Ye Jia held two cups of milk tea, opened the car door and got in.
He handed one of the cups to Cheng Cezhi, and asked casually, "So what happened to that villa?"
Cheng Cezhi: "...Brother Ye, didn't you read the mission document?"
Ye Jia's action of inserting the straw stopped, and said without changing his face: "It's too long."
Cheng Cezhi: "…"
As expected of you.
Forget it, anyway, once it's born again, it's cooked twice.
He sighed and said, "It was a villa in the suburbs, it seems to have been sold long ago, but it has never been lived in, it has been idle for seven or eight years, and now it is almost deserted. "
Ye Jia took a sip of milk tea and sighed: "Rich people."
To be able to buy a villa and never live there is not without money, and it is not without style.
"No." Cheng Cezhi also nodded and said with emotion.
He continued: "Recently, nearby residents have responded that they can always hear strange noises coming from the abandoned villa, or see strange figures at night, but during the day they are still lifeless, without the slightest There are traces of occupancy, so this place has become a well-known haunted house, and there are residents in the area who have been in contact with the administration, so they submitted an application to us.”
After receiving the entrustment from the public, the work process of the Administration generally has three steps:
First, dispatch members of the logistics department to carry out testing with relevant instruments to assess the hazards of paranormal phenomena.
If you really find a ghost at work, send a member of the Combat Section there.
After the cleanup, members of the logistics department took the instruments for final data collection and completed the task.
—Actually, this task was not supposed to be the two of them, but the logistics department was not sufficiently staffed, and Zhao Dong had just been discharged from the hospital, so after all the calculations, only Ye Jia, who likes to fish, and Cheng Cezhi, who had just joined the company, had time.
Ye Jia has carried out such inspections many times.
In fact, most of the public commissions have nothing to do with supernatural phenomena. Sometimes it is just the strange noise caused by the uneven heating of the underground pipes, or the phantom imaging caused by the transformation of light and shadow, so 99% of the commissions are commissioned. They all stay on the first step of testing, and only in a few cases do you really need to contact the Combat Section.
And Ye Jia was too lazy to write a document report.
Therefore, in the process of his field work, even if it is really a supernatural phenomenon, he will solve it easily, and then report it as nothing happened.
- This saves a lot of trouble.
Ye Jia lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, looking at the blurry scenery passing by outside the window, half-squinting his eyes.
Based on past experience, this work is estimated to be resolved within two days.
At this moment, a strange voice came from the back seat of the car:
"No no no!"
Ye Jia's expression was the same, as if he didn't hear it at all.
Cheng Cezhi raised his head and glanced at the rear-view mirror, and his expression became a little indescribable: "That..."
Ye Jia: "Huh?"
"It... what is it doing?" Cheng Cezhi looked back complicatedly.
I saw that in the back seat of the car, the little black hand was tied into a dead knot and fastened to the seat belt of the back seat, and a few tiny fingers swayed desperately, trying to attract the attention of the people in the front seat: "Mmmmmmmmmmmmm !"
Ye Jia took a sip of milk tea calmly: "The process of quitting Internet addiction is always painful."
—Especially after he just found out that the little black hand secretly put a lot of his savings in.
He lowered his eyes and sighed slowly: "I really have to change the payment password."
Cheng Cezhi noticed that he turned his head to look at Ye Jia and asked, "You... what was your previous password?"
"123456." Ye Jia replied.
Cheng Cezhi: "…"
Why wasn't he surprised at all.
The car gradually drove away from the city, and the further forward, the more desolate the surrounding scenery, and after three full hours of driving, they finally came to the suburb marked in the mission.
It does look like it's been deserted for a long time.
Through the tall iron gate, you can see the villa in the courtyard. It has three floors. You can see the ingenuity of the design and the exquisite structure from the outside. After that, it fell off, mottled, revealing the dark wall underneath. The iron door outside was covered with rust marks, which were loosely covered. There were two thick iron chains hanging on it, which were roughly wrapped twice. But there is still enough space for one person to get through.
Ye Jia and Cheng Ce got out of the car and looked into the courtyard.
