I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

More than an hour later, Lu Ban finished his studies and prepared to go to sleep.

Turning my head, I saw that Qin Tiantian was fast asleep, her clothes hanging down, revealing her smooth shoulders. She was probably so nervous after all these events that she quickly became tired once she relaxed.

She took up most of Lu Ban's bed, like a wanton cat.

"never mind……"

It's perfectly reasonable for Lu Ban to not dwell on his troubles, to be kind to others, and to provide shelter for the frightened girl.

He lowered the chair, grabbed a blanket, and prepared to lie down on it for the night.

Just as Lu Ban closed his eyes, he remembered that there was still one thing he hadn't done.

He opened his computer's music player, selected the Spring Festival Gala playlist, and played it.

"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight, no matter where you are in the world..."

The melodious singing of the People's Artist had just begun when Qin Tiantian, who had been lying in bed, was startled awake.

She looked blankly at Lu Ban, then at the computer media player.

"...You listen to this sleep aid so late at night?"

Chapter 032 I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep

"Don't you like this song? Then I'll choose another one."

Lu Ban immediately changed the song, and a tender child's voice sang out a gentle melody.

"A wide river flows, the wind carries the fragrance of rice blossoms to both banks..."

"no……"

"This is the call of the heart, this is the dedication of love, this is..."

"wrong!"

"You are like a fire in winter, your blazing flames warm my heart..."

That's not what I meant!

Qin Tiantian interrupted Lu Ban's song change.

"Can you sleep at night if you listen to this?"

She had heard of people falling asleep by counting horses jumping, of people falling asleep to the sound of thunder and rain, and of people snoring after closing their eyes for three seconds, but falling asleep to this Spring Festival Gala playlist was a first for her.

And these songs are all from thirty or forty years ago, right?

He's older than Lu Ban.

It is said that when God opens a door for someone, He closes another window.

It makes sense that Lu Ban, who is so handsome, doesn't have a girlfriend or even a girl by his side.

Qin Tiantian thought of it.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep if I don’t listen to these things.”

Lu Ban explained in a serious tone.

"?"

Qin Tiantian was taken aback.

How else could I not be able to sleep? With this music playing, who the hell could possibly fall asleep!

"Are you sure you want to turn it off? Something really bad might happen if you do.

Lu Ban checked it repeatedly.

"...It's all special effects!"

Qin Tiantian hesitated for a moment before speaking with certainty.

"Oh."

Lu Ban then turned off the music player, covered himself with a blanket, and lay down in the chair.

Qin Tiantian also crawled back into bed, hugging her shark plush toy.

She soon fell into a deep sleep.

For some reason, Qin Tiantian, who should have felt insecure, felt particularly comfortable sleeping on Lu Ban's bed, just like being at home. She fell into a deep sleep after lying down for only a short while.

Even though she wasn't dreaming, Qin Tiantian felt that something was approaching her.

A cold, soft, delicate hand seemed to gently brush across her face.

Qin Tiantian regained some consciousness.

Was it Lu Ban? He attacked me while I was carelessly sleeping, showing no martial ethics?

She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt heavy and she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

Qin Tiantian felt the hand slide from her cheek to her neck, and then, some force pressed down on her neck, trying to strangle her to death!

The girl felt a suffocating sensation and tried to kick her legs, but her body felt as if it were filled with lead, and she couldn't move.

A sound suddenly rang out from the darkness where even sound could not be heard.

It was the melody of some kind of music, calming the mind while also conveying a sense of solemnity.

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Tiantian immediately felt her body relax, the pressure on her neck gradually disappeared, and she opened her eyes.

"What are you doing... huh?"

Just as Qin Tiantian was about to scold Lu Ban for his nighttime raid, she discovered that in the dimly lit room, Lu Ban was sitting on a chair in the corner, holding a phone in his hand. The light from the screen was the only source of light. The blanket covering him was neatly arranged and some distance away from her, indicating that he hadn't just sat down.

Qin Tiantian then realized that her two hands were crossed in front of her, her fingers gripping her neck, as if she were about to strangle herself!

"!!!"

Qin Tiantian was stunned and almost used too much force.

"Bah bah bah!"

She quickly let go, scrambled to sit up, and didn't forget to pull her half-fallen collar back up.

What happened to me just now?

Qin Tiantian stared at Lu Ban in disbelief. He remained motionless, only looking at Qin Tiantian's position.

No, to be precise, it was looking at a certain void behind Qin Tiantian.

Her hair stood on end, Qin Tiantian's neck stiffened, and she felt as if something was lying on her shoulder, as if if she turned her head she would see that tattered Lanlan Road doll giving her a ridiculous smile.

Lu Ban remained silent, only quietly opening the music player on his phone.

Will you remember what you wrote in your diary yesterday tomorrow...?

The melodious singing echoed in the room late at night, diluting some of the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

Lu Ban put his phone aside, calmly turned on his computer, continued playing music on the computer's media player, locked his phone, put it aside, and then turned his chair to look at Qin Tiantian.

"There's nothing wrong, you can go to sleep."

"???"

Qin Tiantian felt as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe, her mind filled with unanswered questions.

This is what you call no problem?

Isn't this a huge problem?

"Hmm, I'm not quite sure either. Normally they're considered enemies, but I don't know why they're teaming up against a common enemy today. But don't worry, I've already warned them that if they cause trouble again, I'll switch to playing songs by young male idols."

Lu Ban offered an explanation.

"they?"

Qin Tiantian felt the muscles in her back twitching, and despite it being summer, she was sweating profusely.

"Didn't I say before that there are some strange things in my room?"

Lu Ban looked like a waiter who had told the customer that the spiciness of the "super spicy" dish far exceeded what most people could imagine, but the customer still insisted on ordering an extra-large "super spicy" dish in front of his girlfriend. As a result, the customer was so spicy that he couldn't speak halfway through the meal and ended up being sent to the hospital. Then, his girlfriend, who had come with him, was flirted with by a handsome guy at the next table and left. In the end, the waiter could only obediently clean up the plates.

"Isn't that a special effect?"

Qin Tiantian grasped her shark plush pillow.

"Would you like to hear their story? I named them, one is called Ah Zhen, and the other is called Ah Qiang. One day..."

Lu Ban then asked.

"No, no need, I'll go to sleep now."

Qin Tiantian immediately lay down and covered her head with the blanket.

"Women are such a hassle."

Lu Ban sighed and picked up his phone.

The icon on the phone has changed to the Silent Land option.

He checked the progress of the task.

So far, the number of fans has just reached 13,000, but compared to before, it has more than doubled!

The clicks and follower growth of the videos that Lu Ban carefully edited and released were far less than those of the videos that streamers with existing followers would attract. Lu Ban couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with the world.

"It's still a bit slow."

Hearing Qin Tiantian's steady, sound sleepy breathing from under the covers, Lu Ban thought to himself.

"How about we do a giveaway by sharing this post?"

Lu Ban thought about it for a while. He didn't have much money, and a few hundred yuan wouldn't attract many fans. So he decided to do something more unique.

For example, it would be great to take someone with me on the next expedition.

Just as Lu Ban finished writing the caption and was about to post it, she changed her mind.

He ventured into dangerous forbidden areas and haunted houses on his own, and everyone watched Lu Ban's reckless behavior for fun. But if it were his turn to go, he definitely wouldn't want to.

Instead, we could change it to having the person who draws the ticket bring it to a designated person. Everyone can settle their scores and everyone will be happy.
