I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

[Still Motionless]: Take a look at the video I recently filmed when you have time!

[Wangchuan]: ? ? ?

[Wangchuan]: When did you switch to being a mukbang streamer? Let me tell you, the mukbang industry is very costly and risky. If you want to do it full-time, it's best to start from another field. Weren't your previous horror and supernatural videos pretty good?

[Wangchuan]: Let me take a look first.

Qin Tiantian clicked on the link.

Before she even saw the screen, she remembered that she should watch it live, so she pushed the stream.

"Late-night surprise live stream, watch food videos!"

She posted a message in her fan group.

[Oh, food video, is this some kind of late-night revenge on society?]

[Wow, I was shocked! I thought I touched it today!]

I really hope that Achuan's surprise livestream is for singing or playing games, instead of showing this kind of anti-social video.

Wait a minute, something's not right. Isn't this the same YouTuber who used to make horror adventure videos? Is this really a food video?

[I was just making instant noodles, let me see.]

Qin Tiantian clicked "Continue playing".

Inside the dimly lit bus, several people are being filmed from the perspective of the bus's surveillance camera.

Lu Ban sat at the back, seemingly talking to someone else.

"This video has a creepy, eerie vibe. Does it really eat things?"

Qin Tiantian instinctively grabbed her shark-shaped body pillow.

Then she was startled by the unidentified humanoid creature that flashed past behind the car.

Holy crap!

She couldn't help but swear and took a step back.

"What kind of mukbang video is this? I get it, it's a mukbang where ghosts eat people, right!"

Qin Tiantian's protest was not over when she saw the bus in the surveillance footage stop. Immediately afterwards, a huge impact sound exploded out, like hitting a computer speaker.

"What what what!"

Before she could react, she saw Lu Ban's flashlight shine on that thing.

A giant rat.

Just then, Lu Ban's voice could be heard.

"That's how it is in the wild. Sometimes field mice will just come to you on their own, and you can't stop them."

"???"

Qin Tiantian was full of question marks.

Whose field mouse is this big that it can jump into a car by itself?

This field mouse was probably thrown in by the staff outside.

After a tense, exciting, and somewhat comical scene of catching mice, Lu Ban finally began cooking.

In this video segment, the camera angle changed to a normal shot, showcasing the freshness and deliciousness of the ingredients and Lu Ban's culinary skills.

It's clear that Lu Ban's knife skills are quite proficient; at least he can cook.

Watching him prepare ingredients on the bus gave me a strange sense of relief.

Just like a boy can watch an excavator on the roadside all day long when he's a kid and never get tired of it.

Perhaps, besides being curious about exotic ingredients, food bloggers also entertain viewers by showcasing their exquisite cooking techniques or witnessing hilarious food mishaps.

"That's what life in the wild is like: tough and simple, just eat whatever you want."

When Qin Tiantian saw Lu Ban swirl the field mouse meat in the pork rib soup and chew it with a satisfying crunch, she couldn't resist any longer.

"This looks...pretty delicious?"

Viewers who joined Qin Tiantian in the video chat also expressed their agreement.

These are all wild animals, roaming freely, so their meat is definitely better than farmed meat.

Is this really a field mouse? I grew up in the countryside and have never seen such a big field mouse before. Could it be a bamboo rat?

[No, isn't there something wrong with cooking pork rib hot pot in a moving bus?]

Where did that ghostly thing that flashed by just now go? Am I the only one wondering where it went?

These large field mice are perfect for roasting. Just marinate them with ginger, cooking wine, salt, and light soy sauce, then roast them directly—they taste amazing!

This video is seriously addictive! It's terrifying at the beginning, but makes your mouth water at the end!

This kind of wild game is best enjoyed outdoors; I'm so envious!

Qin Tiantian couldn't resist opening a bag of potato chips and watching while eating.

Seeing Lu Ban and his companions enjoying hot pot with gusto, gnawing on ribs and dipping meat, with vegetables and hot soup to cleanse their palates, she felt her mouth water and longed to go downstairs to a barbecue restaurant to order a pot of shrimp and scallop congee and some grilled meat skewers.

