Chapter Forty-Eight: The Hidden Undercurrent
"How was this letter discovered?" Ye Yu held the letter paper and looked up at Qian Yunneng.
"It was placed on Team Zhou's desk one morning." Qian Yunneng pointed to the table on the side and gestured to Ye Yu. "At the time, we all thought it was someone's prank, so we didn't care, after all, the previous owner of the house had long since passed away. It wasn't until Jiang Xin and Li Yuchen had accidents one after another that we felt that something was wrong......"
"'Break your heart', 'Eat your soul'...... Heart disease, stupidity...... Isn't that exactly what the letter says? Ye Yu was stunned.
"Yes, so many people in the team said that the letter was sent from the underworld by the former owner here, and his ghost is still in this house, and we also see our construction team as the people who have usurped his property, and they want to seek revenge on us." Although Qian Yunneng recounted calmly, his flickering eyes still betrayed the fear in his heart.
"Have you told the police about this?"
"Nope. The previous two incidents were accidents, and even if we told the police about the letter, it would not help, and it might also attract the media to add fuel and vinegar and affect our work, so no one was allowed to say what Team Zhou meant. ”
"But then you stopped working for the time being......"
"After all, two people in the team had an accident in a row, and rumors of haunting also spread, and the upper authorities were forced to temporarily suspend work for a few days, but seeing that the construction period was urgent, they ordered us to start work tomorrow."
"And then immediately receive a warning letter...... It feels like I'm eyeing you. Ye Yu held his chin and analyzed. Personally, I don't think it's a ghost, someone must have done this because they didn't want you to get to work......"
"Hmph, someone must have deliberately made trouble!" Zhou Hao slapped his fist on the table, his eyes swept over Chen Tao intentionally or unintentionally, the latter smiled as always, but this smile had other meanings in Zhou Hao's eyes.
"Well, don't get excited." Liang Yunxiao smiled and waved his hand and said, "I have a general understanding of the matter, since your boss invited me to take a look at the feng shui here, it is not too late for you to draw conclusions after I finish my inspection." ”
Zhou Hao's face showed faint disdain, it seemed that he didn't seem to believe in any feng shui, but because of the face above, he could only follow Liang Yunxiao's meaning.
"Okay, then ask Master Liang for help and guidance first, and then wait for you to finish your rounds. Reporter Ye, why don't you also go shopping together, so that you can collect some photo materials. Zhou Hao asked Ye Yu.
Ye Yu nodded, he originally had this intention, so he got up and walked out of the room with Liang Yunxiao.
"The others will go back to the room to clean up first, and start work as usual tomorrow!" Zhou Hao looked at the people around him and ordered.
"Huh? Do you still want to start work? That precautionary letter ......".
"Shut up!" Xu Yanwei in the corner just muttered a few words, and was instantly interrupted by Zhou Hao's angry reprimand. "If you're afraid, get out now! Tell me to beat you up again! ”
Xu Yanwei's body trembled, and he was immediately silenced, in his eyes, Zhou Hao was much more terrifying than a ghost.
The others did not dare to have any objections, and bowed their heads and dispersed. Zhou Hao glanced at the empty office expressionlessly, and locked the door with a "bang".
-------------------
Ye Yu went downstairs and looked around in the hall on the ground floor.
I didn't pay attention to it in a hurry when I entered the door before, but now that I looked closely, Ye Yu couldn't help but be shocked by the gorgeous decoration inside. The decoration style of the whole villa refers to the style of the Western court, the age can not hide its delicacy and atmosphere, the whole house is not only very elegant in architectural style, the interior is also a fine product, the wall copy of Michelangelo's "Genesis" part of the mural is particularly eye-catching, it seems that the former owner here is more favored Western culture.
It's just that the room is a little empty because most of the furniture items have been removed, and in the dim light, the portraits of the people on the murals seem to be silently watching the comers, and the strange feeling makes Ye Yu faintly suffocated.
"Do you think these paintings have a 'soul'?"
Ye Yu's sudden words really startled him, and he turned around to find that Liang Yunxiao was standing beside him at some point, staring intently at the mural.
"Soul...... Ye Yu cast his gaze on the mural. As long as it is a work drawn by a person, no matter how the technique is expressed, the artist's personal emotional imprint will always be revealed to a greater or lesser extent, and I think this is the 'soul' of the painting. Although these murals are not delicate in terms of technique, it can be seen that someone painted them with care, and from this point of view, it has a 'soul'. ”
"Hehe, it seems that you know a lot about art, so do you know what the 'soul' of human beings is in the ordinary sense?" Liang Yunxiao looked at Ye Yu with some amusement.
"Hmm...... Maybe it's a collection of thoughts and memories? Ye Yu's mind suddenly appeared the conversation between Wu Xuebing and himself.
"And what is the essence of thinking and memory?"
"Essential......? I don't understand. Ye Yu was puzzled.
"People produce memories and thoughts through the activities of neurons in the brain, and these brain waves are all 'energy', so the essence of the so-called 'soul' is actually a kind of 'energy'." Liang Yunxiao began to gush.
"Everything in this world is the product of the transformation of 'energy', and in this sense, 'everything has a spirit', but this 'spirit' has 'good spirit' and 'evil spirit' because of the positive and negative energy of its energy."
Ye Yu was a little confused, but continued to listen.
