Chapter 002: Haunted
"Can you help?" "What kind of help?" I asked curiously
"Help me take revenge." The young girl looked at me, and when I heard her words, I was almost scared to faint. Didn't her words imply that she was admitting to being a ghost? I quickly replied, "Miss, I am neither strong nor handsome, and I am certainly not a rich second-generation or a powerful second-generation. I am just a nobody; seeking me out is of no use to you."
"Um, alright, please follow me." Although Miss Li appeared very enthusiastic on the surface, she also seemed not to want to pay me too much attention as she led me inside. The Beihan community is quite large and relatively new; despite being on the outskirts of Jiangbei, the housing prices remain high.
Haunted? I felt a surge of joy in my heart. Ahem, of course, I am not a psychological deviant. After all, could it be that ghosts actually exist? At that moment, I thought to myself that it was probably the residents who scared themselves, believing there were ghosts inside, which is why they chose not to live there. Many people are superstitious in this way, thinking there are ghosts, so it is only natural that the property prices are low.
However, Miss Li's subsequent words alleviated my concerns
Mr. Chen, shall we discuss the price again? Miss Li seemed to be worried that I might not rent after seeing my expression. I smiled and said, "It's nothing, money is a trivial matter. Lead the way, I will go to see the house, and if I am satisfied, I will sign the contract"
Hello, Ah Hui, hurry over to Jiangbei. I heard there is a room available for an incredibly low price, only 300 yuan a month
"Illusion, this is an illusion, this must be an illusion!" I kept repeating to myself, watching this little girl as she approached, curiously looking at me and asking, "Can you see me? Indeed, you can see me, uncle, can you help me with a favor?"
I still need to tell you the reason behind the haunting first. Miss Li looked at me, and after some thought, I felt it was just superstition, so I decided to treat it like a story and said, "Go ahead, it's nothing."
Uncle, what are you doing with my doll
However, it is still necessary to tidy up a bit. I organized some of the scattered items neatly, then turned on the television, activated the air conditioning, and lay on the sofa to watch TV
Time passes quickly; before I knew it, night had fallen. A glance at the clock revealed it was already 5 o'clock, and I needed to prepare something to eat. Fortunately, it seemed there were still quite a few vegetables in the refrigerator. I walked over, opened the fridge, and to my surprise, I shuddered at the sight of a tattered doll inside, dressed in a complete outfit of red.
Rest assured, Mr. Chen, the house is 106 square meters, a three-bedroom unit, finely decorated, with good ventilation from south to north, warm in winter and cool in summer. Utilities and internet fees are to be paid by the tenant, all at market rates. The rent is 300 per month, with three months' rent paid in advance and one month as a security deposit. Ms. Li replied with a professional smile.
Miss Li did not mention anything else; in fact, I already feel that she is a good person for being able to tell me the truth. If it were an ordinary person wanting to rent it out, who would actually say that
Is the scenery good
The house is located in the central building of the community. Strangely, the house consists of four units, on the fourth floor, unit number four. It is truly inauspicious. Miss Li opened the door, and I followed her inside. It was worth it; even if it were haunted, it would still be worth it. There is an LCD television, a large dining table, and two bedrooms, all equipped with electricity. The kitchen is stocked with cooking oil and other essentials, making it quite comprehensive. The decoration is also of high quality. All these amenities are functional, and the rent is only 300 per month. Even if it were haunted, it would still be worth it.

I rubbed my temples; after drinking farewell wine with a few high school buddies yesterday, I still have a headache. I sighed, got up, washed up a bit, casually picked out a piece of clothing, and went out to take a look at that so-called decent house.
The phone call was from Tailong. I groggily glanced at the time; it was already noon, twelve o'clock. I got up and looked around, but everyone had already left. This empty room was left with just me. The third year of high school is finally over. After the college entrance examination, some of my friends are working while others spend their days playing online games. We still live together, but since receiving the admission notices, everyone has gradually gone home. Tomorrow, I will also return to my hometown for two months, and then come back to attend university. The third year of high school is finally over.

