138: Strange young man
One day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Song Yang arrived outside the Haunted House with his assistant.
Looking at the tightly shut gates of the Haunted House, Song Yang rubbed his hands, a hint of anticipation rising on his face.
Although he had been livestreaming for so long, he was almost always truly scared by the Haunted House in front of him.
But, he had to admit, that feeling was a bit addictive!
"I wonder what the boss will update this time. I'm getting impatient!"
Looking at the Haunted House gates, Song Yang murmured.
"Brother Yang, the fans are all asking when the livestream will be."
Beside him, the assistant looked at his phone and suddenly spoke.
As early as yesterday, when Li Zhou told them to leave, Song Yang had posted a warm-up video.
He said that today the livestream room would be unblocked and he could start broadcasting.
A day later, his video had successfully garnered over a million likes and nearly a hundred thousand comments.
Most of them were asking for the specific time.
During this time, many Streamers across the entire network had actually come to challenge Tianfeng Haunted House.
However, almost none of them could last an hour.
Some challenged the castle, but when they reached the third floor to get the parchment, they were scared unconscious by a swarm of rats.
Some, relying on having watched livestreams, endured the fear of death and went straight to the first floor, only to pee their pants when confronted by Goethe.
Some didn't go to the castle, but instead challenged other areas of the Haunted House.
As soon as they entered the maze, they were deterred by the Red Spirit's doppelganger in the mirror.
Some managed to endure the maze, only to encounter a hopping zombie around the corner.
In short, during the days Song Yang's livestream room was banned, the audience finally realized how extraordinary Song Yang's previous performance had been.
There's no harm without comparison.
Compared to others, Song Yang's livestream was much more interesting.
"Don't reply yet."
"Wait until we go in and see."
Hearing his assistant's words, Song Yang said.
To avoid a repeat of last time, he decided to scout everything first this time before starting the livestream.
The Haunted House being closed for a day had already spread online.
Many netizens speculated what new area this mysterious Haunted House would feature.
After all, even the extraordinary hypnotic effect had been created before.
It could be said that today's livestream popularity would definitely be higher than any previous one.
Moreover, Song Yang had heard that many industry insiders would be coming today.
These people were also Streamers, specializing in outdoor adventure livestreams, just like him.
Although their livestream effects weren't as extraordinary as his used to be, their courage was ultimately greater than that of ordinary people.
And among them, there were even a few individuals whose toughness was not inferior to his.
To ensure everything went smoothly, he specifically woke up early today and rushed to the Haunted House.
His purpose was to check things out in advance.
"This boss, really, why isn't he opening the door yet?"
"Everyone else will be here soon."
Seeing that there was no movement from the Haunted House gates, Song Yang couldn't help but take out his phone and call Li Zhou.
However, he got a busy signal.
Li Zhou hated being disturbed while sleeping, so he usually set his phone to Do Not Disturb mode.
"Brother Yang, it's only five o'clock right now."
The assistant looked up at the gloomy sky and reminded him softly.
Who in their right mind comes to a Haunted House at five in the morning?
Moreover, Haunted Houses usually don't open in the morning.
If it weren't for the current high popularity of the Haunted House, Li Zhou could even open in the afternoon.
"Oh, someone really came this early?"
Just then, the assistant seemed to see something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Hearing this, Song Yang quickly looked around.
Soon, a figure appeared in his sight not far away.
"My goodness, is the Haunted House that popular now?"
Seeing that someone else had also come to queue so early, just like himself, Song Yang immediately bared his teeth.
The newcomer was a young man in a black leather jacket, quite handsome.
After the man approached, Song Yang took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Buddy, are you a Streamer?"
"Streamer?"
"I'm not."
The young man shook his head when he heard Song Yang's words.
Additionally, a brilliant smile unconsciously appeared on his face, making him look very sunny and cheerful.
"Not?"
"What a pity."
"You're so handsome, many people would definitely like you if you were a Streamer."
Hearing that the man was not a colleague, Song Yang visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Incidentally, he also shook his head, feigning regret.
"Really?"
"Actually, I also think I have the talent to be a Streamer."
The young man chuckled, and after speaking, he looked up at the gates of Tianfeng Haunted House, a trace of morbid excitement suddenly flashing in his eyes.
If Fang Xiaolu were here at this moment, she would definitely recognize that the man in front of her was the one Li Zhou had specifically told her to pay attention to not long ago.
After glancing at the gates, the young man withdrew his gaze.
Turning his head, he began to survey the surroundings of the Haunted House.
From beginning to end, a brilliant smile remained on his face.
When he saw that behind the Haunted House was a barren mountain, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"I say, buddy, since you're not a Streamer, why did you rush over so early?"
Since the Haunted House wasn't open yet, Song Yang planned to chat casually with the man in front of him to pass the time.
Hearing his words, the young man withdrew his gaze.
His smile faded, and he looked at Song Yang, his eyes very strange.
"I just came to take a simple look, I haven't decided whether to go in yet."
"Haven't decided?"
Hearing the man's words, Song Yang was stunned.
This guy's way of speaking was so strange, he didn't quite understand.
What did he mean by just coming to take a simple look?
If he wanted to learn about the Haunted House, there were plenty of videos on TikTok.
Moreover, coming so early, what could he possibly see?
The exterior of the Haunted House?
Scratching his head, Song Yang spoke again: "Buddy, this Haunted House is actually quite good."
"You can just search on TikTok and you'll see some things inside the Haunted House."
Song Yang believed that he wasn't famous enough to be known by everyone.
But during this time, his exposure on TikTok was indeed good.
As soon as the young man didn't recognize him at first glance, he knew that the other party probably rarely scrolled through TikTok.
So, Song Yang decided to do some free promotion for the boss; every customer he could bring in was a bonus.
Anyway, he wasn't a fellow Streamer, and going into the Haunted House was no big deal.
Hearing Song Yang's words, the young man's eyes flickered.
Without speaking, he looked up again, glanced at the camera outside the Haunted House, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Yang, why do I feel like this guy is a bit strange?"
"Let's stay away from him."
The assistant had been paying attention to the man's facial expressions.
After seeing the curve of his mouth, he felt an inexplicable unease.
This feeling reminded him of the guy who chased him with a chainsaw back then.
