Chereads / I Am The Demon / Chapter 5 - Meeting

Chapter 5 - Meeting

"Although I feel happy to hear that you are being hardworking with your job, but I also feel sad since this time, you are going to a very dangerous place." Han Yao spoke as he waited for Su Yu to finish dressing up.

"Every haunted place is a dangerous place." Su Yu spoke from inside his room. "But, there is still the difference in the danger level… but to us horror anchors." He said.

Han Yao doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. "And for you, these things are not a threat at all?" he said.

"So you know." Su Yu said.

Han Yao heaved a sigh.

"You keep repeating that the Purple Old Manor is a dangerous place… did something happen in it?" Su Yu asked as he went out of his room. This time, he looked presentable.

"En." Han Yao nodded. "Do you remember the news this morning earlier?" he asked.

"It is related to the Purple Old Manor?" Su Yu guessed.

"Yes." Han Yao nodded as they went out of Su Yu's apartment unit. "It wasn't on the news, since haunted places are a part of feudal superstition, but – " he said as they entered the elevator. " – the criminal actually was found to have passed by the Purple Old Manor." He told Su Yu in a low voice when he saw that there are other people in the elevator.

Su Yu's brow raised when he heard what Han Yao said.

Han Yao's expression is serious. "This time, the people are saying that this Purple Old Manor is evil!" he told him.

"Oh." Su Yu's expression remained indifferent.

Han Yao doesn't know what to say to Su Yu. "Hey. Really, it is evil!" he whispered as he scooted closer to Su Yu. "I don't know whether it was just that crime that happened last night that is related to the Purple Old Manor, or there might be some other things." He said as he glanced at the people inside the elevator. "I am still investigating… but see, this place is really evil!" he told Su Yu.

Behind them, a person wearing a hoodie turned his head to their direction. But, he immediately turned back while adjusting his eyeglasses. Behind the lens of his eyeglasses is a pair of eyes that have no light. He is blind.

"'evil', huh…" Su Yu muttered. Indeed, he has not yet gone to the places that reek evil. If this Purple Old Manor really is an evil place… his eyes narrowed behind his fashion eyeglasses. He places his hands inside the wide pockets of his comfy hoodie jacket. "Then, all the more that I should take it." He said when they reached the first floor.

"Huh?" Han Yao muttered as he looked at him, dumbfounded.

Su Yu looked at him. "Because I am an 'exorcist', right?" he grinned as he walked out of the elevator.

"… wait, xiao Yu!" Han Yao finally returned to his senses and immediately ran after Su Yu.

Some people who saw Su Yu can't help but throw a second, third, and fourth glance. Some of them even almost bumped into the pillar.

"Damn! He is so handsome!" the girls who were frozen on their feet exclaimed as they watched Su Yu walk by.

"Is he a model?" one of them can't help but ask. If he is a model, then they will definitely buy his magazines!

Han Yao, who is following behind Su Yu, turned when he heard what they said. "No, no… he is not a model – " he said as he took out a business card and gave it to them. " – he is a livestream anchor of Fanfan Livestream. His name is 'Mo Yu'." He told them and smiled. "And, oh. He is a horror livestream anchor." He clarified before he immediately ran after Su Yu.

"… a horror livestream anchor?" the girls muttered as they looked at each other before they covered their mouths to silently scream in excitement.

"A beautiful shou showing a scared expression… his already fair skin turning paler because of the ghosts…" one of them muttered.

"Then suddenly, a light flashed as a heroic and handsome gong fell down from above and saved him… aaaaah!!!" they all can't help but squeal.

"Sister, pen it!" another of them said.

They all giggled.

"'Fanfan Livestream'…" a person wearing a hoodie muttered as he stopped and turned to the direction of the girls. "'horror livestream anchor'… 'Su Yu'?" he muttered as he resumed walking. And, he also heard in the elevator earlier – "'exorcist'?" he raised his head. His hood slipped down, revealing a youthful fair face that looked like devoid of blood. His lips also looked pale in color, making one think whether he has an illness.

But, one thing that they can be sure of is that this young man is blind.

"Eh? Senior Duan?!" the girls from earlier exclaimed in surprise when they saw the blind young man.

Duan Yuan turned to face them. "You are…?" he muttered.

"We're your schoolmates, senior!" the girls answered, feeling very excited. They have met their school learning tyrant! Senior Duan Yuan! He is also popular because he is good-looking!

"What is this luck?! First we saw an extremely beautiful livestream anchor… a horror livestream anchor!" one of the girls said. "Then, we met senior Duan – the learning tyrant!" she said and clutched her chest, feeling like fainting from excitement.

The other girls nodded in agreement.

"Senior, shall we go together to school?" one of them asked with a bright smile when they saw that Duan Yuan is holding a book. Obviously, he must have fetched this book that he has forgotten.

Duan Yuan didn't feel that there is anything wrong with it. "Yes." He nodded.

The girls clapped their hands as they followed behind Duan Yuan while chatting. Their topic is naturally Su Yu, whom they have seen earlier.

"I have heard of Fanfan Livestream before, but then didn't think much of it because it is a new platform…" one of them said. "I didn't know that there would be a treasure in it!" she said, feeling regretful.

The other girls nodded in agreement. They already have livestreaming platforms that they are following. They didn't know that there would be a godly beauty in this new livestreaming platform.

"A horror anchor… it is really unexpected… I thought that he would be a beauty anchor!" they were really surprised.

Duan Yuan heard that they are talking about the man from the elevator earlier. 'exorcist'… 'evil'… 'Purple Old Manor'? he thought. Then, he stopped, before he turned to the girls.

"Senior…?" the girls looked at him in surprise.

"… how do I get to the Fanfan Livestream?" Duan Yuan asked.
