Even through the screen, the hand reflected in the glass still caught her attention.
Because it simply couldn’t be how water plants were supposed to look.
Though thin strands of waterweed were clearly wrapped around the vlogger’s hand, the reflection in the glass showed something else entirely—a pair of interlaced hands.
Liu Yu had already paused the video, focusing intently on the image of that hand.
The fingers were slender, the skin pale and bluish-white, unmistakably not like that of a living person.
Perhaps because Liu Yu was watching so carefully, she even noticed a faint watery hue on that hand.
As if it had just climbed out of the water and still hadn’t dried off.
At the moment the waterweed fell onto the vlogger’s hand, that pale hand was already present in the reflection.
The video resumed playing, and it seemed the vlogger hadn’t noticed anything unusual, only worrying about how to deal with the waterweed.
But Liu Yu clearly saw that the pale hand in the reflection was intertwining with the vlogger’s fingers.
Suddenly, the camera went out of focus, indicating some kind of interference in the surrounding magnetic field.
Liu Yu’s vision went black in an instant.
She was utterly confused.
What was the purpose of the person in red?
If it was just to harm someone, why perform such a strange act?
It was almost like taking advantage of someone.
Liu Yu couldn’t fathom a ghost’s thoughts.
The vlogger, unaware of anything strange, simply brought the waterweed inside…
The video kept playing, but Liu Yu couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.
She forwarded the video to her master and junior sister.
【Master, please take a look at this video】
【(Video shared)】
【Junior Sister, please take a look at this video】
【(Video shared)】
After sending it, Liu Yu anxiously returned to the video and started watching it at double speed.
She didn’t expect them to reply immediately.
After all, it was already past midnight, and their schedules were regular—they’d likely be asleep by now.
Listening to the vlogger introduce each room in the mansion, Liu Yu’s worry deepened.
Was the vlogger really going to be okay?
Since the video had been uploaded, it meant she hadn’t encountered any immediate danger after filming.
With only this video, no matter how anxious Liu Yu was, she could only remain calm for the moment.
She had been following her master since childhood.
Although she wasn’t exactly a “fighter of evil,” when it came to situations where someone might be in danger, she found it hard to just stand by.
Since the video was edited and uploaded, the vlogger must have watched it herself and realized the mansion was indeed haunted, right?
Thinking this over, Liu Yu exhaled and calmed herself.
Maybe the vlogger had already sought help to exorcise the place…
Patting her chest, she set aside the idea of sending her own contact information.
If the vlogger had already called in professionals, her interference might be unnecessary.
Besides, there was something else troubling her even more.
What exactly was the situation with this mansion?
Although modern films and literature often feature the “Red-Clothed Ghost,” making it seem common…
Liu Yu knew that in reality, red ghosts were extremely rare.
She had handled at least a hundred rituals, and truly encountered red ghosts only a handful of times.
And in most cases, her master dealt with them personally, sometimes with the help of his trusted friends…
Someone like her, who hadn’t fully cultivated yet, could only listen in.
So why did this mansion have a red ghost?
Liu Yu had no recollection of this place.
She originally thought it was just some random abandoned house…
Why could an ordinary vlogger find this kind of information, which should have been sealed off about a notorious haunted house?
A normal person going into such a place, heavy with negative energy, would at least feel discomfort or cold…
But this vlogger didn’t detect any of those “abnormalities.”
She had no professionalism as a spirit explorer…
Wait.
Liu Yu realized her thoughts might be trapped in a misconception.
“Hmm?”
The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.
Yet, it also felt somewhat convincing.
Maybe…The vlogger wasn’t an ordinary person?
That was why she was handling it so effortlessly?
With this new perspective, Liu Yu changed how she viewed the video.
She rewound it back to the beginning.
That clear, crisp voice sounded from the screen once more.
Liu Yu blinked, analyzing the vlogger’s tone and timbre carefully.
The first time she heard it, she just thought the voice was pleasant.
But now, she detected hints of casual indifference, coldness, aloofness, and a trace of confidence.
It definitely wasn’t the kind of tone a regular person would have when about to explore a haunted mansion.
When the window opened and the waterweed fell onto the vlogger’s hand, she seemed to only react lightly.
Her voice throughout remained calm, with no trace of fear or sense of danger.
Recalling the reflection she had seen on that window…
Earlier, she had wondered why the red-clothed figure had done such a strange thing.
Now, Liu Yu suddenly had an idea.
She remembered the red shadow that appeared on the second-floor balcony before the vlogger entered the mansion.
At first, Liu Yu thought it was a mere illusion of eye contact.
But maybe it wasn’t an illusion at all.
The red shadow was indeed staring directly at the camera.
As for why, it was naturally related to the red shadow’s identity.
It seemed the true identity of this red figure must be—A lover.
A human-ghost romance? How tragic.
Liu Yu had heard many stories of lovers who couldn’t let go after death, lingering as spirits.
She had even dealt with similar cases herself…
Thinking of the color red, this had to be a sorrowful tale.
The vlogger was so young, yet already widowed?
No wonder her voice sounded so cold and detached—it was because her heart was already locked and sealed against love.
Although her master often told her not to read too many novels, Liu Yu believed that reading so many had actually improved her logical thinking.
At this moment, she had successfully deduced such a complicated and tragic relationship just from one video.
Generally, red ghosts were very aggressive, even toward their lovers in life, sometimes exhibiting extreme behaviors.
Judging from the vlogger’s ease and composure, she must have prepared countermeasures.
This seemingly casual vlog was actually just a part of a “play” between her and her lover who had become a vengeful spirit?
Interesting.
Liu Yu was once again glad she hadn’t presumptuously sent her contact details.
Suddenly, several message pop-ups interrupted her thoughts.
Master?
【I just woke up and saw your message. Why aren’t you asleep at this hour? Need a scolding?】
【I watched the video. I actually know the owner of this account.】
【You don’t need to worry about the girl in the video.】
Reading the messages, Liu Yu blinked.
Could it be that she really was a genius at deduction?
