Chapter 2
Lin Sheng took out a coin and handed it to Fang Qi. He signed the contract on the spot and successfully obtained the property certificate.
Fang Qi declined with a wry smile.
"Well, it's too late. I've already given you the address, but I heard that place is haunted, so I won't go there."
Lin Sheng's face turned cold, he pulled Fang Qi over and said in a tone that did not allow for refusal,
"I have to go. What if you try to trick me?"
*
Standing in front of the villa gate, Fang Qi felt embarrassed. The evening breeze blew on his back, his whole body tensed up, and his throat tightened.
Lin Sheng pulled Fang Qi over and started to question,
"Great location? Convenient transportation? This is clearly a barren place where no one would even come! Are you kidding me?"
Fang Qi's momentum weakened a lot, his words lost their original confidence, and his tone was trembling.
"At least it's fully furnished and ready for you to move in. That's half right. The owner said that even though this place is in the suburbs, the air is fresh and the feng shui is excellent! Anyone who lives here will definitely become wealthy! Otherwise, why would he go abroad? Don't you agree?"
These words hit the nail on the head for Lin Sheng.
Looking around the villa, Lin Sheng silently calculated his fortune and agreed without comment.
"The feng shui is really good."
But Lin Sheng always felt that something was not right.
Without thinking any more, Lin Sheng opened the door and took a look around the house.
It was fairly clean, with a glint of light flashing across the floor.
A gust of cold wind blew towards them from inside the door, and they immediately got goose bumps all over their bodies.
Fang Qi slipped and fell to the ground. He crawled out and said in horror,
"I...I'm going back first. You should get some rest early. If you have any problems, don't come to me or the police!"
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at his back with a puzzled look.
Turning around, Lin Sheng looked at the large wall clock in the main hall of the living room.
“Bang—”
“Bang—”
The heavy bell rang seven times in a row. After the last bell rang, the lingering sound echoed in the house, quiet and deep.
"Bang!"
The door behind him suddenly closed, and Lin Sheng was immediately surrounded by darkness.
He took out a talisman from his pocket, lit it at his fingertips, and threw it into the air. Suddenly, the wall lamps lit up one by one.
Lin Sheng followed the light up the stairs and stopped at a door. The moment he pushed the door open, the lights in the room came on brightly.
Feeling the eyes in the dark, Lin Sheng slipped in, looked around the lobby, and closed the door neatly.
He casually stuck a piece of talisman on the door handle.
After putting away my luggage, I walked into the bathroom and found that there was hot water.
After a tiring day, it’s time to take a good rest.
Halfway through the shower, the bathroom light suddenly flickered, and the shower water gradually changed color, but Lin Sheng's face remained calm.
With a "slap" sound, a bloody slap appeared on the glass door in front of him.
The liquid slowly flowed down the glass door, seeped into the bathroom through the gap in the door, and gradually approached Lin Sheng's feet.
Lin Sheng had seen this kind of trick many times in his previous life. It was just a trick to deceive the eyes. He spoke coldly.
"Little devil, why are you still not sleeping so late? This is my home now. If you make me unhappy, I will bury you under the fruit tree in the yard and use you as fertilizer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sheng's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
The hand was retracted instantly, the blood-red mark on the glass door disappeared, and the water from the shower head returned to normal color.
After washing up, Lin Sheng fell into a brief sleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door. The sound was long and short, short and long, very rhythmic.
Lin Sheng was not in a good mood. He picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table, slammed it against the door, and started cursing.
"You've become a ghost, can't you just be quiet? I'm a human, I need to sleep, if you keep knocking I'll burn you!"
There was silence outside the door, and the knocking sound disappeared at this moment.
Half an hour later, the knock on the door sounded again, but this time it was more urgent, as if the "thing" outside the door was calling for help.
Lin Sheng frowned, jumped up from the bed, and rushed to the door, but didn't have time to take in the situation clearly.
