Chapter 29 Cenotaph
Seeing such a strange and unexplainable situation, Liu Haoyu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, confirmed his location, and said.
“We are on a hill on the east side of Jiangquan City.”
“Ah?”
Because they had just walked out of the tomb, Deng Xiaolin was a little nervous. She shrunk behind Liu Haoyu and asked in confusion.
“East side? I remember your house was on the west side.”
The haunted house is sixty kilometers away from here.
This means that during the time the two were exploring the corridor on the first floor of the haunted house, they instantly teleported sixty kilometers?
What is going on?
This was the first time Liu Haoyu had encountered such an outrageous thing. He reconfirmed the time again and again.
It was now 12:13 AM. He and Deng Xiaolin had left the bedroom at 10 AM.
After entering the pitch-black corridor on the first floor, they pursued for three minutes.
The result was that when they could see clearly again, they had already arrived on a hill sixty kilometers away.
To understand what happened, Liu Haoyu took out the black book.
He found a blank space and was about to write down his doubts when the black book itself displayed lines of bloody text.
“This is a supernatural event that has never been recorded from ancient times to the present. The strength of the fierce ghost is beyond imagination.”
“Even you now understand what kind of terror you are facing.”
“Don’t try to take shortcuts. Your task is to gradually uncover the mystery of the haunted house according to the existing clues.”
“Investigate the truth about the deaths of Zhu Xingxue and his family of three as soon as possible.”
“Finally, I’ll give you a piece of advice: the fierce ghost in the haunted house is by no means kind. Please remain vigilant at all times.”
“This teleportation is a warning from her for you to move around the house.”
Liu Haoyu frowned.
Was this teleportation caused by Qin Liu?
Although this possibility was very high, after all, she had been eager for him to leave the house quickly.
But the problem was… if she could really achieve this level of supernatural power, why would she hide it and not use it?
“Hao-ge?” While Liu Haoyu was thinking, Deng Xiaolin weakly asked, “What should we do now? Go back to Jiangquan City?”
Under normal circumstances, returning to Jiangquan City would be the best option.
Liu Haoyu looked at the tomb behind him. It was a very old cenotaph, with no names on it. It was located alone in this place.
The weeds had even covered the entrance. If he hadn’t just come out of this opening, he probably wouldn’t have known that one could enter the tomb from here.
“Uh… Hao-ge, you’re not thinking of going in, are you? I don’t think we’ll be teleported back to your house after going in.”
“Of course, I know we won’t be teleported back.”
Liu Haoyu said thoughtfully.
“But I think we still need to go in and take a look.”
“Ugh…”
Deng Xiaolin let out a mournful cry.
She was already scared to death by Qin Liu, and then she inexplicably came to this desolate place.
Now Liu Haoyu even wanted to go in and take a look.
With the boost of multiple buffs, her desire to explore and curiosity about ghosts had long since disappeared.
Deng Xiaolin was now homesick.
She even missed her grandfather, who always had a stern face.
Seeing the fear in Deng Xiaolin’s eyes, Liu Haoyu said.
“Do you want me to send you back first?”
“No, no. It’s too troublesome to go back and forth. Since Hao-ge wants to go in so much, then I… I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Deng Xiaolin’s persistence, Liu Haoyu didn’t say anything more. He turned on his flashlight again and re-entered the passage from the entrance of the tomb.
However, unlike when they came, this time the flashlight beam could illuminate the situation inside the tomb passage.
When they came before, no matter how the flashlight shone, it was pitch black.
Now, at least they could see the way.
“It seems… not as scary as I imagined.”
Perhaps this is how human thoughts and instincts work. When in groups, people generally don’t feel much fear.
Just like in many horror movies, to create scary scenes, the characters are often made to walk alone in very thrilling and dangerous places.
When three or two people appear together, this chilling feeling disappears a lot.
This was currently the case for Deng Xiaolin.
She began to boldly observe the situation in the tomb passage and said softly with a little emotion.
“Is this really a cenotaph? Why is the area below so large?”
“No one knows, and it seems like no one has entered this tomb passage for a very, very long time.”
“Usually, no one dares to enter such a place, right? What if a red-haired zombie pops out?”
Deng Xiaolin nervously looked at the situation in the tomb passage, but Liu Haoyu shook his head and said.
“There is no obvious resentment in the tomb, so the probability of encountering a ghost is not high. Besides, you can see ghosts, aren’t you afraid of that?”
“That’s a different matter!”
Deng Xiaolin retorted immediately.
“Think about it, if you encounter a lonely coffin in a place like this, and it slowly opens after you approach… wouldn’t that be scary?”
“Scary? Just nail it back shut.”
Liu Haoyu retorted, leaving Deng Xiaolin speechless.
As they talked, they did not forget to observe the situation in the tomb passage.
Especially Liu Haoyu, as a ghost catcher, he couldn’t miss any clue.
The tomb passage did not have ornate decorations, but from the pottery scattered on the ground, it was not difficult to see that the owner of this cenotaph should have been a person with some assets during his lifetime.
For some unknown reason, he ended up with no remains, leaving only a cenotaph.
Liu Haoyu picked up a piece of pottery from the ground and looked at the ancient traces on it, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“If only these porcelains were all intact…”
“What? Hao-ge, do you want to rob graves to make big money?”
Deng Xiaolin was now in a mood to joke.
To this, Liu Haoyu said seriously.
“How could that be possible? As a five-star good citizen, how could I engage in the buying and selling of national cultural relics.”
“Heh heh~”
Deng Xiaolin did not believe him at all.
As the two chatted, the tomb passage finally reached its end.
With such a long tomb passage, this could never be an ordinary cenotaph.
So, with a heavy heart, Liu Haoyu slowly pushed open the large door.
Amidst the choking dust, the two finally entered the tomb chamber.
However, there was no coffin or treasure in the tomb chamber.
There was only a spirit tablet placed alone in the center of the room.
Although it was covered with dust, and the birth and death dates and other text were blurred, Liu Haoyu still saw a line of text in the middle.
“Tomb of Qin Liu.”
