"After hearing the news, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave. I felt panic like a tide drowning my breathing. I felt suffocation in my throat, and I couldn't breathe for a long time."

When the weirdo said this, he felt like shaking like chaff and found it difficult to speak. It took a while before he regained his composure.

"Let... I'll make you laugh, Mr. Detective."

Linnard said he didn't care and let the other person continue talking.

"You also know the reason why I'm so scared. Ever since the news of the real existence of ghosts was confirmed, everyone has been panicking. Although no bad incidents have occurred, there are still missing cases. Where do they come from?

Missing, everyone understands that they are all dead."

I was no exception. I was deeply afraid of the unknown, and even considered returning the package to Old York and not doing this business.

But how much choice do I have when I come to live with my relatives from my hometown? If I offend Old York, not only will I not be able to make extra money, but I may even lose my current job and go back to work in despair.

Go to the countryside where you feel safe.

I was facing death on both sides, so I made up my mind to fight!

After all, after this experience, it would be inconvenient for Old York to do the same weird things to me again.

I went to the wizard in the city, and under his instructions, I went to the market and bought a big rooster to take with me. At about ten o'clock in the night, I arrived at Villa No. 158.

The villa gives people a particularly evil feeling when viewed from the outside. The design is extremely old and does not look like a building of this century at all.

It's a bit like what they call a retro feeling... No, it's much more serious than that. Just standing next to it, I felt like I was standing in a tomb, eerie and cold.

Even the buildings next to it looked like they couldn't stay out of the way. They were all unoccupied and without any candlelight.

Since what I was doing could not be called aboveboard, I naturally did not dare to carry a kerosene lamp, so I fell into the dilemma of not being able to see clearly.

And the roosters I bought at the market, the one I specially picked to be the most energetic, also looked sick and dying.

There is no way, since I'm already here, I have to bite the bullet and go.

Following Old York's method, I knocked on the door three times and two short times, but heard no response, no footsteps, no breathing.

You know, you know that there is no one in the house, but you still have to knock on the door, God knows what opens the door for you?!

Just like that, I typed the code tremblingly, and suddenly I felt someone's eyes looking at me.

So I followed my feeling and looked up and to the left.

In the darkness, a woman with disheveled hair stood on the second floor of the villa, staring motionlessly at me through the glass window!!!

I was scared out of my mind at that time, and I was pinching the cock in my hand. This damn beast was as stiff as dead, and it didn't say a word!

With a creak, the door in front of me slowly opened.

There is a bloodshot eye embedded in the messy long black hair. Is it... the woman who was on the second floor just now?!!

When did she come down?!!

The woman stood behind the door, looking at me blankly, like an evil spirit seeking life!

I suddenly looked up at the second floor. There was nothing behind the glass window!

‘Where are the things?’ the woman asked me coldly.

I hurriedly searched for the package, but found that it was missing!

When and where was the package dropped?!

I can’t remember clearly!!

In such a weird and frightened state, I couldn't remember where I put the package.

Even though I searched all over my body, I couldn't find it. Just when I was about to tremble and explain to the woman.

When she raised her head, black hair was flying all over the sky. The long hair that originally covered her body spread out in a circle, making her look like two bloody eyes growing out of a pile of hair!

‘She is not human!’ This thought occupied all my thoughts.

The panic and fear reached its peak, and I ran away regardless, running away from the villa like the god of plague. I ran for an unknown amount of time until I saw a shadowy figure before I stopped to take a breath.

The surroundings were bustling and I didn't know where I was.

The people who came in had smiles on their faces and were dressed in gorgeous and luxurious clothes.

The buildings have also changed. Compared with the gray tones in the civilian areas, the buildings here all reveal a grand and luxurious tone, but they also give people a different kind of weird feeling.

Is this...there?

Behind me was a thick fog, drowning everything. The cold air rose up my back and went straight to my forehead, taking away the warmth from my whole body.

The strong cold gave me goosebumps all over my body and made me shiver.

Turning my head, I could still see the woman's vicious pupils in the darkness, and the sinister strands were like her long hair, squirming tentatively, trying to entangle me and drag me back into the darkness!

I quickly moved closer to the crowd, even if I offended the nobles, I was more willing to face the judge of the court than the weird and terrifying woman behind me.

‘Ouch——’ I stumbled and accidentally bumped into an aristocratic girl. Her white headscarf fell to the ground, and she clutched her skull in pain.

I quickly apologized and couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl in front of me who was wearing a noble costume.

She is so beautiful, with a pretty fair face, a small and slightly raised nose, and the pink glow on her cheeks is as delicate as if it were painted on.

‘You are so rude!’ the aristocratic girl scolded me, her voice was noble and elegant, soothing to the heart.

I blushed with embarrassment and kept saying the wrong things before asking her nervously, 'Which part of Lanzas does this belong to and which road should I take back to the civilian area?'

‘Lanzas? Never heard of it. You said you came from a civilian area? That’s interesting. How about I take you home to meet my father. He might know how to get there.’

The girl's beautiful eyes looked at me slyly, smiled kindly at me, and observed me carefully.

I could tell that she was different from the usually aloof nobles. There was no trace of dislike or estrangement in her eyes, and she was actually extremely polite and invited me to her home.

As she spoke, she stretched out her delicate white palms to grab me. Her petite body seemed to contain infinite power, which made me unable to struggle away. I followed her back to a villa involuntarily.

People on the road laughed at this strange scene. They may also wonder, how could the daughter of a nobleman be related to the coolies in the civilian area?

Looking at the villa from a distance, I felt uneasiness and panic returning to my body again.

Because its appearance is exactly the same as the villa at No. 158 Belland Street!

If it weren't for the constant stream of pedestrians in twos and threes on the road, I couldn't help but wonder if I was back in that weird villa again.

Maybe rich people have similar aesthetics, I can only think so.

'It's too late today, why don't you stay one night and ask my father for advice tomorrow?'

The girl's faint voice rang in my ears, and I turned my head around in a cold sweat. I didn't know when she was pressing against my back, staring at me strangely.

I was a little embarrassed and felt creepy, but the pedestrians on the road, the villa, and the normal lights in the nearby buildings made me feel that I was far away from the terrifying unknown weirdness, so I decided to stay one night and interact with the nobles.
