Chapter 17
Chapter 17: 1.16 First Small Star [Extra 2] – Horror Tale IV
The team lead by Xue Luli and Fu Lian had such a joyous atmosphere but the other’s situation isn’t like what they’ve expected. On the other side of the building, a small group of 12 were instantly split up as soon as they entered.
Since most participants of this site are clearly students from upper levels like university students bring over their girlfriend or group of men who love thrills, the clear difference in age made them not want to listen to the instructions of the event organizer with them.
One of the students from the event organizer’s group. “Our team has provided everyone with their own copy of maps and flashlights. Phase 1 of the event is free for you guys to roam around the building and do your own ghost hunting activities. But please remember to come back. You could only roam around for an hour and will have to return to the entrance where you’ve first gathered before.”
This student tried his best to explain the rules to his group members but sadly no one really listens from the opposite side.
A University couple was holding each other before they could even leave the first floor of the building. With the girl attached to her boyfriend like a leech.
“Um~ honey I am so scared~~” the girl coyly said.
The guy replied as he flirted back, “Babe~ don’t worry. I will protect you~~”
.....
“Ahn~ Honey is the best~~” replied the girl as they’ve suddenly started kissing going beyond the limitations of PDA.
Student Organizer #2, “The rules were explained and everyone had signed a contract that the school would not be blamed if something happens during the event as this building is considered as a haunted spot. Please do remember this.” this student spoke without care whether someone is listening or not.
“Oh,~ is this that haunted abandoned building notorious for its back story.”
“Holy shit! this place is for real!!”
“Guys, let’s go. They say we only have an hour to roam in the whole building.”
“Whatever~ could they even do anything to us if we return late?”
“Mostly not but they could ignore us instead.”
The crowd dispersed and roamed around the abandoned building without the organizer’s lead. Even if this option is allowed, most participants would first ask for permission to separate before leaving but in this group, there is no such thing as basic manners at all.
As soon as they were led inside the building the participants had separated, doing their own things. The two student organizers were dumbfounded, one doesn’t even show emotions on his face while the young lady is about to explode in anger.
“AH!! So rude! We should have let the president and his boyfriend handle this group! Ah~ I’m so annoyed!” complains the little girl.
“Calm down. Let’s just wait for them by the entrance. They could roam around themselves for an hour and we’ll just send them a message before the second phase began.”
“Grr~ fine! Let’s go!”
Afterward, the two student event organizers left the building and let those in this group do the event of ghost hunting themselves. The participants who separated to do their own plans roamed around with their companions alone. The sickening flirty couple from before had spread dog food in such a haunted place. They totally treated this place as a haunted house like those in amusement parks.
The lady said, “It’s so dark in here! It even feels so creepy~ Darling we shouldn’t have separated from the others.” She looks around the ruined room with only the moonlight passing through the window as their lighting. There’s a dusty bed inside the room and a few broken cabinets with medicine. This room used to be an infirmary based on the contents inside.
Not far from where she is standing she saw her boyfriend grab the dust-covered bed sheet from the old bed and swing it up and down removing the sand and grime on it. Then he placed his jacket on top before suddenly pulling over his girl and pushing her on the bed with a thrilled expression on his face.
“I’ve split up with the group on purpose. What I wanted is for others to be unable to see the next things we will be doing. Isn’t it more exciting this way?~” said the guy as he started being touchy here and there.
His girlfriend understood his intentions, “Don’t tell me you wanted to use this place to...” said the flirty woman.
He replied, “Don’t worry~ I’ve locked and blocked the door~”
This couple was about to do some romantic adventures adding with some thrills of being found out or the location being haunted, the atmosphere between these lovers started to get heated.
One after another a piece of cloth fell on the floor. Just when they are about to begin the conquest, the sound of wind blowing gets louder and the temperature of the room suddenly drops.
“Hmm~ is it just me or it suddenly got cold here?” said the boyfriend.
The girl wraps her hands around his neck with a luscious appearance on her face, “The window is wide open and we’re on the upper floor with the wind blowing it should be normal. Don’t mind that let’s continue~” she said.
When all of the sudden she felt something scratched the back of her hand, after checking on it she saw clear marks made of sharp claws or something which immediately terrified her.
“Ouch! Something scratched me!” complaints of the lady.
“Hm,~ baby didn’t you bump on the wall a while ago. It must be from there. The pain usually only comes after. Come let me have a good taste of you, my seductive little ghost~” response of the boyfriend as he once again pushes his girl on the bed.
But before the guy could enjoy beginning his conquest his little girl under him suddenly screams with an extremely frightened expression on her face. He saw her point at the ceiling above them.
KYAAA!!
Once he followed the direction of her fingers and looked up they saw a half body of the woman looking at them with bloody eyes and a huge creepy grin. Her face is pure white and bloodless but it was completely covered in crimson blood.1 The moment he saw it. Forget that he is a man, he couldn’t even hold back his screams and shrieks together with his girlfriend before running out of the building.
AAAHHHHH!!!
They’ve run out in fear even forgetting their messy clothes. When they’ve met the event’s organizers they’ve started yelling. Saying things like:
I came out!
