stage Ghost King realm cultivation, Jiang Lin finally gave up the idea of cultivating.
Being ganged up on was secondary, the main thing was incurring huge debts…
In that case, it would be best to go to work or find a cultivation room between 12 AM and 4 AM.
However, he only had a cultivation card for the East Hall, and he didn't know if it would work in the South Hall.
All this would have to wait until after 4 AM.
Suddenly,
Jiang Lin's gaze fell on the bullet comments in the live stream, and his eyes lit up.
He couldn't go out, but the live streaming equipment could!
He might as well take this opportunity to see what the South Hall was like during this time period!
...
The viewers in the live stream were all shouting: "The streamer is looking over, looking over!"
"Does the streamer have something to say? Should I pause the excitement first?"
The next moment, the viewers found that the live stream camera was divided into two parts.
One continued to broadcast the scene inside the room, while the other...
Actually flew out of the window and drifted away!
"Holy crap! How did I not think of that!"
"Right, the streamer doesn't have to go out, but the live stream can still wander around!"
"The streamer is mighty!"
"Finally, we can know what the South Hall looks like from 12 AM to 4 AM!"
Sometimes, people are like this; the more they are not allowed to go out, the more curious they become.
Ever since Meng Shen said that they couldn't go out during this time period, the viewers had been curious.
Now, they finally had a chance to find out.
"It feels like an adventure!"
"Shh! Quiet, let's build the atmosphere first."
"The exploration journey of the South Hall Underworld officially begins!"
...
The small sphere of the live streaming equipment flew out of the window of 2203.
It first circled around Building 2...
No ghost figures could be seen around Building 2 anymore, only the light sources from the ghost fires illuminating the buildings.
The small sphere flew further out, all the way past the path Jiang Lin and the others had taken to Building 2, and past the Underworld Mission Center.
At this time, there were no ghost messengers competing on the circular platform at the entrance of the Mission Center, nor were there any onlookers around.
Further ahead was the place Meng Shen had only half-introduced before it turned into ruins.
Since the small sphere came out, it had not encountered any figures.
In the sky, there were no more soaring wings.
In the live stream, there was no sound to be heard for a moment.
It was as if the dead of night had arrived in the human world, silent and still.
The viewers lay in their beds, quietly listening to their own breathing.
At this moment, they seemed to have entered another world.
In this world, only they themselves remained.
A bullet comment slowly floated by: "Is anyone else here?"
A viewer replied below, "Are there any ghosts left?"
"Shh... there are ghosts!"
...
Just then, in a corner of the live stream camera, a black shadow was slowly moving and advancing beside the ruins.
The black shadow was very cautious, looking around carefully every two steps.
The viewers in front of the screen watched curiously, and as they watched...
They suddenly widened their eyes and subconsciously held their breath.
Behind the first black shadow, another figure had appeared at some point, quietly following behind.
The first black shadow, completely unaware, continued to take two steps and look around.
It cautiously skirted the edge of the ruins and slipped behind another building.
*Crack!*
A faint sound came from below the black shadow, and it immediately stopped moving.
It maintained the posture of crouching and moving, its eyes nervously darting left and right.
Seeing that nothing appeared, the black shadow slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it seemed to realize that it was no longer safe here and had to leave as soon as possible.
The viewers subconsciously became tense, watching with full attention.
*Crack~*
Another faint sound rang out.
—It came from below the black shadow.
The black shadow instantly became alert. It slowly lowered itself and looked around.
It felt a little confused. Why was it so unlucky tonight?
It looked down at its feet, only to suddenly realize that there was nothing under its feet!
Wait!
Where did that sound just now come from?
The black shadow held its breath and slowly turned its head to look behind it.
Behind it, a figure was quietly looking at him, "Good evening."
The black shadow: "Ahhhhhhh—"
At this moment, the black shadow was so terrified that its face contorted.
Its survival instinct also erupted, and it suddenly sprang in another direction.
"Take him away."
The figure that had been following the black shadow said calmly.
He turned around, his face flashing past the camera.
His face was angular, with two strands of long hair at his temples, giving him a very refined appearance at first glance.
After he finished speaking, several black shadows immediately darted out from the darkness, grabbed the black shadow that had just taken flight, and carried it away in another direction.
In the silent night, the black shadow's final struggle could be heard: "No—"
"I just overslept by accident, no—"
In response, the figure who had given the order said calmly:
"Let's go, meet up with Lord Zhong Kui."
"Yes!"
The several figures following in the darkness replied in unison.
...
The tragic scream carried far.
From the windows of one building after another, ghost heads poked out.
They glanced at the source of the sound and then quickly retracted their necks.
In Building 2, not far away, Jiang Lin, even without the live stream camera, heard the tragic sound.
"It seems that it's quite strict outside during this period," Jiang Lin thought.
He just didn't know why.
In the live stream, the viewers also felt a lingering fear.
"I have a bold guess, are there terrifying things lurking in the South Hall Underworld at night?"
"What could be more terrifying than ghosts? (◐ˍ◑)"
"Is there a possibility that the South Hall itself is a monster? That it awakens during this period?"
...
