I didn't say anything, just listened.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Elder Li continued: "That friend of mine came to find me a few times, and I've helped him look for me. That place is pretty good, but it shouldn't be a problem in this aspect, although I know a little about mystical arts, I'm not as knowledgeable as you, a proper Taoist. So, I wanted Brother Shangguan to come and take a look, if this can be solved, then my friend will not mistreat Brother Shangguan …"

After hearing what Elder Li had said, I coughed and said, "Killing demons and protecting the Dao is our duty as Taoists. As for what we did not mistreat you, let's not mention it for the time being. Can Elder Li tell me about the current situation of the place?"

"So, Brother Shangguan, you agree?" Elder Li was excited for a moment.

"I can go take a look. As for whether or not I can handle this matter, that's up to you. After all, I just joined the sect not long ago. In terms of skill, I'm still lacking a bit." I said humbly.

"As long as Brother Shangguan is willing to go, then there will be room for discussion. I'll thank you on behalf of my friend. He's been worrying so much that he can't sleep well, he can't even eat, he's skinnier by more than a dozen pounds …" Elder Li stood up excitedly, wishing that he could pull me over right now.

I indicated that Elder Li should sit down and not be too agitated. He slowly told me about the situation in that place, and then he sat down and continued, "That comprehensive commercial building is not very big, and the construction site is not considered remote. At the beginning, there were people who rented that place, but after renting it for a period of time, they said that the place was haunted, and during the day, when it was dark, all sorts of strange things would happen. "It's already very strange that they don't have any intention of committing suicide …"

After pausing for a moment, Elder Li continued, "Later on, there was an even stranger thing. There was a woman sitting in an elevator, and she was clearly alone in it. She kept feeling that someone was touching him, and she even breathed cold air into the back of her neck. When she went out to look in the mirror, she found five clear finger marks on her arm. "When someone was going to the toilet alone, they could hear someone walking around barefooted in the toilet. The movement was very light, and one could even hear the crying of women and children in the toilet …"

"A group of people had just lived in that place, and they were all panic-stricken by this place. After a while, no one dared to live in that place, and now that place has become a ghost. Other than a few security guards, the area and the business district are completely empty, not a single person …"

After hearing Elder Li's words, I had a rough idea of what was going on. First of all, it was certain that that place was haunted.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many strange things happening.

This reminded me of the incident not long ago when Eldest Martial Brother and I met Mao Hou.

Back then, the youngest senior sister's father, Yang Tao, had also developed a building and just bought a plot of land. While he was demolishing the building and building the house, three workers successively died.

I was just thinking, why did such a strange thing happen to me again?

The only difference was that one of them was in the process of being built and the other was already finished.

Was there something similar to a Mao Roar stirring up trouble in that building?

If that's really the case, then I don't dare to recklessly go past by myself. Last time, I was lucky enough to escape, but this time, I don't think I'll have that kind of luck.

I sat there drinking tea while thinking about things silently. Seeing that I didn't say anything, Elder Li asked: "Brother Shangguan, what do you think is the situation?"

I put down my teacup and looked at Elder Li. "Elder Li, you said that you went there to take a look. What do you think of the situation there?"

Elder Li pondered for a moment before saying to me with a frown, "I've only been there twice. The first time I went was during the day, but I felt a chill as soon as I entered the district. It was very depressing. The second time I went was on the night just a week ago. At that time, I was alone, walking back and forth in the building with my flashlight, and I felt very uncomfortable with it, as if something was staring at me from the shadows, but when I turned my head to look, I did not see anything, and when I reached the deepest part of the building, the cold feeling became more obvious, and I could hear some strange sounds from time to time. Sometimes, there were people walking around, and I sometimes felt that someone was talking in a low voice, but I could not find them.

I nodded and looked up at the clock hanging in the room. It was already six or seven o'clock in the afternoon.

I straightened my body and asked, "Elder Li, that building isn't that far from us. Can we go over to take a look now?"

Hearing my question, Elder Li said, "It's not far from here, only a few dozen li away. But it's already time to finish dinner. Why don't we go talk to my friend, then we can go over after dinner?"

"No need, I just ate not too long ago. I don't think it's good if I try it on another day. Let's go over and take a look now." I stood up, picked up the Cosmic Bag, and called Old Li over.

Elder Li was still a little embarrassed, saying that no matter what, he had to inform that friend of his about it. Thus, he left, showing that he didn't pay any attention to me at all.

I didn't have much of an opinion on these matters. I just told him to call his friend and inform him to at least let us go, so that we wouldn't be caught as thieves.

Elder Li was stubborn, so he packed a few things and followed me out the door.
