The hall was brightly lit as if it were daylight, and the woman he saw during the day was curled up alone on the sofa, fast asleep.
She looked so tired that she didn’t even change into her pajamas and was still wearing the same coat she had worn during the day.
Several yellow talismans and a bagua plate hung above the door in the hallway.
The window at the end was open, letting in a refreshing breeze, and the curtains swayed casually.
Despite the ventilation, the old house still smelled musty and decayed.
Apart from several pots of green plants on the TV cabinet facing the sofa, it looked empty.
The doors of the surrounding rooms were tightly shut. Bai Lixin randomly chose a room and walked in. Surprisingly, the light was on.
It was a bedroom, with a double bed placed in the center, two pillows neatly arranged, slightly indented, and the imprints on the bed sheet were heavier.
The closet was open, Bai Lixin searched inside and found several men’s clothes hanging, but there were no clothes belonging to the female owner.
Bai Lixin directly passed through the wall to the adjacent room, where the lights were also on.
The room was slightly smaller than the previous one, with a bunk bed against the wall, and the clothes hanging in the closet belonged to a woman.
A table was placed against the wall, cluttered with various daily necessities.
There were only these two rooms in the house, the rest being the bathroom and the kitchen.
Just as the woman had said before, there were no cameras in the house.
There were no computers, televisions, or even a mirror. There was only a round dressing mirror in the woman’s room, and there was not even a mirror in the bathroom.
Escape System: [It seems that their marriage is not good, although they haven’t separated, they’ve been sleeping in separate rooms.]
Bai Lixin’s gaze fell on the somewhat dated wooden double bed: [Do Su Hong and his wife have a child?]
Escape System: [They have a son, who is ten years younger than Su Xiaohua. When Su Xiaohua was living in Su Hong’s house, they shared a bunk bed in one room.]
Bai Lixin adjusted his form to a semi-human, semi-spirit intermediate state, invisible to others but able to touch things.
After adjusting, he began to walk around the room, searching for something.
Looking under the bed, he noticed a square iron box tucked away at the innermost part.
Bai Lixin dragged the box out, [What happened to that child?]
The Escape System was puzzled: [Did I say something happened to that child?]
Bai Lixin: [The only things that hint at the existence of a third person in this house are this bunk bed and the study desk in the corner. Apart from that, there’s no trace of the boy. With everything cleaned up so neatly, something probably happened to this boy.]
[Indeed,] the Escape System paused, [That boy died.]
The square iron box was quite heavy, so to avoid making any noise, Bai Lixin had to drag it very carefully: [When did it happen? What was the cause of death?]
Escape System: [Four years ago, the cause of death was drowning. After the boy finished the college entrance examination, his parents took him to the beach to play, but he was swept into the sea by the waves and drowned. This incident was quite a sensation at the time because the boy had outstanding academic performance, was among the top in the province, and was admitted to Qingbei University. During that period, the school had been using the boy as a promotional tool for enrollment, but before everyone could celebrate for long, this unfortunate news came.]
S419M: [However, his death was quite strange.]
Bai Lixin opened the iron box and found a photo album and some medals and certificates inside. He picked up one of the medals, [Because he won a medal at a city-level swimming event, so it’s hard to imagine he died by drowning?]
S419M: [Yes, that’s right.]
Bai Lixin carefully examined the contents of the iron box. At the bottom was a neatly folded school uniform, with various honors neatly arranged on top.
There were awards for national knowledge competitions, poetry contests, math competitions, and sports competitions.
Bai Lixin took out the photo album and flipped through it. The first page was a family photo.
Standing in the middle was a tall and handsome boy, with Su Hong and Zhang Li standing on either side of him, apparently their son.
The boy was handsome, coupled with his outstanding abilities and academic performance, he seemed to embody the phrase “the child from another family”.
However, unlike his parents’ joy, the boy’s expression was cool, even somewhat gloomy.
Holding the family photo in his hand, Bai Lixin was stunned and asked a question, [How many people do you see in the photo?]
S419M’s voice trembled slightly: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5… Wait, should those count as people?]
Bai Lixin: […]
In the photo, behind the three people, several figures were lined up in a row.
Their figures were blurry like mist, their faces devoid of color, and their eyes all stared at the boy.
The figures closest to the boy even had their hands on his shoulders, and their faces were pressed tightly against his face, looking very intimate.
S419M was right, these figures couldn’t be human.
Bai Lixin continued to flip through the photos, and every time there was a photo of the boy, those “people” would appear behind him.
Obviously, Su Hong and Zhang Li couldn’t understand these figures, otherwise they wouldn’t have included these photos in the album.
Gradually, Bai Lixin discovered the problem.
The album contained photos of the boy from childhood to adulthood, and there were no ghosts around him when he was young. But from a certain point in time, these ghosts began to gather around him.
