Chapter 21： Haunted Mansion

Chapter 21 Haunted Mansion

Following [Adventurer Xiaoying]’s narration, the barrage immediately joined the discussion:

—This is a typical example of saying “If you don’t seek death, you won’t die!”

—It’s not a good idea to go anywhere. Go to a deserted mansion and a haunted house. It’ll be strange if nothing happens to you!

-Now what? This situation can't be solved by the anchor's calculations, right?

—Sister Xiaoying, can you watch the live broadcast but not call the police? It’s faster to call the police to rescue you than to call the anchor!

—I looked at the IP address of the anchor’s personal homepage, and it seemed to be from Pingcheng. This girl said she was from University F in Pingcheng. Does that mean they are in the same city?

—The anchor said there is resentment, will the girl be in danger?

…

【Adventurer Xiaoying】 saw the question on the barrage and explained with tears:

“I was so panicked at the time that I didn’t even think of calling the police.”

“And I am sure that I must have bumped into something unclean. At this time, I can only find people from Xuanmen, and Qingzhu Immortal Lord is my only connection..."

Netizens: ...what a god’s only connection!

This girl is in such a dangerous situation, but she still doesn't forget to be funny, which is enough.

Pei Anzhu ignored the barrage and said directly to [Adventurer Xiaoying]:

"The resentment around you seems to be strong, but it doesn't seem to be hurting you so far, so you stay where you are and don't run around."

“Tell me the address of the haunted house and I will rush over right away.”

“Also, don’t hang up during the live broadcast. I’ll change my phone to connect with you. I must know your situation at any time.”

[Adventurer Xiaoying] nodded hurriedly and said:

“The Abandoned Mansion is located in the west of Pingcheng, in the innermost alley of Longkang 2nd Road, Wenchang Street. The house number is 144. It is an independent old-fashioned house.”

Pei Anzhu estimated the distance and said:

“I’ll be there in forty minutes.”

After saying this, she switched to the live broadcast on her mobile phone, took her car keys, put her tool bag on her back, went straight out the door, and drove the car towards the haunted house.

In the live broadcast room, when the audience saw that Pei Anzhu did not speak, they took the initiative to type and chat with [Adventurer Xiaoying], telling her jokes to ease her fear and nervousness.

With the company of the audience, Xiaoying gradually became less scared.

Pei Anzhu's driving skills became more and more proficient, and he drove very fast and smoothly along the way.

Because she was doing fortune-telling while driving, she chose routes with the least amount of traffic and no traffic jams, and she didn't even encounter a red light.

Thirty-four minutes later, Pei Anzhu arrived at his destination.

The alley at Longkang 2nd Road on Wenchang Street was not wide enough for vehicles to drive in. She could only park the car at the entrance of the alley and trot in.

This is a very old alley, a bit like an old hutong.

But it is obvious that this place is desolate. Entering an alley, the doors and windows of every house are broken, and the bricks and tiles are collapsed. It seems that no one has lived there for a long time.

In the live broadcast room, there are Pingcheng locals who know this place well and give everyone popular science——

This area of ​​Wenchang Street and Longkang Road was once a wealthy area.

The houses here are all Western-style ancient buildings handed down from the old times. Most of them are small three-story Western-style buildings with gardens, which are very grand.

Those who have this kind of property at home must have ancestors who were either rich or noble, and their ancestors must have never been ruined or destroyed even after going through wars.

After the arrival of the new era, this place became a symbol of power and status.

In the years when the domestic economy developed most rapidly, many wealthy businessmen who came to Pingcheng to do business were proud to own a property on Wenchang Street.

But just twenty years ago, something happened here.

A family of five living in House No. 144 died mysteriously one night, and the death was miserable. The wounds on their bodies looked strange and did not look like they were caused by human tools.

But what is surprising is that the people living nearby did not hear anything unusual that night. Since then, there have been some strange rumors on Longkang 2nd Road.

It is said that No. 144 did something bad and evil spirits came to seek revenge; some said that they provoked something they shouldn't have provoked and died unexpectedly.

If it were just a rumor, that would be fine, but then many strange things happened.

First, the hostess of a family saw a strange figure appearing in house No. 144 at night. The figure was wearing red clothes and seemed to be dripping with blood.

Following that, in House No. 144, the sound of singing would often be heard in the middle of the night, singing the kind of opera that actors on stage were used to in the old days.

Later, there were families with cats and dogs, and these pets went crazy one after another, biting their owners and passers-by; there were even many couples who were originally in love, quarreled every day, and even wanted to kill each other with knives...

There are more and more strange things happening, and many people can no longer live here, so they gradually move away.

Longkang 2nd Road immediately became empty.

Later, a developer took a fancy to this place and wanted to buy the entire ancient building complex and turn it into a tourist attraction. The price had already been negotiated, but nothing happened.

I heard that the developer went crazy after returning.

Since then, no one has been to this place.

Over time, the Wenchang Street and Longkang Road area has become a famous forbidden area for deserted houses and haunted houses in Pingcheng, and the folk rumors are more and more outrageous.

But people cherish their lives, and few are willing to set foot in this place.

In recent years, with the rise of the live streaming industry, many adventure anchors and ghost-finding anchors have chosen this place as a gimmick to increase their viewing pleasure.

But without exception, the equipment failed halfway through the live broadcast.

No one knows what happened. They only know that all the anchors who have been here have disappeared from the live broadcast industry since then.

Some people said they were killed by the ghosts here, while others said they changed careers.

In short, this place is becoming more and more dangerous and mysterious.

Until this time, students from the Adventure Club of Pingcheng F University were in danger here and entered Pei Anzhu's live broadcast room by chance.

Only then did the situation here reveal the tip of the iceberg.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were a little worried after seeing these popular sciences:

—The equipment of the previous anchors would malfunction here, will it not be the same this time?

-No! I want to see the live version!

—I still don’t think it’s true. Is this a gimmick created by the Pingcheng Tourism Development Bureau to attract tourists from other places?

—Are you thinking too much upstairs?

—Then how do you explain that [Adventurer Xiaoying]’s mobile live broadcast has not been interrupted so far?

-how could I know? You can ask Fairy Qingzhu later and she will explain!

…

While there was a lot of discussion on the barrage, Pei Anzhu was already standing at the gate of No. 144.

It has been exactly forty minutes since she set off.

What appeared in front of Pei Anzhu was a three-story small foreign-style building with a vermilion door. The lock on the door had been damaged, and it was obvious that it had been pried open.

I don’t know whether the person who picked the lock was the previous ghost-detecting anchor or the group of students inside.

Pei Anzhu opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a huge wave of resentment rushed towards his face. Black shadows transformed into a human face in mid-air, roaring at Pei Anzhu:

“A Taoist man! Excellent tonic!!”
