Chapter 27: Live Stream of "Food" Videos

Mammoth Live.

The live stream of the well-known game streamer "Haozi".

The streamer died suddenly in the game, and the chat was flooded with comments from the viewers.

"Brother Mouse, I've directed traffic to you, and I just reported you. The official team said they'll keep an eye on you."

"Who gave their all? Who committed a crime? Whose positioning was off? Who was in the zone? Who was targeting them? Who was yelling 'retreat' at Jiaotong University? Whose teammates were exhausted? Who lacked compassion?"

"The poor guys in the live stream rack their brains every day to come up with funny ideas to make you laugh without sending any gifts, and you don't even thank them. But when others send you a few gifts, you're all over them thanking them. Are you obsessed with money?"

"If you can talk, then be sarcastic; if you can't, then attack directly. If that doesn't work, then copy and paste. Don't stay silent in the live stream. If you're not going to engage in this kind of banter, then get out of the live stream."

"Please stop sending gifts! Everyone else is just seriously participating, and you're the only one throwing gifts. Does that make you stand out? I'll say it again, gift-giving is prohibited in this charity livestream!"

……

Two years ago, Jian Minghao might have been devastated by such comments, but now he remains completely unfazed and even shouts back.

"Brothers in the live stream, send a light stick, feel free to join any live stream."

Then he found a comfortable angle to lean back in his gaming chair, put the beef fried rice he had just ordered on the table, and prepared to eat before continuing to play ranked games.

"Brothers, any recommendations for shows to watch while eating?"

Jian Minghao asked casually, then opened the takeout packaging and started eating. When he looked up, the live stream chat was flooded with comments about "Final Destination".

"I'm tired of Final Destination, brothers, let's watch something else." Jian Minghao said helplessly.

At this moment, a prominent paid message appeared in the live stream.

[There are new videos on the Lungmen Communication University website in the graduation project section.]

After reading the message, Jian Minghao paused in his chewing motion.

Judging from the usual comments, the audience in the live stream is quite diverse, with the vast majority being "people looking for fun." They definitely don't want to see anything good.

But this kind of thing often produces the best entertainment value. Jian Minghao weighed the options for a moment and ultimately chose entertainment value.

He easily accessed the official website of Lungmen Communication University and, sure enough, found a "Graduation Project Online Showcase" section in the upper right corner.

Jian Minghao clicked in and found that there was only one video in the section.

The video's theme is "food," and the cover image shows Jiang Feng, who plays Hannibal Lecter, enjoying a meal.

Jian Minghao was taken aback.

Isn't this actor Jiang Feng? After being silent for so long, he finally reappeared in a college student's graduation project.

Is this video a biography of Jiang Feng?

But isn't the theme "food"? And the video title "Hannibal" has nothing to do with Jiang Feng's past.

Jian Minghao couldn't understand it.

He clicked on the film's details and discovered that the director was a familiar name—

Forest.

It is him again!

"That name looks familiar, isn't it the author of 'Final Destination'?"

"It's just a food-themed video, with an award-winning actor in it. It's boring. The streamer is being made to eat chaff."

"Jiang Feng, a film emperor! It's outrageous that he would act in a college student's graduation project."

"I feel this video isn't that simple; Jiang Feng won't play an ordinary role."

……

The live stream chat immediately became lively. Jian Minghao glanced at the comments and found that the most discussed topic among the viewers was the movie star Jiang Feng. So he decided to start watching from the moment Jiang Feng appeared on his first viewing.

Instead of worrying about what content a food video can have, let's start by looking at the trending topics.

Jian Minghao changed the title of his live stream to "Come on in, watch the latest food video from movie star Jiang Feng!"

Then Jian Minghao opened the video and quickly dragged the progress bar with the mouse. When it was almost halfway through, Jiang Feng's shot finally appeared in the small window.

He clicked play here, but a vague unease lingered in his heart.

When I swiped the progress bar, the images that flashed in the small window were nothing like what you'd expect from a "food" theme.

It's more like a... crime film?

【…】

"Come in." Hannibal opened the door.

Jack, the head of the Behavioral Science Department, rose from his chair and entered Hannibal's studio.

"May I ask what you need me for?" Hannibal closed the door.

"You can ask, but I have a question for you first." Jack looked at Hannibal, and after he nodded in response, he said, "Do you have any other appointments?"

"As expected of Jiang Feng, even playing a doctor is so gentle and refined."

"This psychologist's acting is so captivating."

Jian Minghao couldn't quite understand what a psychologist could have to do with "food."

But he didn't care about that, since the live stream was very lively and new viewers were constantly being drawn in, with the number of online viewers already exceeding 100,000.

Jian Minghao's face lit up with a smile.

Shortly after, the video feed switched from Hannibal's studio.

Crows caw, a woman's corpse is impaled on a deer's head, left to rot in the wilderness...

Jian Minghao's smile froze instantly.

Wasn't this supposed to be a food video?

The live stream chat was flooded with question marks, and a large number of viewers who entered the live stream based on the title even began to question their existence.

The video continues playing.

"The deer head was stolen last night about a mile from here."

"Only the head?" Will asked.

"The police homicide unit has issued a statement referring to him as the 'Minnesota Shrike.'" Jack, head of the Science and Behavioral Science Unit, did not directly answer Will's question.

"Is that the name of a bird?"

"Shrikes prefer to live in trees. They use sharp twigs or barbed wire to pierce mice and lizards, pulling out their organs to eat in their food chambers," the investigator at the scene explained to Will.

[Jack's expression was grave: "He wants her to be found looking like this."]

"It's utterly absurd. I can almost feel him mocking her," Will said with a sorrowful expression as he slowly walked to the corpse. "Or perhaps he's mocking us."

"He removed her lungs," said the detective in charge of the scene investigation. "I'm certain she was still alive when he removed them."

The scene abruptly shifts to the kitchen, where Hannibal Lecter, wearing an apron, is preparing food.

The camera pans forward to a close-up, revealing fresh lungs on a cutting board in front of Hannibal, who is solemnly processing them...

"He handled it so skillfully... but the more I watched, the more frightened I became."

"Could it really be what I'm thinking?"

"I'm getting goosebumps, is this really a food video?"

"Stop cutting! Stop cutting! It's giving me the creeps."

……

Jian Minghao's face stiffened, and he looked down at the takeout box.

To treat himself, he specially ordered several servings of pork chops as an extra dish. The pork chops, which were usually delicious and visually appealing, seemed to have suddenly changed at this moment.

He wasn't scared, he just felt a little uneasy, and the more he looked at the steak, the more something seemed off about its texture...

Jian Minghao had no appetite at all.
