The young man next to the girl awkwardly poked her with his finger and whispered in a voice that he thought only they could hear, “Don’t say random things, what if you guessed wrong and it becomes awkward?”
The girl secretly glanced at her boyfriend and replied in what she thought was a hushed voice, “Then let me ask again.”
The young man widened his eyes, “Are you really going to ask that?”
The girl responded, “But I’m curious. It’s the eighth floor, the legendary eighth floor.”
“…Fine,” the young man compromised, “go ahead and ask.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Do you think I’m deaf?
The girl once again placed her curious gaze on Bai Lixin and cleared her throat, “Uh, handsome, you…”
“It’s not what you’re thinking,” Bai Lixin interrupted her before she could say more, “I’m not what you imagine. I’m a sleep tester by profession.”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the girl and the young man became even more subtle.
The girl leaned next to the young man and whispered in his ear, “See, I was right. But with such a good-looking face, how did this young man become a vagrant? What a pity.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Damn it, vagrant?!
I’m not, I haven’t.!’
“Ahem,” Bai Lixin decided to salvage his reputation, “my profession is not what you’re thinking.”
The girl’s gaze softened with encouragement, “It’s alright. There are various professions, and some just have a different way of earning money. There is no distinction between nobility or inferiority.”
“…” Bai Lixin said through gritted teeth, “I’m a haunted house sleep tester.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl and the young man’s expressions froze.
The two looked at each other in horror, and when the girl turned her head again, her eyes were filled with excitement, “Haunted house sleep tester? And you were on the eighth floor? Did you really sleep alone in Room 802 last night?!”
Bai Lixin secretly sighed with relief and nodded with a calm expression.
‘Phew, I finally explained my profession. It was tough.’
The girl enthusiastically scrutinized Bai Lixin, then discreetly pointed at the black-clothed man, “Are you together?”
“Uh,” Bai Lixin glanced at the black-clothed man, “actually, I don’t know him. We just happened to wait for the same elevator.”
“So, you really slept alone in that haunted house last night?!” The elevator slowly stopped on the first floor. The door opened, and the girl quickly pulled the young man to follow Bai Lixin’s footsteps.
“You’re so brave. I never knew there’s actually a profession like a haunted house sleep tester in the world. Today I’ve gained some eye-opening experiences.”
Bai Lixin glanced at the girl: “…”
‘Are you related to someone named Hongyue?’
The young man probably felt embarrassed, as he forcefully tugged the girl’s sleeve and tried to lead her away.
The girl muttered while walking, “Wait a minute, I’ll ask again. You’ve been worried about how to sell that house, right? Why not give it a try? Maybe it will work. Look at this person, he spent the whole night in Room 802 so why not try? It’s better than nothing.”
This seemed to touch the young man, who stopped and looked back at Bai Lixin who was not far behind them.
But when he looked at Bai Lixin’s overly youthful face, he shook his head, “Too young, he might just be lying.”
As they were talking, someone suddenly rushed past them, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to fly up.
The figure appeared right in front of the young man, “Brother! How was your night yesterday?”
This person was none other than Xia Chi.
Xia Chi’s duty hours were from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. After resting for a few hours, he had been waiting outside this building. When he saw Bai Lixin, he ran over excitedly as if he had seen a beloved child.
Xia Chi: “Brother, while patrolling the neighborhood last night, I was terrified. After midnight, I vaguely saw a translucent and luminous white figure shoot out from the flower bushes.”
“You can say it was human, but it moved like a dog on all fours. If you say it was a dog, its features were human-like.”
“Its body was translucent,” Xia Chi shivered, “Did I encounter a ghost last night?”
Bai Lixin replied, “The one you encountered was probably the ghost of Chen Ping.”
Xia Chi asked, “Who is Chen Ping?”
Bai Lixin explained, “He was the one who committed suicide in the haunted house I stayed in last night, room 802. He was a college student at X University.”
Xia Chi shuddered, “Then…then why did he end up here in our neighborhood?”
“I helped him leave that haunted house. He wanted to leave, but was trapped inside,” Bai Lixin patted Xia Chi’s shoulder, “It’s a long story. Let’s talk while we walk.”
Xia Chi nodded seriously, “Alright, let’s go.”
“Wait!” After walking for a while, they were halted by a voice. The couple from the elevator caught up with them, and the girl hesitantly inquired, “Can you really see ghosts? Can you really exorcise them?”
Xia Chi looked at the two cautiously , “Who are you?”