"In an environment where the 'righteous spirit' has the upper hand, people can be happy and act smoothly, otherwise, everything will not go well, and even affect people's normal behavior, and what people often call 'evil spirits' is actually the result of people being swallowed up by negative energy. A capable Feng Shui master deduces good fortune by observing the positive and negative aspects of the 'soul' energy of things in the environment. ”
"Then how do you observe the positive and negative of the 'soul' energy?" Ye Yu asked.
"It's very simple~" Liang Yunxiao showed a playful expression and looked directly at Ye Yu. "Just through my eyes."
By the naked eye? You're not, are you?
Ye Yu complained silently in his heart, but he still snorted on the surface.
"Oh? Then does Master Liang see which kind of 'spirit' has the upper hand in this house? Ye Yu smiled and pointed at himself at the same time. And my 'soul' energy, can you see it too? “
"Hehe, the 'soul' of this house is full of heavy negative energy, it can be said that it is full of 'evil spirits', and sooner or later something big will happen." Liang Yunxiao focused his gaze on a certain point in front of him, and the solemn expression on his face made Ye Yu's heart slightly hairy, and following Liang Yunxiao's line of sight, Ye Yu only saw an empty space, not even a ghost.
"As for you......" Liang Yunxiao retracted his gaze, turned his head to stare at Ye Yu's expression, and gently hooked the corners of his mouth. Rest assured, your 'soul' is much stronger than others, and the energy that gushes out can expel any external influence. ”
Ye Yu's smile stiffened suddenly, and the subtle changes in his expression were fully visible to Liang Yunxiao.
"Oh, don't panic, I'm praising your soul for being strong, it's hard to be influenced." Liang Yunxiao laughed and patted Ye Yu on the shoulder. "Keep busy, I won't bother you." After saying that, he swaggered away.
How could he...... Is it a coincidence?
Ye Yu looked at Liang Yunxiao's back, and suddenly felt that this person was probably not simple.
Thinking of Lou Yueqian's instructions to hide his identity as a 'destroyer', Ye Yu decided that it would be better to be more careful.
Ye Yu continued to walk around a few times and found that the layout of the entire villa was regular and symmetrical, and there were many rooms.
On the first floor of the villa is a large living room, facing the villa gate; On the left side of the hall is the kitchen and reception room, and on the right side is a large dining room and dressing room. Directly behind the hall, two wooden staircases spiral up to the second floor.
On the second floor, there are ten guest rooms, symmetrically arranged in the corridors on both sides of the staircase, the first room on the right is used as the office of the construction team, and the remaining rooms are currently used as temporary housing for the team members. In addition, there is a set of stairs at the end of each corridor on each side, which leads to the upper and lower floors.
Further up is the third floor, where the master bedroom and a large study are on the left side of the stairs, and on the right are the five unused annex bedrooms and storage rooms, with a small open-air balcony on the roof.
This house is really big...... Ye Yu couldn't help but sigh.
I heard that the previous owner of this place, the Zheng family, was a big merchant family, and the male owner Zheng Qiu was also a well-known jewelry collector, with loving husband and wife, filial piety to children, and that period was also the most lively time in this villa. It's just that Zheng Qiu experienced business failure and the loss of his wife one after another, and his temperament became very eccentric, and then his children also went abroad to develop, and the villa gradually became deserted.
Later, Zheng Qiu continued to have a young wife, but unfortunately it didn't take long for his wife to elope with her lover, so only Zheng Qiu and two or three servants were left in the villa, and they lived for more than ten years.
There are only a few people living in such a big house...... It must be very lonely.
Ye Yu sighed, and along the stairs he was about to go up to the balcony to have a look, but before he could go up, he suddenly heard a faint quarrel from the balcony.
“…… There are reporters here, don't talk nonsense! ”
…… Is it Zhou Hao?
Ye Yu tiptoed to the balcony, glanced inside through the hidden iron door, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Hao facing someone, with an angry face.
"Hehe, what are you anxious about? Isn't it all your fault that things are going to be like this? ”
A man said in a strange manner, and his voice sounded like that of the deputy captain Chen Tao.
"It was an accident!"
Zhou Hao just yelled a few words, and then as if he was afraid of being heard by others, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "I don't want to either...... Besides, don't you also acquiesce in this! ”
"Hmph, but we didn't put that thing." The slightest chill in Chen Tao's words made Zhou Hao's body tremble, and he couldn't help but move his gaze to the side with a weak heart.
“…… What the hell do you want! After a moment of silence, Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and spit out a few words.
"What do I want?" Chen Tao sneered, "Team Zhou, don't think that only you know that secret, I'll just say it, I have to have a part in this matter!" Otherwise...... Hehe......"
"You're ......! How dare you threaten me! ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, there are good things to do together, this is a brother, isn't it?"
Just as the two were arguing, they suddenly heard a man's terrible scream from downstairs!
"Ahhh......hh
The two men on the balcony also seemed to hear the cry and prepared to go downstairs to check. Seeing this, Ye Yu hurriedly walked down the stairs and hid in the shadow of the corner, watching Chen Tao and Zhou Hao walk down the balcony one after another and disappear at the top of the stairs.
Who was the scream...... Could it be that something happened again!?
Ye Yu subconsciously touched the ring on the index finger of his right hand, quickly turned around and ran towards the source of the scream.
