Chapter 244: Chapter 244: The Second Person Asking for Help, I Think I’ve Encountered a Ghost

The moment Gregory Xander spoke up, viewers in the livestream had a knee-jerk reaction: "This guy just can’t take a loss."

Scarlett Jennings, however, didn’t think Gregory asked out of an unwillingness to lose. Especially since the newly admitted students from the Taoism Academy and other guest partners were also looking at her with the same question, she decided to put down her phone and explain seriously,

"Observe the trajectory of the rust on the swords and the depth of rust around them."

Gregory Xander and everyone else: ??

Scarlett thought for a moment and then pulled out her phone to open a drawing app, casually sketching a fan-shaped diagram, explaining as she drew,

"In the surveillance footage released by the person asking for help, at any given time, all swords in the footage showed rust trajectories in a fan-shaped pattern.

For example, the rusting rate of the first row near the broken sword was nearly 0.5 seconds faster than that of the second row. At the same time, in the first minute, the extent of rust in the first row was clearly deeper than in the second row.

Assuming the speed and extent of rust depended on the proximity to the source, one could easily deduce the center point that caused all the swords to rust, which is the corner not captured by the person asking for help."

Everyone watched as she spoke, quickly adding the display case distribution from the surveillance footage onto her fan-shaped diagram, naturally marking a circle in the fan’s extended area, right where the broken sword supposedly was.

In an instant, everyone felt that the image was so clear, it was immediately obvious where the problem originated.

[The question now is: uncle’s combined surveillance footage lasts less than ten minutes. How did she figure out which swords rusted differently in that time???]

[Don’t ask. You just won’t get it, it’s a world only understanding to the top scorers.]

[Promise me, don’t ask, don’t humiliate yourself.]

[I think I know now how our girl scored top in the college entrance exam.]

[You guys don’t understand? It’s simple, I understood it. It’s just those remarkable swords.]

[Above comment sounds like Luffy, anything can be remarkable.]

Scarlett looked at the barrage of comments flying past in the livestream, blinking, puzzled as to why everyone thought it was hard.

Spotted the clue the first time around, verified the guess the second time.

And during the second viewing, the uncle had actually slowed down the video speed.

It was perfectly clear.

Scarlett thought so but decided not to say it, seeing the serious expressions of the people around her.

Gregory understood how she located that broken sword when she sketched the fan-shaped diagram.

He just hadn’t expected finding the broken sword would be this... scientific.

This round, he had lost.

"Let’s start the next round."

When Gregory spoke, viewers couldn’t help but mock him again in the comments.

The guests, however, didn’t intend to mock him; they simply had more confidence on their faces after winning the first round of the help request.

Soon Amber Livingston hosted the lottery for the next help request.

"Our second help seeker, ID is [Pretty Fungus], is a voice or video connection okay?"

Soon, Pretty Fungus opted for a video call.

The livestream split in two, the other side showing a somewhat attractive young lady.

The young lady seemed about 25 or 26, wearing light makeup, but it was still apparent she was somewhat haggard.

The instant the connection succeeded, she instinctively looked toward Scarlett Jennings, visibly excited,

"Ah! My dear, can you see me? My dear, please help me!"

Clearly, she was a fan of Scarlett Jennings.

At that moment, everyone glanced at Gregory Xander with sympathetic eyes.

Meeting Scarlett Jennings’s fan in the second round, clearly, she was here for Scarlett, Gregory was sure to lose.

Scarlett remained relatively calm, only asking what happened.

Upon hearing this, Pretty Fungus immediately looked around in fear, then trembled as she spoke, "I think... I might have encountered a ghost."

The mention of a ghost immediately energized the livestream viewers.

While everyone enjoyed hearing about strange occurrences, the highlight of the supernatural genre was indeed about seeing ghosts!

Gregory, having grasped the pace of solving problems in this type of livestream from the previous round, took the initiative to ask,

"Explain in more detail."

The young lady hurriedly said,

"It’s like this. I’m currently traveling with my friend here in Hunan Province, but since yesterday, things have felt really off.

At first, it felt like something was following me on my way back, especially obvious when I returned to the hotel, but the hotel surveillance showed nothing.

Then last night, I saw a pair of eyes outside my room window!

They kept staring at me, super creepy! But my room is on the 18th floor, which means there can’t possibly be anyone outside! I was so scared that I called my friend over, but she said there was nothing outside.

When those eyes disappeared, I thought maybe I’d imagined it. But after lying down, I woke up in the dead of night to find numerous shadows in the room, and they were dancing! They danced in circles around my bed, I was nearly scared to death!

My friend, who stayed next door, came over to accompany me, but those things were still there, and she said she couldn’t see anything! I felt like I was going insane, so I hid under the covers for the rest of the night.

I didn’t know what to do, so I messaged the program and you overnight. Thankfully you saw it, boo hoo hoo...."

It was clear that the young lady was genuinely terrified, her voice trembling as she spoke.

The livestream viewers were also screaming after hearing her story.

[Darn, that’s too terrifying! Is she being haunted by something?]

[What do the ghosts want, keeping you up all night?]

[Hiding under the covers was the right move, according to the Human-Ghost Non-Aggression Pact, no demons or spirits can attack humans under blankets.]

[Really? I’ve already hidden under my blanket!]

[Hiding under mine too.]

[It sounds like she might have picked up something dirty while out and about, or something followed her back. Maybe think if you touched anything strange or bought any amulets from tourist spots?]

Upon seeing this comment, the young lady shook her head emphatically,

"No, I don’t have the habit of buying souvenirs from tourist attractions, usually just walk around, eating and sampling local dishes."

As she spoke, she suddenly stared at a spot ahead, showing clear fear on her face a moment later, and then screamed,

"Ahh! They’re back again!"

The young lady screamed, and her phone’s camera began to shake wildly.

With the furious shaking came an ear-piercing scream from outside the camera,

"Help me, my dear! They’re coming toward me!!!"
