☆, Dad, save me
Suddenly, four or five people appeared at the entrance of the real estate agency in the darkness. Their attire was so understated that they blended seamlessly into the night. But if you got closer, you'd see they were holding nothing but weapons for burglary.
This was a group of veterans, their plan was very thorough, their tacit understanding was perfect, and they could communicate perfectly with just their eyes. After quietly prying open the door, the group went straight into the agency.
"Where is the money?" the leader quietly asked the one who led the way.
"It's in the southeast corner office. I stepped on it better during the day today."
As they were talking, they groped their way to the office and pried open the seemingly safe in just a few moves.
"How can three million be so much?" Several people looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Hahaha, greed is insatiable. It seems that the house is really worth a lot of money." The leader sneered and immediately understood the reason.
In the real estate industry, if they come across a good property they need to sell quickly, as long as they have sufficient liquidity, they will buy it in their company's name first, hoping to hold onto it and sell it at a higher price later. Clearly, this agency owner had this in mind. So, after saying goodbye to the man who had pretended to scout the property during the day, he quickly went to the bank to withdraw money in advance and put it in the safe.
It was originally a precautionary measure, but now it has benefited these thieves.
The men moved very quickly, and within five minutes they had neatly put all the money into the bag and taken it away. Little did they know, their actions were all seen by another person, the real estate agent.
The real estate agent was hiding under a table, practically pissing himself, not daring to come out. These thieves were armed with heavy weapons, and their actions were filled with a bloody atmosphere. Furthermore, in the darkness, the leader's face was clearly visible; it was clearly the robber and murderer the police had previously reported on TV.
There is a murder case on hand.
He suddenly remembered the advice Yu Jiuyin had given him during the day, "Don't keep anyone in the store at night, and if you do, don't make any noise, otherwise your life will be in danger." Considering the current situation, the boss almost peed his pants.
After all, if he really stood up to resist these people in front of him, he would probably be stabbed in the next second like the other victims before him.
The agency owner covered his mouth tightly and hid in fear, fearing he would be discovered. He didn't dare to breathe until the men left the store. He waited for over an hour, making sure they wouldn't come back, before crawling out from under the table and calling the police with trembling hands.
At the same time, he thought of the three college students who had also run into Yu Jiuyin that afternoon. If this wasn't a coincidence, then they wouldn't have...
Little did they know that although the boss's imagination seemed exaggerated, what the three college students were experiencing was a thousand times more terrifying than what the boss imagined.
All I can say is that you will die if you don't do it.
After returning from Yu Jiuyin's place, the three of them sat in the dormitory, feeling increasingly unhappy. They all started complaining on the school forum.
Yu Jiuyin had just taken over this haunted house, which had become quite famous among the young people in City B. Of course, it wasn't because it was fun and could satisfy people's curiosity, but because it had been neglected for so long that it was rumored to be one of the ten most haunted houses.
These three university students were also somewhat popular celebrities on the school's Night Talk forum. Not only were they minor moderators, but they were also live streamers of a certain platform's psychic outdoor livestream.
Recently, their new livestream had been exploring the ten most haunted houses in City B. Especially since they'd spent a night in the scariest house two days earlier. Therefore, it was currently peaking in popularity. Furthermore, the post was about Yu Jiuyin's haunted house, another of the ten most haunted houses, so it quickly gained attention.
At first, everyone started to complain, saying that if the haunted house was truly haunted, it would be fine, but it was unrealistic that it was still operating in such a dilapidated state. However, when they started to complain that Yu Jiuyin himself was scarier than the haunted house, they were laughed at.
"Hahaha, if it's really that scary, wouldn't it be great if he just went in and pretended to be a ghost? It would definitely be packed with tourists."
"What's with the old man on your back? He didn't say there were ten eunuchs floating above your head. That's ridiculous."
"To be frightened by such absurdity, I'm afraid you must be a fool."
They were all impulsive young people, and after being ridiculed for being timid, they simply refused to accept it. And so, a verbal battle lasted until late at night.
In the dormitory of "A Bunch of Idiots", the second of three college students threw his mouse in anger, thinking that the trolls in the forum were all idiots.
Seeing this, the third brother hurried over to persuade them, "Forget it, forget it, they know nothing. We brothers are no match for them. But having said that, although both are among the top ten haunted houses, the one on Mingchun Road a few days ago is much more interesting than this suburban haunted house. I just don't know what the case was all about."
"What else could it be?" The eldest brother, who had been resting with his eyes closed, became interested. "The case was solved the same day it was reported. The murderer was the male owner of a certain family. What a beast! Not only did he kill his own father, but he also disemboweled his two children."
"Not only that," the second brother deliberately lowered his voice, "I have a close friend whose father was involved in this case. It is said that the man behind the scenes also peeled off the skin of three corpses and sewed them together to make a human skin doll."
"Fuck, you scared me to death when you left"
The three of them were joking around, and the topic quickly passed. However, at this moment, the lights suddenly went out, startling them all. Looking at the clock again, it turned out to be lights-out time.
Exhaling, the three of them couldn't help but laugh at each other's cowardice. However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the glass outside the window with the curtains drawn.
"Who is this in the middle of the night? I'm afraid he's crazy." The second brother cursed and tried to close the curtains. However, he was stopped by the third brother before he could take two steps.
"What?" The second brother was puzzled. After turning around, he found that the eldest brother's face was also very ugly.
"We live on the sixth floor."
So who was knocking on the glass?
The second brother was completely stunned, a look of fear slowly showing in his eyes. And the temperature in the room, as if to match this fear, slowly cooled down.
