Free Web NovelChapter 314: Chapter 310: Gothic Mental Hospital 3
[What does Director Wen mean by that? Is Doctor Wen not safe? Is Doctor Wen in danger?]
[Isn’t Doctor Wen with the production crew?]
[Where on earth is Doctor Wen right now?]
The camera’s perspective suddenly shifted, the change in angle widening the view.
[Holy crap! Is she out of the country?]
[How is there an old castle? Where is this? But I get a creepy feeling from this place. Is there no one else there besides Doctor Wen?]
[Is Doctor Wen exploring a haunted house at night? Wait, no! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue—exploring an old castle! Is she doing this to stream for us? Is this a special treat from Doctor Wen for us Fireflies?]
[To be honest, I’ve never seen an old castle in person. This one is huge, but it looks like it’s been around for a long time!]
"Thank you for your concern, Director Wen. I’m very safe."
"This place is indeed an old castle, but it also seems like it isn’t. Before I came in, there were three large words written on the outer wall: Gothic Mental Hospital."
The moment Wen Ying finished speaking, the expressions of those watching her live stream from a certain courtyard-style building changed drastically.
In front of them was a rectangular table set with tea.
Two people were seated in chairs, while two others stood off to one side.
All of them were watching Wen Ying’s live stream together.
CRACK!
A teacup fell. The young man who had been pouring the tea immediately bent down to clean it up.
"Gothic Mental Hospital?" the old man with the white-streaked beard spoke up.
"Elder Wu, some foreign legends do seem to mention this Gothic Mental Hospital. We’ve looked for information on it but found nothing. Its classification has been upgraded. It must be a core secret."
"A core secret?" Elder Wu took a sip of tea, his brow furrowed. "Is this the Fog? Could this Gothic Mental Hospital be related to the Fog?"
"Now that you mention it, Elder Wu, I think I remember something. There was a kid in our organization who loved reading these kinds of stories, both domestic and foreign. I think he read the one about the Gothic... If you need him, Elder Wu, I can have someone bring him over immediately."
The white-bearded Elder Wu nodded.
"If it was known before, that means it wasn’t a secret. But now it’s been classified with urgency and had its security level raised. This suggests the legend has only recently been taken seriously. It could indeed be related to the Fog."
"You’re right, Elder Wu. The legend of the Gothic Mental Hospital originated in Wutong Country, and our latest intelligence shows that the Fog has already swallowed three of Wutong Country’s cities."
The white-bearded Elder Wu said nothing more, just sipped his tea in silence until the person who knew the legend of the Gothic Mental Hospital arrived.
The young man stood bolt upright to the side, awaiting orders.
"Xiao Gong, I recall you’re particularly fond of reading legends and old tales, correct?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then tell us the legend of the Gothic Mental Hospital."

[A mental hospital? Doctor Wen, how did you end up in a mental hospital? But it looks like an abandoned one, right?]
[Gothic Mental Hospital? I think I’ve seen that name before!]
[The commenter above is so knowledgeable, give us the rundown!]
[Honestly, I don’t remember it well, but I vaguely recall that the story of the Gothic Mental Hospital involves elements like horror, the supernatural, death, witchcraft, old castles, abysses, thorns, darkness, curses, and things like Vampires!]
[That sounds kind of scary. Has this episode turned into a horror stream? There isn’t actually something terrifying in that castle, is there?]
[You’re overthinking it, right? If there was something scary, would they be able to broadcast it live?]
[In Doctor Wen’s stream, anything goes. Didn’t you know that, commenter above?]
[Doctor Wen, are you taking callers today?]
"We’ll see how it goes today. I’m not sure if I’ll take callers or not. For now, let’s explore this old castle together."
Wen Ying was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a pair of overalls, and thick-soled canvas shoes.
Her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her face was strikingly beautiful. The whole look made her appear sharp and capable.
But just as Wen Ying finished speaking, the viewers heard a loud shout from within the stream:
Newcomer! Who allowed you to turn on the lights?! Breaking the rules on your first day! I’ll twist your head off and hang it in the hallway for a lantern!
Immediately after, a blurry figure appeared before Doctor Wen at an incredible speed.
[What’s going on? How did the style get so realistic all of a sudden?]
But before anyone could get a clear look at what kind of creature it was, they saw Doctor Wen raise her hand and flick a casual slap at it. "So noisy. How can you speak to the Fireflies like that?"
It was a soft voice and a seemingly light slap, but a few seconds later, a deafening "BANG!" erupted.
RUMBLE!
CRASH!
Before their very eyes, a wall collapsed!