Inside the iron gate, the vast courtyard has been covered with weeds half a person high, and it looks extraordinarily desolate and lonely.
From a distance, you can see the dirty windows of the villa covered with dust. There is no light in the darkness, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.
"No no no no!"
The muffled sound of the little black hand came from the back seat of the car.
Ye Jia glanced at it lazily, and finally found it in his conscience and untied it.
Little Black Hand sobbed and climbed back to Ye Jia's shoulder.
Ye Jia said ruthlessly: "Your krypton amount for next month is gone."
"!!" The little black hand was startled, and then the whole ghost wilted. It hugged Ye Jia's collar and cried even louder: "Woooooooooo..."
I picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, what a loss! !
Rubbish game, ruin my ghost life! Why do you have to have that skin in these two days!
Cheng Cezhi lifted the trunk lid of the car, took the portable version of the test instrument in his hand, then turned his head and said to Ye Jia, "Let's go!"
The two of them got in through the gap in the iron gate of the villa one after the other, and walked through the pitted courtyard with one foot deep and the other shallow.
The weeds here are so ferocious that they poke on the exposed skin, making people's calves and arms tingle intolerably.
There are also many tall and grotesque shrubs growing in the middle. As long as you walk into the courtyard, your view is almost completely blocked, and you can only see the crooked tiles on the roof of the villa and the black window on the uppermost floor.
Cheng Cezhi walked forward with difficulty, and whispered, "Although I know the weather in M city is humid, it's a bit too wild for the weeds to grow so high?"
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said, "Shh."
Cheng Ce was stunned, stopped quickly, and listened with bated breath.
There was a soft whisper in front of me, as if someone was talking in a low voice, or as if it was just the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the grass.
Cheng Cezhi's heart lifted instantly.
Could it be... Is there really something wrong with this villa
But Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and walked straight towards the direction of the sound.
"Hey!" Cheng Cezhi called in a low voice, seeing that the figure of the other party was about to disappear from sight, he gritted his teeth, and he hurriedly chased after him: "Wait for me! "
A few steps forward, the vision suddenly became clear.
Only then did Cheng Cezhi see that five young people were standing at the door of the villa, discussing something in a low voice.
The three men and two women looked to be in their twenties, and they were dressed very fashionably. One of them was carrying a strange-looking pitch-black instrument in his hand, and was scanning the front door in a serious manner.
Seeing Ye Jia and Cheng Cezhi emerge from the grass, they also seemed surprised.
Soon, the person in the lead calmed down and came over to say hello: "You guys also heard that this place is haunted, so you came to explore?"
He extended his hand enthusiastically: "I'm Guan Tianyi."
Cheng Cezhi: "…"
Ah this.
He calmed down and asked in disbelief, "You... are you here to explore?"
"That's right." Guan Tianyi nodded as a matter of course: "Isn't this a well-known haunted house?"
The other boy behind him made a face and slammed forward, making the other two girls tremble with fright. After screaming, he turned around and beat him. Several people laughed.
Cheng Cezhi: "…"
Don't you guys think you're like the standard death squad in horror movies
He took back his divergent thoughts, and with a straight face, he warned solemnly: "This is not the place you should come, you'd better..."
Before Cheng Cezhi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a girl who suddenly approached.
She has short hair and looks very lively and cheerful. She curiously lowered her head and looked at the instrument in Cheng Cezhi's hand: "Eh? What is this?"
Another boy's eyes lit up: "Are you the kind of professionals who hunt ghosts?"
Guan Tianyi was also excited, and guessed wildly: "Hey! Or some kind of secret government department—"
Seeing that he was going to continue speaking, Cheng Cezhi hurriedly interrupted him: "No, I, we..."
He gritted his teeth and said with a suffocated breath, "We are just amateur supernatural enthusiasts, that's all."
"Damn," Guan Tianyi looked back in disappointment and shrugged, "Isn't that similar to us? How about going in together?"
Talking to this level, Cheng Cezhi has already been riding a tiger.
He had no choice but to nod his head sullenly, and said, "...Okay."
