So I Am A Demon Descendent!

chapter-200
11 P.M., Stevens Hospital, suburban Changle County.
Stevens Hospital was established in 1988. It was a Sino-foreign joint venture hospital. Its major shareholders were foreigners. When it was first built, it was the most famous hospital in the whole county. At that time, the county center was only over ten kilometers away from the hospital. Now, the county center had moved to the north of the city, and the original county center had become an outdated city area.
The hospital, which used to be magnificent, had been abandoned for more than ten years.
“This is a famous haunted place in our county. I don’t know when the hospital started to be haunted. At first, people in the hospital would hear strange cries in the middle of the night. The nurses on duty often heard footsteps echoing in the corridor, but the corridor was empty. Later, when some patients went to the toilet in the middle of the night, they would hear a woman crying in the adjacent cubicles.” Wang Sizhuo, the leader of the team, introduced the hospital to the two young men and women who had joined the expedition.
“Did it ask for toilet paper?” Li Xianyu, smoking by the car, added a sentence.“No, why would ghosts ask you for toilet paper?” Wang Sizhuo said, at a loss.
The two women giggled.
“Because I’ve seen it before. I got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, and a hand came out under the partition board and asked, ‘Do you have any paper…?’” Li Xianyu replied.
“Liar.” No one believed him.
The two cars parked outside the abandoned hospital, lights on. A group of young people were talking by the car, smoking.
Li Xianyu leaned against the car with a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at the abandoned hospital across the street. The hospital, which had been abandoned for more than ten years, looked very foreign. It had dark red walls, and traces of red bricks peeling everywhere. There were closed windows on the wall. Most of the glass was broken.
He always felt that there would be a figure in white within these dark windows… Someone who was logical would take a look at the abandoned hospital and flee in fear.The abandoned hospital stood silent in the dark. There was no light and sound, which gave people a feeling of desolation and stillness.
“I’ve heard from the industry that it’s the props group and actors who first step into the hospital to decorate the scene. That’s why we can get that effect.” A curly haired girl fiddled with a live broadcasting device, which looked like a camera.
She was wearing slim cotton elastic tights, the kind of sexy cotton pants that gym girls often wore.
The girl’s name was Xiao You. This was the name that she told everyone. She was a female broadcaster, who was broadcasting live on a well-known platform.
“They are big broadcasters. Can you match up to them?” Wang Sizhuo, the leader of the tour, retorted. This caused the pretty broadcaster to punch him repeatedly in the chest with her little fists.
“People say they really saw a ghost. Aren’t you afraid to run into a ghost in the hospital?” Li Xianyu spit out a beautiful cigarette ring.
“What are you afraid of? People are afraid of ghosts, but ghosts are afraid of people more. We’ve been to the famous haunted mansion in the capital, No. 81. Have you heard of it?” The yellow haired girl smiled.
“It’s a pity that the legend of that place is fake. There’s no ghost at all.”
Of course someone would think of that. It was the capital after all. Under the emperor’s feet, ghosts would have been cleaned up. However, it was not the same here. It was just a small, insignificant county.
This was a group of six people, comprised of three men and three women, who went to the abandoned hospital to do a late night live broadcast of supernatural activity.
About half a month ago, a big broadcast team came here to do a live broadcast, which was very successful. With this upsurge, this current live broadcast team came from Fuzhou to do the live broadcast as well.
However, they didn’t know that the broadcaster was taken seriously ill after the event, and called the police to say that he really saw a ghost. At present, he was still in a trance.
Great-Grandma was still seriously injured, so she was not suitable to fight. Li Xianyu took up a warm-up task and took her and Cui Hua to fight for some food.
After leaving Shanghai, they encountered the dragon salamander and Cui Hua. All of them were talents in the demon descendants’ community. It was very tiring. Especially after coming to Fuzhou, he almost died as well. Li Xianyu also wanted to relax and do some simple tasks.
It was good to deal with spirits. It was easy and enjoyable, just like watching horror movies.
An hour ago, when they came here, Cui Hua peered around for a moment, saying that the abandoned hospital was normal and had no ghosts.
There were two possibilities: first, there were no aggrieved spirits. Two, they hadn’t come out yet.
11 P.M. to 2 A.M. was the most sinister time of the day. Li Xianyu went to the busy city again and bought some sticks of barbecued food. The two people and one beast squatted across the street as they ate their supper. They planned to wait until 11 P.M. before going in.
Then, they ran into this live broadcast team.
“Your cat is very cute and bigger than ordinary cats. Can I touch it?” Xiao You came to Cui Hua and carefully reached out.
Unlike the fat pet cat, Cui Hua had a long, smooth and fit-looking body.
Cui Hua was looking down as she ate grilled fish. When Xiao You reached over, its left ear quivered slightly.
“Don’t touch it. She’s a fierce cat.” Li Xianyu blocked Xiao You’s hand, and Cui Hua retracted her paws.
After two men and one woman finished their make-up, they cut the lock of the iron door, and entered the abandoned hospital with their props. The three figures quickly disappeared in the dark.
