Luo Kang, Chen Zhiyu, and Zhuge Yun came to No. 162 Racecourse Road when it was dark.
It is a three-storey European-style building, with white walls inlaid with dilapidated brushed metal windows, and two round skylights on the sloping roof, like the eyes of an owl in the moonlight, watching everyone who enters the courtyard. On the railing of the porch are many clay pots, but the plants in the pots have long since withered. In the middle of the portico, two white Roman columns support the balcony on the second floor, and below the balcony, a wooden door is ajar, and through the crack in the door, the house is dark and dark.
"The water, electricity and gas in this house are all good, because no one has lived in it, the owner of the house has turned off the sluice, and the electricity and gas can be restored as long as the bill is paid. Come on in! Zhuge Yun walked in front with a high-brightness flashlight and said to Luo Kang and Chen Zhiyu.
"Big brother, aren't you afraid? This is a murderous house! Chen Zhiyu said, trying to hold Zhuge Yun and not let him enter the door, but he was a step too slow.
Zhuge Yun pushed open the door and used a flashlight to illuminate every corner of the room in a loop, and Luo Kang and Chen Zhiyu looked at the house carefully under his guidance.
The living room of the house is very spacious, with a ceiling height of more than 5 meters, and the two skylights also serve this hall. The carpet on the floor, although there is already a thick layer of dust on it, is still very bright, and it looks like a high-end product. The decoration and furnishings are all in the style of the nineties of the last century, and it is not surprising. The hall is flanked by corridors that lead to the rooms on the first floor, with a wide staircase in the middle that leads to the rooms on the second floor. On the walls on both sides of the staircase are many picture frames, including figure paintings and landscape paintings, but because of the light, the view is not clear.
"The old objects in this hall are this carpet and these paintings, and before the current owner left, he liked these things very much, so he has kept them, and they have a history of nearly 70 years, which is very valuable. Come, let's take a look at the room on the first floor. ”
Luo Kang and Chen Zhiyu followed Zhuge Yun to look at each room one by one, there is a bathroom and kitchen in the corridor on both sides, and the direction to the sun is the guest room, there are four rooms in total, and the end of the corridor leads to the side door in the courtyard, and the overall decoration style is the same as the living room.
"Boss, the decoration of this house is too outdated, and we can't live in it at all, or let's take a look at other houses." Chen Zhiyu was desperate to leave, and looked around uneasily.
"It's not the first time you've seen the hell, why are you scared like this!" Luo Kang said to Chen Zhiyu easily.
"This environment reminds me of "The Grudge", it's not the ghost that scares me, but the process before seeing the ghost." Chen Zhiyu also said softly to Luo Kang.
"It will definitely cost money to renovate, but the structure of this house is stable, and there is no mold and moisture on the floor and walls, so you can save a lot of money on dealing with this problem." Zhuge Yun patiently introduced.
"Let's take a look on the second floor! Above are the master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms. After Zhuge Yun finished speaking, the three of them walked side by side towards the stairs.
Zhuge Yun had just stepped on the first staircase when he suddenly stopped, Luo Kang and Chen Zhiyu didn't notice that Zhuge Yun had stopped and continued to walk up.
Zhuge Yun frowned at this time, anxious, and then took out a mini compass from his pocket and looked at it with a flashlight.
"Why don't you leave?" Luo Kang and Chen Zhiyu had no lighting and couldn't see the stairs, so they had to stop, only to find that Zhuge Yun was still under the stairs.
"Not good! Come on! Zhuge Yun suddenly shouted, then turned around and ran.
Chen Zhiyu has always been very nervous, and when he heard Zhuge Yun's words, he reacted quickly, and stepped down more than a dozen steps in two steps, chasing Zhuge Yun with a rolling belt.
Luo Kang was overwhelmed by what happened suddenly, he froze in place, and just wanted to go downstairs, Chen Zhiyu and Zhuge Yun had already run out of the gate to the courtyard.
"Boss, come out quickly!" Chen Zhiyu shouted at Luo Kang.
But as soon as the words fell, the door of the house suddenly closed automatically, and Chen Zhiyu immediately stepped forward and pulled the door, but no matter how hard he used to eat, the door did not move at all.
"Big brother, come and help, what are you doing?" Chen Zhiyu tried to open the door while shouting at Zhuge Yun.
And Zhuge Yun still looked at the compass in his hand intently, and after a while, he took out three copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground.
"Don't waste your efforts, you can't open that door!" Zhuge Yun said to Chen Zhiyu.
"The ghost in this house is so powerful, you don't say it, what do you say about it now?" Chen Zhiyu stopped and questioned Zhuge Yun.
"Tell me, who the hell are you? What is your name? Zhuge Yun asked Chen Zhiyu rhetorically.
"We are car repairers, my name is Chen Zhiyu, and my boss's name is Luo Kang! What's going on? Chen Zhiyu said.
Zhuge Yun suddenly laughed: "Okay, good! It's okay, this house is yours, you and I can go sleep in the car! The dawn is your own! ”
