Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Can You Do It_1

Once in the car, Yang Kai, sitting next to you, kept staring at the digital watch on your wrist without looking away. He didn’t ask, and you didn’t say anything.

After a long while, Liao Yong slapped Yang Kai on the shoulder from the other side and asked, "Little Kai, what are you looking at? You’ve been eyeing Old Shu nonstop, and he’s no beauty. Have your tastes changed?"

Yang Kai shook his hand and said, "You don’t understand, I’m looking at a treasure here."

Having said that, Yang Kai finally turned to you and asked, "Hey, Old Shu, this little gadget of yours has been quiet these past few days. It didn’t get water in it and break while you were showering, did it?"

"That won’t happen. I’ve just been resting recently and didn’t turn it on," you turned your head to look at Yang Kai and asked, "Little Kai, you’re so interested, are you thinking of joining?"

"Me?" Yang Kai pointed to himself and said with a smile, "I don’t have your abilities, just looking through a curiosity shop window, that’s all."

While talking, Yang Kai’s phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and said, "Hello, Zongzi, has your military training ended too?... Yeah... That’s good to hear!"

Yang Kai’s words shifted the attention of the other three roommates towards him.

"Yeah, right, he’s right beside me, I’ll pass the phone to him." Handing the phone to you, Yang Kai continued, "Zongzi said the owner of that haunted house is in a rush to go abroad and wants us to meet them by no later than six o’clock tonight, otherwise they won’t rent it out to us."

That reminded you of the haunted house Zong Wangyue had mentioned before.

You took the phone: "Zongzi, it’s me."

Zong Wangyue’s voice came through the phone, "Boss, can you go today?"

Without a second thought, you immediately replied, "I’ll go."

"We have a banquet tonight, Jin Qi and I both can’t make it, so we have to trouble you guys."

"No worries, we’re all brothers here. Why bother with formalities? Rest assured, as soon as we get to school, we’ll go find the landlord. By the way, where’s the address of that house?"

"Boss, hold on, I’ll ask Jin Qi," Zong Wangyue’s voice got quieter, "Jin Qi, what’s the address of the haunted house?"

Then, Jin Qi’s feeble voice came through the phone, "No. 72, Baojia Street."

Afterwards, Jin Qi also gave the landlord’s mobile number, which you had Yang Kai note down.

After hanging up, you dialed the landlord’s number using the one provided by Jin Qi, and soon an adult male voice came through the speaker, "Hello, who’s this?"

"Hello, are you the landlord of No. 72, Baojia Street?"

"Yes, I am."

"I’m Li Muyun, the president of the Jiangzhe University Supernatural Investigation Club. My club members Zong Wangyue and Jin Qi had previously contacted you."

"Oh, I know. Where are you right now?"

"We’ve just left the training camp, and it’ll take us about an hour by car to reach Yuhang."

The landlord paused for a moment before asking, "Can you make it before six? If not, I’m not renting out the house."

"You can count on us. We’ll surely make it!"

"Alright then, call me when you’ve arrived," the landlord said before hanging up.

"Psh, acting all high and mighty; it’s just a haunted house. Does he really think he’s some kind of tycoon?" Yang Kai huffed from the side.

Wei Shuxian and a girl were sitting in front of you. At that moment, he turned around, leaned on the back of his seat, and asked, "Old Shu, why does he insist on us getting there before six o’clock?"

After some thought, you said, "With the current situation, by six o’clock, the sun will start to go down. Once the sun sets, the yin energy begins to thicken, and that’s when those things start to roam."

Wei Shuxian furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "Does that mean it really is a haunted house?"

"Yes, he has no reason to deceive us, as that would be of no benefit to them. On the contrary, his eagerness to rent out the house indicates that firstly, he hopes we can deal with whatever’s inside, and secondly, once we move in, the lease term gives them a perfect excuse to raise the rent or rent it to someone else."

Wei Shuxian snorted coldly, "So that’s the so-called killing two birds with one stone. These people are really cunning."

"That’s how most people are; you get used to it after seeing it enough times."

You smiled faintly, and at that moment, the girl next to Wei Shuxian couldn’t help but turn around to look at you and asked, "Hey, is that haunted house you’re talking about for real?"

As soon as the girl spoke, Yang Kai, like a cat that smelled fish, immediately moved closer, "Beauty, are you interested? Why not join us? I promise you’ll have so much fun tonight that you won’t want to leave."

"Sure, I’ll go."

"No," the girl had barely spoken when you firmly refused.

"Old Shu, come on, help me out. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her; she won’t trouble you," Yang Kai turned to you and gave you a revolting flirty wink.

"Tch," you frowned and said, "We’re not going there to play. I haven’t been to that place either, and I’m not sure what could be hiding inside. If something happens..."

"Come on, you’re so powerful, what are you afraid of? Don’t worry, it’s probably just some stuff to scare people. You’ll deal with them in no time," Yang Kai argued, clearly trying hard to impress the girl.

You sighed softly and, in the end, you reluctantly agreed.

Around five-thirty in the afternoon, the five of you hurried to No. 72, Baojia Street without even stopping for dinner.

Speaking of Baojia Street, it was quite unique—a district with old-style architecture, not far from your school, just about a ten-minute walk away.

When you found No. 72, Baojia Street, your brows were already furrowed as you stood at the doorway.

No. 72, Baojia Street was a detached villa, surrounded by several similar buildings. However, in comparison, it appeared more secluded and much older.

Yang Kai called the landlord, and about ten minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit stepped out of a Mercedes-Benz E-Class car.

"Just you guys?"

The landlord was visibly surprised to see just a few young people.

"What, do we need more people just to look at a house?" Yang Kai asked confusedly.

"Didn’t I tell you before? There’s something unclean in this house. That fat guy said you had a great Heavenly Master in your team, which is why I agreed to rent the house to you. If it’s just a few kids like you, then I’m not willing to rent it."

The middle-aged man turned to walk away, but you quickly walked up beside him and said, "Sir, the Heavenly Master my friend mentioned is probably me."

"You?"

The middle-aged man looked you up and down, questioning, "Are you sure you can do it?"
