Xie Yuchen looked at the cat corpses, bit his lower lip, and thought to himself, maybe the house has already killed a lot of things. It looks like all the larger animals near the house cant survive.
The degree of decomposition of these cats was different, and there wasnt a large number of them that had the sa degree of decay. This ant that the cats ca into the vicinity of the house one by one and then died for so reason.
This also ant that the house wasnt capable of attracting animals. The street cats here were only hunted as they passed by.
Is this house alive? Xie Yuchen had so experience in this area. He was often entrusted with so tricky items, so he knew that there was a phenonon called pseudo-intellectualism. These items had outward features that made you think that they were alive, but in fact, it was a collection of phenona. These phenona included the collective intelligence that ants and bees presented in biology: individual ants and bees werent intelligent, but they manifested collective intelligence when grouped in colonies. They used it to deal with a lot of problems, which made it look like they had wisdom. But non-living things resembled the will-o'-the-wisp in a fire. Due to the interference of carbon dioxide, the elusive fla deliberately avoided human beings.
In many cases, this was how evil forces were misrepresented, and stories eventually beca legends that involved ghosts and monsters. Xie Yuchen once encountered a building where people had continuously died over a thirty-year period. They eventually discovered that soone had buried radioactive tal blocks in the buildings load-bearing columns. In the end, it turned out to be an institute administrators revenge on society. (1)
But this incident didnt seem to be the sa. He needed to explore further in order to find an exact explanation for this.
The street cat he had been playing with followed him over. It wasnt afraid of the corpses, but it stood in front of Xie Yuchen with its unwavering stare fixed on the house. If they were to compare the blood on their hands, the house definitely wouldnt be able to win. Ive investigated so many dangerous and mysterious cases, but its sad how none of them have caused as much harm as I have.
With that being said, he wasnt soone who would continue living here just out of spite. He picked up the little street cat and said to himself, unlike your siblings, youre in luck. Ill take you to a safe place.
Xie Yuchen wanted to drop the cat off with a friend who liked animals and then drive to Ah Tous house, but the further he drove, the darker the sky beca. The trip was obviously taking longer than the actual distance to his friends house. While he was driving, he noticed that the cat kept looking at the back seat as if sothing was sitting there.
He looked in the rearview mirror and saw a man sitting in the back, but he couldn't see his face. As he continued looking in the mirror, he also seed to notice sothing hanging on a tree he had just driven past.
Xie Yuchen petted the cat's head and watched the man in the back seat start to move his head forward.
He had a sickly green face.
Xie Yuchen took out his phone and checked the group photo. After comparing the faces, he unexpectedly found that this face belonged to Dr. Pan Boda.
The face looked at him, but he just ignored it. The man even stuck his head right next to his face, but Xie Yuchen just kept slowly and steadily driving. Then, he saw two won standing on the side of the road up ahead, waving at him.
Xie Yuchen slowly drove towards them and saw Liang Yanyan and Ah Tou holding on to each other. He pulled over and checked the back seat, only to find that it was already empty.
The cat crawled up the front passenger seat's window and looked outside as Xie Yuchen rolled down the window. Liang Yanyan and Ah Tou looked at Xie Yuchen in horror, Boss, what brings you here?"
Xie Yuchen looked behind them and saw that Ah Tous house was unexpectedly lit up in the distance. He hadnt even been driving in this direction, nor had he driven the full distance to reach this place, so how did he get here? Xie Yuchen thought for a while, but when he saw that Ah Tou was moving to get into the car, he locked the doors, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
He wanted to see what consequences illogical actions would have on the present situation.
He drove for another three kiloters and saw two more people appear in front of him. As he approached them, he realized that it was Ah Tou and Liang Yanyan again. The two won were also confused as to why there was another car coming at them, and why it was Xie Yuchen again. But this ti, they didnt dare get closer to the car. Instead, Liang Yanyan pushed Ah Tou behind her.
Xie Yuchen got out of the car and looked at the sky. There were no moon or stars in the sky, and only a section of the road illuminated by the streetlights was bright. He walked a few steps forward before turning back, only to find that his headlights were suddenly very far away. They almost appeared to be several hundred ters away from him now.
But he had only taken a few steps.
It was the first ti he had ever faced such a hardcore paranormal event head-on, so he decided to take it seriously.
