Chapter 528 Haunted
It is rare to see a lively scene inside Lingyun Temple.
Bai Xiaotian and Shen Ao were playing chess, while Liu Cuihua and Qi Yingxue were chatting arm in arm, like old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Gu Qingzhou was alone in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
Looking around, all of them were Shen Sangning's favorite foods.
At this time, Shen Sangning was sitting in the main hall, stretching lazily, and receiving the last lucky tourist of the day.
"Hello, is there anything you need calculated?" Shen Sangning said softly with a smile on her face.
"Master Shen..." A woman said with a little panic in her eyes: "I... I just bought a second-hand house, it seems... it seems not very clean."
"I can hear knocking on the door every night after twelve o'clock!"
The woman's name is Chen Xinrui, and she lives alone.
Chen Xinrui's voice was trembling, as if she had returned to those horrible nights. "At first, I thought it was a neighbor or someone playing a prank. But when I opened the door, there was no one outside, only the cold wind that blew in, making me feel cold all over."
She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force. "The knocks on the door were very regular, 'dong, dong, dong', and each knock seemed to hit my heart. Moreover, the sound was getting louder and louder, more and more urgent, as if they couldn't wait to rush in."
Shen Sangning frowned slightly, looked at Chen Xinrui intently, and motioned for her to continue.
Chen Xinrui swallowed, her eyes filled with fear. "One night, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I shouted at the door, asking the thing outside to stop knocking. As a result, the knocking stopped suddenly, and the whole world became quiet. But this silence made me even more scared."
"Then what?" Shen Sangning asked.
"Then..." Chen Xinrui's body began to tremble slightly, "Then I heard a low sobbing sound, like someone crying at the door. The sound was so miserable that it made my hair stand on end. I covered my ears and hid under the quilt, not daring to make a sound."
"When I mustered up the courage to stick my head out again, I discovered that the bedroom door had opened a crack at some point. It was pitch black outside and I couldn't see a thing. But the crying sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was right next to my bed." Chen Xinrui's face was pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Just then, I felt a hand on my bed. The hand was ice-cold, without a trace of temperature. I screamed in fear and tried my best to shake the hand away." Her breathing became rapid, as if she had experienced that horrific scene again.
Shen Sangning's expression became serious. She gently held Chen Xinrui's hand, trying to comfort her. "Don't be afraid. Talk slowly."
Chen Xinrui took a deep breath and continued. "Since then, there have been all kinds of strange noises every night. Sometimes it's the sound of heavy objects mopping the floor, sometimes it's the sound of nails scratching the door, and sometimes it's the sound of faint footsteps, as if something is wandering in the house."
"I dare not sleep and turn on the lights every day, but the lights can't dispel the fear. My spirit is almost collapsed and my work has been affected. I really don't know what to do." Chen Xinrui said, and couldn't hold back her tears.
Shen Sangning pondered for a moment and said, "Have you tried to investigate the past of this house?"
Chen Xinrui shook her head. "After the owner sold the house to me, I couldn't get in touch with him anymore."
"I also asked the property management, and I asked the neighbors around, and they all said that nothing had happened in this house..."
"Yeah." Shen Sangning hesitated for two seconds and nodded slightly, "It's not a big problem, you can go back first. I will start the broadcast around twelve o'clock in the evening, and then I will connect with you and solve the problem."
"Okay..." Chen Xinrui said hesitantly, "Master Shen...Master Shen, I...will not be in any danger, right?"
"Don't worry, it's okay." Shen Sangning chuckled and said, "Someone has indeed died in this house, but outsiders just don't know about it."
Chen Xinrui was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Master Shen...someone died in this house, how could outsiders not know? And it was an unexpected death!"
"Could it be that... there is something wrong with the landlord?"
"Yeah." Shen Sangning curled her lips, "The owner of this house has already fled abroad at this moment."
Hearing this, Chen Xinrui's heart sank. "What...what should I do? Master Shen, what should I do? I spent all my savings to buy this house!"
"Isn't this just cheating? I...it makes me sick just thinking about it!"
Shen Sangning smiled and consoled him, "I'll help you clean up the house."
"If you still can't accept it, wait until the original owner is caught and then communicate with the relevant departments."
Chen Xinrui sighed, "They have fled abroad, can we still catch them back?"
Shen Sangning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already made the arrangements. In three days at most, the original owner will come back and turn himself in."
Shen Sangning now has 100,000 ghost soldiers at his command. If he wants to capture someone, he can just send any ghost soldier and the task will be done easily.
If we hand it over to the police, it will require cumbersome procedures and formalities. It would be better to let the ghost soldiers go, which would be quick and convenient.
Chen Xinrui wondered why she was so unlucky.
I finally saved enough money and bought a second-hand house, but someone died there.
All in all, she only lived there for less than half a month.
Even if Master Shen helped to clean it up, she didn't want to live there anymore. She still has psychological trauma now.
She hasn't had a good night's sleep during this period...
If it weren't for the makeup, the thick dark circles under her eyes would be scary enough.
"Master Shen... I... really don't want to live here anymore. If the original owner is caught, can you help me? Ask him to return the money to me..."
Shen Sangning nodded indifferently, "Okay."
"Then wait until the original owner comes back and have him come to you first to return the money he paid for the house."
"Go back first, don't be afraid."
Chen Xinrui nodded and thanked him softly.
After receiving Master Shen's promise, Chen Xinrui breathed a sigh of relief and her expression eased a lot.
The physical and mental exhaustion during this period made her sleep all the way on the high-speed train.
When I got home, it was already dark.
Chen Xinrui turned on all the lights in the house to give herself courage.
At the same time, he muttered, "Don't scare me, I didn't kill you..."
"Someone will redress your grievances. As long as you don't scare me tonight, I will burn more paper for you tomorrow..."
