The more Huo Tianer looked at him like this, the more frightened she felt.

He covered his face and trembled all over, hiding behind the police.

Both of them were taken to the police station. After Huo Tian'er could no longer see the man, she felt more secure. Her eyelashes trembled as she slowly recounted what had happened.

The police didn't take it seriously at first, but when they heard the place she reported, one of them jumped up and became very emotional.

"It's true. My sister also met a man three years ago. Our family has seen that man. He is indeed very good in all aspects, but his family lives in the mountains."

"My parents disagreed and forced them to break up. Later, my sister didn't listen and eloped with that man. In order to find her, I sneaked into that place..."

Huo Tianer widened her eyes after hearing what he said.

"You, your sister died?"

The police officer's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "Yes, she died a very tragic death. Her skin was peeled off and put on a wooden man. I don't know what method was used to ensure that the skin would not rot."

When he mentioned this matter, he felt that breathing hurt.

"Girl, your boyfriend is definitely not a normal person. I've been to that place before, and they're crazy. You absolutely can't go there. If you go, you'll definitely die."

"For a while, the country cracked down on this kind of feudal superstition. I didn't expect it to still exist. It's really terrible. Where are your family members? It's best to follow them and leave as soon as possible."

Huo Tianer nodded repeatedly, her face tense.

"Okay, I know. I've already told my family. My brother will come to pick me up tomorrow, but I'm so scared. I wonder if he'll be released and take me over there."

The policeman thought for a moment and said seriously, "You can use the method of that Taoist priest you mentioned. You can pretend that you already have a boyfriend and have lost your virginity."

"The people in that village are all pervertedly paranoid. If there's even the slightest suspicion, they'll give up and switch to the next sacrifice. You're safer this way."

Huo Tianer nodded obediently, already having an idea in mind.

Pick up the phone and call.

[Brother Mu Li, can you be my boyfriend? I mean, just pretend boyfriend or girlfriend. I have some problems here and need...]

Before he could finish his words, a reassurance came from the other side.

[Okay, I agree.]

After Huo Tianer hung up the phone, she still felt a little embarrassed. Seeing the police looking at her, she explained in a low voice: "Well, don't get me wrong. Brother Mu Li and I grew up together. We are brothers."

"He's a soldier. I think he's quite strong and looks a bit safe. Hmm, if he pretends to be my boyfriend, would that be a better idea?"

"Of course, childhood sweethearts are definitely better and more trustworthy."

"...either a childhood sweetheart or a brother."

"Oh, it's okay. It's common for brothers to become boyfriends."

When Huo Tianer heard this, she shut up and stopped talking. Well, let it be a misunderstanding. No one would believe her even if she said it.

West City Haunted House

A car stopped and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe got out, along with a special assistant. He looked very impressive.

"Master, when will our live broadcast start? Our fans are urging us to come back, saying they want to see the haunted building..."

A gust of wind blew over, bringing with it a chilling chill. The surroundings were pitch black and eerily quiet, as if there was no living thing.

Xuanqing felt a chill on his back and felt a little scared.

He was originally a servant in the sect, with no sense of existence and no one took him seriously. He learned all his skills secretly and only learned the basics. He had no problem dealing with ordinary ghosts, but he had no way to deal with powerful ghosts.

This was his first time in this spooky place, and it was impossible for him to say that he was not afraid at all, but he certainly could not show it in front of his assistant.

He scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about? That person hasn't arrived yet. Why are you doing a live broadcast now? Wait a little longer, don't accuse me of cheating later."

The assistant nodded and said respectfully, "Master, you're right. It's getting colder and colder here. If I had known, I would have brought an extra layer of clothing."

Xuanqing rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say more to this idiot. It would be strange if a place with ghosts was not cold. As long as there were no evil spirits, it would be fine. He had asked around and knew that people had been here before and had all gotten out alive.