The young man hesitated, while the girl introduced themselves, “We live in this building too, on the 16th floor. The Cheng Ping you are talking about was from our school.”
“This is my boyfriend,” the girl pointed to the shy young man beside her, “We overheard your conversation….did you really see Chen Ping’s ghost?”
Xia Chi confirmed, “Yes, what do you want from us?”
The girl turned her head to look at the young man, and after poking the young man’s waist, the young man hesitated to say, “It’s like this, our family has a house.”
“It used to belong to my grandparents, but it’s been vacant since they passed away. Six months ago, my parents decided to sell it, and strange things started happening.”
“We even hired a feng shui master, but it didn’t help. Can you do something about it?” the young man hesitantly asked, “How much would it cost?”
Bai Lixin inquired, “I’d like to know, if I go, what do you want me to do?”
The young man replied, “Well… we want that house to return to normal and stop those strange occurrences. Right now, it’s impossible to sell the house, and my parents are really worried.”
“I can go and check it out right now,” Bai Lixin hesitated to easily accept their request as he might not have time to visit the old house tonight if the system issues tasks in the evening. “Is that okay?”
The girl and the young man exchanged a glance. The girl asked cautiously, “Now? Um, how much would it cost? Is it expensive?”
Bai Lixin pondered for two seconds. If it’s free, they might be cautious and hesitant. But how much should he charge?
The escape system timely resolved Bai Lixin’s urgent dilemma: [Master Bai Lixin, the profession of a trial sleep tester is scarce and highly dangerous, so it charges on an hourly basis, and the hourly wage is 300 yuan per hour.]
Bai Lixin looked at the two of them. “My working hours are in the evening. During the day, I’ll just inspect the danger level of the haunted house to determine the evening’s fee. If I go now, I’ll only charge 100 yuan for the bus fare. If you need to hire me, my average hourly rate is 300 yuan.”
The young man and the girl looked at each other before the girl finally spoke, “Okay, let’s go and see first. 100 yuan, right? I’ll transfer it to your phone.”
Bai Lixin froze, “Uh, I don’t have a phone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a phone was promptly extended from the side, even with a payment QR code open, “Send it here.”
Bai Lixin glanced at Xia Chi with mixed feelings. ‘Why do you have a phone, and I don’t?’
The girl looked at Xia Chi and finally turned her inquiring gaze to Bai Lixin. So, should she give… or not give?
Bai Lixin said, “Uh, let’s go and see what you mentioned first, then you can pay later.”
The girl replied, “Okay.”
Xia Chi silently took back his phone, with a somewhat aggrieved expression. My little money.
The young man and the girl called a taxi and took the two of them to their destination.
As they had never been to such a copy before, Bai Lixin and Xia Chi looked out the window curiously. The buildings where they landed yesterday were all new, with convenient transportation and well-developed commercial areas, obviously in the city center.
To put it simply, they were wealthy areas.
As the taxi drove on, they gradually left the city center and passed through a complex overpass, where the surrounding buildings became noticeably older.
The young man was a bit shy and not very talkative, while the girl kept chatting in the car, “His grandfather has been living here for many years. Don’t look at the place being run-down now, it used to be a prime location.”
“His grandfather was a really good person. When I came to visit him before, he was very gentle. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.”
Bai Lixin asked in confusion, “Grandfather? What about the grandmother?”
The taxi was a five-seater, with the girl sitting in the front passenger seat, and the three young men in the back seat.
After hearing Bai Lixin’s question, the girl paused for a moment and turned her head to look at the young man by the car door, “I can’t say for sure. He has to say it himself.”
The young man hesitated and scratched the seat cushion with his fingers, then spoke cautiously, “Can we talk about it after we get off the car? Let me think about how to explain it first.”
Bai Lixin said, “Okay.”
After about 20 minutes of driving, the taxi finally stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated alley according to the navigation, “ I can only take you up to here. I can’t drive any further into the alley. You’ll have to walk from here.”
The young man and the girl were already used to it and paid the fare before getting out of the car.
The houses here have a long history. They are not the common tall buildings seen in cities, but rather the popular and ordinary five-story stair-step houses from the past.
The houses were built side by side, and most of their outer walls had peeled off, revealing the dark red bricks inside.
The alley was very narrow, and the taxi couldn’t enter.
The alley was also dark, and from here, it looked pitch-black, exuding a sense of decay and desolation washed by time.
Xia Chi tiptoed to take a glance into the dark alley, “This place should be considered a dangerous building, right? Who would buy houses here?”
