Chapter 68 In the Attic...
"Young man, what's going on in this house!"
The old man's words clearly reached the ears of the sales clerk who had run over. As soon as the old man finished speaking, the clerk said, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? How could such a good house be damaged!"
"You unscrupulous developers, don't you know this place is a disaster? Several people have died here!" The old man was a straightforward person, and the saleswoman was practically jumping up and down in frustration. But the old man was over seventy years old, and he couldn't do anything but try to appease Sister Bai:
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. This house is perfectly fine, how could it be in trouble!"
Sister Bai looked worried and said, "Whether it's true or not, I'm already a little scared of this house. And you're asking for over a million for such a terrible house... forget it... you should just sell it to someone else!"
The salesperson was almost in tears, saying, "A little over a million is already very cheap. Look... it's two or three hundred square meters! Even in a third-tier city, you couldn't afford such a large area!"
"Oh, I see. No wonder you offered such a low price. Forget it, I won't buy it. Even if this house is the best in the world, I wouldn't dare live there!" Sister Bai said, turning to leave. Su Mo, who was standing to the side, could barely contain her laughter, while Xiao Zhen laughed so hard she almost fell over. However, as soon as she saw Chu Renmei looking at her, she quickly shut her mouth.
Seeing Ms. Bai about to leave, the salesperson immediately chased after her. This house was notoriously haunted in Jiang City. Several previous owners had lived there, and all had either fallen ill or died. Even now, no one in Jiang City, or anyone who had lived there for a while, dared to buy it. Now that they had finally found someone interested, the salesperson was determined not to let go!
"Mr. Lin, wait a minute! What would it take for you to buy this building? This house isn't as terrible as the rumors say. If you don't buy it, I'll be in trouble too; I'm about to lose my job!" The saleswoman was almost crying as she spoke. Sister Bai thought for a moment and said, "At most 500,000, otherwise I don't want it!"
"Huh? Five hundred thousand!" The sales clerk was dumbfounded, while Sister Bai held her head high and said, "I won't buy it for even a penny more than five hundred thousand!"
Seeing how determined Ms. Bai was, the sales clerk could only say with a bitter expression, "Okay, I'll ask our manager."
The salesperson immediately made a phone call, and a few minutes later, she came back looking aggrieved and said, "Our manager said it's okay!"
Sister Bai felt a surge of pride. A two- or three-hundred-square-meter apartment, and a unique retro-style building at that, for 500,000 yuan—she'd really struck gold! As for the claws? Heh heh heh, it's all her property now. If any claw dares to cause trouble, she'll beat it to a pulp!
If the sales staff and their manager knew that Sister Bai was the renowned Master Lin, they would probably be kicking themselves.
That afternoon, Sister Bai signed the contract and paid in full. After signing the contract, the house belonged to her. After seeing the salesperson off, Sister Bai went upstairs. Su Mo was a little puzzled and asked, "Sister Bai, isn't it a waste of time to inspect the house after signing the contract?"
Sister Bai said with a smile, "That old man was right, this house is indeed interesting. I'd like to go take a look first!"
Su Mo immediately exclaimed, "No way, Brother Bai, you still want to buy it? I thought you were deliberately trying to lower the price!"
"So what if it's a claw? Just get rid of it! I'm a detective, after all!" Sister Bai said. But seeing Su Mo's frightened look, Sister Bai went over and put her arm around her shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, it's broad daylight now, so it won't cause any claws. And if it does come out, I'm here for you!"
Su Mo blushed, but mustered her courage and followed him upstairs.
Bai Jie went straight to the attic door. Her intuition told her there was something wrong with the attic. Otherwise, the salesperson wouldn't have stopped her from looking. However, Bai Jie didn't rush in. Instead, she looked out the window first. When Su Mo asked what she was looking at, Bai Jie said:
"The top of this attic is covered by a branch of the big tree next to it, and the leaves block out all the light. This attic is a good place to hide, and it is also a good place with enough yin energy."
Su Mo was a little confused by Sister Bai's words, but Sister Bai didn't explain further. After surveying the surroundings, he grasped the doorknob and gently turned it.
The door lock was a bit stiff, probably because it hadn't been opened in a long time. Su Mo's nerves tightened with each turn of the doorknob. Although Sister Bai had said it wouldn't cause any trouble in broad daylight, Su Mo still couldn't help feeling nervous!
Finally, with a slight effort, Sister Bai opened the door!
As soon as the door opened, a shadow appeared in the eyes of Sister Bai and Su Mo, who had been staring at the attic. The thing fell on Sister Bai and Su Mo the instant the door opened.
Before either of them could even see what it was, Su Mo screamed. Sister Bai pulled her aside, but to Sister Bai's amusement and exasperation, it turned out to be just a teddy bear lying on the ground!
Seeing that it was just a doll, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Sister Bai couldn't help but say, "You're such a coward, why do you always follow me around like this!"
Su Mo smiled sheepishly, then looked into the attic. But as she looked inside, her eyes widened in surprise! Sister Bai, curious about the change, also turned her head, and when she saw what was inside the attic, she was utterly dumbfounded!

The attic reeked of mildew, but Bai Jie and Su Mo ignored the smell, their attention completely drawn to the scene before them.
