Chapter 40: Evil Magic
It was a three-story house that seemed to cover a fairly large area, with a small garden attached. There was also a swimming pool within the garden, though the water in the pool was now drained. The door to the garden was gently pushed open by Mu Aisan. Following the newspaper's depiction of the road around Dean Xie's house, so it was found here. This house, was exactly the same as the photo published in the newspaper. Frankly speaking, Sun Jiamin was now also immensely impressed with Mu Aishan's guts. In her place, she really wouldn't dare to run here. This place was a proper murder house where three people had died, or a murder house on such a horrible island, it was also just too scary. It was really worthy of being an actress who had acted in horror movies! The two women walked into the courtyard. Within the courtyard, it was silent at this time. But at times like this, the quieter it was, the more scared people were instead. It was as if in a horror movie, the most terrifying was always the moment before the ghost came out. After entering inside the courtyard, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan were both staring at the house with incomparable nervousness. Should we go in? But Mu Aishan's intuition told herself that inside here, she might be able to find the body of the occupant and collect another key. "You …… you stay close to me ……" Listening to Mu Aisan's tone of voice, Sun Jiamin had no difficulty in realizing that her spirit was obviously also supported to the limit. If it continued like this, I'm afraid that they were really not going to be able to hold on. After they walked into the garden and looked at the fading trees around them, they began to approach the drained swimming pool a little bit. This swimming pool wasn't that big, nor was it that deep, and at this time it was in a mess, full of dust and garbage. "Let's go ……" When Mu Aisan said these two words, she also felt that her tone was incomparably hoarse. It really was …… almost impossible to hold on. Fast, couldn't hold on anymore. Right now, no matter if it was Mu Aishan or Sun Jiamin, they were all relying on a breath of air to hold on strongly. Having lasted until now, they themselves felt that it was too difficult for them. "The gate …… is there ……" "Well …… look, see ……" "Then …… then you go first ……" "Uh, I, shall we go first?" Completely different from just now, this murderous mansion, at this time in front of them was too terrifying. If they continued to move forward, no one knew, would they turn into a skeleton in here as well? Therefore, they now, their feet stepped and backed up, how could they not make up their mind to go in. "Will our …… lives be in danger if we really go in?" Sun Jiamin was now really scared to the point of crying, she really didn't dare to go in! Mu Aishan was just as scared as well, not to mention the fact that the current her could be said to be starving. Standing at the door, nearly five minutes passed, and finally, Mu Aishan still made up her mind. "It's better to go in, the only way we can have leverage to trade with that mysterious person now is to look for the corpse and have him find a way to take us to escape from this island. Now that there's even such a thing as talking across time and space, I'm skeptical if this island is some kind of otherworldly space." Mu Aishan, as an actress, usually watched Hollywood movies a lot, and she knew the plot of parallel space inside many sci-fi movies by heart. "Otherworldly space?" Hearing these four words startled Sun Jiamin, she looked around and said, "Could it be the same as that mysterious island in the American drama 'Lost', a border between humans and hell?" "Well …… when you say it like that, there are really a few similarities." "Never mind, this is unimportant, anyway, you mean we're going in here to face it, right?" "Yes." Sun Jiamin glanced at the door, she was really scared to death at this moment. "If I die, my parents will be very sad …… and Dev, I'm afraid he'll starve to death at home …… although I left him enough dog food for a week when I left… …" These few words, she said them all in a very low voice, so said Mu Aisan didn't even hear them clearly. "Let's go!" Mu Aishan grabbed Sun Jiamin's hand, and truthfully, with only her alone, she also flatly didn't dare to go in. Walking to the door, she took a deep breath. As the saying goes, stretching one's head is also a knife, shrinking one's head is also a knife, instead of hesitating, it's better to directly fight. It was this spirit of daring to fight that allowed her to kill all the way from a nameless eighteen line in the entertainment industry to a first line traffic star today. After the door was pushed open by her, she left it wide open and