There are only a few orange lights in the slightly dilapidated old residential area, and they are very dim and flickering.
There are a few street lights on the side of the gravel road, bringing a little bit of life to this remote residential area.
Just getting off the taxi, I felt a gust of wind blowing by my side. Yang Yi stood beside me and said softly, "Here we are."
He took me trotting to a house. There were two rusty iron rings hanging on the wooden gate. One side of the gate was wide open. Looking inside, there was a black hole.
There are traces of trampling on the weeds at the door, which seemed to be left by the members of their team when they entered. I raised my head slightly, preparing to climb over the wall to see what the house inside looks like.
It has to be said that this house is pitch-black, without the slightest trace of popularity, it really looks like a haunted house.
I stood at the door and asked Yang Yi to make a few more phone calls to his teammates, who knew they still couldn't get through, which made Yang Yi's face even more serious.
Seeing that he was about to rush in, I quickly grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive!"
I frowned, not daring to go in rashly. I turned on the backlight of my phone, took a little light at the door, and saw a part of the yard, but I still didn't step in at the end.
"I can't contact Grandpa An, but I sent him a message and passed him the address. I think if his mobile phone is turned on, he will call someone to support us."
I sat down on the steps and asked, "I think this mission should introduce the background of this haunted house, right?"
It is a very stupid thing to run into an old house with a haunted house without thinking. If you can understand the story behind the haunted house, it may be better to find out where the members went.
Yang Yi seemed to have thought of something, and took out a scroll from the schoolbag behind him.
The red rope tied up the scroll, and after I took it, I looked at it.
This house is said to have been built during the period of the Republic of China, when it was the residence of a family specializing in the textile industry.
I could still see a few large dye vats full of dust in the yard just now, and there were even several cracks on the edges, which seemed to be very old.
I quickly scanned the background of the haunted house on this scroll, and when I saw two words, I couldn't help but let out a "huh".
Japan.
I raised my head and nodded my chin. At that time, there were indeed Japanese people in our country's territory. At that time, there were also many Japanese people who had business dealings with businessmen in the Republic of China period.
But what was written on this scroll made me even more appalling.
According to the content, the owner of this house fell in love with a Japanese woman who was traveling in China, and then married her regardless of the opposition of her family.
At that time, it was a sensitive period. In order to prevent his family from being implicated, the male owner concealed his wife's background and nationality from the outside world. Later, for some reason, he was stabbed. The reason, destroyed overnight.
kindness
I saw the end of the bottom of the scroll, and none of the content told me the main reason for the genocide of this family.
I can't help but think of the Le family, and the Xuanyuan clan. The destruction of their families has its own reasons.
One is the internal conflict of the family, which led to the split of the two factions. One faction exterminates the other faction for its own selfishness and completely disregards the love of relatives, and even kills the clan members who have the same belief as itself.
The other was related to the political situation at that time. Because the Xuanyuan family had special abilities beyond ordinary people, this huge family became the target of public criticism.
What about this big family in the textile industry
The scroll did not disclose anything, but only told us that the male owner of the family married a Japanese woman as his wife. Later, this matter was revealed, so the family was wiped out.
Could it be that simple
I don't think so. I looked up at the quiet and gloomy big house and courtyard, bit my lower lip, and looked at the scroll again.
If things were as succinct and clear as described in the scroll, this quest wouldn't be S rank.
Yang Yi kept walking around me in a panic. I rubbed my forehead wearily and said, "Don't be impatient. It's useless to be impatient. We have to figure things out before we can act."
"Otherwise, the ending is very likely that even the two of us will be taken in. Let alone saving lives."
I didn't put my hope on the pervert. Recently, the yin and yang worlds are very unstable, and the pervert may not be able to come to help me in time.
I don't want to add any extra pressure and burden to him.
The content on the scroll must be hiding the most important part, but at this juncture, there are only two people in the An family who can contact me, and now they can't get through the phone.
Perhaps, during the period of our stay and stay outside, many changes may have taken place in this mysterious and terrifying house.
The idea of looking for Mo Jin was quickly dispelled, and it made sense for Yang Yi to ask me for help. After all, our relationship is much deeper than that of Mo Jin, whom I have only met for a few days.
