After emerging from the advanced training room, Jiang Lin went straight back to the Eighteenth Hall.
"Greetings, Hall Master."
"Greetings, Hall Master."
Many Bao and Niu Xiaoguo saw the Hall Master's figure from afar and quickly stood at attention.
Jiang Lin nodded and casually asked, "Has anything happened in the hall recently?"
Many Bao and Niu Xiaoguo shook their heads in unison, "Reporting, all is well."
The members of the Eighteenth Team knew their captain had gone out to "compete," so they didn't ask further.
They still reported to the hall and conducted their daily training as usual.
Hearing this, Jiang Lin nodded and flew into the Eighteenth Hall.
After looking around, he didn't find the robot ball or Xu Nan.
He also didn't see the paper effigy he had specifically left in the hall.
He synchronized with the paper effigy's vision and then discovered that those two little fellows had gone on a mission.
The paper effigy had followed them.
However, the paper effigy mostly stayed hidden, watching quietly.
It would only intervene when Xu Nan and the robot ball were unable to handle the situation and their lives were in danger.
As soon as Jiang Lin synchronized his vision, the live-streaming little round ball actively appeared.
Since Jiang Lin arrived in the mortal world, it had been at least a week since it had live-streamed (gossiped).
"Ding~ Detectable synchronizable footage, automatic synchronization in three seconds."
"Note: Host can end synchronization at any time by speaking."
Jiang Lin glanced at the active and slightly excited live-streaming little round ball.
He reminded it, "Set it to play with a one-hour delay."
"Ding~ Setting successful!"
...
The Mortal World.
An hour later, it was precisely around seven o'clock.
The viewers had just finished dinner, resting either sitting or lying down.
Zhou Tangtang was no exception.
After dinner, her husband was cleaning up at the dining table, while she was on the sofa watching their one-year-old son.
As she tickled him, the little milk baby giggled "hehehehe."
His laughter was carefree, innocent, and bright.
It made people want to pinch his cheeks.
Ding~
Ding~
The phone screen, placed in the corner of the sofa, lit up, and two message notification sounds rang out consecutively.
After pinching her son's cheek again, Zhou Tangtang picked up her phone to check it.
Upon seeing the first message, her eyes lit up with joy.
She called out to her husband in the kitchen, "Honey, hurry up, the streamer is live!"
The streamer she was referring to was naturally Lord Jiang Wuchang.
When she was pregnant, her in-laws had constantly advised her not to watch these "underworld" live streams.
They were afraid it would be bad for the child and attract those "dirty things."
To this, Zhou Tangtang smiled and agreed outwardly, but then she asked her husband to mediate.
The streamer's live stream would attract ghosts and monsters?
Ghosts and monsters would probably flee as fast as they could upon seeing the streamer.
Back when the mortal world was in chaos, if it weren't for the spirit hearse contracted by the streamer pulling her along, she didn't know where she would be now.
Besides...
The reason she and her husband met was all thanks to the "Daily Healing in the Underworld" live stream.
Speaking of which, this live stream was their matchmaker.
In short, any negative comments about the live stream, she would just let them go in one ear and out the other.
Of course, she also knew her in-laws meant well.
So, she didn't argue outwardly.
She just asked her husband to mediate.
This way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship wouldn't become awkward.
From the kitchen, her husband turned off the faucet and poked his head out.
"What did you just say?"
Zhou Tangtang: "I said the streamer is live, hurry up and come watch with me."
Husband: "Okay, you watch first."
Only then did Zhou Tangtang shift her gaze and look at the second message that had just popped up.
It was a WeChat message.
[Team Lead: The client has a last-minute revision to the plan. Xiao Zhou, please handle it. Then submit it to me.]
Zhou Tangtang's good mood instantly vanished: "..."
Go to hell with your last-minute revisions, can't you do it yourself?!
She was already off work, would she get overtime pay?
Zhou Tangtang looked at the streamer's live stream, then at the team lead's message.
Finally, she decisively chose the former.
Anyway, tomorrow she would just say she didn't know, she had turned off her phone after work.
Why turn off her phone?
She had to take care of the baby!
"Big White Milk Candy: Brothers, I'm here!"
...
"Ding~ The 'Daily Healing in the Underworld' live stream you follow has started, come and take a look!"
As phone notification sounds rang out one after another.
More and more viewers entered the live stream.
Ten thousand, a million, ten million...
If it were a normal live stream, with so many people flooding in within a few minutes, the server would have crashed countless times.
But this live stream had never crashed.
Even the official channels in the mortal world had publicly envied it several times.
Sometimes, when they held large-scale live broadcasts, due to too many people, they would experience lag or crashes.
It was truly helpless.
"Hello, streamer, another day of guarding the live stream~"
"Li Yu Not Carp has gifted the streamer a sports car*1, with the message: Please notice me~"
"The person upstairs asking to be noticed, is it for easier guidance later? (doge)"
"Hahaha... Make way, I'm setting up my stall, today's recommendation: Immortal Grass Ice Cream!"
Everyone in the live stream was smiling, and the bullet comments were cheerful.
A new viewer asked curiously:
"Why is everyone so happy? Isn't this live stream supposed to be quite serious?"
The old fans saw it and thought, "Oh, a newbie has arrived."
So they patiently replied, "It is quite serious, and quite depressing."
Before the newbie could be confused, the old fans, each saying a sentence, provided the answer.
"If you don't laugh now, you won't be able to laugh later."
"Yeah, every time I use up a pack of tissues, my girlfriend misunderstands me."
"Look at the name of this live stream, it's actually called [Depressing Daily Life]."
"You probably won't believe me, but I'm watching the live stream on my computer and playing 'Makka Pakka' on my phone..."
The newbie suddenly understood, "So that's how it is!"
...
As the viewers happily entered, the live stream screen slowly unfolded before their eyes.
"Huh? Where is this, isn't it dark yet?"
In the scene, the sun was setting.
The sky was a warm orange-red.
On a utility pole in a small town, a crow tilted its head, looking at something.
It was dinner time, and the roaring sounds of range hoods could be heard from kitchens in various houses.
Even so, the aroma of dishes still permeated the alleys.
Making passersby hurry home.
A female university student, with her hair tied in a ponytail and carrying a small sheep-shaped bag, walked into an alley.
She seemed very familiar with this place, not even looking around at the intersections.
She walked directly towards her destination.
Her steps were light, and her expression was relaxed.
As if something good had happened.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her:
"Su Meng."
Hearing this voice, the female university student stopped.
She immediately turned around, her face showing a delighted expression.
"Zhou Yang!"
However, there was no boyfriend behind her.
Nor was there any surprise.
In the empty alley, from beginning to end, she was the only one there.
Su Meng's expression froze, and a hint of fear arose in her heart.
Did she hear wrong?
Or was it something else?
She turned around, preparing to leave this place quickly and go home.
But she found her feet couldn't move.
Not just her feet, her entire body was as if frozen in place.
Motionless.
Her whole body was ice-cold.
She felt her soul tremble.
At this moment,
She finally understood why she couldn't move.
...
