Chapter 173 The Revenge of the Ancient Tree (2/2)



He glanced at Lin Xi's legs with a hint of fear.

He's so powerful, I wonder if I can kick him away with one kick.

He shuddered unconsciously, then calmly distanced himself from Lin Xi.

"Okay, everyone is ready, then follow my steps and go!"

At Zheng Nianhe's command, the supernatural bicycle team set off together.

The temperature is not high at this moment. There is a cool breeze in the evening and the sunset can be seen in the distance. The scenery is particularly beautiful.

However, Lin Xi discovered that, apart from her and the new male employee who were riding and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the evening, the expressions on the faces of the other dozen or so veteran employees were not relaxed, and there was even a hint of solemnity on their faces.

"Um, Lin Xi, do you think the seniors' expressions are weird?"

Just at this moment, the voice of another new employee came from the side. The boy's name was Du Qi.

Lin Xi casually said, "Maybe we should go to a more exciting place today."

Actually, Du Qi also felt the same way, and it made him feel a little nervous when he thought about it.

"Well, aren't you scared? I don't know where the captain is taking us. Oh, and do you want a talisman? I went to a master this morning to ask for one."

Dutch is the typical type of person who is addicted to food.

He was very interested in the so-called "paranormal events", but he was also somewhat worried that he might actually encounter something. So this morning he found a master near his home and bought a few amulets from him. The four amulets cost him two thousand dollars!

Lin Xi took a look at the talisman in his hand which had no spiritual energy at all, and was suddenly speechless.

"Thanks, but I don't need it. I advise you not to buy from that master in the future."

Du Qi quickly realized that Lin Xi was saying that the master's talisman was fake.

He doubted it and said, "No way, my grandma even had her fortune told by a fortune teller, and she said it was very accurate."

Lin Xi did not comment on whether the fortune-telling master was accurate or not.

But at least he obviously has no talent in drawing talismans.

Lin Xi shook his head and said nothing more.

Anyway, judging from the faces of Du Qi and the others, she felt that nothing would happen tonight.

After riding for about ten minutes, the team began to leave the streets and areas and headed towards a remote road. At this time, there was no sign of human life on both sides of the road, only weeds and abandoned land.

After riding forward for a few minutes, Zheng Nianhe, who was in the front, suddenly stopped and answered a phone call.

"What? You can't come because of something urgent? What should we do then? We're about to leave in ten minutes."

"Alright, alright, you're such a jerk. We've been working together for so long and still something went wrong. I know where it is. It's on another road to your farm, right?"

After talking to the person on the other end of the phone for a few more words, Zheng Nianhe hung up the phone with a dark face.

From his few words, it was not difficult to hear that the owner of the previously booked place could not go, and now he had to change the place temporarily.

And just when he hung up the phone, Lin Xi casually glanced at Du Qi who was standing next to him, and suddenly found a black mark on his forehead.

She frowned, rode forward for a while and looked at the faces of the others, and found that their foreheads were also more or less stained with some gray and black.

It seems that this new place is not very good.

Fortunately, this group of people will not encounter any major problems in the end.

Lin Xi thought about it, then went to Zheng Nianhe and asked him.

"Where are we going later?"

Zheng Nianhe naturally didn't know the seriousness of the problem and just thought Lin Xi was curious because he had just heard the phone call.

Anyway, this place is not far from the destination, so he no longer hides it.

"Originally, I had booked a very thrilling manor, but the owner just told me that he had something urgent to do and couldn't come. Luckily, there's a villa nearby that's said to have been abandoned for decades. It's a good backup plan, so let's go there."

"Let me tell you something now. Tonight, our plan is to explore the abandoned villa. I heard from the owner of the manor that the villa was last occupied ten years ago. The last resident hanged himself inside the villa. Before that, every resident had problems, with people dying and getting injured. Everyone says there must be something wrong with the villa, perhaps a thousand-year-old ghost living inside. Our goal is to find out what's wrong with it! Do you have confidence in this future?"

Finally, after the previous resident had an accident, his family tried to sell the villa. Unfortunately, everyone knew that there was something wrong with the villa, so everyone was avoiding it. Who would dare to buy it?

In addition, the location here is not good, so no one bought the villa. In the end, it was empty and abandoned for ten years, and no one dared to enter it anymore.

In fact, the original owner of this villa originally wanted to build a mountain vacation villa. He also opened a fish pond and built an orchard near the villa. He thought that when he was tired of living in the city, he would come to the villa in the suburbs to rest for a few days, but something unexpected happened.

