Chapter 1250: Exploration

"Adventure?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. "You know that place?"

"I do. A few internet celebrities hyped it up, and they would often livestream in that area at night. But later, something happened, and no one dared to go in anymore," the driver laughed.

"What happened? Did they really encounter something unclean?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

"So they say," the driver said mysteriously. "There really is something unclean in that place. A livestreamer saw it while preparing to broadcast, and then the whole team was so scared they fled in a panic."

"Ever since then, no one has dared to go there to livestream. But there are still thrill-seekers who aren't afraid of death and insist on going to that place. Are you going there for an adventure too?"

"There are really too many idiots." Chen Yu shook his head helplessly. Some people do it for traffic, others are purely curious.

But they don't know that if they really encounter that thing in this place, they won't even have a chance to come out alive.

The driver was very talkative. He drove Chen Yu to the destination along the way. When they reached the edge of the Urban Village, the driver said, "Brother, I can only take you this far. I don't dare to go any further inside."

"Alright, dropping me off here is fine." Chen Yu nodded, paid the fare, and got out of the car.

The sky was already gradually darkening. Although the Urban Village was not large, the lights inside were dim.

Several excavators were still parked here. Perhaps the person in charge never imagined that this project, touted as a key municipal project, would be halted for years.

Chen Yu walked inside at a leisurely pace. He stopped in front of a nearly collapsed residential house. The area around this house was littered with bricks and stones, blocking his path forward.

Just as he was about to cross this area of scattered rubble, a security guard rushed over: "What are you doing? Unauthorized personnel, don't go in. There's nothing inside."

"Big brother, I have some business inside." Chen Yu turned his head to look at the security guard. He couldn't help but smile; this security guard wasn't that thing, he was a normal person.

Moreover, the baleful aura on him was very heavy. People who dare to work in a place like this must be tough characters; either their Eight Characters are hard, or they were tough characters in their past life.

Looking at the security guard before him, with his full body of baleful aura, he should be a Butcher; otherwise, he wouldn't be doing this job here.

"What business? It's just a pile of broken houses inside, what's there to see? The things spread on the internet are all fake, don't come over to look," the security guard uncle waved his hand and said.

"Alright then, I won't go in. Big brother, how long have you been working here?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Two or three years, why?" the security guard asked.

"Two or three years?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. This security guard had been working here for quite a long time.

Judging from Qiqi's behavior and the girl who died, the female lead in the script should be a tough character, but the security guard had been working here for so long, and he was actually fine?

"I used to slaughter cattle. Once, my leg was injured by a wounded cow, and I couldn't do that work anymore, so I just found a random job," the security guard brother said. "It's really not what you think it is here, hurry and leave."

Just as Chen Yu was about to ask in detail, a cry suddenly came vaguely from one side. This cry was not loud, and it wasn't a wail of grief, but more like a soft sobbing.

Chen Yu's expression changed, and he looked in that direction, while the security guard's expression also became tense.

"Little brother, take this big brother's advice. Go back quickly, don't go in. The thing inside is fierce." As the security guard spoke, he walked toward a security booth at the edge of the Urban Village.

"Why aren't you following yet?" Seeing Chen Yu standing there motionless with a thoughtful expression, the security guard couldn't help but get anxious. "Hurry and come in with me to hide."

"Alright, thank you, big brother." Chen Yu smiled and walked over with the security guard.

After entering the room, the security guard turned on the indoor lights, then tightly closed the doors and windows, and only then did he Songyi.

He sat down and took out a can of beer to hand to Chen Yu: "Little brother, your purpose for coming here doesn't look like an adventure. I feel like you're different from the ones who came here looking for thrills before. You're here to do serious business."

"Big brother, I don't think you're an ordinary person either," Chen Yu glanced at the security guard.

"My ancestors were shamans, and they also dabbled in these things, but by my generation, it's mostly lost. My family used to make a living by catching ghosts and exorcising evil, but now people don't believe in this stuff, so I changed my profession to slaughtering cattle."

The security guard laughed and said, "The few security guards before me either got scared into a mental breakdown or ran away after working one night. Only I have a heavy baleful aura, which can suppress that thing."

"The resentment is too heavy," Chen Yu shook his head. "And now there are people making a living off this, turning her story into a plot, attaching a baleful aura to it, and letting some students play it like a game."

"Who is so malicious?" The security guard was shocked. "Isn't this harming people? If that thing's baleful aura latches onto those people playing the game, it will harm them to death one by one."

"This kind of thing has already happened," Chen Yu said. "I came today to investigate this matter. One girl was saved by me, one committed suicide, and the other two are missing. I feel they should be inside here."

"Really?" The security guard's expression changed. He stood up abruptly. "Brother, what is your name? My name is Li Daniu."

"Chen Yu," Chen Yu said.

"Brother Chen, if there really are people inside, then we must save their lives. To tell you the truth, I've been here for two or three years, and I've wanted to solve this matter several times, but the thing inside is too fierce."

"And she must have suffered great grievances before she died. If the resentment isn't removed, she won't be able to peacefully enter Reincarnation," Li Daniu said. "So I never went to deal with this, but since she is becoming more and more dangerous now, I think it's necessary to eliminate her."

"Then shall we go in and explore?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Alright, let me get some things first." Li Daniu ran to the side, took out a bag, then unzipped it and checked the items inside before saying with relief, "Let's go."

"Things passed down from your ancestors?" Chen Yu glanced at it and found many treasures inside: a Yin-Yang Mirror, a Compass, a Peach Wood Sword, and Talismans.

"Yes, they haven't been used for decades. I don't know if the ancestors' things can still be used," Li Daniu laughed.

"Alright, let's go. The items will definitely be usable, but they might not necessarily come in handy," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Li Daniu patrolled the construction site every day, so he was very familiar with the place. He led Chen Yu around through a small path on the side, and the two began to search here.

"There is a Dry Well, that is the scene of the incident. Let's go to the Dry Well and take a look," Chen Yu said.

"As far as I know, this area is a very old place. There are at least three or four Dry Wells. Which one exactly is it?" Li Daniu asked.
