Horror Camgirl - Ch. 140: Someone Is Missing
The retired Special Forces soldier immediately notified the boss and the police. The police arrived even faster than the boss. The two officers who responded watched the entire film along with him. When the last young person was killed, the movie ended.
After the movie ended, surprisingly, there were credits, but they only listed the names of the young victims. There was no mention of the killer.
Both the police and the retired Special Forces soldier were terrified. They eventually decided that every year on that particular day, not only would the cinema remain closed, but they would also deploy police around the cinema to ensure no one could approach it.
Unexpectedly, the news of this spread like wildfire, causing a huge sensation. Ironically, it made the cinema famous, attracting people from other counties, even from other provinces, who came specifically to watch a movie there.
But the cinema owner lived in constant fear every day. He was worried that one day, more young people might go missing, and no amount of money he made would be enough to cover the losses.
He was also very superstitious. In the last two years, his other businesses had been doing poorly, and he believed it was because the haunted cinema was bringing him bad luck. He had hired numerous masters to expel the spirits, but none had succeeded.
One day, by chance, he saw his son watching my live stream and left me a message saying that he was willing to pay a large sum of money for me to come to his cinema and do a live stream.
I had Tang Mingli contact him. Tang Mingli, being half a businessman himself, managed to negotiate a deal for ten million yuan, and we arranged to go to Longshan County three days later.
I prepared thoroughly, and then, traveling in Tang Mingli’s black Land Rover, we arrived at Longshan County. Mr. Fang, the owner of the cinema, personally greeted us and warmly treated us to a local specialty meal before leading us to the cinema.
The next day was the annual fire memorial day. A lot of police were stationed around the cinema. Boss Fang had already coordinated with the police, and it wasn’t difficult for him to take us past the security line.
The screening room used for the real-life horror movie varied each year, so I inspected them one by one. I could feel that the entire cinema was filled with a thick, chilling Yin energy that made the hair on my back stand on end.
When we got to Theater Three, I suddenly paused. Boss Fang quickly asked, “Streamer—no, Master, are you sensing something?”
I pushed the door open and entered. The Yin energy in this screening room was exceptionally dense. It seemed tonight it would be here.
I told Boss Fang to keep watch and not let anyone enter, then began setting up an array in the screening room.
That so-called real-life movie should be the ghost's Ghost Space. Killing it in the Ghost Space was extremely difficult; the only opportunity would be to capture it when escaping from the Ghost Space.
After everything was ready, Tang Mingli and I sat in our seats, quietly waiting.
Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and whispered, “Jun Yao, I don't think we've ever watched a movie together before.”
My cheeks flushed slightly, and I replied, “We're not a couple. Why would we watch a movie together?”
“Friends can also watch movies together,” he said seriously. Besides, maybe while watching, we could go from friends to something more, but that part he left unsaid.
I seemed to remember something and said softly, “I recall my very first movie was with my younger brother. An Yi worked at a courier company over summer break, saved up some money, and bought two tickets to take me to see a movie. I can’t even remember what the movie was about anymore, but I was really happy. At least someone in this world cared about me.”
He held my hand even tighter.
“Jun Yao, you’re no longer alone,” he said. “I will always be by your side, supporting you.”
Under the dim light of the cinema, I looked at his exceptionally handsome face, and a sudden surge of emotion rose within me.
Say yes to him. Just say yes, right now. Whatever reason he has for being close to me, he’ll certainly bring me happiness.
I clenched my fist.
In the end, those words remained unspoken.
Perhaps it was because of the bullying and disdain I had suffered since childhood that made me feel so inferior, so lacking in confidence. I could never believe that someone as good as him would be interested in someone like me.
At that moment, I suddenly heard faint footsteps. Tang Mingli also heard them. His face darkened, and he shouted towards the door, “Who’s there? Come out!”
“Ahem.” A young policeman walked in, speaking loudly, “Who are you people? What are you doing here? Don’t you know it’s dangerous here?”
I frowned slightly. This policeman… seemed a little too young.
Tang Mingli’s expression turned grim. “You’re not a policeman. Who are you?”
The young policeman seemed flustered, his gaze evasive, and said, “Who, who says I’m not a policeman?”
“Zhang Hua, why are you talking so much with them?” At that moment, two young people walked in, a boy and a girl. They looked like delinquents. The boy was wearing a casual tracksuit with a cap worn backward, while the girl had a nose ring and her long hair was styled like instant noodles.
I quickly stood up and said loudly, “Get out of here immediately. Don’t you know how dangerous this place is?”
The boy in the cap arrogantly replied, “Who do you think you are? This cinema belongs to my family. What right do you have to tell us to leave?”
I paused for a moment, then asked, “Are you Boss Fang’s son?”
