Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Residential Area
Having accepted the so-called most difficult challenge, Huang Xiaolong set off with Xia Ying, leaving the hotel behind.
“Little Long, are we going to the haunted Pegui Garden Estate right now?” Xia Ying hurriedly asked.
“No rush. Why should we be in a hurry? We have plenty of time. Besides, the haunted house in the complex only appears at 7 pm every evening, doesn’t it?” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly. “This is my first time in Shaanxi Province. How about you accompany me for a stroll?
…
Dong’an City International Airport.
A beautiful girl exited the terminal. She was about twenty, with a pair of high heels accentuating her tall figure. She was wearing a short black leather skirt, fishnet stockings, and her long, straight hair framed her oval face. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her slender waist swayed as she walked. Her pair of round, glistening eyes gave off a mischievous vibe.
The girl held a selfie stick with a phone fixed on it, speaking into the phone. “Hi folks, I’ve arrived in Dong’an City now. This time, we’ll definitely uncover what’s going on with Er Fang…”
After she finished, she packed up her selfie stick, put on a facemask, and disappeared into the crowd with a cloud of excitement.
Several young men and women were rushing over excitedly, chattering, “Isn’t that the host Zhou Mi? Wow! Hurry up and ask her for a photo and autograph! She’s even more beautiful in person!”
This beautiful girl was indeed the female host, Zhou Mi.
Upon leaving the airport, Zhou Mi paced the streets of Dong’an City, not yet commencing her live-streaming. With a furrow in her brow, she murmured to herself, “What’s going on with Er Fang… Could she really be cursed?”
As she spoke, Zhou Mi opened WeChat, and found Huang Xiaolong in the contacts list. Her large, sprightly eyes flashed with allure and a hint of awe. Taking a deep breath, she sent Huang Xiaolong a voice message. “Master Huang Xiaolong, do you remember me? I’m Zhou Mi. I’m in Dong’an City, Shaanxi Province… So here’s the thing, one of my girlfriends seems to be possessed by an evil spirit, could you possibly help me out?”
At that moment, Huang Xiaolong was strolling through the streets with Xia Ying
Upon hearing the notification sound of WeChat, Huang Xiaolong pulled out his phone and replied, “Hmm… A female host is asking for me? Is she trying to see me?”
Huang Xiaolong listened to the voice message sent by Zhou Mi.
Then he sent back a message. “Your girlfriend? Possessed by what kind of evil?”
Almost instantly, Zhou Mi replied, “Master Huang Xiaolong, my girlfriend is also a live-stream host, quite popular. But, her recent streams have been really eerie… She’s been wearing the same red dress for several days, the kind a bride would wear, with matching red high heels, red stockings – an all-red ensemble. She’s been putting on heavy makeup, and just emitting this creepy laugh during her broadcasts, scaring off all the viewers. I tried to call her, but she didn’t answer. The content of her streams is also very strange… she walks around the streets late at night, wearing a red dress and heavy makeup…”
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong figured she might be indeed possessed. Still, it was likely by some lesser ghost, otherwise, she’d already be dead.
“Ah, going out late at night wearing such vivid clothing, especially a red dress, does indeed attract ghosts easily,” Huang Xiaolong sent back a voice message, “However, I’m busy these days. I’ll contact you in a few days. Speaking of which, I’m also in Dong’an City – so much for the small world! Haha~”
“Master Huang Xiaolong, you’re also in Dong’an City? Wow! It seems we’re fated to meet! However, please hear me out. My girlfriend might be in serious danger, could you please help her as soon as possible? I know you’re an authority in this field… Don’t worry, I’ll make it worth your while,” Zhou Mi pleaded with a soft voice.
Currently, Huang Xiaolong had no time to deal with such small matters and was about to defer.
Zhou Mi sent another voice message, “By the way, Master Huang Xiaolong, my girlfriend has been circling a certain residential complex during her broadcasts over these past few days. I’ve been observing it, and it seems like the estate isn’t even open for residence yet, it’s quite deserted… It’s called something… let me think… I think it’s called ‘Pegui Garden Estate’…”
“Huh? Little Long? Pegui Garden Estate?” Standing beside him, Xia Ying couldn’t help exclaiming, “A female host being possessed, Pegui Garden Estate, haunted house? Little Long… could there be some kind of connection?”
“Perhaps there is,” Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself.
Without further delay, he sent Zhou Mi a voice message: “Meet at the main entrance of Pegui Garden Estate.”
“Let’s head straight to Pegui Garden Estate. I want to see what kind of ghost there is in this estate,” Huang Xiaolong smirked.
The two got in the car and headed towards Pegui Garden Estate.
The estate had just been completed; some workers were still inside, sprucing up the greenery.
The estate was rather beautiful with favorable fengshui, lush gardens, and seemed to be a great place to live in.
At first glance, Huang Xiaolong didn’t notice any eerie aura or resentful spirit in the estate.
“Little Long, this estate seems quite normal,” Xia Ying also scanned the estate.
“Let’s take a closer look after we get in, and ask around. According to the information from the Metaphysics Association, the haunted house usually appears at around 7 pm and disappears without a trace past 9 pm,” Huang Xiaolong said, bombarded by mounting curiosity.
Just then, a pleasant female voice called out, “Master Huang Xiaolong!”
Turning towards the voice, Huang Xiaolong and Xia Ying saw Zhou Mi, wearing a facemask, getting out of a taxi and rushing over in their direction.
“Oh… I’ve seen this girl’s live-stream, I recognize her big eyes, she’s quite cute and she doesn’t exploit her physical appeal for viewers either,” Xia Ying looked at Huang Xiaolong with suspicion, then whispered, “Already making a move?”
“What are you talking about, Xia Ying?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but chuckle in disbelief.
Zhou Mi dashed up to Huang Xiaolong, also examined Xia Ying with a hint of jealousy, inwardly remarking, ‘Is this Master Huang Xiaolong’s girlfriend? She’s so mature and pretty… Oh God, so Master Huang Xiaolong is into the sexy and tall miss type!’
“Take off your mask,” Huang Xiaolong jokingly proposed. “You’re not so famous that every single person in the country knows you, are you?”
“Please don’t tease me, Master Huang Xiaolong. No way…” Zhou Mi hastily removed her mask, subconsciously sticking out her tongue, looking extremely cute.
“You’re quite pretty, young lady. Xia Ying.” Xia Ying extended her hand.
“You’re very pretty too, my name is Zhou Mi. You can call me Mimi,” Zhou Mi grasped Xia Ying’s hand warmly.
“You said your girlfriend comes here every night for her live-streams?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“Yes, this is exactly the place, I’m not mistaken,” Zhou Mi confirmed after repeatedly checking, then added, “But she never goes in, just circles around the outside… it’s as if… how do I put it… it’s like she’s a thief scouting the place.”
“Wow, that’s quite an analogy, young lady,” Xia Ying couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Your friend is lucky, she might’ve disappeared if she entered this place after dark,” Huang Xiaolong suddenly mentioned.
“What? Really? Master Huang Xiaolong, is there something wrong with this estate?” Zhou Mi seemed surprised.
“Let’s go inside and check. Let’s find someone to ask for more details,” Huang Xiaolong decided, striding toward the entrance of the estate.
Pegui Garden Estate, the eerie place with houses that swallowed people every night!
What kind of hidden secrets does it hold?
