Ning An's Wild Wish System

Even for seasoned actors, it doesn’t work!

Unless it’s right at the boundary between life and death, where the realism rushes in, no matter how good the acting is, a normal person watching an actor portray death is like watching a child’s juggling act.

This is also why Dragon Country’s horror and suspense films have always been criticized.

Just before eleven o’clock, Cheng Ziruo connected the last microphone.

"Come on, sweetheart, open the mic!"

As soon as the last person connected their mic, the live stream chatroom sighed collectively.

"Ah, I’m so envious, why can’t I get a mic connection, just because I’m sending little hearts?"

"Sending little hearts? The streamer probably won’t remember you then, but it’s okay, based on my observation over the past half year, the streamer isn’t someone who holds grudges, you still have hope."

"Can’t stop laughing, fans furiously sending little hearts, the streamer graciously not holding grudges, good, good, good!"

"..."

The chatroom was lively with comments, and over on Cheng Ziruo’s side, the mic connection was also secured.

Soon, the connection button lit up.

"I’m numb, wait for tomorrow, tomorrow I must connect to Chengzi’s mic!"

"Crying, such a cute loli, not to mention connecting mics, even being my girlfriend, I would be delighted!"

"Wow, you’re quite something! Taking everything and still thinking of taking the whole pot?"

"No, the mic is connected, but why is the other side’s screen black and not saying a word?"

"Didn’t that guy just get his account blacklisted? Could it be he switched to another account to connect again?"

The chatroom was abuzz with speculation.

Cheng Ziruo also felt nervous, a bit uneasy, saying: "Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

A silence.

Cheng Ziruo furrowed her brows as if they could touch the sky.

"This is hilarious, what’s wrong today, look at how worried the streamer is."

"Did we stumble upon a nest of truth or dare adventurers? So many strange people today."

"Don’t say it, the streamer is truly good-looking, ah ah ah! Even with a frown, it’s a lovely sight, woo woo woo, can’t help it."

"Wow, you, stay away from me, don’t pollute my eyes!"

Seeing the laughter and banter in the chatroom, Cheng Ziruo managed to regain some semblance of a smile.

Looking at the perpetually dark screen, she coughed lightly twice, saying: "Hello, can you hear it? Can you turn on the camera?"

"If the network is bad, why don’t we reschedule the connection for tomorrow, alright?"

Suddenly, there was a noise from the other side of the connection, a clattering sound, accompanied by frog croaks in the surrounding area, judging by the sound, it seemed to be in a river.

Are they swimming in the wild?

Cheng Ziruo thought so but decided not to continue the mic connection.

She’s already had enough scares tonight, as a beauty streamer, what right does she have to boldly venture into the suspense and paranormal zone? Better to end the stream quickly.

Just as she was about to disconnect the mic, a voice came from that end.

Bang!

It was the sound of a fist hitting the water surface.

It seemed to move steadily towards the middle of the river, the sound growing more muffled, the clattering fading gradually.

Meanwhile, from the person connected through the mic came a soul-wrenching cry, a shrill, haunting voice altered by extreme pain:

"My child, you’re lost, how will mom live, how will she live? Oh, heavens, why are you blind, my child is gone."

"They say a woman in a coat took my child away, I knelt to her, a thousand times, ten thousand times, for a lifetime, begging her to return my child."

"The wind is blowing today, it’s getting colder, my child left wearing just a short-sleeve, he’ll feel cold, he’ll feel cold."

"Beibei, the water is so cold, where are you, where are you, mom can hear your voice, you cry, you fuss, you call for mom, mom can hear it all, where have you been taken..."

"Be obedient, behave, don’t resist, otherwise they will hurt you, mom will feel your pain..."

Thud!

Like a boulder dropping into water, the sound was incredibly muffled.

Spitting in disgust, those monstrous human traffickers deserve a thousand deaths and a place in Hell.

"They deserve the cangue, those damned souls who steal children, I want you dead, I want you dead!"

"I’ll peel your skin, draw your sinews, drink your blood, eat your flesh, smash your bones into powder, and toss you into the abyss!"

"He is the flesh and blood I carried for ten months, only five years old, he’s still young, he’s only called me mom for a few years."

As if in a trance, the woman yelled:

"No, I was wrong, I was wrong, it wasn’t me who said those things, it wasn’t me..."

"You are the merciful Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, please return him to me, return him to me, okay?"

"I’m begging you, please, I’m begging!"

The other end of the mic seemed to be a pallid, vacant, eerie specter.

"Without him, life holds no meaning, you are a woman, you have children, how could you steal someone else’s child, are you even human?"

"I know why you’re doing this, isn’t it just for the money? Return my child to me, I’ll buy, I’ll buy... I’ll pay three times, no, five times! Ten times, a hundred times, just give me back my child, I’ll give you money..."

"I’ll sell the house, sell land, sell the cattle and sheep, sell blood, whatever you want, I am willing to give, just don’t harm my child, he’s still young, find him a good home, you are the merciful Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, please don’t let him become a two-legged sheep..."

"You deserve Hell, you deserve Hell! You should go to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, let King Yama judge you, damn..."

Her vicious curses, her voice hoarse.

No one could decipher her words, at this moment, she was thoroughly mad.

The person on the mic request went mad, the one doing the mic connection was nearly driven mad too.

Trembling, Cheng Ziruo cautiously said: "Ma’am, perhaps you should notify the police."

The chatroom viewers also wore heavy expressions.

"This noise would never be the result of a truth or dare stunt!"

"If the previous guy was deliberately fooling around, this woman’s situation is definitely concerning!"

"I’ve already called the police, something’s obviously wrong here!"

"What a scene, I just wanted to see a sweet girl before bed, now I’m getting more alert the longer I watch."

"..."

Doo doo doo...

The other side of the mic fell silent, leaving only the constant clattering of river water.

"Call the police!"

At this point, Cheng Ziruo couldn’t hold back anymore, grabbing her phone to relay everything to the police.

Once she hung up the call, she shrank into her chair, her heart still trembling.

Today’s events have been too bizarre, so strange she dared not imagine!

As for whether the police would believe her, that was beyond her control!

...

"We tracked it down! Both times, the IP address linked to the live connections were from Z City!"

"Z City, it’s Z City again! Quickly contact the Supernatural Bureau over there, deploy zombies if necessary, ensure this gets resolved before daybreak!"

"Yes!"

In a western air-raid shelter in Kyoto, countless screens glowed with a dim blue light.

Innumerable staff, like worker ants in a colony, diligently completing their tasks, ensuring nothing goes wrong.

Cheng Ziruo possibly couldn’t even imagine that her report was not only believed by the police but firmly trusted!

The reason the Dragon Country authorities chose to open the topic of Spiritual Qi Revival at this specific time was not only because they were confident in maintaining the overall situation but more importantly, because the Spiritual Qi Revival could no longer be concealed!

Rats growing fangs, ants expanding in size, various anomalies, countless.

Better to channel than to block!

Since the authorities had nearly completed their preparations, they decided to open the issue, maintaining overall stability.

...

Z City’s Supernatural Bureau.

"Hu Zi, what’s your status over there?"

Zhang Xingmin spat and stomped hard with his foot, suppressing his inner fear.

Behind him, several figures covered entirely in black clothes, their bodies hunched much more than ordinary people, formed a semicircle, protecting Zhang Xingmin at the center.

Over the phone, a mechanical voice came, clearly encrypted.

"Everything’s smooth here, how about over there?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingmin first looked at the location tracker in his hand, then slowly lifted his gaze, staring at the clay statue ahead, his voice bewildered:

"Things over here seem... not quite right."
