Chapter 300: Possessed by a Ghost
Chapter 300: Possessed by a Ghost
According to Huang Xiaolong’s instructions, Lin Zicong turned on all the lights in the villa, other than the crystal chandelier that had been destroyed by the fierce ghosts.
Immediately, the whole villa was brightly lit, brimming with vitality.
With a trembling heart, Yang Kai flung open the villa’s front door, and suddenly, a large group of people rushed in!
“God…are you…are you humans or ghosts?” Yang Kai cursed as he tried to shrink away.
Huang Xiaolong took a closer look and saw that this group of unwelcome guests were both men and women, some of whom were dressed in the uniform of the villa complex’s security team.
There were probably more than a dozen of them.
“Who is the owner here?” One security guard looked around, “Someone reported that there was some noise coming from this villa…what’s going on?”
After all, this villa had a reputation as the most haunted house in Binhai, so when the security guards entered, they were understandably nervous.
“Oh…nothing much, I’m the owner, just messing around with friends.” Huang Xiaolong resignedly made his way downstairs.
Huang Xiaolong was about to catch his fourth fierce ghost, but unexpectedly, a group of idle people broke in…
Apart from the security guards, there was also a group of young people. Their faces were full of excitement, with some even filming with their mobile phones.
“Wow…are you the owner of this villa?” A glamorous young girl, about Song Yuru’s age, rushed towards Huang Xiaolong excitedly. “I wanted to ask, what gave you the courage to move into this villa? You should know, this villa is the most famous haunted house in our Binhai.”
“Who are all of you?” Huang Xiaolong asked impatiently. “Why are you at my home at this hour?”
“Tsk” The glamorous girl raised an eyebrow in disdain. “We’re paranormal enthusiasts. Actually, we had planned to explore the most haunted house in Binhai tonight. We didn’t expect it to be inhabited already… Hey, didn’t you hear any strange noises just now?”
“None of your damn business! All of you who have nothing to do with this, leave immediately!” Huang Xiaolong retorted gruffly.
He found this glamorous girl quite intolerable.
This woman, scantily dressed and with pronounced peach-blossom marks between her eyes, obviously leads a promiscuous lifestyle. She’s fully flirty, likes to stay up late-night, and is probably a night club worker.
The glamorous girl showed no respect to Huang Xiaolong as the owner and started a live stream on her mobile phone, taking the paranormal enthusiasts on a tour around Huang Xiaolong’s villa.
“HeyI’ll borrow your toilet for a bit.” The glamorous girl disappeared into the upstairs bathroom.
“Can we get these idiots out of here?” Huang Xiaolong growled at the security guards who had entered the room.
“Little Long, don’t fret, I’ll negotiate with these security guards,” Lin Jing said, stepping forward.
“You guys really didn’t notice anything strange? If you do, you need to report it immediately. This villa has already had a lot of strange incidents…” The head of security babbled on.
Well, the ghost-hunting was going well, now it’s all messed up.
However, Huang Xiaolong didn’t stop thinking about where the fourth fierce ghost could be hiding.
After all, a lot of people had flooded into the villa, and the fourth fierce ghost was still hiding somewhere in there. He had to find it as soon as possible, or something could go wrong.
‘When that scoundrel committed suicide…he was in the bathroom…his blood…splashed on the mirror…’
Suddenly!
An idea flashed through Huang Xiaolong’s mind!
The next moment, he pulled out a Ghost Chasing Talisman from his bag. With a flick of his wrist, the talisman set itself ablaze!
The Ghost Chasing Talisman transformed into a fireball, as if it had wings, it flew straight to the second floor.
‘Ha is it really hiding in the bathroom? However, I didn’t sense any strong ghost qi in the bathroom… The mirror? Could it be the mirror in the bathroom?’
Huang Xiaolong quickly followed behind.
The people present, upon seeing the moving fireball made from the Ghost Chasing Talisman, were completely taken aback and unconsciously followed behind Huang Xiaolong.