Tomorrow, I will also return to my hometown for two months, and then come back to attend university. I have given up the small rental near the high school and will move to a larger rental near the university. I can't help but sigh: life is just a series of upheavals.
Oh my! I turned around and saw a little girl who looked about four or five years old standing in front of me. However, there was definitely something wrong with her; her entire body was purple, her eyes had no pupils, only the sclera, and she was wearing a red dress
Miss Li soon arrived at the entrance of the community, dressed in a black professional outfit. Although she was in her thirties, she still exuded a certain charm, with a figure that was curvaceous and alluring. At least for me, a young man who has been single for eighteen years, her appeal was truly extraordinary.
Yes, I am right at the entrance of your community. Let's discuss it in person.
I hurried to the North Shore Community and arrived at the entrance of the library. I picked up my phone and dialed Miss Li's number. It was quickly answered on the other end, and the voice sounded like that of a woman in her thirties. The person on the other end asked, "Hello, is this regarding the rental?"
Just say whether you will help or not! This little girl seems to be a bit angry.
Hello, you must be Sister Li, right? We just spoke on the phone. Of course, I can't appear too much like a fool in front of Miss Li. I put on a smile and extended my hand, saying: "My name is Chen Hui, and I would like to take a look at the house."
"Hehe, you are truly humorous." I chuckled a couple of times, and after watching Miss Li leave, I organized my emotions and began tidying up the room. In fact, there wasn't much to clean; it was already quite neat and tidy. I had no intention of returning to the high school dormitory, nor did I have much luggage. Tomorrow, I will return to my hometown, and tonight I will stay here for one night before heading home, and then I will go to a wonderful university
All the strange occurrences began when I rented that cheaply furnished three-bedroom apartment. At that time, I had just graduated from high school, and my best friend Talon and I had learned early on that the university dormitories did not have air conditioning. We did not want to live on campus, so as soon as we received our admission notices, we eagerly started looking for a place near the university.
Miss Li is a businesswoman who lacks an employee dormitory. Initially, she felt it was not a big deal, just the death of a person. However, after the employees moved in, ten of them began to dream every night about playing hide and seek with a little girl in that house. Every night, it was the same dream. After reporting this to Miss Li, she began to take it seriously, relocated the employees, and then started renting the house. The rent was extremely low, but no one dared to live there. Even a couple of brave individuals who moved in ended up leaving within a few days. Now, the rent has been lowered even further, and it is being rented to university students, hoping that the vitality of the young can suppress any malevolent spirits.
Okay
Sister Li, I have rented this room, let's sign the contract right away! I immediately decided to rent it, and Miss Li brought the contract, quickly signing it with me. I paid a deposit of 200, and the rent will be paid in full after moving in. As I was seeing Miss Li out, she quietly advised me, "Young brother, I suggest you choose the room by the window."
No, when that thing comes out, just jump off the building and run. This is the fourth floor, and if you're lucky, you won't die.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped as if the air conditioning had been set to 16 degrees; it plummeted in an instant. Upon seeing that the ghostly old lady was angry, I dared not say anything further and quickly changed my words, saying: "Help, I must help. How would you like me to assist?"
My heart skipped a beat. Although I had just graduated from high school, I did not believe in any good fortune that fell from the sky. I looked at Miss Li and asked, "Sister Li, is there any problem with this house? I hope you can tell me the truth so that I can be mentally prepared. We are poor students, and if there is something you don't mention, it would not be good to have unpleasantness later. Let's put everything on the table." At that moment, I wondered if I had encountered a scammer, renting someone else's house that was about to expire and then subletting it. However, what Miss Li said next reassured me.
At that moment, Miss Li appeared troubled, as if she had made up her mind, and said: "Young man, I won't hide it from you; in fact, this house is haunted"
I swallowed hard, mentally repeating, there are definitely no ghosts at www.hetushu.com, it must be that Miss Li trying to scare me by placing this thing here. Trembling, I picked up the doll with my right hand, intending to throw it away when suddenly, a little girl's voice came from behind me
This is great! After hearing my promise to help her, the little girl smiled happily and then ran into my arms. I was completely unable to move, and I watched in astonishment as this girl actually entered my body! My vision went dark, and I fainted.
The original owners of this house were a couple in their early thirties, whose occupations are unknown. They had a twelve-year-old daughter, but six months ago, their daughter died at home under strange circumstances. It was said that the girl had strangled herself, and at the time, the incident caused quite a stir; I had heard about it as well, as it was reported in the newspapers. Subsequently, for reasons unknown, the couple decided to move and sold the house to Miss Li at a very low price.

Sister Li, how many bedrooms does your apartment have? Is there air conditioning? The most critical question is, what about the rent for this place... I looked around at those large houses and suddenly thought, how could this room possibly be worth only 200 yuan a month? Could it be that that rascal Tailong is playing me?
This is everything Miss Li told me. After hearing it, I felt a bit uneasy. How could I not be afraid? Although I believe there are no ghosts in this world, some things are not easy to clarify on my own. At that moment, I felt like backing out, but then I thought about the rent of only 300 per month and how close it was to the university I was attending. Opportunities like this are rare, so I decided to say, "I will go see the apartment first and then decide."
