Chapter 174 A Violent Death on the Spot, Treasure Turns into a Deadly Weapon

Wang Hui was live-streaming from the living room, so the door behind him was the apartment's main entrance. He went to open the door, but there was no one in the hallway outside.

Who is it?

Wang Hui went out to look for him, but judging from his appearance, he clearly couldn't find him.

He walked back, cursing and swearing, and closed the door. "Who knocked on my door and then left? Was it a prank? What a bunch of rude people."

As soon as he closed the door, there was another knocking sound from outside.

"Damn it, who knocked on it?!"

The moment the knocking sounded, Wang Hui flung open the door and rushed out.

But once outside, he was confused, because even though he rushed out immediately, he still didn't see anyone knocking on the door.

There seemed to be a chilly wind blowing in the corridor, which made him sneeze.

"Speechless, who is it?"

Wang Hui returned, cursing and swearing, and closed the door. But this time, he didn't turn around. Instead, he hid behind the door and looked out through the peephole.

He wanted to see who dared to play such a prank on his doorstep!

Knock knock knock.

Sure enough, the knocking sounded again, but Wang Hui kept looking through the peephole and didn't see anyone outside his house.

His pupils contracted, his face turned deathly pale, and he involuntarily took several steps back.

"Why is no one outside? What's that knocking on the door? I definitely heard the knocking, could I have misheard?"

[Holy crap, this is so creepy! Could this guy have encountered a ghost?]

[Yun Shu said he would encounter a ghost at his door; it must be a ghost knocking, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to see it.]

[You're scared already? The price of not trusting Yun Shu is high; there's definitely something even more terrifying waiting for you! Let your greed be thwarted!]

Wang Jianye witnessed this bizarre scene through Wang Hui's live stream and saw the comments from netizens talking about ghosts visiting his door. He felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

Especially after he saw Wang Hui step back several steps, a strange black shadow appeared on the door.

Wang Hui was a man, but the shadow was much shorter than him, with a slightly hunched posture, shoulder-length hair that was a bit fluffy and curly.

The strangest thing was that there was something stuck in the belly of the shadow, which looked like a long sword.

The owner of that shadow is not Wang Hui!

Not only Wang Jianye and the audience saw the shadow on the door, but Wang Hui, who was standing by the door, also saw it.

His face turned even paler, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"What is that?!"

Wang Hui had just let out a scream when he saw the shadow on the door become clearer and clearer, even more three-dimensional.

A growing, dark, gloomy aura seeped out from the crack in the door, like a fog, so thick that even a camera lens could capture it.

The shadow was still unclear in detail, but a cold voice could be heard.

"You dare take my things? You've got some nerve! Since you were born at such an auspicious time, you might as well give yourself to me! I'm injured right now, and a child born in the yin stage is a great tonic, hehehehe!"

"Ah! Don't come any closer!"

Wang Hui's screams grew increasingly pitiful as he scrambled and rolled, trying to escape the black mist, but it quickly enveloped him.

"Ahh!"

Screams echoed from within the black mist.

Netizens couldn't see what was inside at all. It was only after a long time, when the black fog dissipated, that they could see the situation in Wang Hui's house.

The ground was covered in bright red blood. Wang Hui's body lay on the ground, his head rolled to the side, clearly indicating that he had been killed by having his head twisted off.

Beside his neck lay the jade Buddha pendant, its surface stained with blood, almost turning it into blood jade.

"Oh My God."

Seeing this, Wang Jianye was so frightened that he dropped his phone, and Yun Shu's words kept echoing in his mind.

Losing money is a way to avert disaster. He robbed you of your wealth, but he also took away your hardship. His death is imminent.

He had previously suspected that Yun Shu and Wang Hui were working together to put on a show, just to trick him out of the jade Buddha pendant, using this mystical excuse to make him not pursue the matter.

Unexpectedly, not long after Yun Shu finished speaking, Wang Hui died, and died such a tragic death!

Moreover, Wang Hui's appearance clearly didn't indicate a natural death! He was obviously killed by an evil spirit!

"Losing money is a way to avoid disaster, losing money is a way to avoid disaster, it really is a way to avoid disaster by losing money!"

Wang Jianye muttered to himself several times, still shaken, thankful that he hadn't had a chance to retrieve the jade Buddha pendant.

Now that Wang Hui is dead, it seems the evil spirit forgot to take the jade Buddha pendant, but Wang Jianye doesn't dare take it home.

Just as Yun Shu said, the jade Buddha pendant was stained with the blood of the dead and had become an ominous object!

After Wang Jianye calmed down, he sent Yun Shu messages for several days to thank her and even wanted to invite her to dinner in person.

Yun Shu said there was no need, and only told him to go to the police station on Chunyang Road to collect his belongings three days later.

When Wang Jianye saw Wang Hui's dead state, he didn't dare to take back the items. He specifically asked Yun Shu if there would be any trouble if he took them back.

Yun Shu said that there would be no problem if he took it back in three days, and that he shouldn't take it back earlier, without explaining why, but Wang Jianye remembered it well.

When Yun Shu sent a message to Wang Jianye, she also got up and went out; she was going to catch the old woman.

When the shadow appeared in Wang Hui's live stream just now, she recognized it as that old woman, and there was her sword stuck in that guy's body.

After the old woman killed Wang Hui, she took his soul with her.

However, she seemed to have discovered that some underworld messengers were tracking her, and she left in a hurry, so she didn't take the jade Buddha pendant with her.

Yun Shu had just stepped out when she received a message from Chu Xingnan: her colleague was following the old woman, and she was driving her sports car to pick Yun Shu up.

Yun Shu waited at the door for a while, and soon saw Chu Xingnan's sports car. She quickly got into the car and went over with Chu Xingnan.

Chu Xingnan's paper sports car was faster than a human car, since she could drive using ghost magic and arrived at her destination in the blink of an eye.

"So that's where you were hiding."

As soon as Yun Shu got out of the car, she recognized the place. It was the abandoned commercial area where she and Lu Shijing had found the clothes left behind by the old woman.

Chu Xingnan's voice came through, "This place was set up with a hiding formation, and we couldn't find her exact hiding place before. But just now, my colleague broke the formation, and that old woman is hiding underground. She even built an underground palace down there."

"No wonder."

Yun Shu suddenly realized.

No wonder when she came here before, she found the magnetic field and vegetation to be strange, but she couldn't find any ghosts or monsters lurking around.

It turns out there was a formation concealing it.

Yun Shu could clearly sense something was wrong underground. She found a spot and was preparing to use her spiritual power to shatter the ground.

But Chu Xingnan stopped her, saying, "Don't touch anything here, or something terrible will happen. The entrance isn't here!"

Yun Shu asked in confusion, "Why?"

Chu Xingnan explained, "This abandoned commercial district has a large array set up above ground to hide it, but the old woman deliberately didn't completely conceal the Yin energy, just to lure us into breaking through it!"

"Because after my colleague cracked the concealment formation, he discovered that there were many smaller formations underground that combined to form a large killing array. If we force our way into the underground palace, we will definitely trigger the killing array and be killed inside!"

Yun Shu quickly withdrew her hand, still shaken, and asked, "Where is the real entrance to the underground palace?"
