I was slightly taken aback.
Right, I just mentioned wanting to leave a few corridor lights on for guidance, so why are they all out?
"Brother Xi, what happened?"
I lowered my voice and quietly asked Brother Xi.
There was silence in my earpiece.
I looked around; it was pitch black.
Only the flashlight in my hand emitted a faint glow.
In that dim light, I frowned.
What’s going on?
Why is there no sound?
I raised the flashlight and pointed it at myself, pretending not to notice the silence in the earpiece, and continued to interact with Bullet Screen.
"Come on, everyone, don’t scare me."
"I'm scared, so don't scare me."
The bullet screen was still going wild.
I raised my flashlight and pointed it ahead.
"Next, let's go up to the second floor and take a look."
Holding the flashlight, I walked forward.
The moment the light illuminated the steps, I froze.
On the steps, there was a large pool of blood.
It was dark in color.
From the shape, it looked like someone had died at the end of the stairs, with blood flowing down the steps.
I was stunned.
I remembered that just before turning off the lights, there hadn't been any bloodstains.
Could it be that Brother Xi and the others did this?
However, they didn't make any noise just now.
I steeled myself and carefully made my way up.
Every step was difficult.
To be honest, even though I knew it was fake, I still felt a bit scared looking at all this blood.
I climbed up with great effort.
Finally, I reached the second floor.
I let out a sigh of relief.
At the end of the bloodstains, there was no body.
Thank goodness, there was no body.
Even though I knew it was all part of the show, seeing with my own eyes that there was no body still relieved me.
I stood at the top of the stairs and swept my flashlight around.
The second floor was different from the first floor.
The first floor is decorated luxuriously, looking like a mansion.
The second floor is very minimalist, even appearing somewhat plain.
On both sides of the corridor, there are guest rooms.
They are densely packed, at least a dozen.
At first glance, it resembles a hotel, yet also somewhat like a dormitory.
"Strange."
I murmured softly, "Why does the second floor need security doors?"
Just then, my phone rang.
In the silent villa, the ringtone was particularly jarring.
I felt a bit confused.
Wasn't my phone on silent?
Perhaps I accidentally bumped it while changing clothes earlier.
But the Live Streaming is ongoing, and I can't ignore it.
I took my phone from under my arm and held it up to my face.
Caller ID: Brother Xi.
I was slightly taken aback.
Why is Brother Xi calling at this time?
"Brother Xi."
I answered the call, "What's up? The Live Streaming just started."
"Song, what are you doing?"
Brother Xi's voice was agitated, "The Live Streaming has disconnected, and you're still running to the second floor?"
"The Live Streaming disconnected?"
I was stunned, "No, it's fine... the Live Streaming is working perfectly..."
I looked down at the camera.
The camera was facing me.
In the Live Streaming screen, my face was pale.
The Bullet Screen was scrolling wildly.
“Host, run!”
“Host, don’t go up there!”
“Host, get away from that villa!”
Brother Xi was even angrier, “What are you talking about? The Live Streaming video and audio have both cut out. I’ve called you dozens of times in the earpiece, and you didn’t respond at all. Are you deaf?”
“What?”
I widened my eyes.
Cut off?
