Chapter 356 - 358: Probing
Ming Yue blinked, unsure for a moment what kind of attitude she should adopt.
She looked at her boyfriend, who appeared gentle and refined with a warm smile on his face. Then, stiffly and cautiously, she glanced at that neck, long enough to wrap around a person.
A snake-like neck long enough to circle the house two or three times.
Ming Yue froze, not knowing what to say, while the camera she held steadily in her hand faithfully recorded everything.
[Holy shit, what the hell is her boyfriend?!]
[I just got here, this scared the hell out of me!]
[His neck is like a snake’s...]
[Oh my god, I’m getting goosebumps just looking at it!]
[This is her boyfriend? My bad, at first I actually thought he was pretty handsome.]
[Could this be a prank? But how could the special effects be this realistic?]
Besides the viewers’ shock, the girl herself stood with her mouth agape, at a complete loss for words.
She blinked. It felt as if her breathing had stopped, the blood in her veins turning to ice. Even the strands of her hair seemed to freeze. ’What is happening?’
Though terrified, she did her best to maintain a posture of blissful ignorance, merely blinking with a hint of confusion.
"What’s wrong? Did I scare you?"
Her boyfriend said this as he straightened his long neck and rubbed it against his shoulder.
His tone was gentle, filled with the sweetness of a new romance.
"You’re always letting your imagination run wild."
He said it as if pouting, with a hint of exasperation.
But those words, in this moment, sounded so incredibly ironic.
The girl was dumbfounded. ’What is going on?’
’Is he showing this to me on purpose?’
She stammered, her entire being focused on just five words.
"I want to go home."
She struggled to keep her voice steady, her eyes welling up with tears, even forgetting that she was still livestreaming.
She was simply begging.
She wanted to go home, but her darling boyfriend just patted her on the head and soothed her.
"Why don’t you get some rest first, okay? I prepared a very soft and comfortable bed just for you."
He patted her head, a seemingly normal gesture.
Then he pushed her back toward the "bed"—the one that was actually a coffin.
Then he personally lifted her into it. All the while, his long neck never retracted.
She was scared stiff, lying there in the coffin, unable to utter a single word.
She had tried her utmost to act natural, as if she hadn’t noticed anything strange about them.
But the moment she saw his neck, her mind went blank. ’Is he even human?’
’So this is what the sweet, wonderful boyfriend I dreamed of day and night is really like.’
After being placed in the coffin, she heard her boyfriend’s voice again.
"I’ll turn off the lights for you, okay?"
As he spoke, he began to push the coffin lid closed. ’This is turning off the lights?’
[Closing a lid to turn off the lights... I’m speechless!]
[I get it. He must think she’s still under the illusion.]
[So he was deliberately trying to test her just now?]
[But he probably didn’t see through her act, right?]
Ming Yue curled up in the coffin and cried for a while.
After she calmed down, she struggled, thinking about getting out.
But when she tried to feel her surroundings, she only touched a hard wall.
"This place is too scary. I don’t want to stay here anymore."
Panic laced Ming Yue’s voice. The thought of what she had just seen made her feel as if all hope in her life was lost.
Who could have imagined that her sweet, gentle, refined, and incredibly handsome boyfriend...
...was secretly capable of stretching his neck so long and had brought her to a tomb for a visit?!
Especially when he closed the coffin lid while smiling gently and saying he was turning off the lights. In that moment, she was utterly speechless.
[Don’t get me wrong, even though he was being perfunctory, don’t you guys think it really does have the effect of turning off the lights?]
[Forget it, I’d rather not have that kind of effect. If you like it so much, you can have it!]
Ming Yue was consumed by panic. She struggled, wanting to climb out and escape.
Su Nian reminded her, "Don’t move. He’s waiting for you right outside. Your reaction just now made him suspicious. If you go out now, it’s no different from courting death."
Su Nian, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. His voice was cold and clear, with a hint of impersonal detachment.
But it was also extremely calming. Ming Yue slowly composed herself, tossing and turning inside the coffin.
Finally, steeling herself, she pulled her clothes up over her face.
The person outside let out a soft chuckle, as if very satisfied with her action.
Then he walked out. Ming Yue heard the sound of footsteps fading into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to type, Su Nian’s voice came again: "Don’t move. This is a test!"
[My god, he’s so cunning! Who tests someone twice in a row?]
[Holy fuck, that’s insane. All I can say is, that’s next level. Absolutely next level!]
[You don’t see many guys who are this cautious. And of all people, this girl had to find such a "real catch!"]
[Please don’t let him back on the market! That face is genuinely good-looking. If he were in front of me, I’d probably fall for it!]
[Well, to be fair, not everyone is as lucky as this girl to have the host’s help!]
There were many comments from the viewers, and Ming Yue saw them all, but right now, all she felt was a deep chill.
She was worried that the person was still standing guard outside.
Su Nian also reminded her, "Be careful. Don’t move. He’s standing guard right outside. Do not make any strange movements. When he lets his guard down, I will naturally teach you how to leave this place."
In the darkness, Ming Yue trembled all over, not daring to say another word or make the slightest sound.
She could only give a shaky nod to show that she understood.
The footsteps outside the door seemed to move a little further away again.
The viewers were also a bit puzzled.
[This time it sounds like he’s really gone far, right? Listening to his footsteps, he should be outside by now!]
Su Nian’s expression was grim.
"His body left, but his head is still in front of this coffin."
Hearing this, the viewers were instantly horrified as an image formed in their minds.
A man with an incredibly, impossibly long neck, his head guarding the coffin while his body had already walked out of the room.
Just the thought of it was enough to make one shudder, and the reality was indeed just as, if not more, terrifying and bizarre.
"She must be asleep. I put a lot of drugs in here!"
A voice rang out—one that sounded withered, bizarre, and sinister just by listening to it.
This voice was very different from the one before.
It had become even more grotesque, as if floating erratically in the air—elusive, terrifying, and grim.
Inside the coffin, Ming Yue shuddered again.
She instinctively held her breath, but Su Nian reminded her.
"Relax. You can do that thing I just taught you. It will clear your head and sharpen your senses."
Ming Yue relaxed a little, but she remained incredibly tense.
She was just so scared. Who could have imagined that her boyfriend would turn out to be... this kind of thing.
The viewers were also getting confused.
[Host, what the hell is going on? I have a feeling this family is really not normal.]
[Could it be that they actually want to eat living people? They want to eat her.]
[That thought makes it even more terrifying. So scary.]
