Chapter 82 Ball

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The tips of the bamboo chopsticks had already pierced through the chick’s small plump body.

And upon closer inspection, the small chick’s wings had slightly fluttered as if it had still yet to completely give up, doing its utmost to struggle free.

However, even the old lady, who was unaccustomed to physical exertion, had put in just enough strength to deal with this small young chick.

The old woman trembled as she held the chopsticks, slowly lifting the chick up.

As the small yellow chick was being raised mid-air, she opened her mouth, exposing a mouth missing more than half of its rotten teeth. It was as empty as a bloody cave.

Seeing an image of such a horrifying person, the two anchors were stupefied, completely forgetting how to speak for a long time.

The players were also in rapt attention towards this old granny, wanting to see if she would really eat this small chick.

However, as everyone was watching the old lady with expecting gazes, Bai Yan suddenly thought of something, immediately experiencing a jolt from head to toe.

So, he couldn’t be bothered to look at the old lady and picked up his chopsticks, nabbing a chicken leg from the large plate with lightning speed and putting it into his bowl.

Then, he grabbed some side-dish vegetables, shifting his body backward and silently putting some distance between him and the old lady. He also specifically pulled back his mountain of rice, using his hand to cover it.

The other players then suddenly came to a realization.

Taking advantage that the chick still hasn’t entered her mouth, the players also used their chopsticks to raid, fighting like the wind to put food into their bowls.

The two completely intact chickens were torn to shreds in an instant.

The four chicken wings were snatched by Quinta and were later put into the small Lolita’s bowl.

Ye Shangyu also gave herself a chicken leg as well as a few of her favorite dishes.

The table full of dishes was quickly transformed into an utter mess.

Once the players were perfectly satisfied with the contents of their bowls, the two anchors were still too dumb to react to what was happening.

The old lady was about to eat a live chick, were they still in the mood to eat?

Seeing that the good meat on the table dishes was already scrambled over, only leaving behind two chicken butts and two chicken necks, the two people just stared at them speechlessly. Going as far as this, wasn’t this just a table full of ordinary peasant dishes, were they all reincarnated from starving ghosts?

But, the two soon lost the will to ridicule these six travelers.

Because, with a fit of trembling, the old woman finally raised the small chick into her mouth.

Her front teeth had long fallen off, but the molars at the back were still sharp.

She opened her mouth wide, unexpectedly taking in half of the little chick’s body in one bite. Together with only a crunch, thin blood leaked through the slits of the old lady’s mouth.

God, she really ate it!

Bai Cui and Fang Niu were already shaken to their cores.

However, since the anchor was pursuing fame, Bai Cui instinctively nudged Fang Niu. She pointed at the phone, letting him know to quickly direct the camera lens towards the old woman, to capture this astonishing scene.

Being shoved by his girlfriend, it was as if Fang Niu woke up from a trance, hurriedly moving the camera away from Bai Cui’s body, turning to point at the old lady——

‘Late Night Trending Rural Mukbang Turns Into A Thriller,’ Bai Cui anticipated this, and the live comments instantly exploded.

[Original Flavor Hami Melon: WTF, this scared me to death! What is she eating? Live fowl? For goodness sake, did I see wrong!?]

[Addicted To Eating Chicken: I am completely convinced. I’ve heard of raw eggs, but I’ve really never seen someone eat live chicks. That old granny sure is a ruthless person. I’m convinced!]

[Stuffed Bear 31: At first, I never felt that this live broadcast was frightening, even outright feeling bored. But seeing this old ghost eat the chick, I’m ineffably beginning to be honest… I’m done, doesn’t this village really have ghosts?]

[A Doll Cut Off My Head: Emmmm, I’ve felt that this old woman was abnormal since earlier, she’s absolutely a ghost! Anchor is finished.]

The old lady was chewing so vigorously, eating as if she were wolfing down her food.

As she was doing her best to chew the live chick meat, the popularity of Bai Cui’s live stream was also rising.

