Chapter 146: Strange Happenings at the Yan Family (Please Subscribe, Please Recommend)
Seeing this scene, Yan Junze was stunned for a moment.
But he felt that the old man, half-hidden in the corridor, had an even heavier chill emanating from behind him.
The next second, he followed Bao Yunjing into the living room.
Bao Yunjing had also seen the old man's eerie appearance standing in the corridor. She shivered, turned her back, and said to Yan Junze, "That's my father-in-law. You can call him Grandpa Yan."
"What is he doing?" Yan Junze couldn't help but ask.
Bao Yunjing shook her head. "He was fine just now. I told him we were having a guest today, and he said he would cook some good dishes. I don't know how it turned into this. Look... everyone in my family is..."
At this point, Bao Yunjing's face was full of worry.
Yan Junze could only try to comfort her. "It's okay, it's okay, leave it to me to handle."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look again at Grandpa Yan standing at the entrance of the corridor, only to find that the old man had vanished without a trace.
Noises came from the kitchen, as if Old Yan was already busy preparing to cook.
Truly a bit ominous!
At that moment, Bao Yunjing poured a cup of tea for Yan Junze, carefully lifted it, and placed it in front of him.
"Where is your daughter Wenwen?" Yan Junze asked.
"She's in her room doing her tuition homework. I'll call her out so you can meet her, get familiar," Bao Yunjing said.
Yan Junze didn't speak, just nodded his head.
Bao Yunjing turned and went to her daughter's room. A short while later, a girl who was only half a head shorter than her followed Bao Yunjing out.
This girl had her hair tied in a ponytail and wore a pale pink home pajama. She stood behind Bao Yunjing to the right, calmly staring at Yan Junze. Find adventures at empire
"Say hello," Bao Yunjing said with a hint of reproach.
"Hello, Brother," Yan Wenwen said with an unchanged expression, nodding slightly to Yan Junze.
"Hmm, sensible, didn't call me Uncle," Yan Junze thought with relief and said, "You go ahead with your homework. I might be disturbing you all today."
At that moment, Yan Wenwen's gaze suddenly flickered, as if she was anxious, trying to hide something, but quickly her expression returned to normal, and she blinked at Yan Junze.
After Yan Wenwen went back to her room to continue her homework, Yan Junze asked Bao Yunjing, "What about Uncle Yan?"
"I just called him. He's going to be late today, so we won't wait for him for dinner." After saying this, Bao Yunjing took some newly bought fruit into the kitchen to wash.
Yan Junze was sipping his tea while watching the television news.
Before long, Old Yan came out of the kitchen carrying the fruit Bao Yunjing had taken to wash, while Bao Yunjing stayed in the kitchen.
Gone was the look of indifference and stiffness. Old Yan smiled, placed the fruit tray filled with fruit in front of Yan Junze, and said, "Child, have some, I've been busy in the kitchen and didn't notice the guest arrive."
Yan Junze looked at him in surprise. "Grandpa Yan, didn't you see me in the hallway just now?"
"Did I?" Old Yan seemed bewildered, "I haven't left the kitchen, I've been washing vegetables. I just took the opportunity to wash the fruit that Yunjing brought."
Yan Junze paused for a moment, seemingly recalling something. "Then where is Auntie? She just went into the kitchen to wash the fruit, but you came out with it."
"Oh, she's better at stir-frying green peppers with shredded pork, so she took over." Just as Old Yan finished speaking, the sound of stir-frying could be heard from the kitchen.
Yan Junze nodded. "Has Grandpa Yan noticed anything amiss lately?"
Old Yan shook his head, suddenly closed his eyes, and after about two or three seconds, opened them again and said, "I'm getting old, many of my memories are very blurred. Sometimes I forget the things I did in the morning by the afternoon. I don't remember much."
"What happened to your head here?" Yan Junze pointed to a bruised area on Old Yan's forehead.
"Bumped into something when I got up, it's nothing," Old Yan waved his hand, "Hmm, I'll go check the kitchen, you just sit and relax."
Of course, Yan Junze remembered Bao Yunjing saying that one night, the old man had been hitting his head against the wall by himself.
Not long after Old Yan entered, Bao Yunjing's stir-fried pork with green peppers should be ready, and she came out with an apron tied around her waist.
Once she sat down, Yan Junze said, "Aunt, I may need to shoot some videos this time, is that okay? Of course, I'll blur out everyone's face in post-production and will not expose any family or personal privacy."
Bao Yunjing paused for a moment, then said, "That's fine, but you need to show us the final video first."
"No problem," Yan Junze nodded, "I won't record now, I'll start recording in the evening, which is the time you said things get more serious. Also, may I ask if you have reported this strangeness to an exorcist?"
Bao Yunjing nodded, "I remember we did."
"Then why not use connections to prompt them?"
"Hmm, I remember we also prompted them."
Yan Junze: "..."
Soon, the dining table near the kitchen was filled with delicious dishes, and Bao Yunjing called Yan Junze over to sit down, while Old Yan went to call Yan Wenwen, who was still doing homework.
The area of the room was quite spacious, about over 180 square meters, and the dining room next to the kitchen was also roomy. Bao Yunjing prepared eight dishes and one soup to entertain Yan Junze well.
There were seafood, chicken, duck, fish, and home-cooked dishes, making Yan Junze exclaim they had gone to too much trouble.
Everything seemed normal now, except for when he first entered the door. Not long after dinner, Yan He came home.
This guy was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a pot-belly, hair meticulously combed, and golden glasses, looking every inch a business elite.
After learning the purpose of Yan Junze's visit, Yan He became very enthusiastic and privately asked Yan Junze to prepare some charms or conduct an exorcism, one that could drive away the evil spirit once and for all.
It was clear that this guy had no clue about this field and was ignorant of the spread of strangenesses these days.
Having obtained the homeowners' permission, in the evening, Yan Junze took out his camera from his backpack, turned it on, and placed it on the living room's decorative cabinet, aiming the lens at most of the living room, also covering the doors of several bedrooms.
He, meanwhile, continued to wear a camera on himself.
Yan Junze had initially planned to sleep on the living room sofa, but at Bao Yunjing and her husband's insistence, he ended up sharing the big bed with Old Yan.
The bed was large, with a blanket for each, there was still plenty of space.
The old man was accustomed to sleeping early, and he had already fallen asleep on the bed while Yan Junze was still setting up the camera.
After everyone went back to their bedrooms and closed the doors, the house soon quieted down.
Yan Junze fiddled with the camera to make sure it wouldn't be tilted by lying down, while the steady snoring of Old Yan reached his ears.
Fortunately, the snoring was not loud, and Yan Junze could totally accept it.
Now, what puzzled him was that since he had arrived at the house, he had not received any notifications about a mysterious mission.
It seemed there were already some oddities here, but why hadn't he received any mission notifications?
This, Yan Junze could not understand.
Lying in bed, he checked his phone, which was almost eleven o'clock. Could it be that the entity knew he was here and chose to hide itself?
He turned off the phone screen and placed it on the bedside table next to him. Yan Junze lay down fully clothed, his eyes slightly narrowed, unsure how much time had passed.
Suddenly, he felt his phone screen light up. He opened his eyes slightly and lifted his head to glance at it. He saw not only was the screen on, but it also displayed the password input screen.
At that moment, a line of text popped up.
Yan Junze saw it very clearly, the line of text read: Wrong password entered, 4 more tries remaining.