It was just 11 P.M. Li Xianyu and Great-Grandma waited a few minutes, before entering the abandoned hospital with the live broadcast team.
Xiao You opened the live broadcast and smiled sweetly at the camera. “Hi, everyone, welcome to my broadcast. Today’s theme is on supernatural occurrences.”
She turned the camera to the silent and dark abandoned hospital and continued, “This is the famous haunted place in Changle County. The presence of ghosts in the world has always been one of the most controversial topics. Stevens Hospital in Changle County…”
She briefly introduced the background of the hospital, as well as the legends of haunted spirits. “What is the truth? Let Xiao You bring you to see the truth. This is such a horrible place, I dare not come alone. I have brought some like-minded people to explore this hospital together.”
“By the way, any friends here have a credit card? On account of my bravery, please sign up for a card, for those who don’t have it. I’ll show you my team.” Xiao You’s camera swept through the crowd. She remembered that there are two others behind her, and gave a little screen time to Li Xianyu and Great-Grandma.
“Wow, she’s beautiful.”
“Can I have her WeChat ID?”
“That’s the real broadcaster. Who are you? Give the camera back to the broadcaster.”
In the moment of the barrage, the audience in the live broadcast room asked for the contact information of Great-Grandma. Some asked for more shots of her, but Xiao You ignored the audience’s request.
She was the main lead tonight. She was not letting that high school girl take the limelight off of her.
The group faced the dark hospital building; the glass door of the outpatient registration hall was open. The dark interior was like a monster’s huge mouth, waiting for them to enter its trap.
Wang Sizhuo, the leader of the team, turned on his flashlight, and the bright light swept across the hall. He stepped forward and said, “Follow me.”
Li Xianyu stepped some distance away from them. He called himself a spirit lover. He said that he was here to explore and easily integrated into the broadcasting team. It could be seen implicitly that Xiao You was only a second or third rate female broadcaster. If she was a big broadcaster with an annual salary of several million dollars, she would definitely not bring outsiders into the team. If that was the case, their arrangement of “actors” in the hospital would be exposed.
Xiao You gave them a cute expression, and entrusted them to keep it secret.
Cui Hua stood on Li Xianyu’s shoulder and whispered, “If there are really aggrieved spirits here, aren’t you afraid that they would be in danger?”
Cui Hua was kind-hearted in nature. She hoped Li Xianyu could drive these people away.
“The code of Baoze’s employees is to keep things secret. Everything related to demon descendants should be kept secret. I have no reason to drive them away. They can’t blame others for their own death. Besides, we are here. Although we can’t spare them the shocks, at the very least, their lives would not be in danger.”
“Servant with an ugly soul, where’s your benevolent heart?” Cui Hua scratched him, complaining discontentedly.
The consultation hall was quiet, and the light of the flashlight swept through every corner of the hall. Xiao You held up the camera, followed the light beam of the flashlight, and said softly, “This place has really been abandoned for many years. The ground is full of dust. I also smell a mouldy smell… Ah!”
When the flashlight swept through the window, a figure suddenly appeared. It stood behind the window and silently looked at the people in the hall.
Wang Sizhuo and another girl were frightened by her, and they quickly asked, “What’s the matter?”
Xiao You’s voice was trembling as she pointed towards the window and said, “There’s someone there.”
Wang Sizhuo shone his flashlight towards the window. The light landed on the mottled walls and the old windows, but it was empty.
Li Xianyu took a look at the screen of his mobile phone, which was full of white flowers. Most of the comments were along the lines of: “Fuck, that scared me”, “Are there really ghosts?”, and “Mom, help, I can’t sleep at night.”
There were also those who told the broadcaster to escape quickly. Of course, there were no shortage of gifts, as the gift icons popped on the screen.
“There’s nothing. Are you delusional?” the girl with long black hair said.
“I really saw it.” Xiao You was determined.
“Hey, don’t scare us. We just entered. Tell me, what did it look like? Was it a man and a woman?” Wang Sizhuo asked.
“I didn’t see it clearly,” Xiao You said.
“I saw a black shadow too,” someone said as the screen popped up.
There was really someone at the window just now. Yes, it was one of the actors in the team. He stood by the second window. The flashlight didn’t directly shine on him, but when it shone on the third window, he stood up. The remaining light showed his silhouette, but only a vague figure. Hence, the audience in the broadcast saw a figure appear suddenly in the second window, but they could only see a blurred outline.
Li Xianyu thought to himself, You guys are very good at playing this game. Why don’t you make horror movies?
All of a sudden, he was worried about the three actors. They hid in the dark and pretended to be ghosts. What if they really met ghosts?
When the actor met a real ghost, he would say, “Hey man, are you here to dress up as a ghost too?”
The real ghost said that it didn’t want to talk to him, taking off its head and hit him.
This would be the real deal. The hospital was so big, and Li Xianyu and Great-Grandma did not have any teleportation abilities. If the actors really ran into ghosts, it depended on their Eight Characters to determine who lived.
