You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

The amulet no longer gets hot.

The originally hazy courtyard became clear again.

Lin Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see Su Chen holding a compass in his hand.

On a cloudy day, the compass emits a faint blue light.

"Dude, this evil ghost is the real murderer!"

Su Chen hummed: "Killing more than twenty people is natural, but..."

"But what?"

"Regarding the level of ferocity he displayed after killing so many people, he should have reached the level of a Ghost General. However, judging from his aura just now, he hasn't reached that level yet."

Lin Jingyu frowned: "Is the ghost general...very powerful?"

"Okay."

In the previous world, it could be solved with just a snap of the fingers.

With our current strength, it’s a bit difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, this evil ghost did not reach the level of a ghost general.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Brother Yu, let's go in and take a look."

"Hey, okay!"

Lin Jingyu took a step forward happily.

It has been abandoned for decades. The small yard is filled with small trees five or six meters high, and is covered with weeds taller than people.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, Lin Jingyu felt a chill, but now he felt warm all over.

He looked carefully at the compass in Su Chen's hand.

The pale blue light gives people a sense of security.

Su Chen pushed aside the weeds and gently stepped on the roots. Lin Jingyu followed suit and soon became annoyed.

"Hey, if I had called Brother Biao earlier, I would have dug up the grass and trees in the yard."

"It's okay, let's take a look first."

Su Chen led Lin Jingyu for a walk in the yard and found a collapsed stone table and chairs, a dried-up grape tree, lush orchids in the corner of the wall, and a well covered by granite.

He stared at the well for a long time before leading Lin Jingyu into the house.

The haunted house is two stories high and is a very traditional Cuicheng ancient house with a civil structure. The bottom floor is paved with bluestone, the outer walls are made of blue bricks, the doors, windows and walls inside are all made of wood, and the roof is covered with gray tiles.

Unfortunately, it had been uninhabited for so long that one side of the roof had collapsed. Cuicheng had a lot of rain in spring and summer, so as soon as he entered the house, he could smell a strong musty odor. Looking at the collapsed second floor, Su Chen sighed, "Brother Yu, I'm afraid this house needs to be rebuilt."

Lin Jingyu nodded. "When I saw the roof collapse, I knew it was bad. So the price of this house was mainly the price of the land. It was much cheaper than the other one."

"Well, but the house is very clean."

Lin Jingyu: “…Ah?”

you sure?

The ground is covered with broken tiles, fallen leaves and dust. Wherever you step, there's a mud puddle. How can it be clean?

"Come on, let's go out first."

Zhang Mingrui led A Ming to the front of the yard, panting, and saw Su Chen and Lin Jingyu walking out of the yard, brushing off the cobwebs and dust on their bodies.

He was stunned.

"You, you guys... can still come out?"

"Not dead?"

Lin Jingyu laughed: "Uncle, are you really hoping that something bad will happen to us?"

He waved and said hello to A Ming: "Brother Ming, don't you have any missions today?"

Ah Ming said cheerfully, "We just busted a big den. The station is busy right now."

"You, do you know each other?" Zhang Mingrui asked curiously.

"Oh, Lao Zhang, this is Captain Lin's younger brother Ayu, and this is the powerful Master Su."

Zhang Mingrui couldn't believe it: "No, it's just this young man? Master?"

"Old Zhang, don't judge a person by his appearance. Let me tell you, Master Su is very capable. He saved my life and Captain Lin's life."

Ah Ming looked at the two of them curiously, then looked at the haunted house: "Ayu, Master Su, what are you doing..."

"Brother Ming, my buddy bought this house and plans to go in and clean it up."

"What? You bought a house? You, you really want to die?" Zhang Mingrui screamed.

Lin Jingyu held his forehead with his hand.

Why does it feel like this old man is selectively deaf?

Didn’t you hear Brother Ming say that Su Chen is a master?

Really.

How can a master who buys a haunted house be willing to risk his life?

After a brief moment of surprise, Ah Ming quickly smiled and said, "That's great! If Master Su cleans up the house, we won't have to worry about having ten or so people go in to check it all day long."

"Master Su, you don't know. A thief once climbed over the wall and died inside. We discovered the body when a drunk man vomited against the wall and smelled the stench. The body was already rotten when we went in. To prevent this from happening again, we have to choose an auspicious day every three months to go in and take a look. We are terrified every time."

"By the way, Master Su, is there really...?"

As Amin spoke, he subconsciously took two steps forward and looked into the yard vigilantly.

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, and they were very fierce. They started making trouble as soon as we entered."

As he spoke, he looked around.

In a short while, more than a dozen people appeared around, but no one dared to get close and just watched from afar.

Su Chen asked Lin Jingyu to pull up the broken door and slightly block the entrance. Then he looked at Zhang Mingrui and said, "Uncle, can I borrow your table?"

Zhang Mingrui immediately waved his hands: "No, no, you two are definitely being targeted, no way."

He hurried home, saying to A-Ming as he ran, "Officer, please stay away from my house. My grandson is not in good health. Don't bring that thing to my house."

As soon as he entered the house, he slammed the door shut in a hurry.

Lin Jingyu was helpless: "You're not that scared, are you?"

A Ming shrugged. "Almost all the elderly people in the neighborhood know how many people have died in this house. How could they not be afraid? Those with money and connections have almost all moved out. People like Lao Zhang who don't have any money can only stay here. But at night, they close the shop at 5 or 6 and go to bed early, for fear of being targeted."

"Besides, we've been very careful and cautious when we've gone in to check so many times before, and we've always brought more than ten people with us. They've seen it all..."

Lin Jingyu gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Okay, Master Su, you want a table, right? There's a unit right here, I know someone there, I'll go borrow it."

"Wait a moment."

Lin Jingyu chuckled, "Brother Ming, why are you trying to steal my job?"

Su Chen smiled and walked around the yard again.

Seeing Su Chen staring at the messy courtyard wall, Lin Jingyu explained, "Over the past few decades, the wall here has become dilapidated. The wooden boards and other things that were erected were all put up by the neighbors to hide the yard from view."

Su Chen hummed and sighed: "It seems that the wall will need a major overhaul later."

Amin called for help, and the two of them hurried to the main entrance, where the tables and chairs had already been set up.

"Master Su, do you think this will work?"

"Thank you, officer. Sure."

Su Chen took out yellow paper and cinnabar and began to draw talismans.

While wiping his face and hands with pomelo leaves, Zhang Mingrui looked across through the crack in the door. Seeing Su Chenzhen start to draw talismans, he couldn't help but mutter.

"Is this young man really a master?"

"Don't let it be half-empty, right? That's just asking for death."

Before he could finish his muttering, his ears were pulled up.

"Hey, hey, hey, old woman, let go, let go!"

"You still feel the pain? Don't you know what's on the other side? And you're still rushing over there. If you want to die, don't drag my grandson down with you!"

"Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, old woman, please let go!"
