Chapter 15: The Evil Spirit of Resentment

As soon as I landed, I saw Zhao Hong sitting on the ground, looking at me and Huigen with a face full of grievances. The little, sad eyes seemed to be accusing me and Huigen of coming in too late.

I looked at him with amusement, leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette.

As for Huigen, she was much more kind-hearted, and asked, “Uncle Zhao, what’s wrong with you?”

Uncle Zhao is the name that Huigen calls Zhao Hong without fail. No matter how Zhao Hong tries to trick him, Huigen refuses to call him by a younger name. The reason is that Zhao Hong’s appearance is full of muscle bumps and has nothing to do with youth.

In fact, I think Zhao Hong’s figure is still pretty good. He’s not skinny, not fat, but strong. When will I let Brother Chengxin introduce him to a rich woman? I’m thinking wickedly!

When Hui Gen asked, Zhao Hong was moved like a lost lamb who had found its way back to the fold, and he was about to cry. He pointed to the overgrown grass and said, “Over there… there’s a lot of activity over there!”

“Over there?” Hui Gen walked straight over, and Zhao Hong watched him with a stiff body. I didn’t worry at all and took a puff of smoke.

After less than half a minute, Hui Gen stood up from the weeds and asked, “Are you talking about this, Uncle Zhao?”

Zhao Hong’s face instantly fell, and even a fool could tell that this kid was embarrassed. The mighty Zhao Da agent was scared out of his wits by a grass snake. How many people would die of laughter if they told the story?

I stretched out absentmindedly and was just about to tell Huigen to let the snake go, but then the snake, which had been docile, suddenly bit Huigen without regard. At the same time, I saw a figure flash past the window on the first floor of the villa!

“This snake bites people!” Hui Gen naturally wasn’t afraid of a snake, and while exclaiming, she threw the snake far away.

I frowned slightly, and before I could say anything, I saw a vague figure standing behind Huigen. I suddenly remembered a saying, and I pulled Zhao Hong, who had been dumbfounded by the scene, behind me and said to Huigen, “Huigen, don’t move.”

Huigener raised his eyebrows, looked like he already knew what was going on, and suddenly turned around and shouted, “Get out!”

The lion’s roar of the Buddha’s supreme will was somewhat meaningful. After Hui Gen’er roared, the entire courtyard, which had been so muddy, suddenly became a little clearer. I no longer looked relaxed. Hui Gen’er glanced at the house, came over, and his face also became a little more serious!

Zhao Hong was still a little confused, and he grabbed his hair a few times and muttered, “Before entering the department, I took a psychological training course and also received secret talks. I really can’t accept it, I can’t accept it…”

“I can’t accept that I saw something incredible on my first mission, right?” I was too lazy to argue with Zhao Hong, so I took off the agarwood bracelet on my hand and put it on his hand without saying a word.

Zhao Hong didn’t ask me why I was wearing the agarwood bracelet on his hand. I guess it was because the scene just now was like a dream to him, making me and Huigen mysterious in his eyes. He asked unconsciously, “How do you know this is my first mission?”

“If you have ever been on a mission in the XX department, which one was easy? Would your psychological quality be so poor? Don’t dream of being 007, just follow me.” I whispered, then took out a flashlight from my pocket and walked towards the villa.

I asked Zhao Hong, “Has anyone come here to perform a ritual after something happened here?”

“I haven’t heard of this.” Zhao Hong said innocently behind me.

I frowned and swore in my heart! With such a tragic death, aren’t you afraid that the house will gather and become a murderous spirit? Even if it’s quiet, someone should come and deal with it!

But who can I blame? After all, at the beginning, this case was only handled as an ordinary criminal case, so how could it be handled here? This is how so-called haunted houses come about!

In fact, a haunted house does not necessarily have vengeful ghosts. Sometimes, when grievances accumulate, they can also cause various negative effects on people, and even attract some “good brothers.” This kind of grievance is particularly likely to occur at the scene of a brutal murder. After the incident, the scene is always promptly purified with clean water, and then the blood of the rooster’s comb is sprinkled throughout the house to purify it.

It is estimated that the place is so terrifying that even the old police officer has gone for psychological counseling, and no one is willing to come here anymore.

“I hope it’s not the evil spirit of resentment!” I whispered, and Hui Gen heard me and nodded.

