Supernatural topics are always news materials that attract the attention of the public. Although due to China's national conditions, supernatural newspapers and periodicals cannot be published in the form of formal publications, but in the 21st century, there is an information zone called "the Internet", which provides opportunities for supernatural lovers to communicate and discuss with each other.
"Gate of Hades" is a very famous supernatural website. This website does not attract clicks with vulgar pornographic pictures, and there are few advertisements and pop-up windows, and there are few viruses, so it is very Popular with supernatural-loving netizens. Since the website was established three years ago, the number of members of the forum has reached tens of thousands. Moreover, the management is very formal, the rules of the forum are very strict, Ban Zhu will strictly review each post every day, some real supernatural news materials will be reviewed and refined, and those PS fake supernatural photos will be deleted. Seriously, it will be banned. Good posts will be published on the main site, and the main site will also regularly update supernatural news from all over the world, and the staff of the site are very responsible, all news are accompanied by photos, and every time they go to the site to interview and research, It can be said that he has done enough work.
To be honest, such a responsible website can be said to be extremely rare in today's online world where false information is flying all over the sky and hype is indiscriminate. The webmaster of this website, named Qiu Shunxuan, has been devoting himself to the research of supernatural phenomena. Finally, three years ago, he gathered a group of fellow enthusiasts in this field and founded "Gate of Hades". If you look carefully, there are countless related supernatural phenomena. Although many of them are false, they can all be identified one by one. On the website, a special statement is also issued. If you suspect that the supernatural news published by them is false, you can open a post to discuss it on the forum. Once verified, the fake news will be removed from the main website and the member’s supernatural coins (the virtual currency of this forum).
Everything started from that day.
On this day, Banzhu Yue Jie of the Gate of Hades forum checked the forum posts at home. After pinning some announcements to the top, he began to check the new posts of the forum. At this moment, a post in the essence discussion area caught her attention.
The thread was titled "A real haunted house! Do you have the guts to check it out?"
Originally, such posts appear in other forums, which is commonplace. But it's a different matter if it appears on the forum of the Gate of Hades. This forum is very strict about the authenticity of supernatural news. If a netizen provides news about supernatural phenomena, then the people on the website will definitely verify it. Once it is verified that it is a false post, it may be banned. Well, in the first year of the forum's establishment, those netizens who reported indiscriminately were blocked. After that, everyone understood the style of this forum, so no one dared to post without confirmation. Even if there are some boring people flooding indiscriminately, this post appears in the essence discussion area. Generally, if it is just irrigation, you can post in the water area. In the essence discussion area, it is normal that there is no new post even after half a month Yes, because the owner of this section is the deputy webmaster of the website, and the requirements are extremely strict. To put it bluntly, the posts posted here are generally similar to the essence of ordinary forum posts.
So Yue Jie opened this post.
"This is… "
A month later, seven members of the Hades' Gate interview team went to the southwest of City A, the famous haunted house on Yueqing Mountain—the House of Dawn.
It was Tuesday afternoon, at around 2:30, seven people were in two cars each, and headed for the top of the mountain along the circular highway of Yueqing Mountain. For this interview, the current owner of the house, Mrs. Fujikiku, agreed. The House of Dawn is the residence of the late Dong Gunan, a famous rich man in City A. Dong Gunan was once a tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, he had many properties under his name, but he and his wife Fujiju had never had any children, so his huge property was left to his wife to take care of it. Of course, it also includes the Pavilion of Dawn.
That haunted house is said to be very famous in City A.
Among the interview team members this time, the team leader is Qiu Shunxuan, the webmaster of the website. Frankly speaking, although he has always attached great importance to the importance of on-the-spot interviews, this is the first time he has personally participated. The reason why it attracted so much attention was because of that post.
The user name of the poster is "The Lost Descendant". According to him, he is from City A and a resident near Yueqing Mountain. And he himself is also a fan of ghosts. There are many rumors about haunting near the Pavilion of Dawn, and many people feel terrified. Moreover, there are different opinions on Donggunan's own death. Originally, this post only listed some data, without any evidence. For such posts, the staff of the general website will not pay too much attention, after all, there is no workload to verify them one by one. However, this time the situation is a bit special.
