Chereads / I Am The Demon / Chapter 6 - Beauty

Chapter 6 - Beauty

"Really, you - !" Han Yao heaved a sigh as he closed the door on his side after he got inside the car. Su Yu has already seated on the passenger's seat. "Why are you seeking death?" he asked as he started the car.

"'seeking death'?" Su Yu muttered as his brows raised. "This is me seeking thrill, not seeking death." He corrected. Then, he made a pause. "Ah, that's not right either. This is me 'seeking justice, alright?" he told him when he recalled the people calling him 'Exorcist Su'.

Han Yao doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. They 'both' know what this 'exorcist Su' really means. That is, those things happening is just a 'coincidence' (only Han Yao thinks so). "Oh, then great exorcist Su has the heart of buddha." He said.

Su Yu shook his head, but there is a smile on his lips. He knows that Han Yao has already approved of him signing the contract of exploring the Purple Old Manor. "Thanks." He said.

"Hmph!" Han Yao scoffed as he drove his car. "Which kind of clothes do you want to wear for this exploration?" he asked as he drove Su Yu to the mall.

"Hmm… since it is an old manor…" Su Yu muttered as he opened the folder that Han Yao handed him earlier.

Han Yao almost hit the car on an island when he saw that Su Yu has the folder. He thought that he has already kept it in his bag earlier!

Su Yu looked at the pictures of the Purple Old Manor from the past and then the present. "It has the British style… then I want to dress like a young nobleman." He told Han Yao.

Han Yao nodded in understanding as he parked the car in the parking lot. Then, he and Su Yu went out of the car, heading to the mall. One of Su Yu's habits in livestreaming is to dress up according to the place where he will go. Like going to the Purple Old Manor this time, since the house is British style, then Su Yu wanted to dress up like a young nobleman. This is to set up the mood, making the audience feel like they have gone back to the time when these haunted places were not yet haunted like it was now.

In short, it is for immersive viewing experience. The audience would feel like they have lived in this place before, and now would experience to be haunted after the place has turned to a haunted place. And this kind of viewing experience is very effective, thus one of the reasons why Su Yu has become popular. As for another reason, it is because of Su Yu dressing up in different styles, to which would highlight his beauty more.

This makes the beauty anchors want to scratch him in frustration. Su Yu has already left the beauty department, yet he still haunts them even if he now has transferred to the horror department. But, they can't do anything about this since not only Su Yu is now favored by the company, but that Su Yu is really a strong livestream anchor. So, even if they dislike him, they also can't hate him. In fact, some of them are even secretly asking Su Yu for tips in attracting fans. Fortunately for them, Su Yu didn't bear a grudge when they casted him out earlier and really helped them. Now, their dislike turned to like! No, they worship him!

When Han Yao heard of this thing, he smiled, feeling proud of Su Yu. He knows that Su Yu might be indifferent at things like this, but isn't he also human? (well, for now) So, Han Yao knows that Su Yu, although not angry, but still feels disturbed of his working relationship with his colleagues. Still, Su Yu managed to buy their hearts in the end.

In short, Su Yu is good in interpersonal relationships. Which Han Yao is very thankful of since even if one is not an intelligent or even a fool, but as long as he could perceive the hearts of the people, then that is all that matters. In fact, some audience even like foolish characters. They think that foolish characters are cute, especially when they act spoiled. And then they would spam the anchor gifts. So, some anchors would go in this route (*the character set up).

At first, Han Yao thought that Su Yu could go for this route. Not to mention acting foolish and spoiled, but just with Su Yu's beauty, even if Su Yu would not speak nor even smile, the audience's hearts would definitely be captured. But, who would have thought that Su Yu would end up in the horror department? Not to mention become an 'exorcist'? Not to mention Han Yao, Su Yu's fans also didn't expect it.

But, what could Su Yu's fans do? They could only endure their fear in watching horror livestream just to support their favorite anchor! As they said, all for the beauty! Even the emperors fall for beauty, so how can they not ordinary people?! So, Su Yu's fans followed him and they were forced to watch the horror livestream. Surprisingly, the result is good.

Not only the fans did not feel scared because Su Yu was livening up the atmosphere as if he is strolling in a park instead of a haunted place, but Su Yu's beauty also blinded their eyes. Not to mention the creepy paintings hanging on the walls of the haunted houses, but even some blurred figures that they saw in the screen that was reflected in the mirror behind Su Yu was ignored by them since all their attention had been on Su Yu this whole time.

Well, this was what Su Yu intended in his first livestream. Su Yu knows that his audience would feel uncomfortable and scared. So, how to pacify them? Distract them! And what could he use to distract them? His beauty! Thus, Su Yu's first horror livestream ended up as a success.

Su Yu… he really knows how to pamper his fans.
