After being linked to the merit system, I became an internet sensation through live streaming.

Chapter 63 Nighttime Investigation of the Lake (Part 1)

"Get lost, I'm not in the mood for jokes right now!"

Su Shaoan is now worried not only about this matter, but also about the strange events in Wangshan Village.

Maybe I shouldn't have told Su Yixuan about this!

It's too late to regret it now; I can only hope that I can protect her on that day.

It was almost eleven o'clock when I left the police station.

Mo Mei helped Yang Qin up, said goodbye to Su Yixuan, and then got into her private car and went home.

Su Yixuan stretched and loosened her muscles, feeling uncomfortable in her Chanel-style outfit.

"Shall I take you back?"

Su Yixuan declined Mo Lijiu's suggestion: "The night is beautiful, I'll take a walk!"

Mo Lijiu looked around and saw that there were neither stars nor moon, only dim streetlights that seemed to be on but not going out. Where was the beauty of the night?
"It's too late. Aren't you scared, you're a girl all alone?"

Su Yixuan laughed and said, "Am I the one who should be afraid? My live stream time today is not long enough, I need to go do something."

Mo Lijiu sighed helplessly, "Then I'll stay with you!"

"You won't be of any use following me!" After all, you're just a mortal with no cultivation.

"Who hid my aunt and the others behind me just now?"

"Uh!"

That's because I was thinking of using your Ghost King power to intimidate that old ghost in a moment of crisis!
But you can't say that!
"Fine, you can come along then!"

Su Yixuan compromised.

Just as she was about to leave, a dark shadow was rushing towards her.

Su Yixuan grabbed its tail and lifted it up: "You're quick to dodge, what's the use of keeping you!"

The little fox protested, crossing its tiny paws over its chest: "It was just a reflex. I realized what was happening shortly after I ran out. That old ghost may seem arrogant and domineering, but he's just a paper tiger. The little girl's body he took over doesn't match his soul power at all. So I ran back quickly to protect you!"

"So, you only came back after we were all done? Where was the speed of light when you ran away?"

"I just ran into something over there and got delayed a bit!"

Speaking of this, the little fox struggled and jumped into Su Yixuan's arms: "I'll take you somewhere!"

Su Yixuan happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so she and the little fox headed east.

The further we walked, the more remote the area became, and we could hardly see any pedestrians, only the small groves of trees with ghostly shadows on both sides of the road.

It was very quiet all around, so quiet that only the sound of two people's footsteps could be heard.

Even the usual summer sounds of insects chirping and frogs croaking are nowhere to be heard.

After walking along the gravel path along the edge of the slippery road, you will soon see a large man-made lake.

Under the hazy moonlight, the lake surface shimmered with an eerie, deep blue hue.

The little fox raised its bamboo paw and pointed to the center of the lake.

Su Yixuan then noticed that there was a building shaped like a giant ship in the center of the lake.

It's too far away to see clearly, but my intuition tells me it's a fun place.

Su Yixuan thought the environment here was nice, so she quickly took out her phone and opened the live stream.

"Dear fellow gossip enthusiasts, gather around!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the number of people quickly increased.

【Master Streamer, I'm about to go to sleep!】

[Speaking of which, that auntie's daughter is gone just like that. How difficult her life must be now! Has the child's father arrived?]

Su Yixuan shook her head: "They didn't come. There's a younger brother in his third year of junior high school who needs to be taken care of. Probably out of consideration for his feelings, the couple plans to keep this a secret for now."

[Sigh, kids these days are so competitive! Every family wants their children to succeed!] [Is the streamer going to take us on an adventure game? That scene that flashed by just now looked a bit like a lakeside courtyard? ???]

[Yes, yes, I also wanted to ask if this is the lakeside courtyard I know!]

Su Yixuan wasn't familiar with this place, so she quickly asked, "Which lakeside courtyard? What's going on?"

It's said that this was once a farmhouse restaurant invested in by a wealthy businessman, but shortly after its opening, customers began disappearing one after another. The then-famous internet celebrities, the "Five Golden Flowers," vanished here and their whereabouts remain unknown.

Even so, their business remained thriving, with many people coming specifically to experience their dining environment. It wasn't until the owner was dismembered and his remains were hung on the gate that the lakeside courtyard disappeared from public view.

[Last time, a fearless adventurer went in to do a live stream, and he scrambled out, almost mentally unstable, constantly muttering that there were ghosts!]

As she spoke, Su Yixuan had already circled around to the front of the small courtyard in the middle of the lake.

It is indeed shaped like a boat, and at first glance, all you see are ancient houses.

There is a small wooden bridge in the shape of a "Z" on the lake, which winds its way to the front of the small courtyard in the middle of the lake.

[Host, maybe we should go back! It's too creepy!]

[The streamer absolutely cannot go back; let's take the kids in and broaden their horizons! I've never seen what it's like inside!]

Then, various gifts flooded the screen.

Su Yixuan was in a bad mood tonight. She was having a hard time, and neither were the things around her.

So she smiled and said, "Tonight I'll be an adventure streamer and take you guys on a trip!"

Mo Lijiu seemed to sense that Su Yixuan was in a bad mood, and touched the top of her head.

Su Yixuan rolled her eyes at him: "Are you comforting a puppy? Always patting its head?"

"You're much cuter than a puppy!"

He rattled off cheesy pickup lines without batting an eye, and Su Yixuan blushed: "You smooth talker, get out of here!"

[Aww, suddenly a jar of dog food fell from the sky!]

[Master Streamer, when will you officially announce it? Let me see what makes him better than my police officer, that he actually outshines him!]

[The police officer is the streamer's adopted brother! Do you CP fans have no bottom line?]

An adopted brother isn't a biological brother!

That seems to make some sense!

Su Yixuan really didn't know how netizens' amazing thought processes led them to turn the topic to her personal issues.

I won't participate in the discussion blindly, lest it derail the thread.

The wooden plank bridge wasn't as sturdy as it looked; it creaked and groaned when you walked on it.

Finally, we stepped onto the edge of the wooden boat.

Only then did I realize that the lakeside courtyard was actually quite large, like a large, ancient manor standing alone in the darkness.

Looking at it, there's no doubt that a few bats or crows will fly out in a moment.

The mottled iron fence was covered with withered branches and leaves of ivy, hanging crookedly on the iron hooks.

A rotten wooden sign hangs above, from which one can vaguely make out the words "No Trespassing" written in large red paint.

The two large doors were fastened together by a thick, rusted iron chain, but a large gap had been deliberately pushed open at the bottom, large enough for an adult to pass through.

Su Yixuan took out a mini flashlight from her bag and shone it on as she explained, "The whole house seems to be shrouded in black mist; it certainly looks very ominous. Tonight, we'll go in and investigate carefully to see what exactly happened!"

"Next, I will tell you about the details of this house."

Wow, I'm a little excited!

[Go, Master Streamer! We can't wait!]
