After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 45

An Jiuxi glanced at her but didn't take it to heart.

“Aunt, you don’t know,” Chi Beimu said gently, looking at An Jiuxi with a hint of admiration, “Auntie understands metaphysics and is quite capable. Tang Guo’s disappearance is very strange, and I think maybe Auntie has a way to solve it.”

The policeman standing nearby frowned. "Young man, I heard from the school leaders that you are your professor's star student. After learning so much, how can you still be so superstitious?"

“This isn’t superstition.” Chi Beimu adjusted his glasses, his tone still gentle. “There are indeed many things in the world that science cannot explain, aren’t there?”

The police officer smiled, thinking, "He's really a kid."

Even after reading so many books, she remains naive and easily fooled.

It's a pity about this young girl. She's young and beautiful, but instead of learning anything else, she's learning to swindle and cheat.

Just as he was about to reprimand her, An Jiuxi said calmly, "Do you know Tang Guo's birth date and time?"

Chi Beimu looked at the school leaders.

The school leaders hesitated, after all, metaphysics was something... How could they, as leaders of a higher education institution, take the lead in promoting feudal superstition?

Jin Yize glanced over indifferently.

The head of student affairs felt a chill run down his spine and coughed lightly, "Tang Guo's student record includes her date of birth..."

An Jiuxi nodded, "Okay."

The head of academic affairs quickly retrieved Tang Guo's information from the student records website and reported the date to An Jiuxi.

An Jiuxi concentrated and calculated for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly. "The person is still alive, but after midnight tonight, even a god couldn't save them."

The police officer in charge of the investigation looked at her with a complicated expression. "Young lady, do you cultivators all decide life and death so hastily?"

An Jiuxi said, "This involves human lives. Even if it's done hastily, shouldn't a police officer do their best to investigate?"

The police officer's face turned cold. "Young lady, it's best not to be so arrogant! Do you know that I can arrest you for defaming a police officer because of what you just said?"

An Jiuxi didn't care at all. "Whether it's arrogance or slander, once we can't find the person, I can do whatever I want with them!"

The two policemen exchanged a glance. "Alright, since you're so good at calculating, then you figure out where we should look for them?"

"Right inside the haunted house they were exploring!"

The ghost that Tang Guo and his friends went to explore was a villa located in the suburbs.

Legends about that villa are everywhere in the neighborhood.

It is said that the villa was bought by a wealthy man to keep his mistress and illegitimate children.

As a result, on one occasion, when the wealthy man came to visit his mistress and illegitimate child, he was caught in bed with his wife and her men.

The wife had her bodyguards beat the man up. That same night, thugs broke into the villa with knives and hacked the wealthy man, his mistress, and their illegitimate child to death inside.

Since then, screams have been heard from the villa from time to time.

Some people say that they occasionally hear voices and figures moving around inside, which seem to be the wealthy man who died a long time ago and his mistress.

The rumors spread like wildfire, becoming increasingly outlandish, attracting many daring individuals to venture to this place.

At first, nothing happened. Then one time, a group of people who were fearless came and said many insulting things to the former owner of the villa. They even urinated on the former owner's bedroom bed.

That very night, this group got into trouble.

The screams echoed throughout the night. People living nearby heard the noise and tried to rescue the person, but they couldn't open the door no matter what they tried.

The screams stopped the next day, and the door could then be opened.

It is said that everyone who was at the scene was so frightened that they fell seriously ill and were bedridden for nearly a month.

After that, many more adventurers went there.

They were all stubborn fools who didn't believe in superstitions, and each of them thought that those were just rumors.

As a result, things got worse and worse with each incident.

Tang Guo and his group were among them.

However, this batch fared much better than the previous ones!
