Trapped

The surroundings are extremely silent so Su Yu could clearly hear Duan Yuan's voice despite the other spoke quietly.

"There is." Su Yu answered as he looked around the interior of the Purple Old Manor which looked as if as good as new. "The interior is extremely clean as if someone is currently living in it and regularly cleaned it." He told Duan Yuan. He decided to follow what his audience could see right now as to not reveal that he could see the truth.

If even the audience who are all on the internet see that the interior of the Purple Old Manor is clean, meaning that they, including the technology, were deceived, then how would it be for him who is present on the scene? So, he can't reveal his skills, or else he would truly become a real exorcist in their eyes.

Just thinking it makes Su Yu's head hurt. He is a demon, after all. Thus, it is extremely ironic if he will end up as an exorcist.

"I see… so that's how it is." Duan Yuan muttered as he stared at the entire surroundings being wrapped by the evil qi. Obviously, the mastermind behind this wanted to cover up the truth, which they had yet to know. "Senior, things are more dangerous than we have expected. Do you want to leave now?" he asked Su Yu. After all, Su Yu is just an ordinary human, aside from being more daring and braver than them. So, Duan Yuan can't let Su Yu fall into danger.

Su Yu looked at Duan Yuan and secretly sighed. It seems that the young man can't hide his fear and wanted to leave now. Not that Su Yu looks down on it. After all, fear is the strongest negative emotion that humans could feel, and it stems from the unknown, especially when this unknown is dangerous. And the more dangerous it is, the more that the humans would feel scared.

So, Su Yu agrees with Duan Yuan's suggestion. In order for nothing to happen to Duan Yuan, he has to postpone his exploration of the Purple Old Manor for now. He can just come back later. His priority is Duan Yuan's safety. After all, Duan Yuan is just an ordinary human, not to mention the nephew of their boss.

If something happens to Duan Yuan, Su Yu definitely won't be able to keep his head later in the company. Maybe Han Yao would be implicated, too. Thus, they have to leave now. They have already confirmed that there really is an evil ghost that is residing in the Purple Old Manor, and it is strong, not to mention dangerous.

"Oka – " Su Yu was about to agree, but suddenly stopped when they heard a loud thud.

They turned and saw that the front doors were closed. Both Su Yu and Duan Yuan froze. Meanwhile, the entire screen of Su Yu's mobile phone was clear of comments, showing how stunned the audience is.

"… sorry. It seems like it is too late for us now." Su Yu said with a sigh as they watched the candles on the candelabra hanging on the walls started to light up one after another, including the chandelier above their heads.

The entire space slowly was illuminated by a dim, orange glow that started to fill up the entire room. But, instead of feeling warm, the temperature became even colder instead. The dim glow, instead of giving assurance, actually made the atmosphere eerier.

"!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

"Holy sht! What was that?! Is that what I think it is?!?!?!"

The entire screen, which was clear of comments earlier, now is filled with exclamation marks after the audience finally reacted. The countless exclamation marks show how shocked the audience is by what happened just now.

"Doors closing… and now the candles lighting up! A standard horror scene!!!!!"

"Upstairs, don't feel excited. This is really creepy, okay?!"

"I… now believe that this live stream really isn't a set-up. I can only say now for the anchor to – RUNNNN!!!!!"

"Wuwuwuwuwu I finally peed my pants QAQ but, instead of feeling ashamed, I feel worried for the anchor. Anchor, please run! Bring your friend with you and run!"

"Yes, yes… I almost forgot that there is still the friend… anchor, isn't your friend an expert? Why is he not taking action now?!"

"Hm?" Su Yu turned and saw the latest comment. "But I didn't say he is an expert?" he said.

"Anchorrrrr!!! Is this where you are focused on?! Hurry up and run! Run anywhere, as long as it is a safe place! Please TTATT"

"Anchor, why are you still standing there?! Run! Run! Run!"

"Damn it… that should be the work of a ghost, right?!?! Damn… the Purple Old Manor is really evil!!!"

"Upstairs, isn't this too late for you to react?"

"Guys, this is not the time to argue. We should call the police, okay?"

"What can the police do? If the ghost is really evil and dangerous, then not to mention the police would be unable to do anything, but they would be too late to collect the anchor's corpse, okay?"

"Pei! Pei! Pei*! Don't curse my lovely anchor!" (*spitting sound)

"Then… what can we do? We can't just leave the anchor alone!"

"Does anyone know an exorcist, or someone of similar line of work?"

"If I do, then my life wouldn't be so pathetic as it is now…"

"Fortune-teller is okay! As long as it can help the anchor!"

"What will the fortune-teller do? Calculate the anchor's fate, whether he will survive tonight or not?"

"Upstairs is an anti-fan? Please don't joke about someone's life."

…

Han Yao frowned when he saw what happened. "Damn it… I knew that there would be a ghost!" he cursed as he dialed Duan Fanbai's number. He will tell him that he shouldn't blame Su Yu in case something happens to Duan Yuan!

This is the best that Han Yao could do to protect Su Yu.

…

"Sht! There is really an evil ghost! Aaaaaaa!!!" Cen Haorong screamed as he covered his face with a pillow.

"Cen Haorong, you bastard, what are you screaming for?! The ghost didn't even show up!" Bai Xueyan, the leader of the Feixue Guild, hit Cen Haorong in the head.

"But there is still a ghost! And an extremely evil one!" Cen Haorong said.
