Chapter 34

Wang Bin had called Yang Jian during the day.

But he was infuriated by Yang Jian's demand for fifty thousand yuan.

A high school student, who hasn't even fully grown, dared to ask for such a high price. If it weren't for his daughter Shanshan constantly nagging about finding this Yang Jian, he wouldn't have called him at all.

What does a barely adult student know?

Even if it were really haunted, does he know how to catch ghosts?

Because of his daughter's situation, Wang Bin had been very depressed for the past two days. He took a few days off from work and stayed home to take care of his daughter.

"Shanshan's condition is getting worse. The doctor said she is physically fine, just a bit weak and frightened. Should we take her to a psychiatrist tomorrow?" Wang Shanshan's mother, Wang Haiyan, said with a worried look.

Wang Bin replied, "That's the only option. Yang Jian is too much, demanding fifty thousand yuan as a benefit fee. How did our daughter get to know such a shameless person? Make sure Shanshan has less contact with him."

"When I first met that guy named Yang Jian, I felt he wasn't a good person. He even asked for two hundred yuan, showing no dignity or integrity." Wang Haiyan also looked disapproving.

However, as the two were talking in the living room,

Suddenly,

The door to Shanshan's room slammed shut, and out of the corner of his eye, it seemed something ran into the room.

Wang Bin's face immediately changed, and he quickly stood up.

Wang Haiyan also said in shock, "Honey, did you see... it looked like a child ran into Shanshan's room."

"Don't talk nonsense, scaring yourself." Wang Bin's face was also abnormal.

Because he also seemed to see a child run into Shanshan's room.

The child was naked, with a bluish-black complexion... like that of a stillborn baby.

But the front door was closed the whole time, and they were on the sixteenth floor, so it was impossible for a child to run in.

"Ah~!"

The next moment, a scream came from the room.

Wang Bin rushed over and opened the door.

But the room was pitch black.

The light had been turned off at some point.

Shanshan had been sleeping with the light on for the past few days.

Wang Bin quickly felt for the switch to turn on the light, but instead, he touched a small hand. The skin was very soft, like that of a child, but it was cold, without any warmth, like a corpse.

"What is this?" His heart raced, and he quickly pulled his hand back.

At that moment, Shanshan, frightened, pushed Wang Bin aside and ran out of the room, pale and trembling.

"Shanshan, are you okay? What happened?" Wang Haiyan hugged Shanshan and asked with concern.

Shanshan was terrified, hiding in her mother's arms, shivering.

Wang Bin, now mustering his courage, turned on the light again. This time, he didn't touch the cold small hand.

Under the light, the room was empty.

There was no child.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

On the floor of the room, there were dirty footprints of a child, scattered around the bed, even on the walls and the ceiling.

At this moment, Wang Bin's inner resolve completely collapsed.

His hands trembled as he quickly picked up his phone and called Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was right.

His home might really be haunted.

"Haiyan, take the daughter and leave here. Let's stay at a hotel for a few days. It's not safe at home." Wang Bin said while making the call.

"Okay, I'll pack our things." Wang Haiyan said, also feeling that something was wrong at home.

The call was connected.

"Hello, is this Yang Jian?" Wang Bin said.

Yang Jian, who was resting in the security room, answered, "Uncle Wang, what's up?"

"Where are you now? Can you come over quickly? I want to talk about what happened before. We can negotiate the price." Wang Bin said urgently.

"I'm working. I have to work later. If it's not an emergency, we can talk on the phone." Yang Jian said.

Wang Bin said, "I'm going out now. Where do you work? I'll come find you."

He felt that something was seriously wrong at home and needed to talk to Yang Jian in person.

A man-to-man confrontation.

"Furen Mall." Yang Jian said.

"Okay, we'll come over..." Wang Bin said, just putting on his shoes and preparing to go out, but when he tried the doorknob, he found the front door wouldn't open.

He tried harder, but the door remained immovable.

"Honey, what's wrong? Not going?" Wang Haiyan said.

"The door seems to be broken, it won't open." Wang Bin said.

Wang Haiyan said, "Is something blocking it?"

"Let me check." Wang Bin looked through the peephole.

A child, a naked child with a bluish-black complexion, was standing outside the door, pushing against it. The child's eyes had no pupils, completely black, and it looked up at the peephole, its eyes filled with innocence and a strange evil.

Wang Bin's face turned pale, and he stepped back in fear.

"Hello, Uncle Wang, are you there? If there's nothing, I'll hang up." Yang Jian said on the other end.

"No, don't hang up."

Wang Bin grabbed the phone like a lifeline and said, "That child is standing outside my front door. I can't get out. Can you come and save us? We can negotiate the price."

Yang Jian was stunned, then his face turned serious.

The ghost child at Shanshan's door?

"I'll try to get there as soon as possible. Be careful and stay away from it." Yang Jian hung up and immediately set out.

"Where are you going, Yang Jian?"

Yang Jian said, "I have something urgent to do. I'll be back soon."

As he set out,

Wang Bin, who had hung up, saw the doorknob slowly turning.

It seemed the thing outside was trying to open the door.

In a panic, Wang Bin, despite his fear, quickly ran over and locked the door, securing all the locks and safety measures.

"That thing is coming, it's trying to get in. Yang Jian, where is Yang Jian? I need Yang Jian." Shanshan, in a state of fear, shouted, on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Wang Bin stepped back, still shaken. He looked at the door, which was now quiet, but felt even more tense.

"Honey, what's happening outside?" Wang Haiyan was still not fully aware of the situation.

"Don't ask, let's go back to the bedroom." Wang Bin felt they couldn't leave through the front door, so he took his wife and daughter back to the master bedroom.

He turned on all the lights and closed the door.

He stared at the door for a while, and seeing no movement outside, he felt a bit relieved.

However, the next moment,

Wang Bin suddenly heard the sound of the front door opening from the living room.

"It's impossible." He was completely panicked.

The front door had so many locks, even with a key, it couldn't be opened. How could it just open so easily?

The child he saw through the peephole might really be... a ghost.

"What to do, what to do?"

Wang Bin was terrified, trying to think of a way out.

He looked at the window.

They were on the sixteenth floor, and it was impossible to escape through the window. Climbing to the next room was also very dangerous, and a fall would be fatal.

Could they only sit here and wait to die?
