38: It's not me who is sick, it's the world.
Lu Chuan didn't understand Baba Le's warning glance at all.
He only knew that the man, who seemed to be a streamer, was suddenly about to kneel down in front of him.
This scared him quite a bit.
It would shorten his lifespan!
Lu Chuan immediately took three steps in two, practically sprinting, and stopped Baba Le before he could kneel.
"Let go!"
"I won't!"
"Let go, quickly!"
"I really can't!"
"Please, just let go of me!"
"Big brother, how can you just casually kneel to others?"
"You're the big brother, really, please let go of me, this kneel of mine is very important!"
The back-and-forth between Baba Le and Lu Chuan was fully captured by the camera held by Xiao Hu.
The live stream immediately erupted in laughter.
[Ai Luoli: I'm dying of laughter, these two, hahaha!]
[I Love Lele's Mom: The young man, his restless self, the passionate tug-of-war, his shy self~]
[892101: Good to watch, love to watch, upstairs, hurry up and write a book!]
[Childface Wolf: This drama is not bad, but I've seen through everything long ago! Streamer and that young man, your clumsy acting really makes me laugh!]
[Li Wai Bu Shi Ren: Where did this elementary school student come from, not doing homework at this hour, get out!]
[Yu Yu Yu Yu: So funny, is there really no female benefactor willing to come into my bed and laugh with me?]
[...]
Talents emerged in the comment section, with people playing on memes, some from Chengdu, and some in heat, it was very lively.
Just then, after the laughter and teasing, a netizen finally discovered the crucial point, no, the blind spot.
[Lonely Sandbar Cold: To be honest, aren't you curious why there's a stall in this place?]
[Nun Chasing Monk: Finally, someone noticed, this is the truly unsettling thing!]
[Active Fish in Small Stream: So why is there a stall here?]
[I See You: Yeah, why? Why is he setting up a stall here? In such a dark place, will there really be customers?]
[One Finger Zen: Hahaha, it can't be selling to ghosts, right? Haha... ha, no way?]
[Haunted House's Ghost: Hehe~]
[Wangzai Milk Is Very White: Upstairs, stop it!]
[Unknown Place in Clouds: The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie, didn't it?!]
[...]
Xiao Hu, who had been lurking and observing the live stream's effect, also noticed this conversation and then suddenly realized.
Yes!
Why would someone set up a stall in front of the Haunted House in this long-abandoned amusement park?
Could it really be as the netizens guessed... no way... Xiao Hu was startled by his own thought.
He looked at the young man, shrinking his head, his terror impossible to hide.
If this young man was really setting up a stall here to do business with ghosts, then wouldn't this young man also be a ghost?
And the most peculiar thing to him was that Baba Le was tall and strong, and his strength was exceptionally great.
But despite the huge disparity in physique, this young man was able to firmly grasp Baba Le's arms, preventing Baba Le from breaking free no matter what.
Is this reasonable?
This is too unreasonable, isn't it?
Xiao Hu glanced at the live stream again and found that many people had also noticed this, and he felt increasingly panicked.
Could it be that they really encountered a ghost?
The more Xiao Hu thought about it, the more scared he became, and his thin body started to tremble again.
He really wanted to turn and run, but seeing Baba Le firmly held by the 'ghost' and unable to break free, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to escape alone.
"Ba Ge... run, that's a ghost!!!"
A mournful scream stunned both Lu Chuan and Baba Le, who were in the middle of their struggle.
"Ghost? Where's the ghost!"
Baba Le's face instinctively showed fear, and he looked around, searching for the ghost's location.
Seeing that Baba Le hadn't reacted yet, Xiao Hu pointed at Lu Chuan and trembled as he reminded him:
"Ba Ge, the ghost is right in front of you, it's holding you!"
Baba Le looked at Lu Chuan suspiciously, then at Xiao Hu.
"Huh?"
Xiao Hu was anxious but dared not go closer, so he could only keep urging Baba Le to run.
