Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 438

SuaDoLord TV had 1,388 viewers for their live broadcast.

Captain Exorcism had 5,821 viewers for their live broadcast.

Obviously, Hyunsoo’s channel did much better. Moreover, after SuaDoLord went half-crazy and entered the building filled with evil spirits, even SuaDoLord TV’s cameraman and manager seemed to have given up filming. They didn’t seem to care about angles and framing.

In the end, the viewers of SuaDoLord TV were forced to switch to Hyunsoo’s channel.

“Taehwan, put this equipment on,” Hyunsoo handed Taehwan the body cam and the spirit camera attached to his body.

“I can see ghosts, so I’m fine, but you can’t. Use the ghost camera to film the ghosts around us. Do it next to the live broadcast camera.”

“Oh, okay, I got it!”

“If you set the ghost camera app to show the camera angle, it’ll be more convenient,” Hyunsoo advised.

“Sure,” Taehwan replied urgently as he quickly attached the rig to his body.

“Make sure the lighting is good, and you should focus on filming only me, got it?” Hyunsoo instructed.

“Got it,” they both nodded in agreement.

“Um, what about us?” SuaDoLord TV’s cameraman and manager approached.

“Whether it’s dealing with ghosts or exorcism, the priority is to save SuaDoLord, right?” Hyunsoo said with a determined look on his face.

The cameraman and the manager exchanged uncomfortable glances.

“Well, this is the first time we’ve dealt with ghosts or exorcisms,” the manager admitted when Hyunsoo asked.

“Usually, we would film when he said, ‘I see a ghost. This situation is…”

“That’s right. We just follow what you do,” the manager added.

The cameraman also chimed in, “We usually shoot whatever he says, like ‘I see a ghost,’ and that’s it.”

Taehwan, who had been listening silently, couldn’t hide his frustration as he asked, “So, SuaDoLord is a shaman, right? He seems to handle rituals well, and he does hard work.”

“He does handle rituals, but usually the rituals we broadcast involve guests who are properly invited. There’s personal information and such to consider,” the manager explained.

“Really?” Taehwan sighed in disbelief.

“Wait, everything on SuaDoLord TV is staged?”

“Come to think of it, the ritual videos seemed kind of strange.”

“They only uploaded edited videos.”

“I suspected that.”

Frustrated by their answers, viewers expressed their disappointment in the chat. Meanwhile, the viewership of SuaDoLord TV continued to decline, and the viewership of Captain Exorcist continued to grow.

“Should we report this to the police?” the cameraman asked while holding his phone.

Hyunsoo stood in front of the wide open entrance. In the dark corridor, the eerie sound of bells continued.

“What are you going to do?” the cameraman asked.

“We have to fight,” Hyunsoo replied with a tense expression on his face.

The manager joined the conversation and said, “The police would not believe this situation and would not help us. Let’s try to handle this ourselves first, and if necessary, we can report it later.

The cameraman and the manager exchanged nervous glances.

“Should we run to the car or follow them,” Hyunsoo added before heading inside. Taehwan followed, shining his flashlight and camera in front of him.

Realizing that leaving the other parties in such a situation was too frightening, the cameraman and the manager reluctantly followed Hyunsoo and Taehwan into the building.

* * *

The relentless ringing of the bells continued.

Hyunsoo slowly moved forward along the corridor, following the sound of the bells.

“That stench, it’s the same stench I smelled in the showers last week,” Hyunsoo commented as he took careful steps.

As he walked across the cluttered floor, the sound of his footsteps created an even more terrifying atmosphere.

“There are protective charms on every room and window,” Taehwan said as he shined his flashlight on the doors of the guest rooms.

The cameraman and manager, both terrified, used their cell phone flashlights to inspect various areas.

The increased light, with more people present, improved the broadcast quality.

– Wow, that place is crazy.

– All those protective charms give me the creeps, seriously.

– Be careful.

– It’s so creepy.

– What the hell is that place?

– Places with charms like that must have had exorcisms in the past, right?

Hyunsoo continued to read the chat messages while walking forward.

Then he noticed an open door.

“The door to room 103 is open. The sound of the bells doesn’t seem to be coming from there, but I’ll check it out,” Hyunsoo said in a quiet tone and signaled Taehwan to follow.

Taehwan shone his flashlight forward and stood behind Hyunsoo.

Shriek!

When Hyunsoo opened the door, he found a room covered with protective charms. The room was messy, with blankets and communal slippers scattered everywhere. On the desk was a doll that looked like something a child would play with.

“I feel something strange coming from that doll,” Hyunsoo said, prompting Taehwan to zoom in with the ghost camera.

The doll was emitting a faint gray smoke, indicating the presence of a lingering spirit or traces of an evil spirit.

Hyunsoo took a step towards the desk, but that’s when it happened.

Eeehhh- Eeehhh-

The doll’s speaker suddenly played the sound of a crying baby, startling everyone in the room. It appeared to be a mechanism designed to make the doll cry by inserting batteries and pressing a button.

