4-4: Possessed by a Vengeful Ghost
Huaiyan, exhausted, slumped onto the sofa.
Although we know that the window incident was most likely caused by human intervention.
But he always felt...
It seemed as if a demon had truly appeared in the room.
“Don’t overthink it,” 073 said. “It was just opened by the servants cleaning. Don’t scare yourself.”
It's just a window; it doesn't prove anything.
Besides, the evil spirit has only just arrived at the villa, so it shouldn't act so quickly.
Even in the original storyline, that happened after the main character arrived.
Huaiyan sighed, looking somewhat worried.
But he had no evidence; he just had a vague feeling about it.
"I hope so," he said.
There isn't much homework in college. Huaiyan is a sophomore now, and when she's not in class, she doesn't even have her books with her.
Therefore, he didn't have anything to do that night, and just wandered around the bedroom.
The bedroom was full of traces of the original owner's life, but there was nothing that couldn't be seen; most of it was quite ordinary.
There were no certificates of honor or anything like that in the room, so Huaiyan guessed they were probably in other rooms.
After all, the original owner was outstanding from childhood to adulthood, and if all of them were displayed, even one room wouldn't be enough.
“I’m actually a little curious,” 073 asked, “how exactly did the original owner fall for Jiang Feng?”
After all, someone like the original owner, who was arrogant and had been involved in the world of fame and fortune since childhood, was like this.
It's a joke that someone could fall for Jiang Feng, who has nothing and is inherently suspicious.
If this were to get out, everyone would think that Jiang Feng is a toad trying to eat swan meat.
So, just how desperate must the original owner have been to agree to Jiang Feng's pursuit?
Huai Yan trembled as she recalled how the original owner treated Jiang Feng in the original story.
At school, the original owner was an unattainable beauty, a college heartthrob, aloof and unsmiling.
But in front of Jiang Feng, the original owner seemed like a completely different person.
He would not only snuggle in Jiang Feng's arms, obedient and shy, but also completely change his tone.
The original owner was like a passionate young man who plunged headlong into love, completely blinded by it.
As Huaiyan flipped through the bookshelf, he stated, "What else could it be? The protagonist's halo, of course."
The protagonist's charm lies in this.
No matter how ugly the other person is or how despicable their character is, as long as they are labeled as the "protagonist's top," they are like they have been given a cheat code.
They were liked by people of the same sex they met, and were also smitten by people of the opposite sex they met.
It sounds unbelievable, but it is indeed a universal rule across all dimensions.
"This protagonist's halo is too strong," 073 clicked his tongue. "The original owner was like someone whose intelligence had been reduced."
The original owner was a young genius; how could she possibly not discover Jiang Feng's conspiracy?
But not only did he not realize it, he also handed himself over.
In the original storyline, the original owner had slept with Jiang Feng less than two weeks after they started dating.
It was the original owner's own choice.
Huaiyan and 073 have both seen that part of the story.
In the second week after they got together, the original owner went on a date with Jiang Feng.
After watching the movie, the original owner booked a double room, wanting to share a bed with Jiang Feng.
But as soon as the original owner entered the room, Jiang Feng pounced on her.
At first, the original owner pretended to resist a few times, but as soon as Jiang Feng opened his mouth, he went limp on his own.
"...Don't think about it."
073 had obviously thought of this plot as well, and he said with a stiff face, "The original owner was just mentally retarded."
It's obvious there's something wrong with a genius boy willing to submit to someone.
As they were talking, Huaiyan took out a copy of "Circular Ruins".
But before he could open it, he heard some noise downstairs.
Huaiyan put down her book and slowly walked to the window.
He looked down through the window and saw the butler standing at the door, talking to the couple.
Huai Yan took a deep breath and turned to go downstairs.
The original owner's parents were probably not easy to deal with.
Therefore, Huaiyan had to be extremely careful to deal with the two of them.
However, as soon as Huaiyan entered the living room, he sensed an inexplicable atmosphere.
"Father," the boy said casually as he sat down on the sofa, "What brings you home today? Isn't the company busy?"
The couple also owns a house near the company, and they spend most of their time there unless something unexpected happens.
"I'm back to discuss something."
The woman smiled, handed the shopping bag to the boy, and said helplessly, "After we finish discussing it, we have to go back to the company."
Huaiyan took the paper bag, slightly surprised, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat before you leave?"
"No, thank you."
Huai's father waved his hand, dismissing the servants in the living room. "It wasn't a big deal, but your mother insisted on coming back in person."
Huaiyan smiled and asked casually, "What is it that's worth you coming all the way back?"
Mother Huai gave her son a reproachful look, but her eyes were full of satisfaction.
"We've found your brother." Huai's father's reaction was indifferent, and his narration was also bland. "We'll find some time to bring him back another day, otherwise the board of directors will cause trouble."
