Chapter 512: Haunted House
However, no matter who was on the other end of the phone, he must be someone familiar to him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be called after kidnapping Zhao Xuanlang.
She called Zhao Xuanlang several times, but his phone was always turned off. It seemed like something had really happened. After all, Zhao Xuanlang called her "Boss," so she really couldn't just stand by and watch him die!
After thinking about it, Zhong Nianyao called Lu Yichen. She didn't know what Lu Yichen was doing, as he hadn't answered her call. She left a message and got in a taxi, heading to the place the man had mentioned.
In just a few moments, the taxi arrived at a desolate-looking house in the suburbs.
But from the outside, you can see that the house is very dilapidated, the outer walls are a bit mottled, the window glass is broken, and the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds.
You can tell at a glance that this is a place that no one has lived in for a long time.
Moreover, she also vaguely sensed a faint gloomy aura from the house, which must have been a tragic incident. Places like this are most likely to attract ghosts, which is what people often call a haunted house.
The driver looked at Zhong Nianyao's destination, and even his voice trembled. "Little...little girl, you...you come to a place like this, what are you doing...what are you doing?"
After he finished speaking, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he couldn't help swallowing.
"Uncle driver, why do you look so scared?" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "It's not that scary here!"
"Little girl, don't you know? This is a famous haunted house!" The driver almost wanted to drive away immediately. "It's said that a happy family of three once lived here, but one night, several robbers broke in, assaulted the woman and her daughter, and later tortured all three of them to death. The level of horrific treatment was so severe that even veteran detectives who had been investigating the case for years found it cruel."
"However, the police quickly apprehended the robbers. Then, something strange happened. The robbers were all taken to the police station. However, they ended up dying in this house for no apparent reason. The tragedy was even more horrific than that previous murder. Their bodies were completely dismembered, with body parts scattered throughout the house. Even the police couldn't recover all the body parts."
The driver lowered his voice when he said this. "Many people are saying that the deaths of those robbers were most likely the revenge of the ghost of the owner of this house. After that, this house became a famous haunted house."
"Maybe it's just a rumor." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head, "I just made an appointment with a friend to come here for an adventure today."
"What?"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, the driver was completely frightened and quickly began to persuade her, "Little girl, you are so young, why don't you play something else? Why do you have to play a haunted house adventure? This is not just a rumor, it's a real haunted house!"
"You know what? Before, there were several groups of people as brave as you who wanted to explore the haunted house. Do you know what happened?"
"What happened?" Zhong Nian Yao followed up the driver's question.
"All those explorers died tragically," the driver said earnestly. "So, young ladies, young people, you should cherish your lives!"
Seeing that the driver was about to continue preaching, Zhong Nianyao immediately spoke up, "Driver, I think you are right, so I decided not to go on any haunted house adventure."
"That's great that you think so." After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, the driver nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll take you back now! A place like this has too much yin energy, it's not advisable to stay here!"
"No."
Zhong Nianyao shook her head, and before the driver could say anything, she immediately spoke, "Driver, my friends and I have agreed to wait here. If they don't see me when they arrive, they'll be worried. You go first! I'll wait for them to arrive and then we'll leave together."
"Let me wait with you!"
Although the driver also wanted to leave this hellhole as soon as possible, he felt it was dangerous when he thought about Zhong Nianyao, a little girl waiting here alone.
"No need." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "My friends will be here soon. They are all driving here. They will take me back with them."
"But--"
The driver was genuinely worried when he saw Zhong Nianyao, a weak little girl. Not only was this place so close to the haunted house, but it was also in the middle of nowhere. If something really happened, he would be haunted for the rest of his life.
As if she could see the driver's worry, Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "Driver, don't look at my small arms and legs. I'm a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo! Moreover, I've been learning Sanda recently. Forget about anything else, three or five burly guys are no match for me."
When the driver looked at Zhong Nian Yao, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
However, in the end he still believed what Zhong Nian Yao said. After all, no young girl would joke about her own safety.
Soon, the driver turned around and went back.
Without him noticing, Zhong Nianyao made a handprint with her right hand and headed towards the taxi. Immediately, the taxi flashed a faint white light and disappeared in an instant.
The driver, who was still driving, seemed to feel something strange, but when he looked out the window, he felt nothing was wrong.
It was just a simple exorcism spell.
This place is too close to the haunted house, and the driver stayed here for too long, so it's easy for him to be contaminated by some negative energy. Although his life is not in danger, he might be in trouble in the next few days.
What she did was to dispel these negative energies.
Although the driver was a bit nagging, he was actually a very warm-hearted person. Furthermore, a faint golden light lingered around him, indicating that he was a person of great merit.
She will always be more kind to such kind people.
After the taxi completely disappeared from sight, Zhong Nian Yao turned around and walked towards the haunted house.
Pushing open the door that looked not very sturdy, a creaking sound was heard, which seemed particularly harsh in this gloomy house.
