Don’t Move

"This is a woman's room." Su Yu spoke after he found a set of makeup in one of the drawers. There are also lipsticks and other kinds inside.

"I think I have found a high-heeled shoe…" Duan Yuan said as he fumbled his way around. "And… a flat sandal." He said as he raised what he is holding.

Su Yu raised his flashlight and saw that they are indeed of women's shoes. "So, this is really a woman's room…" he muttered as he looked around. Looking closely now, he saw that the design looked softer than the minimalist design of the first room. Thinking this, he told Duan Yuan. "The first room is of a man's, though." He said.

Duan Yuan nodded in agreement when he recalled that he has touched a necktie earlier when they opened the wardrobe. But, because of what happened earlier about the candelabra, he has forgotten to tell Su Yu about it. As for Su Yu, he was also the same. The candelabra's light dimming suddenly caught them off-guard earlier. So, both of them forgot to tell each other.

But, while Duan Yuan was rummaging through the wardrobe, his expression looked calm. But, not the audience, though, since it was really nerve-wracking for them. After all, the wardrobe is one of the places where the movie characters hide as it is large and could fit a human body. Well, thinking here, the wardrobe is also one of the places to hide a corpse. Thus, it is one of the musts when making a horror movie.

Anyway, coupled with Su Yu's god-level camera maneuvering, the audience who are watching the livestream in the first perspective mode feel more immersed with the livestream and thought that they are in the Purple Old Manor, too, exploring it. Or, if the livestream is a movie, they would feel like they are one of the movie characters. The mobile phone camera is like a virtual reality goggles, to which makes them feel more engaged with the livestream.

"We found a picture frame of a family in the first room… is there one, too, in here?" Duan Yuan wondered as he copped around the room.

"There is none." Su Yu answered.

"What?" Duan Yuan muttered and turned to face him. "None?" he was surprised.

"Yeah." Su Yu nodded as he aimed his flashlight on top of the drawer.

"Yeah, the anchor is right! There is really no picture frame on the drawer, or anywhere else!"

"What does this mean?"

"It means that if the first room, which is a man's room, has a picture frame of the family, while the second room, which is of a woman's room, has none, then the man values the family more than the woman?"

"Upstairs might be right. But, we can't eliminate the fact that the picture frame in the woman's room could be stolen?"

"If it was, who could have stolen it?"

"The clues are still lacking…"

Su Yu turned his gaze from his mobile phone to Duan Yuan who is still looking for more clues. "Junior." He called. "Don't move." He suddenly said.

"Huh - ?" Duan Yuan muttered. But, even if he is puzzled by what Su Yu said, he still didn't move.

"Huh? Why did the anchor tell his friend to not move?"

"Yeah. Isn't his friend helping him look for more clues? Even if he is blind."

"This anchor is treating his friend like a dog!"

"Huh? Black fans, I thought you were already gone? To sleep? Forever."

"Hahahaha sleep forever"

"Sleep forever +1"

"Sleep forever +2222"

"Sorry to break the formation, but I still want to ask again. Why did the anchor have his friend not move, though?"

"Yeah. I also want to know."

"Guys, remember. The horror movies that you watched… do you think the scene is familiar?"

"Upstairs, I now recall… that scene where the protagonist told his friend to not move. The reason is – "

"What are you talking about? I am now scared!"

"What's the reason?"

"What's the reason? +ID number"

"Well, the reason is that the protagonist, or in this case, the anchor, must have found something. As for what it is, it has something to do with where his friend is currently standing. As to why, either that there is a trap, or that – "

"Or that, something has appeared… anyway, it means that his friend must be in danger!"

The netizens are really smart, since that is really what the situation that Duan Yuan is currently in. Su Yu was reading the online comments earlier when he suddenly sensed something. He immediately turned, only to see that there was something behind Duan Yuan.

Duan Yuan was puzzled earlier why Su Yu told him to not move, but he immediately reacted fast since he suddenly sensed something. He doesn't know what it is. It is not evil qi, so it shouldn't be the evil ghost… but, this 'thing' makes him feel extremely uncomfortable. Even if he couldn't see it with his eyes that are special, but he could feel it. And it was near… very near which made him shock, since he didn't notice when did it creep towards him. His ring also reacted late as him, that is why he reacted late.

But, Su Yu must have seen something that is why Su Yu told him to not move. And with Su Yu's silence again, Duan Yuan confirmed that there is indeed something inside the room which should be… terrifying.

"Why is the anchor silent?"

"The friend also didn't move… he should trust the anchor that much to obey the anchor even if he doesn't know the reason why the anchor told him to not move."

"But, why is the anchor not moving, too? If I just don't see the barrage, I would think that I am looking at a still image."

"Could it be… that there is something behind the anchor's friend?"

"If there is, then we should see it."

"But… what if even the camera couldn't capture it, so we couldn't see it?"

"…"

"…"

"…" FCK! They collectively cursed in their minds while clutching their chests in horror.