It started with one, then two, three, four… As he grew older, the number of ghosts around him increased, until there were more than a dozen, too many to even fit in the photos.
Bai Lixin flipped to the first photo where the ghosts first appeared behind the boy.
It was a photo of the boy winning his first award. He was wearing a well-tailored suit with a black bow tie, holding the championship trophy of the junior high school speech competition on stage.
And beside him, a blurry ghost also reached out its hand, holding up the trophy.
Judging by the appearance of the figure, it was about eleven or twelve years old. Calculating the time, it should be after Xiao Hua went missing.
Every time he won an award afterward, those ghosts were always by his side.
The ghosts often changed, sometimes it was this figure, sometimes it was that one.
Before the ghosts appeared, there were only photos of the boy playing.
But ever since the ghosts appeared, honors came one after another.
This inevitably makes people instinctively associate whether it was because of these ghosts helping the boy that he achieved so much.
Bai Lixin asked, [Was Su Hong’s son ordinary when he was young?]
The Escape System: [He didn’t have outstanding talents during his elementary school years, his academic performance was average, and Su Xiaohua kept tutoring him. But after Su Xiaohua disappeared, when he entered junior high school, this child suddenly seemed to have tapped into his full potential and became a genius.]
[Let’s summarize the timeline,] Bai Lixin casually flipped through the photos, [Su Xiaohua came to R City to attend high school and stayed at Su Hong’s house. At that time, Mrs. Shen rented the room next door, and Shen Shukuang was Mrs. Shen’s boyfriend. From the film, it can be seen that Shen Shukuang and Su Xiaohua met and knew each other during Su Xiaohua’s high school years.]
[Su Hong took some indecent photos of Su Xiaohua and Shen Shukuang. But judging by their dazed expressions, they must have been under the influence of something, and the shooting may have been completed while they were not in their right minds. And this film ended up in Mrs. Shen’s hands.]
[During Su Xiaohua’s stay at her uncle’s house, an indecent video of her circulated on a dark web. Judging by the timeline, it was most likely taken by Su Hong. While Su Xiaohua was alive, Su Hong’s son was still normal. After Su Xiaohua’s death, ghosts began to gather around Su Hong’s son. For reasons unknown, those ghosts helped him and gave him an advantage over others.]
[This advantage continued until the end of the college entrance examination. Su Hong’s son lived up to expectations and was admitted to the country’s top university. Undoubtedly, he became the focus of everyone’s attention, showered with spotlight, flowers, and praise, without reservation.]
[With success comes envy, and Su Hong and his wife must have felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Their son was their most precious and rare creation. When their perfect creation was presented to the world and praised, it was also a praise for them. In this triumphant atmosphere, Su Hong’s family went on vacation to the seaside. When everything was so dreamy and perfect, Su Hong’s son suddenly died…]
Bai Lixin pursed his lips tightly, [Send them to heaven, then throw them down and break them into pieces.]
[If it wasn’t a coincidence, then this is very likely a long-planned revenge.]
[Did Su Hong develop a fear of cameras after his son’s death?]
The Escape System hesitated slightly, [The timing is a bit vague, but it’s possible.]
Bai Lixin murmured to himself as if in a trance, “Why did he suddenly develop a fear of lenses? Is he afraid of the camera, or… did he see something through the camera?”
—
In the live broadcast room:
[Wow… so many ghosts…wuuu…I’m scared, hug me.]
[What did you see? Could it be that you saw ghosts?]
[Or did he see the deceased son?]
[A mediocre son suddenly became outstanding, and an outstanding son died at the peak of his life… If this is a long-planned revenge, then who is the one seeking revenge on Su Hong?]
[Have you ever thought that Su Hong’s situation is similar to Su Xiaohua’s parents? Both had outstanding children who suddenly disappeared, as if the Su Hong family was reenacting the situation when Su Xiaohua disappeared.]
[Hey! Don’t say that, don’t say it. Manipulating ghosts to help the son, creating a perfect image of the son, then destroying it, letting them experience the pain of losing a child. Isn’t the person seeking revenge Su Xiaohua?]
[I keep having a feeling that Su Xiaohua didn’t die. Those who harmed Su Xiaohua are emerging one by one, and none of them are having a good ending. Su Hong, Shen Shukuang, Cao Ji’an… aren’t they all like this?]
[Su Hong is missing, could he have been killed like Shen Shukuang?]
[It might not necessarily be Su Xiaohua, maybe someone is helping Su Xiaohua seek revenge.]
[But who would help Su Xiaohua seek revenge?]
[Ran Jingjing… isn’t that possible?]
[!! Investigate! Investigate again!]
[This copy is quite mysterious and intriguing, family, I really want to know the truth in the end.]
