Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Haunted House
Chen Si rarely took a taxi once, and after nearly twenty minutes of driving, the driver parked the car at the place Chen Si said, which was also the address written on the note in the pocket watch, No. 284 Newt Street.
After paying and getting out of the car, Chen Si carried the dirty briefcase and looked up at the building in front of him that did not match the surroundings. In Chen Si's opinion, although the surrounding buildings do not have the high-tech content of the underground station, they are at least rich in modern style, and the No. 284 building he is looking for looks like it has been here more than ten years ago. The broken and peeling walls in many places, and the graffiti on the edge of the subtle cracks formed by the disrepair of the walls, all tell the story of the building's age.
Chen Si hesitated to go in, but when he thought that he did not hesitate to spend hundreds of yuan to come over in a hovering taxi, he would go home because he was a little scared, which was a little ridiculous. So with the thought that he had come, he stepped forward and knocked on the somewhat old wooden door.
After knocking three or four times and no one answered, Chen Si was a little confused and suspicious, he thought that he had found the wrong number or that there was no one here at all. He looked suspiciously, and saw a window at the entrance of the first floor that was covered by green grass. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he slipped into the grass with his briefcase and walked to the window.
The window looked like it hadn't been opened for a long time, and the area around the window was covered in dust. Chen Si raised his hand to brush away some dust from the window and looked inside through the glass. I saw that there was no one inside, and the tables and chairs placed and the washstand next to it seemed to be covered with dust, showing the fact that no one had been here for a long time. This made Chen Si wonder more and more if he was in the wrong place.
Just as Chen Si came out of the grass and patted the dust on his body, and was about to continue to look around, the old wooden door that had been closed suddenly opened with a "squeak". Chen Si jumped back in fright and almost hit the street lamp on the side of the road. I saw that the door slowly opened a crack and then widened more and more, but there was no one behind the door. Chen Si felt a little weird, but he was no longer the ordinary person he used to be. Chen Si emboldened himself in his heart, opened all the doors, and walked in.
Chen Si thought that the air inside the house would be very turbid, but he didn't expect that it was unexpectedly no different from the outside. It's just that everything here seems to have stood still more than ten years ago, and all the furniture and old household appliances are always telling their sense of age. Chen Si looked around and felt that the brightness of the room was much brighter than he imagined. He looked around for the light source, only to see that there was no light in the room. The more Chen Si walked, the more he felt that this house was strange, because it really didn't look like it was for people to live in. Chen Si couldn't hold back his curiosity, closed his eyes, and the telekinesis like a tide surged out of his mind again, filling the entire house in an instant.
Looking at the room without any abnormalities through his telekinesis, Chen Si couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"It seems that I still found the wrong place, and I guess I just opened the door and it was just unlocked, and the wind was blowing..."
Chen Si thought as he walked to the door. When he was about to pull the door out, he found that the wooden door in front of him was not moving. Chen Si pulled hard, and felt as if the door was frozen in the space around him. He used his mental strength to explore his surroundings, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Just as he was about to forcibly open the door with his telekinesis, he suddenly felt a person appear behind him within the scope of telekinesis. When Chen Simeng turned his head, wanting to see who the other party was, the scene in front of him scared him out of the sky.
I saw that there was a girl with long hair and a black dress in front of her, if it was an ordinary girl, Chen Si would not be afraid at all, but what made Chen Si afraid was that the other party was actually transparent, and Chen Si could even see the sofa behind her through her. Her whole person is like, no, it's a ghost!
Chen Si had never been so scared even if he encountered an accident on the subway, he shouted, gathered all his mental power together and blasted towards the gate, shattering the gate in an instant. Chen Si was so frightened that he screamed and rushed out of the room, looking at the dazzling sun outside, he was a little relieved in shock. He stood firm on the lamppost and was about to slip away, but found that the briefcase he was holding before was missing, and when he looked back, he saw that the bag was still firmly placed in the vestibule of the door of the house.
Chen Si turned his head sideways and looked into the house at the broken door outside the house, only to see that the inside of the house had returned to the appearance he had seen when he had just entered the house, and the female ghost he had just seen was gone. Chen Si boldly walked in a little, but nothing happened, just as he was about to use his ability to directly hook the bag out of the air, the door of the indoor vestibule closed by itself, and the things in the room gradually began to flash green.
Chen Si was really frightened this time, he jumped out of the door and stood on the sunny street. Pedestrians passing by looked at him curiously. Chen Si gasped for a while, but he still didn't have the slightest idea of going in and getting the bag.
Just when he decided to go home, someone behind him suddenly patted him on the shoulder, Chen Si was a little nervous by the female ghost just now, and jumped away to look at the person who patted him behind him, but found that the other party was very familiar. Chen Si rubbed his temples to relieve his nerves, frowned and thought, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head in horror and looked at the other party carefully, it turned out that the other party actually looked exactly like the middle-aged uncle who died in front of him in the subway!
"You, you, are you a human or a ghost! I didn't hurt you! You should go to the culprit! I didn't do anything to be sorry for you! I've brought you all your bags..."
Chen Si's voice trembled a little as he looked at the man in front of him, who was likely to be a ghost, and defended in a trembling voice.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then walked forward with some amusement, Chen Si saw that the other party took the initiative to approach, and hurriedly took two steps back in fright.
"Don't, don't come here, I'm going to be polite if I come again!"
The man saw that Chen Si was really frightened, tilted his head a little strangely and thought for a while, and then sighed and said to Chen Si:
"You wait for me here."
As he spoke, he turned around and entered the door that was blasted open by Chen Si with his mental power, and when he entered, he was obviously startled by the destruction caused by Chen Si at the door.
Just when Chen Si was already thinking about whether to turn around and slip away, he saw that the man just walked out again, followed by a little girl behind him, Chen Si took a closer look, and the little girl was the image of the female ghost he saw just now! Wearing a long black dress and long black hair like a waterfall.
"Little brother, do you want to come in and sit down for a while, and I'll explain to you what's going on."
Just as Chen Si was ready to run away, the man stopped him.
Chen Sizhan turned his head to look over tremblingly, but found that there was nothing unusual about the two of them under the sun, and the body of the "female ghost" did not become transparent.
Chen Si stared at the little girl behind the man in shock and fear, and from time to time looked at the smiling man standing in front of her, and slowly moved over with a suspicious expression.
