Chapter 64: It's Not Clean Here

"Is that so?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned: "Are you sure there is really something causing trouble?"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but someone has. And that place is filled with a gloomy, chilling aura as soon as night falls; it seems there really is a problem."

"Then let's head over there tonight." Chen Yu smiled.

"Head over there at night?" Xia Tian's expression changed: "Are you serious?"

"Serious. Trust me, since it's haunted, you definitely won't be able to see the cause if you go during the day," Chen Yu said.

"Then, do you know how to catch ghosts?" Huang Yiqiang asked, clearly unable to wait.

"I know a little." Chen Yu thought for a moment and nodded: "But I need to make some preparations in advance."

"Alright then, we'll go tonight. Let's risk it." Xia Tian thought about it; he hadn't done anything to compromise his conscience, and besides, with Chen Yu tagging along, what was there to fear?

At night, the group had a few drinks. Xia Tian had been afraid, but alcohol bolstered the coward's courage, and the three of them arrived at the problematic construction site together.

This location was a bit remote for now, but following the planning, it couldn't be wrong. The buildings had already been topped off, and some areas were already undergoing landscaping, but due to one incident after another, the relevant departments were afraid of being held liable and had shut down the site.

There were a few security guards on duty. The guard who greeted them, Lao Li, had one hand that was a bit inconvenient, but he had a fierce look on his face.

The residential complex was dimly lit at night, with dark, hollow spaces everywhere. Not to mention if there was actually a problem, even if there wasn't, just staying in this place was creepy enough.

"President Xia, Xiao Zhao is taking the patrol vehicle to look around. Please wait a moment; he'll be back in the patrol vehicle shortly to take you inside," Lao Li said.

"Xiao Zhao is truly brave. I'll give you two a raise later." Xia Tian nodded. Truth be told, with the string of incidents and the messy rumors, there really weren't many people who dared to keep staying here.

"Thank you, President Xia." Lao Li nodded and thanked him repeatedly.

Chen Yu looked at the guard booth to the side. Suddenly, his brow furrowed. A burst of black energy appeared abruptly, and a pale, gloomy figure suddenly appeared beside Lao Li.

The security guard kept chatting and laughing with the group, not noticing the figure beside him at all.

Moreover, this figure had a fierce look and was a ruthless character, but apart from Chen Yu, no one else could see it. The others only felt the temperature drop sharply and felt a chill in their hearts.

"What did you do for a living before, big brother?" Chen Yu saw the transparent figure breathing toward the guard, baring fangs and brandishing claws, but not daring to actually approach, and couldn't help but feel curious.

It was true that this place had a problem; the transparent shadow before his eyes was excellent evidence. Moreover, this thing was a genuine malevolent entity; the yin energy on its body wouldn't have condensed without decades of time. It was truly not easy for this middle-aged guard to live here safe and sound.

"I was a pig butcher. Later, a half-ton pig king broke free and kicked my right hand, so I couldn't do it anymore, and that's why I came to be a security guard," Lao Li laughed.

"No wonder." Chen Yu smiled: "An average person wouldn't be able to suppress this place."

"Haha, I always carry my slaughtering knife. I've used this knife for decades; any filthy thing is afraid when it sees it," Lao Li laughed heartily.

Just at this moment, a sightseeing vehicle drove over, and there was a young security guard in the driver's seat.

"Xiao Zhao is here. President Xia, President Huang, you can go now," Lao Li ran up and said.

"Let's go." Chen Yu glanced at Xiao Zhao in the driver's seat, then sat down beside him, while Huang Yiqiang and Xia Tian sat behind him.

"You're Xiao Zhao, right? Is the construction site okay?" Huang Yiqiang asked.

"No problem, President Huang. I've checked everything," Xiao Zhao replied.

"I just told the guard uncle that I'd give you two a raise. This place is really too scary," Xia Tian said, trembling.

"Thank you, President Xia." Xiao Zhao said as he drove forward.

"Brother, have you figured out what the problem is here?" Huang Yiqiang asked: "The rumors are very eerie. If I had known, I would have brought the Zhenzhai Sword from home for self-defense."

"There is a problem, and the problem is very serious." A faint flash of light appeared in Chen Yu's eyes, and a black-and-white world appeared before him.

More than a dozen clusters of black energy were permeating the surroundings, and there were also transparent shadows that had taken human form pointing at this patrol vehicle. Damn it, this isn't just haunted; is this place a ghost nest?

"What problem? Chen Yu, hurry up and tell us. The less you say, the more afraid I get," Xia Tian began to shiver.

"Forget it, you two should go back. I'll go alone," Chen Yu said: "Stop the car."

"Go back? Why go back?" Xia Tian stared blankly at Chen Yu.

"Xia Tian, don't ask. If Brother Chen says to go back, he must have his reasons," Huang Yiqiang hurriedly stopped Xia Tian.

Xia Tian tightly shut his mouth. Since Chen Yu said to go back, it meant the problem was very serious.

"Xiao Zhao, stop the car," Huang Yiqiang said.

"Presidents, the car cannot stop until it reaches the destination," Xiao Zhao continued driving forward.

"What do you mean?" Xia Tian was stunned.

"I said, stop the car," Chen Yu's brow furrowed.

"And I said, it can't stop." Xiao Zhao suddenly twisted his head. With a crack, his head was twisted hard to his back.

He gave a sinister smile, his face becoming filled with a gloomy, chilling aura, and at the same time, the flesh on his face began to rot.

"Ah... ghost, a ghost!" Xia Tian and Huang Yiqiang were scared pale.

The two of them instinctively wanted to jump out of the car and run, but their legs were shaking so hard from fear that they couldn't even stand up.

"Presidents, since you've come, don't leave anymore." Xiao Zhao stood up stiffly. Crack, crack—his arms were also twisted hard to his back. He stretched out his rotting hands and reached toward Xia Tian.

"Get lost." Chen Yu locked his brows and let out a violent shout.

Xiao Zhao's stiff body trembled. Chen Yu's shout actually forced him back two steps.

"Don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise, the Master will not let you off." Xiao Zhao's voice was dull and rigid.

Chen Yu kicked him flying. Thump—Xiao Zhao's body was pierced through by a piece of steel rebar exposed on the ground.

But facing the dumbfounded expressions of Xia Tian and Huang Yiqiang, he forcibly pulled his own body off the rebar.

"You all must die... all must die." Xiao Zhao struggled to crawl up and walked forward with a stumbling gait.

"What is this thing? Chen Yu, what do we do?" Xia Tian picked up a brick from the ground and asked, trembling.

"Nanli Heavenly Fire, burn!" Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, and two paper talismans, one yellow and one red, appeared in his hand. He formed a Dao Seal with both hands, and the paper talismans flew forward, binding tightly onto Xiao Zhao's body.

Hum—the Talisman Paper suddenly lit up, and two balls of fire shot into the sky. Xiao Zhao screamed and fell backward.

The red and yellow flames intertwined, and after a moment, they extinguished. Xiao Zhao collapsed on the ground. Nanli Heavenly Fire burns away all the filthy things of the world.
