Diary

"Senior?" Duan Yuan nervously called when he didn't hear Su Yu speak after that. Was it because the Su Yu before him is really a ghost or an illusion? Or… was he really the real Su Yu and he is angry that he doubted him?

For the first time, Duan Yuan feels complicate emotions that he would never feel when he is on a mission to exorcise ghosts and other evil beings. He doesn't know whether he would feel happy that he has gotten it right if the Su Yu before him is really a ghost or an illusion. Or, he should feel sad and more panicked if this is actually the real Su Yu. Because he has offended Su Yu!

"Don't overthink." Su Yu spoke when he saw that Duan Yuan's brows are knitted and his silver pupils are filled with confusion and panic. "Don't be scared. I am your senior, Su Yu, from Y University. I am also the one who took you here…" he spoke before he leaned closer to Duan Yuan to whisper. "Your uncle is my boss and ordered me to take you here. My agent is Han Yao. Also…" he lowered his eyes. "Our first meeting is when I was stalked by a fan and you were the one who witnessed him stalking me and called for the mall's security guards to arrest him and send him to the police." He told Duan Yuan. "For that, I really thank you." He smiled.

Duan Yuan froze after he heard the words. But, there is also that feeling that suddenly sprouted in his heart. That time when Su Yu's breath, which was surprisingly warm unlike his body which is cold, touched his ears… his ears turned warm and slightly twitched.

What is this? Duan Yuan thought as his heart beat fast. He immediately suppressed it since this isn't the time to focus on his feelings. "E – en. I believe senior now." He answered. "That… I am really sorry." He apologized. "It's just – " he muttered.

Su Yu cut him off. "No need to explain. I understand. I am not angry." He told Duan Yuan and patted the other's shoulder to comfort him. "Were you injured somewhere?" he asked in concern.

Duan Yuan shook his head. "No." he answered.

"That's good." Su Yu sighed in relief. "Then, you rest here for now while I find a clue – " he said.

But Duan Yuan cut him off. "I found one." He spoke. Then, he raised the diary that he is holding. "Senior, I have read some of the contents but… anyway, senior, can you check if there is the name of the owner of the diary?" he asked.

"Okay." Su Yu nodded and did as Duan Yuan asked.

Duan Yuan has already found a clue in this diary so there is no need to hurry for Su Yu to read it. Instead, the name of the owner of the diary is more important.

"Hmm… I can't find any name." Su Yu frowned after he checked the cover and the inside cover of the diary. He also tried to check the contents, hoping to see a name. But, there was nothing aside from the entries which he immediately stored in his mind using a memory store spell.

"I also can't find it earlier." Duan Yuan said and sighed in disappointment.

Su Yu hummed as he flipped the pages, acting like he is reading the entries of the diary now.

"It is really the anchor's friend! I thought that it might be another illusion by the evil ghost!"

"Same. But, when the anchor's friend asked the anchor if it was really the anchor, I then confirmed that it was really the anchor's friend. He is really alive! Thank gods!"

"Fortunately, the anchor's friend is alive! The anchor would be really sad if his friend met a mishap. The anchor would definitely blame himself and live in guilt!"

"That's right. But, Heaven should know to protect the innocents, so the anchor's friend is alive."

"Yes. The Heaven is really fair!"

"But what's amazing is that the anchor's friend has found a clue!"

"Yes… and a diary… this is one of the common things that can be found in horror movies that contain clues to solve the mystery in the movie!"

"Yeah… I love the ones who have reversals, though!"

"But some horror movies are lame though. The reversals became a letdown and boring. Not to mention the plot holes!"

"I wonder what the diary says…"

"I hope that the reality would be different from the fictional movies…"

"Upstairs, if what you said would happen, then won't the anchor and his friend would be in trouble?"

"We know that the best or good horror movies, when they have diaries and the diary reveals a reversal… it would definitely not be good to the main characters in the movie."

"Yes. After all, the reversals would not only make the movie feel more exciting… but is also unfriendly to the main characters since they would definitely have to run for their lives. Because reversals are, after all, something unexpected… and also something hidden in the movie that the main characters either have yet to find… or already found (seen) yet never thought that it would be 'it' – the culprit."

"FCK! I didn't mean it!"

"It's fine… it is not like fiction would become a reality – " the other netizens comforted. But, they didn't think that they would be slapped* fast in their faces.

*not literally; they were proven to be wrong

"Huh? These words… 'they'… 'scary'?" Su Yu muttered when he found two strange words.

"Senior also found it." Duan Yuan smiled. "I thought that there might be a typo here, considering that the owner was a child. There is also the matter of his handwriting that might become messy and so, unreadable." He spoke. "But… the two words… they should not be typos. And – " he lowered his gaze. " – for such surprisingly neat handwriting to become like that… I suppose…" he faced Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded. "The child was frightened." He said.
