Rou Rou insisted that the shutting down of the amusement park they went to investigate was due to the bad management and that there actually hadn’t been any accident at all.

All the rumours about the so-called “Fèng Xīngchéng ghost paradise” that could be found on the Internet now, were simply the handiwork of the big anchors who had hired water armies in advance to attract audiences for their live broadcasts.

When they proposed the idea of an “Abandoned Amusement Park Haunting Exploration” to the editor of the column, the platform said that this idea was a good one, and they would support it. They even equipped the live broadcast with photographers and several professional amusement park workers to enter the amusement park in advance and arrange the necessary light and shadow effects in some places.

Of course, gimmicks were important, but for the sake of prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony, the platform had to ensure they would not broadcast any “ghosts” to avoid accusations of misleading the audience.

For this reason, the anchors discussed the plot in advance and wanted to make the live broadcast shocking at first and then end it with an air of mystery. They knew that sounds or the adjusting of the lights and shadows were only to ultimately frighten everyone, and that all “paranormal phenomena” were just paper tigers.

Therefore, when Miuya’s friend suddenly began screaming in panic, grabbing Miuya’s hand, and telling her that she would die if she entered the amusement park, no one took the girl’s words seriously.

Even though they hadn’t said it beforehand, everyone, including Miuya herself, felt that it was just a temporary scene the girl had added to herself for the sake of the camera.

[At that time, I thought she was very cunning. She was obviously just a traffic scammer, and could hop around so much.]

At the other end of the phone, she said softly,

[I thought I couldn’t let her steal the show alone ...... so, I put my arm around Miuya’s shoulders and said to her...]

Rou Rou finally cried,

[Don’t be afraid, we are here. If you want to die, everyone will die with you!]

“Damn!”

Jiang Nan’an, who was listening through the glass, cried out.

“Is this girl brain-deficient? You dare to say these kind of messy words casually, do you want to die?”

In reality, many people actually say these kinds of inauspicious things without realising it or acknowledging the power words could hold.

However, in the eyes of Jiang Nan’an and the practitioners who had been influenced by Buddhism for a long time, such words were tantamount to verbal karma, in case the prophecy comes true, it would be too sinful.

Wei Fuyuan didn’t know these ways, but he had been with Bei Quan for some time and more or less had a reverence for the things that could not be said. n0velusb.C0m

He glanced at Comrade Xiao Jiang and didn’t say anything to shut the other party up.

Bei Quan obviously felt the same way as Jiang Nan’an.

He frowned slightly and realised that the problem might be more serious, so he asked in a deep voice,

“So, how did others react?”

[There were a lot of people yelling at that time...]

The girl choked and replied:

[Several, many people echoed me and said they would all die with Miuya ......]

She hesitated for a moment.

[I don’t remember exactly who said it and who didn’t. But it was a very busy time, and it was night, and I didn’t know most of the people very well.]

“I see.”

Bei Quan nodded, “So, did something happen after that?”

——————

[Yes, something really happened.]

It seemed that she had finished the part of her memory that frightened her most. When she spoke again, her voice was much calmer.

The girl told Bei Quan that after Miuya refused to listen to them, her best friend refused to enter the amusement park and took a taxi and left.

But Miuya and the rest began to explore the haunted amusement park according to the scheduled plan.

The live broadcast plan given to them by the platform was from 7 p.m. to 1:30 midnight.

Because they were the anchors of the suspense thriller, they needed to film late at night to create a scary atmosphere, and their live audience were mostly night owls.

So the anchors planned to spend the first half of the day in the amusement park, creating the atmosphere and building suspense, while the main event, the “mystery”, was scheduled between 11:00 to 1:00 a.m.

Unfortunately, the abandoned amusement park was not big, and there were only a few facilities that had not been demolished. To kill time, they decided to camp in the amusement park.

They set up tents in the shopping street square of the amusement park and then gathered together to prepare for a game of Ouija, saying that they would summon the soul of the teenager who had been thrown off the roller coaster.

[There were a lot of people there, it was unrealistic for all of us to be captured by the camera, so the photographer gave us a hint and had some anchors play.]

Rou Rou said softly:

[Until then, we didn’t realise that Miuya had disappeared at some point.]

Bei Quan, “Didn’t anyone see where she went?”

[At least, I didn’t notice.]

[Someone jokingly suggested that we should go and look for Miuya. After all, we agreed to live and die together. Everyone laughed and coaxed and said it was reasonable.]

