292: Chapter 292 System, Send a Few Ghosts

"Big Brother, have you lost your mind?"

Zhang Xiaofu became anxious the moment he heard this, "You're acting like you're afraid there aren't any ghosts here!"

"We're live streaming! Watch yourself!"

Yang Yong hurriedly lowered his voice to remind him.

Zhang Xiaofu glanced at the live stream interface on his phone; almost all the comments were demanding they summon ghosts immediately.

If they couldn't see a ghost soon, they would report them!

There was no other choice; Zhang Xiaofu had to silently shut his mouth.

He had gone to such great lengths to pull in so many viewers; if they all left, or if the Live Stream Channel got reported and banned, where would he find his sense of security?

Yang Yong set up all the props and then lit the candles and incense.

He stood to the side, eyes closed, muttering something incessantly.

He looked mysterious and devout.

Watching how serious he was, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask Qian Ling, "Where did he learn this routine? It actually looks quite professional."

"Him? ...Ahem, he learned it from movies."

Qian Ling explained awkwardly.

"..."

Lin Xiao looked up and looked at Yang Yong again.

There was no longer a shred of the previous mystery or devotion; he just felt like a charlatan trying to be mysterious!

Just as expected, after fiddling around for a long time, Yang Yong didn't manage to summon a single ghost.

Seeing that the candles and incense had already burned out completely, Yang Yong grew anxious.

He looked at Lin Xiao for help, "Think of something!"

By this time, Lin Xiao was almost asleep from waiting.

It was truly too boring.

He originally didn't want to bother with Yang Yong, but because he was bored, he still wanted to "help out."

"System, can you go to another world and find a few ghosts to come over for a cameo?"

Lin Xiao asked in his mind.

[Of course I can!]

This time, the system answered very decisively.

When things are abnormal, there must be something sinister going on.

Lin Xiao asked suspiciously, "What are the conditions? You'd better say them all at once."

[Ahem, it's nothing, I just need money! One hundred thousand yuan for ten minutes, okay?]

The system answered happily.

Perhaps in the system's view, a mere one hundred thousand was nothing to Lin Xiao.

But Lin Xiao sat up straight abruptly, "One hundred thousand for ten minutes? Are you robbing me? I just want to hire a few ghosts to scare them, and you want to extort me?"

[...]

The system only then remembered that Lin Xiao was a very stingy person.

It had intended to say forget it.

But Lin Xiao threatened it in return, "No way. Because of your attitude, you must hire a few ghosts for me for free today, or I will report you!"

[...]

The system was absolutely stunned by this logic of Lin Xiao's.

Attitude problem?

It was practically using customer service speak; was that still not a good enough attitude?

It was one thing for Lin Xiao to not be satisfied, but he actually wanted to report it?

It had barely managed to meet its KPI at the last minute; if it got reported, this quarter would be ruined!

Thinking of its long-standing grievances, the system's voice carried a hint of a sob.

[You, you are going too far!]

"Don't talk nonsense. I just want some ghosts; for you, it's a simple matter."

Lin Xiao didn't buy the system's act at all.

If the system had a physical form, it would probably be trembling all over from anger.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was completely unreasonable, it also got angry.

Fine, fine, fine.

He actually threatened it!

You like ghosts, right?

Then it would go and borrow a bunch of ghosts to scare this unreasonable guy to death!

Two minutes later, Lin Xiao vaguely felt the temperature around him change.

It seemed like gusts of cold, eerie wind were blowing in, and the windows started rattling.

"Wh-what's going on?"

Zhang Xiaofu was scared and leaned tightly against Lin Xiao, questioning Yang Yong, "Did that ghost-summoning spell of yours actually work?"

Yang Yong was also very confused.

This wasn't his first time using this trick he learned from TV, but it had never succeeded once.

He looked down at the yellow paper in the formation; it was still intact.

Logically speaking, if it had succeeded, the yellow paper should have burned on its own.

"I, I don't know either."

He was always sincere and never made big promises about uncertain things.

Zhang Xiaofu, however, thought this was Yang Yong's excuse, "It must be you. Let me tell you, if you really summon ghosts later, you have to find a way to send them away!"

Lin Xiao watched this gradually eerie scene, and couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

After the environmental setup was in place, the ghosts should be coming now, right?

Just then, the sound from the window grew louder and louder until it was blown wide open with a "bang!"

Gusts of eerie wind blew in, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"Ah!"

Zhang Xiaofu suddenly let out a miserable scream, pointing tremblingly in one direction, "Th-that TV, how did it turn on by itself!"

Everyone looked over and saw the TV screen beginning to flicker.

A patch of static appeared, emitting a "crackle, crackle" sound.

"That shouldn't be; I remember checking it during the day, the TV wasn't plugged into a power source."

Qian Ling's voice also lacked confidence.

"You didn't remember wrong, did you?"

Yang Yong frowned slightly.

"I shouldn't have remembered wrong, and don't you guys think the static on this TV looks familiar?"

Qian Ling rested her chin in one hand, pondering something.

Zhang Xiaofu was on the verge of a breakdown, "No, the plug is right there on the floor! Also, are you guys even human? The TV turned on by itself without being plugged in! Why aren't you guys scared at all!"

"Ah, I remember now!"

Qian Ling slapped her forehead, "Sadako!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiaofu was treated like air.

Just as he was about to complain, he saw the TV screen change.

In the midst of the static, several images flickered through.

In the images, there was a desolate, withered grassland, and in the middle of the grassland, there was a dry well.

Immediately after, a pair of blue-purple hands appeared at the entrance.

It seemed like something wanted to crawl out of the well.

Then there was a head covered by long black hair, and then a white robe...

Zhang Xiaofu watched this scene, his mouth wide open.

In such terror, he couldn't even make a sound.

"It, it really is Sadako?"

Yang Yong was also a bit panicked.

He couldn't care about his props anymore and hurriedly retreated backward, coming to the side of the group.

Among the four, only Lin Xiao wasn't that nervous.

There was even a faint smile on his face.

He couldn't help but praise it in his mind, "System, it seems you really have some skills!"
