Chapter 173: 163. Factory at Midnight

Yamakou Hideyasu, Tanaka Takashi.

I couldn’t believe it was those two again.

Hadn’t the last lesson been enough? Did they want another go?

They should know that the vengeful spirits inside the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory actually have the means to kill—

Beichuan Si couldn’t help but flip through his phone to check the push notifications on YouTube, getting an idea.

The live stream time for Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi was late at ten at night, exactly like the last time, where they drew a live lucky viewer to accompany them on an adventure into the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory.

"Late at ten at night... These guys always pick their times."

The ghost stories at the Name Wall were at midnight, and Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi had picked a time quite close to that for their exploration.

Beichuan Si also planned to go during the day to take a look around and then check the situation again at night, which undoubtedly collided with Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi’s exploration time.

"No choice but to make a call," Beichuan Si muttered after a while, jotting down the work studio number of Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi, and dialed it.

After a long while, someone on the other end of the line picked up, and a male receptionist’s voice came through:

"Hello, Ghostly Adventure Studio."

"Can you put me through to Mr. Yamakou and Mr. Tanaka?"

"Do you have a reservation?"

Reservation?

Beichuan Si frowned, replying calmly, "No."

"Then could you please make a reservation before—"

Beichuan Si remained calm, but his tone was much firmer as he said, "I am friends with Mr. Yamakou and Mr. Tanaka. I currently have an investment under consideration for your studio, but first, I wish to discuss it with Mr. Yamakou and Mr. Tanaka. Could we make an exception?"

His voice was full of confidence, not trembling in the slightest, as if he really did bring a ’big investment’ to discuss with Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi.

"Please hold on."

The other side hesitated for a moment.

After some inquiries, the voice returned:

"I will put you through to Mr. Yamakou right away."

With a crisp sound, Yamakou Hideyasu’s somewhat excited voice came through from the other end:

"Hello? Is this the gentleman?"

"Beichuan Si," Beichuan Si stated coldly.

Ah?

Yamakou Hideyasu’s eyes widened, momentarily at a loss for words.

Beichuan Si?

Was it really that Beichuan Si?

He dazed for a long while—

An even more surprised voice came through:

"Is it Beichuan Master?!"

"..." Beichuan Si.

"Don’t call me Beichuan Master." Beichuan Si’s voice dropped several degrees.

What’s with these young people nowadays?

Always calling people Mage?

"Oh... alright, alright." Yamakou Hideyasu nodded hesitantly and then asked after a moment:

"Then... Brother Temple?"

Brother Temple?

To be honest, Yamakou Hideyasu was in his twenties—actually quite a bit older than Beichuan Si. Calling him Brother Temple felt a bit strange, but since he preferred it, Beichuan Si just nodded:

"That’s fine."

Sigh...

Hearing Beichuan Si’s calmed voice again, Yamakou Hideyasu let out a small breath and added, "I really didn’t expect to hear Brother Temple’s voice again."

After Beichuan Si had disappeared without a word last time, Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi had started to believe in some creepy and horrifying stuff.

After all, some effects simply couldn’t be achieved with props.

The text message that arrived nearly two hours late was still lying in Yamakou Hideyasu’s phone.

But Yamakou Hideyasu and his colleagues had to continue adventuring.

After all, this was their livelihood; even though they were scared and didn’t want to flirt with death, they had no choice but to do it, as not doing so meant no food to eat.

Establishing a large studio was not an easy feat; who could just give it up easily?

Even knowing the dangers, they could only prepare measures against them—but they couldn’t just not go.

Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi were not reckless with their lives, but asking them to let go of the work studio they had built up was definitely impossible.

During this period, Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi had thought of Beichuan Si more than once.

Keep in mind that back in Xucha High School, this tough character had single-handedly carried the two of them out.

As for the vengeful spirits...? Surely they had been dealt with by Beichuan Si, otherwise the two of them wouldn’t have been rescued.

And after all, Beichuan Si was also their lifesaver, in both senses of the word, so they really needed to express their gratitude, didn’t they?

Upon hearing Beichuan Si take the initiative to call them, Yamakou Hideyasu could barely contain his excitement.

But Beichuan Si’s next sentence doused all the excitement in his heart:

"I’m calling you this time to ask you to cancel the live broadcast."

Cancel the live broadcast?...

Yamakou Hideyasu was no fool. If Beichuan Si said this, there had to be a reason, and speaking of reasons—

"Brother Temple, could it be this time... the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory also has those things?"

He asked tentatively.

"Most likely."

Beichuan Si on the other end was as aloof as ever, speaking concisely.

Most likely???

Yamakou Hideyasu’s mouth twitched; he hadn’t expected that he and Tanaka Takashi would be so ’lucky’ to hit the mark twice.

After a long while, Yamakou Hideyasu continued:

"Could we ask Brother Temple to come over to our studio? We are currently at an inn in the Ogao Mountain Area preparing for tonight’s broadcast; there are some matters we’d like to discuss with Brother Temple face-to-face."
