Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Congratulations, You’ve Really Encountered a Ghost This Time

With the scream, everyone in the live stream room instinctively held their breath, and many viewers in front of the screen hugged themselves in fear.

It felt like the thrilling sensation of watching a ghost movie online.

However, Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander on the other side of the stream remained calm.

They watched as the camera of the panicked mushroom girl swung around.

Scarlett was the first to speak, her voice cold yet comforting.

"You don’t need to be afraid, just close your eyes first."

The girl instinctively closed her eyes, but was still overly anxious, "Just closing my eyes will work? What if they come over when I close them?"

"They won’t come over," Gregory Xander replied coldly with certainty. "Because there’s no ghost in your room, you’re not having a ghost encounter."

Hearing Gregory’s voice, the girl opened her eyes and retorted,

"How can there be none?! It’s right there!"

Due to her intense doubt about Gregory’s words, the girl even forgot her fear, pointing at the "figure" approaching her.

Scarlett timely reassured, "There’s no Shadow Energy on you, what you see shouldn’t be a ghost."

"How is that possible? If they’re not ghosts, what are they?"

The girl was still skeptical.

Gregory seemed a little impatient and gestured for Nathan White to come over.

Nathan, who had been hiding in the corner, hesitated but slowly walked over.

Gregory pointed at the girl on the other end of the stream, "Check on her for me."

Nathan took a glance at the mushroom girl and immediately concluded, "This young friend is poisoned."

As soon as this was said, not only the viewers in the live stream but even the girl herself was dumbfounded.

"Poi-poisoned? How could that be? I..."

Before she could finish, Nathan hesitantly interrupted her, directly diagnosing, "It should be a mushroom poisoning, and the symptoms should have shown for over twelve hours."

The girl was inclined to refute Nathan’s words instinctively, but then, as if remembering something, she suddenly said,

"Oh... I had ’Soul-Crushing Mushroom Soup’ yesterday..."

Once she mentioned this, everyone on the stream fell silent for a moment, until Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t hold back her sarcasm,

"What kind of a weird name is that?!"

The girl’s ears instantly turned a little red, and she replied awkwardly, "I had it at a rural inn yesterday. The locals said it was their specialty mushroom soup..."

She swore it looked like an ordinary mushroom soup!

Moreover, she hadn’t even been to Yunnan Province, so how could she fall for it?

The viewers in the live stream, finally understanding the truth, were speechless,

[Hallucinogenic mushrooms don’t only grow in Yunnan, you know.]

[The girl must be really carefree, eating such a weird mushroom soup without any worry!]

[If it’s only the name that’s odd, most people would think it’s just a regular mushroom dish with a fancy name for business purposes.]

[Who would’ve thought the owner was so honest, actually giving you soul-crushing mushrooms.]

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. This truly is soul-crushing.]

[Now that I know the truth, I feel a bit disappointed. I was waiting in the bathroom expecting to see a ghost!]

[Exactly! He’s got his pants down, and you show him this!]

[...Please refrain from posting crude comments.]

Knowing she was poisoned by mushrooms rather than encountering a ghost, the girl was no longer afraid of the "figure" drifting around her and even had the leisure to read the viewers’ comments.

At this point, she showed an extremely awkward expression,

"I-I really didn’t know, because online it says mushroom poisoning symptoms involve seeing tiny people, but what I see aren’t tiny people, they’re adults..."

Nathan quietly explained, "The hallucinations caused by mushroom poisoning are different for everyone, as it affects the brain and is often connected to your subconscious imagination."

Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly understood.

Since following the series "Inspiration," she also developed an interest in metaphysics and had watched many ghost movies lately.

"No wonder... I could even see subtitles when I talked to you."

Hearing the girl’s muttering, everyone was taken aback.

Everyone: ???

Seriously, you didn’t notice anything strange when you saw subtitles while talking to people?

Where do normal live stream videos come with subtitles?

Even some in the live stream said seeing subtitles would indeed throw them off.

After all, people in Cathay Nation are used to subtitles when watching series.

No subtitles would feel off.

The girl obviously realized she’d made a huge blunder and awkwardly apologized to the program group.

Especially since today’s assistance segment was a competition between Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander; the girl felt guilty for disrupting Scarlett’s reputation battle.

Just as she was about to disconnect the call, her best friend burst through the door, accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked like a doctor.

"Mushroom, I brought a doctor from the nearby clinic to check on you. I think your situation looks like mushroom poisoning."

Hearing this, the mushroom girl felt awkward, "I already know it’s mushroom poisoning."

She glanced at the door and aside from her friend and the home-visit doctor, there was a plump woman with her head lowered.

She was wearing a red dress, but it was noticeably tattered, not resembling a nurse or hotel staff, just following behind her friend.

She instinctively pointed at her friend, "Who is that behind you?"

Her friend turned around, looked behind her, and then rolled her eyes back at her, "There’s no one."

She then turned to the doctor and said, "See? I told you she’s hallucinating badly, must have secretly eaten some mushrooms and got poisoned."

The doctor chuckled.

After being scolded by her friend, the mushroom girl, feeling embarrassed, assumed she was experiencing a new hallucination again. Just as she was about to look away, Scarlett’s voice suddenly reached her cold from the other end of the stream,

"You just suddenly exuded some Shadow Energy. Who came?"

The mushroom girl was initially confused but then seemed to realize something, trembling as she directed her camera towards her friend and the doctor.

Coincidentally, the woman following her friend was captured.

In the next second, Gregory Xander’s voice came through the phone, carrying a hint of mockery,

"Congratulations, this time it’s a real ghost encounter."

But the one actually encountering the ghost wasn’t the girl, it was her friend.

The live stream audience hadn’t recovered from this sudden twist when the mushroom girl’s eyes widened, pupils shaking as she looked ahead.

Because as soon as Gregory’s words were spoken, the woman following her friend seemed to sense something and slowly raised her head.

The girl unexpectedly met a pair of eerie eyes.

And a chilling, sinister grin slowly spread across the woman’s face.
