Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Ghost Play
 

Turns out, ever since Huang Xiaolong returned to the haunted house, he knew that the three ferocious ghosts had returned a step ahead of him!

They…were in the villa!

But Huang Xiaolong didn’t reveal it, for fear that it would spoil the mood of the barbecue.

Now, since these malicious spirits were acting upon their own accord, Huang Xiaolong won’t have any hesitation to annihilate them early!

All along, Huang Xiaolong had concealed the aura and authority of the “Ghost Enforcer”, so much so that the ghosts dared to appear. Otherwise, their rightful place was hiding and lurking!

“Holy crap! Master Long…the ghosts…they really have returned?” Yang Kai was petrified, scared out of his wits.

Lin Jing and Lin Zicong were relatively brave. They just moved a bit closer to Huang Xiaolong, but were not overly panicked.

Song Yuru was also managing. Ever since she was with Huang Xiaolong, she has seen plenty of ghosts, especially the ones in the city village. It wasn’t just ghosts, but also hairy zombies and flying zombies. All of these sights had hardened her mental resolve!

At this moment, the villa was pitch black, you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. The chilling, bone-piercing aura seeped in, causing an unbearable chill to climb up one’s neck.

Creak Creak Creak

All the windows started to shake.

“Well…don’t be scared, guys. These are just ghostly tricks intended to scare cowards,” Huang Xiaolong said and laughed casually.

The malicious ghosts didn’t manifest themselves. Instead, on a wall inside the villa, fluctuating ghostly energies appeared which then morphed into some eerie scenes…it was like an old movie being played on the wall.

The scenes were all in black and white!

“Xiaolong…what…what is this?” Song Yuru asked in surprise.

“Puff~ This is called ‘Ghost Play’, most of it played out incidents that happened while the ghosts were alive,” explained Huang Xiaolong. He seemed to enjoy it. “Well, since the ghosts want us to watch a show, let’s watch.”

Everyone’s gaze gathered on the wall, where black and white scenes were playing out, like in an old movie projector.

The background was the very villa they were in, a family of three, having a meal at the dining table.

The dining table was the same one where Huang Xiaolong and his companions were currently sitting. The people were naturally the same as in the happy family picture.

“Qiangqiang, come here, eat more vegetables, don’t be picky.” The mother lovingly put food in her son’s plate. With her gentle expression and soft voice, she embodied the perfect wife and mother.

The husband put down his chopsticks, sighed, and said, “Xiao Qin, you haven’t had an easy life following me all these years… you’ve suffered a lot… When we first met, I was just an ignorant salesman, yet you chose to marry me without hesitation… despite your parents’ objections back then”

“Hee hee hee” The wife smiled, her eyes full of reminiscence. “I did all that for love, I loved you”

“Pfft~ Mom, Dad, can I leave first…can you refrain from saying such things in front of me?” The child laughed.

“Kids these days!” The husband lovingly pat his son’s head.

“Things are better now…after ten years of hard work, my company is on track. We bought this villa, in the prestigious Binhai district. We also have a substantial amount of savings in the bank.” The husband laughed. Suddenly, his face turned serious, his eyes full of bitterness, “However…Xiao Qin, I really don’t understand why we can weather hardships together, yet we can’t enjoy wealth together?”

The wife’s face changed slightly. Her body trembled, and she anxiously said, “Honey…what…what are you talking about? I…I don’t understand what you’re saying…”

“Ha ha ha ha!” The husband let out a sick, maniacal laughter. “You think I don’t know? All these years, I have been busy with work. Wasn’t it all for our family? Wasn’t it all so that you and our son could live a good life? Yet, you went ahead and betrayed me!”

“No! I…I…I didn’t…” the wife was completely panicked.

BANG!

The husband slammed the table and stood up. “You thought I wouldn’t know about your affair with that beast? I treated him like a brother! Never thought, he was making a cuckold of me.” His laughter took on a hysterical edge, “You cheating @fu@yin@bitch… I wish I could just kill you both!”

“Waa Mom, Dad, stop fighting… stop fighting…” The child began to cry.

Despite being a “Ghost Play”, everything felt too real, like a replay of real-life scenes. This had Huang Xiaolong and the others engrossed.

In the scene.

Ding dong

The doorbell rang.

“But…for the kid’s sake, I can give you one more chance…” The husband’s eyes were full of struggle, showing the pain and helplessness of a middle-aged man when his family is faced with a huge change.

After he finished speaking, he went to open the door.

The door opened.

In the scene, the image of the person at the door was not shown.

However, upon seeing the visitor, the husband’s eyes bulged with rage, furious to the point of explosion. “Damn it! How dare you come here? I know everything! I knew it all along! All these years, I gave you work, a high salary, treated you as my best friend, and you ended up screwing me over! You are nothing but a dog I raised! Now, get out! I want you to never set foot in Binhai again!”

Thunk

A dull sound!

A sharp dagger was suddenly plunged into the husband’s heart!

Blood splattered!

“You…you…you…” The husband’s eyes bulged out, his face showing a look of disbelief. “You…dare…you dare to…kill…kill me…”

The dagger was pulled out, and then…

Puff

It was plunged back into the husband’s body.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

After being stabbed a dozen times, the husband fell into a pool of blood. His eyes rolled back, his body twitching non-stop.

“No! Husband No!” The wife rushed over, screaming in madness.

“Xiao Qin, since he has found out, why not just put an end to him… Don’t be afraid, I will take you away…far away from all this” a gloomy male voice sounded.

However, the scene never showed the murderer’s face.

“Husband! Husband!” The wife wept bitterly on the floor by her husband’s side. Then, she lifted her eyes. “You’re insane! You murderer! I…I’m going to call the police! I’m calling the police!”

As she spoke, the wife frantically grabbed her phone.

“Xiao Qin, you forced me to do this… It seems you still love him more than me… you…you’ve really disappointed me…” The man’s voice was distorted, the next moment…

Puff

The bloody dagger in his hand was plunged straight into the wife’s neck artery.

Without a sound, the wife collapsed.

Bump… Bump… Bump…

Heavy footsteps sounded as the murderer began advancing towards the child, who was still by the dining table.

“That’s sick! This…this guy…this guy is sick!” Song Yuru yelled, seething with anger. “Not only did he cuckold his friend and boss, but he also committed a murder! I…I really hope that the little boy manages to escape…”