A huge mouth of the abyss opened wide and rushed towards her. The little guy at the door opened his mouth and was about to scream.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng quickly brought the little guy in, closed the door, and put up a talisman to reinforce the barrier.
The monster outside the door had no time to react and rammed its head against the door, successfully... knocking out two of its front teeth.
The little guy was still immersed in fear, so Lin Sheng tied it up and looked at it carefully.
The little guy is blue and white all over, with two horns on his head, ears drooping on both sides, and light blue amber eyes. He looks more like a sheep or a deer than a dog. He looks like a... minor? ?
Lin Sheng couldn't figure out the little guy's origin.
"Who the hell are you? And why are you in my house?"
The little guy opened his amber eyes and looked at Lin Sheng, with a hint of anxiety in his expression, and gestured in the air with his two front hooves.
Unfortunately, Lin Sheng couldn’t understand it!
“It’s a real headache to not be able to communicate due to language barriers.”
Lin Sheng held his forehead helplessly.
A roar came from outside the door, and the little guy's hair stood up immediately. He swiftly moved behind Lin Sheng, unable to help but tremble, staring at the door with wary eyes.
After a period of commotion, calm returned outside the door and the house fell into dead silence again.
"It's gone. Go to sleep."
After saying that, Lin Sheng picked up the little guy with one hand, drew a graceful arc in the air, and the little guy landed accurately on the sofa beside him.
After sleeping soundly in the second half of the night, Lin Sheng woke up and found a gadget in his hand.
The little guy slept all night long hugging her arms...
As for why he didn’t hug his thighs, it was of course because Lin Sheng didn’t sleep well.
The little guy was kicked away several times in the middle of the night...
Lin Sheng was about to tear the little guy off his hand, but he saw the little guy licking his lips and sleeping soundly.
“Gu——”
Lin Sheng's stomach made a sound, and the little guy's stomach followed suit, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The little guy rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up at Lin Sheng. His eyes were clear but seemed to be misty.
Lin Sheng just found it interesting, with a slight curl of his lips, and an idea popped up in his mind.
"You're so rare, if I sell you, wouldn't you be worth a lot of money?"
Hearing this, the little guy's eyes suddenly widened, and he shrank back tremblingly. He stepped on empty air with one paw and rolled off the bed.
Lin Sheng's eyes were full of deep meaning, and he said calmly,
"Unless...you are of some value..."
The little guy swallowed hard and nodded obediently.
Took Lin Sheng to the rooftop.
The villa has five floors in total. Lin Sheng’s room is on the second floor, and the top floor is a small attic.
Seeing this door, Lin Sheng frowned. There was a bad smell coming from inside the door - a lot of resentment.
The monster from last night suddenly appeared and blocked the door.
It was two meters tall, with a huge mouth and two empty black eye sockets, and black air emanated from its body.
As soon as he saw it, the little guy immediately dodged and hid behind Lin Sheng.
"Four-eyed monster? You like to eat eyeballs, bringing disaster to residents, forcing owners to leave, and then secretly occupying the house. It seems someone deliberately set up an array to lure you here, and they have a deep grudge against this family. I heard you also like to devour gold?"
Lin Sheng analyzed calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw out five fire talismans, and tiny flames gradually spread over the four-eyed monster, gradually devouring it.
The resentment in the door rushed out in an instant, tearing the four-eyed monster in the fire to pieces alive.
The four-eyed monster was destroyed on the spot, and a pile of gold fell out of its stomach.
Lin Sheng's eyes widened involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
After witnessing the four-eyed monster disappear, Lin Sheng stepped forward, packed all the gold in a wooden box, and hid it in the room.
I patted the little guy's head happily.
"You're still somewhat useful, so give yourself a name. Let's call you Wangcai! How about that?"
The little guy's expectant eyes suddenly froze, his facial expression twitched, and he didn't look happy.
Lin Sheng didn't care about the little guy's opinion at all and made the decision immediately.
"Okay, Wangcai, I knew you liked this name."
