Chapter 187 Surprise
Chapter 187 Surprise
"The house had just been renovated and everything seemed normal on the surface."
"But after moving in, I could always hear strange noises, like footsteps, and sometimes things would move on their own."
Xiao Tao's voice trembled slightly: "The manager also said that when he went to sleep at night, he always felt like someone was staring at him. It was really creepy..."
Chen Yile frowned and listened without interrupting.
"He's experienced a lot of supernatural events. Some are just illusions, but some are indeed strange."
The car drove into a quiet residential area and stopped in front of a detached villa.
The villa looked very modern, but now under the cover of night, it seemed a little eerie.
Xiaotao parked the car and led Chen Yile into the villa.
The lights in the villa were dim, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which seemed to be the lingering smell after the new renovation.
Xiao Tao pointed to the living room and said, "This is it. The manager doesn't dare live here anymore. He asked me to give you the key. You can take a look around."
Chen Yile took the key and looked around.
Although everything seemed normal, his intuition told him that something was wrong.
He walked to the center of the living room, closed his eyes, and began to feel the aura around him.
A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "There is indeed a problem here."
Before he finished speaking, the lights in the villa suddenly flickered.
Then, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, as if something was lurking in the dark, watching them.
Chen Yile hadn't finished speaking yet: "Xiao Tao, have you noticed..."
There was a slight sound of footsteps coming from upstairs, as if someone was walking slowly.
He raised his head and stared towards the second floor, his expression becoming unusually serious: "It seems that we are not alone here."
Chen Yile stood in the middle of the living room, looked around, and frowned slightly.
He sensed something strange in the air.
That strange aura could not be explained by an ordinary illusion.
He asked, "Have you changed anything recently? Like the placement of furniture?"
Xiao Tao shook her head: "No, I haven't moved since I moved in."
Chen Yile didn't say anything else, but closed his eyes and quietly felt the changes in the surrounding aura.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Something is really wrong here."
He finished speaking and walked towards the other side of the villa, which led to a dim stairwell.
Just as he was about to step onto the stairs, suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the stairwell, accompanied by a low sigh...
Chen Yile stopped and frowned: "It seems that the problem is not just in the living room..."
Chen Yile stood at the stairs, his eyes slightly narrowed, quietly feeling the surrounding atmosphere.
The cold wind in the stairwell was mixed with a smell of corruption, which seemed to come from deep inside.
This aura was not like ordinary coldness, but a strong evil aura, which was obviously not something that an ordinary spirit could produce.
He was silent for a moment, then looked back at Xiao Tao and whispered, "Go back to the door first, don't get too close."
Although Xiaotao was a little nervous, she still obediently retreated to the entrance and stared at Chen Yile's every move nervously.
Chen Yile walked up the stairs, taking each step very steadily, as if he was exploring something at every step.
His footsteps were particularly clear in the silent room as he walked up step by step.
The light in the stairwell became dimmer and dimmer, as if something was absorbing the surrounding light.
When he reached the middle of the stairs, he suddenly stopped, stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and silently recited a spell.
A moment later, a wisp of light green smoke rose from his palm. The smoke swirled in the air for a moment, then quickly condensed into a light blue talisman.
"Open your psychic eyes!" Chen Yile shouted in a low voice.
He tapped his forehead lightly, and the talisman instantly sank into his brow.
Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared in his eyes, and the surrounding scene changed accordingly.
In the vision of the psychic eye, the originally dim stairwell was now filled with a layer of light black mist.
And in the depths of the fog, there seemed to be a darker shadow ready to move.
Chen Yile snorted coldly and continued walking upwards.
At this moment, he vaguely heard a low sigh coming from above the stairs.
The voice seemed to carry endless sorrow and pain, echoing in the narrow stairwell, making people shudder.
When he reached the end of the second floor, the dark shadow had clearly appeared in his sight.
It was a blurry figure, staring at Chen Yile with lifeless eyes, as if crying silently.
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble here?" Chen Yile asked in a deep voice, while secretly gathering his energy and concentrating his spiritual power in his body to prevent any unexpected situations.
The figure did not answer, but continued to sigh softly, and the temperature of the entire second floor dropped sharply again.
At this moment, Chen Yile suddenly felt the floor beneath his feet vibrate slightly, as if something was wriggling underground.
He immediately became alert, quickly walked around the figure and headed towards a room at the end of the second floor.
The door of the room was slightly ajar, and a faint light could be seen from inside.
Chen Yile gently pushed open the door, and everything in the room came into view.
This is a small bedroom, decorated very simply, but Chen Yile's eyes were quickly drawn to a wall in the corner of the room.
The wall looked ordinary, but in the vision of the psychic eye, it was shrouded in an extremely strong and evil aura, as if something was stirring behind the wall.
He walked to the wall, reached out and gently touched the wall, then frowned.
The aura of this wall is extremely abnormal. It is obvious that someone has deliberately sealed something here.
Moreover, the smell of corruption was faintly seeping out from the cracks in the wall.
"What's in here..." Chen Yile muttered to himself, then turned and shouted towards the door: "Xiao Tao, come here!"
Xiaotao heard his call and hurried upstairs.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Chen Yile standing in front of the wall with an extremely solemn expression.
"There is something behind this wall, I need your help." Chen Yile said briefly.
Although Xiaotao was a little scared, she nodded and walked to his side.
"Go find some tools, a hammer or something else that can break down the wall." Chen Yile ordered.
Xiaotao took action immediately. Before long, she found some simple tools from the tool room downstairs, including a hammer and several crowbars.
Chen Yile took the hammer and started smashing the wall without hesitation.
The wall was not very thick, and under his strength, a small hole appeared in a short time.
