Han Yue also encouraged her: "You try it first."
Su Xia had no choice but to agree.
She followed her intuition and selected a book from the vast bookshelf. Gu Yu, who had already seen something stuck in the middle, nodded excitedly.
“That’s it. That’s it.”
He looked at Su Xia with a gleam in his eyes: "You are so amazing, give me a photo of you and I will pin it on my Weibo to share in your happiness, Sister Xia."
Su Xia: "Get lost."
She opened it and took out something from inside the book.
There seemed to be a piece of paper sandwiched inside, which was very old and thin. Su Xia held it carefully, fearing that the paper would be torn if she used too much force.
"Ghosts with obsessions will be trapped in the place where they died day after day, and will see the tragedy that happened in their lifetime. At the same time, they don't know that they are gone from the world, and they still live a normal life as if they were human beings. Moreover, they regard themselves as human beings but cannot see human beings. Adults will stop at the year they died, while children will still grow up slowly until the day they are freed."
There is a large blank space behind.
As soon as Su Xia finished reading, Gu Yu found another newspaper from the bookshelf.
He looked at it and whispered, "Come here quickly."
Su Xia and Han Yue immediately walked over and looked where his finger was pointing.
"The horrific murder case 20 years ago made the house difficult to sell. Even after the relevant personnel repainted and renovated the house, no one dared to buy it. People who went to see the house often felt as if something was passing by them. For 20 years, this house has become a 'haunted house' that no one dared to live in."
Below is also a photo of the garden as a whole taken outside.
Su Xia's heart paused, she squinted her eyes and leaned close to read the newspaper carefully. Suddenly, her arms became a little stiff. She pointed to the window on the second floor of the house and looked up at Han Yue and Gu Yu.
"...Look, there's a face here."
This face is difficult to see and you have to look carefully to see it. It looks directly at the camera with a blank expression.
As soon as these words were uttered, even Han Yue, who was a little braver, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and his hair stood on end.
She nodded: "It seems to be true."
"It's so scary!" Gu Yu immediately hugged Han Yue's body, "I have goose bumps. Han Yue, protect me."
Han Yue was speechless: "Brother, am I not afraid?"
She frowned and continued, "So all of us are ghosts, obsessed ghosts trapped here, right?"
Su Xia nodded: "Yes, from the beginning, we are all ghosts."
However, they don’t remember and still think they are human and live according to human’s trajectory.
No wonder you see vases disappear and reappear, and books on the bookshelf being taken down and put back.
It was because twenty years later, someone came to see the house. The ghosts living there could not see humans at all, so when the positions of the objects and furnishings were changed, they felt scared and weird.
In fact, the ones who should feel scared and weird are the people they can't see.
Su Xia continued, "So, we are indeed related to those corpses."
She took out the family photo from her pocket and said, "The pattern on Sister Siying's and the hostess's clothes is exactly the same, so Sister Siying is the hostess."
"We and Wei Sihao are the four kids in the basement. We have been growing up, so now, 20 years later, we are 29 years old, but our specific identities have not yet been determined."
"And," Su Xia narrowed her eyes slightly, "Brother Baichuan and Brother Chen Wei. One of them is the male owner, and the other is the culprit, but it still cannot be confirmed."
Han Yue nodded: "Our obsession may be the obsession of being killed, so today we have to find out who killed us? Then we can get rid of the obsession and escape."
"But now I don't know whether Brother Chen Wei has been eliminated or is lurking in the dark and secretly observing us." Gu Yu frowned, "Should we find the final escape exit first?"
"Let's go." Su Xia was the first to walk out of the study.
She paused, as if she suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute."
Su Xia returned to the study room, picked up the thin piece of paper that was about to break, and looked carefully at the blank space below. She stood on tiptoe and placed the paper on the hot light bulb. After a while, words finally appeared on it.
"The ghost with the heaviest evil spirit will eventually realize all of this first, remember what it did in its previous life, and start to kill again. The souls that are persecuted will have no chance of reincarnation and will disappear here in ashes. There is no way to seal this ghost, but as long as a soul escapes successfully, all the resentment and evil spirit will be eliminated, and they will be freed in the end."
Gu Yu began to get anxious: "Then let's quickly find an escape route!"
Su Xia also agreed. The three of them ran downstairs, subconsciously thinking that since it was the exit, it must be at the gate. However, when they got there, they found that it was not there at all.
Han Yue said, "Is it in the cellar? There are piles of dirt next to the hostess and the little girl, which means they want to dig out from there. That might be the final exit for escape."
Gu Yu was in a hurry, feeling the urgency of time and the approaching danger: "Let's go, we'll know after we go and take a look."
The two small piles of earth were particularly obvious there. Su Xia leaned his head over to look over there, and reached out to touch the deepest part of the excavation. It felt like iron.
She quickly said, "It's right here, dig it up first."
The three men dug up all the soil that the hostess had not dug up, and finally saw an iron door. However, the difference was that there were seven grooves on the iron door in various shapes, which were also the final key to open the iron door.
Su Xia pursed her lips and said, "I think Brother Chen Wei should have been eliminated a long time ago."
Han Yue nodded: "Yes."
Su Xia continued, "The one with the heaviest evil spirit is the one who killed the most people, that is, the male owner. It is most likely Brother Baichuan, and Wei Sihao and Sister Siying who acted with him may have been eliminated by him."
She raised her eyebrows: "Before you came in here, did the director give you a box?"
The two of them nodded in unison: "Yes! You have it too!"
"Seven people and seven boxes," Su Xia walked upstairs, "there is the final key to escape."
