“I heard that the younger brother of the owner once brought these animals back after the owner died. But later on, he dreamed that his dead brother chased after him for his pets. He was so frightened that he returned these things the next day and never dared to step foot here again. These pets are private property. The police can’t interfere even if they can’t bear to see them like this,” Chi Jiao explained. She then carefully observed the place.
The apartment was more than 150 square meters, so it wouldn’t be easy to search the whole place.
“Beitang Lie, you go to the left while I go to the right. Let’s split up and investigate.” Chi Jiao looked at the time and realized that it was already 7:00 PM. She had to speed up the investigation.
As soon as Beitang Lie entered, he realized that there were bloodstains on the floor and sofa. Thinking about those rumors, he realized that he was right to be afraid. But now, Chi Jiao suggested that they split up. She might as well ask him to die!
“I refuse!” Beitang Lie instinctively resisted.
“I can’t tolerate your refusal. This is an order.” With that, Chi Jiao endured the unpleasant smell and walked towards the master bedroom.
Beitang Lie was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He endured his fear and hurriedly turned on the lights in all the rooms before nervously heading to the second bedroom.
After Beitang Lie entered the second bedroom, he realized that there seemed to be a leak in this room. He stepped on a puddle of water the moment he entered.
“Eh… what’s that disgusting thing?” Beitang Lie lowered his head and took a look. He discovered that the water stain didn’t look like ordinary water. It was sticky and blurry and also carried a foul smell. It was some sort of sticky liquid.
Just as Beitang Lie was thinking about this, the lamp in the secondary bedroom suddenly flickered twice and then lost its light.
Beitang Lie’s scalp felt like it was about to explode. He could already imagine that the person who had died tragically in this room had already become a vengeful ghost. At this moment, it was crawling out from under the bed, from inside the closet, and from behind the curtains, rushing towards him.
Having a strong desire to live, Beitang Lie was so frightened that he rushed towards the door without hesitation.
But before he could touch the door, a black shadow dropped from the ceiling like a tail. It suddenly swept across and closed the door with a bang.
The room instantly fell into complete darkness.
A strange stench assaulted his nose. Beitang Lie suddenly felt something dripping from the ceiling.
His body trembled uncontrollably as he stiffly raised his hand to wipe off the liquid that had dripped onto his face.
The foul-smelling liquid was somewhat sticky, like blood.
Beitang Lie’s legs went weak. He mustered his courage and motivated himself by turning on the flashlight. “It’s alright, it’s alright. There are no ghosts in this world. Don’t scare yourself…”
After speaking, he took a few deep breaths and raised his flashlight to shine at the ceiling.
He had no idea what was going on, but he was shocked by what he saw. Beitang Lie watched as a 20-meter-long black lizard crouched on the ceiling, looking at him with its head tilted.
The lizard’s pitch-black eyes were sinister as it tilted its head and cracked its lips like a human. It stretched out its sticky tongue and licked Beitang Lie’s face.
A smooth and foul smell wafted over as a cold tongue licked Beitang Lie’s face, scaring him so much that his soul nearly leaped out of his body.
In the next second, his scream spread throughout the entire apartment building.