However, the fact that an abandoned, dust-covered doll was producing the sound of a crying baby was a clear sign of a paranormal activity.

“Eeeeek!”

The camera crew and the manager clung to each other, trembling with fear.

Jal-ga-dak-

At the same time, a sound came from the door they had just entered.

When Hyunsoo and Taehwan turned around, they saw the same evil spirit they had encountered in the bathroom standing in front of the door.

“Hy, Hyung-nim?” Taehwan shouted while checking the ghost camera.

At that moment, the evil spirit rushed into the room.

Surprised, Hyunsoo stepped back and fired a salt shotgun.

Bang!

He had successfully fired the shotgun and the room filled with salt, making it visible to the naked eye.

Screams filled the air as the salt scattered forward, throwing the approaching evil spirit backward. In the footage captured by the ghost camera, the gray figure turned to smoke and disappeared.

– Oh my God!!!!!!!

– I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it! Does it really work? ??????

– Well, if salt repels ghosts, I guess it will work in this case too?

– This is amazing LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

The salt gun proved to be effective in driving away the evil spirit.

Hyunsoo, after looking around for the disappearing ghost, turned his head back to the room.

Ddallang ddallang-

The sound of the bells continued to ring somewhere.

“I’ll check this doll,” Hyunsoo approached the doll and picked it up.

As expected, all the batteries were removed.

– How did it make sound without batteries?????????

– Is it a demonic doll?????

– How is this possible?

– Are there really people who claim this is staged?

– Came from SuaDoLord TV. This stream is much more exciting.

– SuaDoLord TV’s live stream is about to explode. HAHAHA

The cameraman of SuaDoLord TV was still holding the camera, but he had no idea what to film or where to shoot.

Ding-ding, ding-ding, ding-ding…

As the sound of the bells grew louder, Hyunsoo motioned for them to leave.

“That doll… What the hell is it?”

The manager scowled at the doll on the desk.

“Let’s go,” he said.

The cameraman pushed the manager away and followed Hyunsoo.

Meanwhile, the doll’s eyes slowly turned to watch the group’s retreating figures.

Each room had its own bathroom, and the hallway contained a small auditorium for recreation and the manager’s office sign.

“I’m not sure how SuaDoLord and the others are interpreting the situation right now. But there are some strange things to note. Even though the ghost camera can’t clearly capture the appearance of the evil spirits, you probably noticed that the evil spirit you saw in the bathroom last week and the ones we’re seeing here all look exactly the same.

Hyunsoo continued to comment while watching the chat.

– What do they look like?

– Please describe them.

– 5000 won power chat.

– What do they look like?

– I saw the ghost at the elementary school from the photo.

“Her hair isn’t very long. It’s straight, with bangs. They have completely white skin and square eyes. Sometimes their eyes seem to be filled with blood, causing them to shed tears of blood,” Hyunsoo explained.

– Wow, I imagined it.

– Searched for ‘square eyes’. It’s terrifying.

– I heard that square eyes are a characteristic of serial killers.

– Hyunsoo, try searching for ‘square eyes’ on Google. The picture search results are scary.

“Why would these evil spirits all have the same appearance?” Hyunsoo asked, and Taehwan replied, “It could be one of three simple explanations. Either they are all different spirits that just look the same to us, or each of them, being different spirits, decided to look the same. Or maybe one spirit is using a transformation technique.

“Whatever it is, they’re all pretty annoying to deal with,” Hyunsoo admitted.

As they talked, they reached the entrance of the auditorium.

Ddalang ddalang ddalang ddalang ddalang.

Behind the closed doors of the auditorium, the sound of the bells grew louder.

“I think SuaDoLord is inside,” Hyunsoo said and the manager nodded, “but the door is still sealed with amulets…”

The doors of the large auditorium should have been torn apart if they had been opened.

Ddalang ddalang ddalang.

Meanwhile, the ringing sound was accelerating.

“I’m sure the sound is coming from inside,” Taehwan said, pressing his ear to the auditorium doors.

Everyone looked at each other with fearful expressions as they stood in front of the massive doors.

“Even if we want to rescue SuaDoLord and escape, how can we take him with us if he’s possessed by the evil spirit?” The cameraman picked up a wooden stick from the ground and asked.

“Back when Taehwan was possessed, red beans worked. We’ll find a way to drive it away,” Hyunsoo assured him. After a firm nod, he pushed open the heavy doors of the auditorium.

Kwaah-

As the massive doors swung open on both sides, a booming sound echoed through the auditorium.

Thud-

At the same time, the bells stopped ringing.

Hyunsoo and Taehwan took the lead and walked into the middle of the auditorium.

– It’s really scary in the dark auditorium.

– Come to think of it, this kind of facility is really scary.

– It feels like being in the training hall of a military camp.

There was a small stage at the front and an open space with a wooden floor in front of it.

Dust had accumulated, and tables and folding chairs were scattered haphazardly in the corners of the auditorium.

There seemed to be no separate entrance for people.

“Hey! Over there!” Taehwan shouted, startling the cameraman and the manager.
