Chapter 1255: Haunted

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The price of the villa was almost 50% off. Not believing in haunted houses, this family moved in the next day.

The family indeed lived peacefully in the villa for a few days. After several nights passed, they even told the neighbors in the district that the haunted house story was just a lie. How could there be ghosts that would harm people? They had lived there for a few days but had not seen any ghosts. The haunted house story was obviously fake. Otherwise, how could their family be safe and sound?

In the end, the day after they made those claims, the entire family went missing. Up until today, the second family of five had been missing for three days. Just like the first family, it was as if the five of them had become invisible overnight and disappeared completely.

After such a strange thing happened, the developer took back the villa and called the police. He sealed the house and forbade anyone from entering.

The police came to investigate a few times but did not replace anything amiss. That was why they asked 117 for help.

As most of the people from the headquarters were guarding Bai Wanxi’s corpse in the 117 building, there weren’t enough people to investigate tonight. Therefore, they got Zhang Wenwen and the other two to confirm the exact location of the villa and investigate if there were any abnormalities in the magnetic field. Tomorrow morning, when the Xuan Sect and Bai Wanxi returned to the 117 building, they would send more people over to examine the villa and even dismantle it.

This was because a total of 13 people from both families had disappeared. 117 attached great importance to such a major case. Whoever could solve this case would definitely make a huge contribution.

The three of them knew this very well.

Zhang Wenwen’s expression stiffened for a moment after being exposed by Tang Qi. She then straightened her neck self-righteously and said, “I just want to get ahead. Let me tell you, there’s nothing wrong with me wanting to get credit for this. Do you think everyone is like you? You’ve been a coward your entire life. No wonder you’re still a minor team member after so many years. You’re useless!”

“Enough.” Wang Yihuan stopped the two of them from arguing. Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a clear cracking sound coming from a room on the second floor.

It was as if a glass had been broken. The three 117 members were startled.

In an instant, the three of them lost the mood to bicker. A strange aura spread across the area. The three of them looked up at the same time, and the hair on their backs stood on end.

With another clear cracking noise, the villa fell silent again. They looked at the window on the second floor in unison. The curtains were half-drawn and the room was pitch-black. Other than the window and curtains, they couldn’t see anything else.

Even though there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the surroundings, the three people couldn’t shift their gazes away. They were all sweating profusely as they looked at the closed window. Everyone looked so nervous.

“Is it my imagination or did you all hear it?” Tang Qi asked, trembling.

“I… I heard it. What’s going on? Is it the wind?” Even the bold Zhang Wenwen was trembling.

“What wind? And the windows are closed. The night breeze can’t blow in.” As Wang Yihuan spoke, he pulled out his pistol and quickly loaded it. “There’s someone in this villa. I want to go in and take a look.”