[So everyone decided to go find Miuya... Of course, I went too.]

Bei Quan, “So did you find her?”

[Well, I found her...]

It seemed that she was remembering a traumatising memory, and her soft voice began to tremble slightly again.

[We found her at the Ferris wheel next to the square ......]

According to the girl’s description, the size of the Ferris wheel in the amusement park was not large, and the boxes had all been removed long ago, leaving only a three-story high circular metal frame standing on the base.

Miuya, whom they were looking for, was standing at the top of this frame.

Then, under the full view of the public, Miuya jumped down.

“Oh, I remember!”

Jiang Nan’an whispered again.

“This news, I think I’ve seen it on social media!”

Jiang Nan’an, a young Internet addict, who never left his mobile phone, clearly remembered the post “female anchor fell to her death” that was on the hot search on microblog more than half a year ago.

The news said that the popular female anchor of a platform fell and died during the live broadcast. The police investigation ruled out homicide, stated it was only a simple accident, and then closed the case.

Although the platform immediately cut off the live broadcast when the anchorwoman jumped and did not release the video of the night afterwards, there were still screen cuts that were put online by viewers, and those who saw them asserted that it was not a slip— the person clearly jumped down by herself!

In other words, Miuya committed suicide.

But Miuya had no reason to commit suicide!

In addition, Miuya’s English and Japanese are both very smooth, and she could participate in new games without the need for a Chinese translation, so her popularity on the platform was even higher than that of female hosts who relied on their face value and softness.

.

With Miuya’s current status as the first sister of the channel, not to mention she was making a lot of money, it was enough for her to live a very rich life on the platform’s salary and reward.

And from Rou Rou’s point of view, that night, from the beginning of the live broadcast, until Miuya’s disappearance from the camera she was talking a lot and was very lively. She didn’t look emotionally distressed at all!

She was such a seemingly lively and cheerful young girl. Surprisingly, four hours after being warned by her best friend, as predicted by the other party, she jumped down from the Ferris wheel and killed herself.

————————

[If only Miuya had died alone, I wouldn’t have been so scared ......]

Rou Rou took a deep breath,

[But after that, as if it was an infectious disease ...... others who had attended the amusement park spirit visit that day also committed suicide one after another .......]

Bei Quan, “There were others?”

After all, although Miuya seemed to be doing well, who doesn’t make mistakes at times when they are vulnerable?

For example, patients with bipolar depression may switch seamlessly between excitement and depression. During the excitement period, they look full of energy. When they are depressed, they may suddenly seek death without warning.

If Miuya was the only one, this incident can only be regarded as a bit of social discussion of the unfortunate tragedy.

But if it happened again and again, then it’s clear that it’s not that simple.

[Yes, there are indeed others ...... more than one ......]

After Miuya’s death, not only the anchors who participated in the amusement park spirit quest that day, but even the live streaming platform were under considerable public pressure.

The platform had to quell the storm and deal with the media and police, and could only make drastic changes to the channel.

Rou Rou and the other anchors, with millions of fans, naturally bore the brunt and have been greatly impacted.

Two anchors simply switched careers and decided they will never eat this bowl of rice again.

The remaining three people who did not leave, along with Rou Rou, were not the same as before, and even their live hours have been shortened a lot.

But a few months later, an obituary was suddenly posted on the microblog home page of an anchor who left the circle and changed his career. The cause of death was wrist-cutting suicide.

Then, another male anchor and his girlfriend who participated in the spirit exploration together hanged themselves on the beam of his hometown.

The two dead anchors had a good relationship with Rou Rou, and when they were popular in the past, they used to “hang out” during live broadcasts to boost each other’s popularity.

The two later retired from the circle, but Rou Rou still kept in touch with them, sending a private chat every now and then to ask each other how they were doing.

She remembered very clearly that on the day of Miuya’s accident, these two were the first to come forward and echo her words of “living and dying together”— and now they have committed suicide one after another, which naturally made the girl feel very scared.

[Miuya must have come looking for us!]

A soft and trembling cry came from the other end of the phone:

[I know, I know... It must be Miuya!]

[Because we promised to die with her...]

Bei Quan, “Rou Rou...”

He wanted to interrupt the girl’s agonizing cries and seize the time to ask for more clues.

But Rou Rou, as if she couldn’t hear Bei Quan’s voice at all, still said to herself.

[So... So now no one can run... No one can run!]

[Miuya, she... She’s coming to take us!]

The voice ended abruptly.

She’d hung up.
