Evening.
This is an inconspicuous village near Dadong City. The village is small, with few permanent residents and rare visitors, making it very quiet. Even in these supernatural tis, fierce ghosts have not invaded this village to break its peace.
However, today, the arrival of an ambulance piqued the curiosity of so villagers.
The vehicle drove all the way and finally stopped in front of a holiday villa built two years ago.
Subsequently, several dical staff wearing white coats, carrying various dical equipnt, entered this villa.
Soon after, the doors were tightly shut, and the high walls blocked so villagers’ curious eyes. Everything seed to return to calm.
Inside this holiday villa lives a pregnant woman.
Her na is Ah Zhen, and she has been here for five months.
With her big belly, life was inconvenient, but fortunately, each week soone would deliver a large amount of living supplies, so living alone posed no problems.
"Today shouldn’t be the day for delivering supplies," Ah Zhen thought as she curiously stepped out of her room upon hearing the commotion outside.
She knew that only a few had the privilege of entering and exiting this place. Only those authorized by Wang Chaling could open the doors; others who intruded would encounter unimaginable horrifying attacks, resulting in strange disappearances where even the bodies could not be found.
Just as Ah Zhen stepped out of her room, she saw a group of dical staff hurriedly approaching.
"You can proceed." A middle-aged man in a suit nodded imdiately upon seeing Ah Zhen.
Then, two dical staff mbers walked over and restrained Ah Zhen.
"What are you doing?" Ah Zhen asked in panic.
"Don’t be nervous. President Wang sent us. He ordered the fourth generation of the Wang Family to be born today, so please cooperate," said the middle-aged man in a suit forcefully, leaving no room for refusal.
Next, a dical staff mber glanced at a file: "There are six days left until the due date, but all indicators are normal. We’re ready for surgery."
"I... I understand..." Ah Zhen, being a smart woman, knew this day would co eventually, so she did not resist much.
Soon, dical staff brought a wheelchair, helped Ah Zhen sit down, and then took her into a room already prepared.
"Relax, the surgery will be over soon," the chief surgeon reassured her, adding, "Prepare the anesthetic."
Ah Zhen, filled with anxiety, underwent the surgery.
After administering the anesthetic, the chief surgeon watched the ti, waiting for it to take effect.
Once the ti arrived, he began the procedure imdiately.
His technique was highly skilled, and in less than ten minutes, the cry of a baby filled the room.
The middle-aged man in a suit, upon hearing the sound, imdiately made a phone call: "President Wang, the task is complete."
On the other end of the line, Wang Chaling also heard the baby’s cries, and his worried heart finally settled: "Proceed as I instructed before."
"Understood, President Wang."
The middle-aged man in the suit put down the phone and then watched his watch, waiting.
About half an hour later, the dical staff ca out of the room.
"Leave here imdiately, and rember, consider today as if nothing happened. You must not ntion it to anyone in the future. If any word leaks, everyone will die, including ," the middle-aged man in a suit sternly warned.
The others nodded repeatedly, having been paid a huge sum, enough to buy their lives.
Soon.
The middle-aged man in the suit led the dical staff away quickly.
Inside the holiday villa, only Ah Zhen, still under anesthesia, and the newborn baby remained.
However, at this mont, Wang Chaling in Dadong City also reached his limit. He lay on the small bed in the safe house and made the final arrangent to open the door to the safe house.
He knew he would inevitably beco a fierce ghost after death, and if the safe house was sealed, he would be trapped there forever, which was not what he wanted. After death, he wished to return to his child, becoming a ghost to guard the fourth generation of the Wang Family.
"I can finally be free," Wang Chaling thought, reviewing his life, realizing it was all in vain, and with a self-mocking smile, he took his last breath.
He died.
From now on, the spiritual world would no longer have the Wang Family’s third generation.
After death, Wang Chaling’s body underwent a horrifying transformation, quickly disintegrating as if weathered. Yet a black and white figure still lay on the bed, identical to Wang Chaling, like his very soul.
But this soul was cold and terrifying, like a sleeping fierce ghost instilling fear.
The Wang Family curse took effect.
Less than an hour after Wang Chaling beca a ghost, on the other side, the unconscious Ah Zhen slowly awoke.
Upon waking, Ah Zhen saw no one around, yet there was a tube in her arm, and beside her was a crib with a wrinkled pink baby lying inside.
"It seems the surgery was a success," said Ah Zhen, smiling at the baby, struggling to sit up but couldn’t move due to the remaining effects of the anesthetic.
Shortly after, Ah Zhen noticed a small box on her bedside table.
The box was beautifully wrapped, looking like a gift.
"Did Wang Chaling give this to ?" thought Ah Zhen as she opened the box.
Inside were three items.
A gold sheet of paper with several important addresses written on it.
A set of special keys.
And an old black-and-white photograph.
"This is the address of the safe house, and the keys," Ah Zhen imdiately recognized the first two items.
Because Wang Chaling had taken her to a safe house before, although only one. However, the gold paper recorded five safe houses, three in Dadong City, one in the basent of this house, and another in a different city.
The five safe houses were not only places for Ah Zhen to save her life in the future but also stored a vast amount of wealth, sufficient for her to live several lifetis extravagantly.
But what captivated Ah Zhen most was the last item.
As she picked up the old black-and-white photograph, she felt a little suspicious.
The photo’s background was an old Republic Era Ancient House, and in front of it stood six people: two elderly people with wrinkled faces at the back, a middle-aged couple in the middle, and at the front, Wang Chaling and... herself.
Among them, Ah Zhen in the photo was the most unique, for her position was the only colored one in the entire picture, and she was holding a baby, identical to the one in the crib beside her.
This was a bizarre family portrait.
"I don’t recall ever taking such a picture with Wang Chaling," thought Ah Zhen.
Yet at that mont.
The lights in the room started to flicker, and the surrounding air seemingly turned chilly.
With the flickering lights, Ah Zhen saw several shadows flickering across the room.
She was startled, wondering if she imagined it.
However, when Ah Zhen turned her head and looked at the crib again, her eyes imdiately widened, almost being engulfed by enormous fear.
Next to the crib stood five eerie figures, unreal like ghosts, monochro black and white.
Upon comparison, it was clear that these five ghosts matched the people in the photograph, and one of them resembled Wang Chaling.
Despite their hollow eyes and stiff, ghastly expressions, they did not harm the sleeping baby. Instead, they seed to protect it, nor did they harm Ah Zhen.
Because the family photo in Ah Zhen’s hand proved that the ghosts and she were family.
And ghosts do not harm family mbers.
Yet despite this, Ah Zhen could not accept such a horrifying sight.
"Ah!"
A terrified scream echoed in the dark room from Ah Zhen.
But after the scream, a baby’s loud cries followed.
With the cries, the five terrifying ghosts began to restlessly wander around the villa.
From now on.
This place will beco a new haunted house.
