Chapter 848: Chapter 848: The Kan Family Brothers Again

Seeing no reaction around you, you became a little worried.

"Clang clang... clang clang..."

At that moment, a series of sounds of iron chains striking the ground echoed forth, followed by a fog rising all around.

Within the mist, two figures slowly emerged. When these two figures appeared, the middle-aged man’s family visibly flinched; they clearly hadn’t expected them to arrive so quickly.

These two people, one holding an iron chain, the other holding... huh? Is that a tablet computer?

Even more bizarre, they were actually dressed in suits and ties!

And the man with the tablet computer, wearing a smile, made a slight bow and his voice easily reached all your ears: "Master Li, long time no see."

Yes, they were the Kan Family Brothers, Kan Zihuang and Kan Zihui!

"You... do you know me?"

You were quite surprised that the Ghost Constables knew you.

Kan Zihui paused, and then laughed: "Sorry, I forgot that the master has amnesia."

Just as you were about to ask a question, Kan Zihui no longer paid any attention to you. He picked up the tablet computer, effortlessly swiped the screen, and immediately reported the names of the family of five. He then added, "You should thank Master Li. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid your entire family would have become the puppets of others, ultimately to be refined."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately asked, "Ghost Constable, sir, what... what exactly is going on? Why is my son—"

Kan Zihui gestured with his hand and the middle-aged man’s throat seemed to seal up, preventing him from speaking.

Kan Zihui then said, "These old and trivial matters of yours, you can take them to the Yan Mansion and discuss them with the Judge."

With that, Kan Zihuang’s iron chain gave a slight flick, and the family of five turned into a mere afterimage and were swiftly absorbed into the Soul Locking Chain.

At last, Kan Zihui bowed to you and said, "Master Li, we brothers are now transferred to serve under the East Sea City God. We hope for Master Li’s continued care in the future."

You had not expected the Ghost Constables to be so polite to you, and you hastily returned the courtesy, exchanging a few words of pleasantries.

"With that, we brothers will take our leave."

Saying this, the Kan Family Brothers turned and vanished into the fog. Once the fog had dissipated, everything around became silent once more.

But even though the middle-aged man’s family had been taken away by the Ghost Constable, the eerie aura of Ghost Mansion number 37 had not dissipated one bit; in fact, it seemed to grow denser.

"Brother Yun, do you feel the air around us getting colder?"

Nodding, you pointed at the storage room in front and said, "It must have something to do with the stuff inside."

"Inside? Could there be something else in this storage room?"

Xu Hai swallowed nervously.

"Don’t know, but we need to go down and check it out in any case."

With that, you quickly walked inside.

"It’s really cold in here," said Xu Hai as he shivered upon entering the storage room.

Indeed, the storage room was dark and cold, much like the fierce winter of December.

By the light of his cellphone flashlight, Xu Hai illuminated the interior. The room spanned around twenty square meters and was empty except for five strange objects placed at the center.

Shining the flashlight, you discovered that these five items were a doll, a wooden handgun model, a book, a pair of glasses, and a hair comb.

These five items had one thing in common: they were all stained with fresh blood.

They were arranged in a circle with a compass placed in the center—the kind commonly used by feng shui masters.

"These items look pretty ominous," Xu Hai said after a careful look, then turned to you, "Could these be the personal belongings of those five people?"

"Mhm," you nodded. "It seems so. Perhaps, that’s why, even after the family of five was taken away by the Ghost Constable, the Ghost House still feels so chilling."

"Since that’s the case, let’s clean them up quickly. I’ll call someone to come and renovate tomorrow."

"No, wait a minute." As you saw Xu Hai about to kick the doll aside, you hurriedly stopped him. "This Array might still be useful to us."

"Useful?" Xu Hai looked puzzled. "How so?"

Instead of explaining, you were prepared to show him through action.

At that moment, you stretched out your finger, only to find that the wound you had bitten earlier had already healed. With no choice, you bit again fiercely, dripping your own blood onto each of the five objects!

Immediately afterward, five beams of blood light flickered into existence and swiftly entered the compass. The Compass suddenly began spinning at high speed, and concurrently, you and Xu Hai heard the sound of "gulp, gulp" as if water was churning.

"Where’s that water sound coming from?"

Xu Hai hastily questioned.

But as he looked around for the source of the noise, he turned back only to find that the outer door of the storage room had been filled with a great deal of fresh blood!

"Damn it, this thing’s still here!?"

Seeing Xu Hai’s panicked expression, you gave a slight smile, waved your hand, and the blood receded as swiftly as it had appeared, swiftly flowing back into the old well.

"What... what’s going on?"

You smiled and said, "It’s a secret."

At that time, in the office of a tall building in Eastern Sea City, an attractive woman was leaning back half-sitting on an office desk, her blouse undone. A man was leaning over her.

Just then, a compass inside the crystal cabinet behind them suddenly made a "crack" sound and shattered into pieces.

"Ah!"

The woman let out a sudden cry as the man bit her fiercely.

The two intertwined figures stopped their movements due to this disturbance. The man frowned, looking at the broken compass which was beyond repair. After a moment, he picked up his cellphone and dialed a number.

Soon, a playful male voice came through the phone’s speaker: "Yo, Director Zhang, with your temperament, you should be indulging yourself with some secretary or actress, right? Why bother thinking of me, the poor soul?"

"Little Liu, the Roulette that Master set up has broken."

"Broken?" the other party paused, then his tone grew grave, "How did it break?"

"I’m not quite sure, it just shattered suddenly."

"That’s a big problem. That Roulette was personally set up by Master and it’s extremely important to both me and you."

"I understand that, which is why I called you." The man paused and asked, "What do we do now?"

"Well, there’s nothing else to do but for your poor friend to have a personal look," the other party sighed lightly. "By the way, don’t mention this to the Saintess for now. She’s in seclusion. Let’s wait till she comes out to discuss this."

"Alright, be careful. Someone who can break Master’s Roulette isn’t going to be easy to deal with."

"Mhm."