One of the five, a girl with long hair and a slender face said, "My name is He Lian, what are your names?"
She glanced at Ye Jia who was standing aside.
From the beginning, the young man stood by without saying a word, as if he was out of the way. He raised his head, his light-colored eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on the abandoned villa in front of him, as if he was thinking quietly. what.
The afternoon sun fell on him, coating his light brown hair with a splendid light gold, and more and more clearly outlined the young man's pale profile and tall and straight body, as if he had walked out of the virtual world. handsome man.
There was a slight blush on the girl's fair face, and she said a little shyly:
"Let's get to know each other, maybe we can make friends."
Ye Jia looked back and smiled at her: "Ye Jia."
Seeing that Ye Jia was so cooperative, Cheng Cezhi reluctantly reported his name.
Guan Tianyi turned around, reached out and pushed open the door of the villa.
The door was unlocked, the hinges creaked hoarsely, and then slid slowly into the darkness.
A smell of old, damp wood rotting came toward him, causing the two people standing at the front to sneeze several times.
When the dust brought by the door opened, he could finally see the layout of the room.
The room was dimly lit, and dim sunlight poured in through the dust-covered windows, barely dispelling the darkness in the hall.
The living room on the first floor is very large, and there are several pieces of furniture scattered about, but the furniture has obviously been placed for a long time, and there is a thick layer of dust on it. s color.
There are also a few hanging paintings on the walls, the images on them are blurred, and only a few outlines of the past can be discerned.
The whole villa was shrouded in a layer of eerie silence. Although it was summer, the temperature in the room was very low. It was gloomy and cold, invading the bone marrow, causing the hair to stand up uncontrollably.
"Wow." After being silent for a long time, Guan Tianyi exclaimed slowly.
He turned his head and looked at his partner behind him, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Is it very atmosphere?"
Cheng Cezhi rolled his eyes silently.
He pulled La Yega's arm, put it close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the second floor to turn on the instrument later."
Starting the machine in front of this young man is like killing him. He doesn't want to see headlines like "Secret government department dealing with supernatural cases shows up in m city" on the headline of so-and-so tomorrow, so the best way is to separate action.
Ye Jia shrugged noncommittally and looked away from the instrument in Guan Tianyi's hand.
The seven people walked towards the hall one after another, the door was open behind them, the dazzling sunlight came in from the outside, and a clear line was drawn at the door - the inside was a cold and decayed abandoned building, and the outside was a sunny midsummer afternoon.
One of the boys lowered his voice, got close to the two girls who were next to each other, and said in a faint tone:
"Do you know, the former owners of this place were a husband and wife, the wife went crazy because her husband cheated, and then strangled both children, stabbed her husband to death, and then hanged herself. From that day on, their grievances Trapped in this house, waiting for someone else to come..."
His voice got lower and lower.
The two girls, with a blank face, stuck close to each other, listening to each other's horror stories with excitement and fear.
Cheng Cezhi, who was listening to the whole process, was expressionless.
- It's all bullshit.
He had read all the information about this building before he came here. No one has lived here since it was built, let alone this kind of shocking bloody case where four people died at once.
If it really happened, it wouldn't be the two logisticians who came.
It is because this place is very clean, and half of its lives have not been taken out, so the bureau will assign it as a low-risk case.
Cheng Cezhi showed a professional smirk:
"Well, let's go downstairs first, let's go upstairs and take a look."
"That, that" He Lian glanced at Ye Jia, her cheeks slightly red: "Actually, I also want to go to the second floor to have a look..."
Cheng Cezhi turned his head to look at Ye Jia, his deep eyes seemed to say: You will solve the problem you caused.
Ye Jia smiled slightly, and his thick eyelashes drooped slightly, showing a bit of demagogic tenderness: "There has been no one here for so long, and the stairs and floors may be aging. Let's go up and try, if there is no danger, I will call you up, After all, no one can drop the lady."
He Jie's face turned even redder.
She nodded dizzily: "Oh, oh good."
This time, no one stopped them, and the two walked upstairs smoothly.
