[Cthulhu + livestreaming + little sister exposes the truth + urban]
Lu Chi’s System gives him one Cthulhu item every day through sign-ins. Over the past year, he has collected more than four hundred of them.
His daily routine is to lock them away, register each one by its threat level, and write warning labels. He must never let a single item get out and plunge society into chaos.
Then one day, his own little sister exposed the Cthulhu items on her livestream, sending the room at the top of his house, locked for a year, straight to the top of the global trending charts.
“Guys, look! There’s a second version of my brother in his room!”
“Brother, this cigarette won’t light or go out. Is it some new kind of e-cigarette?”
“Brother, how is this abacus so clever? It calculated tomorrow’s lottery numbers!”
“Brother, I think there’s a child crying inside this clay jar.”
Online viewers: What the heck, is this a livestream of a paranormal incident?
Zhou Yan, researcher at the National Natural History Museum: This artifact defies everything I know about the world.
Gu Changchuan, Blue Star Academy of Sciences: If this thing is real, please allow us to rewrite a textbook.
Wen Yi’an, a leading authority on folklore: Young man, you know perfectly well that what you’re hiding isn’t an antique. It’s something else.
Lu Chi: I’m just a young man who likes fishing.
[A peacock feather weighing a staggering eighty jin!]
[A stack of old newspapers that puts itself back together every night at midnight!]
[A glass bottle full of dense fog, whose stopper can’t be pulled out!]
[An ancient sword whose inscription changes one character every day!]
[A treasured sword that can boil a kilometer of water the moment it leaves its scabbard!]
A total of 427 items, all numbered and registered.
Viewers around the world: Lu, please stop streaming! Physics has already cried itself to sleep in the bathroom!
Lu Chi (sighing): I told you, don’t go into that room.
