This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame
Chapter 67. Scare Beichuan Si

Chapter 67: Chapter 67. Scare Beichuan Si

"The show’s effect was off the charts!!!"

"Tanaka Takashi’s livestream stumbled upon a treasure!"

"Mr. Beichuan is both handsome and strong! I just love him so much!"

"A kick that toppled the iron gate, if Mr. Beichuan’s kick were to land on someone..."

"..."

The livestream exploded!

Especially seeing the bewildered faces of Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu, who had not anticipated this, the show climbed to a peak at this moment.

Finally regaining their senses, Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu approached Beichuan Si, looked at the fallen iron gate, and asked incredulously,

"How did you do that, Mr. Beichuan?"

Beichuan Si glanced at the approaching Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu and answered calmly,

"I kicked it open."

"..." Tanaka Takashi, Yamakou Hideyasu.

We know you kicked it open! But the question is, with such a large gate in place, how on earth did you kick it open just like that?

Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu had scouted the place beforehand and had confirmed that they could unlock the gate with tools, so they deliberately left it closed. The gate was old but still in good condition, and it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to kick it open.

Seeing the speechless expression on their faces, Beichuan Si frowned slightly and said calmly, "I didn’t damage the lock."

"..." Tanaka Takashi, Yamakou Hideyasu.

Hearing this from Beichuan Si, the livestream chat went crazy again.

"Haha! Mr. Beichuan: ’I didn’t damage the lock, I just kicked down the door.’"

"Hahahaha, Tanaka and Yamakou are being despised by Mr. Beichuan! Even fans on the paranormal forum are despising them!"

"Hurry up and follow him! I want to see what Mr. Beichuan will do next."

Beichuan Si’s handsome and cool demeanor attracted many fans who liked this type.

Tanaka and Yamakou couldn’t see the live comments but knew they had to follow.

After all, they were responsible for bringing Beichuan Si, and they couldn’t shirk their responsibilities if something went wrong.

Both felt a chill as they stepped into Xucha High School.

Different from their daytime visit, there was an inexplicable chilling sensation in the air, and both Tanaka and Yamakou felt as if ice water had been poured down their spines.

Inside Xucha High School felt like a different world from the outside, with cold and eerie shadows flitting ahead and the path behind seemingly cut off by darkness, making breathing feel oppressive.

Beichuan Si was standing not far ahead.

He was frowning, seemingly looking at something.

"Mr. Beichuan." Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu jogged over.

Yamakou Hideyasu spoke, "If possible, please don’t wander off. Xucha High School has been abandoned for a long time, and aside from the scary school legends, there might be venomous snakes around. It’s dangerous to go alone."

"I’ll try my best," Beichuan Si replied, holding a flashlight, but his gaze still fixed in a certain direction.

Tanaka Takashi instinctively looked where he was gazing and realized,

"Mr. Beichuan, are you looking at the main building of Xucha High School? That’s also where we’re headed this time to explore Xucha High School and verify the rumors online."

"Is that so?" Beichuan Si withdrew his gaze and replied.

He indeed was looking at the main building of Xucha High School, but his focus wasn’t on scouring Xucha High School; instead, he was looking at a spot a bit inward on the fourth floor.

If he wasn’t mistaken, a faint black aura seemed to waft from that place.

Intense resentment mixed with bloodlines, almost as if to burst from Xucha High School.

If Mr. Beichuan wasn’t wrong, that should be where Class 2-B was located, which was also the place he needed to investigate during this visit to Xucha High School.

However, before that...

Mr. Beichuan glanced sideways at Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu.

He now knew that Class 2-B was harboring a vengeful spirit.

He wanted to investigate by himself, but taking along two paranormal forum hosts didn’t seem like a good idea to handle the situation alone.

While Mr. Beichuan was pondering, Tanaka Takashi switched the camera to night mode and introduced to the live stream viewers,

"We are now under the student cafeteria building, and not far ahead is the courtyard left by Xucha High School. As you can see, the whole area of Xucha High School is overgrown with weeds, and there are some small bushes on the road that may slow down our pace."

The chilling silhouette of Xucha High School appeared, its walls, faded and peeling, still bore the scars of a past fire.

After his introduction, Tanaka Takashi didn’t dawdle and came over to Mr. Beichuan to ask,

"Mr. Beichuan, where do you think we should explore first?"

"..." Mr. Beichuan.

Seeing that he really didn’t want to respond, Tanaka Takashi knew he had asked the wrong person.

He sighed pretentiously and said, "Alright, then let me lead the way. Let’s first check out the mirror in the dance room of the activity building."

Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu led the way in front, and Mr. Beichuan followed behind silently.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat lively, gradually turned eerie and tense.

"...Hideyasu," Tanaka Takashi lowered the volume and spoke in a hushed voice to Yamakou Hideyasu at his side, "Is everything set up over there?"

"I just gave the signal, it should be fine," Yamakou Hideyasu replied in a soft voice.

As the popular hosts of a paranormal forum, the success of Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu was no accident.

One, realistic settings and a palpable sense of fear that harrowed the soul.

Two, their formidable hands-on skills and exceptional ability to improvise on the spot, coupled with their outstanding courage.

Three, the production team’s props.

Among these, hands-on skills and the ability to improvise were their selling points. Once, in a partially collapsed psychiatric hospital, they used rudimentary props at hand and from their surroundings to make a daring ten-meter leap across the void.

They had the skills, but without those ’fearful unknowns,’ the live stream effect would significantly diminish, which was why the production team’s props were crucial.

Every time they announced a live stream, they came to scout various haunted locations a week in advance with their studio team.

Prop creation, various mechanisms...

Though it might sound rather unscrupulous, they knew they were just deceiving the live stream audience.

But so what?

Didn’t the youth of today relish such things? Japan had the Kokkuri-san game, China had the Pencil Spirit and Spirit Plate, Europe and America had the Ouija board.

To put it bluntly, even if these were fake, as long as the viewers believed they were real, then they were real. After all, most of the audience deep down believed that ghosts didn’t exist in the world, and they watched the live stream just for fun.

As long as the live stream viewers were entertained, nobody really cared whether it was real or fake.

Tanaka Takashi glanced at the expressionless Mr. Beichuan behind him and whispered low to Yamakou Hideyasu,

"Get Kanazawa to intensify the scare later. We have to make Mr. Beichuan frightened, otherwise there’s no show effect at all."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

As they reached a mutual understanding with a smile, Mr. Beichuan, trailing behind them, seemed to sense something and lifted his head, a black gleam flashing through his eyes.
