Chapter 363: Chapter 363 Dirty things are here!
The residential area where Liu Feilei lived was an older one, but the environment was still decent.

After Huang Xiaolong parked the car, Liu Feilei led him and Wu Shanshan into the residential area.

As soon as they entered, Huang Xiaolong had a slight moment of surprise…

In this residential area, there was the presence of lonely spirits and wild ghosts, but there was also something extremely yin and malicious, filled with violent energy.

‘Oh… I see, there are not only ghosts in the residential area but also that…’ Huang Xiaolong thought to himself, although he didn’t directly say it out loud.

“A house where someone has died, if haunted, is known as a deadly house.” Huang Xiaolong said with a chuckle, “Feilei, you’re quite brave to rent such a house…”

“Ah~~ haha…” Liu Feilei forced out a dry laugh, revealing some signs of trying to put on a brave face. “I was just too greedy… alas, there is no such thing as a free lunch.”

On the side, Wu Shanshan whispered, “Little Long, can you handle the deadly house?”

“Hahaha~~ What’s the big deal?” Huang Xiaolong said earnestly, “Ever heard of Binhai’s deadliest house?”

“I’ve read about it online, why?” Liu Feilei asked, puzzled.

“That deadly house in Binhai was handled by me. It was way more dangerous than this house you’ve rented. I promise, both of you won’t have anything to worry about. I’ll protect you. Come ghosts or monsters, I’ll deal with them!” Huang Xiaolong declared resolutely.

The unwavering confidence in his eyes warmed Wu Shanshan’s heart, stirring a profound sense of pride in her.

At that moment, Liu Feilei was also moved, thinking to herself, this guy is really charming.

They proceeded into Liu Feilei’s rented house.

The house had two rooms and a living room, its furniture quite old but the house was pretty clean.

Huang Xiaolong walked all around the house, spending quite some time observing from the balcony.

“Little Long, have you noticed anything?” Liu Feilei asked nervously, running to Huang Xiaolong’s side.

“Err~~ There is residual ghost energy in the house, but they haven’t shown up yet.” Huang Xiaolong stated ominously.

“They?” Liu Feilei exclaimed in horror. “You mean…there’s more… more than one?”

“Yeah, didn’t you say there was movement on the balcony and a knocking sound outside the house at one o’clock in the morning? That must be at least two ghosts, right?” Huang Xiaolong walked back into the house.

“It’s so terrifying, so terrifying…” Liu Feilei muttered, trailing behind Huang Xiaolong.

“Little Long, what now?” Wu Shanshan asked.

“I’ll stay here tonight and see what’s causing the trouble.” Huang Xiaolong sat down on the living room couch. “Fatty, if you want to go home, go ahead. Anyway, it’s a small matter, I’ll help Feilei take care of it.”

“Oh…nevermind, I’ll stay and keep you guys company.” Wu Shanshan mumbled.

Although she’s straightforward and unpretentious, she wasn’t comfortable leaving her boyfriend alone with another girl.

Who knows what might happen when passion strikes.

Even though Liu Feilei is a flat-chested woman, her facial features were pure and cute. Looking at just her face, she was definitely a beauty.

“Pff~~ Shanshan, are you afraid I’ll steal your man?” Liu Feilei exaggeratedly hooked her arm in Huang Xiaolong’s, “Your handsome, manly boyfriend here is quite a catch, you better keep an eye on him… or I might steal him away!”

“Tch~~~ I’m not afraid of you at all.” Wu Shanshan puffed up her chest, indicating implicitly that she was more than a match for Liu Feilei.

“Hehe, I’ve been taking breast enhancement pills… we’ll see, Shanshan.” Liu Feilei said with a wink.

Since Wu Shanshan had decided to stay the night, the three of them locked the front door and stayed inside the house.

Huang Xiaolong, being the earnest one, sat in the bedroom looking up information on his laptop.

As it turned out, the old residential area had seen quite a few strange occurrences in recent years.

