Chapter 33: Chapter 5: The Mysterious House

"So, with that in mind, you continued to follow your dad?"

"Yes..."

Dai Lin clutched his pen and glanced at Jiang Han before him.

Suddenly, his left eye felt a sharp pain!

The sting made him quickly cover his left eye!

Then, in the blood-red space of his right eye, with a blink, he could see a hand covered in blood fiercely stretching out from that bloody space!

Dai Lin clenched his teeth tightly and slowly released his hand.

He shut his eyes hard, then opened them again!

This time, the hand receded back into the bloody space.

This devil... wanted to come out!

Once out, it would kill him and Lin Yan!

"Your eyes... What’s wrong?" Jiang Lan was about to continue speaking but paused upon seeing Dai Lin like this, "Are you alright?"

Dai Lin waved his hand, took a sip of tea, and said, "It’s nothing, something got in my eye, but it’s fine now. Oh, the tea is quite good."

Gao Heyann looked at Dai Lin meaningfully and asked, "Which eye is uncomfortable?"

Without hesitation, Dai Lin replied, "Both."

At this stage, there was no need to hide this from Gao Heyann, as both she and Yin Wuque hoped he could control the Devil’s Eye, while Dai Lin hoped to get rid of the devil trapped in his right eye as soon as possible. Moreover, concerning the current patient’s treatment, Gao Heyann had more experience. As a doctor handling a patient’s matter, Dai Lin would never take it lightly.

"Understood." Gao Heyann then turned to Jiang Lan and said, "Miss Jiang, please continue. What happened next... Don’t oversimplify; tell us anything you find unnatural. Maybe while recalling, you might remember something else."

"Alright..."

So, Jiang Lan resumed recounting her experiences of following her sleepwalking father.

"As you saw, this area is suburban, there aren’t many vehicles on the road, and my father never walked onto the road, so I felt relatively safe keeping some distance from him..."

Jiang Han gave a bitter smile, "I really don’t remember anything."

"But to my surprise, we walked about four or five kilometers, ending up near a garbage processing plant. Due to the plant, property prices in the vicinity kept dropping, making houses hard to sell. My father stopped in front of a small two-story house and then, he took out a key and unlocked the door!"

At this, Dai Lin immediately looked at Jiang Han.

The latter shook his head, saying, "I don’t know how I got that key, and I’ve never bought a house there either."

"I’ll explain more about the house later..." Jiang Lan paused, clutching the teacup before her, and continued, "In any case... I was very surprised at the time. After my dad entered, he didn’t close the door, so I immediately followed him in. Inside, it was pitch-black, and the only thing I could do was to use my mobile’s flashlight for illumination. But when I got in, I couldn’t find my dad anywhere. I had to search around, thinking maybe my dad had secretly bought a property without telling me. But even if he wanted to buy a house, it wouldn’t be in such an area, right?"

Dai Lin picked up the teacup again and took a sip of water.

For some reason, listening to Jiang Lan’s words, he subconsciously felt a tingling in his scalp. Especially since the one who had performed these bizarre actions, Jiang Han, was sitting right in front of him.

Now, when he looked at Jiang Han again, there was no longer that strange sensation in his left eye.

"Then, I searched the whole ground floor but couldn’t find my dad. So, I had no choice but to go up the stairs. In the pitch-black house, the only light came from my mobile. As I reached the second floor, I suddenly heard my dad’s voice..."

As she said this, Jiang Lan turned to look at Jiang Han.

"I remember it very clearly, Dad said at that time, ’I’m here.’"

Here...

Now?

Was there someone in this room?

"After I went up to the second floor, I eventually found Dad in one of the rooms. At that time, he was standing up straight, lifted his head, and looked ahead, continuing to say, ’This time, who is it?’"

Upon hearing this, Dai Lin immediately asked, "Do you mean... Mr. Jiang was talking to thin air?"

In a sleepwalking state, Jiang Han inexplicably acquired a set of keys, entered a strange room, and then...

Was he talking to himself in an empty room?

If this had happened several days ago, Dai Lin’s first reaction would definitely have been that this was a serious case of sleepwalking, which required treatment from a neurologist. But now... it was completely different.

One thing was certain... those who had not experienced supernatural phenomena would not be able to enter Hospital 444. So, this could not possibly be just sleepwalking.

At this point, Jiang Han’s expression became quite unnatural. He reached for the teacup, took another sip, and his other hand clenched and then relaxed in a noticeably awkward manner.

"What happened... after that?"

"What happened next... was the most bizarre and terrifying part of the entire experience," Jiang Lan leaned back and said: "After my father said ’So, who is it,’ he just stood there, silent for a very long time, as if, really listening to something. After a while, he started to speak. It was then that I took out my phone and recorded a video."

She took out her phone, played the video, and placed it in front of Dai Lin.

Dai Lin immediately looked at it.

In the video, it was a very dimly lit room.

He saw Jiang Han standing up straight, and his posture... looked exactly like that of a soldier standing guard.

When Dai Lin had first seen Jiang Han, he noticed that he had a rather pronounced hunchback, showing some thoracic kyphosis, with a severe neck forward tilt. However, in this video, his posture did not have a single flaw that even the most stringent military training officer could find fault with.

Then, the camera panned to the area directly in front of Jiang Han.

There, just as Jiang Lan had said, there was nothing, only some very simple furniture, an empty cabinet, and a chair.

That was it.

There was definitely no space for a person to hide.

The room was dark, but not to the extent that a person could be there without being clearly visible.

Suddenly, at that moment, Dai Lin thought of something, he lifted his hand as if to support his head but covered his right eye and closed it.

At the same time, he hit the pause button on the video and slowly widened his left eye a bit more.

In this manner, after staring for around five seconds, his left eye relayed a piece of information to him.

However... it detected nothing!

This result, instead, made Dai Lin feel uneasy!
