Chapter 512: Chapter 512 Haunted House Chapter 512: Chapter 512 Haunted House However, no matter who was on the other end of the phone, it had to be soone familiar. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for them to call his phone after kidnapping Zhao Xuanglang.
She had called Zhao Xuanglang several tis, but all went straight to voicemail. It seed highly likely that sothing had indeed happened to him. After all, Zhao Xuanglang did call her “boss,” and she really couldn’t just do nothing if he was in danger!
After so thought, Zhong Niangyao called Lu Yichen. But she had no idea what Lu Yichen was doing because, unusually, he did not answer her call. After leaving a ssage, she got into a taxi and headed for the location ntioned by the caller.
In just a short while, the taxi arrived at a desolate house in the suburbs.
From the outside, the house looked dilapidated; the walls were mottled, and the window glass was broken. Weeds had overgrown the surroundings.
One could tell at a glance that this place had been uninhabited for a long ti.
Additionally, she faintly sensed a barely noticeable yin energy from within the house—it must have been the site of so horrific events. Such places were likely to attract ghosts, which is probably why people referred to it as a haunted house.
The driver, looking at Zhong Niangyao’s destination, even trembled as he spoke, “Young… young lady, why… why are you heading to such a place?”
After he spoke, cold sweat appeared on his forehead and he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Why do you look so frightened, Uncle Driver?” Zhong Niangyao smiled and said, “It’s not really that scary here!”
“Young lady, don’t you know this place? This is a well-known haunted house!” The driver seed eager to drive away imdiately, “It’s said that a happy family of three once lived here, but one night, several robbers invaded. They assaulted the lady and her daughter before torturing the entire family to death. Even a veteran detective was horrified by the brutality of it.”
“However, the police quickly caught those robbers. But then, strange things happened—the robbers were already locked up in the police station, yet they ended up dying mysteriously in this house, in more grueso ways than the family they killed. It’s said that their bodies were so mutilated that the police couldn’t even find all the parts.”
As he said this, the driver lowered his voice a lot, “Many people speculate that these deaths were caused by the ghost of the house’s master, seeking revenge. Since then, this house has beco famously haunted.”
“Maybe it’s just rumors spreading rumors,” Zhong Niangyao laughed and shook her head, “I’m just here to explore with friends.”
“What?”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, the driver was terrified and quickly tried to persuade her, “Young lady, at your young age, why engage in such dangerous activities like exploring haunted houses? This isn’t just a rumor; it’s a genuinely haunted house!”
“Do you know? Before you, several other daring groups tried to explore this haunted house. Do you know what happened to them?”
“What happened?” Zhong Niangyao followed up.
“All of those explorers died unnatural deaths,” the driver said earnestly, “So, young lady, you should cherish your life!”
Seeing that the driver was about to continue lecturing, Zhong Niangyao quickly spoke, “Uncle Driver, I think you’re absolutely right, so I’ve decided not to go on any ghost house exploration.”
“That’s very wise of you,” satisfied by her response, the driver nodded, “Let take you back then! This place has too much yin energy to linger around.”
“No need.”
Zhong Niangyao shook her head before the driver could say anything else, “Uncle Driver, my friends and I agreed to et here. If they arrive and can’t find , they’ll be worried. You go ahead! I’ll leave with them when they get here.”
“I should stay and wait with you!”
Though the driver also wanted to leave this sinister place, he felt it was too dangerous for Zhong Niangyao to wait alone.
“No need,” Zhong Niangyao laughed and shook her head, “My friends will be here soon, and they are driving. They will take back with them.”
“But—”
The driver looked at Zhong Niangyao, a frail young girl, and worried deeply. Not only was this place close to the haunted house, it was also in the middle of nowhere. If sothing happened, he would be haunted by guilt forever.
Seemingly noticing the driver’s concern, Zhong Niangyao smiled, “Uncle Driver, don’t let my appearance fool you. I’m a Third Black Belt in Taekwondo! Plus, I’ve been learning Sandakfa recently. Trust , I can take on three or five burly n without breaking a sweat.”
The driver looked at Zhong Niangyao doubtfully.
However, in the end, he believed her words. After all, no young girl would joke about her own safety.
Soon, the driver turned around and left.
In an unnoticed mont, Zhong Niangyao ford a hand seal with her right hand, then waved it towards the departing taxi. Imdiately, a faint white light flashed over the taxi and it disappeared.
The driver, still driving, felt sothing odd, but after looking out the window and seeing nothing unusual, he dismissed it.
It was just a simple evil banishing spell.
Being too close to the haunted house and staying for too long might have allowed him to pick up so yin energy. Although it wouldn’t endanger his life, it might bring him bad luck over the next few days.
What she had done was just to dispel that yin energy.
Although the driver was sowhat talkative, he was a warmhearted person. Moreover, a faint golden light surrounded him, a sign of accumulated rit.
She always showed extra kindness to such good people.
Once the taxi had completely vanished from sight, Zhong Niangyao turned around and walked towards the haunted house.
Pushing the flimsy-looking door open, a creaking sound, particularly grating in the eerie silence of the house, echoed sharply.
