From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 1000
Chapter 1000 Peerless Mansion
“We’re here! That’s the courtyard in front of us. You guys can go in by yourself. I have to go ahead of time …”
The street office boy suddenly stuffed Yan Qing with the keys and ran away. It was as if there was a monster chasing him. Chen Guangda and the others immediately looked forward in surprise. In front of them was a courtyard that belonged to only one family. The courtyard looked quite spacious. Not only was there a large and wealthy tiled house, there were even several sand coconut trees inside.
However, there was something wrong with the courtyard. The surrounding houses were very concentrated. Only a vegetable field surrounded it. The area near the courtyard wall was overgrown with weeds. Obviously, even the farmer did not want to get close to the house. It was like a large grave, revealing its identity as a ferocious mansion everywhere.
“Let’s go! Let’s go take a look …”
Chen Guangda walked forward without hesitation. When he arrived at the courtyard, the paint covering the door was already very mottled. The red paint that rose up was like dried blood. The two bronze-stained lion heads on the door also looked at them coldly as if they were laughing coldly.
“Bang ~”
As soon as Chen Guangda opened the iron lock on the door, it smashed onto the ground fiercely like a shot put. Chen Guangda could only roll his eyes and pick up the iron lock. He was not used to the strong magnetic field here until now, and when he pushed open the courtyard door, a gloomy chill instantly pounced on his face.
“Wow! It’s so cool …”
Xia Fei and the other girls immediately cried out in surprise. Not only did they turn a blind eye to the gloomy atmosphere, they also had the urge to dive into the cold bath. However, someone behind them suddenly cried out in alarm, “Are you crazy? This is a haunted mansion, you must not enter!”
“How fierce is it? Is it even more fierce than a mass grave …”
Chen Guang turned around with a big laugh. He saw a Little Geezer who was driving a carriage. The carriage was full of stinky dung buckets. However, he said nervously, “Doll! If I don’t joke with you, the number of people who died here is countless. No one can stay here for three days. The people who lived here either went crazy or committed suicide!”
“Really? What’s going on …”
Chen Guangda took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party, but Little Geezer waved his hand and said, “This house used to be the management center of the scenic area. After the catastrophe, Master Niang occupied this place. His subordinates gave all the female tourists there and even killed their men. Who knew that those women were very stubborn? That night, they hung themselves in a row on the beams and committed suicide!”
“Then you’re haunted …”
Chen Guangda still looked at him with a smile, and Little Geezer said, “This house was rewarded to the third master. The third master let his concubines live here. Who knew that two concubines committed suicide that night? The other two were frightened mad. They took off their clothes and ran around the streets, telling people that there were female ghosts trying to kill them!”
“It’s so exciting …”
Li Tingyu looked at him brightly. Little Geezer immediately patted his thigh and said, “Little girl! I’m not trying to scare you. If you don’t believe me, go and ask around. Who doesn’t know that this is a ferocious mansion? There are more than a dozen people living here. None of them have a good ending. Even the third master has died here. This mansion has been empty for a long time!”
“Thank you, sir. Remember to help us collect the dung buckets tomorrow morning …”
Chen Guangda cupped his hands at the other party carelessly. He turned around and brought the girls inside. Who knew that they would be dumbfounded when they entered? This house had probably been abandoned for a long time. Even the cracks in the stone slabs had grown a large number of wild flowers and weeds. It was almost impossible to see the ground at the waist-deep height.
“Mom! How long do we have to pack this up …”
Xia Fei grabbed her head in agony. The thing she was most afraid of was doing housework. However, Chen Guangda said indifferently, “It’s not like we’re going to stay here forever. Let’s clear out a path first and then clean up the room. This task will be handed over to you ladies!”
“Doll! Listen to my advice, this place really can’t live …”
Little Geezer shouted anxiously outside the door. However, before he could finish his words, he was suddenly shocked. He saw Yan Qing pull out a dead skeleton from the grass nest and said to him with a smile, “It’s fine, sir. My man is not afraid of ghosts. Thank you!”
“My mother …”
Little Geezer’s old face suddenly turned green and he quickly ran away as if he was dragging the dung truck. However, Li Tingyu kicked a skull and said, “I really don’t understand what they’re thinking. Right now, no one has died anywhere. Even if they’re alive, they’re still afraid of death. They’re really scaring me!”
“Haha ~ This is awesome. There’s a well in here …”
Li Damei pulled a wooden bucket out of the grass nest after standing under a date coconut tree. Unexpectedly, a few more bones rolled out of the bucket after she poured it into the ground. She immediately said dejectedly, “Looks like we need to buy a water purifier. Otherwise, we’ll definitely have diarrhea if we drink this water!”
“I’ll make it simple later. We’re poor now …”
Chen Guang laughed out loud and turned around to walk into the room. Who knew that Jiang Shilin would suddenly stick close to him and hug his arm tightly. “We … we really want to live in this damn place. What’s the difference between sleeping in a grave? It’s too scary!” He cried out in horror.