Shunxuan's son died five years ago.
There was no reason for the son to die. That morning, when he was sleeping at home, he was woken up by the wind blowing from the balcony, but he saw his son standing on the balcony at this moment, and he was only wearing thin pajamas. He wanted to ask his son to come in, but suddenly he saw his son turn his head and look at him coldly.
That didn't look like a son's eyes at all. The son, who was only three years old at the time, sneered at him, which looked unnatural no matter how you looked at it. Then, the son said a word.
"Go to the Pavilion of Dawn!"
That voice... that's not the voice of a son!
Immediately, he watched his son climb up the balcony. He was so shocked that he almost stopped breathing. He hurried forward to hold his son, but it was too late, and his son fell off the balcony.
On the day of the funeral, his wife cried to death, but he silently watched his son's portrait. He didn't believe that his son would commit suicide. Was the person on the balcony really his son? He always felt that there would be some clues.
After that, he actually became crazy obsessed with supernatural phenomena, because he thought it could find out the real reason of his son's death, but his wife thought that her husband was insane. Completely broke up and ended up divorced.
After the divorce, Shunxuan still did not give up until he set up the website of Gate of Hades. By collecting a lot of supernatural information, the purpose was to find out the cause of his son's death. Moreover, there is still a trace of fantasy in his heart, is it possible that his son is still alive? Even though he knew it himself, it was a ridiculous idea. However, with the confirmation of many supernatural phenomena, he began to believe that there are indeed ghosts in the world. It is only because science has become the main attitude towards natural phenomena in today's world that supernatural beings will be rejected. But this does not mean that supernatural phenomena can be completely denied.
And the name "Dawn House" is a clue that is very related to the death of the son. Yue Jie met Shunxuan because he also liked to study supernatural beings. He was already divorced at that time. And only Yue Jie, regarded as a true bosom friend by Shunxuan, confided to him the son's "last words" that he had heard back then. So after she saw the "Dawn Villa" mentioned in that post, she immediately told Shunxuan about it.
Therefore, there is today's line.
Most of the seven people in the interview team were members when the site was first built. Although some of them live in different cities, they know each other very well. After all, today's information society can be said to be close to each other.
The mountain road was very bumpy, Shen Ang, the photographer in charge of driving, asked Yue Jie who was sitting next to him curiously: "Deputy Station Master... why did the Station Master come this time? Doesn't he usually come to the front line?" ?”
"The station master is interested in this operation. By the way," Yue Jie said to him with a smile: "Your technology is recognized by the industry, you should be able to take supernatural photos, right?"
"That's natural! It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to photograph real ghosts yet..."
Seeing him stroking the camera hanging around his neck, Yue Jie smiled knowingly, looked back at Shun Xuan who was sitting behind, and said, "Station Master, shall we visit Mrs. Fujiju first? She seems to be jealous of that too." The house, I live in a house near the Pavilion of Dawn."
"Hmm..." Shun Xuan nodded silently, and then fell silent. It could be seen that he was very nervous.
There was another car behind, full of front-line interviewers. As for the four people in the car, one of them is a newcomer named Qiu Ye. She didn't become a staff member of the website because of her hobby of supernatural beings. On the contrary, she was afraid of supernatural phenomena. She used to come into contact with various supernatural phenomena. , For example, there is a sudden strange sound in the house, blood stains are often seen in various places, and placed things will automatically change their orientation. Because she was too scared, soon after graduating from university, she simply joined this website specializing in the study of supernatural phenomena, so that she would feel more at ease staying with a large group of "experts".
Besides this only rookie, the other three are indeed experienced people.
Among them, the oldest person is the recording engineer Zhao Feng. Because the haunted house is likely to have the voice of ghosts, which may not be audible to human ears, but perhaps the instrument can record it. And Zhao Feng could feel where there might be ghosts gathering, and then recorded. In this regard, he is very confident. He has recorded many weird voices many times in the past.
