"Mingyu, don't worry, there are seven of us. Don't be afraid. Besides, we'll only stay there for one night."
Zhao Yuntian was comforting her in the front row, and Chen Siyuan was still the same, hugging her shoulders tightly which were trembling with anxiety, and whispering comfort in her ears.
The wheels rolled forward, driving smoothly on the right side of the winding road. At the same time, the seven people in the car noticed that in the woods on the left, they could see the self-built villas from more than 20 years ago scattered in the distance.
More than 20 years have passed, and the villa that they spent so much time and effort to build has long since become dilapidated in the torrent of time. The outer walls are covered with vines and moss. It stands quietly in the dense forest, leaving only traces of the existence of the residents back then.
To be honest, Shen Mingyu hated this feeling, hated the concrete display of time in front of her, not to mention that they were going to the villa where the murder had happened later.
"There are probably about ten villas in total. It seems that there were quite a few wealthy people back then."
Friend D exclaimed.
"That's true."
Friend A echoed.
"Are you still carsick? Do you want to open the window?"
Chen Siyuan asked.
Shen Mingyu nodded.
After getting her response, Chen Siyuan lowered the car window, and the cool breeze from the lake blew into the car as the car moved forward at a constant speed. Shen Mingyu's nose twitched, and she could clearly smell the damp and rotten smell of the woods after the rain carried in the wind.
"It smells terrible."
she says.
"Does it smell bad? I think it's okay."
Chen Siyuan said this, but he still rolled up the car window to completely block out the unpleasant smell that his girlfriend found.
"Coming."
Friend A drove the car into a cement path, passed the tiled flat ground covered with weeds that could barely be considered a small square, and drove into the path extending to the left. An American-style villa stood quietly next to a lush camphor tree.
The car stopped steadily. The expressions of the seven people in the car were different. The girls were a little scared and uneasy, while the boys got out of the car excitedly.
Shen Mingyu was the last one to get off the car. She pressed her body against Chen Siyuan's arm and looked up at the dilapidated American-style villa in front of her, with its outer walls covered with vines.
The whole villa has three floors, and the windows on each floor are open. If you look closely, you can see the floral curtains blown by the wind and the ceiling with a big hole in it.
Thinking of what A said not long ago, that the son of the owner of this villa once stood by the window and stared at the passers-by downstairs with sinister eyes, Shen Mingyu suddenly felt a chill in his bones and his knees went weak.
"It's getting dark, let's go in."
A took the lead in using a stick to break the man-high weeds blocking the door, creating a path to enter.
His girlfriend D followed closely behind, followed by B and her boyfriend C, Zhao Yuntian, Shen Mingyu, and finally Chen Siyuan walked at the end.
"It looks like no one has ever explored this place."
A pointed to the iron chain on the door and said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingyu leaned out half of his body and looked at the gate of the villa, and sure enough, there was a chain.
"It seems that some supernatural incident really happened back then, you see."
A was the bravest among the seven. He casually tore off the faded talisman paper that was stuck on the door and waved it in front of everyone. Obviously, he didn't think whether doing so would bring him disaster.
Anyway, Shen Mingyu didn't dare to do that. She felt the surroundings were gloomy just standing outside. The rustling sound made by the wind blowing through the half-human-high weeds made the atmosphere even more chilling and weird.
"We can't get in if the door is locked, so let's..."
Zhao Yuntian also wanted to back out at this time, and was about to leave with both hands.
"Now that we're here, and it's been more than 20 years, the chain has long been rusted and can be broken with just anything."
C picked up a brick from the ground and handed it to A. A took the brick and smashed it directly on the rusty iron chain.
Bang---
Bang---
The loud noises were infinitely amplified in the eerie and silent environment, and as A smashed down again and again, each one seemed to strike into the hearts of everyone present.
Shen Mingyu closed her eyes and covered her ears, her back pressed tightly against Chen Siyuan before she could barely find a trace of comfort.
"alright."
A threw away the bricks breathlessly and pushed open the door of the haunted house that had been sealed for more than 20 years.
Crunch---
The dilapidated door made a sharp noise. A took the lead and turned on the flashlight to shine inside.
In the range of the strong flashlight, everyone could clearly see the interior structure of the villa where the murder took place that year: the entrance was directly opposite the staircase leading to the second floor, and a half-open door next to it seemed to be the entrance to the basement;
On the left is the living room, which is decorated in the classic American country style of more than 20 years ago. The oak floor is still relatively intact and is covered with an expensive-looking carpet, but it is covered with a thick layer of dust.
When they walked into the living room, the kitchen was in front. The things inside were basically kept intact, with stoves, cupboards and refrigerators.
Then the few of them left the kitchen and looked to the right of the stairs. Next to a floor-to-ceiling window stood a wooden table with eight seats. The tableware placed on the diamond-shaped tablecloth was also covered in dust, including the two vases. The flowers inside had long since weathered and turned into dust with a slight touch.
"Go upstairs and have a look."
A said.
"Ayuan, I...I don't want to go upstairs..."
Shen Mingyu grabbed Chen Siyuan’s arm tightly, and looked particularly pale under the light of the flashlight.
"...Why don't you wait for us in the car?"
He hesitated for two seconds and asked.
If she had to stay in the car alone, she might as well go upstairs with them.
"No, no, I'd better go with you guys."
Shen Mingyu always felt a chill on the back of her neck since she stepped into the villa. Every now and then, she would touch it, and the chill would suddenly disappear. Her associative ability was too strong, so she had to zip up her coat as high as possible and press her body tightly against her boyfriend's arm before she felt better.
