Chapter 631: Basement No. 631
Huang Xiaolong led Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi towards Zhao Zhen’s villa. As they passed the crazed pet dogs, Huang Xiaolong released his Soul Power, launching the dogs that had been surrounding and targeting a cleaning lady, away.
As they walked, Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang were still trying to absorb what Huang Xiaolong had just said.
A murder had occurred in this villa district? The pet dogs had turned terrifying because they had been fed human flesh.
So in other words, someone in the community had been… dismembered!
The thought frightened both Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi, causing them to shudder.
“Master Long, should… should we call the police?” Miao Erfang asked, her voice trembling.
“No need. I’ll handle it.” Huang Xiaolong answered with a smile.
They approached the gate of Zhao Zhen’s villa.
The villa was tightly shut with many surveillance cameras installed in the yard and the gate.
“This is Zhao Zhen’s home.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. Then he drew a deep breath and murmured, “There’s a smell of blood… the villa reeks of blood~~~”
“Master Long, how are we going to get in? Are you suspecting that Zhao Zhen… Zhao Zhen is the perpetrator of the murder and dismemberment in this villa district?” Miao Erfang asked with disbelief written all over her face. “Oh my gosh, Zhao Zhen always seemed so refined. He’s such a person of influence, the future leader of Zhao’s Group… how could he possibly have committed murder… and dismemberment?”
“Appearances can be deceiving.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and then released several fierce ghosts from his ghost lantern to cover all the surveillance cameras of the villa.
Then, he took out several talismans to pass through the wall.
One minute later.
Huang Xiaolong, Miao Erfang, and Zhou Mi had slipped into the villa’s ground floor lobby.
The luxurious interior, high-end furniture, and light fixtures… every detail screamed of wealth and extravagance.
But, the first floor of the villa was deserted. Not only was Zhao Zhen missing, but there was also not even a single servant around.
The villa had three floors and a basement.
“Master Long, it seems Zhao Zhen is not at home~” Zhou Mi whispered, sounding like someone committing a theft.
Miao Erfang, however, was inspecting the lobby, trying to find any traces of blood. But after a while, she found no bloodstains at all.
“Don’t be so nervous. We’re not criminals, we are seeking justice.” Huang Xiaolong nonchalantly sat on a luxurious Italian imported sofa, lit a cigarette, and beckoned Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi to come over with clear comfort, as if he were at his own home.
The two female broadcasters sat next to Huang Xiaolong, their faces full of suspicion.
On the coffee table was a thick photo album.
Huang Xiaolong picked it up and started to flip through it. All the photos were of young, beautiful women with good figures.
Each photo had annotated pen comments beside it:
“Zhang Xiang, 18 years old, music teacher, pure and lively”
“Ming Lily, 21 years old, Saleswoman, cool and beautiful type”
“Zuo Xiao Qing, 20 years old, self-employed, passionate and unrestrained type”
…
Along with the basic information of the women in the photos, the annotations detailed how long it took to get them in bed, their performance in bed, and how many times he had slept with them… incredibly detailed.
“Huh?” Miao Erfang looked at the album and exclaimed. “I think I’ve seen this… this photo before, Zhang Xiang, yes, that’s the name, a few months ago Dong’an TV news channel aired a missing person’s notice. The missing girl’s name was Zhang Xiang… why… why is Zhang Xiang’s photo in Zhao Zhen’s album? This is… so strange!”
Miao Erfang felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise. Upon closer inspection, the note next to Zhang Xiang’s photo mentioned that Zhao Zhen had spent over 20,000 yuan to get her in bed, accomplishing it on their third meeting. Under the appearance of purity and playfulness, she was said to be very open in bed.
The more Miao Erfang read, the more creeped out she felt. Suddenly, she screamed again. “Ah! Zuo Xiaoqing! She was said to be… Zhao Zhen’s ex-girlfriend! But they broke up after only half a month, and then Zuo Xiaoqing disappeared… these… these girls… could it be… could it be…”
Miao Erfang was paled and speechless.
At that moment, in Huang Xiaolong’s vision, several girls in the album seemed to come to life. Their bodies were bloodied, especially Zhang Xiang, who had a sawed-off wound on her neck and a large gash on her abdomen from which her organs had been removed, according to Murphy’s law.
In the ghostly eyes of Zhang Xiang was a hint of resentment, but more outstanding was her helpless suffering. She said to Huang Xiaolong, “I died so miserably… I thought he would be sincere with me, I didn’t expect… he… he killed me, and then dismembered my corpse. My internal organs were even cooked and fed to the dogs… I was so pitiful, so miserable. Zhao Zhen is a psychopath!”
Of course, Zhang Xiang was already dead, brutally killed by Zhao Zhen.
But what was strange was that her ghost was trapped in this album.
“Why didn’t you go to have a reincarnation in the underworld, or become a vengeful ghost and seek revenge on Zhao Zhen after death?” Huang Xiaolong started a telepathic conversation with Zhang Xiang’s ghost.
“I don’t know… after I died, my soul was trapped in my photo by some strange power and I couldn’t leave this villa… I can’t be reborn.” Zhang Xiang’s ghost cried.
The other victimized girls’ ghosts began to cry as well.
Huang Xiaolong closed his eyes for a moment and then said, “No wonder… it turns out this villa district is embedded with a faint thread of Buddha power… It appears a highly accomplished monk used to live here and had set up a formation, trapping the ghost within the vicinity and preventing them from escaping…”
Huang Xiaolong nodded in understanding.
“You can rest assured, I will avenge you now and then help send you to emerge as new lives.” Huang Xiaolong said and then closed the album.
He took out a magical rune with an ear symbol.
The rune self-combusted, flashed gold, and intermittent weak feminine voices suddenly came from below.
The “below” here referred to the basement of the villa—
“Brother Zhen, please, let me go. I won’t report you, I swear… my mom is still waiting for me to come home… Brother Zhen, you’ve had my body, what else are you not satisfied with?”
“Don’t kill me… don’t kill me, I can’t hold on anymore… I…I haven’t slept for three days and nights… Brother Zhen, please spare my life…”
“Brother Zhen, I’m willing to be your slave, but I have one request, don’t lock me with these chains… my neck hurts so much…”
“I don’t want to die, I’m only 20, I really don’t want to die~~~”
“Zhao Zhen! You’re a heartless beast dressed in man’s skin! Just kill me! Even if I turn into a ghost, I won’t let you go!”
…
From the sound of it, it seemed as though several girls were held in the basement, crying out in despair and pleading piteously.
Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi exchanged glances. Then, flames of fury began to burn in their eyes.
They had already understood what was going on!
“Let’s go, to the basement.” Huang Xiaolong stood up, stretching his limbs.