When Wangcai heard this name, his brain froze.
Wangcai: I didn’t say I like it!
Suddenly, a burst of resentment rushed out of the attic door and brushed past Lin Sheng's hand.
Lin Sheng instantly threw out a talisman and broke the seal on the door with one move.
The attic door creaked and slowly opened...
There was a female corpse lying in the main hall.
Lin Sheng's face turned pale, and he felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined, so he immediately called the police.
*
The police immediately set up a cordon around the villa and began to inspect the villa inside and out.
Looking around the villa, one can see that it is covered with talismans, which makes one suspicious.
"You reported the case?"
A cold and distant voice came from above Lin Sheng's head, driving away Lin Sheng's sleepiness.
A pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in Lin Sheng's sight, and he looked up following the sound.
A cold face came into view, with distinct features and deep eyes framed by a golden frame. The glass lenses reflected a cold light, revealing a sense of indifference.
Once a suit is put on, a man's almost perfect figure is fully displayed.
It’s really delicious.
This was Lin Sheng’s first impression of Xu Guannan.
Restraining the springing of passion in his heart, Lin Sheng nodded.
But I heard the other party continue to ask,
"Why do you have so many talismans? Why do you want to cover the whole room with them?"
Lin Sheng keenly caught the suspicion in Xu Guannan's words and felt displeased. The filter was broken in an instant.
"I drew it myself. I just bought this villa yesterday. I'm a little girl and I get scared at night. Can I put up a few talismans for protection?"
After taking a look at Lin Sheng, Xu Guannan obviously didn't believe her words.
"You drew this? Do you believe in those charlatan tricks? They're all lies."
Lin Sheng became even more displeased, his tone slightly angry.
"If you can't eat them, you say they're sour grapes. Officer Xu, how do you know if it works if you haven't tried it?"
Xu Guannan didn't want to waste time talking to her, so he turned the topic back to the case.
"What is your relationship with the deceased? Why did she appear in your attic?"
After understanding Xu Guannan's personality, Lin Sheng didn't want to look at him directly.
"It doesn't matter. I don't know him. I don't know him."
Xu Guannan's eyebrows were displeased, and his words became colder.
"Please adjust your attitude and think carefully before answering my questions. As the person reporting the case, you have a responsibility and obligation to cooperate with my investigation. What is your relationship with the deceased?"
Lin Sheng met his gaze with an impatient look. In the tense atmosphere, he suddenly laughed out loud and teased,
"Officer Xu, didn't you investigate before coming? I just bought the house yesterday, and this female corpse obviously died a month ago. The body stinks.
Judging from the thickness of the strangulation marks on the neck, the murder weapon should be a rough hemp rope.
But the body did not rot because someone drugged the deceased after her death to ensure that the body would not rot and wanted to keep her.
Also, did you see the black energy surrounding the female corpse? That's a forbidden spell cast by someone."
After hearing Lin Sheng's very organized analysis, Xu Guannan approached the female corpse and saw the marks of strangulation on the body. All the signs confirmed Lin Sheng's statement.
"Can you perform an autopsy?"
Lin Sheng tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and met his gaze.
"Didn't I tell you I can't? Officer Xu's eyesight isn't very good, and he can't see people clearly."
Forensic pathologist Su Qin was still stuck in traffic, and someone who could perform an autopsy was urgently needed at the scene.
Xu Guannan then lowered his stance.
"I'm sorry, I was offended just now. What else can you tell from the dead?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng was a little surprised and straightened his attitude.
"The deceased's eye sockets were bloodshot and his eye bags were protruding, suggesting he died of suffocation. However, his eyeballs were not protruding and his face showed no sign of panic, indicating that he was not strangled to death but rather died due to another cause."
Lin Sheng looked around the attic, thinking about the location of the corpse and the appearance of the four-eyed monster, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Oh no! There should be another body here!"
"Report to the captain, there is something happening in the backyard!"