Huai's mother raised an eyebrow and continued, "Your father's head has been spinning from all the noise these past two days. He wasn't in a hurry to start."
The couple took turns speaking, but did not directly say the words "biological son".
These few words are probably the least valuable thing in a wealthy family.
Their tone was so flat, as if they were talking about the weather.
This allowed Huaiyan to completely relax.
The original owner's upbringing was undeniably good.
Even though things had come to this point, the couple no longer worried about blood relations.
They didn't even express it explicitly; it was as if they were just going through the motions of bringing their "younger brother" back.
"Okay." Huaiyan nodded and replied, "There are no problems here. When can we bring him back?"
Upon hearing this, Huai's father waved his hand and called over the steward who was standing nearby.
The butler bowed slightly and dutifully reported, "On the afternoon of the 26th, I will arrange his room on the first floor to avoid disturbing the young master."
Huai Yan nodded.
"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Gu." His eyes flickered slightly.
Then, the couple gave some more trivial instructions.
It was simply a way of telling Huaiyan and the housekeeper, both openly and subtly, that even if another young master came to live in the villa.
The true young master of the Huai family, and the future heir of the group, is still Huai Yan.
After seeing the couple off, Huaiyan returned to her room.
This meeting with the two wasn't entirely fruitless.
At least he figured out the couple's true attitude, which made things easier for him.
"So when do you plan to find an exorcist?" 073 asked, "Before the protagonist arrives?"
Huaiyan nodded and added, "I'll go tomorrow."
Before the evil spirits in the villa could act, Huaiyan couldn't just sit idly by.
Since this is a mystical aspect, the ghost in the villa must be a vengeful ghost.
If there are ghosts, then there must be people who specialize in exorcising them.
If we solve the problem of ghosts at its root, the mission in this dimension can be completed directly.
"But don't get your hopes up too high."
Huai Yan changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Something so simple to think of, the other five hosts couldn't possibly not have done it."
But all five of them ended up with the same fate.
This precisely illustrates that the success rate of seeking a Taoist priest to subdue evil spirits is only fifty percent.
“That’s true.” 073 sighed again and comforted her, “It’s okay, it’s alright if the mission fails.”
Since there's already an example, failure doesn't matter.
Huaiyan took out her phone, glanced at the time, walked to the wardrobe, and pulled out a nightgown.
Mission failed?
He had never thought about this question.
-
The bathroom door was gently closed.
Huai Yan tilted her head back and unbuttoned her white shirt.
His shirt slipped down, instantly exposing the boy's rounded shoulders to the air.
He trembled involuntarily and took off his shirt completely.
The boy's shoulder blades protrude slightly, creating a beautiful curve.
Further down, there's a slender, lean waist and sexy waist dimples.
The boy's body looked incredibly petite, but beneath the layers of clothing lay a graceful figure with a slender waist and long legs.
Suddenly, Huaiyan shivered.
For some reason, he had a vague feeling that the bathroom was much cooler than the bedroom.
However, Huaiyan had no time to think about it and slowly pulled down the underwear that covered her buttocks.
Huaiyan's legs are fair and straight, with well-proportioned calves, and a unique beauty when her knees are bent.
Because of the action of pulling up his underwear, he had to slightly stick out his buttocks, and almost lost his balance.
Fortunately, Huaiyan quickly regained her footing.
He heated the water in the bathtub and then slowly slid into it.
However, the bathtub seemed a bit small. Huai Yan, who is almost 1.8 meters tall, could only barely prop up his legs when sitting inside.
This action allows for a clearer view of the boy's entire body.
For some reason, Huaiyan had a strange feeling that she was being stared at by someone else.
His hair stood on end, and he was practically jumping out of the bathtub.
Just to be on the safe side, the boy turned his head and glanced around the bathroom, his heart pounding.
As expected, the boy didn't find anyone.
Am I being paranoid?
Feeling that sticky gaze again, Huaiyan frowned deeply.
Given his level of perception of sight, he would never make a mistake.
Huaiyan quickly came to a conclusion.
Someone is spying on him.
But this is the second floor. The Huai family villa has many floors, and there are bodyguards and security guards patrolling around 24 hours a day.
If someone is spying, they will be discovered immediately.
Thinking of something ominous, Huaiyan nervously swallowed.
Afterwards, Huai Yan, panting heavily, quickly finished showering and wrapped himself in a bathrobe.
He opened the bathroom door, strode into the room, and slumped onto the bed, his body limp.
He rushed out of the bathroom without even drying his hair.
Huaiyan paused for a short while.
He was about to ask 073 a question when he suddenly realized that 073 had fallen silent.
Huai Yan was filled with doubt and unease.
He wanted to shout a few more times to summon 073.
But the next second, Huaiyan suddenly opened her eyes wide and her whole body stiffened.
His ankle was slowly wrapped around by something cold.