Upstairs.
The Ghost Chasing Talisman fireball stopped outside the bathroom door.
BangIn an instant, the fireball exploded, scattering sparks in all directions.
Apparently, the ‘Chase the Dark’ charm had traced its way here, only to lose the trail.
Thud? Thud Thud
Someone was knocking on the door.
“Enough I’m in the bathroom! Wait for a while, stop knocking, acting like hooligans…” A discontent voice of a seductive girl echoed from the bathroom.
“Idiot… still in the bathroom… She doesn’t even know how she’s going to die!” Huang Xiaolong sneered coldly.
Without hesitation, he kicked open the locked bathroom door.
In the bathroom.
The alluring girl was already washing her hands in front of the mirror.
The sight of Huang Xiaolong barging in scared her into a shiver, and she quickly turned around subconsciously.
However, the bizarre thing was, the moment she turned her head, her reflection in the mirror was still washing its hands.
Huang Xiaolong glanced at the alluring girl, then turned towards the bathroom mirror and laughed playfully. “So, you splattered blood on the mirror when you committed suicide, unsuspectingly giving you the ability to hide within the mirror… This mirror, it’s your perfect disguise. No wonder I overlooked you when I first came to this villa.”
“What… what are you talking about? I’m flabbergasted, why are you such a hooligan? I had just pulled up my pants, and there you are barging in. You wanted to peep, didn’t you?” the alluring girl raged at Huang Xiaolong.
At this moment, the eerie mirror illusion disappeared.
The onlookers outside started streaming into the bathroom all at once.
“Little Long, are you saying that the fourth ghost hid inside this bathroom mirror?” Lin Jing, standing beside Huang Xiaolong, asked.
“This ghost, purely by chance, acquired the ability to hide within the mirror.” Huang Xiaolong swept his gaze over the crowd in the bathroom. “Mirrors, they can be quite sinister. For instance, a mirror kept in the dark becomes capable of absorbing gloomy energies. And from a Feng Shui perspective, a mirror is regarded as Yin, the window to a different world, which is why there are many taboos regarding mirrors in Feng Shui. Furthermore, a person alone has a very weak energy field around them, making it easier to invite evil spirits when looking in the mirror.”
“A ghost hidden in a mirror is also the hardest to detect.” Huang Xiaolong smile teasingly.
“Teacher, now that you know where the fourth ghost is hiding, why don’t we just vanquish it once and for all!” Lin Zicong suggested furiously, “The fourth ghost is the root cause of this haunted house. If it hadn’t killed the family of three, none of the paranormal events that followed would have occurred. Teacher, I suggest we destroy it completely!”
“Listen to me,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “The fourth ghost is very cunning. It knows that it’s no match for me, and so, just now, it possessed one of the people in the bathroom.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the bathroom.
“Anyone who has looked into this mirror could be possessed by the ghost. So, who here has looked into the mirror?” Huang Xiaolong smiled again.
The mirror in the bathroom is quite large; as soon as someone walks in, they would instinctively see their reflection in the mirror.
So essentially, every person that has entered has looked into the mirror!
This includes Song Yuru, Lin Jing, Lin Zicong, Yang Kai.
The security guards as well.
And also all those ignorant paranormal enthusiasts.
“In plain words, among us here, one has been possessed by the ghost.” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes scanned across everyone’s faces.
“Teacher! The first one to enter the bathroom was that girl… I bet it’s her!” Lin Zicong stared fiercely at the alluring girl.
“It’s not me! Damn it! You’re making baseless accusations! How could it be me?” The alluring girl reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
“Ha this is fun, too much fun…” Huang Xiaolong could not help but laugh. “I never thought tonight would be so entertaining. Come on, let’s go downstairs and find out who has been possessed by the ghost.”
After saying this, Huang Xiaolong headed straight downstairs.
Song Yuru rushed forward and whispered, “Little Long, you already know the answer, don’t you? Then tell me, who has been possessed by the ghost?”
