After the computer was turned off, the figure of the young boy being streamed live disappeared. Only then did the fans remember that they had forgotten about the leader, so they quietly switched back to the blogger’s updates.
They soon discovered that the comments were overwhelmingly against them.
Moreover, many of these people were familiar because they had recently fought together.
Even the leader of their fan club was among them.
The fans fell silent; the change was too sudden.
They immediately rolled up their sleeves and... joined in.
In an instant, the comment section transformed from a two-sided argument into a unilateral condemnation of the popular blogger.
[Sorry, leader, I know you’re not wrong, but I still think you shouldn’t post about food all the time.]
[Indeed, while it’s your choice what to eat, there are some people who can’t afford a meal and can only eat plain buns. It’s a bit cruel.]
The blogger, who casually posted updates as usual, replied: [???]
Most people understood that they were making a fuss for no reason, and the comments became more inclined towards teasing, which wasn’t too displeasing.
However, there were just too many comments, and within a short hour, the incident became a hot topic.
Most onlookers found it funny that such a trivial matter about food could trend.
But when they clicked and watched the screenshots that the fans posted online, they instantly didn’t find it as amusing anymore. They joined the ranks of those mocking and indulged in searching for more resources.
In the dim lighting, an expressionless man sat on the couch, watching the boy’s recording.
Instead of looking at the boy’s face like others, he focused on the boy’s delicate and fair hands.
After watching for a few seconds, he exited and checked the boy’s social media account.
The man couldn’t help but laugh, a laugh that was somewhat chilling.
It seemed like he...
He found his “prey” ahead of time.

Ruan Qing wanted to leave the rental house, but his situation prevented him from doing so.
After the series of events that happened yesterday when he went out, based on the original owner’s personality, it would be impossible for him to go out again tonight.
However, staying in this rental house was essentially like waiting for death.
Ruan Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He couldn’t panic at a time like this because if he did, it would undoubtedly be fatal.
First of all, he was secretly “kidnapped” by Jiang Sinian, and those three people would definitely look for him.
Now that his address had been exposed, those three people were highly likely to come looking for him.
Although they might not necessarily betray the livestream room for him, they could still be used.
Ruan Qing walked slowly to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the street below, as well as the walls of this building.
There was a narrow platform outside the walls of this building, as well as a large platform for placing air conditioners.
But it was really narrow and too long. It would require both attention and physical strength to crawl over to the next big platform.
If he fell, there would be little chance of survival.
Ruan Qing didn’t want to choose this method unless he had no other options.
Now it was time to see who had arrived first. He hoped it wouldn’t be the hunter.
Ruan Qing’s clothes were already missing two buttons, and when he drank water too quickly earlier, some of it spilled on his clothes, making him feel uncomfortable.
He glanced at Jiang Sinian, who was still unconscious on the bed, and found a washed-out T-shirt in the corner to put on.
The temperature was relatively low at night, and there was a high possibility of going outside tonight.
Ruan Qing thought for a moment and put on a slightly thinner jacket.
Just as he returned to the window to observe, footsteps could be heard outside the door.
The sound seemed to be approaching him, and clearly there were more than three people.
Ruan Qing paid no attention and continued to stare at the entrance of the main gate downstairs.
Just when Ruan Qing thought that the people were just passing by, an unexpected knocking sound came from behind.
Were they looking for him?
Ruan Qing paused and turned to look at the door.
If it was the hunter, it should only be one person. If it was Ji Yan and the others, there would be at most three people. But the footsteps indicated that there were many people.
Ruan Qing quietly walked to the door and glanced through the peephole.
It was... the group of players he encountered before.
This surprised Ruan Qing a bit. He didn’t expect them to be the first ones to find him.
But he could understand why they came to find the current target of the horror livestream room. If it were him, he would also do the same.
However, he didn’t have time to give them any clues now.
He couldn’t even guarantee his own safety, let alone expose his identity. He had no way to warn them about anything.
If they came to find him, they would only be a burdened to him, and they might even cause trouble for him.
The knocking on the door continued, but Ruan Qing made no sound.
It was as if he wasn’t in the room at all.
The people outside the door persisted in knocking, but Ruan Qing ignored them and returned to the window to observe the entrance downstairs.
This building had more than one entrance, but this entrance was the main gate, and most people would choose to enter from here.
Just as the knocking outside the door stopped, as if they were giving up, Ruan Qing widened his eyes as he watched the approaching figure downstairs.
The first one to come was...
Ji Yan!
If this group of players goes downstairs, they will definitely come face to face with Ji Yan, that lunatic!
Ruan Qing hadn’t forgotten that Ji Yan wanted to kill this group of players last night. If they encountered each other, it could be quite bad.
Ruan Qing quickly ran to the door and opened it slightly.
Creak!
Just as Su Xiaozhen was about to turn around and leave, the door they knocked on opened.
They turned around to look.
Someone was observing them through the crack in the door. It was the person they thought was a girl... but was actually a young boy.
The boy seemed nervous and uneasy, staring at them vigilantly. His slender fingers tightly gripped the door, as if he would immediately close it if anything seemed wrong.
Su Xiaozhen hurriedly ran over and softly spoke, afraid of startling the boy, “Hello, it’s me, Su Xiaozhen. We met last night. Do you remember?”
Ruan Qing didn’t answer Su Xiaozhen’s question. He looked at the elevator.
The numbers on the display were decreasing; the elevator was going down.
Someone pressed the elevator button downstairs.
He looked at Su Xiaozhen, feeling somewhat uneasy. He glanced around and urged in a low voice, “You should go that way.”
Ruan Qing pointed in the direction opposite to the elevator. There were stairs over there, another exit of this building.
The group didn’t understand what the boy meant.
The man who ran with Ruan Qing last night reached out his hand and pressed forcefully against the door, saying, “Hello, we came...”
However, the boy’s attention wasn’t on him at all. He stared fixedly at the slowly increasing numbers.
The elevator started coming up.
The boy panicked and withdrew his gaze, pushing the man urgently. His eyes were red from anxiety, making him look stunning. “You all should leave quickly.”
The boy’s gaze never left the elevator, and the group finally realized that something was wrong.
But now, it was too late.
The elevator had already... reached the fifth floor.