—
Just as he was about to close the photo album, Bai Lixin’s hand suddenly stopped on the first group photo. His head slightly lowered, his eyes scanned the ghosts in the photo back and forth. His index finger finally landed on one of the ghosts, and he said somewhat uncertainly, “This… I seem to have seen it somewhere.”
The Escape System: [Ah? Where have you seen it? In the underworld?]
Bai Lixin fell into thought, trying to recall where he had seen such a ghost.
‘In the underworld?
No, it seemed to be a casual glance…’
“I remember now,” A scene flashed through Bai Lixin’s mind. “It was tonight! Among those evil ghosts summoned by the demon masked man with the soul-calling banner, there was this face.”
The Escape System: “???”
S419M: “???”
The Escape System: [The ghosts that followed Su Hong’s son appeared with the exorcist? Did the exorcist come here and capture those ghosts?]
S419M: [Maybe it is the opposite. Maybe the exorcist released those ghosts to help Su Hong’s son?]
The Escape System: [What’s his reason for doing that? The exorcist seems to hate ghosts, he almost killed Master Bai Lixin earlier.]
Bai Lixin flipped through the album again, but this time, the focus shifted from Su Hong’s son to those ghosts.
Besides the previously mentioned face, he also saw five or six familiar faces.
[There’s another possibility,] after confirming that nothing was missed, Bai Lixin restored the album and medals to the box, and pushed them back under the bed, [Perhaps the exorcist is Su Hong’s son.]
[But Su Hong’s son is already dead,] the Escape System immediately countered, [His body was retrieved and cremated by his family.]
Bai Lixin licked his somewhat dry lips, [But… who said the exorcist must be a living person, right?]
The Escape System & S419M: [???]
Footsteps could be heard outside. The footsteps approached, and the door was suddenly pushed open from the hall.
Su Hong’s wife, Zhang Li was holding a small wooden sword in her hand, her whole body was tense, and the tendons on her face were trembling.
She carefully scanned every corner of the room and only after confirming that no one was there did she take a deep breath and slowly back out of the room.
As she closed the door, Bai Lixin heard her murmuring softly, “Why did I seem to hear someone talking just now?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I must have misheard and scared myself.”
Just as she stepped out of the room, there was a loud bang from inside.
Zhang Li, who was standing at the door, was suddenly startled. She only dared to glance at the closed bedroom door from the corner of her eye, then rushed to the coffee table, picked up her phone, and tremblingly dialed a phone number.
“Hello, hello, Master, Master, help!”
A male voice answered on the other end: “What’s wrong?”
Zhang Li looked towards the closed bedroom door in fear: “There’s movement at home, in my bedroom!”
Male voice: “Don’t panic, is it just making noise? Is there any other behavior?”
Zhang Li: “No, not for now, just a bang. Oh, and I think I heard someone talking just now.”
“Someone talking?” the male voice whispered, “Did you follow my instructions?”
Zhang Li hunched her shoulders and nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, I followed your instructions, I painted the blood of a black dog on the outer wall, and the yellow talisman and Bagua plate are all hung on the door.”
“Do you practice diligently every day?”
Zhang Li: “Yes, yes.”
Male voice: “…It seems that this evil spirit is more terrifying than I imagined.”
Zhang Li: “What should I do, Master?”
Male voice: “It seems that we need to use a higher-level magic weapon. However, this high-level magic weapon is unparalleled in the world…”
Zhang Li: “How much does it cost, Master?”
Male voice: “Those who practice talk about fate, not money, it’s thirty thousand yuan.”
Zhang Li gritted her teeth, “Okay, Master, as long as these ghosts stop harassing me, even if it’s three hundred thousand, I’ll accept it!”
Male voice: “I’ll send you the bank account, after you deposit thirty thousand yuan to the bank account, I will send the magic weapon to you tomorrow.”
“It’s cash on delivery, so make sure to check and receive it. It’s just that I’m not willing to pay for the shipping for you. Regarding matters of fate, you must do everything yourself. If I help you pay for it, it won’t work because it will seem as if your heart is not sincere.”
Zhang Li: “Okay, Master. I understand, Master!”
As soon as the call ended, Zhang Li began to transfer money to the account sent by the “Master.”

In the live broadcast room:
[Is this online fraud?]
[It looks like she’s been deceived more than once!]
[Isn’t her family very poor? How can she come up with so much money at once?]
[Even if she’s poor, she should have thirty thousand yuan, right?]
[Lili, did you forget to download the anti-fraud app, Lili, you can’t be careless.]
[Lili, you really need to be more careful, Lili! If not, find the exorcist with the demon mask, at least he has real skills!]
[??? God Xin: Call him over and kill me again? My life isn’t a life, right?]
[God Xin says “It’s so nice to have you all.”]
The hall was brightly lit as if it were daylight, and the woman he saw during the day was curled up alone on the sofa, fast asleep.
She looked so tired that she didn’t even change into her pajamas and was still wearing the same coat she had worn during the day.