“So what if I am?” he said, chin held high, full of attitude.
I said, “I’m the Horror Female Streamer. You’ve probably seen my live stream. Your father hired me.”
His demeanor changed instantly, and he said excitedly, “Oh, you’re the Horror Female Streamer? Then this must be Tyrant! You both look so different from the live stream!”
The other two young people were also excited. “Streamer, we’re all your viewers. We’re here to do our own live stream today too.”
My expression darkened further, and I spoke sternly, “I’ve said this in my live stream before: viewers should not imitate me. Every time I do a live stream, I’m walking the line between life and death. If you don’t care about your own lives, at least think about your parents!”
Before I could finish speaking, suddenly, with a snap, the lights in the screening room went out, and the screen lit up.
Boss Fang's son shouted excitedly, "Holy crap, it's actually real! I thought my dad was just hyping it up."
My face changed dramatically, and I said urgently, "You guys need to leave! If you don't go now, it'll be too late!"
Before I could finish, the space around us suddenly rippled like water, and I felt a bad feeling rising in my chest. I pushed the girl closest to me away forcefully.
The scene in front of me changed. The four of us were now standing in the middle of a dense forest. The night was dark, with a pale, eerie moon hanging high in the sky.
The two young guys were still yelling excitedly, "We actually made it into a horror movie, hahaha! We're gonna be famous! We're gonna be star streamers!"
"Huh?" The young man dressed in a police uniform, who had sneaked in pretending to be a cop, looked at his phone and said, "Weird, my phone has no signal. The live stream's down."
I rolled my eyes and said, "Of course it's down. We're in the Ghost Space. My live stream room is different from yours. Anyway, since you're here now, stay close to me! But remember, if we run into danger, I may not be able to save you."
The two of them laughed it off, not taking my words seriously at all.
I opened my live stream room, explained the situation, and then, with a cold expression, said, "To all my viewers, I am a cultivator. I've learned some spells, but doing this live stream is a life-or-death situation. Please, do not try this at home!"
【No way, are there actually idiots trying to mimic a ghost-hunting live stream?】
【Sigh, there have been a lot of ghost-hunting live streams on Hei YanTV lately, but none of them had real ghosts. It’s all sound effects trying to scare people—totally boring.】
【Someone even used special effects last time and got caught by viewers.】
【Honestly, it's not that easy for ordinary people to see ghosts, but there's always someone wanting to risk it all.】
【Streamer, forget about those two thrill-seekers and just focus on protecting yourself.】
My audience seemed pretty sensible, which made me feel a little better. Tang Mingli squeezed my hand and said, "Don't worry, you take care of yourself, I'll handle the rest."
I nodded, "Thank you."
Suddenly, Tang Mingli leaned down and kissed me on the lips. I was so shocked I froze, and the two young guys nearby started cheering.
【Wow, Tyrant's finally showing his CEO alpha vibes!】
【Tyrant, that's not right. You should've just pinned the streamer down!】
【Yeah, yeah! We want some bonus content!】
【Look at horror movies in the United States, which one doesn't have a bed scene? Without it, can you even call it a horror movie?】
【Pfft, Tyrant, move aside, I'm Team Mr. Yin all the way!】
【You dare break up my OTP?! Just wait until after school if you've got guts!】
"You, you shouldn't just ambush me like that!" I finally recovered and jumped to the side. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Okay, next time I'll make sure to tell you before I kiss you."
"You… That's not what I meant!" I jumped up angrily.
Tang Mingli laughed, "By the way, your lips are really soft—the sweetest dessert I've ever tasted."
【Tyrant's really smooth with the love lines. I swear, I'm falling for him.】
【Are you dumb? What does he mean by the sweetest dessert? Does that mean he's kissed a lot of women before?】
【Pfft, reading comprehension level: genius.】
【Isn't this supposed to be a ghost-hunting live stream? How did this turn into a prime-time soap opera?】
Suddenly, Tang Mingli's expression turned serious. He looked around and said, "I hear something."
A breeze, coming from who knows where, swept through the forest, making a low, eerie wailing sound. I motioned to the two young guys, "Let's find a safe place first. Stay close, and don't wander off."
Even though their live stream room couldn't connect, they were still holding their phones and cameras, laughing and recording, without any idea of how dangerous this place could be.
We moved through the dark forest, unsure of how long we had walked. Suddenly, a flock of birds, startled, flapped their wings and took off into the sky.
Right then, Little Fang's voice sounded from behind, "Streamer, Shi Xiu's gone!"
Shi Xiu was the young guy in the fake police uniform. I was startled and looked around, hurriedly asking, "When did he go missing?"
"Just now," Little Fang said anxiously, "He was right behind me the whole time. I was just about to ask him for a battery, and when I turned around, he was gone."
