Chapter 6: One strange thing after another

Under my loud shout, the baby lying on the window, which was like mist, was actually shattered by my shout. In my opinion, it was not actually me who shattered it, but the suppression of the aura by the aura.

An ordinary person in a state of anger, without fear, can also do the same thing. At least among a fearful person and a fearless person, it is obvious that the fearful person is more likely to be affected.

My shout even stopped the wind outside, and the leaves stopped rustling. The atmosphere in the small guard booth was a bit oppressive. It was a long time before Su Rou asked me, “Sanwa, what’s going on? Why are you yelling?”

I frowned and couldn’t answer Su Rou for a while. It didn’t feel right. At first I thought it was an infant spirit, but an infant spirit full of resentment usually stays with the ‘debtor’, that is, the mother. How could it appear alone in an office building with no one but the doorman?

And it is impossible for the spirit of an infant to be so easily shattered and leave, because its characteristic is to be entangled, and because it is an infant, it rarely produces feelings of fear, but instead is madly venting its grievances.

After I yelled, according to its characteristics, it should have gathered again. There was no reason for it to suddenly become calm. It seemed that everything had to be investigated before a judgment could be made.

When Su Rou saw that I was not answering, she became even more anxious, muttering, “Obviously, the combination of me and Sanwa is so invincible, but why do we have to encounter something so powerful when we are together? Could it be that the heavens can’t stand the fact that I’m cuter than Sanwa?”

I looked at Su Rou in silence, then pushed open the window, carefully investigated the situation, sat down again, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said calmly, “I just misjudged. It seems that a stray cat was passing by. You probably didn’t notice it.”

I can’t blame myself for lying. In fact, if people develop a sense of fear, they are definitely at a disadvantage. I can’t let Su Rou and Old Chang develop a sense of fear, so I simply glossed over it.

Old Chang let out a long sigh and said, “You can’t scare people here. It’s really scary.”

As for Su Rou, I didn’t suspect anything either. After all, I had never lied to him when we were venturing out before.

“Tell me what you saw in this building, or what you felt was wrong, Master Chang,” I said lightly, vaguely feeling that this place was probably not as simple as it seemed. I hoped that the night watch tonight would really find something, otherwise even I would be exhausted here, and my master would be the same.

Monks or Taoists may not be afraid of ghosts, but they certainly have various ways of dealing with them. The worst thing is not being able to find the source of the problem. If you can’t solve it from the source, you’ll be exhausted to death, and the situation may even get worse. The best outcome is that you can only protect yourself, and those who deserve to suffer will still suffer.

“Well, I’ll just say it.” Mr. Chang was very decisive this time.

To be honest, before the area was developed, it was just an ordinary urban-rural fringe area. The original location belonged to the “Pioneer Village,” and Mr. Chang was just an ordinary villager in Xingfu Village, living a normal and ordinary life.

The location of this office building was once a field, very ordinary, not at all what people say outside, a cemetery or a mountain temple or something, just a field.

Grandpa Chang said with certainty.

A few years ago, with the acceleration of the urbanization process, Pioneer Village was also developed. This office building was only started last year, and there were no casualties or anything strange during the construction.

Mr. Chang is a local resident and is very familiar with everything in nature. When he talked to me, his tone was also very certain.

His story coincided with An Yu’s. An Yu naturally didn’t buy the entire office building, but only the land on which it was built. He also told me that nothing unusual happened during the construction period.

After the office building was completed, it was put into use very quickly. The first company to move in was An Yu’s company, and then a number of other companies rented office space from An Yu. At first, the office building was still busy and lively, and people often worked overtime at night.

At that time, Mr. Chang was not yet the guard at the office building. This kind of work was considered a good job by the local villagers, and it didn’t require much work. He was paid a thousand yuan a month, so how could he be considered a senior citizen?

But after a month or so, the excitement suddenly stopped, and even the guards quit.

“I’m not sure about these things, but I’ve heard some stories, and I can tell you what they are. In this office building, first of all, a girl who worked the night shift had an accident. I don’t know what happened, but I heard that the next day, a cleaner found her huddled in a corner at the end of the corridor. She was not normal at all, and she didn’t respond when she was called or shouted at. Later, her family came, and her father slapped her hard before she cried out. She went home and had a serious illness… This was the first thing. “Grandpa Chang began to tell me in detail.

After this incident, strange things happened one after another in this building. Someone who was clearly fine when they were walking down the stairs suddenly fell down. When someone was going to the bathroom, they heard a baby crying next to them, so they bravely opened the door, but there was nothing there. Someone saw a woman walking around at noon, but when they looked closely, there were no feet. When they looked more carefully, there was no one there…

Listening to Mr. Chang’s story, I felt that this office building looked like a ghost nest. Of course, this kind of situation can happen, but it usually occurs in places like abandoned cemeteries or mass graves. These places are generally not developed for residential or commercial buildings. These places are usually populated or have a strong aura of evil to keep them under control.

For example, schools, judicial departments, or police stations.

So how could it be a ghost nest? I was puzzled.

At this point, Mr. Chang told me another story. He said that although these scattered incidents were scary, they were not enough to make the company owners move. After all, it involved a sum of money for breaking the contract. But then something happened that almost cost someone’s life, and that made the office building calm down. Only An Yu’s company was left here.

This incident also happened to a woman, who was different from the average person in that she was pregnant.

Due to the specific circumstances of the family, many women still go to work in the early stages of pregnancy. This woman was in this situation.

“How could someone die?” I asked seriously, as if I had caught something.

“Hey, ever since she got pregnant, something’s been wrong with that woman at the office. According to what I heard, she often sees things that aren’t clean. But it seems like things aren’t going well at home. She didn’t listen to everyone’s advice and still insisted on going to work. She said that everyone at the company had encountered strange things, and she wasn’t the only one. At most, she wouldn’t work overtime! After a dozen days or so, that woman was taking a lunch break in the office one day when she suddenly burst into tears…” Mr. Chang said slowly.

Su Rou asked nervously, “What was she crying about?”

“She cried and said that there was a baby covered in blood next to her, telling her that she wouldn’t have to give birth to the baby. She also said that after the baby finished talking, it tried to burrow into her stomach…” Mr. Chang said.

Su Rou suddenly shuddered and said, “Damn, just thinking about it is scary, and it hurts…”

“Why does it hurt?” I was a little puzzled.

“You don’t feel pain when something is drilling into your stomach? Gee… gee…” Su Rou said, while sucking in cold air, as if something was drilling into his stomach at that moment.

I said, “That wouldn’t hurt either, because the aura can’t possibly cause physical sensations. At most, it would be a feeling in the heart.”

Master Chang didn’t understand anything about physics, but he was so busy listening to me that he kept saying, “Yes, yes, yes, that’s the truth. That woman, when she woke up, cried, and then a kind female colleague asked her if her stomach hurt, and she said it didn’t hurt. In the afternoon, a colleague accompanied her to the hospital for a checkup, and there was no problem.”

“Did she continue to work?” I asked.

“Yes, she checked and was fine, and she continued to work. This girl really can’t understand it. Is there ever an end to making money?” Mr. Chang said with some emotion.

I slowly put down my cup and said, “So it almost caused a death. Did she suddenly have a miscarriage, and was it a heavy bleeding one?”

Mr. Chang was stunned, looking at me in disbelief and said, “How do you know?”
