Chapter 23: Give an Explanation
Lately, there was one streamer setting fire to the related online communities.
Maybe it was because they had originally had nothing to do with horror or the occult—the attention only seemed to grow stronger.
As proof of that, the video that first became a hot topic was laughably clumsy in the eyes of genre enthusiasts.
An abandoned hospital—so well-worn, so often entered, it might as well have been called threadbare.
A production so cliché, it was practically textbook.
An object falling over—because that’s the easiest kind of manipulation to pull off.
There was no verification that no string was attached. And there were even companions present—making it all the more suspicious.
In fact, the moment people heard they were heading to a haunted location, most of the new viewers assumed it had to be staged.
But something strange happened afterward.
Streamer Hyeseong, who had been filming, began acting strangely.
As if they’d seen something, they suddenly started shouting and bolting around, crashing into things.
Even through the screen, Hyeseong’s fear felt raw and unmistakable—too intense to be acting.
