110: He's just a coward; he was so frightened he fainted.

"What's going on?"

The sudden change startled Chen Ze, Lao Hei, Song Yang, and the others, and also stunned the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the livestream room.

A bad feeling rose in their hearts. Some experienced viewers were already preparing to cover their eyes.

They had realized that any livestream related to the Tianfeng Haunted House often started with a sudden jump scare.

However, even though everyone was mentally prepared, the scene that followed exceeded all expectations.

Even Li Zhou in the monitoring room immediately stood up from his chair.

Inside the livestream room, the Energetic Young Man's facial features had completely vanished.

Replacing them was a face that did not look human.

The Energetic Young Man's head suddenly snapped back into place with a crunching sound.

Wisps of spectral mist, like black snakes, spread out from all directions.

The entire screen was covered, and the Energetic Young Man's face disappeared along with it.

The livestream room fell into pitch darkness.

However, the next second, a breathtaking scene suddenly appeared.

In the dark screen, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened.

These eyes seemed to belong to the most ferocious vengeful spirit, carrying pure, extreme malice.

At the same time, everyone watching the livestream saw the spectral mist actually emerging from their phone screens!

"Holy crap!!"

Across the country, countless people cursed, and countless phones were smashed.

Inside the monitoring room, Li Zhou only heard the continuous system notifications ringing in his ears.

A massive amount of fright value was constantly appearing.

But at this moment, he didn't have the presence of mind to care.

Watching the black mist emerging from his phone, Li Zhou internally thought, "This is bad."

Everything that happened before, no matter how absurd, he could still find a reason to explain.

But how was he supposed to explain this scene?

Watching a livestream, and spectral mist actually ran out of the screen by itself.

Was the entire person going to crawl out of the screen next second?

What was this?

The real-life Sadako?

[Illegal content detected. The livestream room has been forcibly closed.]

Just then, the Energetic Young Man's livestream room was forcibly shut down by a TikTok Super Moderator.

However, the next second, an even more terrifying scene appeared.

The livestream room, which had already been closed, actually reopened.

The Energetic Young Man's scarlet eyes reappeared on the screen.

In an instant, Li Zhou guessed what was going on.

Without hesitation, he directly used his castle authority and spoke to the Red Spirit possessing the Energetic Young Man: "Stop playing around!"

"If you keep playing, your boss here is going to be dragged off for research and dissection!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist and scarlet eyes on the phone screen disappeared.

At the same time, the livestream room reverted to the interface shown after it had been forcibly closed...

"It looks like she played a little too hard again."

"Is this Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit really that fierce?"

Looking at the extremely quiet livestream room, Li Zhou knew that his Haunted House would probably hit the trending topics again over the next few days.

Wait!

Since Song Yang came to stream, hasn't the Haunted House actually never left the trending topics?

He had a bit of a headache.

Rubbing his temples, Li Zhou put down his phone, his mind racing.

He definitely wasn't the only one who saw that last scene.

If the Energetic Young Man revealing Chen Ze's real address earlier could be covered up with Chen Ze's cooperation, that was fine.

But how was he supposed to explain that last scene?

Wasn't that clearly a supernatural incident?

Li Zhou, feeling overwhelmed, thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good explanation.

Just then, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw the three characters: Officer Chen.

"Seriously? That fast?"

Seeing the caller's name, Li Zhou's headache intensified.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally chose to answer.

"Boss Li, what happened this time?"

On the other end of the line, Chen Chuan sounded even more helpless than Li Zhou.

His tone revealed a hint of exhaustion; it seemed he hadn't rested well recently.

"Officer Chen, what do you mean, 'what happened'?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Hearing Chen Chuan's question, Li Zhou hadn't prepared his words yet, so he could only pretend to be clueless for a moment.

Inside the Nanshan District Police Station, Chen Chuan sat in his office.

Hearing Li Zhou's reply, he rubbed his temples and said irritably, "Don't play dumb with me."

"Just now, I received another report here. The person said he was the assistant of some... Streamer, claiming that his Streamer died in your Haunted House."

"Didn't I tell you last time? You need to pay attention to the limits when giving scares."

Assistant?

Hearing Chen Chuan's words, Li Zhou immediately thought of the person who had been following the Energetic Young Man.

Seeing that the other party seemed unaware of the recent incident, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Officer Chen, I remember what you said."

"But that Streamer insisted on coming to my place to stream under the pretense of debunking us. Wasn't that ruining my business?"

"But I didn't do anything serious. He was just timid and got scared unconscious."

While speaking, Li Zhou stood up and walked out of the monitoring room.

Hearing that it was another case of being scared unconscious, Chen Chuan seemed to have expected it and said helplessly again, "Alright, I just called to ask."

"That assistant seems to be at your establishment too. Go explain it to him."

"I'm very busy lately, so I won't come over."

Given the previous several incidents, Chen Chuan had no doubts about Li Zhou's words.

Moreover, no normal person would think of killing a Streamer who was currently live.

Doing that in broad daylight isn't just asking for death?

"Officer Chen, have you encountered some difficult case?"

Hearing that Chen Chuan wasn't coming over, Li Zhou immediately stopped walking and asked curiously.

He had sensed Chen Chuan's unusual tone the moment he answered the phone.

It was as if he hadn't slept in days.

One must know, the man was the captain of the Nanshan District Criminal Investigation Team.

A case that could make him feel exhausted must be serious and complicated.

"Some things you shouldn't know. Alright, I'll arrange for the operator to call back later."

"You go handle your situation first."

Chen Chuan didn't explain much. After giving a few instructions, he hung up the phone.

Then, he looked at the photo on the desk in front of him, his face filled with exhaustion.

Li Zhou guessed correctly; he had indeed encountered a problematic case.

And it was a major case!

The kind that could shock the entire country.

He had been racking his brain trying to solve the case these past few days, yet he had made no progress.

Trivial matters like Li Zhou's situation were no longer worth his attention.

Of course, this was based on the premise of several previous false alarms.

On the other side, after Chen Chuan hung up, Li Zhou shrugged and turned back toward the monitoring room.

He did not go looking for the Energetic Young Man's assistant.

Right after the livestream ended, he had already instructed the Red Spirit to send the Energetic Young Man out of the castle.

Back in the monitoring room, Li Zhou thought for a moment, took out his phone, and started searching.

Soon, a piece of news in the local bulletin caught his attention.
