A baby covered in blood was lying on the ground, grabbing towards her with its little hands. When it saw that she had noticed it, the baby looked up and grinned at her. Its eyes had no whites, they were completely black, and there seemed to be black air coming out of them.
The chubby little face is so pale, not at all the plump and cute look of a normal baby!
Xue Huan dodged and then saw all kinds of ghosts.
Hanged ghost, water ghost, headless ghost...
The small yard is filled with all kinds of ghosts, which suddenly appear from all kinds of unimaginable places.
Xue Huan was terrified at first, but she soon discovered that these ghosts had no killing power at all and just looked scary. As long as she could overcome her fear, they would not be able to cause any substantial harm to her.
In addition, there was a space that served as a shelter where she could hide at any time, so in the end, she calmed down after being frightened for so long, and even began to appreciate those strange-looking ghosts with interest.
After all, there are not many opportunities to see various ghosts at once without worrying about personal safety.
But as she looked, she discovered a problem, that is, these ghosts were surprisingly familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before!
Oh, and isn't this ghost baby with completely black eyes from a horror movie she saw in high school?!
And that female ghost that crawled out of the tree was clearly Sadako!
What is going on here?
Xue Huan entered the space and stared at the bronze mirror, thinking.
The bronze mirror can reflect the situation outside in real time, but now there is no ghost in the bronze mirror, only a courtyard overgrown with weeds. When she appears outside, she can see the ghosts again.
Her eyes might be deceived, but the bronze mirror, which is a magical instrument, would not, because it showed absolutely real scenes.
So this mirror is also called "Breaking Illusions".
Break the illusion!
A flash of inspiration struck Xue Huan. Could it be that the ghosts outside were actually illusions? If not, then what she saw wouldn't be the same "ghosts" she'd seen in movies before.
There might be some kind of hallucinogenic creature in the yard, maybe a flower, or maybe a legendary formation. When she appeared in the yard, the ghosts that originally existed in her image appeared!
So in the end she was just scaring herself!
Those residents who moved in and out in the past might have been in the same situation and scared themselves.
So, what exactly is causing the hallucinations in the hospital?
Xue Huan looked around and finally her eyes fell on that unknown tree.
This tree is the most suspicious in the whole yard.
After all, those sounds came from the fruits on the tree.
Xue Huan picked a fruit and brought it into the space. The fruit seemed like a shrunken coconut, only the size of a fist. She cut the fruit open and found that the internal structure was very strange. It was a spiral circle, and the vertical section was radial, with light blue lines spreading out from the central dot.
very beautiful.
The fruit exuded a fragrant aroma. Xue Huan couldn't help but take a deep sniff, and then -
The ghost appeared in front of her again.
…
After a night of research, Xue Huan discovered the secret of the magic fruit - the name she gave to the fruit.
First, it could store sounds. For example, if she spoke to it and left it there for a while, it would repeat her words back. The sounds she had heard before were probably spoken by people who had lived in the house before, and recorded by the magic fruit.
Second, its fragrance can cause hallucinations, and they are terrifying.
Third, eating its pulp will stop hallucinating.
After figuring out the reason why this house became a haunted house, Xue Huan was no longer worried.
After breakfast, she found the dealer from yesterday and said, "I've made up my mind. I want to buy that house."
The broker initially suspected that he had heard wrongly. After knowing that the house was haunted, how could Miss Zhao still have the courage to buy it?
But then he thought about it and understood that he must be trying to get the bargain of the haunted house.
But since she wanted to buy it, he naturally had no choice but to agree.
The two exchanged the money and the house deed, then went to the government office to handle the transfer procedures. Xue Huan gave the broker a commission, and the broker was very happy. "Now that Miss Zhao has bought the house, do you need to buy some maids and servants? How about I introduce you to some?"
Xue Huan: "Let's talk about it in two days."
"Okay, then you must come to see me when the time comes." The broker left reluctantly.
The reason why Xue Huan didn't buy the person immediately was because she had no cash on hand and had to get some money first.
After thinking about it, she went to the Pawnshop again, this time to pawn something.
The price offered by the pawnshop was reasonable, not too shabby. After pawning a few items, she had some money in her hands. The next step was to tidy up and clean up the house she had just bought.
There were craftsmen who specialized in this kind of work. Xue Huan found a broker and, with his introduction, chose Master Chai, who had a good reputation. Master Chai brought two apprentices and completed the work in just ten days.
Xue Huan went to check it out. The originally dilapidated house now looks brand new. All the weeds and dead branches in the yard have been cleared away. It can be said that the work has been done quite well.
Xue Huan was very satisfied. In addition to their wages, she gave them a reward and said that if there was such a thing again next time, she would invite them back.
Master Chai left happily with his two apprentices.
The house has been repaired, and the next step is to arrange for servants.
The people brought by the broker stood in two rows in the yard, waiting to be selected by Xue Huan.
She stood on the steps of the porch and glanced at the people. "To be honest, this house was a haunted house not long ago, and everyone avoided it. I'm sure you've heard some of the ghost stories here before. It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of them. Now you can listen to Uncle Peng tell you about it again."
She signaled to the person in charge with her eyes.
The broker wondered what Miss Zhao was up to. She actually asked him to tell these people about the haunted house. Wasn't she afraid of scaring them and making them afraid to stay?
But since she asked him to do so, he couldn't refuse, so he told those people about it.
The dentist was very eloquent and he described the ghost stories vividly, as if he had experienced them personally, making everyone feel as if they were there, and expressions of fear appeared on their faces.
The more timid ones screamed or hugged each other and trembled.
After the talk, the broker stepped aside, and Xue Huan spoke up, "Now you all know. If you're willing to stay, just stand where you are. If you don't want to stay, just stand to the sides. I won't force you. Maybe the next owner you meet will be better."
As soon as she said this, most of the people retreated to the sides.
They didn't want to stay and be scared to death by ghosts.
