Chapter 57: Late Night Fright
Bai Cha huddled under the covers, feeling very uncomfortable, but she didn’t dare to go out at all.
Who told her she was Gu Baixue now?
Otherwise, she would have looked to see what the hell it was, no matter what.
She was still trembling as she typed on her phone, the music constantly surrounding her.
Darling Yuqi didn’t reply.
The fear in Bai Cha’s expression became more and more obvious. She anxiously bit her nails and then sent another message.
[gbx]: So terrifying, are you there? Save me.
[gbx]: Someone sent me a birthday present, it’s a music box, but for some reason, the music box music is very strange, and it’s bleeding!
[gbx]: Now that sound keeps going, I can’t turn it off.
The moment she sent this message, the surroundings suddenly became incredibly silent.
The sound of the music box disappeared, the sound of the wind disappeared, only her breathing under the covers remained.
Bai Cha’s body stiffened.
She slowed her breathing, even though the blanket was too stuffy and she was already feeling short of breath.
She felt as if someone was standing by the bed, watching her.
The faint light from the phone screen shone on her face, reflecting her terrified and flustered expression so clearly.
Ding-dong—
The notification sound of WeChat suddenly rang.
In the silent environment, it scared Bai Cha so much that she instinctively covered her phone in fear, not daring to move at all.
She desperately pressed the volume down button until she turned off all sounds.
She didn’t even dare to look at the phone screen to see who had sent the message, just stiffly held the scissors tightly in one hand.
After who knows how long, when there seemed to be no movement around her, she carefully turned on her phone again to look at it.
[Darling Yuqi]: Is it someone playing a prank?
[Darling Yuqi]: If you’re really scared, why don’t you call the police?
Bai Cha swallowed and sent a message with trembling hands.
[gbx]: But I always feel like someone is watching me, I dare not.
[Darling Yuqi]: It’s okay, I’ll call the police for you. Where do you live?
Bai Cha’s heart stirred, but her face remained calm as her hands quickly typed out the address on the keyboard.
Anyway, her address had already been exposed, there was no privacy to speak of.
[Darling Yuqi]: Okay, I’ll call the police for you right now. Be careful yourself, tell me immediately if there’s danger.
Bai Cha held the scissors. The carbon dioxide concentration in the blanket was getting higher and higher, making it hard to breathe.
And the position of her body was very uncomfortable, her arm was numb from being pressed down, and her legs also ached a bit.
She really couldn’t help it and moved slightly.
Click—
The sound of music came from the living room again.
Bai Cha froze there again, not daring to move.
[It’s a bit scary, but the streamer is also a bit timid]
[Go see what’s going on! What’s the use of hiding here?]
[If that killer is really hiding in the house, wouldn’t she be killed right away?]
[Holy crap, look at livestream room number 6! That player also hid under the covers, now they’ve poked their head out, and the killer standing by the bed stabbed them to death with a knife]
[Holy crap? Really by the bed, so scary!]
[Then the streamer should just honestly hide here, poking her head out will cost her her life]
[But will hiding here also lead to death?]
Comments scrolled past one by one, and the amount of information contained within was quickly extracted by Bai Cha.
It seemed that feeling was indeed correct.
Bai Cha froze under the covers, not moving at all.
Until her phone lit up again.
[Darling Yuqi]: I’ve already called the police for you. The police said they’ll arrive in about ten minutes.
Bai Cha almost choked out a sob, biting her fingers hard to prevent herself from making a sound, but tears still couldn’t be controlled.
Her body was trembling slightly, and she tried hard to restrain herself, afraid of making too much noise.
The sad music in the living room was still tinkling.
These ten minutes felt particularly long.
When the sound of police sirens pierced the silent night, Bai Cha finally broke down a little and covered her face.
She almost couldn’t wait to throw off the covers.
This action startled the subtitles.
[Streamer, are you stupid? Didn’t you see the comments? There’s someone standing by your bed] [No, what’s the use of the police in a horror game?]
[Did the streamer get too into the role? This is a game!]
[Even in reality, you wouldn’t just show yourself the moment you hear police sirens, what if the other person panicked and killed someone?]
Bai Cha had already thrown off the covers and looked towards the window.
There was no one in the dark bedroom.
She walked towards the window, but due to staying in one position for too long, her limbs were numb, and she fell directly to the ground.
But she still insisted on crawling to the windowsill, opened the curtains, and looked outside.
The unique bright light of police cars illuminated the night sky.
Bai Cha finally collapsed in front of the window, lying on the bay window, trembling as she held her phone. The scissors in her hand had already slipped to the ground.
She had trouble typing several times, constantly deleting and retyping.
[gbx]: The police are here.
[Darling Yuqi]: That’s good! Be careful.
Knock knock knock— Someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Bai Cha was startled at first, dropping her phone on the ground in fright.
After hurriedly picking it up, she barely managed to stand up and, dragging her still-numb body, rushed to the door.
Having reached the door, she was about to unlock the deadbolt when she suddenly seemed to think of something, slowly and with a hint of fear, she leaned closer to the peephole.
The peephole was pitch black. This was also quite normal, after all, she had pasted a layer of window decoration on the outside.
But… Bai Cha swallowed and couldn’t help but lean closer to the peephole again. The pitch-black hole seemed to sway.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The door was suddenly knocked violently.
Bai Cha screamed in fright, stumbling backward and falling to the ground.
This was definitely not the sound of the police knocking.
Someone outside was frantically banging on her door. Bai Cha screamed and scrambled up from the ground in a panic, then stumbled to the balcony. The police car had already stopped downstairs, but the sound of violent knocking on the door was getting louder and louder.
The door had already started to make unbearable creaking sounds, as if it would really be pushed open.
Bai Cha curled up behind the curtains, tears and snot streaming down her face, looking extremely disheveled.
[Damn, so scary]
[This streamer’s livestream doesn’t feel like a livestream at all, it’s like watching a TV series, a horror suspense drama, the immersion is too strong]
[So was there actually someone standing by the streamer’s bed earlier?]
[No, streamer, do you think hiding behind the curtains will help now? If the other person comes in, you might as well try to open the mall and see if there are any props]
Bai Cha still acted as if she couldn’t see the comments at all. Just kidding, her acting was already so superb, how could she do anything that would ruin her persona in the slightest? Finally, the knocking on the door outside stopped abruptly. Immediately after, footsteps came up. “That person! What are you doing?!” It sounded like the police.