She had forgotten what she had seen before.

Watching Lu Ban finish eating, with half the video still remaining, Qin Tiantian suddenly felt something was wrong.

Soon, from the perspective of the surveillance camera looking forward from the back of the bus, Qin Tiantian saw that another unidentified white object suddenly appeared in front of the bus. This time she could see it a little more clearly.

That looks like... a person!

"Grass!"

Qin Tiantian cursed aloud to calm her fright, but then the bus overturned, and the whole scene became chaotic.

She then saw Lu Ban and his muscular companion get out of the car, and then saw the middle-aged woman part the bushes to reveal her head.

"!!!"

Qin Tiantian stumbled backward and fell off the chair.

Before she could continue swearing, she saw the corpse of the driver who had made the strange noise, and the grass on the corpse.

She was a little flustered when she saw Lu Ban's first-person perspective, and she captured the grass growing on the hand of the muscular man she was with.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this...?"

She remained seated on the ground, staring blankly at the video, not even paying attention to the comments on the live stream.

The first half of the video was harmonious and friendly, but the second half suddenly turned into a thriller and tension.

When Qin Tiantian saw the white humanoid creature's mouth split open into three lobes, its long, thin tongue biting through the middle-aged woman's throat, and then the strange, enormous fish swimming in mid-air...

Qin Tiantian gave up thinking.

Her head felt like it had been kicked into a fire pit by a donkey, then hit by heavy rain and a mudslide, then swept into a river, churned up by a group of fish, and finally entered the sea only to be hit by an underwater volcanic eruption.

The sheer volume of information caused Qin Tiantian's brain to temporarily malfunction.

So much so that when Qin Tiantian saw Lu Ban finally throw his teammates and the corpses of those humanoid monsters into the sky, with blood splattering everywhere to attract schools of fish, she actually thought the composition was kind of beautiful.

"It should be alright now..."

Qin Tiantian got up, sat back in her chair, and looked at Lu Ban driving away and the last surviving boy. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn off the video.

Suddenly, she saw the boy's sinister and eerie smile.

"Oh shit!"

Qin Tiantian fell off the chair again.

Chapter 054 Giving Back to Society Late at Night

Pressing her sore buttocks from Lu Ban's actions, Qin Tiantian saw the video end with a chilling smile followed by a string of text.

The video received over 500,000 likes and over 100,000 coins within a week of its release, prompting an extra episode.

"Who the hell would ask you to add more chapters?!"

Qin Tian was furious.

It's one thing to post food videos late at night to trick people, but to include terrifying and horrifying images with the food is another!

This feeling is like a fried rice that looks dark and unappetizing, like a culinary disaster that makes you hesitant to eat it, but it tastes delicious and you can't stop eating it. However, at the end, you discover that the delicious meat in the fried rice is actually cockroach meat.

In that eerie, terrifying, and tense atmosphere, Lu Ban, sitting in a car, eating hotpot, and singing songs, gives people a sense of inverted black humor.

I must say, looking back, it's actually quite enjoyable.

On the computer screen, all sorts of bullet comments flew by.

The special effects are getting more and more realistic! Last time it was just a zombie, but this time there are monsters too!

[When that monster opened its mouth, it was indeed quite disgusting.]

I think the actors in this show are all very good, far superior to those traffic stars who can only yell and scream.

Yes, yes, that look of fear in their eyes when facing death is so real, it's chilling to me.

[That last guy's smile almost killed me; how come the actors this uploader finds are all so creepy?]

[I get it now, the reason this video is in the food section is because of those scenes of fish eating people, it's an animal mukbang.]

[Nonsense, that should be in the pet section.]

Speaking of which, when I saw the mouths of those fish, a bold idea suddenly came to me.

Something's not right with you guys.

For the viewers, this video is just for fun.

The life and death of the people in the video are all performances, the monsters are all special effects, and the plot development is all predetermined.

Qin Tiantian initially thought so too.

After all, Lu Ban couldn't possibly actually show the scene of the monster eating people.

Where did he find this monster?!