What exactly is the spirit of vengeance? It’s actually difficult for me to describe it in detail, but a long time later, there was a very famous horror film called “Ju-On,” which to some extent restored the concept of the spirit of vengeance!

The original ghost is already terrifying enough, not to mention the ghost that is constantly surrounded by resentment and murderous energy? In the curse, the two ghosts, one big and one small, are everywhere, killing people day and night, and as long as they are contaminated by resentment, they cannot escape!

The reality is that if you are in a house and face such a ghost, there is an 80% chance that you will be scared to death or have a hallucination and commit suicide.

If you are infected with the negative energy in the house, you will be out of luck for a long time and suffer a serious illness.

It’s not as exaggerated as in the movies!

But this house must have affected the surrounding houses, so that no owners live in the surrounding houses. If I had the heart, I could take this opportunity to make a small fortune, but unfortunately, no matter when I was, I didn’t have the capital to buy a so-called villa. Even if I had one, I wouldn’t dare take the risk. Who would take it over from me? Even if I get this house ‘cleaned up’!

I would have to go home and burn a pot of fragrant soup to cleanse myself. I would also have to drag Hui Gen here to do some hard labor and recite a sutra to expel the negative energy from my body.

Because judging from the evil spirits, it means that we have already been contaminated since we entered here.

“What is the evil of resentment?” Zhao Hong’s ears are good. I can hear him even when I whisper. Unfortunately, I won’t explain it to him, lest he wet his pants! Or run away in the face of danger. Buddy, I’m giving him a lesson in mental toughness.

So I was silent, fiddling with the door. What a troublesome security door! I couldn’t open it. Should I smash the glass and break in? Wouldn’t that be too much of a commotion? I was thinking seriously.

But Zhao Hong came to the rescue at this time. He squeezed his way to the front, then took out a very special tool and started to work on the door. I couldn’t help but think of his unique experience, telling us not to hunch over, but to look calm. I couldn’t help but blurt out, “You’re not an agent, are you? Say, are you from a family of thieves?”

Zhao Hong looked at me again with a “melancholy” look. He didn’t dare to argue with me here, but kept working on the door. In less than half a minute, a “click” sound came, and the door opened!

As soon as he saw the door open, Zhao Hong quickly jumped behind me. Hui Gen’er laughed and scolded, “You’re hopeless.”

Zhao Hong didn’t mind. He stood behind me, looking very upright. I didn’t care either. I was amazed. An agent is an agent. In the future, he won’t go hungry just by being able to pick locks. Then he casually opened the door and walked in!

As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and then the cold wind blew in my face. An oppressive atmosphere that could not be explained in words suddenly enveloped me!

In just a split second, I knew it was over. This house is a typical place of resentment. If you don’t have luck, you’ll be raising two evil spirits of resentment!

Even coming to Tango’s house is not easy, really! I sighed again, thinking to myself that I was a real pain in the neck!

At this moment, Zhao Hong suddenly shouted again: “There’s a woman over there!”

A ghost in human form? As expected, I didn’t even turn my head and said to Zhao Hong, “Pretend you didn’t see anything and just follow me.”

In a house like this, it would be strange if the ghost didn’t take a shape!

In the meantime, I had already turned on the flashlight and started shining it around the room. Hmm, very ornate furniture, just covered in dust. I guess no one would have the guts to come here and clean it up. And on the walls, in some places, there were some yellowish brown marks, not too many, but if you looked closely, you could tell that they were bloodstains.

Zhao Hong deliberately walked between me and Huigen and said to us, “The scene of the murder was in the large bedroom on the second floor? Are you going up?”

I didn’t say anything. At that moment, I seemed to see the scene of the mad husband carrying a knife, looking at his wife all the way, and the wife screaming and running from the living room on the first floor to the second floor, and then the blood splattered on the wall…

I was silent. Over there, on the second floor… Suddenly, a man’s mad laughter came faintly, as if it were inside the house, or outside the house, but it wasn’t clear.

Zhao Hong wanted to stay calm, but his body was trembling slightly, betraying him!

Before I could say anything, there was a sudden gust of wind in the room, followed by a loud ‘bang’ from upstairs, the sound of a door slamming shut.

Zhao Hong finally couldn’t help but squat down and said, “I’m going crazy!”

My face also sank. What kind of tactics is this? This ghost is probably even more vicious than Li Fengxian or the infant spirit in that building.

“He’s quite capable!” I said softly.
