Chapter 730 World 265
Chapter 730 World 265
Perhaps because Ke Xue had questioned him in person, the butler quickly led him to a small door.
When the door opened, Shen Ruyin couldn't help but exclaim, "Did they build a forest in their own home?"
It's just a forest, isn't it? Tall trees cleverly block out the outside light, and the only path is lined with bamboo.
When you reach the end of the path, another house appears, almost entirely covered by trumpet vines and ivy.
The public chat was in chaos, with all sorts of comments.
[Good heavens, bamboo, trumpet vine, Virginia creeper—this house will be impossible to sell; it'll be stuck with me forever.]
[The building in front looks nice, but this one in the back looks like a haunted house.]
[Yeah, it looks really creepy, even in the middle of summer, it gives off a chilling feeling.]
When Shen Ruyin saw this comment, she read it aloud: "It's so cool now, I don't even need to turn on the air conditioner. My nose gets so dry when I turn on the air conditioner too much."
[That's true, this kind of natural breeze is the most comfortable. It's just that we need to clean up those decaying leaves on the ground, otherwise it'll smell bad and attract bugs.]
[After cleaning up and setting up the tent, it brought back childhood memories. I suggested we leave this to the old scientist, and just enjoy ourselves!]
[Hey Keke, remember to put a bowl of water in the room when you turn on the air conditioner, so it won't dry out.]
Seeing that the public chat had been swayed by Shen Ruyin's words, and that the housekeeper had opened the small door of another building, all her efforts were in vain.
[Return, return, return!]
[What is this? It's so ugly!]
[Wow, now I believe what the old scientist said wasn't wrong. If this isn't a cult hideout, I'll wash my hair upside down!]
Seeing that things were not going well, Shen Ruyin's brain worked at high speed and she immediately said, "This looks like a prank prop for a haunted house."
Thinking about it this way, the sudden attack of seeing a skeleton upon opening the door doesn't seem so scary anymore?
[Just kidding, a cult hidden in a wealthy neighborhood (deleted) → A large-scale live-action haunted house (just kidding)]
[Oh no...][Funny.jpg]
[This analogy suddenly seems more interesting.]
The response in the public chat was positive; Ming Shen and Yeshen even went on mic to chat and interact with the other players.
Night God said, "This door-opening kill is nothing. I went to a place before and there was a direct back-turn kill. You turned around suddenly and there was that thing standing behind you, with ghostly blue flames. That was really scary."
Ming Shen said with some disdain, "It's not real, I don't know what you're afraid of."
[Alright, the leopard and cat are chatting again. Let's go back to old science; this stuff in the hallway looks really creepy.]
[Exactly, no matter where you look, it's like they're staring at us.]
“I know, I know,” Shen Ruyin said in a quirky voice, “The boss said it’s a psychological suggestion.”
"By using the environment and the items placed inside, psychological suggestions are created for people, and then words or other means are used to break down their psychological defenses, so that bad people can easily take advantage of the situation."
Ming Shen immediately praised, "Keke is really amazing, she even knows about psychological suggestion."
Upon hearing this, both the microphone and the chat on the public screen paused for a moment.
Shen Ruyin reminded her, "Aunt Ming, although Keke's true form in the broadcast room is a cotton doll, Keke is already an adult underneath."
"Mmm, I know, I know," Ming Shen said, presenting several generous gifts. "Little one, you only need to say this once, don't say it again, okay?"
"Anyway, in the world of anime, you're my kid."
This……
Shen Ruyin finally understood that Ming Shen didn't really treat her like a clueless child; he simply liked the character of Keke.
Adhering to the idea that money talks, Shen Ruyin readily agreed: "Okay, I'll remember. Thank you Aunt Ming for the pocket money, mua~"
"Oh my," Ming Shenhua said, her voice sweet as honey, every word laced with laughter, "You're such a good boy, you even know how to stick close to your auntie."
For some reason, Yagami also offered several gifts: "I want some too."
[Now I understand, they're a family of three, and we and the old scientist were adopted.][doge.jpg]
[I'll definitely screenshot this sentence and send it to the old scientist so he can see how great the fatherly love of these adoptive fathers is, and that we're the only ones still paying attention to him.]
[Hey, isn't anyone going to discuss the old science corridor? There are so many dark-themed decorations and talismans there.]
[After accepting the premise that this is a large-scale reality haunted house, the sense of horror suddenly disappeared.][Yellow Bean Man looks a bit weathered, smoke.jpg]
[Yeah, this is nothing compared to the haunted house thing. It's not even as good as the couples in the live stream.]
“What’s so interesting about talismans?” Night God said disdainfully. “They’re either missing limbs or just scribbles. They’re completely useless and just filler.”
"You can find a whole bunch of this stuff online for just a few dollars."
No one questioned Ye Shen in the public chat; instead, they laughed and started taking screenshots and sending them to the group chat, where everyone played a game of spot the difference.
However, Shen Ruyin's impression of Ye Shen changed.
She thought Night God was just an ordinary rich tycoon, but she didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable about talismans. Even in a live stream, he could see the problems with the talismans around Ke Xue.
Shen Ruyin stroked her chin, judging from the reactions in the live stream, they probably all knew something.
So, what about the place Yagami mentioned going to play? Could it not be a haunted house, but a place with will-o'-the-wisps...? Are they really will-o'-the-wisps?
Perhaps we should wait until Ke Xue returns and ask him.
The camera footage shows Ke Xue being led around in circles by the butler. When Ke Xue yawned and said he was sleepy and asked how much longer it would take, the butler suddenly stopped talking.
Shen Ruyin and the others were just as bewildered as Ke Xue, who was wearing a camera: "Why are you looking at me? Why aren't we leaving?"
Although she couldn't see the butler's face, Shen Ruyin could feel his sense of frustration even through the screen.
[I must say, this NPC's acting is pretty good; it's so genuine and realistic!]
[Seriously, you're really treating this like a haunted house livestream?][laughing and crying emoji]
Manrou: [What is this live stream for?]
[Hey, newbie upstairs! Follow me so you don't get lost. This streamer broadcasts everything, today's theme is haunted house adventure.][doge.jpg]
[A fantastic haunted house adventure, the upstairs is brilliant.]
The live stream was instantly filled with laughter because of this newcomer, turning into a sea of joy.
Shen Ruyin missed the earlier part of the story and had to scroll up the comments section before she found the newcomer.
She didn't see anything special and was about to swipe away when she suddenly noticed the newcomer's name.
Manrou.
Shen Ruyin's first thought was—Zhao Manrou is using her real name online?
She quickly dismissed her guess. "It's probably fake. These two words aren't patented. Others can't use them. Maybe it's someone else."
She thought this to herself, but couldn't resist clicking on the name with her mouse.
The information that popped up was ordinary, but when you scrolled down the works on the homepage, there was one that showed the real person. Although half of the face was covered, Shen Ruyin already had the answer to her guess.
Okay, these days, there are still people who use their real names to access the internet.
Isn't this one?
