Haunted House Livestream: I Become the World's Richest by Scaring Ghosts

The day I was laid off in the name of "optimization," rent demands and a breakup text hit me at the same time.

On a rainy night, with nowhere else to turn, I accepted a job spending the night in a haunted house: Villa Qin Yun, 77 Linjiang West Road.

They say that of the three previous overnight guests, one went insane and the other two are still on medication.

Even more bizarrely, a dark red app I'd never installed suddenly appeared on my phone:

Horror Exchange System: Start a livestream. Every point of "Fear" generated by viewers earns 1 yuan. Leave early or let the stream cut out, and you die of sudden cardiac arrest.?

Other people enter a haunted house with peachwood swords for protection, talismans flying everywhere, then scream and run.

I turn paranormal incidents into livestream content, take cases involving lingering obsessions, and settle the supernatural world's shady, rotten accounts one by one.

When Forbes calls to ask where my assets came from, I glance at the list of IDs in my livestream's gift history:

Sadako: Gift x1 | Chu Renmei: Sign-in | Tomie: Subscription renewed...

I smile at the camera and say just one thing:

"I told you they gave me those gifts. Do you believe me?"
