Hallway

"FCK! I felt like something exploded in my brain and heart when that door closed and made that loud noise!"

"Is it the evil ghost again?"

"No doubt about it. It seems like it can't bear to let the anchor know its secrets."

"So the candles' flames suddenly dimming should be a hint or something? Like a sort of signal?"

"Upstairs, are you a detective? I also think that was a hint… either to hurry the anchor to leave, or its powers not able to hold on any longer hiding the secret in that room?"

"Wow, you guys are amazing to find out these things! Here, I give you a pen to write!"

"Unfortunately, this is the reality and not a fiction. I really pity the anchor…"

"Fiction is based on reality, though…"

"We can only guess as much as we can and hope that it could help the anchor's current situation."

"You are right! I will go and find some clues starting from now!"

Su Yu's face is blank as he stared face to face at the door that just suddenly closed right on his face. If he is just not afraid to reveal his identity to Duan Yuan and the online audience, he would have already destroyed the door and forced the evil ghost to come out and have a showdown with him! How dare this evil ghost shut the door on his face! So rude! When he finally finds that evil ghost, he will definitely pummel it to teach it a lesson!

The evil ghost better be grateful that he is not in the cultivation world… or else, it would have long been eaten by the petty demons for being so rude! In the cultivation world, even just glaring could get you killed. That is how harsh Su Yu's former world is. In there, either you are strong enough, or be old enough. For the former, your strength will make others fear you. For the latter, your age will make others respect you.

Even if the older ones are not strong, but age is one of the basic things used as a basis to show seniority. The other is one's relationship to each other. Of course, there is also strength. But sometimes, even the strongest has to bow down to the first two. The first one, the age, shows how long one has lived, and so have earned many kinds of experienced. For the second one, the relationship, family is a very tight bond. It was one of the things that are hard to let go of, unless you have a bad family and is resentful of them.

As for another thing that is hard to let go of, it is also related to relationship. And that is, a lover, where many cases are born as many kinds of resentments or grudges, as well as obsessions could stem from a lover. Anyway, it all boils down to one's emotions.

"Senior!" Duan Yuan cried, thinking that Su Yu was hurt. "Are you alright?" he asked, feeling worried.

Su Yu was pulled from his thoughts by Duan Yuan's voice. He turned and smiled. "Yes, I am fine." He answered.

Duan Yuan sighed in relief. He has seen a faint wisp of black 'smoke' inside the room before the door was closed. He wanted to go in again, but not only the door was already closed and he knows that it will be hard to go in again since the evil ghost will definitely stop him… Su Yu is also present. If he reveals his identity, which he should not since it is confidential, it would only bring trouble to Su Yu.

After all, exorcists only exists in fantasies. So just imagine if a real one suddenly appears. Even if the netizens call Su Yu as 'exorcist Su', but that was just a joke. They could call him that because they known that the exorcists are not real. (DY: I'm not here. I'm just a hallucination) Thus, Duan Yuan knows that he can't be impulsive.

"That's good." Duan Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He thought for a moment that the evil ghost would finally strike them.

Su Yu smiled. This junior is very thoughtful. He thought before he turned around. "Now, where should we go next?" he asked and raised his flashlight to illuminate the hallway, revealing another door just right across them. His entire being froze. "…" FCK!!! When did this door appear? He thought. His face was covered in black lines as he stared at the door in front of them.

Duan Yuan. "???" why did senior fall silent again? He thought, feeling puzzled.

Like Su Yu, the entire screen froze for a moment, before there was a barrage of exclamation points once again.

"AAAAAHHHH!!! Here it is again!!!"

"Sht! This jump scare, I swearrr!!! The best movie I have ever seen!"

"Upstairs, this isn't a movie, in case you are not sarcastic."

"But, if this becomes a movie, in case…"

"Shut up! This isn't the right time for movies right now! The anchor is in danger!!!!!"

"Fck! I almost peed in fright! That door was not there earlier, right?"

"It wasn't, I can swear on my grandma's teeth. Or if you want, on my father's hair."

"The door really wasn't there earlier. Trust in my eyes, please!"

"Why is it there now, then?"

"Is upstairs late? Or this is the first time that you watched Mo Yu's livestream?"

"There is a ghost, of course. Everyone now knows that there is a ghost in the Purple Old Manor."

"My mom who is watching this can testify that her group of friends also knows about the Purple Old Manor being evil."

"My grandma who can use Weibo has already posted about this."

"It must be the Weibo that my grandpa just liked…"

"The building is becoming crooked again… everyone, please focus on Mo Yu's livestream!"

"Back to the topic! Who knows when did the second door appeared? Please comment the timestamp."

"Upstairs, you said 'second door'… will there be a third door, then, that will appear in the hallway? Or fourth?"

"Just thinking about it makes my scalp feel numb… *trembling"
