Chapter 12 Heavy Voice
Deng Shuyuan walked ahead, still not recovered from the stress, so he kept looking back from time to time.
Every time he turned back, Liu Haoyu silently moved a step further away from him.
“Cough, cough, Brother Liu, where should we go now?”
Hearing Deng Shuyuan’s question, Liu Haoyu thought for a moment and said.
“The commission states that the villa owner’s room is on the third floor. Let’s go up and check the situation first. That fierce ghost must be watching us from somewhere, so before that, let’s get the commission task settled for him.”
“Brother Liu, but isn’t the computer also a square thing with a mirror?”
“Indeed.”
Liu Haoyu felt a headache after hearing this, and then he sighed.
“Then it seems we still need to find a way to deal with this fierce ghost first.”
“So, where are we going?”
Deng Shuyuan, who was at the front, was very uneasy. He desperately needed a clear direction to move forward.
In response, Liu Haoyu thought about it and decided to go to the villa owner’s bedroom.
After indicating the destination to Deng Shuyuan, the blond guy started leading the way.
Up the stairs.
The stairs were very spacious, and the decoration on both sides was very beautiful.
In the middle of the stairs, there were tiles as bright as roses, but in this environment, these tiles looked as if they were stained with blood.
Arriving on the third floor, the two passed by a room.
The door to this room was missing. Looking inside through the open door, Deng Shuyuan saw something that terrified and yet felt familiar.
It was the life-sized figure of that anime character?!
Seeing this thing, Deng Shuyuan shivered with fright, and then he quickly closed the door.
Liu Haoyu, behind him, seeing him so flustered, asked.
“What did you see?”
Deng Shuyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Inside this room… there’s a very scary doll.”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu immediately gripped the door handle, took a deep breath, and then gently opened the door to look inside.
There was indeed a life-sized figure in the room, standing by the bed.
When the door was opened, it didn’t rush out directly, nor did it suddenly turn its head.
It just stood there quietly, without any movement.
Liu Haoyu closed the door. Looking at the candle in his hand, he couldn’t help but sigh.
The candle had never gone out since it was lit, so Liu Haoyu couldn’t determine if there was a ghost in the room.
“Let’s go.”
The two walked along the corridor on the third floor and quickly arrived at the room of the villa owner.
Deng Shuyuan carefully pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Liu Haoyu followed closely behind.
As soon as they entered, before the two could react, the LCD display screen in the room lit up.
Pale blue radiance illuminated the dark room.
But no one pressed the switch, it just lit up out of nowhere.
At this moment, a line of terrifying blood-red text appeared on the screen.
“Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly… live?”
And below this line of blood-red text, there was a whole row of options.
“yes/yes/yes…”
Seeing this option, Deng Shuyuan’s heart was filled with confusion.
A temptation and attraction that could not be described in words appeared in his heart.
At this moment, the blond guy slowly reached out his hand, trying to click on the ‘yes’ on the screen.
But at this moment…
“Bang!!”
The screen shattered.
Deng Shuyuan came back to his senses and saw Liu Haoyu standing in front of him. The fire axe in his hand had directly chopped into the middle of the LCD display screen.
The entire screen shattered, and the damaged screen was covered with red, white, and blue lines.
The blood-red text disappeared.
Deng Shuyuan was able to regain his consciousness.
He stood there, panting heavily.
“Thanks, Brother Liu…”
“You’re welcome.”
Liu Haoyu kicked the LCD display screen, making the room completely safe.
Deng Shuyuan, after regaining his senses, tried to find the villa owner’s computer, but that computer didn’t seem to be in the bedroom.
Deng Shuyuan sat down on the bed. He took a moment to recover and said.
“Damn it, if I had known the ghosts here were so powerful, I wouldn’t have taken this deadly commission.”
In Deng Shuyuan’s original plan, he thought this was just a fierce ghost who had killed someone.
These fierce ghosts were indeed difficult for Deng Shuyuan to deal with, but they were a piece of cake for Liu Haoyu.
So even though he heard that this place was very strange, he still called Liu Haoyu.
Because the reward was generous, in a sense, it was sharing both blessings and hardships.
Unexpectedly, before the money was even in hand, he was about to be destroyed.
“Let’s rest for a while.”
Liu Haoyu also planned to rest. The night was still long, and catching ghosts required patience.
“I really envy your strength and nerves, Brother Liu.”
Deng Shuyuan was a bit emotional seeing Liu Haoyu looking so unfazed.
“I was almost scared to death, but you don’t seem to be affected?”
“Of course I have feelings,” Liu Haoyu shrugged and replied, “but I’m used to these scares. The most important thing is to face fear. Only by facing fear can you find hope for survival.”
“Easier said than done…”
How could Deng Shuyuan not know this logic, but when such a situation really occurred, who could easily maintain their inner composure?
At least Deng Shuyuan thought he couldn’t.
The two rested in the room, without further conversation.
Liu Haoyu placed the candles around the room for vigilance.
Deng Shuyuan sat on the bed, touching the back of his neck from time to time, afraid of that feeling of being breathed on again.
Because no one was speaking, the room was very quiet at the moment.
But faintly, the two in the room seemed to hear a sound.
“Thump… thump… thump… thump…”
The sound was distant, but it landed heavily.
And the interval between the sounds was very long, making it sound quite rhythmic.
But with every landing, Deng Shuyuan’s nerves tensed a little more.
The sound was getting closer.
Liu Haoyu took out the fire axe and signaled Deng Shuyuan to be quiet.
Then, he tiptoed to the door and put his ear against it.
The heavy landing sound outside continued.
However, as if it had passed this room, the sound began to gradually move away.
Liu Haoyu gripped the door handle and twisted it gently, opening the door a crack.
Everything outside was normal, the corridor was still dark and quiet, as if the heavy sound had never existed.
But when Liu Haoyu looked at the corridor on the other side, his expression became serious.
He clearly remembered that the door to that room.
Was closed.
But now, it had been opened…
