I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

There were two more recordings, both of which were about the strange experiences of doctors and nurses. Everything pointed to the room at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor. In the first thirty minutes, Qin Tiantian was completely immersed in the movie. Like Lu Ban in the movie, she was attracted by the recordings and wanted to explore the hospital.

However, after the fifth recording finished playing, the screen suddenly went black.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Tiantian still didn't see the screen light up again.

"Could it be..."

She moved the mouse and saw the progress bar.

Goodness, this is a real horror story. The progress bar can't hold on any longer; it's reached its end.

What happened next?

She wasn't too scared anymore, so she jumped off the chair, but almost lost her balance and fell onto Lu Ban's bed.

"My legs, my legs are numb..."

Having remained curled up and been frightened, her legs were already weak and numb.

"Ouch……"

Qin Tiantian wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but suddenly felt as if her outstretched hand touched something furry.

She slightly closed her five fingers and clenched them.

"You secretly kept a cat behind my back?"

Qin Tiantian thought Lu Ban had really made something of himself, actually raising a cat.

She turned her head and saw a black mist swirling in her palm, like a wisp of smoke or a monster made of some kind of vine tentacles.

"!!!"

Qin Tiantian felt a tingling sensation spread from her palm that touched the mist to her whole body. It was as if she had been splashed with cold water. Her legs were no longer numb, and she felt a shiver run through her body. She immediately got up.

"Help! Help me!"

She rushed out of the room and saw Lu Ban playing games in the living room.

It has to be said that Lu Ban's gaming skills were really terrible; Qin Tiantian even forgot to be scared while watching him play.

"You're so bad at this."

She couldn't help but complain, then hurriedly ran to a spot away from the bedroom.

"There's...a lump of...something in your room..."

She couldn't find the right adjective and was momentarily speechless.

"Didn't I tell you? Those are our family's new friends. It seems you saw one of them, but there's probably another one sleeping under the bed."

Lu Ban put down the handle.

"...Your house is really starting to look like a horror movie set."

Qin Tiantian twitched her lips.

Normally, or in any other place, if Qin Tiantian encountered something like this, she would probably have run away at lightning speed by now.

But for some reason, it seems quite normal to encounter such things at Lu Ban's house.

It's a bit like seeing someone covered in blood, walking unsteadily, making weird noises, and dressed in tattered clothes on the street. You might think it's some kind of terrifying zombie incident, but if you saw them in an amusement park, you'd probably just think it's a highly skilled cosplayer.

"Well, you should have finished reading by now?"

Lu Ban asked another question.

Although he initially wanted to observe Qin Tiantian's reaction while watching the movie in order to adjust his own movie pace, after watching the first recording of the plot, Lu Ban found that she had curled up in a ball and seemed to be completely immersed in it, so he simply went to the living room to play games and relax.

"I've finished watching..."

Qin Tiantian answered once, and then immediately said something else.

"What happens next? There's nothing after that???"

"It's being done, it's being done."

Lu Ban immediately went back and created a new folder.

Chapter 159 Real Torture!

In the evening, Lu Ban was still working.

As for Qin Tiantian, the sound of her playing games in the living room had stopped sometime ago; she probably fell asleep.

Lu Ban checked the time; it was 6:30. Time to go downstairs for dinner.

Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; how can you have the strength to work if you don't eat your fill?

"The River of Oblivion?"

He called out as he put the computer to sleep, but received no response.

"Are you really asleep?"

Lu Ban arrived in the living room, only to find that Qin Tiantian was not curled up on the sofa sleeping with her beloved shark pillow.

She wasn't in the living room.

The game remains paused, with the shark-shaped plush pillow lying on the sofa and an air friend sitting next to it.

But Qin Tiantian has disappeared without a trace.

"Could it be..."

Lu Ban went to the restroom and took a look.

Lu Ban in the mirror appeared innocent; he knew nothing.

Back in the living room, Lu Ban asked his air friend a question, and at the same time noticed that the living room window had been opened at some point, and the curtains were moving with the wind, bringing a slight coolness.

