My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1800
Chapter 1800
The residential building was old-fashioned. Back then when the west side of the city was in the early days of development, these buildings were very popular. However, as the west side of the city grew increasingly remote, those who originally lived there moved out gradually.
While the housing price averaged at tens of thousands of yuan in Yinzhou City, the price in the west of the city was still averaging at about two thousand and five hundred yuan per square meter. It showed just how scarce the population was in there.
Sylvia and Henry stood at the corridor of the building. They needed to get to the fourth floor, but there was no elevator in the building. The lights in the corridor had been out of maintenance for a long time, which caused it to be very dark and gloomy. The ear-piercing screams of the girl rang constantly throughout the building. The loud complains of the neighbouring residents also sounded constantly, saying that the crazy girl should be sent to a psychiatric hospital instead of causing a disturbance there.
Two uniformed officers walked down the stairs and greeted Sylvia and Henry.
Henry saw that the two officer's faces were filled with helplessness. There were completely unable to deal with situations of this kind, all they could do at the moment was to control their emotions.
When Henry and Sylvia arrived at the fourth floor, the screams in the room became increasingly shrill.
Sylvia knocked on the door. After a long time, someone opened the door. It was a middle-aged man with a haggard face.
When the man opened the door and saw Sylvia, he was instantly stunned. "President... President Lin?"
"You know me?"
Sylvia was quite surprised.
"How would anyone in Yinzhou City not know you? Please, come in."
The middle-aged man invited Sylvia into the room.
It was a house about 90 square meters. The room was very neat, but the furniture was quite old fashioned, it had three bedrooms and one living room. One of the rooms had its door tightly shut, and the girl's screams and cries could be heard behind the door.
"Let me out! I don't want to stay in here!"
"He will keep coming for me!"
"You're my parents. Why are you trying to harm me?"
The young girl slammed the door with all of her strength, the sounds of banging sounded continuously.
Sylvia walked forward and opened the tightly shut door.
"President Lin, you..." Apparently, the middle-aged man was not expecting Sylvia to do such a thing.
"Your daughter is not mentally ill. She did happen to have seen something she shouldn't have."
Sylvia glanced at the middle-aged man. "Something like this has happened to an employee of my company. She has gone missing now. You don't want your daughter to end up in trouble, do you?"
The middle-aged man was frozen with shock.
The door of the room was opened, and the young lady could be seen with hair in a complete mess and her eyes were red and swollen. The young lady looked like she was about sixteen and had bruises all over her forehead. It was obvious that she had thoughts of hurting herself in the moment of despair while she had been locked inside the room.
Sylvia extended her hand and patted the young lady on the shoulder. Qi flowed into the young girl's body like a warm current, calming the young girl down quite a bit.
Henry walked around the room. He did not feel any fluctuation of Qi; it was very unusual. Even if it was an evil spirit, there should be traces of its Qi after it had left. However, he could not find anything at all.
The girl's name was Terrey. Sylvia asked Terrey about what she had seen. The situation of the story was exactly the same as that of the missing employee of the company, Stefenney. She saw that her home was empty and there was no one on the street. Everything was very quiet and neat. She also said that a gust of cold wind would blow at her from time to time, and always felt that someone was staring at her from behind. Terrey was very sure that it was not an illusion.
While Terrey talked, the door of the house opened again. Terrey's mother had returned with a man and a woman. The man was in his forties, and the woman was in her twenties. The man and the woman were both wearing Taoist robes and carried a wooden sword on their backs. Looking at how the pair were dressed, Sylvia instantly knew what they were there for.
The pair glanced at Henry and Sylvia after entering through the door, then said to Terrey's mother, "You people who aren't involved had better leave as soon as possible."
Terrey's mother immediately obeyed their words and looked at Henry and Sylvia.
Just as Sylvia was about to say something, Henry patted her on the shoulder, and they both walked out of the house without a word.
Sylvia followed Henry out of the door
and asked in puzzlement, "Senior,
you..." "This evil spirit is very powerful and its whereabouts are very well hidden. If we stay there, it will attract its attention. We'd better leave first. If everything goes accordingly, the evil spirit will attack us again. It's impossible for it to just create illusions and never appear again. Let's just wait for it."
Henry had once fallen into the illusion of the evil spirit, but he could not find any source of the illusions. Know that Henry was a being who had already integrated the 3,000 Paths into the divine bridge. No matter how complicated a formation was, they would be nothing more than lines in his eyes, yet he still could not see through the tricks of the evil spirit.
Henry had fallen into the illusion of the evil spirit earlier than Stefenney did, but Stefenney was attacked again by the evil spirits. Henry believed that the evil spirits attacked according to the strength of their prey. Thus, the evil spirits would not attack him. However, Terrey was an ordinary human and the evil spirits would definitely attack her again.
Sylvia requested to rent a house in that community. The whole process was complete in less than an hour, and she could clearly see Terrey's family through the window of the house she rented.
Henry stayed in front of the window, looking at the house opposite it.
The man and the woman in Terrey's house were ready to begin their ritual, and Terrey had been tied to a chair. The girl's eyes were filled with horror. She kept looking at her parents pleadingly, but no one paid any heed to her.
Henry kept his eyes on the front. Very suddenly, he felt a chill across his body, and he shivered unconsciously. Then, he quickly noticed that Terrey's family opposite him was empty.
Henry's expression hardened and he took a step back. He continued to look around the room, but Sylvia was no longer in it. Everything in the room was very neat and tidy.
"How dare you!"
Henry shouted in a low voice. He had thought that the evil spirit would attack Terrey, he did not expect the evil spirit to attack him so directly! his surroundings were dead silent. He stood still and observed the fluctuation of Qi around him carefully.
Sylvia, who was in the same room as Henry, suddenly realised that the Immortal King had disappeared. She glanced at the window and saw Terrey, who was still tied to the chair, suddenly acting ferociously, and the ropes that bound her were broken one after another.
Sylvia muttered worriedly under her breath and burst out of the door immediately and rushed to Terrey's house.
In the corridor of Terrey's residence, a low roar sounded, like a ghost of a beast.
Sylvia sped up her footsteps and rushed to the fourth floor. She opened the door to Terrey's house and saw Terrey's parents, as well as a man and a woman dressed in Taoist robes, all curled up in a corner and staring at Terrey with horror.
Terrey, who walked towards them on step after another, suddenly turned her head and stared at Sylvia. Her eyes were dark and extremely horrifying. Terrey's mouth suddenly widened into a grin and she smiled strangely at Sylvia.
