"The appearance of the supernatural shouldn't only be a modern phenomenon. It must have happened in ancient times as well …"
"When faced with supernatural incidents, the people who were once witches and gods are most likely to come into contact with them … They're similar to detectives now … they're more likely to come into contact with the supernatural!"
Chu He pushed up his glasses. "If possible, I hope to borrow some books from your family …"
"No problem."
Yue Shan led the others to the main door. He took out the key and unlocked the door.
The door opened with a creak. The sky was dark, and the inside was like a monster baring its fangs and claws.
It opened its bloody mouth, wanting to swallow all who came in!
Everyone's scalp went numb. Only Su Nuan laughed coldly.
Yue Shan led them to the main hall and introduced the place to them. "This is the main hall of my family's old house. There's a garden, library, master bedroom, guest bedroom behind it … The two sides are for the servants, and there's also the kitchen and the warehouse …"
When he mentioned the library, he unconsciously trembled as he thought of the black shadow that kept walking down from above …
"Everyone, don't separate. Let's spend the night in the main hall."
Chu He looked at the old house. "There's no electricity here. It'll be dangerous at night. Everyone, prepare as much firewood and candles as possible …"
The main hall had been uninhabited for a long time. It was covered in a thick layer of dust, but it was barely habitable after some cleaning.
They were not really here for a vacation. They had already made preparations. No one would be brave enough to sleep in this old house.
"Mm, I forgot to ask Uncle Gou Zi to send more candles …"
Yue Qin said regretfully. "After delivering dinner, we have to get him to leave as soon as possible. We can't implicate the innocent …"
"It's going to be dark soon. It's a little dangerous," Han Bingjie said gloomily.
Han Bingjie said gloomily, "But I still want to eat hot soup and rice. In ancient times, there was a final meal before the execution …"
"You can pretend to be a mute if you can't speak!"
Wu Qi complained and pointed at the package in Chu He's hands. "This thing … where should we put it?"
"The mission address is the old house … It should be anywhere."
Chu He said, "According to previous mission experience, there's a very important item in the package … It might be the key to triggering the mysterious attack!"
"But it might also hide important clues."
Yue Shan coughed. "I have an idea. Since the item was delivered here, as the old house's owner, I should have the right to open it …"
"Absolutely not! Are you trying to get us killed? "
Mu Ronghong seemed to be agitated and firmly objected, "Let's not talk about the curse of violating work procedures … If we open the package rashly, it might immediately provoke the sly to start killing people!"
As an old employee who had survived Cao Liuyu's mission, she also had some concerns.
"Brother, I know you want to find out the truth immediately, but don't put yourself in danger."
Yue Qin also expressed her opposition.
"We have five spiritual items in our hands, so we can still give it a try. But since everyone is against it, then forget it …"
Yue Shan gave up on his previous idea.
"But the person in our hands is also very likely to be targeted by the specters …"
Chu Hehe: "So … I'm going to put it in a room and install a surveillance camera."
"Many specters have the ability to interfere with signals. Why don't you send someone to guard it?"
Yue Shan questioned.
"It's very easy for a lone person to be ambushed and meet with danger, but if everyone is guarding him together, it'll be like working together to fight against the Specters …"
Chu He said, "Although we have insurance, it's not as if there aren't people who still die during a mission after using a spirit item … This decision might cause everyone to die together!"
"Then … Let's put the package in the backyard. We need to eat quickly and conserve our strength."
After everyone reached an agreement, they went to the backyard.
Looking at the garden filled with weeds and the decaying wooden building, Yue Shan couldn't help but feel very emotional.
His and his sister's gazes couldn't help but turn to the master bedroom. That was … the place where the tragedy happened!
"Let's not put it there. Let's put it in the library."
Chu He: "Yue Shan, your family has a lot of books? There's even a two-story library … "
"This was left behind by my grandfather's grandfather's generation. Actually, there aren't many books left in there …"
Yue Shan replied.
"That's a pity …"
Chu He took the package and walked in. Not long after, he came out with a few thread-bound books. "Entertainment for the night … The surveillance camera is also installed. Now, let's return to the hall and wait for the food to be delivered and the sky to turn dark … Everyone else, if you have any physiological needs, please take care of them as soon as possible."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
Yue Shan thought of some horror novels. Even though they knew there were ghosts, they still allowed people to go to narrow and blocked toilets, mirrors, doors, and other places to commit crimes. He couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Was life more important or face more important?
In any case, it was only for one night. The women had already prepared diapers. As for the men, at most, they would just have to go out for a while and face the wall with their backs to everyone.
Yes, it was a little unfair to Yue Shan and his sister. However, this old house had long been abandoned …
After the few of them had taken care of their physiological needs, the group returned to the main hall.
Chu He lit a candle and began to flip through the thread-bound books that he found in the library.
This book was very dilapidated. The words on the cover were blurred and there were even traces of worms.
After opening it, he discovered that there was a handwritten calendar inside.
He wasn't disappointed. Instead, he flipped through the pages. He was very interested in some of the notes on the dates.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The sky … gradually darkened.
The mottled candlelight illuminated the few people's shadows, making them look like monsters on the wall.
Han Bingjie stretched and rubbed his stomach. He began to count the shadows on the wall. One, two, three …
The next moment, his pupils instantly contracted. He shouted, "Su Nuan! Where's Su Nuan?! "
The others were shocked. They didn't know when, but they realized that the cold-faced girl had actually disappeared!
"Su Nuan is usually not well-liked, and she likes to stay at the edge. We actually didn't realize it until now …"
Wu Qi's voice was trembling.
"Maybe she left on her own. Or maybe … it's the Specters who started their attack and pulled her into a different space … This ability is called … Ghost Hits Wall!"
Chu He put down the book, his expression slightly solemn.
…
At this moment, Black Water Town.
Uncle Gou Zi rode a small three-wheeled motorcycle and arrived outside the Yue Clan's old house.
"Xiao Shan, Xiao Qin … I'm here to deliver food for you!"
He shouted a few times, but no one responded.
Uncle Gou Zi walked closer with a puzzled expression. Only then did he see … the big house's door was still locked. The Iron General was still there!
"Strange … they didn't come."
Uncle Gou Zi walked away in confusion. He didn't realize that the old house behind him was slightly hazy in the darkness. It was like … an illusion!
