On the other side, those who had purchased talismans from me and He Ying kept their Exorcism Talismans close at night, while placing the Calming Talismans under their pillows.
Most people did not take the talismans seriously. As the night passed without incident, they began to doubt whether they had been scammed.
However, a few individuals encountered malevolent spirits, and their talismans helped them avert crises at crucial moments.
At ten o'clock that night, Wu Jie accompanied the two female streamers to find Tian Long and the others. He initially intended to help ease the tension between them, but when he found Tian Long and his companions, he discovered they were once again courting disaster.
Previously, during a live stream, Tian Long and his group had been scared off by a Soul from the Event Site, leading their viewers to label them as cowards.
To prove their bravery, Tian Long and his friends decided to sneak into a funeral home at night to create some excitement for their live stream.
“Everyone, take a good look! This is a genuine funeral home. Tonight, I’ll show you what true courage looks like!” Tian Long declared confidently, shining his flashlight around. Behind him were the two Male Anchors and seven or eight bodyguards dressed in black, though the bodyguards were not captured on the live stream.
The two Male Anchors were named Li Shengwu and Sun Qiang. Li Shengwu, who had previously kissed Tian Long, clung to Tian Long's arm and said in a flamboyant tone, “Tian Long, this funeral home is safe, right? I'm so scared; you have to protect me!”
Tian Long shot Li Shengwu an annoyed glare and forcefully shook off his hand. “Li Shengwu, if you keep getting handsy with me, I swear I’ll take you down. Let me make this clear: I’m not gay and I don’t swing that way. If you’re looking for that kind of thing, go find Sun Qiang.”
Sun Qiang shook his head in disbelief. He patted Li Shengwu on the shoulder and chuckled, “Li Shengwu, you have to understand that this is Tian Long’s first time coming out; he’s still a rookie and might be shy. If you really want to get with him, wait until after the stream ends.”
Sun Qiang lowered his voice intentionally so that only Li Shengwu and the viewers in his stream could hear him; Tian Long remained oblivious.
Li Shengwu’s eyes sparkled with understanding as he gave Sun Qiang a thumbs up and said with a grin, “Sun Qiang, you really know your stuff! Now I get it. Thanks!”
As the three of them walked deeper into the funeral home, they noticed the temperature dropping significantly. They could all see their breath in the cold air.
Tian Long stopped in his tracks, shining his flashlight on an iron door not far ahead. "Brothers watching the live stream, with the temperature this low, that room up ahead is likely the Body Storage Room," he said.
Earlier, they had passed by several rooms, all of which were empty and devoid of any corpses. This time, however, Tian Long and his friends were determined to find a body to test their courage; they wouldn't leave without one.
"Brothers, let me show you what a real man is like!" Tian Long declared confidently. He grabbed a steel pipe from one of the bodyguards and kicked open the iron door, rushing into the Body Storage Room.
Li Shengwu and Sun Qiang also took steel pipes for protection from the bodyguard and followed closely behind Tian Long into the Body Storage Room.
Inside, they saw steel cabinets designed for storing bodies lining both sides of the room, with cold mist seeping through the gaps. In the center of the room were seven or eight tables, three of which had black body bags laid out on them.
Tian Long approached one of the tables and poked at a black bag with his steel pipe. "Old pals, this bag feels full; there’s definitely a corpse inside. If anyone's scared, you can leave now. I'm about to open this bag to see what's inside."
Then he turned to Li Shengwu and Sun Qiang, waving them over. "You two come here quickly; there are exactly three bags. Each of us will take one. When I give the command, we'll open them together."
Li Shengwu and Sun Qiang nodded. Though they felt a bit frightened, they stood in front of a body bag each.
Once everyone was in position, Tian Long said, "On the count of three, we’ll pull these bags open. Ready? One, two, three! Pull!"
With a soft rustling sound, all three bags were pulled open simultaneously, revealing the corpses inside.
There are specific protocols for storing bodies in the Body Storage Room. Newly arrived corpses are first placed on those tables until staff members clean them up and replace any missing parts with prosthetics before preparing them for viewing and placing them into the cabinets on either side.
In front of Tian Long was a bag containing an elderly man with a head full of white hair. His expression in death was peaceful; he had just been sent over from the hospital, having died of old age.
"What’s going on? It’s just an Old Man. I was ready to toughen up a bit, but it seems there’s no chance for that now," Tian Long said, shaking his head in displeasure. He turned to the other two and asked, "What do you have in your bags?"
Sun Qiang's face looked somewhat grim. His bag contained the body of a woman in her thirties. The corpse appeared mostly intact, but a rope was wrapped tightly around her neck, and her eyes were bloodshot, bulging out of their sockets. It was clear she had hanged herself.
The moment Sun Qiang opened the bag, he noticed the woman's eyeballs move slightly, as if she had glanced at him. That gaze sent chills down his spine, rendering him completely motionless.
"Ah! Tian Long, I'm so scared! Come protect me!" Li Shengwu screamed as he rushed to Tian Long's side, gripping his arm tightly and refusing to let go.
After calming himself down a bit, Li Shengwu pointed at the open bag and stammered, "The child is missing. When I opened the bag just now, I clearly saw a child inside, but suddenly that child disappeared."
"Are you seeing things? The person is dead; how could their body just run away?" Tian Long said skeptically as he pulled Li Shengwu toward the table. Once they reached it, Tian Long peered into the black bag and found it completely empty—there was no corpse inside.
"How is this possible?" A look of fear flashed in Tian Long's eyes as every hair on his body stood on end.