then walked in with Sun Jiamin. Once they entered, there was an incomparably spacious hall, and the hall directly connected to the second and third floors, and once they raised their heads, they could see the ceiling of the third floor, and not far in front of them was the staircase that led to the second floor. Step by step they moved through the hall and began to approach the stairs to the second floor. Remember the newspaper said …… that Xie Xun's body was found on the second floor. While moving towards the staircase location, Sun Jiamin suddenly hit her foot hard against a table on the side. And then, the table slammed hard and overturned on the ground! Immediately after …… Sun Jiamin then suddenly saw that underneath that table, there was a skeleton lying! The clothes that skeleton was wearing …… "That's right! He's an apartment dweller!" Mu Aisan looked at the resident's corpse, squatted down, and hurriedly touched from the corpse's pocket a touch. Afterward, she fumbled out a key. "Sure enough, it's the apartment dweller!" She handed the key to Sun Jiamin and said, "In this way, both of us have gotten a key." "Yeah ……," Sun Jiamin looked at the key and said, "Now, I feel quite a bit more at ease." At least there was one more piece of information, and what that mysterious person wanted to know was the location where the body was displayed. "Let's go!" Sun Jiamin's first reaction at this moment was to leave! "Leave?" Mu Aisan shook her head and said, "Maybe there's some other kind of intelligence clue that can be found here. The more intelligence we have in our hands, the more leverage we have." "This?" Mu Aishan then looked at the skeleton again and was just about to say something when a moonlight poured in through the window at this exact moment. Immediately afterward, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan saw that the skeleton's teeth, unexpectedly at this time, turned pitch black! What's going on here? "Black teeth …… this?" The previous phone call alert, and the newspaper had mentioned it! When Dean Xie's son, Xie Xun, died, his teeth were also pitch black! Although according to the coroner's test, the corpse could not be Xie Xun, both Mu Aishan and Sun Jiamin thought that it was most likely the real Xie Xun. The two women immediately began to move away from the corpse, their faces turning ugly. Immediately afterward, they turned back and ran towards the front door! It was just a pity that …… they weren't apartment dwellers and didn't have the sense to guard the gate. When reaching the gate, the odd wind suddenly blew, and the gate immediately closed automatically! With the door closed this time, the two women ran to the door, but naturally, they couldn't open the door in any way! "No!" Sun Jia Min was so scared that she looked back, and the corpse, unexpectedly …… disappeared! This immediately scared her out of her wits! "Ai, Sister Aisan, it's gone, that skeleton is gone!" Mu Aishan immediately also looked back and was equally shocked! Although he had long seen dead people who could walk before, but now that he was trapped here, this fear naturally rose several times more! "Escape …… quickly to the second floor!" The windows on the first floor were blocked outside, so they could only go to the second floor. Sun Jiamin was now completely out of ideas, what Mu Aisan said was what she said, and could only continue to follow behind her. The two women quickly ran towards the location of the stairs! The two women ran all the way to the second floor, along the door of a certain room, and directly ran in! After rushing into the door of the room, but it was discovered that the windows on the second floor were blocked as well! Just like Blackwater, the windows were sealed with countless wooden boards outside! "How …… to do ah? I told you I shouldn't have come in!" At this time, Sun Jiamin was on the verge of crying out, what the hell to do at this time? Mu Aishan, on the other hand, was recalling the images from earlier. The skeleton's teeth suddenly turned black and then disappeared? Could it be that the teeth turning black meant that the skeleton had turned from a corpse, into an evil spirit? Just then, suddenly they heard, from the next room, a voice. "Is what you said true?" "Yes. This is the only way I can get Seeker back! He's been missing for three years now! I must get him back!" "But, this kind of evil magic is incomparably sinister ah, if it brings any curse ……" "I couldn't care less! I, Xie Tianchi, have practiced medicine all my life, but I can't save my son! I'd rather use this evil technique!" Someone was next door! Sun Jiamin and Mu Aisan rushed out, came to the door of the next room, pushed open the door to take a look …… Inside, it was empty, where was anyone else?
