Chen Ge was afraid of being overheard by the landlord next door, so he kept his voice low. He was not purposely trying to create this kind of tense atmosphere.
After he was done, He San was dumbfounded. This simple and honest college student, who had slowly climbed his way into medical school from a mountain village, did not expect that his first call with an online friend would be about something as exciting as the murder of a family.
"You're currently at that haunted house?"
"Yes."
"The landlord next door might be the murderer from five years ago?"
"Yes."
"I'm confused, give me some time to think." He San hugged the phone in his hand. The two sides of the phone were worlds apart. Inside the dormitory, people were busy playing PUBG and League of Legends, but on the other side of the phone, there was only dead silence. There was a suffocating tension in the air.
"Boss, I think you should call the police. Even though you don't have any evidence, compared to making a fake police report, your own safety is more important."
Heshan was telling the truth, but Chen Ge had his own considerations. Murder at Haunted House was a mission given to him by the black phone, and it required him to stay there for one night. However, if the police interfered, the chance of failure was very high. It would be a waste to give up on a new scenario. "It's not time to call the police yet."
"The most important thing now is your own safety. How about this?" Heshan paused before continuing, "Turn on your phone's GPS and don't hang up for the whole night. I'll pay attention to the sound on your end. If there's any movement, I'll call the police for you."
Staying on the phone was not a bad idea. Chen Ge looked at his phone. The video page was still open, and an advertisement for a PUBG streamer was playing.
Chen Ge's eyes lit up. Compared to maintaining the connection, he came up with a more reliable idea. I can start a livestream at the haunted house. If something happens to me, the viewers in my livestream can help me call the police, and the video uploaded by my livestream will become the most convincing evidence. That's good, and I can attract more attention through the livestream. That will help increase the popularity of my Haunted House.
The short video from the previous night had brought Chen Ge close to a thousand fans. The next day, the number of visitors to the Haunted house had multiplied, and this gave Chen Ge a taste of sweetness.
Furthermore, his main purpose for entering the haunted house was to obtain the mission reward so that his Haunted House could develop further. Starting a live broadcast would allow him to ensure his own safety while completing his mission. It could also attract traffic and increase his fans, so why not?
I don't have the funds to advertise all over the place, but I can use livestreams and short videos to attract more people's attention. "
What Chen Ge lacked were channels and accumulation. As for the content, he was not worried at all.
Even though the tone of the person from the studio was not pleasant, he was right about one thing. Modern people sought faster entertainment, and they needed more excitement. Looking at the entire platform, was there anything more attractive and exciting than staying at a haunted house and playing games with a murderer?
Traffic came first, and content was king. Compared to other streamers, Chen Ge had an advantage that none of them had.
Everything that he had filmed and experienced was real. There was no script, and even he had no idea what would happen next.
He was completing the mission given to him by the black phone, and the livestream was just a recording.
"Heshan, I'm hanging up now. Come to my livestream room later. The room name will be my personal ID for my videos."
After hanging up, Chen Ge opened his phone's GPS and set the one-button dial as a police number. After everything was ready, he opened the livestream app.
Videos were usually only ten seconds long, and they could not be advertised. To maximize the value of their fans, many streamers would livestream when they had no new videos to release.
Short videos were easy to share and spread, and they could be used to attract people's attention. Then, he could use a livestream that was filled with personal characteristics to turn passersby into fans. The two complemented each other, and Chen Ge could be said to have stumbled upon the most correct path.
"Staying at a haunted house! Exploring its secrets! I'll unveil a secret that no one knows about! " Chen Ge typed in the title. He used several exclamation marks to make his livestream look different from the others.
In reality, he did not need to do that. Livestream apps were not as good as professional livestream platforms. There were very few categories, and most of the titles were things like Sexy Cute Ladies Healing Chat, Sweet Goddesses Lulling You to Sleep, and so on. Compared to the others, Chen Ge's was like a landslide; it was hard for him not to attract attention.
When the livestream started, the fans who followed him would receive a notification, and at the same time, his personal status would be announced.
A few seconds later, some fans entered the chat room.
Heshan: "Boss, you're serious! Are you sure you want to livestream this? "
All scumbags must die. "You're the beast that posted the short video last night! I'm going to kill you! "
"F * ck! What's going on upstairs? Tell me your story. "
I'm a green insect: "Animal streamer, I'm following you."
"Does anyone know what this livestream is about?"
"Can you stop bothering us? Look at the announcement yourself!"
Once Chen Ge started, people who were waiting for updates popped up, and his popularity grew.
"Everyone, I think you've all misunderstood me." Chen Ge put down the multi-purpose mallet and looked at the phone screen seriously. "The video yesterday was not a joke; it was my personal experience. You can search for the original video on some supernatural forums. I did not add any special effects, and everything is real. There is something in the mirror. I know it's hard for you to believe, but I'll reveal the secrets bit by bit, and show you a completely different world. "
"Hey, what's the phone number for the Abnormal Human Research Center? I've discovered a wild psychopath. "
"I love watching you spout nonsense with a straight face."
"Li Ming! I know you're watching the livestream. Come back tonight and bring me some fried cold noodles. No chili, thank you! "
"Toyama Mental Hospital's three rooms and eleven beds are cheering for the streamer! Supporting the recovery of patients to find jobs! "
A few comments flashed across the screen. None of them believed what Chen Ge said, but he was not angry. "It's okay if you think I'm crazy, I'll prove it to you."
