Chapter 8: In the Attic

There was no movement outside the door.

Is she really gone?

Lin Chu was not very sure.

So he gently pushed open a crack in the door, peeked out, and saw nothing.

It seems that she is really gone.

Lin Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

But I can't figure it out, why doesn't the female ghost chase this attic?

He picked up the flashlight and looked around curiously.

This cramped loft is less than ten square meters, and there is nothing in it.

After all, such a large villa, there are few people living in it throughout the year, so naturally there is no sundries to pile up in the attic.

There is a window in the south-facing wall.

No glazing is installed.

It's only as big as a plate.

You can't even stick a person's head out.

It seems to be reserved for pigeons.

There is no hope of escaping on it.

Besides, this is the third floor, and it is stormy outside, even if you turn out, if you don't pay attention to slipping your hands and feet, you may become a Buddha on the ground.

Lin Chu's flashlight was withdrawn, and suddenly the light hit the wooden door in front of him.

At that moment, he was stunned.

If you say that you saw a female ghost before, it was an extreme visual impact.

Then seeing behind this door now is a kind of spiritual shock.

Fear that comes from the heart is often more persistent, long-lasting, and hopeless than visual fear......

Just like Lin Chu at this moment.

Behind the wooden door of the attic were bloody marks from fingernails.

The deep and shallow scratches on the door, black scabbed blood, soaked deep into the wood.

Flesh and cracked bloody nails, remaining on top.

Lin Chu now finally understood why the hands of the female ghost outside looked like that.

Staring at this wooden door, Lin Chu felt an inexplicable pressure.

It seems that even breathing has become suppressed.

He seemed to see a woman locked up in this attic, and in order to escape, she kept scratching the door with her hands, even scratching her fingers and even scratching her nails......

But the woman died in the end.

That's why he became a ghost.

What a desperate ......

Who is that woman?

Why was she locked up in the attic?

And who killed her?

More and more questions are coming to mind.

Lin Chu felt more and more pressure, and it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe......

Wait a minute!

What's all about this feeling of pressure?

Lin Chu now finally began to realize that this pressure seemed a little too real.

With a slight tremor in his hand, he picked up the gossip bronze mirror and raised it to his chest, finally understanding why he felt more and more pressured.

It wasn't an illusion, but because the female ghost had been lying quietly on his back......

When the female ghost saw that Lin Chu had discovered herself, she immediately strangled Lin Chu with both hands on her neck, and Lin Chu suddenly lost her breath, and the flashlight and gossip bronze mirror in her hand fell to the ground.

As soon as the flashlight hit the ground, it shattered, and the entire attic was plunged into total darkness.

In the darkness, Lin Chu was enduring intense suffocation pain, struggling on the edge of life and death.

Seeing that most of his body had already stepped into the dead side, suddenly a lightning bolt lit up outside the house.

The electric light passed through the pigeon window into the attic, and shone right on the bronze mirror of Bagua on the ground.

The Bagua Bronze Mirror absorbed the light of thunder and lightning, reflecting an even more dazzling white light.

The female ghost immediately let go of Lin Chu's neck and fled without a trace.

Lin Chu sat on the ground panting heavily.

He didn't expect that it was this gossip bronze mirror that had never come in handy before that saved his life.

It turned out that the female ghost was afraid of the light of thunder and lightning reflected by the gossip bronze mirror.

Lin Chu was very sure that only the light of thunder and lightning had an effect, and ordinary light could not.

Because he was holding a flashlight in one hand and a gossip bronze mirror in the other, he was still chased by female ghosts and ran all over the house.

After taking a few breaths, Lin Chu picked up the gossip bronze mirror and quickly left the attic.

The female ghost doesn't know when it will appear, and the only way to escape is now.

Lin Chu had just run to the first floor, and the lights in the living room suddenly turned on.

The door was slowly opened at this time.

Zhang Qiang walked into the hallway from outside the house, still carrying a meal basket in his hand.

