Chapter 14: Exploring the Haunted House
The next day.
Fang Yi said goodbye to his parents while carrying his luggage, got into the car that came to pick him up, and headed towards the city.
He had made up his mind to help Chen Jin's friend look for a house today, and then go directly to Longhu Mountain.
Originally Fang Yi thought that Chen Jin would come to introduce that Mr. Zhu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in the city, Xiao Zhang took Mr. Zhu to his car.
Mr. Zhu was a short, thin man in his sixties. He was quite polite. He shook hands with Fang Yi enthusiastically as soon as he came up. "Hello, Master. I am Zhu Licheng, a friend of Lao Chen."
Fang Yi responded politely, "Hello, Mr. Zhu."
After a brief acquaintance, Zhu Licheng said directly: "Master, let me tell you about the situation."
Fang Yi nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Zhu Licheng said: "I bought the villa for a cheap price when my business was not big in my early years. It is said that the previous owner was a writer of supernatural novels. Later, he died of illness. Then his wife was afraid that seeing the house would remind her of him, so she decided to sell the house at a low price. Someone once told me that the house was haunted, but I am not superstitious, so I didn't take it seriously at the time and bought it for a cheap price."
Fang Yi listened quietly.
Zhu Licheng continued, "When we first moved in, nothing was wrong. We only heard noises occasionally at night. My family and I thought it was caused by mice or something. But later, something was wrong. My wife said that sometimes she saw children playing at home. They would not respond when asked and would disappear when you turned your head. I still didn't believe in ghosts and thought someone was playing a prank."
Fang Yi asked, "When did you confirm it was haunted?"
"One night a few years ago, I was busy at the company until very late."
Zhu Licheng recalled and said: "My wife, daughter and son-in-law were all asleep at the time. You know, our place is small and there are not many places to eat at night, so I went home and wanted to cook something to eat. But suddenly, a creepy female ghost with blood all over her face appeared in the kitchen. She was floating in the air. I was scared to death at the time. That's not all. After that night, the haunting became more and more frequent. Very scary scenes would appear almost every other day. One night, our family was having dinner, but the walls kept spreading bright red blood. My family was almost scared to death."
He looked terrified as he said this.
It doesn't really seem like a lie.
Xiao Zhang added, "Yes, at that time, when Mr. Zhu was still living in that villa, my boss asked me to deliver something there, and I met a child. At first I thought it was Mr. Zhu's grandson, but when I asked, I found out it wasn't. I told you about this yesterday. It was really creepy."
"Alas, I originally wanted to sell the house, but I don't know who spread the rumor that it was haunted, and no one was willing to take it over." Zhu Licheng sighed, and then said eagerly: "If the immortal can help me exorcise the ghost, I will pay you 500,000 yuan afterwards."
Although the two spoke very convincingly, they did not seem to be lying.
But Fang Yi never believed in ghosts.
Because he has seen what the "real world" is like.
"Let's talk about whether to pay or not first. I'll go over and take a look at the situation first."
Fang Yi neither refused nor agreed.
I just wanted to find out what was going on with Mr. Zhu's villa out of curiosity.
…
After an hour's journey.
A group of three people came to the city.
Soon, the car drove into the community.
Zhu Licheng pointed to a villa in front and said, "That's it, Master. Don't blame me for being timid. I really don't dare to go in."
Xiao Zhang mustered up his courage and said, "I'll go in with you, Daxian, and take a look."
Fang Yi saw Xiao Zhang's frightened look, thought for a moment and waved his hand, saying, "No, give me the key, I'll go in and check the situation by myself."
Zhu Licheng quickly took out the key and warned him: "Master, you must be careful. If you can't exorcise the ghost, don't force it. At worst, I don't want this house anymore."
"good."
Fang Yi didn't say anything else. He took the key, got out of the car and walked towards the villa gate.
Open the door and come inside.
You know what, the room is quite luxurious.
Perhaps because no one has lived here for a long time, the furniture is covered in dust.
He was not in a hurry to leave his body, but instead walked around the house.
I looked upstairs and downstairs.
The results did not reveal anything abnormal.
Go back downstairs.
Fang Yi was just about to leave his body to see what was going on.
Suddenly, he saw a little old lady sitting on the sofa.
The little old lady is dressed a little strangely.
It is autumn now and not that cold yet, but she is wearing a flowery cotton jacket.
Fang Yi thought he had really seen a ghost, and immediately wanted to leave his body to see the true form of this ghost.
Unexpectedly, the old lady suddenly turned her head and said with a smile: "Young man, no one has lived in this house for a long time. Are you the owner of this house? I live next door and saw the door was open, so I came to see if there was a thief."
Oh, it’s the neighbor.
Fang Yi didn't think much about it and said casually: "I'm not the owner of this house. I just came back to get something for him."
"As long as it's not a thief, I'll be relieved." The old lady stood up and walked out. "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. You can continue with your work."
Then she staggered out.
Fang Yi was stunned only after he saw her walk out.
I checked upstairs and downstairs.
I didn't find anything strange in the house.
No problem.
Why are you still saying it's haunted?
He felt strange and returned his consciousness to his body.
Then, Fang Yi returned to the car.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhu Licheng couldn't wait to ask, "Master, did you find anything?"
Fang Yi shook his head, "No."
Zhu Licheng wondered, "That's impossible. I have indeed seen a ghost with my own eyes."
Fang Yi laughed dumbly and said, "Maybe you are hallucinating because of the stress from work."
Zhu Licheng said with a smile, "It would be fine if I was the only one who saw the ghost. My family, Xiao Zhang, and the neighbors nearby have all encountered ghosts to varying degrees. Even the people living in the two villas next door couldn't stand the situation and moved away. Do you think it's still an illusion?"
"I don't know about that..." Fang Yi was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. "Wait, you just said that the two families next door to you have moved away?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhu Licheng looked at him strangely.
Fang Yi quickly told the story of what happened to the old lady in the room just now.
Xiao Zhang took a deep breath and said, "Boss Zhu and I have been sitting in the car. We didn't see anyone come out."
Zhu Licheng also said in horror: "Yes, I didn't see anyone coming out, and there's no one living next door, how could there be a little old lady?"
What?
No one lives next door?
And the two of them didn’t see anyone coming out of the house?
Fang Yi felt terrified for the first time and thought to himself, are there really ghosts in this world?
But he really didn't want to believe it. After all, he had used the model constructed by the statue to see the real appearance of the world, and he didn't find any ghosts.
What's up with that little old lady?
Fang Yi was still a little bit unconvinced, "I'll go in and take another look."
This time he thought it through. If he couldn't see anything after his spirit left his body, the worst that could happen was that he would waste a little more energy and use the model constructed by replicating the statue to check the house again.
He wanted to see what the true form of the so-called ghost was.