The cold night cast mottled shadows on the ground through the gaps in the curtains, but from a certain angle, the three college students could clearly see a pair of prying eyes hidden behind the glass, as if examining whether the fresh meat in the room was tasty enough.
"Run, run!" The three of them ran towards the door like crazy. But the door wouldn't open at all. At this moment, the glass shattered, and the thing outside finally revealed its true face.
What the hell is this? The three of them were stunned with fear. They saw the ghost figure squeezing in from the window, which was completely different from their previous understanding.
Beneath the head, with its three ghostly faces, a godlike stick was poised. Yes, a stick. It felt like the ancient practice of hanging a skull for public display. The stick trembled, and the head swung with every bounce. A soft, white mass dripped from the neck. It looked like maggots from a rotting corpse, or like pulverized brain matter.
The three of them watched it several times in disbelief, their fear growing stronger and stronger as they couldn't look away. The ghost kept getting closer.
Tap, tap, tap
The sticks hit the ground rhythmically, and the air in the room became colder and colder. It seemed as if a young girl was clapping her hands and singing nursery rhymes in the dark.
"Turning over the flower rope, wrapping it around your fingers and tying a knot. Pulling the string, drawing out the shape, the twists are really funny. You turn over a big chicken foot, I turn over noodles. You turn over a big fishing net, I turn over a bathtub, you turn over an airplane parachute, I turn over scissors and a vase."
The tender, childish voice was particularly lovely, yet in the darkness of the night, it was eerie and terrifying to the extreme. This was because the nursery rhyme didn't represent how to play with the flower string, but was a naked song about the process of death.
Chicken feet are severed hands, noodles are intestines left after the stomach is opened, fishing nets are ropes tied into a knot around the body, and the bathtub is a container placed below to collect blood.
The ghost who was strangled to death had only a pair of head scissors and a vase, which were the real murder weapons.
"Yes, it's true. The legend of the haunted house is true." The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but regret why they went to that place in the first place.
But there is no regret medicine in the world. Just when they were unable to move their bodies due to fear, the ghost head on the stick also jumped towards them.
"Ah" the three people screamed uncontrollably, but this despair only brought death closer.
Over and over, the nursery rhyme grew increasingly piercing. The stick drew ever closer, until it was so close they could clearly smell the stench of decay emanating from the skull.
It smells like death.
The three of them hugged each other and trembled, their faces pale and unable to say anything.
At this moment, the ghost face in the middle suddenly opened its mouth wide, and its scarlet tongue, like the flower rope in the nursery rhyme, slowly attacked the three people, landing on their faces, moving along their skin bit by bit, and was about to circle their necks and strangle them to death.
"Help!" the three college students opened their mouths, but no sound came out. But at that moment, the second student's coat, still worn by him, glowed warmly where Yu Jiuyin had slapped him earlier. Then, they all felt a sense of relief, as if they had suddenly regained the ability to walk. As for the ghost, it also seemed to be stimulated, screaming and disappearing in an instant.
As their memories returned, they suddenly remembered Yu Jiuyin's words during the day asking them to stay, and they immediately regretted it. But the situation was critical, and saying anything else was useless. The only solution was to go back and find Yu Jiuyin.
"Let's go, let's go find that little boss."
"Yes, he must have a way to save us."
Having escaped death, the three of them no longer cared about anything else. They opened the dormitory door and crawled out.
It was not known whether it was a coincidence or an accident, but that night, the dormitory supervisor, who was usually strict in managing the situation, fell asleep, giving the three of them the opportunity to sneak out of the dormitory. This time, the three of them were really scared. After running out of the dormitory and out of the school gate, they didn't even dare to take a taxi. They rode their bicycles directly to the suburbs, and they rode at such a speed that they almost turned their bicycles into hot wheels.
However, Yu Jiuyin, who was in the haunted house at the time, was not living in peace at all. Instead, he was even more devastated than the boss and the three college students.
In August in City B, it felt like a sauna at night, with a stove burning during the day. It was so stuffy and damp that even the mat felt like it could sprout mushrooms. Furthermore, this unfortunate haunted house was old and lacked air conditioning. With only a broken electric fan, it was impossible to sleep soundly. The worst part was, when I went to buy an air conditioner that afternoon, the person who was selling it said that, in the middle of summer, there were so many people buying air conditioners that there was a waiting list for installation, and it would take another week for delivery.
Sitting up from the bed in annoyance, Yu Jiuyin felt that he might die of heatstroke within a week.
However, at this moment, an extremely dangerous aura quietly enveloped the entire haunted house. The spirit-calling bell at the bedside suddenly rang violently.
Guiqi Yu Jiuyin frowned, took the soul-calling bell in his hand, and planned to go out to see what was happening outside.
But as soon as he stepped out, he was grabbed by the thighs by three people who rushed over. They were the three university students who had come seeking help overnight. Behind them was a fierce ghost, singing as it hopped and chased them. The head on the stick, perhaps because of excessive anger, was even more terrifying than it had been in the dormitory before. Each of the three faces was extremely grim, and they slew the four people before them, as if considering where to start.
Yu Jiuyin blinked and commented, "It's really not easy to put it together like this without even having any legs."
"Master, help! That ghost is coming again." The three of them were completely scared after being chased by the evil ghost all the way. Now when they saw Yu Jiuyin, they wished he was closer than their own father.
Yu Jiuyin was silent for a long while, then said slowly, "Don't be ridiculous. Anyone with that kind of thing would definitely prefer to be a eunuch for life."
