Chapter 10: The Basement
It wasn't until around twelve o'clock that the alarm went off again and I knew something was coming in the room.
I was just about to light the incense candle to negotiate with the other party, Chen Shuyan woke up screaming, panicked.
When I asked, I found out that she had a nightmare, and at the same time, the temperature in the living room dropped significantly, and she could exhale white gas.
I immediately lit the incense candle, poured rice wine and said, "I blocked your way and hit your bridge, since you are willing to come out, then show up and see you, let's talk about it and try to avoid unnecessary conflicts." ”
The candle flame flickered slightly, and suddenly it came at me.
I blocked it with my hand, with a serious expression, "Toast and don't eat and drink, I really don't have the ability to deal with you!" ”
I slapped the table, picked up three talismans and lit them with fire, and although he didn't show up, the compass positioned him to the southeast.
The moment the spirit rune was activated, the golden light made Zhao Xing's hidden figure nowhere to hide.
I stepped forward with an arrow, pinched the trick with one hand to gather the aura to my fingertips, and then pointed between Zhao Xing's eyebrows.
He screamed, and the ghost qi on his body involuntarily exploded.
I forcibly used my aura to block the impact, because if I took a step back, it would harm Chen Shuyan.
Although he couldn't see Zhao Xing, he also knew that I was confronting something.
"Damn stinky old man, you dare to find someone to deal with me."
Zhao Xing has a lot of resentment, and his current state may go berserk at any time, so I have to be careful.
Just then, there was a rumbling sound outside, followed by a bucket-thick bolt of lightning that pierced the sky.
Ghosts are afraid of thunder, and Zhao Xing is no exception, he glanced out, and then disappeared into the living room.
I had to let him go first, and turned my head to ask Chen Shuyan if he was okay.
She didn't do anything but be frightened by nightmares.
"I don't usually have nightmares at home, why do I start having nightmares when I go to other places, don't you know how to tell fortunes, or help me do the math."
Chen Shuyan saw that the atmosphere was a bit serious, so he made a joke.
"I'm dying myself, and I'm still helping people tell fortunes, and the reason why you have nightmares is because you recognize the bed."
I answered her question in one bite, Chen Shuyan glanced at me, and whispered two words, straight man......
As for whether I'm a straight man or not, I don't know, I just think that if I have something to say, there is no need to go around, and I don't like to please someone.
But then someone told me that there are not many people in this world who like to listen to the truth, most people like to pretend to be confused, and once the confusion is revealed, then they will only get the contempt of the other party.
Getting back to business, I changed the topic and asked Chen Shuyan what dream he had just had.
She said that she dreamed that there were two strangers standing in the living room, bleeding and terrifying, and they were both pointing in the same direction.
I looked in the direction that Chen Shuyan said, and it turned out to be the toilet of Uncle Qin's house.
"Are you sure it's two people?"
Chen Shuyan nodded and said, "It's just two people, I don't know each other, it seems that they are talking about what to save......
"Help me?"
I didn't even think about blurting it out, so I walked briskly to the bathroom.
Chen Shuyan looked puzzled, and stood at the door of the toilet and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I was speechless, "I said Miss, are you so straightforward at home, if others want to go to the toilet, will you follow up?" ”
After being trained by me, Chen Shuyan suddenly showed a sad expression.
I knew that my tone was a bit heavy, so I explained, "I mean, there must be demons when things go wrong, and those two people may be the two owners of this house who died, and it is no accident that they appeared in your dreams, and they must have wanted to tell you something." ”
Chen Shuyan didn't speak, so I had to look for clues in the toilet while changing the topic and asking other things.
At first, I thought that Chen Weiming knew that Chen Shuyan was coming to me, but who knew that she came out without Chen Weiming.
"Miss, if you don't say hello, aren't you afraid that your father will worry? Later, if the blame comes to me, I can't explain it, I can't say that I brought you to the murderous house for a tour, right? ”
"You think too much, my dad can't eat people, what are you afraid of, and, don't call me Miss, I have a name, Miss is more than outside."
I couldn't laugh or cry, and I was about to wash my hands and leave the toilet, but it didn't seem like there was any clue, maybe it was just a dream.
But just as I was about to reach for water, the shower gel on the sink suddenly fell to the ground.
I bent down to pick it up, and when I got up, I found a man standing in the mirror, behind me to be exact.
Seeing me standing in place and the atmosphere was weird, Chen Shuyan was a little scared and gently touched my hand.
"You...... What are you doing, don't scare me. ”
I motioned for Chen Shuyan not to speak, and then asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
The male ghost appeared weak and raised his hand to his feet.
"What do you mean, what do you want to say, there's something down there?"
I asked one after another, and finally got a nod of the male ghost's answer.
When I tried to continue asking, the male ghost kept flickering and eventually disappeared.
He's definitely still there, just can't be out for long.
In order to test my conjecture, I found a hammer to smash the tiles, and to my surprise, there was no cement underneath, but a simple layer of wooden planks.
I knocked on the plank, and the sound I came out was hollow, proving that there was no seal underneath and that there was probably another space.
Thinking of the news I got from the old man in the morning, I suddenly had a bold conjecture.
He said that Zhao Xing disappeared inexplicably before, and the police searched for a long time but did not find him.
So is there a possibility that he didn't leave the house at all.
Thinking of this, I immediately smashed the wooden board and shone it down with the light of my mobile phone.
I didn't expect there to be a basement here, and I'm even more sure there's something down there.
"You just stay on it and don't run around, the cinnabar bracelet I gave you last time is still there, right? Take it and ignore whatever you hear or see. ”
I told Chen Shuyan, and then jumped down with my phone.
The basement is not large, with a lot of miscellaneous items, and there is a row of charms on the ground.
I kept an eye on it, took a picture of the charm with my mobile phone and sent it to the master.
At the end of the spell was a door, and when I was about to open the door and go in, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind me, and it was actually Chen Shuyan.
"Didn't I tell you to stay up there and not run around, what are you doing here?"
I frowned, my tone impulsive.
"I ...... I just want to help, why are you so fierce. ”
Seeing Chen Shuyan's aggrieved appearance, I had no choice but to stabilize my emotions and say to her, "Then come here, don't move things, you know." ”
I unscrewed the doorknob, and strangely enough, the door couldn't be pushed open, as if something was in the way.
When I was about to break the door with brute force, Chen Shuyan suddenly pushed me away, holding the doorknob and pulling it gently, but the door was really opened by her.
