Ah!

I screamed in fright.

The barrage on the screen turned red.

My mom, holding a freshly bought rack of ribs, looked at me with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, Tongtong? Are all the doors and windows in the house broken? Why didn't you go fix them? It took me a while to open them!"

I instinctively glanced at my mom's legs and sure enough, she was wearing high heels.

Phew...

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

Dongge: [I told you so! It's just a coincidence. This is the UP host's hype. There are no ghosts or gods in this world.]

Ah Feng: [That's not right, is it? If the knocking and high heels are just coincidences, then what about the blood handprints on the wall and the crying just now?]

That's right!

I looked at Ah Feng's barrage, and the heart that had just relaxed tightened again.

"I told you not to buy paint from a classmate's house. Look! It gets damp as soon as it rains!"

My mom complained as she bent down and wiped the handprints on the wall over and over again.

The wall instantly turned red.

Dongge: [Now do you get it? It's rainy and gloomy outside, so the UP host must live in a high-rise building! If there's a strong wind, it will create the sound of ghostly crying inside the room!]

Dongge: [Juju! Do you have anything to say now?]

That's right, Dongge was right.

We do live in a high-rise building, and it's pouring rain outside right now.

My heart relaxed once again, and I complained to myself that I've become more and more timid lately. I stepped forward and helped my mom wipe the wall.

After all, she's my mom!

If my mom died, how could I not know?

Ruhua: [From the moment I started watching until now, have you guys noticed? The UP host's mom doesn't have a shadow!]

Unexpectedly, a red font appeared abruptly in the barrage.

Ruhua: [And another thing! It's pouring outside right now, but her mom just came back from outside! She's completely dry!]

I lowered my head and glanced at my mom.

Indeed, she was completely dry!

In such heavy rain outside, no matter what, there would be some wet spots on her body.

But my mom, she seemed as if she had been staying at home all along!

I remembered what Juju said and trembled as I shifted my body to the side.

The computer's light shone on my mom, and there was indeed no shadow beneath her!

"What's wrong? Tongtong, you seem nervous?"

My mom raised her head, her bright red lipstick contrasting with the bloodstained wall, and smiled.

Her face was pale.

How could a normal person not have a shadow?

Moreover, my mom rarely comes to my house, so why would she come at eleven o'clock at night carrying ribs?

Cold sweat streamed down my body, and I forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing, Mom, I'm just a bit scared!"

"That's good. I thought you had something to tell me!"

My mom smiled meaningfully, patted my shoulder, and walked out of the door.

Her hand was ice-cold!

Ah Feng: [Ah! So scary! At that moment, the UP host's mom really looked like a ghost!]

Dongge: [We can't determine just based on the shadow! We need convincing evidence!]

That's right!

I still held onto that last strand of hope in my heart.

What if all of this is just a coincidence?

Juju: [It's simple, ghosts have no blood or senses. Use a small knife to cut your mom and see her reaction, then you'll know!]
