219: Chapter 106 Song Shutingâs Adventure Live Stream 219: Chapter 106 Song Shutingâs Adventure Live Stream Qionghua City, next to the Han Tomb.
There was an abandoned wasteland here, overgrown with weeds and vines year-round, to the point where its original appearance had become unrecognizable.
Without any street lights nearby, the area would plunge into complete darkness at night, just looking at it could send chills down oneâs spine.
However, this evening, there were footsteps and a faint light emanating from this desolate field.
The source of the light was a girl holding a selfie stick.
Dressed in a short sleeve shirt and long pants, she was walking through the field while intermittently speaking.
âDear viewers, weâve already visited No Light Alley a few days ago and checked in at âCat and Dog Moon-gazingâ, but today Iâve heard about a new place in Qionghua City, which is this wasteland.â
In her phone was a live streaming window, and from what the girl had just said, it wasnât hard to tell that she was in the midst of a live stream.
The girlâs name was Song Shuting, an internet live streamer.
With her sweet appearance and unique live content, she had made a name for herself in the outdoor streaming category.
Different from average outdoor streamers, Song Shuting usually went live late at night, broadcasting content that leant towards eerie adventures.
Today, her target was set in this wasteland adjacent to the Han Tomb.
Within the phone, the live chat was scrolling message by message.
The number of comments wasnât too overwhelming, but it wasnât sparse either.
âHost, whatâs so interesting about a wasteland?
Moreover, itâs pitch dark around here, I canât see anything clearly.â
âExactly, it would be more interesting to visit some ancient house or something, more so than this patch of weeds and wilderness.â
âTodayâs live stream is not impressive, âCat and Dog Moon-gazingâ last time was much more interesting.
By the way, host, how much did it cost you to hire so many cats and dogs as actors last time?
It must not have been easy, right?â
âWhat do you mean âactorsâ?
When has our Ting Bao ever hired actors for her streams?
Donât you know about the Spiritual Energy Recovery?
If I give you food, do you think you can get that many animals to all behave and act on cue?
Some peopleâs IQs are really worrying.â
âSpiritual Energy Recovery?
Haha, you believe in those internet rumors after just seeing two of them, thatâs hilarious.
I think youâre the one who needs a brain supplement!â
ââŠâ
The live stream chat was never short of disruptions or off-topic comments, which was more like a routine.
Song Shuting was quite accustomed to this.
Having streamed up to this day, she remained unflustered by such situations, sometimes even secretly pleased when she saw viewers arguing in her stream.
After all, it helped maintain her channelâs activity levels, didnât it?
âGuys, donât argue now.
Today we are here to check in, and at the same time, we have another goal, which is to verify the creepy rumors about this place and see if they are true or false.â
No sooner had she finished speaking than the topic in the live chat shifted, with a barrage of comments surfacing:
ââFraud-bustingâ Ting Bao, about to start her job again!?â
âYou are so dedicated to your work, you deserve praise!
I have a âRumor Breakerâ banner prepared for you; host, just private message me your address and Iâll send it to you.â
âThe person above, donât think I donât know you just want to trick her into giving out her addressâŠ
but donât forget to share with me once you get it!â
ââŠâ
After glancing at the joking comments in the chat, Song Shuting revealed a sweet smile.
She kept walking forward, and said:
âDear viewers, I donât know if you have heard about this story.
Itâs said that in the middle of this wildland near the Han Tomb, there used to be a residence, this place wasnât always barren.â
âHowever, later on, the family moved away for some reason, taking everything with them.
But there was one thing they left behind without taking awayâŠâ
She paused here, and seeing the barrage of curious inquiries in the live stream, she couldnât help but laugh and said, âThey took everything with them, but they left behind one âpersonââŠâ
âA scarecrowâŠâ
The light from the phone swayed with her steps, appearing so trivial in this pitch-black wasteland.
âThe scarecrow was forgotten here, day after day, year after year.
Feeling angry about its masterâs abandonmentâŠ
it picked up a sickle from the ground, and every evening it would come to life, wandering through the wastelandâŠâ
âThere were people who came here to explore and said they saw the scarecrow at night.
It kept searching through the fields, as if looking for that master who abandoned itâŠâ
At this point in her narrative, the live stream was already filled with a flurry of comments.
âHost, whatâs with the change?
Since when can you tell horror stories so well!?
Youâve scared me so much that I dare not go to the bathroom late at night.â
âPlease donât scare me, host.
Iâm faint-hearted, and if I get scared to death, itâs on you for life!â
âNot bad, the fairy tale told by the host is goodâŠ
What happened next?
Did it meet a little girl, a tin man, and a cowardly lion?â
ââŠ
â
Song Shuting continued walking through the wasteland.
Although it was night, one glance was enough to see that there was hardly anything aroundânot even a scarecrow in sight, let alone a house.
âIn fact, this is just a story.
I even heard people say that the scarecrowâs eyes are made of two invaluable rubies.
Whoever takes them could immediately reach the pinnacle of life.â
She stepped over a patch of weeds two feet high and continued, âWe came here today to check-in, and by doing so, weâll also break this rumor, saving future explorers the trouble of a detour.â
Seeing the flat reaction in the live stream, Song Shuting felt somewhat disheartened.
She had gone to so much trouble to find such a storyâhow come nobody was rewarding her?
If she had known, she wouldnât have come here today.
Wouldnât it be better to stream âCat and Dog Moon-gazingâ again?
She walked on for a while and estimated that she had almost finished exploring this wasteland; however, the mentioned scarecrow was nowhere to be seen, not even a shadow of it.
âIt looks like weâve successfully debunked another place.
Although we didnât see a scarecrow, we did encounter plenty of mosquitoes.
Theyâve bitten me so many times this evening.â
As she spoke and saw that the surrounding wasteland was nearly done, she turned around to head back.
âMy dears, thatâs about it for tonight.
Weâll switch to another place tomorrow to have a look.
If thereâs anywhere you want to go, leave me a message, and weâll prioritize nearby placesâŠ
â
Song Shuting was making her way back when, as she reached the middle of the wasteland, her gaze inadvertently swept over a certain spot in front of her, and suddenly she stopped speaking.
Her steps also involuntarily halted.
Not far ahead, a figure was standing completely still as if it were staring at her.
âWhatâs wrong with the host?
Why did she suddenly stop talking?â
âHoly shit, whatâs that?
Is there someone over there?â
âItâs hard to make out, but it doesnât look human, you guys.
Look at that height and the proportions of the limbs; they are too exaggerated to be human.â
âCould there really be a scarecrow?
But we didnât see it when we came!
Could it be because it was too dark and we missed it?â
ââŠ
â
In the live stream, the comments were rolling in fast, but at this moment, Song Shuting had no mood to check them.
Her entire attention was captured by the figure not far in front of her, and her heart began to âthump thumpâ race.
