Qin Liu hadn't expected Liu Haoyu to open the coffin lid so directly, but after seeing that the person inside was unharmed, she couldn't help but tease him.

"Do you have superhuman strength?"

Liu Haoyu ignored Qin Liu's words and looked at the coffin behind him.

The ghost child that should have been holding him was now nowhere to be seen.

He figured it must have run away.

Compared to him, this ghost seemed even more afraid of Qin Liu.

"Chase."

Liu Haoyu had finally found a lead and had no intention of giving up so easily.

So many people had already died in this house, and he couldn't let it go uncleaned without disgracing his title as a ghost exorcist.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait for me!"

While waiting, Qin Liu had a constant feeling that something was watching her, so she was quite spooked and immediately followed him.

The ghostly shadow fled all the way up the stairs, and Liu Haoyu chased right behind it.

They soon reached the third floor.

However, upon reaching the third floor this time, Liu Haoyu discovered that the third floor, which originally only had four rooms, now had an extra door.

The door looked extremely old and had a faded red paper pasted above it.

No one knew where this suddenly appearing door led.

Liu Haoyu sensed the thick resentment emanating from behind the door, and his heart immediately sounded an alarm.

This resentment... was exactly the same as the resentment of the haunted house.

What was going on?

"Speaking of which, don't you think the atmosphere of this house is very strange?"

Qin Liu floated in mid-air. Knowing that Liu Haoyu couldn't see her, she casually crossed her legs, lacking any decorum.

"It feels exactly like my home."

"It really does..."

Liu Haoyu placed his hand on the door and, after hesitating for three seconds, gently pushed it open a crack to check the situation inside.

The empty room showed no sign of the dark shadow.

But the candle Liu Haoyu was holding was still burning.

This meant that the dark shadow was hiding in some corner inside.

Qin Liu, peeking her head out, said.

"What if it's hiding somewhere and suddenly attacks us when we go in..."

Listening to Qin Liu's soft voice, Liu Haoyu couldn't help but tease her.

"How about you go in and scout it out first? I'll buy you two bottles of Sprite and five bags of chips when we get back."

"Is my life really that cheap?!"

"Just kidding."

Liu Haoyu certainly wouldn't let Qin Liu scout ahead. He gently pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Qin Liu followed behind him, but as soon as they entered, a piercing and terrifying scream erupted from the room, startling Qin Liu so much that she almost retreated back into Red Jade.

However, it was just a scream, and nothing scary suddenly appeared.

Qin Liu observed the room and noticed that the bed was small, like a child's bedroom.

But on the floor of the bedroom, for some reason, there was a book, and on the book, there was a pen.

Seeing this, Qin Liu seemed to recall something.

Isn't this the Ouija Ghost game from some horror literature?

Liu Haoyu picked up the book in the center of the room and examined it carefully before saying.

"Summoning the Ouija Ghost? They're really asking for trouble."

The prototype of the Ouija Ghost is actually a simplified version of "Fu Ji," one of China's oldest witchcraft practices.

But no matter how simplified, it is still a ritual to summon ghosts.

It was clear that everyone in this house had died at the hands of this Ouija Ghost.

And from the questions asked in the book.

It was clearly the work of Zhu Xingxue's son.

This child desperately wanted to know where his sister was.

So he used the Ouija Ghost ritual to find the answer.

But as the saying goes, it's easy to invite a ghost, but hard to send it away.

While amateurs can summon ghosts, they can't necessarily send them away, which is why this family was killed by the Ouija Ghost.

However, under normal circumstances, such a summoning ritual isn't easy to complete.

It requires a large amount of resentment. This leads us back to another question: where did the resentment in this house come from?

Now, Liu Haoyu had found the answer.

In the center of the room was a formation drawn with chicken blood.

Although it was crooked, it was indeed operational.

After a careful inspection, Liu Haoyu discovered that this formation was precisely what summoned the resentment from the haunted house.

But this crooked formation was clearly meant to connect to the earth vein.

Could it be that the earth vein had been contaminated by resentment?

If that were the case, it would explain why Jiangliu City had been experiencing so many paranormal events recently.

Even a driver murdered ten years ago could manifest and cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu seemed to understand the Black Book's words.

Why investigate this case? Because if they didn't hurry to find the source of the haunted house's resentment, this entire area for a hundred miles around could truly be doomed.

Liu Haoyu began to search the room.

Soon, he found a bloodstain on the ground.

Judging by the size of the bloodstain, it was easy to deduce that it belonged to the brother who had summoned the Ouija Ghost.

After asking his questions, he was immediately killed by the Fierce Ghost. After killing him, the Fierce Ghost then killed Zhu Xingxue and his wife in their sleep.

"Wuwuwu..."

A soft sobbing came from inside the house; it was the sister's voice.

"Brother... there are bad people outside."

Following the sound, Liu Haoyu arrived at the wardrobe.

Upon sensing Liu Haoyu's arrival, all sound from inside the wardrobe ceased.

Perhaps to the siblings hiding inside, Liu Haoyu, wearing a gas mask and holding a fire axe, looked like the real ghost.

"Come out."

Upon hearing Liu Haoyu's words, the wardrobe trembled.

Then, the wardrobe slowly opened, revealing only two shadowy figures within.

And a timid, trembling male voice.

"Don't... don't kill us."

"The two college students downstairs who died in the coffin, did your sister do that?"

"N-no!" the brother retorted loudly. "My sister never killed anyone! She's good, a good person!"

Compared to his sister, who might have died a long time ago, the brother, who had died more recently, had a more complete soul and a certain level of intelligence. However, it was merely the residual instinct to protect his sister.

But because of his sister's previous murderous intent towards him, Liu Haoyu decided to get to the bottom of it.

"Then who did it?"

"My dad!" the brother said without hesitation. "My dad killed those two people, fed them to the Ouija Ghost, and then stuffed the bodies into the coffin."

"Oh?"

After hearing the brother's words, Liu Haoyu looked at the weak abilities of the two siblings. After some thought, he decided to temporarily believe his statement.

However, if he could kill two college students, it meant that Zhu Xingxue might have already become a ghost servant of the Fierce Ghost.

Liu Haoyu took out the hair of the white-clothed Fierce Ghost from his pocket.

At this moment, the strand of hair trembled with excitement.