It began with the disappearance of a teddy dog owned by the elderly couple who lived there. When it was found, it was dead, grotesquely mutilated. The pictures were horrific – its eyes had been gouged, fur burned, tail cut off, and stomach split open with intestines hanging out.

It was obviously the work of a mentally disturbed person with a penchant for animal abuse.

Not long after the dog’s death, people in the area began to die.

The first to die was a single, divorced woman in her thirties. She committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Seven days after her death, which is also the seventh day of mourning, the elderly couple committed suicide by hanging themselves in their own house.

“This apartment complex is a bit eerie.” Huang Xiaolong lit a cigarette, pondering in his mind. “But all of this, it must have started with the death of that Teddy dog…”

“Ohhh, Little Long, looking at your face, you look like a detective… analyzing the case?” Liu Feilei brought be Huang Xiaolong a plate of peeled lychees. “Ah, you’re so handsome, Little Long. No wonder people say that men are most attractive when they’re focused on something!”

“What time is it now?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“It’s almost midnight~~” Liu Feilei checked the time.

“It’s not a long wait before they arrive then, let’s get ready.” Huang Xiaolong stood up. “In a bit, I’ll show you firsthand how they come over.”

The living room.

The three of them sat on the sofa.

“Fatty, Feilei, get your mobile phones out.” Huang Xiaolong ordered.

Wu Shanshan and Liu Feilei did as they were told and took out their mobile phones.

“Now, top up your phone balances online.” Said Huang Xiaolong.

“Eh?! Top up?” Wu Shanshan and Liu Feilei both expressed surprise simultaneously.

But they didn’t question it further, each person topped up a few hundred yuan to their mobile phone balance.

Huang Xiaolong took both of their phones, pulled out two sigils made from yellow paper from his canvas bag, and stuck them onto their phones. “This sigil is a little something I researched myself. Usually, a ghost’s power can affect electronic devices. By sticking this talisman on your phones, you’ll avoid unexpected shutdowns later when dirty things arrive. Also, these sigils can enhance the cell phone’s sensitivity towards dirty things.”

“It’s now late at night. The apartment complex is really silent. When dirty things enter the house, ordinary people’s ears can hear some noises, but they can’t catch the minute details. However, the radio waves from the phone are much more sensitive to dirty things than regular human ears. Moreover, I’ve pasted the talisman on your phones.”

It was already around 12:30, half an hour before the ghosts were set to invade the house, of course, they could come earlier.

Huang Xiaolong walked onto the balcony, used Liu Feilei’s mobile phone to dial Wu Shanshan’s phone number.

Then, holding Wu Shanshan’s mobile phone, he answered the incoming call from Liu Feilei and put it on speaker.

Huang Xiaolong left Liu Feilei’s phone on the balcony.

Grasping Wu Shanshan’s phone, he said, “Now everyone turn off all the lights in the house and we will wait in the bedroom.”

Suddenly, the house plunged into total darkness.

The bedroom.

The three of them sat together, Huang Xiaolong holding Wu Shanshan’s phone in his hand. Because he pressed the speaker button, all the noises on the balcony could be transmitted to Wu Shanshan’s phone at once through Liu Feilei’s phone.

“My gosh…this method of capturing ghosts, I’m hearing it for the first time…it’s nothing like how the movies portray it…” Liu Feilei was astonished.

“I’m just keeping up with the times.” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin. “Alright, time is almost up. No more talking.”

All three of them fell silent, squinting at the orange-lit phone screen in the quiet room, the entire apartment complex was also deathly silent.

There were only huffing sounds from the wind coming from Wu Shanshan’s phone, making everyone feel uneasy.

Dong~~~~~

The quartz clock in the living room struck one in the morning!

Suddenly!

Swish, swish, swish, swish~~ A strange rustling sound came from Wu Shanshan’s phone!

It was definitely not the sound of wind!

It was something else!

Next…

“Help… help… save me…… help me~~~~~~~~”

A woman’s voice, very clearly transmitted through Wu Shanshan’s phone!

“The dirty thing is here~~” Huang Xiaolong let out a chuckle.
