CHAPTER 50 - WHO IS IN THE ROOM

Li Jie thought for a while and said, "This place is too remote, actually this villa didn't cost much money, it was sold to us by a bankrupt merchant."

"Hmm?" I could hear that there was something more to this, and indicated for Li Jie to continue.

Li Jie smiled and said, "This house was originally built by a merchant. I heard that when this villa was built, some bones were dug out from the ground, so the merchant threw it away without thinking too much about it, but after the villa was built, their family started living in a bad way. First, their parents got sick, then they died very quickly, followed by their children.

Listening to Li Jie's words, I felt like I was looking back at the villa behind me. The house was built extremely meticulously, like a castle.

Later on, the merchant found a mage to deal with the matter. The mage said that the house that he had destroyed previously was not clean, and several people died in grievances, so the grievances here are too heavy to suppress. That person refused to believe what he had done, and sent his wife and children away to live here. After Li Jie finished speaking, she sighed.

"In that case, you're going to buy this house?" I asked her, even if she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods like that, but since there are already examples of this, why not avoid it?

"Zheng Xin doesn't believe that. He's used to it already, and this house is really cheap." Li Jie said, "Recently, we mentioned that we would be building a new area here, but many people have already moved here. As long as it's more lively in the future, it's fine."

I looked back at the house, and suddenly it was dark.

I took a deep breath and tried not to let it affect me.

"Li Jie, are you trying to scare me?" I asked, smiling.

Li Jie smiled at me, then gestured for me to come over. She said, "Previously, the person who sold us the house said that he had lived here for nearly a year, and it was very lively outside at night. He would always hear people walking around the house, and the sounds of chatting.

"Is that so?" I smiled and said, "Shall I lock the door tonight?"

"Lock it." Li Jie said, "Even though there are nannies and bodyguards here tonight, this house is too big."

"I know."

In the afternoon, Li Jie showed me around the villa. The villa was really big, and the interior decorations were also very beautiful, not only did it look like a foreign castle, it also looked like a foreign castle, with expensive embroidery curtains, exquisite paintings on the walls, and handmade carpets. However, I didn't know whether it was because of the story that Li Jie had told me, or because this house was like this in the first place, I kept feeling that it was very creepy.

"Is the air conditioner on here?" I asked Li Jie. I felt a chill inside.

Li Jie laughed and said, "No, probably because the ventilation was good, I got the nannies to open the windows."

I nodded and said nothing more.

Li Jie brought me to the top floor. There are two bedrooms, each of them very big with a separate bathroom, the bathtub is big enough to swim in, there is a mechanism on the ceiling, if you open the ceiling it would turn into glass, and you could probably see the stars at night.

I sat on the bed, which was soft.

"Sleep." Li Jie said, "I'm also a little tired, at night we will go to the Sky Platform to barbecue."

"Alright." I nodded and stood up to send Li Jie to the other bedroom.

The nanny was busy cleaning up the house. Although she did not need to tidy up everything, it would take a long time just to clean up the things in the house because it was too big.

Li Jie's bedroom is on the other side of the corridor. I helped her lie down and left the room.

I walked towards the bedroom. The air was still filled with dust, but the nanny who was walking around didn't look like the person that Li Jie talked about. She was probably just scaring me.

I went back to my room and lay down on my bed. The breeze felt cool on my face, or perhaps the bed was too soft.

I slept so well that I didn't even dream.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside. It was dusk, and it was very quiet outside. The babysitter's footsteps had already disappeared. Perhaps they had finished cleaning up.

I looked at the clock on the wall. It had stopped spinning.

I looked at my surroundings blankly for a while before deciding to look for Li Jie.

The whole villa suddenly became extremely quiet. There was no one outside, my heart tensed up, I did not know if it was because of the story Li Jie told me or because of the unfamiliar environment.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

"Li Jie..." I called her name, but no one answered except for the echo.

I went to Li Jie's bedroom to see if she was there, but her bed was empty and I didn't know where she had gone to.

I walked out of the room and stood at the foot of the stairs. I looked down, but I still couldn't see anyone.

But at that moment, I suddenly let out a soft cry. I couldn't tell if it was a cat or a human.

At this moment, the sky had completely darkened. I carefully walked down the stairs towards the location where the sound came from. The hand that was holding onto my phone was already sweating.

The sound came from a room on the first floor. It was not a cat, but a person moaning in pain.

Who is it? Was Li Jie injured? Or the nanny? Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Finally, with my hand on the doorknob, I slowly opened the door.

The scene inside the door surprised me. There was no light inside, and under the moonlight, I could only see a person rolling around on the bed, as if he was painfully enduring something.

I took my cell phone and used the light to identify the person. It was Zheng Xin.

"Zheng Xin?" I called out to him from afar, and I did not dare go forward, but the story that Li Jie told me suddenly flashed across my mind. Actually, even if she did not tell it, I would not dare go forward, as Zheng Xin is a man after all, he is stronger than me.

He didn't respond.

"Zheng Xin?" I called to him again.

This time he seemed to hear me. He paused, then turned to me, his face fierce and terrifying in the dark.

"What's the matter with you?" I asked him.

Zheng Xin smiled, his smile was very deep, he waved his hand at me and said, "It's you."

I looked at his smile and was shocked.
