Chapter 14 : Exploring the Haunted House

The next day .

Fang Yi said goodbye to his parents with his luggage , got in the car that Xiao Zhang came to pick him up , and headed towards the city .

He had made up his mind to help Chen Jin 's friend look at houses today , and then go directly to Longhu Mountain .

Originally , Fang Yi thought that Chen Jin would come to introduce Mr. Zhu .

Unexpectedly , as soon as they arrived in the city , Xiao Zhang took Mr. Zhu to his car .

Mr. Zhu was a short , thin man in his sixties , but he was quite polite . He immediately shook Fang Yi 's hand enthusiastically . " Hello , Master , I 'm Zhu Licheng , a friend of Old Chen . "

Fang Yi responded politely , " Hello , Mr. Zhu . "

After a brief acquaintance , Zhu Licheng said directly , " Master , let me tell you about the situation . "

Fang Yi nodded slightly , " Yeah . "

Zhu Licheng said , " I bought that villa for a bargain in my early years , before my business got big . It's said the previous owner was a writer of supernatural novels who later died of illness . His wife , fearing the sight of the house would bring back memories , decided to sell it at a low price . Someone once told me the house was haunted , but I 'm not superstitious , so I didn't take it seriously at the time and just bought it for a bargain . "

Fang Yi listened quietly .​

Zhu Licheng continued , " When we first moved in , nothing seemed out of place . We 'd just hear noises occasionally at night , and my family and I thought it was mice or something . But then things started to change . My wife said she 'd sometimes see children playing around , but they wouldn't respond when asked and would disappear the moment we turned around . Even then , I still did n't believe in ghosts and thought it was a prank . "

Fang Yi asked , " When did you confirm it was haunted ? "

" One night a few years ago , I was busy at the company until very late . "

Zhu Licheng recalled , " My wife, daughter , and son -in-law were all asleep at the time . As you know , our area is small , and there aren't many places to eat at night . So I went home and wanted to cook something . Suddenly , a creepy female ghost with a face covered in blood appeared in the kitchen . She was floating in mid-air . I was scared to death at the time . But that was n't all . After that night , the hauntings became more and more frequent . Almost every now and then , there would be a very scary scene . One night , my family was even having dinner when blood kept pouring down the walls . It almost scared my family to death . "

He looked terrified as he said this .

It doesn't really seem like a lie .

Xiao Zhang added , " Yes , back when Mr. Zhu was still living in that villa , my boss asked me to deliver something there . I ended up running into a child . At first , I thought it was Mr. Zhu 's grandson , but when I asked , I realized it was n't . I told you about this yesterday . It was really creepy . "

" Alas , I originally wanted to sell the house , but someone spread the rumor that it was haunted , and no one is willing to take it over . " Zhu Licheng sighed and said eagerly , " If the immortal can help me exorcise the ghost , I will give you a reward of 500,000 yuan afterwards . "

Although the two spoke convincingly , they did not seem to be lying .

But Fang Yi never believed in ghosts .

Because he has seen what the " real world " is like .

" Let 's talk about whether I'll be paid or not . I'll go over and take a look at the situation first . "

Fang Yi neither refused nor agreed .​

I 'm just curious and want to find out what 's going on with Mr. Zhu's villa .

… …

After an hour's journey .

A group of three people came to the city .

Soon , the car drove into the community .

Zhu Licheng pointed to a villa in front and said , " That 's it , Master . Don't blame me for being timid . I really don't dare to go in . "

Xiao Zhang mustered up his courage and said , " I 'll go in with you , Master, to take a look . "

Fang Yi saw Xiao Zhang 's fearful look , thought for a moment , and waved his hand, saying , " No need . Give me the key . I 'll go in and see what's going on . "

Zhu Licheng quickly pulled out his keys and repeatedly warned , " Master , be careful . If you ca n't exorcise the ghost , do n't force it . At worst , I 'll just give up this house . "

" good . "

Fang Yi didn't say anything else . He took the key , got out of the car and walked towards the villa gate .

Open the door and go inside .

You know what , the room is quite luxurious .

Perhaps because no one has lived here for a long time , the furniture is covered in dust .

He did not rush to leave his body , but walked around the house .

I looked upstairs and downstairs .​

The results did not reveal any abnormalities .

Go back downstairs .

Fang Yi was just about to leave his body to see what was going on .

Suddenly , he saw a little old lady sitting on the sofa .

The little old lady is dressed a little strangely .

It is autumn now and not that cold yet , but she is wearing a flowery cotton jacket .

Fang Yi thought he had really seen a ghost , and immediately wanted to leave his body to see the true form of this ghost .

Unexpectedly, the old lady suddenly turned around and said with a smile , " Young man , this house has been uninhabited for a long time . Are you the owner ? I live next door and saw the door was open, so I came over to see if it had been robbed . "

Oh , it’s the neighbor .

Fang Yi didn't think much about it and said casually , " I 'm not the owner of this house . I just came back to get something for him . "

" As long as it 's not a thief, I'm relieved . " The little old lady stood up and walked out . " Okay , if there 's nothing else , I 'll go back first . You can continue with your work . "

Then she staggered out .​​​​

Fang Yi was stunned only after he saw her walk out .

I checked upstairs and downstairs .​

I didn't find anything strange in the house .

No problem .​

Why are you still saying it's haunted ?

He felt strange and returned his consciousness to his body .​​

Then Fang Yi returned to the car .

As soon as he got in the car , Zhu Licheng could n't wait to ask , " Master , have you found anything ? "

Fang Yi shook his head , " No. "

Zhu Licheng wondered , " That's impossible ! I actually saw a ghost with my own eyes . "

Fang Yi laughed dumbly and said , " Perhaps you 're hallucinating because of the stress from work . "

Zhu Licheng was at a loss for words and said , " If I were the only one who saw a ghost , it would be fine . My family , Xiao Zhang , and the neighbors have all experienced ghosts to varying degrees . The residents of the two villas next door even moved away because they couldn't stand it . Do you think this is just an illusion ? "

" I don't know about that ... " Fang Yi was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly felt a chill on his back . " Wait , you just said the two families next door moved away ? "

" Yes , what's wrong ? " Zhu Licheng looked at him strangely .

Fang Yi quickly recounted what had happened to the old lady in the room .

Xiao Zhang took a deep breath and said , " Boss Zhu and I were sitting in the car the whole time . We didn't see anyone come out . "

Zhu Licheng also said with horror , " Yeah , I didn't see anyone come out , and there's no one living next door , so how could there be a little old lady ? "

What ?

No one lives next door ?

And the two of them did n’t see anyone coming out of the house ?

Fang Yi felt terrified for the first time , and thought to himself , are there really ghosts in this world ?

But he really refused to believe it . After all , he had used the model built by the statue to see the real appearance of the world , and did not find any ghosts .

What's wrong with that little old lady ?

Fang Yi was still a little skeptical , " Let me go in and take another look . "

This time he had thought it through . If he couldn't see anything after leaving his body , the worst that could happen was that he would waste some more energy and use the model built by replicating the statue to check the house again .

He wanted to see what the true form of the so- called ghost was .
