Chapter 299: Chapter 299 The Fourth Fierce Ghost!
Now, Huang Xiaolong and the others watched this ‘ghostly scene’ with a strong sense of immersion.
Everyone hoped that the child could escape this tragedy.
Soon, the murderer cornered the child in the bathroom. Then, he cruelly pushed the child’s head into the toilet, drowning him to death.
“Damn it! If I caught this person, I’d tear him apart!” Lin Zicong suddenly roared in anger, slamming the table, then turned to Lin Jing. “Sister, was the mass murder case in this haunted house ever solved? Did they catch the killer?”
“Well… I’ll have to go back to the precinct to find out. This case wasn’t handled by me.” Lin Jing frowned. “Don’t worry. I’ll check the archives tomorrow.”
“Wait… It’s not over yet.” Huang Xiaolong continued to watch the images on the wall thoughtfully.
At this moment, a blurry male figure stood in front of the bathroom mirror,”Ha…ha..ha.. They’re all dead… Everyone is dead… And me? Xiao Qin is dead… What’s the point of me being alive?”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Splat
The man stabbed himself in the throat with the dagger he was holding!
Blood spurted out, staining the mirror with a shocking red trail.
“Seriously? Did he commit suicide? The murderer committed suicide?” Yang Kai remarked in disbelief. “I didn’t think the ending would turn out like this…”
As the scene played out, the ghostly aura on the wall disappeared…
Huang Xiaolong became unusually silent.
“Little Long… What are you thinking about?” Song Yuru asked curiously.
A few breaths later, Huang Xiaolong lifted his head, speaking as if to himself. “I’ve made a mistake… I seem to have messed up a part of this.”
“Little Long, what are you talking about? What went wrong?” Lin Jing asked in surprise.
“There shouldn’t be only three malevolent ghosts in this mansion, there should be four.” Huang Xiaolong slowly stood up. “For now, let’s deal with these three that have already appeared.”
Saying this, Huang Xiaolong recited a fire bell spell; pure beams of light radiated from his body, illuminating the pitch-black mansion and purifying the lingering Yin energy and resentment energy into nothingness.
Just then!
A red shadow, filled with Yin energy, shot down from the ceiling of the mansion at Huang Xiaolong!
The others instinctively looked up and saw clearly that it was a red-clothed vengeful ghost and also the husband who was stabbed to death!
His entire body was covered in bloody holes, his face almost rotted, but one could faintly make out his features and his eyes, filled with resentment and hatred!
His fingers were sharp as nails, and it was obvious that if they slashed someone, they would be even sharper than a knife!
This red-clothed ghost did not hide its form, so Lin Jing, Song Yuru, and the others could also see it.
“Little Long, be careful!” Lin Jing and Song Yuru shouted in unison.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head slightly, took out the soul funnel, and in one breath, captured the red male ghost.
“Phew…” Lin Jing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
“Did you all see that? He was the first male owner of this mansion, the pitiful husband…Based on what we know, he died unjustly in life. After his death, his resentment was too strong, and he evolved into a red vengeful ghost. These unjustly killed ghosts generally do not recognize their kin, there’s no reasoning with them. So, I had to capture him.” Huang Xiaolong explained briefly, then headed directly towards the second floor.
Lin Jing and the others, not daring to slack off, followed closely behind.
On the second floor corridor, two red vengeful ghosts appeared!
One was the child who was drowned in the toilet.
His face was pale and bloated, water blisters came out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, but his whole body was emiting an aura of resentment, the sight was horrifying to the extreme.
The other red vengeful ghost was naturally the unfaithful wife.
There was still a dagger stuck in her neck, her head drooping. Her bloodshot eyes bulged out, her face was covered in red and green blood vessels, as if her facial muscles were pieces of raw flesh…
“It’s my fault…I was wrong…I shouldn’t have cheated… I destroyed our home…” the wife was murmuring dully.
“If you had known you’d regret it, why did you do it in the first place?” Huang Xiaolong shook his head, and before the two red-clothed ghosts could pounce, he had captured them in his soul funnel.
As Huang Xiaolong captured the family of three, all the resentment, ghost energy, and Yin energy in the mansion disintegrated like smoke.
The lights and moonlight outside also beamed in unobstructed.
“Wow! Master Long, you’re so awesome! Three vengeful ghosts, just like that, effortlessly defeated by you!” Yang Kai flattered, “I thought there would be a fight…but…a few minutes after Master Long started, it was all settled! This haunted house is now clean! Its habitable for people now!”
“Shut up!” Huang Xiaolong scolded in a cold voice.
“Master, you said earlier that there should be four malevolent ghosts in this mansion…” Lin Zicong pondered. “So, you’re saying that there’s one more ghost, that’s the murderer who committed suicide?”
“This guy should still be in the mansion, but he’s hiding very well…” Huang Xiaolong raised his eyebrow. “It seems that it isn’t as simple as just a red vengeful ghost… Alright, let me burn a few branches of spirit money, then I should be able to find him. Heh heh heh… He even tried to play hide-and-seek with me?”
Indeed, there was a fourth vengeful ghost in this haunted house. Huang Xiaolong could sense its presence, but it was hiding very well.
A regular Taoist who comes here would probably think everything is fine after dealing with the family of three, the three red vengeful ghosts.
In fact, if the fourth malevolent ghost wasn’t dealt with, this house would still be a haunted house!
Because the level of the fourth ghost surpassed the category of a red vengeful ghost, it was more fierce, more evil, and more cunning!
Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to go all out to find the fourth vengeful ghost…
Bang
The mansion’s front door was inexplicably knocked!
“My god… Could it be that the fourth ghost is knocking on the door?” Yang Kai’s chubby cheeks trembled slightly.
Huang Xiaolong said, somewhat speechless, “Yang Kai, go open the door.”
“Huh? Me?” Yang Kai looked at Huang Xiaolong nervously. “Master Long, you want me to open the door? What if…”
“Are you going or not?” Huang Xiaolong glared at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was afraid of ghosts, but he was more afraid of Huang Xiaolong, so he ran downstairs to open the door.
“Young Master Lin, turn on all the other lights in the mansion,” Huang Xiaolong instructed.