Seeing a large number of new audiences watching, Bai Cui was excited beyond belief. She was so engrossed by her rapidly growing popularity that she didn’t even feel that eating a live fowl was horrifying. Instead, she was wishing that the old woman would eat more slowly and also consume more chicks.

Without regular unusual shows, where would fame come from? Didn’t the viewers of the supernatural live stream want to find thrill?

For fear that the live comments would agitate the old lady, Bai Cui had long turned off the ‘Read Pop-Ups’ function.

The old granny’s body wasn’t in good shape, but her appetite was strong. Soon, she had already finished eating an entire chick, even the chick’s feathers, bones, and very hard beak, swallowing all of them to enter her stomach.

Bai Cui considered to lend the old woman a cookbook on exotic dishes for the sake of popularity, but seeing the old lady be so untasteful, her heart also couldn’t help but be a bit nervous—— This old granny liked eating live fowl, won’t she change into a weasel?

After dispatching the small fluffy yellow chick, the old lady extended her chopsticks to the second one.

Just like the last one, the old granny chewed it, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Her table manners were uniquely cruel.

As she was chewing the meat, the plump fat on her face jiggled, while the masticated meat spilled all over the table.

Once she finished eating the third chick, Fang Niu then put down the phone, and Bai Cui also opened her mouth, saying a few words before beginning to eat.

Yet, when she was about to finally eat, the corner of her mouth twitched upon her discovery. The table full of dishes only had leftovers now, but the most disgusting thing was, the old lady’s spit was sprayed everywhere. Every dish on the table had bits of chick meat on them, and the white rice also couldn’t escape from this.

How could these kinds of dishes still be eaten?

Once again looking at the six other tourists, each of them was using their hand to cover their delicious meals.

Bai Cui finally understood why they had fought over the dishes earlier.

Bai Cui and Fang Niu gave each other a look, their hearts in extreme suffering.

They truly didn’t want to eat the dishes that were touched by the old woman’s saliva.

Without a better option, they could only go hungry and just awkwardly watch the others eat dinner.

The old lady narrowed her eyes after eating the three chicks, leaning against the mattress beside her and peacefully dozing off.

Once the six travelers were finished eating, they left the table one by one, and when Xu Lanfang saw that the two didn’t want to eat, she didn’t want to waste anything and put the leftovers into a bowl, eating the entire thing all on her own.

Everyone else ate until they were full, while Bai Cui and Fang Niu hid in their room, taking out some biscuits from their bags and starting to nibble on them, their expressions especially miserable.

They both originally thought that they would get to eat authentic rural food but didn’t expect that in the end, they’d still eat these things.

…

Outside the house.

Bai Yan, who was full of vitality, welcomed the cold autumn breeze, waiting for the two anchors while also reminiscing over this evening’s meal.

The flavor of this dinner’s chicken was not bad. This rural food was truly authentic.

The old lady’s chick-eating was straight-out savage, but compared to the malicious ghosts that directly bit people, she was undoubtedly a lot cuter. So long as she didn’t sputter out saliva, she would look good.

In fact, when he saw the old lady eating the chicks, Bai Yan couldn’t help but associate her with a lion eating game in the animal kingdom, an old goat biting on a chick.

If it weren’t for the old lady spitting and defiling the rice, he would have eaten more of it. It was truly a pity.

In the evening, after the players were finished discussing, everyone decided to split up into two groups.

It was extremely dangerous during nighttime in the game’s world. It went without saying that they didn’t want side issues to arise and just wanted to rest in the farmhouse for the night.

Who knew that the two anchors were preparing to wait until after the villagers had rested, they would come out to have a ‘Night Out to Explore the Ghost Village’ and prepare to uncover ‘The Unknown Secrets of The Ghost Village Under the Night,’ which was typical for the pursuit of fame and death.

Of course, NPCs’ and players’ deaths were completely unrelated, all the dead players also wouldn’t be cared for.

