Book 3: Chapter 3: This Place Is Haunted
“What? This place is haunted?”
Ye Xiao stared at Su Mu’s serious expression and automatically felt the urge to laugh. However, then he followed the other’s directions and walked up to the second floor; when he spotted the female corpse in one of the bedrooms, he could not bring himself to laugh.
This place really is haunted.
This was the first thought that flashed through his mind at the time. If not, there was absolutely no explanation for how a perfectly healthy person could have died in such a sinister and terrifying way.
The person lying on the bedroom floor was Yang Wen Jie.
Yang Wen Jie was dead.
The kind woman that had been taking care of the child the entire journey…was dead.
This conclusion was based on the clothes the body wore, not its face.
Her face was so shrivelled that the only thing left was wrinkled skin wrapped around jutting facial bones, making it very difficult to discern the original appearance. The body was dried up and withered. The skin on the arm peeking from the sleeve was exactly like a walnut shell, creased in folds atop each other.
