The Ultimate Horror Live Stream - Chapter 20 - I Disagree!

For the entire wedding, our table was just a minor interlude. Everything proceeded according to the meticulously planned schedule, showing how much Jiang Chen valued this event. Everything was top-notch, and he wouldn’t allow even the slightest mishap.

After the guests were introduced, the president of Jiangjin Group personally gave a congratulatory speech. Then the host stirred up the atmosphere with the opening remarks, finally moving on to the next segment.

“Alright, dear friends, let’s count down from five to welcome the groom and bride.”

“Amidst the lively spring, the beauty arrives at the Jade Bridge, draped in a white wedding gown, adorned with beautiful flowers. The two lovers, heart to heart, hand in hand, walk towards us with smiles under the solemn wedding march. Friends, let’s sincerely bless them, pray for them, cheer for them, and applaud for their perfect union. Let’s once again give them a warm round of applause, wishing them a wonderful future!”

The hall erupted in applause, a hundred-meter red carpet stretched across the venue. Ye Bing, in her wedding dress, nestled against Jiang Chen’s arm, while he, with a beauty by his side, basked in his triumph.

He wore a pure white suit, head held high, eyes full of pride, occasionally waving to those around him.

As they reached halfway, he deliberately glanced towards our table, likely searching for a forlorn, heartbroken man, but he was bound to be disappointed.

Noticing Jiang Chen’s gaze, all the classmates at the table clapped vigorously, feigning a moved expression of wishing him happiness.

But there were two exceptions. They paid no heed to Jiang Chen, leaning close and whispering to each other.

“Is that…” The smugness on Jiang Chen’s face diminished by eighty percent as his gaze lingered on me for a fraction of a second before fixing entirely on Tie Ningxiang.

Compared to the elegantly dressed Tie Ningxiang today, Ye Bing paled in comparison, not just in looks but in an alluring aura.

It’s worth noting that Tie Ningxiang is now the captain of the Criminal Investigation Department at the district station. Her rise to this position was ninety percent due to her own efforts, irrespective of family ties.

Such a strong, independent, and beautiful woman most certainly stirs a man’s desire for conquest.

After discussing with Tie Ningxiang, I noticed Jiang Chen’s fiery gaze, but I wasn’t interested in him. I leisurely lit a cigarette and puffed away.

“Gao Jian, why does the groom keep staring at you?” Tie Ningxiang nudged me with her elbow.

“His mindset now is like a child who just got a new toy, showing it off everywhere, only to suddenly realize others have long grown tired of that toy and have moved on to better ones.”

“Why does that sound strange to me?”

“Does it? Here, Senior, don’t move, there’s a bug on your shoulder.” My hand naturally rested on Tie Ningxiang’s shoulder. “Sorry, I think I might have been mistaken.”

The wedding continued, an important day for the couple. The entire process seemed rehearsed as they calmly walked to the host.

Anticipating a long stretch of speeches, I simply took out my phone, uninterested in watching.

The large-screen smartphone in my hand came from the Underworld Showroom, and ever since the interview day, I’ve been carrying it with me.

As I flipped through the mailbox, all messages and call records would automatically delete at midnight every night. Sometimes, I wondered if there was a ghost living inside this phone.

Of the three apps, two were just for show. Out of boredom, I tapped on the Underworld Showroom icon.

“Congratulations, Streamer, on completing your first live stream. You’ve now unlocked a new feature: camera. Feel free to use your phone for live streaming.”

“Unlocked a new feature?” I hadn’t expected the Underworld Showroom to keep up with the times. During the last live stream when I entered the cave, the camera was so cumbersome that I disappeared from the Live Room for a while. I thought I’d face some sort of punishment, but instead, I accidentally unlocked a new feature.

Exiting the Underworld Showroom, there was indeed a new app on the desktop: camera.

The usual selling points for ordinary smartphones are clear images and good stereo effects, but the Underworld Showroom phone has one unique feature-it can see things invisible to the average person.

Curious, I opened the camera and filmed my classmates at the table, recording for about ten seconds, but nothing frightening appeared.

