Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Underground
The abrupt disappearance of the haunted mansion sent everyone present, excluding Huang Xiaolong, into a state of extreme panic and shock.
The mansion swallowed people, left them without a way back. It seems now that Miao Erfang has unfortunately met the same fate as the previous victims.
“Today… Today, the haunted mansion disappeared early! It vanished early! Before… Before… it only disappeared at 9 o’clock every night… What’s going on? What’s going on…,” all the recent troubles have nearly driven the middle-aged man to madness. Under his restriction, no one dared to approach the haunted mansion anymore, the series of disappearances had been temporarily controlled, but today… another disaster had occurred!
Zhou Mi started sobbing intensely.
“Search! We must find that girl! Even if it means digging three feet into the ground, you must find her for me!” the middle-aged man yelled at the security guards in hysteria.
The security guards looked at each other, let alone not being able to find her, they did not even dare to try.
“Can all of you keep quiet?” Huang Xiaolong said indifferently, “Is it necessary to be so alarmed? As long as I’m here, no evil ghost can do any mischief.”
“Little Long, you hid a talisman on Miao Erfang, left a mark… now… now can you find her?” Xia Ying quickly asked.
Huang Xiaolong glanced around the complex, and then said: “Those who want to learn something, follow me.”
After that, Huang Xiaolong walked swiftly toward a multi-story elevator apartment outside the plaza.
Xia Ying and Zhou Mi did not hesitate, they carefully followed Huang Xiaolong.
The middle-aged man stomped, “Let’s go, let’s go together! If something else happens today, I won’t live any longer! I’m on the verge of breaking down!”
Following the boss’s orders, the security guards dared not disobey. After all, it’s good to work in this property with its benefits and good treatment. Moreover, the boss was a good person who organized trips every year. No one wanted to lose such a job, so, pulling up their courage, the security guards also followed.
Huang Xiaolong entered the main hall of the elevator apartment. As the apartment complex was already completed, the elevator could be used normally.
There were two elevators.
Huang Xiaolong walked toward the one on the left, and nodded slightly. “It’s this one.”
As there were no tenants, the elevator was unattended and stopped on the first floor.
Huang Xiaolong opened the elevator, got in, and the others swarmed in after him.
The elevator doors closed.
“Taoist… Can… can you really find that girl?” asked the middle-aged man, scared out of his wits.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t reply. He looked at the buttons. This elevator could go down to the B2 floor.
“Is B2 a garage?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
One of the security guards stuttered, “Yes, Taoist, both B1 and B2 are garages…”
Huang Xiaolong nodded and pressed the button to go down to B2.
The elevator began to descend.
Everyone held their breath.
Xia Ying asked in a trembling voice, “Little Long, is… is… is it on B2?”
Before Huang Xiaolong could answer, the elevator arrived at B2; however, before the doors could open, the elevator continued to descend!
Suddenly, the elevator light flickered and abruptly went out!
It was pitch black inside the elevator, but the elevator was obviously still descending!
“There’s a ghost! There’s a ghost!” The middle-aged man lost control and yelled. “Our building’s elevator is designed to only go down to B2… Besides, there is… there is… there is nothing below B2… only…only the foundation…”
Several security guards collapsed to the floor in fright.
Xia Ying and Zhou Mi, one on the left and one on the right, held Huang Xiaolong’s hand tightly, their palms sweating profusely.
The further the elevator descended, the colder it became, as if they were stepping into an icehouse, it felt as if they were descending into — hell!
Finally!
Ding~~~~
The elevator doors opened.
“We’re here. Let’s go.” Huang Xiaolong smiled, took out a handful of talisman scripts from his canvas bag—ward-off evil symbols—, and threw them out, each one entering the body of everyone inside.
“Here, I’ve hidden a ward-off evil symbol inside every one of you, so don’t be afraid anymore. Damn, each one of you is like a quail, what are you afraid of ghosts for when I am here?” Huang Xiaolong laughed sarcastically.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a burst of cold wind blew in.
However, having a ward-off evil symbol inside their bodies, the people in the elevator noticeably gained courage, making them feel like they had a small sun inside them, making them impervious to any evil.
“Taoist! You really are a capable person!” The middle-aged man gathered some courage, “Huh~ I’m not afraid anymore!”
Huang Xiaolong laughed and took the lead to walk out of the elevator.
Outside the elevator, a forest appeared before them. The forest was filled with a chilling aura and resentment, but it was lit up by clusters of red glow and at the end of the forest, there was the sound of ghostly laughter.
“Let’s go.” Huang Xiaolong led everyone towards the forest.
Just as they reached the forest.
Suddenly!
Drop after drop of cold blood dripped from the trees. Everyone looked up and saw that, hanging from a dozen or so trees, were bodies. No, more accurately, they were ghosts!
These ghosts were dressed in different attire: some were in security guard uniforms, some in construction worker clothes and there were even two dressed in Taoist robes!
Evil and ghastly smiles spread across their faces, their eyes were rolled back, their mouths dripped with filthy cold blood, showing their teeth and grinning, and their entire face looked as if it had been run over by a car, with their distorted features mixed in together—it was bloody, and shocking to the eye.
“Oh… it seems that those who disappeared, who were swallowed by the haunted mansion, were all killed.” A murderous intent flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.
“Third Brother!” One of the security guards suddenly bursted into tears, yelling at a ghost in a security uniform hanging from a tree, “Third Brother, you… you… you were… you were killed… Your death was so tragic! How should I explain this to your wife? I only told her that you had disappeared, but…”
“My death was so wrongful…” the ghost in the security uniform sobbed, “The day I entered that mansion, I was bewitched by a ghost, and then it killed me in confusion… Avenge me… You need to avenge me…”
“How many ghosts were involved in your harm?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“There were five ghosts in that mansion, they seemed like a family of five… some wear blue clothes, others wear purple clothes… it was terrifying…”
“Oh, the information from Metaphysics Association is wrong. There are not only one ghost in this haunted mansion, but a total of five fierce ghosts; and not only is there a blue-clothed fierce ghost, but also a purple-clothed one.” Huang Xiaolong smiled, “Now it’s getting lively.”
Huang Xiaolong then took out a ghost capture cylinder and collected the ghosts that were hanging from the trees.
He then proceeded further into the forest.
Everyone followed him.
As they walked, a two-story small western-style building appeared before them, concealed by trees!
Its architecture resembled the one that would appear on the courtyard plaza of the small district at 7 o’clock every evening! It turned out that the haunted mansion was underground!
