97: Blood replenishment

“Chen Ze is popular?”

Hearing his assistant’s words, Song Yang subconsciously ignored the fact that his livestream room was banned for seven days.

When he first started doing outdoor exploration and challenge livestreams, he was often banned because he wasn’t very clear about controlling the scale, so he had long grown accustomed to it.

“Let me see what’s going on!”

“He couldn’t even save me, how could he be popular?”

Taking out his phone, Song Yang opened TikTok.

Before he even refreshed, a video popped up directly.

This was the perspective of Old Hei livestreaming with his phone.

In front of him was Chen Ze, looking down at something.

“What is this?”

Looking at this video, which was about to break a million likes, Song Yang was slightly stunned.

This didn’t seem very extraordinary, so why did it have so many likes?

Before he could think too much, a horrifying scene appeared.

On the video’s bullet comments, it was a uniform stream of “High energy ahead!”

Chen Ze’s head suddenly fell off at a strange angle, followed by a gush of blood that even a large amount of mosaic couldn’t block!

“Holy crap!”

Seeing this scene, even Song Yang was scared at first.

It happened too suddenly, with no warning whatsoever, completely a zero-frame start!

“After I was captured, were they playing so excitingly?”

Compared to others who saw this video, Song Yang quickly adapted.

Besides the initial shock, there wasn't even a hint of disgust in his heart.

Frowning, he clicked on the comments and found that most of them were discussing Chen Ze and Tianfeng Haunted House.

As for him, there wasn’t a single mention.

Clearly, in this livestream challenge, all the attention was stolen by Chen Ze’s move.

Although the video of him being devoured by a swarm of rats was also on TikTok, it was still a bit conservative compared to this scene.

“Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have gone first!”

Clicking on Chen Ze’s homepage and seeing his follower count increase with every refresh, Song Yang’s eyes turned red with envy.

Although he had also experienced it, who would ever think they had too few followers?

“Where is that Chen Ze guy?”

Putting away his phone, Song Yang looked at his assistant and asked.

He now roughly knew what had happened.

The reason these people hadn't rescued him for so long was entirely because they were scared by Chen Ze’s gruesome state.

But if you say you were scared, then you were scared; after all, that scene was indeed a bit intimidating.

However, when you were all scared and ran out, didn’t you think that I was still in the castle?

It was imaginable that if his assistant hadn’t been outside, he would have had to stay in the castle for at least a few more hours.

Envy, jealousy, resentment.

It’s not good to offend the boss, but others are not necessarily so.

Song Yang decided to go have a good talk with Chen Ze and Old Hei.

They had agreed to be a team, to be brothers, but in the end, they forgot him in the castle.

“Uh… they already drove off just now.”

“They said they’d get together again later.”

Looking at Song Yang, who was clenching his fists, the assistant said.

“Brother Yang, shouldn’t we deal with the livestream room issue first?”

“This ban is for seven days.”

“I’m banned, that Chen Ze guy must be about the same.”

“It’s fine, seven days is seven days.”

Hearing that Chen Ze had run off so quickly, Song Yang immediately felt bored.

Waving his hand, he said casually.

Actually, he had already received a lot of attention during this period, so it was a good time to digest it.

And, by the way, plan his future livestream style and path.

It now seemed that the rise of Tianfeng Haunted House was a foregone conclusion.

As its reputation grew, the traffic and popularity it would attract would naturally not be small.

Livestreaming here long-term was completely fine.

Hearing Song Yang’s words, the assistant scratched his head and said nothing more.

Although he was nominally an assistant, most matters were still decided by Song Yang himself.

“Enough talk, let’s go out for a big meal!”

“I feel like I’ve lost a lot of vitality this time, I need to replenish it!”

Shaking his head, Song Yang stopped thinking.

Feeling hungry, he walked directly towards the entrance of the Haunted House.

He hadn’t really eaten anything today.

Having lost so much blood, he certainly needed to replenish it.

Although everything in the castle was illusory, because the feeling was too real, Song Yang now felt weak and exhausted, as if he had been drained.

Watching Song Yang leave, the assistant subconsciously followed him.

At the same time, he greatly admired Song Yang’s psychological fortitude.

Fortunately, he hadn’t eaten much just now, otherwise, he would definitely be throwing up by now.

The video of Chen Ze being beheaded was everywhere on TikTok, and the assistant naturally saw it too.

Just one glance, and he still felt a bit nauseous.

He hadn’t expected Song Yang to not only show no reaction but even have an appetite to go out and eat.

He could only say, he truly lived up to his reputation!

The two, one after the other, soon left the Haunted House.

After stepping outside, Song Yang suddenly remembered that there were other people in the Haunted House and thought about going in to shout that he was treating everyone to dinner today.

However, this idea was ultimately dispelled by a single sentence from his assistant.

Dai Xiaomei was nowhere to be found, Fang Xiaolu was still sleeping, and as for Li Zhou, there was no need to mention him; he said he had something to take care of as soon as he exited the castle.

There was nothing he could do, so Song Yang could only take his assistant and drive towards the city… “Ugh!!”

In the washroom of the Tianfeng Haunted House employee living area.

Dai Xiaomei leaned one hand on the mirror in front of her, the other patting her chest, her face pale.

Ever since Li Zhou had shocked her awake with a defibrillator, the scene of her grabbing Chen Ze’s head had lingered in her mind.

Even after washing her hands several times, to the point of almost scrubbing off her skin, she still felt they weren’t clean.

A faint smell of blood seemed to still linger at her nostrils, making her gag once more.

“Wuwuwu, why did you have to go touching things on the ground for no reason?”

“Now look, I’ll probably have nightmares tonight!”

Wiping the corner of her mouth, Dai Xiaomei looked up at herself in the mirror and muttered mournfully.

She swore she had never experienced such a terrifying scene.

She would probably never forget Chen Ze’s appearance for the rest of her life.

However, very quickly, Dai Xiaomei thought of the gains from this livestream, and her mood improved slightly.

Her livestream room was also banned, but because she was a top Streamer on TikTok, the Super Moderator only banned her for three days, much shorter than the three people from TikTok’s Li Zhou.

Before entering the castle, her follower count was almost nine million.

But now, her follower count had steadily surpassed ten million.

Although follower count doesn’t represent the number of viewers in a livestream room, after this incident, she probably wouldn’t have such a quiet livestream when playing games in the future.

Calming herself, Dai Xiaomei washed her face and stood up to leave the washroom.

Just as she turned around, she saw a bright red figure come into view.
