Chapter 42 Pen Spirit
Qin Liu did not expect Liu Haoyu to open the coffin lid so directly, but seeing that the person was safe and sound, she couldn’t help but complain.
“Do you have superhuman strength?”
Liu Haoyu ignored Qin Liu’s words and looked at the coffin behind him.
The ghost child who should have been holding him had disappeared without a trace.
It must have run away.
Compared to himself, this ghost seemed to be more afraid of Qin Liu.
“Chase.”
Liu Haoyu had finally found a clue and naturally wouldn’t give up so easily.
So many people had already died in this house, and if he didn’t deal with it quickly, he would be a disgrace to his title as a ghost exorcist.
“Hey, hey, hey! Wait for me.”
While waiting, Qin Liu had been feeling like something was staring at her, so she was a little uneasy and immediately followed.
The ghostly shadow fled all the way up the stairs, and Liu Haoyu chased after it.
Soon they reached the third floor.
However, upon reaching the third floor this time, Liu Haoyu discovered that the third floor, which originally had only four rooms, now had an extra door.
The door was dilapidated, with a faded red paper pasted above it.
No one knew where this suddenly appearing door led.
Liu Haoyu looked at the strong resentment emanating from behind the door and immediately sounded the alarm in his heart.
This resentment… was exactly the same as the resentment of the haunted house.
What was going on?
“By the way, don’t you think the aura of this house is very strange?”
Qin Liu floated in mid-air, and because she knew Liu Haoyu couldn’t see her, she crossed her legs impolitely.
“It feels exactly like my house.”
“Indeed it is…”
Liu Haoyu placed his hand on the door, and after some hesitation, he gently pushed it open a crack to check the situation inside.
He did not see the black shadow in the empty room.
But the candle Liu Haoyu was holding was still burning.
This meant that the black shadow was hiding in some corner inside.
Qin Liu, who was peeking, said.
“It wouldn’t be hiding somewhere and then suddenly attack us when we go in, catching us off guard…”
Hearing Qin Liu’s soft voice, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but tease.
“How about you go in first to scout the way? I’ll give you two bottles of Sprite and five bags of chips when we get back.”
“My life is too cheap, isn’t it?!”
“Just kidding.”
Of course, Liu Haoyu wouldn’t let Qin Liu scout the way. He gently pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Qin Liu followed him, but as soon as they entered, a shrill and terrifying scream came from the room, scaring Qin Liu so much that she almost retreated back into Hong Yu.
However, it was only a scream, and nothing terrifying suddenly appeared.
Qin Liu observed the room and found that the bed here was very small, like a child’s bedroom.
However, on the floor of the bedroom, for some reason, there was a book, and on the book, there was a pen.
Seeing this, Qin Liu seemed to have thought of something.
Isn’t this the Pen Spirit game from some horror literature works?
At this time, Liu Haoyu also picked up the book in the center of the room and after carefully examining it, said.
“Summoning the Pen Spirit? What a death-seeking expert.”
The prototype of the Pen Spirit is actually a simplified version of “Fu Ji,” one of China’s oldest witchcrafts.
But no matter how simplified it is, it is still a ritual to summon ghosts.
It was clear that everyone in this room had died at the hands of this Pen Spirit.
And from the questions asked through the book.
It was clearly the work of Zhu Xingxue’s son.
This child was desperate to know where his younger sister was.
So he found the answer through the ritual of summoning the Pen Spirit.
But as the saying goes, it’s easy to summon a ghost, but hard to send it away.
Those who are not professionals can summon ghosts, but may not be able to send them away, so this family died at the hands of this Pen Spirit.
However, by the normal standards, this ritual of summoning spirits was not so easy to complete.
It required a lot of resentment, so this leads back to another question, where did the resentment in this house come from.
Now, Liu Haoyu had found the answer.
In the center of the room was a formation drawn with chicken blood.
Although it was crooked, it was indeed operating.
After careful inspection, Liu Haoyu discovered that the formation was summoning the resentment from the haunted house.
But this crooked formation was clearly a formation used to connect to the earth’s veins.
Could it be that the earth’s veins were polluted by resentment?
If that were the case, it would be no wonder why supernatural events had been occurring so frequently in Jiangliu City recently.
Even the driver who was killed ten years ago could come out to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu seemed to understand what the Black Book had said.
Why investigate this case? Because if they didn’t hurry to find the source of the resentment in the haunted house.
The entire area within a hundred-mile radius might really be destroyed.
Liu Haoyu began to search the room.
Soon, he found a pool of blood on the ground.
Judging by the size of the bloodstain, it was not difficult to conclude that it was the brother who summoned the Pen Spirit.
After asking the question, he was killed by the fierce ghost, and after killing him, the fierce ghost killed Zhu Xingxue and his wife in their sleep.
“Wuwuwu…”
A low sobbing came from the room, which was the sister’s voice.
“Brother… there are bad people outside.”
Following the sound, Liu Haoyu came to the wardrobe.
And after sensing Liu Haoyu’s arrival, there was no more sound from inside the wardrobe.
Perhaps for the brother and sister hiding inside, Liu Haoyu, wearing a gas mask and holding a fire axe, was the real ghost.
“Come out.”
Upon hearing Liu Haoyu’s words, the wardrobe trembled.
Then the wardrobe slowly opened, revealing only two dark shadows inside.
And a timid and trembling male voice.
“Don’t… don’t kill us.”
“Did your sister do it to the two university students who died in the coffin downstairs?”
“No… no!” The brother retorted loudly, “My sister never killed anyone! She is good, a good person!”
Compared to his sister, who didn’t know how long she had been dead, the brother, who had died not long ago, had a more complete soul and a certain level of intelligence, but it was only the remaining instinct to protect his sister.
However, because of his sister’s murderous intent towards him before, Liu Haoyu chose to continue probing.
“Then who did it?”
“It was my dad!” The brother said without hesitation, “My dad killed those two people, fed them to the Pen Spirit, and then stuffed the corpses into the coffin.”
“Oh?”
After hearing the brother’s words, Liu Haoyu looked at the weak strength of the brother and sister again. After thinking, he decided to temporarily believe his statement.
However, being able to kill two university students meant that Zhu Xingxue might have become a ghost servant of a fierce ghost.
Liu Haoyu took out the hair of the white-clothed fierce ghost from his pocket.
At this moment, the strand of hair trembled with excitement.
