Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Talking Nonsense in All Seriousness"Hello everyone, I’m Catherine, and my regular viewers should all know that just two days ago, I suddenly had a Ghost Collision, but today, I’ve found a professional and after negotiation, he has agreed to live stream this ghost-hunting session."
Miss Catherine stood in front of the holographic live streaming drone, anchoring the day’s live broadcast topic with professional poise.
Although, thanks to the Heart of Bright Mirror, Feng Xue could clearly hear the fear in her voice, on the surface, it was completely imperceptible.
However, today Feng Xue was playing the role of a ghost hunter, so he showed no affinity for the camera either. While Catherine was speaking, he sat on the sofa, quietly flipping through the materials in his hands.
"Mr. Simone, what are you doing right now?" Catherine, having finished her opening remarks, approached Feng Xue like a journalist, asking with a curious tone that did not seem forced.
"I’m looking at the reports of the haunting here. Of course, if you weren’t live streaming and we were having a direct conversation instead, I think we could progress quicker."
[Who is this guy?]
[How dare he speak to our Catherine like that!]
[Just another con artist trying to act cool!]
[Such a simp!]
...
Stealthily viewing the live chat, Feng Xue saw a barrage of negative comments without any change in his demeanor; haters are also fans, the worry is having no fans at all, the more people curse, the more traffic you get naturally.
Catherine was clearly experienced as well, not responding to those comments but swiftly adjusting her tone, asking:
"So what do you want to know?"
"The specific time and place of the haunting, as well as what you were doing before it happened." Feng Xue laid out the materials in his hand and spoke without even lifting his head.
Although Catherine felt a bit slighted, she also knew that this kind of live broadcast might actually have a better effect than one with complete cooperation. Suppressing her annoyance, she slightly adjusted her facial emotion expression module and then let out a hint of scared emotion as she said:
"The haunting started three days ago, right after I finished streaming. I just sang a few songs and read some comments, and then, as I was about to wash up, I suddenly felt a gaze on me, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. At that time, I just thought it was my imagination, but yesterday, during my stream, the drone camera captured an eyeball."
As she spoke, Catherine’s voice appropriately trembled, while Feng Xue took out a photo from his materials. It was an ordinary live stream screenshot, but upon close inspection, one could find a bloodshot, crimson eyeball in the corner between the closet and the wall behind the streamer.
"Is this it?" Feng Xue inquired, pointing to the eyeball in the photo. Catherine retreated two steps backward, then spoke with an embarrassed, timid voice:
"Yes, it was the viewers in the live chat who pointed it out to me. At that time, I called the security guard to
"It’s simple. Once a ghost is observed by people, its form collapses, so all you need to do is find it and keep staring at it to capture it."
As Feng Xue spoke, she opened her briefcase and took out something that felt both familiar and strange—
The Constantin k-729 head-mounted visual aid system.
This device was infamous because it was one of the rare failures for Constantin Company. As a visual aid system, it had many minor issues like being heavy, having high energy consumption, and a poor center of gravity. However, what really doomed it was that it had too many integrated features—Infrared vision, ultraviolet vision, magnetic-field vision, automatic microscope system...
If these features had been distributed across separate products, they likely would have sold well. But the problem was, they were all integrated, and the users who needed this device could often only utilize one or perhaps a few of its functions.
Catherine saw Feng Xue taking out such a device, and immediately, many speculations popped up in her chat. Catherine picked one that seemed the smartest and asked:
"Mr. Simone, is this visual aid system modified? For example, can it see ghosts?"
Upon hearing Catherine’s question, Feng Xue simply shook her head and said:
"Actually, it’s very difficult for humans to see ghosts with their own eyes. What our eyes see are very blurry points, and the clear images we perceive are actually constructed by the brain from these points, so the intensity of information reception is not high, and it disturbs ghosts very little.
"However, with the advent of modernity, the emergence of electronic eyes and visual aid devices has increased mankind’s ability to capture information, and our observational powers have grown stronger, making it easier to catch sight of these entities."
Feng Xue spoke nonsense with a serious air, yet with a sense of compassion for humanity, to which Catherine immediately had an epiphany:
"In other words, by wearing a high-intensity visual aid system, we can see ghosts?"
