Cherreads

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Today is the day of the livestream. The time now is 5:45, and he still hasn't seen a shadow of that mausoleum.

Xievian felt sweaty. He is wearing a somewhat strange getup. It is just like what he wore today but upgraded.

He is still wearing a black hoodie, but this time, instead of sunglasses and a mask, he is wearing a faceless black metal mask that covers his entire face.

Aside from that, because there will be some interaction in the livestream, he equipped his mask with a voice changer.

He actually used GPS to locate the mausoleum, but it seemed to not be working. He had been walking in circles for the past 30 minutes. It's honestly very disappointing. He was very excited about this livestream. This place is filled with thick bunches of trees. It is very easy to get lost.

Fortunately, he did not give up or become late for his livestream. After a few minutes of walking, he finally saw a building that he could describe as coming straight from hell.

Xievian has never seen a place that screamed 'haunted' more than this. Overgrown vines, dark red cracks on the wall, suspicious stains that looked like blood on the door, and a strange weeping angel that looked off because of the peeling paint.

This screamed 'run.' Xievian did his research and even watched Samo's livestream. Despite his mental preparation, he was still very taken aback by what he saw.

Still, no time to stall. He opened his livestream and greeted his audience.

"Hello everyone! This is Hungry God! And today, we will explore the abandoned mausoleum beside the Eve Cemetery! I'm sure you've already heard of this place, right? Even if you aren't familiar with it, you've heard of the livestreamer Samo? That's right! This is the place. The place where he got himself injured."

Chat:

Sisi: Damn, he was for real!

Cold7: How long will this guy last? Samo only lasted 11 minutes inside the mausoleum before he jumped from the second floor.

Brother KoKo: Is this the newbie?

Animatronic: I'm not late, right?

Undie: I'm excited! I hope you'll last long enough, brother! I wanna see what's inside the mausoleum!

Fraudbuster: Another fake content?

Baby: I think just a desperate newbie.

Xievian saw the views. It wasn't much, it's around 40. He opened the system panel, then clicked the endorsement.

"Then my lovely viewers, let's begin."

He placed the phone on his chest using special equipment specifically used for livestreaming.

He looked up, and the said second-floor open window was there. He needed to climb up the tree near it and navigate using the branches.

He wasted no time. He climbed up the tree. He was face to face with the dark mausoleum. The view inside the window looked bleak. Xievian turned on the flashlight he strapped on his chest and, like a monkey, slowly made his way through the open window.

Chat:

Yenna: Damn, that's scary. There wasn't even a ghost yet.

Fuck me: How much did this newbie invest in this livestream? This video was recommended everywhere.

Gungun: Looks like I wasn't the only one who noticed it.

Betty: I was just watching some cute cat videos and this popped up.

Lilith: This guy really did it?

Ronaldtheduck: Sis above, is there a story behind this?

Xievian finally managed to reach the mausoleum. The moment his feet stepped inside, he was assaulted by a cold chill despite his thick hoodie.

It is very quiet inside that he could hear his own breathing. The only thing that connects him to the realm of the living was the live chat hovering above him.

This seemed to be an automatic system function. It is not annoying because it seemed to have a special function to make you ignore it until you want to see it.

Looks like the endorsement went well. He saw his views going up. It's now around 700 live views.

This time, he ignored the livestream, turned off the flashlight from his chest, and used a handheld one for better control.

He is now in what seemed to be the mausoleum hallway. It is a very big mausoleum, alright.

He could see a lot of doors lined up on his side. Xievian first touched the other closed windows and tried to open them.

They're stuck.

No matter how much he forcefully pulled it open, it wouldn't budge a bit.

He ignored it after a while. Then he shifted his attention to the doors.

Each door was covered with rust. Not the brown one but the red kind of rust. To be honest, it looked like blood to Xievian.

He twisted the knob of the door closest to him. Unexpectedly, the doorknob directly detached from the door. The other side of the knob was in Xievian's hands, while the other side, on the inside of the door, fell down to the ground.

Ding!

The sound of the fallen doorknob was deafening. Xievian paused for a moment, trying to sense any movement.

Chat:

Buggy: Host, can you speak?

Undie: I jumped out of my seat the moment the knob fell down.

Yenna: I hate this. (Covering eyes while peeking)

Lilith: As much as I want the host to speak, I'm scared for his life to request that.

Animatronics: This mausoleum is creepy as fuck.

(More chats)

[Ding! The system detected that some of your audience want the host to engage with them.]

The system sound almost made Xievian's heart drop. It startled him.

Speaking in this type of environment seemed very dangerous. But on the other hand, his goal seemed to be to uncover the secrets of the mausoleum, right? Sooner or later, he will encounter those strange things.

He might as well wreck things now.

"Oh dear, the doorknob fell down. That scared me."

After saying that, he pushed the door open. Inside was a room full of coffin headstones.

"I never knew that a mausoleum looked like this? Or is this a special case?"

He looked at the wall; the wall is even filled with engravings, signifying that, aside from the dead below, there are also caskets on the wall.

He carefully avoided each headstone below out of respect and surveyed the engraving on the wall.

Suddenly, he felt something behind him. He had a front and back cam, so the moment he felt something off, his eyes glanced at the live chat.

Live chat:

Sisi: HOST! SOMETHING SEEMED TO BE COMING OUT FROM THE COFFIN BEHIND YOU!