While the two of them were dawdling, the other figures had already disappeared around the corner of the stairs. Shen Mingyu and Chen Siyuan hurriedly followed, not noticing that the dust-covered photo frame on the fireplace in the living room moved strangely.
The seven people stopped at the stairs on the second floor. In front of them was a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was a half-open window. The wind blew in and directly moved the hanging beige curtains. The fluttering arc was like a woman's skirt, except for the legs.
"I don't know which room was the one where the body was originally placed."
Just as C was about to put his hand on the left door handle, his girlfriend B suddenly screamed, scaring everyone out of their wits and asking her what happened.
"Yes, there are bugs!"
B's voice trembled. Everyone looked in the direction she pointed. It was a millipede, which was wriggling its fat body into the crack of the wall.
"What a fuss! You nearly scared us to death."
Zhao Yuntian patted his chest with lingering fear. The originally tense atmosphere was slightly eased by B's interruption.
"I'm afraid of insects..."
B knew he had done something wrong, so he shut his mouth and stopped making any sound.
While several people were complaining, Shen Mingyu frequently glanced at the dark corridor behind her in Chen Siyuan's arms.
For some reason, she always felt that someone was secretly watching them, looking at them with malicious eyes in the dark.
"Ayuan, I always feel like someone..."
Before Shen Mingyu finished speaking, C turned the handle, and with a 'click', the old door was pushed open, and a strong, indescribable smell of corruption came to his face.
"Fcuk, it stinks!"
A and C cursed at the same time and raised their flashlights to shine inside.
This bedroom seems to be the one reported in the newspaper where Jiang dismembered his father and placed him neatly on the bed.
Over a long period of time, the once beautifully decorated room has become dilapidated, with the walls and ceilings decaying to varying degrees. The chandelier has fallen down, exposing the red and blue wires.
"Reality is indeed scarier than movies."
A walked to the bed and turned on the light. Everyone present saw a large, dried human-shaped bloodstain on the bed.
"vomit..."
Shen Mingyu couldn’t stand it anymore, so she ran to the corridor and retched while holding onto the wall.
"Are you ok?"
Chen Siyuan patted her back and asked.
"Ugh...I...I'm fine."
Shen Mingyu waved her hand, straightened up and wiped the corner of her mouth, "I just suddenly smelled the smell in the room and felt sick."
Chen Siyuan sighed softly, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let you participate in this..."
Before he finished saying the word "ghost", Shen Mingyu covered his mouth with his hand, his expression was extremely serious and firm, "Don't say that word in a place like this, otherwise you will encounter terrible things."
Chen Siyuan smiled with his eyes curved, and replied in a muffled voice, "Hmm."
"Okay, let them get out and go to another room."
Shen Mingyu didn't want them to stay in this room for too long, after all, such a terrible thing had happened in this room.
"Well, come out quickly, it's getting dark, let's find a room to rest."
Chen Siyuan stood at the door and shouted into the room, Shen Mingyu stood behind him, and his ears suddenly moved.
What's going on?
She suddenly looked up amidst the conversation of her friends.
Dust was falling from above her head, and she seemed to hear vaguely the sound of long, dull footsteps, as if someone was walking with a broken leg.
Shen Mingyu’s breathing stagnated, his pupils shrank slightly, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Impossible! No one has been to this villa for a long time, except for the seven of them today, and they were all on the second floor. No one went to the third floor at all!
"Ayuan, Ayuan, there is someone on the third floor..."
Shen Mingyu shook Chen Siyuan's arm, but he didn't react at all.
"Ah...Ayuan..."
Noticing something strange about her boyfriend, Shen Mingyu slowly loosened her grip on his arm, swallowed in fear and stepped back.
Chen Siyuan stood with his back to her, motionless. Only then did she notice that her friends in the room had stopped talking, and the surroundings were plunged into an extremely strange atmosphere.
Shen Mingyu felt like he was going crazy, so he raised his flashlight and shone it into the room.
The moment the flashlight beam shone into the room, she found that everyone was standing there stiffly, and their heads that had been lowered suddenly raised up to look at her, with the corners of their mouths raised at a terrifying and weird angle. Even Chen Siyuan turned his head, his eyes empty, and gave her the same weird smile.
Shen Mingyu's rationality completely collapsed. With a cry of "ah", his eyes rolled back and he fainted from fright.
"I told you guys not to scare her, but now she hasn't woken up yet."
"Alas, who knew Mingyu was so timid."
"Baby, wake up. What happened just now was just a joke. Wake up, okay?"
The voices of Zhao Yuntian, Chen Siyuan and A rang in her ears, and Shen Mingyu slowly woke up, and the worried expressions of the three people appeared in her vision.
"You, are you human or..."
Shen Mingyu thought of what had just happened and stepped back warily.
Chen Siyuan scratched the back of his head apologetically and explained to her what had just happened even though she was frightened unconscious.
"So you guys teamed up to scare me just now!?"
Shen Mingyu was angry and aggrieved. Thinking that her boyfriend, who had promised to protect her at the beginning, was such a B@st@ard, her tears fell like spilled beans.
"Hey, don't cry, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you can beat me however you want."
Chen Siyuan was really anxious now, and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe away her tears.
Shen Mingyu cried breathlessly, sobbing and resisting her boyfriend's apology and approach.
Seeing this, the other people realized they had gone too far and came forward to comfort him.
"I'm sorry Mingyu, we went too far. You can beat anyone you want as long as you can vent your anger."
A was so anxious that he kept scratching his head, and couldn't think of any way to comfort her.