"Huh a ghost! Run, Ba Ge!"
Seeing that Xiao Hu's fear didn't seem faked, Baba Le seemed to understand something and quickly looked at the live stream, only to find everyone warning the streamer to run.
"So what did I miss?"
Baba Le felt the obvious living aura from Lu Chuan and looked at their intertwined shadows under the light, truly unable to understand.
So, he directly asked Lu Chuan.
"Brother, are you a human or a ghost?"
As soon as Baba Le asked this question, Xiao Hu and everyone in the live stream were stunned.
This... is it that direct?
Listening to the conversation between Xiao Hu and Baba Le, Lu Chuan also leaned over and looked at Baba Le's phone live stream screen.
A few seconds later, he blinked and reacted.
Good heavens, he was being mistaken for a ghost?!
Lu Chuan wanted to laugh, but was also a bit speechless.
"Of course I'm human!"
To increase persuasiveness, Lu Chuan spread his arms and waved them up and down as he spoke.
As a result, Baba Le, losing his support, immediately knelt on the ground, his forward-tilting upper body unable to stop, and he naturally kowtowed to Lu Chuan.
This sudden scene once again filled the live stream with a cheerful atmosphere.
---
Five minutes later, Lu Chuan and Baba Le, having cleared up the misunderstanding, looked at each other, then both showed shock.
Lu Chuan: How could someone run into a Haunted House in the middle of the night to stream a spiritual exploration? Is he out of his mind?
Baba Le: How could someone set up a stall in front of an abandoned Haunted House in the middle of the night? Is he a mental patient?
The two exchanged glances, and their eyes simultaneously revealed sympathy and pity.
Lu Chuan patted Baba Le's shoulder, signaling him to look on the bright side.
Baba Le returned a gentle smile, encouraging him to persist with treatment and not give up.
But as soon as their words came out, they both froze, then their faces flushed red, and they angrily rebuked each other:
"You're the one who's sick!" "You're the one who's sick!"
Xiao Hu stared blankly as Lu Chuan and Baba Le, who had originally been encouraging each other, suddenly both snorted coldly, then simultaneously folded their arms and turned away in perfect sync.
One walked towards the small cart, the other walked towards the Haunted House.
This left Xiao Hu a bit bewildered, unsure what expression to make in this situation.
Helpless, he could only look at the live stream, preparing to see everyone's reactions.
As a result, he was once again stunned by a flood of "hahaha," "patient meetup," "it's not me who's sick, it's this world" and similar comments.
"Why do I feel out of place with everyone?"
Xiao Hu only felt the wind was a bit bleak; he tightened his clothes and looked up at the night with melancholy.
"Let's go!"
Baba Le's voice came, waking Xiao Hu from his self-pity.
"Oh! Coming!"
Xiao Hu quickly took his camera equipment, waved at Lu Chuan, and then hurried a few steps to catch up with Baba Le.
"Ba Ge, I feel like this young boss is quite interesting, what do you think?"
"Interesting? He's just a little crazy, who sets up a stall in a place like this in the middle of the night?"
"That's what I mean by interesting!"
[...]
As the distance grew, their voices gradually faded and dispersed in the night wind.
Lu Chuan, standing behind the stall, looked speechlessly at their retreating figures, then continued to scroll through his show.
Afterward, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, suddenly looking up and throwing a punch into the air.
It's all the system's fault!
Selling stinky tofu next to a public restroom, selling cold drinks and sweet soups in front of a Haunted House, what kind of bizarre stall locations are these!
What's even more hateful is that after changing the stall location, it wouldn't let him tell the Regular Customers!
Otherwise, if he had told Qi Yuan and the other Regular Customers in advance to come and support him, he wouldn't have been treated like a mental patient in the middle of the night!
[The Host's misunderstanding of the System is too deep! Such painstaking effort, the System hopes the Host will see it clearly soon!]
"Pfft!"
