Chapter 213

She had already chosen the song; she would sing "Under Investigation," the promotional BGM for the TV series *Reset*.

This was a song with a beautiful melody and was super pleasant to listen to.

Zhou Sheng and Hu Mengzhou had once collaborated on this song on *The Gifted Voice*.

The reason the young lady chose it was to save money.

Recently, customizing songs within the system had caused her savings balance to decrease rapidly, so she had to be steady.

Therefore, she thought of this one.

This was included in the rewards when she extracted the script for *Reset* earlier.

It highlighted two words: pleasant and cheap.

On the other side.

Countless fans, holding curiosity and anticipation for *Ghost Blows Out the Light*, clicked on the novel to start reading.

Female web novel author Xue Rou was one of them.

At this moment, she was with her boyfriend in their BYD Han car, heading out for a trip, with her boyfriend driving.

Bored.

Xue Rou tapped her phone, turned on the newly developed intelligent audiobook function of Feilu Novel Network, and started listening to the novel.

Although the storytelling effect of this software wasn't as good as a human narrator, it was much better than a dry reading, as it could automatically adjust emotions based on the context.

As a magnetic voice rang out in the enclosed space of the car, the audiobook began.

【Tomb raiding is not sightseeing, not reciting poetry, but a technique—a technique of destruction. When ancient nobles built their tombs, they must have tried every possible way to prevent their tombs from being robbed. Therefore, they used every possible means, setting up various mechanisms, hidden weapons, ambushes, giant stones, quicksand, poisonous arrows, poisonous insects, pits, and countless others...】

Tomb raiding?

Xue Rou and her boyfriend were both stunned as they listened to the voice.

Isn't this a supernatural novel?

Why did it start by talking about tomb raiding?

"Could it be that Xu Mingyue's novel is about the protagonist going tomb raiding and then encountering a ghost?" Xue Rou was also in the web novel business and immediately started to imagine.

In fact.

It wasn't far off.

It was just a bit more terrifying than encountering a ghost.

The two of them, filled with curiosity, continued to listen.

【My grandfather's name was Hu Hu Guohua. The Hu family ancestors were famous landlords in the area, and in their most glorious period, they bought more than forty houses connected by three alleys in the city...】

Hearing this.

Xue Rou's red lips parted, and surprise flashed across her face.

What surprised her was that this was actually a book written in the first person.

Xu Mingyue was truly bold!

You have to know that this was a narrative style that had long been eliminated by the web novel circle; readers were accustomed to reading novels in the third person.

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

If used well, a supernatural novel in the first person could increase immersion and the reading experience.

It just really tested the author's skill.

It could only be said that she was worthy of being Xu Mingyue—skilled and daring!

The two continued to listen.

Soon, the terrifying plot appeared:

【In order to deal with his uncle, after Hu Hu Guohua returned home, he found a craftsman in the village to make him a paper person—the kind burned for the dead. The paper-making master was very skilled, and he made a white paper-pasted paper woman for Hu Hu Guohua as requested... Hey, it really looked just like a living person.】

Under the influence of the empathy talent.

"Hiss."

"Hiss."

Xue Rou and her boyfriend both gasped, their faces turning slightly pale.

That paper person seemed to appear before their eyes through the text description.

It was chilling.

The voice continued.

It said that a few days later, Hu Hu Guohua's uncle came to visit his nephew, only to find a beautiful young wife in the room. He praised Hu Hu Guohua a lot, but Hu Hu Guohua felt a thud in his heart, and a chill rose up.

Because this woman was the paper woman he had asked someone to make!

She... had come to life!

Xue Rou and her boyfriend also felt their scalps tingle.

The text wasn't particularly terrifying, and the plot wasn't particularly tense, but just like an old story passed down by word of mouth, it was chilling.

Moreover, for some reason, the more they listened, the more terrifying it became, and their hearts were tense and trembling.

Even though it was broad daylight, it gave off a gloomy feeling.

Xue Rou, sitting in the passenger seat, even faintly felt that there was something in the back seat.

She had disheveled hair, her face was particularly white, and there was no blood color at all...

The reader was scared, and Hu Hu Guohua in the book was equally scared; he decided to get rid of the paper person.

【Hu Hu Guohua went up to burn the paper person, but the paper person suddenly spoke, scolding him for being heartless and saying she wanted to marry him. Hu Hu Guohua naturally didn't dare to agree, and the paper person told him that she was a ghost attached to the paper person, and if he couldn't go on living, he could find her at Shisanlipu...】

It's a ghost!

Xue Rou and her boyfriend felt uncomfortable all over, and goosebumps broke out.

"Turn... turn it off, I'm scared, this novel is really terrifying."

It wasn't that they didn't want to watch; the story was very exciting and engaging, but the painful part was that it was too exciting and too scary.

He hadn't forgotten that he was driving at the moment; if there was something even more terrifying later, it would be easy to have an accident.

"Okay!" Xue Rou nodded in response.

She had always been brave, but at this moment, she was already scared and felt fearful in her heart.

The strange thing was that although she was afraid, she wanted to continue listening, as if this novel had some kind of magical power that could hook people.

However, it was clear that the current environment was not suitable for continuing to listen.

"People light candles, ghosts blow out lights—worthy of Xu Mingyue! The new book is amazing! Both scary and good-looking!" Xue Rou exclaimed.

Her boyfriend on the side nodded in agreement.

He hadn't been this scared reading a novel in a long time.

What was even more absurd was that this was only the first chapter of the novel.

The terror and excitement that followed could be imagined.

The plot of "the paper person coming to life" was actually something many people hadn't seen because, for some reason, it was later deleted by the original author.

But the novel the young lady obtained from the system was complete.

There was no such restriction in Blue Star China, so she chose to keep it.

On the other side.

Feilu Novel Network.

Gu Gu Qingyao's teeth were already chattering, her heart was feeling very cold, and there was no blood on her pretty face.

At this moment, she had already reached the Savage Valley.

If the beginning of the novel was just eerie, then from the moment Hu Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Yingzi entered the Savage Valley to the Liao General's tomb, and then into the Kwantung Army fortress, the whole novel became gloomy!

The terrifying atmosphere was instantly pushed to the limit!

Evil things emerged one after another, and the tension and excitement kept her nerves taut.

Red Hou Zongzi!

Grassland Giant Otter!

And the two dead boy and girl children...