However, after inquiring around the village this afternoon, all of the villagers had a unified answer, insisting that there were no disappearances in the village and causing everyone’s investigation to sink into an impasse.

On a difficult level, there are no clues, and the next two days would be hard to deal with.

The first day in a level was usually safe, so if they didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to collect information, the following days would be terribly busy and would probably be more challenging.

Players don’t want to take risks, but coincidentally, the two anchors were preparing to charge and break through enemy lines, live streaming to court disaster, they naturally couldn’t let go of this chance.

In the end, everyone decided that Bai Yan, Ye Shangyu, and Lu Ruichao would accompany the two anchors to go sightseeing around the ghost village, while the others would stay at the farmhouse, keeping close watch over Xu Lanfang and the old granny.

“Sorry for letting you wait long!”

10 o’clock, Bai Cui as well as Fang Niu, who held his phone up, went out the door, joining the three players.

The villagers took rest quite early, and before it reached 10 o’clock, Xu Lanfang had already tidied up to go to bed, together with her grandmother in their room, closing the lights to sleep.

Xu Lanfang’s family was like this, and the others were just the same.

This was a ‘left-behind children’ village filled with only the elderly and children, and since elders and children need sleep, they went to bed early.

Thus, the lights in the village had gone out in succession, making the village pitch-black.

As it so happened, tonight’s moonlight was obstructed by dark clouds. Despite the heavens still being lit up by specs of lights, they can’t light up the path under the crowd’s feet.

Amid this pitch-black night, it was the most suitable environment for a supernatural live broadcast.

Bai Cui had gone through a lot today, having called the police for the haunted viewers in the live stream and watching how the old woman frighteningly ate a live chick.

These were undoubtedly ominous signs, but these obstacles didn’t stop Bai Cui to start another live broadcast.

In a supernatural live broadcast, the most important requirements were a terrifying atmosphere, two unforeseen events, and early hype for the live stream.

Because the old lady ate the chick as well as the rumor that ‘watching the live broadcasts could result in a violent death,’ she got 20,000 more followers today, which made her overwhelmed with joy.

In this situation, it was absolutely impossible to do nothing before going home.

Not to mention, she basically didn’t believe in ghosts. Even if ghosts were real, for the sake of the audience, she still had to brace herself and push forward.

After greeting the new viewers that were attracted by the hype, Bai Cui didn’t say that many superfluous words, only grabbing her flashlight and starting her village tour.

The group headed to the village, not finding anything along the way, but Bai Cui stubbornly used her vivid acting skills to set off a thrill to the ghost village. Midway, she even let out an ear-splitting scream from a deliberately arranged ‘scare’ prank with Fang Niu.

Under her realistic acting skills, the boring journey appeared to have its ups and downs, leaving the other three amazed.

The shocked Bai Cui, even if this place was truly haunted, it wouldn’t be as shocking as her.

Walking for probably an hour, everyone had strolled through most of the village, walking from the beginning to the end of the village.

Towards the end of the village, there were no residents, only unbroken patches of graveyards.

Each bulged-out grave that had stood on the ground for a long time looked miserable during the night.

Bai Cui didn’t believe that there were ghosts, and as she was walking past the graves, she also couldn’t help but feel chilliness running down her back, always feeling that when she passed a grave, the cadaver on the grave would crawl out and look at her.

Although she knew that little tanned brother was helping her film from behind, there were no other people there, much less dead people.

Bai Cui bravely continued to move forward, and since there were still three people beside her, she didn’t panic.

However, before taking a few more steps, she heard a sharp fit of laughter.

Listening carefully, this tapered sound ought to come from a child.

Bai Cui hadn’t even reacted yet when immediately after, a ball from far away came rolling, rolling at her feet.

In the depth of the night, will there be children playing ball in a cemetery?

Seeing two ashy handprints on the ball’s surface, it was the first time Bai Cui’s heart felt fear.
