Chapter 262: Chapter 251: Mysterious Plane 6

Strange occurrences began seven days after Qin Qi’s death, with a woman’s opera singing mysteriously resonating from the empty stage every evening.

Sometimes, objects would fall from the stage, or the actors would inexplicably stumble and fall.

Slowly, rumors started to spread that Qin Qi’s ghost, due to her deep attachment, still lingered on the stage.

The troupe leader had even hired a wizard to perform rituals, but all in vain, and the wizard was injured in the process.

Then no one dared to go to the theater, fearing they’d be harmed by the ghost. The troupe leader, with no other choice, had to relocate to a new location.

Some tried to demolish the theater and build something else, but each attempt was met with various accidents, so no one dared to try anymore, and the theater was slowly left to decay.

Bold people who tried to explore were scared away.

Over time, the place became a well-known haunted house that no one dared to approach.

"That’s the story," both men finished recounting it, one would tell and the other would fill in the details.

"What about Tian’s third young master? You said he also committed suicide, what’s the situation with that?" Xia Yue asked.

"After learning of Qin Qi’s death, the third young master of the Tian family fell severely ill. Upon recovery, he kept attempting suicide but was always stopped by his family. This has been going on for three years now. His family keeps watch over him, fearing he might commit suicide in a moment of negligence. It shows what a hopeless romantic he is."

"They say the reason Qin Qi’s ghost refuses to leave is that she’s waiting for Tian’s third young master to come to her. But his family won’t let him, and so, she refuses to move on."

"Brother, where is this theater located?" Yan Mo asked.

Hearing Yan Mo’s question, the two men looked at him in horror, asking, "Young man, you’re not thinking of going to the theater, are you? Curiosity has made many who entered come out insane. You both look like you’re from wealthy families. There’s no need to throw your futures away."

"I’m just asking, I don’t actually plan to go in. Even if I am curious, I’ll only look from the entrance." Yan Mo knew they meant well and played along.

"It’s down the southern street, turn the corner and you’ll find it." The man on the right breathed a sigh of relief hearing Yan Mo wouldn’t go in and told him.

"Thank you. We’re grateful for your story today. By the way, could you tell us where we could stay? We arrived today and haven’t had time to find a place." Yan Mo thanked them with a smile and then asked.

"If you want a hotel, you can go right out the door. If you’re looking for an inn, you can head straight out."

"Alright, thank you. It’s getting late, so we’ll go find a place to stay. We will take care of the bill. Please take your time." Yan Mo nodded, leading Xia Yue and the others away.

"We won’t stand on ceremony then." The two men happily looked at the table, filled with sunflower seeds, peanuts, and cakes. What they couldn’t finish could be taken home for their families to taste.

After leaving, Yan Mo and the others headed towards the southern street.

"Shall we check if there’s anything strange at the theater now?" Xia Yue asked.

"We’ll scout the place first before looking for a place to stay." Yan Mo noted the time; it was only about three o’clock, still early.

"Fine, it’s good to have a look first." Xia Yue nodded, thinking that it was still early, even if there really was a ghost, it wouldn’t come out yet, which would give her some time to adjust.
