Chapter 0066: Blogger of Strange News
Both of them died in their own homes in very strange ways, at night.
Although it is still unclear how the two men died, judging from the information we have obtained, there should be something quite suspicious.
I asked Wang Ruoyu if he had any information about those two people.
Zhu Xiaomei handed me the notebook on the table, which contained detailed information of Zhang Xun and four other people.
When I saw the son of the fur shop owner named Zheng, I suddenly remembered that this man was the young man whose invitation I snatched that night.
Everyone who attended the One Hundred Demons Night Banquet that night wore masks. I didn’t have time to pay attention to these people at the time, but among the four people who died, two had been to the mansion . Is this just a coincidence?
This is unlikely to be a coincidence!
At this time, Zhu Xiaomei raised her cell phone at the two of us and asked us if we had seen the little stone.
Wang Ruoyu and I were confused as to what the small and big stones were. Zhu Xiaomei put her phone on the table and asked us to take a look.
When we leaned over to take a look, we found out that the "Little Stone" she was talking about was a very famous blogger of strange stories who specialized in writing about weird things on her blog and had quite a lot of fans.
Zhu Xiaomei started following this blogger because of the strange things that happened to her brother.
Just ten minutes ago, he posted a blog post titled "Thrilling Mansion Tour, Long Night of Murder."
I originally thought that this person was just following the trend to write novels and mountain mansions, adding some exaggerated speculations to attract attention, but after reading them carefully, I found out that I was wrong.
At the beginning of his blog post, this little stone got straight to the point and said that in his city, four people died in four days. Their surnames were Xu, Zhang, Meng and Zheng.
He did not elaborate on the origins and backgrounds of these four people, but their surnames alone matched those of the four deceased Zhang Xuns.
Wang Ruoyu and I both became serious.
The little stone went on to write that the deaths of these four people were quite bizarre, but they all had several things in common:
First, when these four people died, there was no sound.
Second, the fatal injuries were all caused by stabbing the throat oneself.
Third, there was no blood on or around the body after death, and surprisingly, most of the blood in the body was gone.
Fourth, these four people had gone to the mansion at the foot of Owayama a few days ago to attend the Banquet of a Hundred Demons.
The more I read, the more surprised I was. Although I didn't see with my own eyes how the other three died, at least from what Xu Shao said, almost everything this guy said was correct.
Then Xiao Shitou said, it is obvious that the deaths of these four people are related to the Xiaoheshan mansion, so let’s call it the “mansion blood curse” for now.
He also warned that anyone who had been to the mansion would not be able to escape the shadow of the murderous blood curse, and asked everyone to be careful.
As soon as this blog post was published, the number of comments below it increased rapidly. Some people thought that the blogger was just talking nonsense to attract traffic, but a group of die-hard fans firmly stood on the blogger's side, believing that the blogger must have some evidence.
The two sides argued endlessly.
I looked through some of this blogger's previous articles and found that he is very knowledgeable and has his own unique insights into all kinds of strange stories.
The writing is simple and easy to understand, yet quite professional.
I suspect that the other party is probably also an insider.
The information on this person's blog is very simple. It is impossible to tell whether the other person is a man or a woman, or how old he is. But judging from the tone of this blog post, he should also live in Jiangcheng.
About an hour later, this little stone updated another blog post.
This blog post is still a reminder that people who have been to the Xiaoheshan mansion should be aware of the situation themselves. As far as he knows, some people have already hired Feng Shui masters to guard their homes, some have hidden in Puji Temple, and some have taken refuge in Fuxing Temple. As for the rest, it is better for them to find ways to save themselves as soon as possible.
The Puji Temple and Fuxing Temple are famous temples and Taoist temples in Jiangcheng respectively, with a very long history.
I have been in Jiangcheng for a short time and am not very familiar with these two places. However, places like these that have been passed down from generation to generation should have masters among them. If someone runs to these two places to avoid disaster, it would be a good choice.
"Little charlatan, from today on you are responsible for protecting Xiaomei and me. You decide how much it will cost!" Wang Ruoyu suddenly said.
I was slightly stunned, then I understood.
In fact, both Wang Ruo and Zhu Xiaomei have been to the mansion, and of course I was one of them, but they didn't know it.
I think the tragic deaths of Zhang Xun and the other four must have frightened Miss Wang.
"Forget about the money. How about you consider a suggestion of mine?" I said.
"What?"
"Be more patient and don't quarrel with your family."
Wang Ruoyu got angry when he heard this. "Well, you little charlatan, are you here to lobby for me? How much money did you receive from the Wang family?"
I asked her, "Do you really want to sever ties with the Wang family?"
Wang Ruoyu's face was cold, "Is this true? I can't stay in this house any longer!"
"Can you really bear to watch your nephews and nieces die or get sick?"
Wang Ruoyu was stunned, his eyes filled with sorrow, "What can I do? This is all the fault of the Wang family!"
In fact, although this young lady spoke so decisively, people are all made of flesh and blood. How could anyone remain indifferent while watching their family members suffering from illness?
"The Five Ghosts' Fortune-Bringing Technique is indeed extremely detrimental to one's virtue, but there are ways to make up for it," I added.
"Really? How do I make up for it?" Wang Ruoyu's eyes widened.
"It's very simple. Just give the money away to do good deeds. So if you can take over all the Wang family's businesses, manage them properly, and then give away most of the money you earn, you might be able to keep the Wang family's incense burning."
"You're not lying to me?" Wang Ruoyu stared at me.
I spread my hands and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but if you don't take over, the Wang family probably won't last half a year."
Zhu Xiaomei advised: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Chen will definitely not say anything nonsense."
Wang Ruoyu was silent for a while, then took out his cell phone and made a call.
"I can promise not to leave the Wang family, but all the Wang family businesses must be handed over to me to manage, and I must have the final say on all matters!"
Judging from her tone, she should have called her father Wang Shounian.
"Well, I'll tell you the details when I get back." Wang Ruoyu hung up the phone and said to me, "I've done it, what about you?"
"Okay, I'll take your job." I kept my promise.
Things like personal bodyguards are called "law protection" in our industry, and it is a common occurrence.
I originally wanted to get a room next to theirs, but when Wang Ruoyu heard this, she said angrily, "You're still living next door! Are you sleeping like a pig again like last time, and you can't even be woken up by thunder?"
So, the three of them lived in one room as before.
