290: Chapter 290 I Dare to Pick Up Female Ghosts

At this point, Zhang Xiaofu had no choice but to throw caution to the wind.

It's just a haunted guesthouse, right?

With so many of them together, what was there to be afraid of!

Besides, with Lin Xiao, who was inherently surrounded by an aura of the supernatural, there was definitely no danger!

After grabbing the keys, they set off.

The island wasn't large, and after walking for a little over ten minutes, they arrived at the haunted guesthouse.

This was also a Villa.

The heavy iron gate was tightly shut, and the door handle was covered in dust; it looked like it hadn't been visited for quite some time.

Lin Xiao used the key to unlock it and gave it a hard push.

"Creeeeeak!"

The large iron gate made a heavy sound.

A gust of cold wind blew out from the crack in the door.

Zhang Xiaofu shrank his neck and instinctively took a step back.

"Let's go in and take a look first."

Lin Xiao stepped into the Villa first, with the others following behind.

The interior of the Villa had a vintage decor style, and the colors of the walls, floors, and furniture were quite highly saturated.

The furniture was in a Renaissance style, carrying an inherent sense of historical vicissitudes.

This resulted in the interior being very dim, even during the day.

It gave people the feeling of an old European church from hundreds of years ago, adding an eerie atmosphere for no reason.

Zhang Xiaofu had started feeling afraid from the moment he walked in.

His body was stiff, his eyes fixed on the floor, not daring to look around.

Yang Yong couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Fu, why are you acting like a zombie?"

"Zombie? Where is there a zombie!"

Zhang Xiaofu was startled and jumped.

Yang Yong stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Zhang Xiaofu's neck, "Look at how scared you are, hurry up and come sit down!"

Zhang Xiaofu looked up and finally noticed that Lin Xiao and Qian Ling were already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Aren't you guys afraid?"

Zhang Xiaofu couldn't help but ask.

"What's there to be afraid of in broad daylight?"

Qian Ling covered her mouth and giggled.

"Uh, are there really no ghosts during the day?"

Zhang Xiaofu was still not very sure.

"No, hurry up and come sit!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at Zhang Xiaofu.

Seeing that Lin Xiao had spoken, Zhang Xiaofu felt slightly more at ease.

He quickly walked over to sit beside Lin Xiao, cautiously looking around.

His gaze rested on a few paintings on the wall.

Lin Xiao also noticed the paintings, "Your aunt has quite good taste."

"Yes, she was a painter when she was young, so her aesthetic sense is quite good."

Qian Ling said with a smile.

"Good taste, yet she managed to decorate this house to look like a haunted house..."

Zhang Xiaofu muttered under his breath.

This remark reminded the others.

"That's true. No one has died here, so how did it suddenly start being haunted?"

Yang Yong asked suspiciously, "Lin Xiao, did you notice anything?"

"No."

Lin Xiao silently shook his head.

Zhang Xiaofu whispered: "Since it's haunted, it must be unclean! Maybe someone really did die here, and you guys just don't know about it?"

"It seems that's a possibility!"

Qian Ling rested her chin on one hand and speculated, "What if someone snuck in, committed murder, and hid the body..."

"Or maybe this place used to be a mass grave! The yin energy is too heavy!"

Yang Yong also chimed in with his guesses.

Listening to these remarks, Zhang Xiaofu wished he could slap himself.

Why was he speculating blindly for no reason!

"Guessing is useless; let's go look around."

Lin Xiao said, then stood up and walked towards the stairs.

Compared to the living room, the lighting in other areas was even worse.

Zhang Xiaofu didn't want to wander around, but he didn't dare stay in the living room alone either.

He had no choice but to quickly follow, unwilling to be separated from Lin Xiao by even half a step.

Yang Yong and Qian Ling weren't as afraid, so they stayed on the first floor to check the kitchen, laundry room, and similar areas.

Soon, they gathered back on the first floor.

"There are no issues on the second and third floors."

"The first floor is also fine."

"..."

The four of them looked at each other, knowing they had made the trip in vain.

They finally understood why the protagonists in horror movies always waited until night to catch ghosts.

Because you can't encounter them during the day at all!

"Forget it, let's come back at night."

Yang Yong said with some regret.

"Huh? We're coming back at night..."

Zhang Xiaofu still felt apprehensive.

To be honest, although they hadn't encountered a ghost just now, he kept feeling that the rooms on the second and third floors exuded something eerie.

It made him uncontrollably recall the horror movies he had watched before, constantly imagining one terrifying scene after another.

He was already like this during the day; he didn't dare imagine what it would be like at night.

Yang Yong teased: "Xiao Fu, did you do a lot of bad things in the past? Why are you so scared?"

"You're the one who did a lot of bad things!"

Zhang Xiaofu straightened his body and stubbornly argued, "This is what they call a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!"

"Haha, keep making excuses! Being this cowardly, you're really not a man!"

Yang Yong curled his lip mockingly, "If you really can't handle it, don't come tonight; the three of us will be enough."

When had Zhang Xiaofu ever been looked down upon like this?

His competitive spirit temporarily overcame his fear.

He said almost without hesitation: "Who are you calling cowardly? Let me tell you, I must come tonight, and not only will I come, I dare to stay here for the night! Do you dare?"

"You don't need to tell me that; I was already planning to stay here for the night!"

Yang Yong's temper flared up too.

"Fine, fine, fine, then it's settled. Whoever backs out is a coward!"

Zhang Xiaofu stretched his neck, looking determined.

Seeing that he couldn't suppress Zhang Xiaofu's arrogance, Yang Yong upped the ante, "Then let's play the Spirit Board to summon ghosts tonight. Do you dare?"

"What's there not to dare? If you can summon a female ghost, I'll dare to hit on her!"

Zhang Xiaofu was also getting carried away.

"Heh, a mere female ghost, you think I..."

Yang Yong wanted to continue, but was suddenly grabbed by the ear by Qian Ling.

"What else do you want to do?"

A cold smile curled on the corner of Qian Ling's mouth, her eyes full of warning.

"Ahem, nothing, nothing, I dare to catch ghosts, catching ghosts is fine, right?"

Yang Yong laughed dryly.

Seeing them talking so animatedly, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, since you're all prepared, I won't come tonight. I'm a bit sleepy, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiaofu and Yang Yong were both panicked when they heard this.
