Chapter 14: Spirit Singer Brian

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just like that, it was a long night.

Time passed amidst the water ghosts’ wails and angry cries.

After about ten minutes, the water ghost’s voice became softer and softer.

In the end, all that was left was a soft hum!

On the other side, after Brian left, everyone on the riverbank fell silent.

Celia was surrounded by a dozen armed guards, their black muzzles aimed at the river.

It was as though he would shoot without hesitation if there were any abnormal movements on the river.

After what had happened earlier, everyone’s sense of danger had risen. A group of guards had set up a cordon on the riverbank.

It had been half an hour since Brian left. Although no one spoke, they could hear each other’s anxious heartbeats.

“What time is it now?” Celia asked absentmindedly.

“Exactly 1 AM, Miss Celia!”

Had it been so long?

How long had it been? Why hadn’t she seen that person yet?

‘Was I wrong? Was he just a liar?’

More than ten people had been dragged away by the water ghost. Could Brian have been captured by the water ghost?

Thinking of this, Celia, who had been confident in Brian, suddenly became worried.

If not for the guards stopping her, Celia would have taken her men into the water to search.

“Big liar. Brian, you’re a big liar. Then you’re not only a big liar, you’re also a complete jerk!”

“Brian, you bastard!”

Just as Celia was roaring at the river, something strange suddenly happened in the turbulent river.

“Miss! Look!”

The member of the paranormal club, Nick, who was holding a camera, was the first to notice something unusual. He could not help but exclaim!

Although it was not obvious, there was something strange about the river.

A white vortex suddenly appeared in the middle of the river.

The vortex was growing larger and larger at a visible rate.

Before long, a huge vortex gradually formed in the river, about ten meters in length.

It gave everyone the feeling that there was a huge monster swimming at the bottom of the water. Waves of white waves rose with every move and water splashed everywhere.

When the people in the broadcast room saw this scene, they were also shocked. They could feel the weirdness even through the screen.

This was not something science could explain.

The hundreds of thousands of viewers watching the live broadcast began to speculate one after another as to what had caused the white waves and the huge vortex.

Most of the people in the live-stream believed that it was the water ghost—the water ghost had appeared again. There were even some people who publicly lied in the live-stream, saying that this was the illusion created by the host to deliberately mystify things.

The live-stream was divided into two sides.

But no matter which side it was, they were all shocked.

At this moment, the timid audience had already silently closed their eyes. It was as if an earth-shattering beast was about to come out and hurt them.

The people on the riverbank who had personally experienced the atmosphere of the scene saw this strange spectacle more vividly than the audience in the live-stream.

Of course, what was different from them was that Celia and the others started from being puzzled to gradually being stunned by the strange scene before them.

The shocked crowd did not even realize that their clothes were drenched by the splattering water. Their eyes were fixed on the changes in the river.

This was not a matter of courage. This was the first normal reaction of humans when they faced the unknown.

“Miss! It might be dangerous to stay here. Let’s go!”

The well-trained guards regained their senses immediately and covered Celia and the others as they retreated to the shore.

Just as everyone was gradually retreating from the riverbank, a familiar voice came from the center of the river.

“Lady in high heels, your people are all here. Aren’t you going to save them?”

This voice?

“Big liar… Mr. Brian, you’re still alive?”

Celia asked in a trembling voice, as if she was unsure.

“Hehe! It’s the real Brian!”

Whoosh—

The white waves in the water suddenly increased in intensity as they gradually covered the riverbank!

Everyone turned back to look. The dozen or so missing people who were hiding underwater had already been sent to the shore by the powerful waves.

“Save them, save them!’”

Under Celia’s command, the group began an orderly transfer of the wounded to the vehicle.

At this moment, the vortex in the center of the river had already begun to subside.

The gigantic vortex began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. The boundless waves also gradually stopped.

All the people who had been verified had been rescued. Other than a brief moment of unconsciousness, they were not in any danger.

Meanwhile, Celia’s heart, which was hanging in the air, did not relax like everyone else. Instead, she stared intently at the movement on the river as if she was searching for something.

Regretfully, when calmness returned and the water returned to its usual state, she did not see that figure.

‘Where’s that big liar Mr Brian?’

She could clearly hear Brian’s voice. Why hadn’t he appeared yet? Was there an accident?

Through the screen, the audience in the live-stream could feel the girl’s complicated feelings.

Perhaps after hearing Celia’s inner voice, a deep and pleasant song suddenly could be heard from afar.

“I strolled in the Grodos River, a beautiful night in the moonlight.

I accidentally met a young girl in high heels.

The breeze was not as cool as her eyebrows, and the bright moonlight also stopped for her.

I was singing for her. The moon brought a hint of sweetness.

Ah! Beautiful lady in high heels!

…

All I can say is, I’m sorry. Handsome Brian is a man you can’t have even if you try your best.”

Brian was riding in his little leather dinghy, unhurriedly rowing from a distance. His voice had no profound skill or innate quality, but it fascinated the viewers of the live stream.

“He’s indeed our hero. Even his singing is so good ~”

“The lyrics is very touching. I almost thought it was going to be a live-stream confession. What’s with this sudden twist?”

“Same here, but I like the last sentence the most. Handsome Brian, hahaha!”

…

The viewers in the live-stream were worried about Brian, but when they saw such a strange scene on camera, the comments exploded.

Celia, who had been immersed by the song, was feeling pleased with herself. When she heard the last classic line, she had a look of surprise on her face.

But Brian knew all this and he continued humming his own self-created tune, happily paddling along the river.

His mood was exceptionally good when he heard the notification.

“Ding! Congratulations on successfully subduing the water ghost. You have transferred it into the ghost realm. You have obtained the power of the water ghost and your abilities have increased by ten times!”

“Ding! Congratulations to host for completing the upgrade mission and successfully upgrading to a Grade D Ghost Warlock. Reward: 500 attribute points ,+10 spiritual power ,+10 physical strength…”

Ding! The host has been upgraded to a Grade D Ghost Warlock. You have received six months of lifespan. Please keep it up.

Brian opened the system panel and grinned from ear to ear.