Lu Ban slowly approached the window and heard what sounded like a noisy commotion downstairs.

Looking out the window, Lu Ban saw a group of elderly people gathered downstairs, discussing something.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell suddenly rang, and Lu Ban pulled his head back.

He went to the door and looked out through the peephole.

The hallway was empty; there was nothing there.

Ding-dong-

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang again.

Lu Ban opened the door.

"I'm exhausted, you really have to thank me!"

Qin Tiantian carried several bags of takeout boxes into the house.

"Did you go downstairs to buy takeout?"

Lu Ban asked a question.

"Yeah, I figured you must be really busy right now, working on the movie quickly, so I just went downstairs and bought dinner. How thoughtful of me?"

Qin Tiantian proudly puffed out her chest in a very considerate manner.

"?"

Lu Ban wondered if he shouldn't have shown this woman the parts he hadn't finished.

Now look what's happened, people are at home urging me to update.

"Oh right, I saw water chestnut cake downstairs! Water chestnut cake, did you eat it when you were little? I didn't expect to be able to eat this in Jiangcheng!"

Qin Tiantian shook the plastic bag she was carrying.

"Oh, so they sell water chestnut cake downstairs."

Lu Ban glanced downstairs again, then closed the window.

Qin Tiantian then set out takeout orders on the table. It seemed she had gone to the backstreet and bought snacks such as pan-fried buns, fruit porridge, barbecue, fried skewers, wontons, and grilled meat wraps.

And of course, there's water chestnut cake.

Lu Ban had eaten two kinds of water chestnut cake. One kind was similar to jelly, crystal clear, and the other kind was made by steaming water chestnut flour and glutinous rice flour with brown sugar. He was particularly impressed by the second kind, which was made in a pressure cooker using a special wooden vessel.

Qin Tiantian bought the second type.

In fact, Lu Ban couldn't remember where he had eaten this kind of water chestnut cake, and of course, he didn't know where Qin Tiantian had eaten it either.

The TV switched to the news, and the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room eating dinner.

"Sweet soda is definitely the happiest drink; sugar-free is heresy!"

Qin Tiantian gulped down a large glass of iced cola without worrying about consuming too much sugar.

Indeed, with her middle school student-sized frame, even if she gained weight, she would probably only reach the level of a high school student. Kids these days are so well-nourished, Qin Tiantian might not even be able to beat her.

The news broadcasts local news from Jiangcheng, including the previously demolished Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and the shopping mall next door.

According to our station, Jiangcheng Industrial, which acquired the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and Fulai Shopping Mall, announced yesterday its renovation plan for the two buildings. After demolition, a Jiangcheng City Museum will be built on the site to house artifacts and materials related to Jiangcheng's history collected by Jiangcheng Industrial, and will be open to the public free of charge...

Jiangcheng police recently announced the formal arrest of the suspect in the previous serial murder case in Jiangcheng. The interrogation is proceeding smoothly. Meanwhile, police officials reminded the public to be aware of their safety when traveling and not to go to secluded places alone…

"A rare sight has recently appeared at Heshan Botanical Garden: thousands of lavender plants have bloomed in late autumn. This unusual blooming phenomenon has attracted crowds of onlookers. According to experts at the botanical garden, the flowering period of lavender is affected by various conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light. Although blooming in autumn is unusual, it is still possible..."

"According to our overseas correspondents, the unusual storm that struck the Pacific Ocean recently has subsided, and the cruise ship 'Stars,' carrying 320 citizens of Jiangcheng, has docked. Some passengers witnessed the volcanic eruption and the formation of islands during the storm and captured images on camera. Our reporters will continue to follow up on the safety of the passengers on the cruise ship..."

"The botanical garden? I've been to Jiangcheng for so long and I've never been there."

Qin Tiantian ate her fruit ice porridge while reminiscing.

"You're not from Jiangcheng, and you didn't go to university here, so how did you get to Jiangcheng?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but ask.

He graduated from Jiangcheng University, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to stay here.