It really did!!! Appear!
It’s a lady in white with her face covered in blood.
Its eyes were piercing red.
I don’t want to go back there!
We are going home!!
The couple said in a frenzied state before running back home with an ashen face.
This scene happened not just once or twice. There would be at least one pair or team saying that they’ve seen something or felt that something is peering on them. Those who saw supernatural things clearly had run back home without looking back while those who didn’t remain wanted to experience such thrill themselves.
Meanwhile back to the team where Xue Luli and Fu Lian are included. They weren’t like any other teams. They didn’t explore the building separately but instead did it as a group.
With one of the guests streaming the whole event, the things they’ve experienced aren’t that much as they’ve expected. Except for their footsteps echoing in the silent hallways and stairs of the building they haven’t experienced much as they’ve explored the place.
The blogger guy says while spinning his camera to capture the haunted place.
He whispers, “Hi~ everyone~ We are roaming this haunted building in the legends but... unfortunately nothing spooky or scary happens yet~ what do you guys think this old man should do.” The old man is the alias he used for streaming. Despite his avatar name, he is a student that hasn’t reached his twenties yet.
[Old Man! Move away from your face and show us the little baby from before!]
[Yes. Yes~ that cuddly doll-like face looks so squishy! Aah~ Moe~~]
[Remove your smug face and show us the cutie!!]
[Change the angle of the camera.]
[Change. Change. CHANGE!!!]
The streamer could only follow his audiences’ request and pointed the camera at Xue Jing in front of him. This time he included the couple who was in front of the young boy. The appearance of Xue Luli and Fu Lian has always been above average when their faces were exposed on Livestream forums. The streamer’s monitor is covered with flying comments of shouting and hearts.
[Ah~ A Goddess!!! I’ve seen a Goddess~~]
[Wow~ he is so handsome~ Male God. Male God, look at here. Here!]
[Don’t you think that our little angel looks a bit like the pretty girl holding her hands. Are they related to Old man?]
“Yes. They are siblings~”
[Woa~ these brother and sister’s face value is really high. The sister’s boyfriend is so attractive as well!!!]
[The world is unfair! This Livestream room is a huge scam! What about exploring a haunted location!!? It is more like ‘Let’s accompany this bewitching family of three in their journey of ghost hunting!’ hahaha~]
[Old man! Since when did your streams start throwing candies? This kind of face value is too high!!]
[Just continue streaming this group of three and we won’t leave your stream tonight. Capture the cuteness and loveliness of our little cutie pie~]
[I agree!]
[I say yes to this!]
[Me too! Hell yea! It’s a big Yes!]
[Agreed!]
The streamer’s monitor was suddenly full of notifications from his audience giving his gift. He had this dumbfounded look as he looked at the monitor of his cellphone he used for his live streams. This is the first time he receives gifts this many in just half an hour.
“This is insane~” murmured the blogger.
The group had finally reached the last room of their exploration. The door before them is the dormitory room where the said murderer in the back story of the area had mentioned. It was the room of that male student where he first massacred his roommate before killing his other schoolmates and teachers.
Fu Lian held the doorknob of the door while trying to calm his fast-beating heart due to unknown fear and terror.
“This should be that crimson room from the story. Should we open the door and look inside?” asked Xue Luli to the other participants of their group.
But no one dared to answer as they were really afraid of what they could see inside the room. They looked at each other and decided to peek only once before they returned to the entrance of the building as they ended the first phase of the event. Seeing each other nod, Fu Lian understood that he had to open the door before him.
Hinges~ Creaking~
He slowly twists the rusted doorknob only to hear a ghastly sound of something metal resounds in the area. A hinge sound plus a slowly creaking door movement. The opening of the door was only opened enough for a hand to fit but Fu Lian was suddenly started by a weird sound that broke the tension in the atmosphere instantly.
Grumbles~~ It is the cute sound of someone’s stomach growling as it was empty.
When everyone looked at the source of the sound, they saw Xue Jing at the center of their group holding his protesting tummy with a shy expression on his face. The slight blushing on his fatty cheeks made it look like those colorful dumplings served during the new year.
Seeing his coy but shy expression the big sister and big brothers with him all laughed at the same time.
HAHAHAHA~
.....
“Okay~ since little brother is hungry let’s forget about the last room and go down to eat.”
The Livestream was in a chaotic state as well after witnessing the whole scene live. Comments like the baby is hungry. Please don’t forget to feed our sweetie!. or like Kyaa~ baby~ mommy will prepare food for you what do you want? or things like that.
After the team decided to end this segment early, Fu Lian’s hand pulled the door close instead of opening it once. Then with the others in lead, they walked away without looking behind them.
Only Xue Jing who was following behind Xue Luli and Fu Lian whose position suddenly changed to rear looked back and saw that supposed closed door slowly opening without a sound. Then a huge figure in white covered in blood stood in front of the door.1
Xue Jing’s expression turned cold and emotionless upon seeing that figure. He could even read the words from the tall figures moving mouths.
‘I’m hungry~ Give me more blood~’