There are two other people, one is Yan Ruixin, a spiritual recruiter. She was a person who successfully used a brush to recruit spirits when she was about ten years old. She also hosted a spiritual seance overseas. Ghosts, she will perform the seance. Another one is Tong Moyan, who has superpowers. He is the youngest person in this interview group, only sixteen years old. Although he is young, his superpowers are real. Not only can he see through, but he can also use his mind to image, record and write. When he was young, his parents discovered this ability, so he was taken to a casino by his father to see through the dice. People found out that his father was cheating and was hacked to death by casino people, but Mo Yan became famous because of this incident. After his mother died of illness, he was adopted by his aunt. Immediately after the Gate of Hades was established, he was asked to help, and he agreed. However, because of his childhood experience, this child has always been a little taciturn, and he is not very gregarious.
The car had already arrived in front of the green house where Mrs. Fujikiku lived.
The green house stands under the rock on the east side of Yueqing Mountain. It is not as luxurious as everyone imagined. It is an ordinary western courtyard building. The whole house is surrounded by a circular green grassland, and the whole house is also circular. Each has a door in the northwest, and the exterior is made of darker red brick walls. The grass in the entire courtyard is neatly built, which looks very comfortable.
After the car stopped, Shun Xuan, Yue Jie, and Shen Ang got out of the car first, and then the people in the next car also got out, and a group of seven people walked towards the green house along the path in front of the courtyard.
After knocking on the door, the person who came out to open the door was a forty-year-old woman with a bun, wearing a pair of glasses, looked at the visitor expressionlessly, and said, "Is it the interview team of the Gate of Hades? Please come in, madam has been waiting for a long time."
She seemed to be a housekeeper or something, because she was too straight to the point, and her expression was very rigid. For a while, Shunxuan didn't know how to greet her, so she nodded politely and said, "Then excuse me."
Walk along the corridor at the door to the center, and find that it is the center of the circular structure of the green house, which is also a huge circular living room. Mrs. Fujiju was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she saw Shunxuan and the others coming in, she stood up with a very indifferent expression, and said, "Please sit down, everyone..."
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while. Shunxuan had no choice but to speak first: "Mrs. Dong, hello... After the phone call yesterday, I am very grateful that you allowed us to enter the Pavilion of Dawn for a week of interviews..."
"Just the seven of you?"
It was natural for Mrs. Fujiju to ask this question prominently, but at this moment the lady's expression seemed to be scornful, which made people feel a little unpleasant for a while, and Shunxuan was stunned for a while.
"Yes, it is."
Then, the lady said: "Then... be careful. When you live there, you can freely allocate rooms and use various facilities. However, you haven't forgotten the conditions between us, have you?"
"Yes, yes, ma'am."
"That's good... I will let my butler accompany you to the Dawn Pavilion later. A week later... I look forward to seeing you again."
For some reason, Shunxuan felt a little weird.
The so-called condition means that during this week, all the keys of the entrances and exits of the Dawn House cannot be handed over to them for safekeeping, but the people in the green room are responsible for opening the door, and then lock the door and leave. Because the door of the House of Dawn needs a key to open it no matter whether it is inside or outside, so once it is locked, it means that they have to live in a closed state from the outside world for a week. It wasn't until a week later that the people from the Green Room would open the door again and let them go.
It's understandable that I don't want outsiders to have the keys to my deceased husband's residence, but living in a closed state for a week feels like being locked up. And this is a haunted house after all, no one knows if there will be any danger. But Shunxuan considered that this was an important clue to verify the mystery of his son's death, so he agreed.
"That's good... Since you are willing to accept my conditions, it is naturally the best."
Speaking of this, she said to the bespectacled housekeeper standing behind her waiting for orders: "Zhifang, you go with them to the Mansion of Dawn. Give them the key to the room in the mansion, and come back within an hour. Got it?"
"Yes. Understood, ma'am."
The questions and answers of the master and servant are too mechanical, and when they speak, they are completely expressionless, and their tone is very cold. Before entering the Pavilion of Dawn, everyone already felt that something was wrong.
After leaving the green house, Shunxuan asked the housekeeper to sit in his car and started the car. It was about half an hour away from the House of Dawn. Along the way, the housekeeper named Zhifang remained silent, which made it impossible for Shunxuan to talk to other people, otherwise he would appear contemptuous.
Finally, at the top of Yueqing Mountain, the Pavilion of Dawn emerged...
