Most of the audience was focused on Bai Lin’s livestream. Even the production team could not help but open their eyes wide and wait quietly.
Bai Lin paused for a few seconds to raise everyone’s anticipation. Then, she smiled and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, “Before I answer this question, I’d like to ask you to type out the estimated time it’d take for you to choose and buy groceries, friend.”
[My house is closer to the market, so about ten minutes.]
[20 minutes? Sometimes longer when I want to cook more dishes.]
[Of course I have to pick the best when I shop! I always compare the goods and take at least an hour to choose.]
[Why’s Bai Lin asking this? Is she feeling guilty? Is she starting to change the topic and try to get close to us? I won’t be fooled!]
[Please use your brain. Lin-jie is obviously leading us to guess the correct answer.]
[I don’t know if I’m right, but before the show started, there was a cat’s meow that scared the guests. Does everyone still remember that?]
[After the black cat woke up, the old man heard the cat’s meowing and wanted to find ingredients in the village to feed it… So the ingredients are people?]
[Oh my god, I’m getting goosebumps.]
Bai Lin said, “I believe many of my smart friends have guessed it right. That’s right, it’s the meowing of the cat. After the cat meowed, the old man will spend some time to choose fresh humans as offerings. The cat isn’t an ordinary cat, but an evil spirit summoned by the village chief.
“There was a famine here, and every family suffered from hunger. The village chief got a summoning spell from somewhere and drew it on the wall, summoning the evil spirit black cat.”
Bai Lin walked slowly, twirling the old key. The wind whistled through the dilapidated mud house, making a frightening whimper.
The moon had been covered by dark clouds, and the night was even darker. Bai Lin’s voice was clear and distant. When she told the story in a clear and organized way, it was easy to attract people to be engrossed in the situation.
“The black cat promised to give him food, and what the village chief had to do was to kill people and turn them into food for the black cat. The black cat would then spit out food as reward but…”
Bai Lin stopped in front of the village chief’s house. She looked around and saw a big shovel in the yard. She picked it up and started digging at the spot she had gauged earlier. Less than one meter deep later, bones were exposed.
Bai Lin took out a skull and blew off the dirt on it. The empty eye sockets of the skull faced the camera, making it a chilling sight.
“Sure enough.” Bai Lin was not surprised. “These are the villagers he killed. I won’t count the exact number. You just have to be informed.”
She buried the skull back into the ground and went straight into the basement, not continuing the story.
All the netizens were in a terrible mood.
[Ah ah ah, Lin-jie! I beg you to continue! But what?]
[I really can’t take it anymore. Director, can you send us a copy of the script? I’m so curious.]
[I’m dying of laughter. Bai Lin’s still talking nonsense here. Our Youyou’s already seen through her true colors. My friends, she’s a witch who lies! She’s with the werewolves! Everyone, please don’t believe her!]
[Don’t you think you’re out of place? Zheng You’s reasoning can’t stand up to scrutiny at all. It’s all based on her personal imagination. She didn’t look for any clues too and missed all the details. Do you really believe what such thing says?]
[The world’s best game framework master. What’s there to doubt?]
[They really dare to boast. If only I have half the confidence of Zheng You’s
fans…]
[Oh my god, everyone, go to Zheng You’s livestream. She’s ready to break into the cat house!]
[Is she crazy?]
Zheng You put her hands on her hips and looked at Li Xuan unhappily. “Li Xuan, I’ve told you many times that we have to kill the werewolf before it turns. Use your axe to break the lock.”
Li Xuan hugged Ye Xing and said in a neither humble nor haughty manner, “Miss Zheng, I suggest you don’t do that. If you really let the ghost out, can you bear the responsibility?”
Ye Xing looked at the house that looked like an urn and advised softly, “Zheng-jie, let’s wait for Bai Lin to come before we decide, okay?”
