Chapter 1: The New House Has Ghosts

  On a piece of dark land, everything was black. The road underfoot was black, and the sky above was also black. Huaji walked alone in solitude, unable to see what lay ahead or the path she had taken.

  The surroundings were gloomy, making Huaji think of a fierce ghost. Suddenly, Huaji felt a sense of fear in her heart, but not so much that she was terrified. This made Huaji feel very conflicted.

  After walking for a long time, Huaji suddenly saw many blurry shadows in front of her. She finally saw something other than black, and excitedly rushed over. But as she got closer, she found that the shadow was actually a group of fierce ghosts.

  Hua Qi hadn't had time to be afraid, when the group of fierce ghosts began to circle around her, while turning they were also muttering something in their mouths, but Hua Qi didn't hear clearly, nor did she understand.

  Hua Qi felt very scared, she had never seen so many fierce ghosts before. So she started waving her hands to drive them away, while running forward. As she ran, Hua Qi tripped and fell.

  Then Hua Qi woke up from her dream, struggling to get up from the floor. Although she didn't hurt herself from the fall, it felt terrible to wake up and find herself not lying in bed.

  Rubbing her temples as she lay back in bed, Huaji couldn't help but wonder why she had such a dream. The scene in the dream felt so real, just like it had actually happened, and Huaji's heart was still racing wildly like it had in the dream.

  Was it a ghost giving herself a dream? But what was their purpose? Thinking and thinking, Huaji fell asleep again, fortunately this time she didn't have a dream.

  Hua Qi is a very special girl, her physical condition has been somewhat weak since childhood, and she often feels cold in some place suddenly, but it will get better when changing places. Moreover, since the age of five, she almost never goes out alone at night, nor does she go out with women at night, because she always sees some inexplicable shadows at night, thinking it's a person at first, but people around her all say they don't see anything.

  Later, the doctor said that those were all "hallucinations". Only Huaji herself knew that it wasn't a hallucination, just something that grown-ups couldn't explain and couldn't see. Some people said that they were ghosts.

  After sleeping for a while, Huaji got out of bed with difficulty. The weather outside was fine, but Huaji's mood wasn't, because on her one day off per week, she still had to help her little uncle move house.

  Early in the morning, Hua Qi was already waiting downstairs at her younger brother-in-law Hua Ou's new home. Although it was a sunny early summer morning, Hua Qi still felt a chill, a feeling that was all too familiar, so familiar that it made her feel nauseous.

  Enduring the bad feeling here, Huaji suddenly thought of that inexplicable dream she had this morning. Using "inexplicable" to describe this dream was simply too apt, because Huaji really couldn't understand why she had this dream or what it meant.

  Before long, Hua Ou arrived with the moving company and a truck full of his personal treasures. Hu Qi hurriedly urged Hua Ou to hurry up and move things quickly, so she could leave early.

  Huaji's hometown is a rural area, and her younger brother Huao has also been living in the countryside. Recently, her younger brother bought a second-hand house at a very low price. Although the location is not close to the city center or bustling commercial districts, transportation is still very convenient, with many buses and taxis available, and the roads are wide. Whether taking public transportation or driving yourself, it's all very convenient.

  But why is the price so low? Hua Qi asked her brother-in-law, but Hua Ou wasn't very clear about it either. In fact, it wasn't that low, it's just that the houses in that neighborhood had been rising in price, much higher than the original price, but Hua Ou's house had basically maintained its original price and was still mid-range. At the time, Hua Ou even suspected that if he held out a bit longer, the owner might even lower the price to sell it to him.

  As soon as Hua Qi entered the unit door, she felt that the whole building gave people a very oppressive feeling. Hua Qi intuitively felt that there must be a problem with this building.

  They cautiously entered Hua Ou's house, and Hua Qi felt a chill run down her spine, which was exactly the feeling of having ghosts around.

  As expected, that night Hua Qi was having hot pot at Hua Ou's new home. The two of them eating together wasn't very interesting, but since Hua Ou had just moved into a new house and was in a good mood, he ended up drinking a couple more cups. Hua Qi didn't want to let him drink alone, so she accompanied him for a couple of cups.

  But just as Hua Ou finished drinking and was about to return to his room, Hua Qi stopped him, because Hua Qi saw that there was a shadow hovering around the door of Hua Ou's room.

  "Uncle, otherwise you can just sleep on the sofa in the living room, your room is still empty."

  Hua Ou's heart skipped a beat as he knew his niece could see ghosts, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you? Did you see that thing again?"

  Hua Qi nodded and said: "That's right, I finally know why your house is so cheap. It turns out that you get what you pay for. Looks like you need to invite a master to take a look."

  Hua Ou knew that Hua Qi would never joke about this kind of thing, so he listened to her and slept on the sofa with a pounding heart. However, due to the effects of drinking, Hua Ou's head was groggy and although he was very tense, he still fell asleep in a daze at around 11 o'clock at night.

  Hua Qi was alone in the guest room, but she couldn't sleep at all, and every time she closed her eyes, she thought of the swaying shadow at the door of the master bedroom.

  After eleven o'clock, Huaji still felt cold even with the quilt on her, and vaguely seemed to hear a different sound. Huaji couldn't make it out clearly, but she was certain that it wasn't the sound of human snoring. As far as she knew, her brother-in-law never snored.

  As I listened, the sound became a bit clearer, like the kind of loud and sharp noise that people make when they're fighting. Actually, when Hua Qi was young and living in the countryside, whenever a group of adults would talk together, their voices would be very loud, just like they were arguing. This is because country people's voices are naturally very resonant and high-pitched, supposedly because the countryside is vast and sparsely populated, so if people spoke too softly, others wouldn't be able to hear them.

  But here is a city, people talk to each other without shouting at all, if not talking then they are really fighting? It seems that there are still many stories about this house.

  As Hua Qi grew older, she saw more and more ghosts. She had become accustomed to the existence of ghosts because she knew that as long as humans didn't provoke them, ghosts wouldn't bother her. In all the ghost-related things she encountered, only those who had a vendetta against the ghost would be haunted by it, or even killed by it. Those seeking substitute ghosts were an exception.

  Thinking of this, Huaji plucked up the courage to walk out of the room door. The guest room door was directly opposite the master bedroom, so as soon as Huaji walked out, she saw that the ghost at the entrance of the master bedroom was gone.