“Tch, I thought maybe I’d suddenly capture an extra person in the shot.” Scanning the crowd yielded no discoveries, which made sense. After all, it was broad daylight, the time when yang energy is at its peak, and with so many people gathered for a joyous wedding, ordinary ghosts wouldn’t dare show up.

“Looks like this feature is best tested when it’s late and quiet.” A scene flashed in my mind of myself lying in bed recording, only to suddenly find a female ghost lying next to me: “Forget it, better not use this feature too much. What the eyes don’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve…”

As I swung the phone around, ready to put it away, “Huh?”

When the screen turned towards the couple on stage, I noticed something seemed to be clinging to the groom, Jiang Chen’s back?!

Considering he was wearing a pure white suit, if there was anything unusual, people at the wedding should have noticed.

“What is that?” I pointed the screen at Jiang Chen, zoomed in, and my eyes widened in shock!

“Friends, at this grand wedding ceremony, the groom and bride will face all the guests present and make a vow to their beloved partner, a promise that lasts a lifetime! Groom and bride, please stand facing each other.”

As Jiang Chen turned, I saw clearly that there was a full-term, emaciated infant clinging to his back!

“How is that possible?” I thought I was seeing things, so I put the phone down and looked at Jiang Chen on the stage with my naked eyes. He was as spirited as a fairytale prince, standing tall with no sign of an infant.

“No way!” I pointed the phone at him again, and on the Underworld Showroom phone screen, the emaciated infant was undeniably there!

It was even moving!

One hand was tightly gripping Jiang Chen’s neck, while the other shriveled arm slowly reached towards Ye Bing.

“Friends, let’s quiet our hearts and sincerely feel the heartfelt confessions of the groom and bride.”

“Groom, please place your right hand on your chest, gaze into the bride’s eyes, and answer: Do you take the lady beside you as your lawful wife?”

“I do.”

In the grand hall, hundreds of people held their breath, witnessing this solemn moment. Only I was wide-eyed, staring intently at the smartphone screen.

The infant on Jiang Chen’s back had crawled up to his shoulder, its misshapen little hand inching closer to Ye Bing. Its pinky dug into its own flesh, while the remaining fingers brushed against Ye Bing’s hair.

“No matter what the future holds-whether your life is smooth or rocky, rich or poor, healthy or sick-can you promise to love each other forever?”

“I can.”

As the ceremony continued, the infant on Jiang Chen’s back had already reached into Ye Bing’s long hair.

The image on the screen was bizarre; the bond between the two seemed not to be the vows they were exchanging, but rather this twisted, grotesque infant.

“I remember now, this thing is called… Kuman Thong!” I had seen something similar on the points redemption table in the Underworld Showroom. A Thai little ghost required five points, and one that could appear in broad daylight must be even more rare and expensive.

Typically, a little ghost is created by a black-robed Kazan using the corpse of an abandoned infant, a process that is terrifying. However, if successful, it can bring wealth, luck in gambling, and career advancement, proving quite effective.

But it’s not guaranteed that worshiping it will yield rewards. Raising a little ghost can shorten one’s lifespan, and sometimes it might even backfire, leading to ruin.

At this moment, I saw the little ghost moving closer to Ye Bing, seemingly preparing to attach itself to her. This way, when Ye Bing becomes pregnant, the ghost could take over the unborn child’s body.

“Alright, groom, please lower your right hand.” The officiant turned to Ye Bing, who was draped in her wedding gown and immersed in happiness: “Bride, please place your right hand on your chest and look into the groom’s eyes.”

On the screen, the little ghost had grabbed Ye Bing’s hair, most of its body already detached from Jiang Chen.

“Do you agree to marry this gentleman beside you as your lawful husband?”

“I…”

“I disagree!” A chair toppled over, crashing to the ground, and the entire venue fell silent. Hundreds of eyes focused on the lone yet defiant figure.

After taking one last drag from my cigarette, I put away the Large-Screen Smartphone and quietly extinguished the cigarette butt: “Sorry, I disagree.”
