You have the right not to speak.

According to him, when he was still a child, he once heard the elders in the village tell a legend about the Shi Family's ancient house. It is said that there are countless treasures hidden in this ancient house, but at the same time, some strange things also happen. This legend aroused great interest of Zhou Qinchao and Tu Bin, and they immediately decided to explore the Shi Family's ancient house in depth to see if it is true as the legend says.

Just as they were about to leave, Haihua suggested going back to the police station to find the magic cat Huihui to go with them. He thought there might be danger in the old house, and Huihui could help them explore the way and ensure safety. Zhou Qinchao and Tu Bin understood Haihua's concerns, so they agreed to his proposal and told him to go and come back quickly.

Therefore, Haihua hurried back to the police station on his motorcycle, hoping to find the magical cat Huihui as soon as possible and embark on this mysterious adventure with them...

The Shi Family Old House is located in Shijia Village, which has been abandoned by villagers. It is haunted and strange noises are heard from underground. It has been abandoned for 30 years. When they arrived at the door of the old house, a stale smell hit them.

A three-story courtyard, with broken walls showing its past glory, and five houses on the left with intact bricks and tiles, still standing tenaciously, with the doors closed, green plants climbing all over the broken walls, and a mysterious atmosphere all around. Tu Bin said, "Be careful of snakes."

The two of them carefully pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard of the old house. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time. They walked along the corridor into the house and found that it was full of dust and cobwebs.

In a dark and damp room, they searched for possible clues in the weak sunlight. Suddenly, they found a tattered diary covered with dust and cobwebs. Tu Bin carefully picked up the diary, blew away the dust on the surface, and opened the first page.

"Old Zhou, come and take a look! This seems to be a diary left by our historian's ancestors." Tu Bin said excitedly.

Zhou Qinchao took the diary and read it carefully. As he turned each page, a shocking story gradually unfolded before his eyes. Zhou Qinchao was more and more shocked as he read: "It turns out that the ancestor of this historian was a tomb robber."

He got a treasure during a tomb robbery, but was cursed because of it. It is said that anyone who gets this treasure will suffer misfortune or even lose his family.

In order to lift the curse, the historian's descendants have been looking for a way, but unfortunately they never found it until the last family died mysteriously.

"Isn't this too mysterious?" Tu Bin couldn't help but say, "But what exactly is this treasure? Isn't Mr. Shi alive and well? Could it be..." A strange thought swirled in his mind...

Zhou Qinchao shook his head and continued reading. The last page of the diary read: "The treasure is hidden in the basement of the ancient house, which is a forbidden place for historians..."

"So that's how it is. The owner of the diary is a man named Shi Laojiu, who used to be the owner of the Shi family's ancient house." Zhou Qinchao muttered to himself. "It could also be that he is the ninth child."

"Strange, why should such a private diary be left here at the Shi family?" Tu Bin scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and speculated: "Perhaps the owner hid the diary here to protect it from being discovered by the outside world. But he also wanted someone to break the curse, so he wrote it down in words. In any case, we need to continue to investigate in depth to solve this mystery."

The two decided to take the diary away and look for more clues about the historian. They realized that this diary might be the key to uncovering the truth of the whole incident. However, they also knew that there were many unknown dangers waiting for them ahead.

By reading the diary, we learn that the Shi family's old house contains a huge treasure.

Suddenly, a strange sound was heard, as if something was approaching.

Zhou Qinchao and Tu Bin looked back vigilantly, only to see a black shadow rushing out from the corner and rushing towards them... Zhou Qinchao and Tu Bin immediately dodged sideways and picked up nearby objects as weapons. Seeing this, the black shadow nimbly jumped to avoid their attack. Tu Bin took the opportunity to turn on the flashlight and illuminated the surroundings. They then saw clearly that the black shadow was actually a huge black cat.

The black cat's eyes flashed green, revealing a hint of weirdness. Its hair stood on end and it let out a low roar, as if warning them not to get close. Zhou Qinchao and Tu Bin exchanged glances and decided to slowly retreat and look for another exit.

Just as they turned to leave the room, the black cat suddenly jumped up and blocked their way. Tu Bin waved the stick in his hand, trying to drive the black cat away. However, the black cat nimbly dodged his attack and pounced on Zhou Qinchao at lightning speed.

Zhou Qinchao quickly picked up a bamboo basket on the ground and covered it with it, but it seemed to have no intention of fighting. It screamed and ran away: "This black cat with green eyes is really evil, it feels twice as big as Huihui's."

Tu Bin replied: "It looks like that, why hasn't Haihua come back yet?" "Let's go... turn on the flashlight, since we are here, let's go in and take a look."

The two looked at each other solemnly, knowing that this treasure hunt would be full of dangers. They held the diary tightly in their hands and walked towards the depths of the old house. After passing through a dark corridor, they finally came to the entrance of the basement. There was a chill at the door, as if warning them not to enter easily.

Zhou Qinchao took a deep breath and pushed open the shaky door. Behind the door was pitch black, with the sound of wind coming faintly. They stepped into the darkness carefully, and the flashlight in their hands illuminated the stone road under their feet. Suddenly, a strange sound came, echoing in the closed space, making people feel scared. Captain Qi and Tu Bin stopped and looked around vigilantly. At this time, they found that something seemed to be flashing on the wall...

Tu Bin was horrified: "Old Zhou, why don't we go back first, it's so spooky and scary here.

Zhou Qinchao took a deep breath, and his heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent air. He held the flashlight tightly in his hand, as if it was the only weapon that could bring him a sense of security. Finally, he mustered up the courage and gently pushed the door open. With a "creaking" sound, the shaky door slowly opened, and a smell of decay came to his face.

The world behind the door was swallowed by endless darkness, with only a faint light seeping in from the crack of the door. Zhou Qinchao swallowed nervously, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, but he still couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly. They stepped into the darkness carefully, with the flashlight in their hands as their only guide.

The stone road was filled with dust, and each step was accompanied by a slight sound of footsteps. Suddenly, a strange sound came from a distance, like the low hum of some creature or the whistling of wind through a narrow passage. The sound echoed in the enclosed space, making people feel terrified.
