Lure

In the Purple Old Manor.

Su Yu stared at the demon behind Duan Yuan while his mind is spinning fast. He has to think of a solution on how to save Duan Yuan but without exposing his identity. He is thinking of making a distraction to lure the demon away. But, where can he lure the demon in this closed and small space?

Su Yu heaved an inward sigh as he slowly lowered his hand so that his upper face won't be captured by the camera. But, the angle could still show the reflection of the demon in the mirror. As to why Su Yu has to lower the mobile phone in his hand, it is because he can't let the audience see his eyes that are glowering red, and now could better clearly see the demon behind Duan Yuan.

"Junior. Let senior think of a solution first." Su Yu told Duan Yuan to appease him. This poor young man must be very scared right now. "Just don't move from your spot." He told him in case Duan Yuan's legs would weaken due to fear and he collapsed.

Well, even though it is not that exaggerated that Duan Yuan would collapse from fear, but he is indeed scared right now.

"… en." Duan Yuan answered and nervously gulped down. He has never experienced something like this before when he has hunted ghosts and monsters.

The one behind him, whatever it is, is in an entirely different level than those ghosts and monsters that he has encountered so far. He could feel the threatening aura coming from it that wanted to suppress him. So, even if Su Yu won't say to not move, he really won't move since he couldn't move right now. He feels that the blood in his body was frozen cold by the power emanating from the thing behind him. It was going to devour him!

Even though it wasn't obvious, but his back is now drenched in sweat despite the cold temperature of the room. This shows how nervous he is. After all, he knows his strength, and he can perceive that whatever is behind him is beyond his capability. So, he can only leave this matter to Su Yu, like letting him distract whatever it is behind him to leave.

As long as whatever this thing behind him leaves… he can attack it! Even if his identity will be exposed to Su Yu, as well as the online audience, but this is a life and death situation! He can feel that as long as he makes a move, this thing behind him will kill him if it notices him. So, as long as this thing will be distracted by Su Yu, he will launch an attack on it and kill it as much as he could.

After all, this is a threat to his and Su Yu's safety in the Purple Old Manor. As long as this thing is not killed, it will definitely come back later to haunt him and Su Yu. Fortunately, Su Yu noticed it at this early in time. Or else, Duan Yuan fears that he would have already died without knowing what killed him or noticed it. One's life is more important than his (DY) identity.

Su Yu took a deep breath as he crooked the finger of his other hand. From its fingertip came out a reddish air tinged with some black. It was his demonic power. As if the demon behind Duan Yuan noticed it, its entire body squirmed. But, before it could notice where the demonic power came from, Su Yu immediately flicked his fingers towards the cabinet, which is open.

The next second, everyone in the livestream saw that behind Duan Yuan, the 'monster' finally moved!

"AAAAHHH!!! It moved! It moved!"

"What is it going to do?!?!?!"

"How is the anchor's junior?! Is he alright?!"

Rows of comments stating concern for Duan Yuan can be seen. But, Su Yu has no time to read them. He threw his selfie stick containing his mobile phone and rushed towards the cabinet as soon as the demon entered it. Then, he caught each door of the cabinet before he immediately closed the cabinet, then locked it from outside!

As if not enough, he pulled the chair near him using his foot and used it to keep the doors of the cabinet from opening.

"Senior…?" Duan Yuan called when he heard Su Yu's footsteps. He heaved a sigh of relief when he couldn't feel the thing behind him anymore. He felt that the pressure surrounding his body has disappeared as soon as the thing behind him left. The ring on his finger doesn't feel that hot anymore.

Duan Yuan then had a sudden thought that maybe what happened was just a dream. But, the sear on his ring finger that still stings right now is a proof that what happened just now happened and was not just his illusion or dream – well, precisely, nightmare.

Su Yu's words confirmed it.

"Sorry. Just now I had to trap that thing inside the cabinet so that it won't be able to escape and haunt us again." Su Yu escaped as he wiped the sweat on the side of his face. Just now, he used a little of his power to lure the demon in the cabinet. Then, when it rushed inside, he immediately took back his power.

Fortunately, this demon is brainless and reacted slow after the demonic power inside the cabinet disappeared. So, Su Yu, who has fast reflexes, managed to trap it inside the cabinet. Even though it looked easy, but it is actually hard since he has to move fast, simultaneously taking back his power while trapping the demon.

Had it been a smart demon, then Su Yu fears that things won't be successful as it is now.

BANG! As Duan Yuan was still recovering from his shock, he heard a loud noise. "Was it that thing?" he asked Su Yu when they heard the loud noise again, as if something was hitting a wall.
