73: Chapter 31: Thigh and Teammates_3
“I know, I know!
Please co in!”
Once he ntioned leaving, the other party hurriedly opened the door and respectfully handed over a pair of slippers.
Dongsheng Cen walked into the room and, as he moved further inside, he looked around while casually asking,
“What do I call you?”
“Just call
Xiao Chen,” she replied.
Miss Chen didn’t close the door and kept a certain distance as she followed him, her attitude sowhat timid.
Dongsheng Cen glanced at her face.
The dark circles under her eyes were heavy, and her face was marked with an indescribable fatigue.
It seed like she hadn’t rested for a while.
“Miss Chen, haven’t you been sleeping well recently?”
“…Yes, ever since… ever since the house beca haunted, I haven’t been able to sleep at night.”
She answered with a bitter smile.
According to Miss Chen, she had rented the apartnt.
The landlord was nice, the location was close to her office, and the facilities nearby were well-equipped.
She thought she had found a perfect place to live, but just two months after moving in, trouble began.
“I signed a contract.
If I leave before three months are up, I can’t get my deposit back.
When I ntioned the haunting, the landlord wouldn’t believe
and even thought I was trying to scam him.
He almost called the police.”
Miss Chen rambled on.
“I was planning to endure for another two weeks before moving out, but recently it’s been too chaotic.
I can’t even go to work properly…”
Dongsheng Cen pondered thoughtfully.
Miss Chen’s statents were fragnted, which wasn’t surprising, as she was an ordinary person who didn’t know much, but soone experienced like him could quickly grasp the critical information.
For instance—
The threat posed by the ghosts.
The fact that she was thinking of “leaving in two weeks” rather than fleeing imdiately, the biggest concern being “too chaotic”…
This indicated that Miss Chen was sowhat thick-skinned, and it also implied that the ghosts hidden in this apartnt had no intention to kill.
Moreover, he could see that besides the deficiency of yang energy, there were no other obvious abnormalities on her—this could be due to the influence of the ghosts, or simply because she hadn’t been resting well, which had led to a decline in her physical condition.
“So, you turned to online forums for help?”
“Yes, I heard about it from a forr classmate of mine.
He was saved by soone he t on the forum… After experiencing it myself, I had no choice but to believe.”
“I rember you said it was in the bathroom?”
“Yes, yes, when I was showering… sotis I would see them, and once while I was cooking in the kitchen, under the sink, I could see… what seed like human eyes, staring at .”
As she spoke about this, fear finally appeared on Miss Chen’s face.
It was clear that the incident had left a deep psychological scar.
“You could still not move out after that?”
“I had no choice, I’m on my own out here, without much money and my family can’t help either…”
Miss Chen gave an embarrassed laugh.
“I still hope to get the deposit back…”
“I see.”
Dongsheng Cen nodded.
“Let’s prepare to start then.”
“Start, start now?
Are we starting right now?”
“Of course.
I’ll check the bathroom first.”
Miss Chen couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
“Don’t we need to prepare anything?”
When she saw him arrive alone and empty-handed, she already found it strange.
In her mind, a Taoist would bring talismans, and a Monk would carry a wooden fish, and there would be setting up altars or such.
She’d seen witches and wizards in her village perform soul summoning sessions, and exorcism always seed to involve a grand display.
Even western priests would bring a cross or sothing, right?
But he had co with nothing but casual clothing.
And now, the man who announced he was about to begin the exorcism had only prepared by…
Stretching his body, rubbing his fists, and cracking his knuckles loudly.
Is…
is he really here to catch ghosts, or was he planning to beat soone up?!
Considering the aura of the young man in front of her, he indeed seed more like a hitman from gangster movies or so kind of retired military officer rather than an exorcist…
Miss Chen swallowed, now genuinely considering the idea of fleeing from the apartnt.
“Preparation?
Not necessary.”
The young man replied coldly.
“It’s just a small fry.”