When he saw Lin Chu sweating profusely, he was taken aback and said, "Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Chu asked rhetorically, "How did you get in?" ”

Zhang Qiang said: "I cooked a bowl of noodles and wanted to bring it to you. But the doorbell that has been pressed outside the door for a long time, Mr. Lin, you didn't answer, I was a little worried, so I opened the door with the key and came in. ”

Lin Chu was shocked: "Ring the doorbell? Didn't the villa have a power outage just now? ”

Zhang Qiang said confusedly: "There is no power outage, isn't the light in your house always on?" ”

Lin Chu gasped.

If the villa has not had a power outage all the time.

What happened in the house just now, was it just my own hallucination?

If it's really an illusion, it's a little too real......

"Brother Zhang, come into the house and sit, I have some questions for you."

"Huh. Good. ”

Zhang Qiang entered the room, took out the hot noodles from the basket and put them on the table, and said, "Mr. Lin, you can eat it while it's hot, if this noodles are soaked for a long time, it won't taste good." ”

"Put it there first, I'm not hungry yet."

Lin Chu was still in the mood to eat noodles now, and asked straight to the point: "You have been managing this villa for five years, you can tell me the truth, is this villa not clean?" ”

"This ...... What's so unclean about this, I clean it every few days. ”

Zhang Qiang was very weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Chu when he spoke, obviously he had heard what Lin Chu wanted to ask, but he deliberately pretended not to understand.

"When I say unclean, I don't mean unclean, but by haunted!"

Lin Chu said the last two words solemnly, and Zhang Qiang immediately trembled.

This reaction shows that he is an insider.

So Lin Chu was determined to break through from him.

Only by knowing what happened in this villa, and only by figuring out what was going on with the female ghost chasing after him, could it be possible to find clues to treat Miss Chu.

Seeing that Zhang Qiang still didn't speak, Lin Chu threw out a temptation condition: "Brother Zhang, you have been alone in this deep mountain for five years, right?" Don't you want to go back to the city? ”

"Mr. Lin, can you let me go back?" Sure enough, Zhang Qiang's gaze became hot.

"This kind of trivial matter, I can just say hello to the housekeeper, and I can also give you a promotion and a salary increase, and you will never have to do other people's work in the future."

Lin Chu was not writing empty checks, he knew that as long as he could cure Miss Chu, these would be a piece of cake, but if he couldn't save Miss Chu, then he would be in big trouble.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin! Thank you Mr. Lin! Zhang Qiang was very excited, so he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Chu.

Lin Chu took the opportunity to put forward his own conditions: "But I only have one request, that is, you must tell me, is there anything unclean in this villa?" ”

Zhang Qiang's face suddenly sank.

He thought for a long time before he finally spoke slowly: "Mr. Lin, do you remember that I told you before that this mansion was a bankrupt businessman who arrived at the Chu family?" ”

Lin Chu was surprised: "Could it be related to that businessman?" ”

Zhang Qiang said with fear on his face: "I heard a rumor that this villa was built by the merchant for his mistress, and his mistress is ...... He died of illness in this house! ”

Lin Chu was secretly taken aback, could it be that the female ghost just now was the businessman's dead mistress?

But where does she look like she is dying of illness?

It's like being abused to death!

Rumble!

Another thunderclap exploded outside the window.

The lights in the living room gradually dimmed and then brightened.

Lin Chu raised his head, looking at the chandelier that was bright and dark, and prayed in his heart, don't put it out, don't put it out......

But the chandelier overhead was getting dimmer and couldn't go back.

In the end, it was completely extinguished.

The living room was plunged into darkness again.

Lin Chu unconsciously clenched the gossip bronze mirror in his hand.

"Mr. Lin, it should just trip, you wait a minute, I'll get it right now."

Zhang Qiang's voice also became nervous, he stood up and took out his mobile phone by the faint light, and wanted to walk to the electric switch located in the kitchen.

At this moment, another flash of lightning struck outside the house, and a bright electric light entered the room, forming a shadow on the white wall opposite.

One

Two

Three!

There are a total of three shadows on the wall.

In the middle of Lin Chu and Zhang Qiang's shadows, there is also the shadow of a long-haired woman......