“Do you think that if there were ghosts in this world, I wouldn’t have seen them before …”
Chen Guangda looked at her playfully, but Jiang Shilin turned around to look at Yan Qing and the others. She pouted and said grievously, “Of course you don’t fear ghosts, but I might. Anyway … I’m going to sleep with you tonight. I’ll sleep with you even if I’m laying on the floor!”
“F*ck! You’re still going to listen to the bed …”
Chen Guangda rolled his eyes at her angrily and led her into the room. When he pushed open the door, he saw that there was a hanging corpse hanging on the beam. It was as shiny and black as sausage. Jiang Shilin immediately cried out in alarm, “You said that you’re not haunted. They don’t dare to come in to collect the corpse. Let’s go!”
“It’s a bit sinister …”
Chen Guangda let go of her brows and frowned. The room was already covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. However, apart from a chair that was knocked over by the hangman, everything was neatly arranged. Even the food on the Eight Immortals’ table had not been removed, which was enough to prove that the incident was not chaotic.
“How did these people die? They definitely won’t commit suicide for no reason …”
Yan Qing and the other girls also walked in from outside. They stared suspiciously at the dried corpse on the beam. Judging from her clothes, it could be seen that she was a young woman. Chen Guangda put her down and looked carefully. However, he shook his head and said, “It can cause people to commit suicide for no reason. Either they were drugged or they encountered a living corpse that can create illusions!”
“Impossible! If there were living corpses, they would have been eaten up long ago …”
Yan Qing shook her head without hesitation. Chen Guangda also nodded and said, “So, someone must have given them something to eat, or accidentally ate something. For example, the Corpse Flower Konjac has this ability. In any case, haunts don’t exist!”
“If someone drugged him, then there must be a reason. It can’t be for fun …”
Li Damei still looked at him puzzled, but Chen Guangda also shrugged his shoulders and said, “Who cares? We’re not here to investigate the case. However, don’t drink the water from that well. Just use it to take a bath. Everything you eat tonight will be bought on the street. If you can see a ghost like this, then I’ll admit it!”
“Let’s live somewhere else. Please …”
Jiang Shilin pleaded with a pale face, almost trembling all over her body. However, Yan Qing patted her shoulder and said, “You can go to the escort agency to sleep with us later. I should tell Liu Jia that there should be no problem. That girl is quite easy to talk to!”
“Liu Jia? Is that the female escort …”
Chen Guangda instinctively turned around, and Yan Qing nodded and said, “Right! I heard that the White Tiger Escort Agency was founded by Liu Jia’s uncle. Their family was originally a martial arts family. Before the end of the day, her uncle opened a martial arts club. The handsome guy you mentioned was his eldest apprentice Duan Ming Yang. The people from the Escort Agency call him Eldest Senior Brother!”
“Haha ~ My surname is Duan, and I’m still Big Senior Brother. Isn’t that Big Senior Brother Duanshui …”
Chen Guangda laughed mockingly. Yan Qing and the others rolled their eyes and ignored him. Anyway, this guy’s greatest hobby was to give people nicknames. However, Fifth Brother suddenly walked out of the backyard and said, “Someone came in from the backyard recently. He walked around the main bedroom and left without touching anything inside.”
“Oh? So strange …”
Chen Guangda directly followed Fifth Brother to the back hall. Although this place had been reconstructed, he could still see the traces of an office. However, Fifth Brother quickly stopped and pointed to the ground. Chen Guangda immediately saw a series of blurry footprints extending from the back into the middle room.
“Is this person looking for something …”
Chen Guangda walked into the room suspiciously. The door of the room was pinned with the sign “On Duty Room”. However, after he entered, there was a very large double bed. There were also several women’s underwear thrown on the bed. There were also a few pairs of shoes on the floor beside the bed. It seemed like he was sleeping in a polygamous room.
“Old Chen! Food stamps …”
Li Tingyu suddenly pointed at the bedside table. Tens of kilograms of food stamps were being dusted up. However, Chen Guangda was even more suspicious. After this person entered, he didn’t even need money. Thus, he slowly walked along the footprints on the ground and quickly stopped in front of a bare cement wall.
“What exactly is this person doing?”
Chen Guangda reached out and knocked on the cement wall. However, there was no echo from the solid cement wall. Only a nail was still nailed to it. It seemed like a painting had been hung before, but Jiang Shilin said in a trembling voice, “Do you feel that the mark on the wall is like a woman, staring straight at us?”
“So what? Can she still jump out and chat with me …”
Chen Guangda looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot. Jiang Shilin immediately pouted and stopped talking, but Fifth Brother said sullenly, “This person is wearing size 42 sneakers. He flipped over from the outside. The one who entered the wall should be an adult male!”
“Forget it! Clean out the room. I’ll stay here tonight and see who is playing tricks on me …”
Chen Guangda waved his hand and turned around. The girls had no choice but to bring tools to clean up. However, they didn’t know that there were a lot of daily necessities in the house. Just the food stamps alone amounted to several hundred kilograms, which solved their urgent need!
