Hearing these words, Yun Xialan froze for a moment before realizing that since Bo Jingmo was already dead, her only remaining task was to reach 200,000 followers.
Just by releasing tonight's video, she could easily surpass not just 200,000 but possibly even 2 million followers.
With this thought, she immediately dropped to her knees with a "thud," pleading in a trembling voice: "I beg you... just let me post one video, just one video, please."
As long as she reached 200,000 followers, she could leave this dungeon.
Points and rankings no longer mattered—nothing was more important than survival.
Yu Li slowly approached, smiling silently as she took out her phone from her pocket.
She crouched down, propping her chin with one hand while smiling at Yun Xialan: "Want to post a video? Sure. Help me film one first."
Yun Xialan froze. "A video?"
Yun Xialan stared blankly at the camera, about to ask what they were filming when she heard the woman's lazy voice.
"Next, you'll confess—as a victim—that Yu Wenlin killed Bo Jingmo."
Her body instantly stiffened as she stared at the woman in disbelief.
This woman actually wanted to pin the murder on Yu Wenlin.
Yu Li tilted her head. "Not filming?"
"No no no! I'll film!" Yun Xialan hurriedly replied. "It's just... how should I... say it?"
Hearing this, the woman smiled brightly.
A few minutes later, a video quietly began spreading across the internet.
Its title was especially eye-catching:
[Exposing These Evil Paranormal Bloggers! Cold-Blooded Murderers! Trading Lives for Clout!!]
Opening the video revealed slightly blurry footage, as if secretly recorded.
It showed three men and two women inside an ancient house. One of the men held a camera, seemingly filming something.
In front of him, a man and woman were arguing. The man had fierce scars on his face, making him look intimidating as he growled something at the girl.
Though there was no audio, the girl's tearful eyes full of fear and the man's twisted expression made it clear nothing kind was being said.
The girl glanced tearfully at the man, seemingly thinking before reluctantly nodding after a few seconds.
Then she slowly walked toward a chair. The scene shifted to show a Taoist priest with a blurred face.
He first took a lock of the girl's hair, wrapped it in a talisman, and placed it in a pouch before wordlessly slicing her wrist to collect half a bowl of blood.
Holding a talisman before his chest like in movies, he slowly pressed it against the girl's forehead.
Within seconds, the woman on the chair rolled her eyes back and fainted completely as fog began filling the room.
After the girl's death, a red ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind Yu Wenlin.
Yu Wenlin seemed to be warned by someone beside him, but when he turned, the ghost vanished. His expression darkened as he said something toward the priest.
Then chaos erupted—a wooden stool flew through the air and smashed into the cameraman.
At that moment, Yu Wenlin suddenly glared toward where the footage was being secretly recorded, mouthing something before something invisible kicked him. A rope from the ceiling instantly wrapped around his neck.
As Yu Wenlin was hoisted up, a red-clothed female ghost whose face couldn't be seen peeked out from a side door.
When this scene appeared, netizens exploded.
[Holy shit, is that a real ghost?]
[Definitely!! Can science explain this?]
[That ghost must be the dead girl. Damn, they literally created a ghost.]
[What kind of monsters would do this? Sacrificing lives for clout is disgusting.]
[Where's the law? Someone find their address and report them!]
But some expressed doubts.
[Wait... who filmed this? This account looks fake.]
[Not just looks—it IS fake. Random number username, brand new account.]
[This is shocking. Was that earlier video... also their doing?]
[No way. Then was Bo Jingmo also murdered? First Bo Jingmo, then Quan Ran—who's next?]
Others questioned its authenticity.
[Don't take it so seriously. Might just be marketing. Maybe Quan Ran isn't really dead, just unconscious.]
[Remaining skeptical. Would Yu Wenlin really do this? Wouldn't he fear karma? Or his teammates exposing him?]
[Expose him? Guess who leaked this video? Probably a teammate who couldn't take it anymore.]
Instantly, this new account went viral.
Soon after, netizens noticed the account had uploaded two more videos.
One showed Yu Wenlin forcing another teammate—the cameraman Wei Yangbing—to be sacrificed.
Even the cameraman became a sacrifice, leaving netizens speechless.
Not only that, Quan Ran's corpse in the footage moved unnaturally—completely inhuman.
Before recovering from shock, netizens hurried to watch the next video.
It showed an unexpected person—Yun Xialan.
The girl stood under a tree, flashlight in hand, its harsh light revealing her pale face and terrified eyes.
She nervously glanced behind the camera, gulped, then spoke shakily:
"I'm exposing Yu Wenlin... he killed Bo Jingmo. I swear on my life—everything you just saw is real."
[Talk about timing. She's confessing now?]
[She has to! If she doesn't, Yu Wenlin will kill her next after everyone else dies.]
[One question: who recorded this?]
[Yun Xialan kept looking behind the camera—someone's there.]
Then one sharp-eyed netizen noticed something and urgently commented:
[Everyone exit and refresh! The account changed its name!]
Others immediately followed the instruction.
The username had changed to: Yu Li.
With that, the account truly exploded.
Before the live audience could process this twist, they suddenly heard a very familiar announcement.
[Congratulations to NPC Yu Li for completing the mission—Reaching 200,000 followers.]
