Monster

Indeed, there is something terrifying that is behind Duan Yuan that the online audience couldn't see since the camera can't capture it. Meanwhile, Su Yu was taken aback when he saw it since he didn't expect to see it here. But fortunately, he reacted fast and told Duan Yuan to not move. And, what is even more fortunate is that this 'thing' that is behind Duan Yuan is not the real body. So, even if it attacks Duan Yuan, the injury that Duan Yuan would get should be lesser. Although, Duan Yuan will still be injured, and this thing is also troublesome to deal with.

Thinking this, Su Yu sighed in a dilemma. Not only he has to deal with this troublesome 'monster', but he also has to make sure of Duan Yuan's safety. After all, not only Duan Yuan is his boss's nephew, but Duan Yuan has become his responsibility now since he has brought him here.

In short, he can't let any accident fell on Duan Yuan.

"Senior." Duan Yuan called as a bead of cold sweat trickled down the side of his pale face. "Is there something behind me?" he asked, even though he knows it. He also heard Su Yu sighed, so there should be something. Also, Su Yu won't tell him to not move for no reason.

If only his eyes could see the physical world, he would have seen on the mirror that was behind Su Yu that there was a mass of something black that is wriggling behind him, which is hair-rising. It was grotesque.

Those thin black strips which should be its hands looked like the hands of the wronged souls in Hell that wanted to drag down whoever they could reach and grab. It was a disgusting, but also a chilling sight. This is why Su Yu was stunned earlier. Aside from Su Yu not expecting of its presence in this world, its appearance truly is… exceptional.

Su Yu can't tell Duan Yuan this, too. Fortunately though, Duan Yuan's is blind so he can't see this 'thing'.

"En." Su Yu answered in a low voice. He didn't dare tell Duan Yuan yet about the 'monster' behind him since one, Duan Yuan is timid. Especially that he is blind. Humans fear the unknown after all. What they don't see makes them feel more fearful.

As for the second reason, he has yet to think of a solution on how to take Duan Yuan away from his position without alerting the 'monster' behind him. It doesn't look like the 'monster' has noticed Duan Yuan yet. But, this doesn't mean that Su Yu can procrastinate. Instead, he has to think as fast as he could to save Duan Yuan.

Su Yu looked at his mobile phone, hoping to see if the online audience has a solution. But unfortunately, he saw in the comments that the online audience can't see what's behind Duan Yuan. He frowned, but there is nothing that he could do… or so he thought. He suddenly recalled something. It was from a move that he watched before.

Raising his mobile phone, Su Yu switched its camera to the front for the audience to see his face. But, he moved his hand to side so that the camera's angle could also see the mirror behind him. Now with this, Su Yu – on the mobile phone's screen, and the online audience saw that on the mirror behind Su Yu, there was that black mass behind Duan Yuan.

They could see its tentacle-like thin hands twisting behind Duan Yuan. Its size is of a toddler's. But, it is still frightening since it could swallow an adult like Duan Yuan in one strike with its mouth that even if blocked by Duan Yuan, they could see is very wide! Just like the monsters that they have seen in movies and TV dramas!

A second passed before the screen of Su Yu's mobile phone was filled with the familiar exclamation marks.

"!!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!!"

"FCK, what is that?!?!"

"Am I seeing things?! But it is extremely ugly!"

"No matter it is ugly, but it is very dangerous, okay? And it is behind the anchor's friend! No wonder why the anchor told his friend to not move!"

"If it was me in there, I would have long frozen on the spot…"

"If I were the anchor, I don't think I could react as fast as he did. I would have long screamed in terror. But fortunately, the anchor could still remain calm in that situation. Or else, he might have his friend killed by the monster if he screamed."

"What if you were the anchor's friend then, upstairs? What would you have done in that situation?"

"With my curiosity like a cat's, I don't think I will be able to obey the anchor's words and turn, which would cause me to die since I will definitely scream on top of my lungs and alert that monster, which would then kill me. I have to say that I admire the anchor, for his ability to remain calm and his quick thinking… and also the anchor's friend to be able to trust and obey the anchor in this kind of situation."

"Upstairs' words moved me… but I also feel the same way. The anchor and his friend's trust to each other is really touching, especially in this kind of situation which is not only scary and creepy and terrifying… but also very dangerous!"

"Returning to the topic, that thing behind the anchor's friend… is it really a monster?"

"Or else? Do you have any other word to identify it?"

"… that black mass of something really isn't a special effect… right?"

"How could it be a special effect? No company would make that ugly special effect, okay?"

"FCK! Is it really a monster?!"

…

The exorcists' faces turned black as they watched the livestream. This is a monster, alright… but not just an ordinary monster! From the books that they have read in their headquarters' library… that mass of black thing was identified as a demon!
