Chapter 178 Could they be a ghost couple?
Before he could lift his foot, Wang Daguo fell hard on the threshold.
"Help!" Wang Daguo cried out in terror as he lay on the ground, looking back tremblingly, afraid that a ghost was chasing after him.
Hearing the commotion, the neighbors immediately ran out, some throwing on their clothes without even having time to put them on properly.
"What's wrong?" The neighborhood committee auntie shone a flashlight on Wang Daguo, who was lying on the ground.
Seeing his pale face and sweaty cheeks, she asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Everyone was filled with unease. Could it be some kind of criminal? They all cautiously looked into the courtyard.
Then Wang Daguo spoke up in a trembling voice, "There are ghosts! The couple who rented my house are ghosts!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Don't spread feudal superstitions here!" The neighborhood committee auntie gave Wang Daguo a disdainful look and said, "Have you gone mad from drinking so much? I've seen that couple before."
“Yes, I took them to the neighborhood committee.” The older woman next to her nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, everyone scoffed.
Seeing that no one believed him, Wang Daguo stood up from the ground in a panic and fear, saying, "I'm telling you, everything I said is true!"
"They didn't light any lamps, didn't eat, and didn't drink any water! The room was covered in dust; it didn't look like a human dwelling at all! And the main point is..."
He swallowed hard, lowered his voice, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
"The key point is that I watched them go into the house and never came out again, but there was no one inside!"
People looked at each other, and someone instinctively said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"How could that be?" Wang Daguo raised his voice. "Even if I'm drunk and confused, I'm not blind! Believe me, they're not human!"
Although Wang Daguo has character flaws, as he said, he's not blind.
Moreover, several people had hanged themselves in this house before. Hearing Wang Daguo say this, the group of people felt a chill run down their spines.
"What's going on?" A voice suddenly came from the courtyard, startling everyone who turned to look.
Liu Nian and Su Xu opened the door and looked at them with puzzled expressions.
"You—" Wang Daguo gasped, "came out of the house?"
Liu Nian nodded. "Yes? Is there anything wrong with me being in my rented apartment?"
She and Su looked at everyone and asked, "What's going on in the middle of the night?"
The neighborhood committee auntie sighed, glared at Wang Daguo, and said, "The couple is right at home. You insist there's no one there. I think you've been drinking so much you're not thinking straight!"
"You even claim to be a ghost!" The man patted his chest. "You make it sound so convincing, it's kind of scary."
"Why are you saying that about us?" Liu Nian feigned grievance. "We were just sleeping in the room, and we don't know why people are calling us ghosts."
Wang Daguo almost couldn't catch his breath. He gasped for air and said, "I clearly checked your room just now, and there was no one there! Nothing at all. You don't eat, drink, or use the toilet. Are you even human?"
Let's see what they say? Wang Daguo watched the people standing not far away warily, yet also worried that they wouldn't be able to explain themselves clearly. They were really something else...
Caught in this internal conflict, he ignored the increasingly dark expression on the man's face.
