188 Live Haunted House
If it were up to him, Yang Jian would not willingly involve himself in any supernatural events.
But in this world, there are many things you can’t control, regardless of whether you want to or not.
The supernatural occurrences here must be resolved.
Even if they are not related to Zhang Wei’s life safety, in order to ensure his own interests, there must absolutely be no supernatural events in this housing complex. Any sign of trouble must be nipped in the bud.
After all, Yang Jian planned to live here in the future.
And he also owned a forty percent stake in this complex.
However, Yang Jian now wondered if Zhang Xiangu’s willingness to give up such a large stake so readily was also for the sake of protecting Zhang Wei?
“Brother Tui, is it just the two of us? Don’t you think we’re a bit outnumbered? Should I call a few more bodyguards?” Zhang Wei asked, feeling a bit uneasy.
Yang Jian said, “What good are bodyguards? They can’t deal with ghosts, and if something really happens, at most you’ll be the only one who dies. There’s no need to drag others into it.”
“That sounds logical, but why do I feel like I’m about to be in big trouble?” Zhang Wei said.
“You were already in trouble. I forcibly extended your life,” Yang Jian said.
The ghost following Zhang Wei had actually tried to come out several times but vanished again after Yang Jian discerned its identity.
Although he didn’t know what the ghost intended to do after leaving the mirror, if it achieved its goal, it certainly wouldn’t be anything good.
Soon.
The two arrived in front of the dilapidated house.
Weeds overgrew the entrance, and the wooden doors, nearly rotted through, were half-open. Through the gap in the door, it was clear that the inside was also overgrown with weeds and covered in moss. And because the house had no windows, despite the sweltering heat and the harsh sunlight outside, the interior remained dim and cold.
Ordinary people would be frightened by the environment alone, let alone the presence of ghosts.
“Let’s go in and have a look,” Yang Jian said.
He didn’t act rashly. He carried a Ghost Candle with him, ready to use Ghost Domain to leave immediately if something felt off. And if things really turned south, he would use the Ghost Candle.
He was just there to assess the situation and did not intend to confront any ghosts that might appear.
Though the house was old, the interior wasn’t small.
After entering, there was a reasonably spacious antechamber, followed by the main hall.
The main hall was cluttered with old farm tools. It seemed that the older generation had used this place as a storage area. But due to years of neglect and a leaking roof, the air was filled with a musty smell.
“Brother Tui, what’s it like inside? Any ghosts?” Zhang Wei still stood outside, whispering loudly.
“Why haven’t you come in yet?” Yang Jian turned to look back and raised an eyebrow.
“I’m scared.”
Zhang Wei whispered again, “If there’s nothing in there, let’s go back and play ‘Chicken’ together. My recoil control is super steady. I’ll carry you to victory.”
Yang Jian said, “I’ll look around a bit more, then we’ll head back.”
His gaze shifted to the second floor.
That sense of unease came from the second floor; everything on the first floor was normal.
Just as he was about to step up the stairs.
At that moment, suddenly, the sound of footsteps and voices came from behind the main hall on the first floor.
“Who’s there?” Yang Jian suddenly called out.
“Did you see that? That’s the notorious haunted house of our village. It’s about to be demolished. If you don’t see it now, it will be gone in a few days. Brother Hwu is taking you to check it out in daylight. We’ll come back at night to see if there are really ghosts here. Remember to double-tap 666, Brother Hwu will lead you into the unknown mysterious world.”
At this time, two youngsters, one holding a mobile phone filming, the other speaking to the camera, were seen.
“Damn.”
Yang Jian’s shout scared the younger one, known as Brother Hwu, who turned and ran.
“Bro, that rich second-generation guy,” the one filming said, recognizing Zhang Wei.
At that moment, many comments started popping up on the phone.
“Nearly freaked out, huh?”
“There’s a ghost, right?”
“You scared the hell out of me. I really thought there were ghosts. Turns out we’ve stumbled upon one of our own.”
Yang Jian frowned and walked over. “Who are you?”
“Who the hell are you, I’m livestreaming here, what are you shouting and screaming for in broad daylight? You scared the bejesus out of Brother Hwu.” Said the man who claimed to be Brother Hwu, then he looked into the camera and said, “No worries, just a little hiccup, Brother Hwu can handle it.”
“Livestream?” Yang Jian glanced around.
“Even if you are livestreaming, don’t come to a place like this, get lost.”
As he finished speaking, a flurry of comments flashed across the phone of the person filming behind him.
“This kid is so arrogant, if it were me, I would have taken the keyboard and suppressed him on the spot.”
“It looks like this guy has the courage of a thousand men, Brother Hwu, get out quick.”