In order to reduce unnecessary favors, I still decided that Yang Yi and I will act together first and go in to have a look.
Of course, in case Yang Yi and I were cut off from the outside world like those missing players, I left a message for Mo Jin—
On it was written the address of the house, and a chilling statement from me.
"If I don't return to school before tomorrow morning, or lose contact, I may need help from you and the Mo family."
"Are we ready to go in?"
Yang Yi put his hands together, rubbed his palms together, and asked with excitement and nervousness on his face.
I nodded and walked towards the half-open door with my mobile phone. At this moment, Yang Yi took out a flashlight from his backpack and said to me: "You should use this one. I have a lot of spare batteries. The mobile phone is very important. , or try to use as little electricity as possible.”
What he said made sense, and I put the phone away.
Because I left a backhand before entering the door, I felt a little more at ease.
The worst-case scenario is that Yang Yi and I are both missing, unable to leave this place, and unable to communicate with the outside world, but at the very least, Mo Jin knows where I am going and will find someone to help.
"Actually... this has always been a haunted house that cannot be sold." Yang Yi said to me in a low voice, as if trying to strengthen his courage.
I shrank back, held a flashlight in my hand, and took a picture around me, expressing my acquiescence to his words.
As long as there are rumors of a "haunted house" in this house, even if it is really just an ordinary dilapidated house, it will bring a lot of shadow to people's hearts.
Things that don't exist will be forced to be imagined by people's hearts as reality.
It is certain that it cannot be sold. Everyone has the idea that they would rather believe in something than nothing, and they would not buy this house if they were killed.
No matter how cheap it is.
"But, that boss just doesn't believe in evil, you know? Who knows, they just came here to experience living here for a day, and they plan to cancel their original plan to buy a house!"
"But it was too late, and the contract was signed. The house seller seemed to have evaporated from the world. He disappeared in an instant and could not be found anywhere. The boss had to entrust An Jia to drive away the ghosts in this house."
Yang Yi's voice made my heartbeat a lot calmer. Compared to the two of them not talking and exploring the way very quietly, there is a person making a little noise next to me, which can make me feel his presence.
Made me feel a lot more secure.
After entering the door, there is a house with a broken wooden door half open. There are no long corridors and arches in my image on the left and right. At a glance, you can vaguely see a few small houses.
We explored one by one, and I have to say, from the moment I came in, I knew whether this house was a haunted house.
I didn't feel the familiar nausea. When I walked into this place, I felt like I just came to an abandoned ordinary house. Occasionally, a few transparent souls would float by, but they all left in a hurry without staying.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place where there are any powerful evil spirits.
With the addition of a man by my side, I became more courageous and explored the houses one by one.
From the interiors of these houses, the overall layout, and the sophistication of the furniture, it can be seen that this big family that once used the textile industry as its family business was considered wealthy at that time.
Even after so many years, the interior of the house has become dilapidated, but it can still be seen that the family was once prosperous and prosperous.
There are no pagoda trees that attract ghosts in the yard, but ordinary big cypress trees mixed with a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees. I think that every autumn, the yard must be full of strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
I looked down at the ground, and on the thick soil and dust, I could vaguely see some footprints. Because the soil and weeds grew everywhere, the places where my feet stepped were soft.
Yang Yi took the flashlight to shine on the ground, squinted his eyes, wiped the sweat with his other hand, and pointed his fingers in one direction.
"The footprints lead there!"
We didn't say anything, and walked there with a flashlight.
It was a path leading to the backyard. After passing through a door, I saw the scene of the backyard.
It is a garden with these two houses, and a road runs between them.
The pattern of the garden is symmetrical, the left and right sides are the same. Although the flowers and plants in the yard have fallen due to neglect, the general pattern can still be seen.
I looked around carefully at the two houses, and found that they were built exactly the same. This strange back garden made me wonder.
But at such a time and such a place, I always feel that there are strange things everywhere in this yard, and a mysterious atmosphere blows over my face, and I can't help shivering.
The autumn breeze at night is cool, which is really suitable for the occasion.
Why build two identical houses here? And why are these two houses built in the garden