Finally, it was sold to the first owner at a low price. Then something happened after the first owner moved in. Then it was sold to the third owner. The last owner was ten years ago. I don’t know how many times the house has changed hands.

But now the villa has become an abandoned building and no one dares to enter.

It was said that a so-called adventure host had gone there to explore at night, but after entering, he could not connect the signal and had to leave helplessly.

After all, he took the risk just to broadcast and earn traffic. If he can't even broadcast, what's the point of going in?

In short, this is a place full of legends and mystery.

Lin Xi looked at Zheng Nianhe and the others who were so excited, and couldn't help but sigh.

It turns out that if you don't seek death, you won't die.

But, okay, she was curious too.

It was already dark at this moment, and they had arrived at the villa that Zheng Nianhe had mentioned.

A group of people stood at the door of the villa, looking at the villa surrounded by weeds in the moonlight.

The construction style of the villa is quite old, at least from fifty or sixty years ago.

The villa has two floors, each floor is about 200 square meters, which is quite large. The doors and windows have been damaged for a long time, leaving only the frames. You can vaguely see what's inside through the windows.

Unfortunately, there is nothing but darkness.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and the rustling sound of the trees was particularly clear at this moment. The wind became louder, the amplitude of the leaves shaking also increased, and the sound became more and more like wailing.

And those dark windows were like a pair of eyes embedded in the wall, staring at them intently.

Even though this group of people had been to many dangerous and strange places before, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines at this moment.

"Hey, everyone, stand still. I'll give you supplies."

Zheng Nianhe averted his gaze and quickly gathered everyone around him, then took out a dozen flashlights from his bag.

"The water and food are too heavy, I'm too lazy to carry them, so everyone, just bear with it for a while and wait until we finish exploring the villa before going back to drink."

Zheng Nianhe took a look at the villa and thought that there were only a few rooms in it at most. They estimated that they could visit all of them in less than an hour.

Everyone took the flashlight handed out by Zheng Nianhe in turn, and then listened to him explain some precautions.

"Let's try to act together, not for others. If we separate, it will be bad if one of us scares the other. So let's go together, okay?"

"knew."

After everything was explained, everyone went to the villa together.

I don’t know if it’s because no one has been here for a long time, and there are only weeds and trees all around, but when we got close to the villa gate, everyone felt a little cold.

But they soon lost their cool because of the excitement of entering the villa.

The iron door on the first floor of the villa had long been rusted and the handle was broken, so Zheng Nianhe opened it almost as soon as he pushed it.

“Crunch.”

The iron gate slowly made an old and unpleasant sound, which was particularly clear in the silent night.

As soon as the door opened, a smell of dust hit my nose.

They didn't have time to check the situation inside, they just covered their noses and turned their backs to breathe.

Lin Xi just frowned and took a quick look around the room when the others turned around.

It can be seen that the previous owner and his family cleaned the room well when they left, and the furniture on the first floor was covered with dust sheets.

However, the white dustproof cloth had turned gray or black after decades of use. Sometimes it was blown to the ground by the wind and torn into rags by mice or other things in the house, and scattered on the floor one by one.

"Ahem, this smell is too pungent."

Zheng Nian and a few others finally calmed down, adjusted their breathing, and turned to face the house again.

"Let me take a look. Besides the living room, dining room and kitchen, there seem to be two more rooms on the first floor. Let's start with the living room."

Actually, there is nothing much to see in the living room. Apart from a set of sofas and a coffee table, there is only a color TV next to the TV wall.

That’s right, a color TV, the kind that Zheng Nian and the others had only seen when they were children or in documentaries.

But the size of this color TV looks only about 30 inches, which is really pitifully small compared to the LCD TVs of several dozen inches that every household has now.

However, it was probably the most fashionable style ten years ago.

It's a miracle that it hasn't been stolen after so many years.

Zheng Nian and the others subconsciously walked towards the color TV. Several of them were majoring in communications, and their studies involved audio and video signal transmission, so they were quite interested in this antique color TV.

Others were less interested in television.

But before they entered, Zheng Nianhe told them to do activities in groups as much as possible, so they didn't leave.

Zheng Nianhua and his friends wanted to take the TV apart to see what was going on, but they didn't have the right tools, so they had to give up.

After watching for a minute or two, they decided to go to the kitchen.

As a result, at this moment, someone suddenly discovered that the number of people was wrong.

"Hey, are we missing someone?"

Hearing this, a group of people hurriedly checked each other's surroundings, and finally found that the missing person was Du Qi, a new member of the group.

"Wasn't he just here? Could it be that he secretly ran off to look somewhere else?"

As people who have been there, they all understand the curiosity and excitement of new members when they take part in their first expedition.