The stairs under my feet creaking, and the voices of several people talking on the first floor gradually weakened.
Cheng Cezhi looked at Ye Jia in amazement: "Brother Ye, strong."
He sighed enviously: "There should be a lot of girls chasing you, right?"
The little black hand grabbed Ye Jia's shoulder and said faintly, "Oh, you stupid humans who are confused by appearances."
-Only it knows the real face of the man in front of him!
Ye Jia: "..."
His brows jumped, he raised his hand and pressed the little black hand back, showing a perfect smile: "Didn't you say you want to test?"
"Oh."
Cheng Cezhi nodded and placed the instrument on the floor of the corridor to complete the setup. Then, he turned on the instrument in his hand and looked down at the readings on it carefully.
The concentration of yin qi is much higher than the normal value, but it is just stuck in the place where the dangerous value is about to be reached, and it cannot go up or down.
Cheng Cezhi frowned, stared at the instrument in his hands doubtfully, and made trouble: "This..."
Is this normal or abnormal? !
Ye Jia crossed his arms, leaned against the door frame, and stood aside from the incident.
When Cheng Cezhi was debugging the machine, he squinted and stared into the distance idly.
There are ghosts in this villa.
—And it really came out of the game.
This is a d-class ghost called a frightening spirit.
Most ghosts feed on humans, or the negative tastes of humans, and the food of this ghost is more targeted, that is, the fear of players.
They like scaring people very much, and they often appear in some low-level dungeons. They are not very dangerous. Unless they live with them for a long time, they will not be in danger of life.
The surrounding residents heard the strange noises from the villa and the ghosts they saw, which were probably the tricks of the frightening spirit.
Ye Jia's focus is... the machine that Guan Tianyi is carrying.
- If he's not mistaken, it's actually a prop from the game.
It is a ghost detection device that allows players to sense the arrival of danger in advance. The level is not very high, at most four or five hundred points can be exchanged, but the accuracy is higher than that used by the Supernatural Administration in reality. more and more portable.
He should have thought that since someone will smuggle out the cursed items in the game, the items in the game should be no exception, and may even have begun to circulate in the black market before the authority is aware of it.
Going back to the source, it should be possible to seize a considerable number of game props.
— and he might find better uses for these props.
Ye Jia lowered his eyes thoughtfully, his eyes fell on the rotten and dirty ground, and seemed to be scrutinizing the cracked lines on it.
downstairs.
The five people spread out and wandered slowly around the mansion. They were half excited and half afraid to observe the room in front of them.
The floor underfoot creaked in disrepair, the smell of damp, rotten wood floated in the air, the walls were peeling, and black water marks loomed
"Boom." A sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded from upstairs.
"Gulululu—" Something seemed to be rolling on the floor.
Guan Tianyi raised his head and glanced upstairs.
It is estimated that the two people above dropped something to the ground.
He didn't care much, lowered his head and carefully observed the piano in front of him with half of its legs crooked. The keys were covered with thick dust, and it was almost difficult to distinguish the original clear black and white.
He reached out and tentatively pressed a key.
The crisp sound of the piano sounded in the room without warning, breaking the dead silence of the room.
The other four were startled.
The short-haired girl glared at Guan Tianyi angrily: "Hey, don't scare people!"
Guan Tianyi raised his hand with a smile and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
He turned around and walked towards the wall.
Just as he was looking at the vaguely outlined paintings on the wall, the sound of the piano behind him suddenly rang again.
"Ha," Guan Tianyi smiled and turned around: "You think you can scare you with the tricks I used to..."
"You have no end..." Several others turned around in a bit of anger.
Their voices suffocated at the same time, and they looked at each other in dismay, and they didn't seem to expect the other party to react this way.
The five of them looked at the piano in unison.
The piano was leaning against the wall, the keys were dusty, and there was no one beside the piano.
The cold sweat on Guan Tianyi's back broke out instantly, he swallowed his saliva pretending to be calm, and said dryly: "Haha, nice job, if I hadn't already used this trick, I might really be caught. You are terrified."
