Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

Liang Zaibing closed her laptop and turned to ask Huang Fang, "Is our landlord's surname Hu?"

Huang Fang racked his brains for a while before finally digging out a name from some obscure corner, "It seems to be called, Hu Fanghai?"

"Yes, that's him. Drive to his house."

"Huh? You're going to cause trouble for him because he rented you the haunted house? You should wait until the female ghost is dealt with first before you start causing trouble, right?"

Liang Zaibing gave him a brief explanation: "Hu Fanghai kept Zeng Shiyao as a mistress, and killed her because Zeng Shiyao wanted to use the child to climb the social ladder."

"This apartment in Jingyun Huating was given to her by Hu Fanghai. After Zeng Shiyao died, he took it back and rented it out."

Because it was a house used to support his mistress, Hu Fanghai didn't hand it over to his subordinates but handled it himself. It's likely that his wife didn't even know this house existed.

"Oh, I see. But how do we know where he is?"

Liang Zaibing bought a location item from the store, but it turned out to be banned from use in this instance.

Well, this also shows how important Hu Fanghai is; his lifeline may very well lie with him.

"You have the landlord's contact information, right? Give it to me."

Huang Fang parked the car on the side of the road and sent his phone number to Liang Zaibing, but he was still a little doubtful. "If you ask him like that, will he tell you where he lives?"

“Who said we had to ask him?” Liang Zaibing handed the laptop to Chen An in the back seat. “Of course, we’ll rely on our computer genius, Brother An.”

-----

Liang Zaibing only learned about Chen An's skill a few days ago.

While downloading software, I accidentally clicked on something and downloaded a piece of malware that I can't uninstall.

He gets eighty pornographic and vulgar pop-up ads a day, and he keeps getting warnings about system vulnerabilities and too much junk, making his games incredibly laggy and causing his teammates to report him several times.

Liang Zaibing was furious. She was about to carry the phone case in her left hand and the monitor in her right hand downstairs to find a repair shop when Chen An stopped her at the door.

"I can fix it."

Before being taken away by the research institute, Chen An had studied programming for several years and was basically capable of working as a programmer, so dealing with rogue software was naturally a piece of cake for him.

After dealing with the junk software, Chen An also downloaded a new security software for him, making the page instantly cleaner and more refreshing.

He also knew a little about hacking techniques.

At this moment, Chen An still had a little strength left, enough for him to track down Hu Fanghai's location.

Chen An quickly downloaded the software. "We can begin."

Liang Zaibing dialed Hu Fanghai's number, and it was answered after ringing twice.

"What do you want from me?"

Liang Zaibing didn't say anything, but just looked at Chen An with her eyes. When she saw him nod, she immediately hung up the phone.

Just a second before he hung up the phone, a short, sharp scream came from the other end, "You—"

But when Liang Zaibing dialed back, no one answered.

Chen An turned the computer screen towards Liang Zaibing, and Hu Fanghai's current location was clearly displayed on the screen.

"Oops."

Liang Zaibing instantly realized something was wrong; could it be that the female ghost had been following them all along?

Zeng Shiyao's ghost is probably on its way to kill Hu Fanghai.

Liang Zaibing urged Huang Fang anxiously, "Jinghai Jiashu A1-03, drive faster."

Although he didn't quite understand, Huang Fang still followed suit and floored the accelerator, sending the car shooting off.

"Why should we save Hu Fanghai? If the female ghost kills him to avenge herself, she should let us go, right?"

With her hair a mess from the wind, Liang Zaibing rolled up the car window before she had a chance to reply to him, "If you were a tiger that hadn't eaten for two days, and you had just caught two rabbits, and then you saw a sheep running by in the distance, what would you do?"

After a moment of silence, Huang Fang gave a difficult answer: "After eating the sheep, we'll eat the rabbit too."

"Yes, it's just a convenient thing. Besides, the other person has a child with them. How can one child be enough? If you have this kind of plan, you will only leave in an uneasy state."

"If we want to survive, we can only save him before Zeng Shiyao kills him and find a way to break the curse from him."

"He's just an ordinary person, what can he do? Or does he know a very powerful ghost-catching master?"

"He can't do anything about it; the system and the rules are there."

"What system?" Huang Fang asked, but Liang Zaibing stopped answering.

Liang Zaibing stared at the rapidly receding glass shop window, lost in deep thought.

Layers of tulle skirts, sparkling with crystals and diamonds, created a magnificent wedding dress that resembled a cream cake, while the black suit beside it looked as plain as an accessory.

There are only three ways to end the curse.

Firstly, breaking the deadlock by force—Chen An has already tested this and it doesn't work. Dungeons naturally add restrictions on cursed items, preventing players from having an easy time. Most of the time, they only serve to temporarily repel the boss.

Secondly, they tried to make themselves no longer meet the hunting criteria of the ghosts, but they were already being targeted, so it was no use.

The last point is to make the vengeful ghost give up killing, which generally requires fulfilling the vengeful ghost's greatest wish and obsession in its lifetime.

What is Zeng Shiyao's obsession?

In less than 20 seconds, Liang Zaibing made a quick decision: "Go back and find that wedding dress shop!"

Huang Fang really couldn't understand how someone could have the mood to buy a wedding dress and suit in such an emergency.

Liang Zaibing acted like a robber, entering the bridal shop and immediately stripping the dress off the mannequin and holding it in her arms.

The shopkeeper thought he had encountered a mentally unstable person and was about to stop him when Huang Fang resigned himself to paying the bill, emptying his card balance.

"Are you buying this to hold a wedding for a ghost?"

Liang Zaibing clutched the fluffy wedding dress that almost covered his entire body, his voice coming through the layers of fabric, "Yes, it's a wedding for ghosts."

Hu Fanghai was reviewing the project proposal in his study when the phone rang, and he answered it instinctively.

"Hey, what's going on?"

There was no sound at all on the other end, only the hissing of electricity.

Did you make a mistake?

Hu Fanghai frowned, his brow furrowed, and was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly heard a woman calling his name.

“Hu...Fang...Hai…”

Each word is spaced far apart, as if it has traveled across oceans and overcomes numerous obstacles.

Then came an extremely sharp, maniacal laugh, which nearly caused Hu Fanghai's heart to stop.

A demonic sound, seemingly from hell, reverberated throughout the room—

"I found you!"

It was only then that Hu Fanghai recognized Zeng Shiyao's voice.

He cried out in terror, "You, you're not dead, are you?"

He went to see it later, and the woman's body was in that pit, half of it already rotted.

Why is she calling me again now?

The only response Hu Fanghai received was the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, which was tantamount to a death notice written in blood for him.

The woman he killed on a rainy night in the suburbs has returned.
