I am a somewhat well-known food anchor, and I like to connect with other food anchors for PK during live broadcasts.

On this day, I had just broken up with my long-time boyfriend whom I deeply loved. Without time to pick up the pieces of my wounded heart, I quickly prepared for the live broadcast and went live.

As soon as I went live, I saw loyal fans in the barrage screen scrolling rapidly.

【Beibei, you're finally here, we've been waiting for so long.】

【Beibei, what are you making today? Is it pig's heart? I see pig's heart.】

The pig's heart on the chopping board was the largest piece I bought at the market in the early morning. The red and white veins on it were clearly visible, and the smell of blood was exceptionally unpleasant.

After securing my phone and live streaming equipment, I put on kitchen gloves and gently began:

“Hello everyone, sorry to keep you waiting, I am Beibei. Without further ado, today I am going to make pig's heart soup. I have prepared a fresh piece of pork, and now I'll cut it in half.”

As I operated the chef's knife, I continued with the live stream as usual.

But for some reason, my screen remained black during today's live connection. Just when I thought it might be frozen, the screen flashed, and a man in a Taoist robe appeared on the screen.

I breathed a sigh of relief after the connection was established. I was already late, and if I couldn't connect, the fans would be anxious.

As I was trying to figure out what kind of anchor that was.

Originally, with squinted eyes half-closed due to sleepiness, the man who shook his folding fan lazily opened his eyes after looking at me, his whole demeanor changed, becoming serious.

He shook his head and jiggled his head, pinched three fingers together, and said in a manner resembling a trickster:

“This wayfarer has a connection with you. You may encounter a disaster today. If you capture my first link, perhaps this wayfarer can help you avert the danger.”

Upon hearing this fraudulent speech, I decisively hung up the connection.

And the barrage kept scrolling:

【Clearly a scam, Beibei, don't easily trust scammers.】

【Such a staged outfit, such low-level tricks.】

I chuckled inwardly because even children know that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and if someone asks for money right away, they must be a scammer.

As I was about to scroll with my phone to find the reporting page to report the scammer, I couldn't find it no matter what.

So I had to give up and click to connect with the next person waiting.

With a "ding," the sound of a message notification rang on my phone.

It was a video from my boyfriend Sun Jianing. I thought it was a message for reconciliation from him.

It was a video.

In the dark room, as if there was no light at all. Suddenly, a huge incandescent light bulb lit up, and a man appeared in the center, my boyfriend - Sun Jianing.

His eyes were peculiarly sticky and greasy, like a water snake crawling in the abyss, making me feel like I was tightly attached to a giant serpentine creature with just one glance.

In the video, there was a large hole in my boyfriend's chest, empty and hollow.

As he said, “You've been wanting to see my heart, so I'll take out my heart to show you,” he fed the bloody red heart to himself.

I was shocked.

My phone also slipped from my hand to the ground.

Looking at the mess on the kitchen countertop.

Especially the bright red heart that seemed to be beating.

As if telling me: Come and see my heart.

Just like in the video earlier.

A surge of nausea rose in my stomach, and I couldn't help but bend down and vomit.

I remembered what the Taoist said, so I quickly picked up my phone from the ground.

But I noticed that the barrage area, which was usually busy, was now quiet.

It dawned on me that I had been sharing my screen all this time.

After a while, it seemed like the barrage had snapped out of the shock, and the barrage was overflowing:

【Oh my god, that scammer must be telling the truth. Is something really going to happen to Beibei today?】

【Is it a prank? Just a coincidence, or is the anchor acting?】

【It's better to believe in things like this. The anchor doesn't seem like they're acting.】

I quickly found the connection record, but I couldn't connect to that live room no matter what.

Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly connected to the Taoist's live room. I saw his live room slogan above - 【Nine hundred and ninety-nine one divination, divination is accurate, no deception.】

I smirked, feeling a taste of a charlatan in the air.

There were many people in his chat room, but strangely, his fans hardly sent him any gifts.

After I sent a cloud-piercing arrow, the man sat up straight, folded his hands towards me, and said:

“Thank you to the lady who sent the cloud-piercing arrow. I wish you good karma. Please pay attention to the new entrants in the live room.”