“The houses here may be old, but they were built with good construction techniques. Look at these exposed bricks; they are all solid dark red bricks, very sturdy. Besides, in our city, having a place to live is good enough. The quality is good, and the price is cheap, so there are people who buy. Don’t be fooled by the emptiness during the day; that’s because most people have gone to work. It gets crowded at night.”
The girl looked at Bai Lixin and Xia Chi, “You two are not locals, right?”
Xia Chi replied, “Yeah, we’re not from here.”
The girl said, “No wonder.” She shook the young man’s arm, “Hey, this is your home. You should tell them what’s going on.”
“You were asking me about my grandmother in the car just now, right?” The young man nodded, organized his language, and then continued, “When my grandmother was married for the fifth year, she went to the countryside for teaching, and then there was no news of her. At that time, my mom was only three years old, and my grandfather worked and took care of my mom all by himself.”
“Everyone said my grandmother was dead. Even her files were canceled by the authorities. Some people saw my grandfather living a hard life and advised him to remarry. But my grandfather firmly believed that seeing is believing. As long as he didn’t see my grandmother’s body, she was still alive.”
“This house was built more than 50 years ago. Later, my mom got married to my dad and wanted my grandfather to move out. But he refused and insisted on staying here, waiting for my grandmother to come back. The old man was stubborn, and my mom had no choice but to come back often to take care of him.”
“My grandfather passed away more than two years ago, and nothing strange happened before. After all, this place held my mom’s childhood memories, and she came to take care of it regularly. But everything changed about half a year ago when my mom brought real estate agents and buyers to see the house. Weird things started happening in the rooms.”
The young man seemed to recall something terrifying and he shivered uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with fear, “Sometimes, blood seeped out of the walls; other times, the lights turned on and off for no reason, and sometimes there would be a shadow imprinted on the drawn curtains.”
“But there’s no one living inside, so how could the lights turn on and off in the middle of the night?!” the young man’s face turned pale, and he looked resistively toward the depths of the alley, “To be honest, I don’t really want to go to that house. It’s really creepy.”
The girl said, “What are you afraid of? It’s your own grandfather. How could he harm you?”
Bai Lixin asked, “So, do you suspect that your grandfather is behind these supernatural occurrences?”
The girl crossed her arms and looked at Bai Lixin with a gleam in her eyes, “Don’t think too much. It’s definitely him.”
“Do you know what my first impression was when I heard about this? Grandpa is simply too devoted and romantic.”
“While he was alive, he waited for his wife all his life, and even after death, he continued to wait for her. He worries that his wife might come back and find him gone, and that there are strangers living here. Because he doesn’t want the house sold, he is using these supernatural occurrences to scare everyone away and protect the house.”
“Although it looks a bit spooky, it’s very touching.”
After saying that, the girl looked at the young man, “You say, if you have half of your grandfather’s devotion, I’d be willing to burn incense for you.”
The young man felt somewhat dissatisfied, “In the future, I will be even more devoted than my grandfather. Why do you lack confidence in me?”
“Forget it,” the girl rolled her eyes, “You like watching videos of beautiful girls every day and still dare to mention ‘devotion.’ If it were the two of us, even if I disappeared for decades or just died a year ago, I bet you would already be thinking of getting remarried.”
“Tsk, by that time, I’d be holding your ashes every day, making sure you can’t rest in peace.”
“Sorry for interrupting your lovey-dovey moment,” Xia Chi couldn’t stand it anymore and even found it nauseating, “So, are we going in to take a look?”
The young man hesitated. He looked at the empty dark alley, and nodded after a few seconds, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
Bai Lixin asked, “If we’re going to take a look, what would you like me to do? For example, if your grandfather is really causing these supernatural events, what do you want me to do? Do you want him to drive him out like how I dealt with Chen Ping?”
The young man shook his head, “No, no, of course not. If you can communicate with my grandfather, can you help him find peace? I used to be skeptical about ghosts and gods, but now that I’ve seen it for myself, I have to believe it.”
The young man next to the girl awkwardly poked her with his finger and whispered in a voice that he thought only they could hear, “Don’t say random things, what if you guessed wrong and it becomes awkward?”
The girl secretly glanced at her boyfriend and replied in what she thought was a hushed voice, “Then let me ask again.”
The young man widened his eyes, “Are you really going to ask that?”
The girl responded, “But I’m curious. It’s the eighth floor, the legendary eighth floor.”
“…Fine,” the young man compromised, “go ahead and ask.”
