Baishe Yousheng also puzzled by Gu Xi's question.

Meeting Gu Xi was a major challenge for this Baishe Yousheng.

No one ever asked where the previous homeowner's body was buried.

Seeing Baishe Yousheng's expression, Gu Xi knew that asking was pointless, so he changed the subject.

"Can I open the door and go in to take a look?"

"Of course, please come in."

Upon hearing this, Baishe Yousheng knew that the situation had entered his rhythm, so he quickly pushed open the door and gestured for him to enter.

Gu Xi glanced inside from the main entrance and muttered, "The entrance staircase is exhausting."

Baishe Yousheng only heard a little bit, and he looked at Gu Xi with some confusion. "What are the guests saying?"

"Nothing much, let's go inside and take a look. This house doesn't have a yard, right? What's the strangeness inside? What are the taboos?"

"There is no courtyard. The land for a courtyard has been taken up by both sides. If it's anything strange or taboo, please wait for me to look for it."

Baishe Yousheng quickly opened his Briefcase and began rummaging through it.

The Briefcase contained many taboos related to various houses.

Of course, because this house wasn't very good, it was placed at the bottom.

While waiting, Gu Xi did not rush in, but observed from outside the door.

Besides the bizarre situation of the stairs being visible upon entering, this house also has many other feng shui-inducing designs.

From Gu Xi's perspective, given the structure of this house, even without attracting any strange occurrences, the people living here are destined to die young and be reborn sooner.

Buying a place here is like choosing your burial plot in advance.

Of course, the cemeteries mentioned here are all real.

Gu Xi noticed that there was a strong Yin Energy gathering in the basement, roof, beams, and pillars of the house.

It's quite obvious that several previous owners buried themselves in this house.

Gu Xi had a feeling when he was outside the door, which is why he asked where the original owner was buried.

Now that the door is open and he sees everything inside, Gu Xi is even more certain.

Baishe Yousheng was unaware of Gu Xi's thoughts. After finding the forbidden diagram, he began to explain it to Gu Xi.

"Because this house has many strange occurrences, there are also many taboos. The first homeowner introduced a taboo that cooked food could not be put in the refrigerator, only vegetables and fruits. Otherwise, the next morning, someone in the house would turn into a corpse and freeze to death in the freezer."

At this point, Baishe Yousheng paused for a moment, "The first owner of this house was the Inu House family mentioned earlier. This is the strange creature they kept. Actually, it's easy to deal with. As long as you don't put the cooked food in the refrigerator, there won't be any problems."

Gu Xi nodded, glanced at where the refrigerator was, and his thoughts became even simpler.

If there's no refrigerator, then there won't be any eerie occurrences, right? "Later, the Inu House family encountered a powerful eerie entity in the park. This eerie entity's taboo was not to spray food on the walls, otherwise someone would turn into bloody mud and smear it on the walls that very night."

When Baishe Yousheng uttered this taboo, he glanced at Gu Xi.

These are all incredibly powerful supernatural phenomena that are sure to kill people. These are just two, and both are taboo things that can lead to death. What should we do next?

Gu Xi didn't care about any of that. He looked around each room one by one, and only when Baishe Yousheng stopped did Gu Xi turn around and say, "Continue."

"Oh, the third weirdo was brought back by Inu House family after all their children died, in order to deal with the previous weirdo. This weirdo has three taboos, which correspond to its three abilities. I will explain them in detail now."

Baishe Yousheng quickly recited the taboo details.

As Gu Xi listened, he considered what he could and could not do.

After Baishe Yousheng finished introducing the eight strange taboos in the house, Gu Xi realized that the house was almost unusable. After buying it, he would have to be careful even if he just passed by it, let alone move in.

Which rooms can't be opened, which items can't be used—these are still the easiest things to handle. At most, you can just seal off those rooms and send the items out.

But the idea that no one is allowed to be awake at a certain time is just a joke.

Even if you want to play weird games, this isn't how you play them.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, "If I buy this place, then it should be legal for me to clean up the eerie things in the house, right?"

"Get rid of the eerie things in the house?"

Baishe Yousheng was stunned. He had never imagined that someone could get rid of the eerie things in the house.

People in this world are used to living with the supernatural. When building a new house, they will invite a supernatural person who gets along with them to live in the house. No one has ever thought of driving the supernatural away.

Therefore, Baishe Yousheng has not encountered such a problem.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "It's legal. Nobody says there has to be something supernatural in the house. It's just that if there's nothing supernatural in the house, it's easy for something supernatural to invade it."

"It's okay, I'll handle everything."

Gu Xi said very seriously, "This room is fine. What procedures do I need to go through, or do I just need to pay?"

Hearing Gu Xi's words, Baishe Yousheng was completely stunned.

He didn't expect Gu Xi to choose the house so easily.

You know, when he usually introduces houses, he takes people to see seven or eight houses at a time, and sometimes he even picks out the people living in the houses.

This situation was something he had never encountered before.

"What, is there no way to process it?"

"No, no, I can help you right now."

When Gu Xi asked another question, Baishe Yousheng finally realized what was happening and quickly replied to Gu Xi.

"Please wait a moment, I'll take care of it right away."

Gu Xi nodded and started walking around the room.

After that incident, Gu Xi had already determined the situation inside the two-story building.

Three bodies and two sets of ashes were buried on the first floor of the small building, three bodies were hidden on the second floor, and there should be another body hidden in the upper mezzanine.

As for underground, Gu Xi estimated that there should still be a Ghost that had already formed in the past, and that he had violated more than half of the strange taboos in the house.

In other words, apart from the first owner of the house and Inu House, the deaths of the other owners were very likely caused by this guy.

However, dying from breaking taboos is a perfectly normal thing in this world.

Even the police didn't want to get involved, because nobody knew whether the dead person had broken the taboo intentionally or unintentionally.

They can't reason with the supernatural about this kind of thing.

So in the end, all they could do was record the incident, help dispose of the body, and that was about it.

But now that this Ghost has met Gu Xi, the situation is different. When Baishe Yousheng was going through the procedures, a smile appeared on Gu Xi's face.