There was no trace of the Taoist demeanor; it was all a bit pretentious.

I recounted the incident and sent him the video.

Originally indifferent, his expression turned serious after seeing the video.

I couldn't help but feel scared, and I asked:

“Taoist, what happened to my boyfriend? Can you save him?”

He straightened out his non-existent beard and then said:

“Your boyfriend is dead already, what remains is just a blood corpse.”

“The blood corpse feeds on human blood, and it especially loves eating the hearts of people, especially those of children and women.”

“What's more, what he desires most is to find a deeply loving couple, with the woman being extremely yin, so he can eat the man's heart alive and then devour the woman's heart in her extreme fear, only then will he be satisfied.”

“This blood corpse has eaten your boyfriend's heart, and the next step is to come for yours.”

Upon hearing this, I was shocked because I was born in an yin year, month, and time, but there was still a hint of doubt in my mind.

Even the barrage didn't fully believe it.

【Who knows if this Taoist is real or fake. Anchors must not easily trust strangers.】

【I've never seen a blood corpse before. Let the anchor's boyfriend come over and open my eyes.】

【Where did this stinky worm come from, go crawl to the side.】

The Taoist across from me must have seen the barrage, so he shook his folding fan calmly:

“Dare to ask the lady, has your boyfriend shown any abnormalities compared to before? For example, does he frequently drink or eat a specific food?”

When he said that, I remembered that my boyfriend had been acting strangely recently.

From some point on, he started drinking a glass of wine with his meals.

That wine was peculiar, with a fragrance that traveled for miles, almost like an aged wine kept for many years. The color was vibrant and rich, thick and heavy.

Everyone who smelled it was attracted by this fragrance. I had tried to ask him to taste it several times, but he repeatedly refused and drank himself into a stupor.

I had tried to find a similar one multiple times but never found a taste close to that wine.

I licked my dry lips and reluctantly said:

“My boyfriend, recently he has been drinking a glass of wine with his meals. But when I asked for some, he never agreed to let me taste it.”

Listening to this, the Taoist stopped shaking his folding fan:

“I see. That is not wine at all, it doesn't even belong to any category of wine. It's clearly made from human blood. To normal people, there is no hint of bloodiness; instead, it tastes extremely sweet. But tasting it is like drinking fresh blood; it's a perfect supplement for the blood corpse.”

As soon as the Taoist said this, the barrage exploded:

【Maybe he just suddenly developed this taste? Drinking wine with meals isn't a big deal. My grandpa is old but still pairs peanuts with a little liquor.】

【I haven't even seen the wine, and this old Taoist is talking in such a spooky way. Maybe it’s just an act between the anchor and them.】

【I think what the Taoist said is true. Look at how pale the anchor's face is!】

【If the anchor's boyfriend really is a blood corpse, would the anchor still be alive now?】

Shivers ran down my spine, but I still couldn't believe that my boyfriend of many years had turned into a blood corpse.

“If my boyfriend is a blood corpse, why does he still spare my life?”

The Taoist, being questioned, looked somewhat annoyed:

“He doesn't eat your heart because it's not time yet.”

“The blood corpse has no resistance to fresh blood, so if you don't believe me, just test him with some fresh blood.”

Just as I was about to ask more questions, there was a banging sound mixed with a doorbell.

“Beibei! Beibei! Are you there? Yang Beibei?” A man's urgent voice sounded.

Looking through the peephole, all I saw was a hazy white, as if someone had pasted an eyeball to it, which startled me.

As soon as he realized I was looking, the man stepped back a few steps, still holding a bouquet of roses.

It was my boyfriend - Sun Jianing.

The man outside the door called out again, “Beibei, I'm sorry, it was my fault for fighting. Can you open the door so we can talk things through?”

The man outside, who had been deeply in love for years, softly asked to reconcile. I thought of our warmth of love, perhaps the horrifying video was just part of a prank by someone?

I placed my hand on the doorknob but hadn’t twisted it yet, and a message on my phone vibrated: 【Don't open it! Your boyfriend is already dead!】

Trembling with fear, I sat down on the ground, feeling my scalp numb, covered in cold sweat.

If the person in the video was indeed my boyfriend, then who was standing outside the door?