The faces of the other four were also a little pale, and they looked at their companions in disbelief, as if not sure if this was a prank by their friends.
"Boom." The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded again, very soft, almost inaudible from the other end of the room.
But this time it was on the first floor.
A round thing rolled out of the darkness and hit a boy's foot.
The boy was stunned for a moment, lowered his head to face his feet, and saw a dusty bead parked at his feet, which seemed to be covered with dust.
He felt a little hairy in his heart.
That uncomfortable feeling lingered up, making him, who has always been bold, feel a little creepy.
The boy swallowed dryly and slowly stepped back, trying to distance himself from the bead.
But as soon as he lifted his foot, the bead naturally turned in his direction, revealing the white whites of his eyes and his dark pupils—
"Ahhhhh!!" The boy shouted, stumbled back, his lower back slammed into the corner of the table behind him with a bang, and he fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
Several other people hurriedly surrounded them: "What's wrong?"
The boy pointed at the bead in shock, his voice trembling and changing his tone: "That...that..."
The short-haired girl followed his line of sight and moved the beads with her toes boldly.
It rolled slowly into the distance, revealing a surface of black and white lines beneath the dust.
Appears to be ornaments that fell from the stair railing.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The short-haired girl teased: "You scared us just now, and now you are more cowardly than everyone else."
The boy was still sitting on the ground in shock, with a pale face, his eyes fell on the bead, and he seemed to have no idea whether what he saw just now was an illusion or the truth.
He Lian shivered: "I don't feel very comfortable here, why don't we go..."
The light outside the window slowly dimmed, and the light in the room became dimmer, and a gloomy silence enveloped the entire hall, making even the most daring person feel intimidated.
Guan Tianyi swallowed his saliva and nodded: "Since you don't want to stay anymore, then let's just..."
Before his voice fell, the instrument he was holding suddenly made a loud noise.
"Di Di Di Di-" The harsh sound resounded through the hall, causing the eardrums of the shocked people to ache.
Guan Tianyi lowered his head, groped around the instrument in a hurry, and muttered in a low voice, "This... how can this be turned off... "
At this moment, he suddenly felt the atmosphere around him change.
Guan Tianyi raised his head.
I saw that the four companions in front of him were all pale and their pupils were constricted. One of them slowly raised his hand and pointed his trembling fingers to Guan Tianyi's back.
In that instant, a chill ran up his spine, bringing with it a shudder of terror.
Guan Tianyi's face froze, and he slowly turned his head to look.
I saw that on the wall behind him, the outlines of all the characters in the paintings began to become clearer and clearer at some point - it was a woman's pale face, her facial features were blurred and unclear, but a pair of dark and dull eyes. Eyeballs are particularly terrifying, staring at the five people standing in the room.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"
The crowd screamed wildly, turned around and ran towards the gate.
When Ye Jia and Cheng Cezhi heard the movement, they quickly packed up their instruments and rushed downstairs, and this was what they saw.
Five people crowded at the door, shaking the door in front of them with all their might, but the door panel was as if cast in copper and iron. Each of them was pale and terrified. Beeping.
It hurts people's brains.
Ye Jia frowned.
At this moment, he heard a thin voice coming from above his head: "Ah, look, that handsome guy has come down."
"Should we scare him too?"
The thin voice sounded a little tangled: "But he looks good, I'm a little reluctant to bear..."
"Oh, you don't understand, isn't the handsome guy more beautiful when he's panicked and helpless!" Another voice came a little closer, almost from above his side, and he laughed twice: "There's something nice about him. Smell it..."
"That's right! And he looks so good, his legs are so long, and his skin is so white! I really want to know if he has abs..." The voice whispered: "Hey, after you said he was scared by us, Is it possible to undress in a panic?"
"Stop dreaming!" A thin voice interrupted it: "How can someone undress after being frightened! Your brain is broken!"
"Oh, you're right..." The voice above his head sighed reluctantly, as if he was very disappointed that he couldn't see the other party undress.
it says:
"Then, why not?"
Ye Jia who heard all of their conversations below: "..."
?
Wait, wait, why is this ghost's style so weird
