(Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket and give it a try... Thank you all for your support...)
Xia Youren asked: "Are you a reporter from Oriental Daily?"

I originally thought I had met a pervert, but I didn't expect the other person to say these words.

Ma Xiaomi nodded and introduced himself: "I am the reporter of the supernatural column of Oriental Daily."

Xia Youren asked: "Then do you know Li Xiaoxiao?"

"Of course I know Sister Xiaoxiao, she is the special gold medal editor of our department."

Nodding, Ma Xiaomi showed a hint of surprise, "Do you know Sister Xiaoxiao too?"

An acquaintance of an acquaintance is naturally kind.

"I used to be a reporter."

Without hiding anything, Xia Youren said calmly: "She is my colleague at Asia Daily. She went to Oriental Daily some time ago, and she was in the supernatural column."

"Correct."

Ma Xiaomi nodded repeatedly, "Sister Xiao Xiao used to work at Asia Daily. She was recently hired by our editor-in-chief and is temporarily responsible for the daily work of the supernatural column."

With a common language, Ma Xiaomi also regarded Xia Youren as a friend. She looked at Ma Wenbiao and said, "Xia Daozhang, my eldest brother has been like this since his last stroke in a car accident. He always said he saw a woman in red. Sneered at him.”

After a pause, Ma Xiaomi said with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Daozhang Xia, do you know the reason?"

Xia Youren said directly: "Because your brother offended someone and was cursed."

"My brother has been cursed?"

Ma Xiaomi's eyes narrowed slightly and asked: "Who did it?"

Xia Youren shook his head, "I have to ask who your brother has offended. I don't know."

Ma Xiaomi came to his brother Ma Wenbiao in a few steps, with tears in his eyes, "My brother is a policeman and has offended too many people. I don't know who is so cruel!"

In that car accident, her sister-in-law died on the spot. Her brother suffered a stroke and his legs were disabled. He was only in his early 40s, but now he looks like an old man in his 80s or [-]s.

"It's...it's the wizard!"

Ma Wenbiao's cloudy eyes flashed with determination, and he said tremblingly: "I... I offended a wizard when I was on a mission in Thailand, and she cast a blood curse on me before she died!"

Five years ago, the Hong Kong Island and Thai police jointly investigated the case. As the head of the Hong Kong Island police, he went to Thailand to rescue abducted children. During this period, he had no choice but to shoot a witch.

The witch cursed him before he died, cursing his family to suffer a bad death and to cut off his descendants!
Although he was shocked when he heard it, he didn't take it seriously.

After all, as a police officer, he has dealt with many criminals and has heard all kinds of vicious curses.

But something happened to him when he came back from that mission.

First, he was in a car accident and his wife died on the spot. He also suffered a stroke and became disabled in both legs.

He had originally signed the document to be promoted to Chief Inspector, which also became the end of his police career.

After that, every midnight, he would always see a woman in red, sneering at her and mumbling something.

But he couldn't understand what the other person said at all.

He only knew that since the woman in red appeared, his health had been deteriorating day by day.

After telling the whole story intermittently, Ma Wenbiao looked at Xia Youren with hope.

He didn't expect to live, after all, he was already a disabled person.

But he also has a pair of lovely children, who are only nine years old this year, and he doesn't want anything to happen to them.

After listening to Ma Wenbiao's narration, Xia Youren gradually had the answer in his mind.

But he still lacks one piece of direct evidence, that is - photos.

Arriving at the door of the room that exuded a sinister aura, Xia Youren asked, "Ma Xiaomi, whose room is this?"

"this is my room."

Ma Xiaomi replied: "Daozhang Xia, what's wrong?"

Xia Youren asked, "Can I go in and have a look?"

Without hesitation, Ma Xiaomi nodded, "Daozhang Xia, you can read whatever you want."

Apart from some of her underwear, there was nothing shady in the room.

"Squeak~"

Gently pushing the door open, what he saw was the black underwear he had just changed out of lying on the bed.

Without stopping for a second, Xia Youren walked into the room slowly, his eyes locked directly on the pile of black films on the desk.

There is a camera next to it, as well as various developed photos.

Looking at the photos that continued to exude a sinister atmosphere, Xia Youren asked the woman behind him, "Where did you get these photos?"

"I took the photo yesterday."

Ma Xiaomi explained: "You also know that I am the supernatural columnist of Oriental Daily. I must collect some horror-themed photos in case of emergency."

Speaking of this, Ma Xiaomi added with some lingering fear: "It's so strange when these photos of mine are developed. There was a photo of a woman's death on the original mourning hall, and there were two golden boys and girls made of paper. But after I developed it, what was it?" nothing."

"I feel so horrible!"

Coming to the table, Ma Xiaomi asked curiously: "Daozhang Xia, are there really ghosts in this world?"

After confirming the answer in his mind, Xia Youren's face was no longer as rigid as before, "You took a photo of a shady person, so of course you can't see the person."

Ma Xiaomi's camera is not Yu Hui's soul-capturing camera. It has no soul-capturing effect, and of course it cannot capture ghosts.

Therefore, when these negatives are developed, they will not look like ghosts.

If he guessed correctly, what he was encountering now was a horror movie called "The Evil Dead".

Due to technical conditions, the storyline and atmosphere at the beginning of this movie were very good, but the final battle at the end was somewhat unsatisfactory.

He picked up a newspaper next to him. The date on it was today. The home page had a large section with a stinging two-line title - "Horrorful July, the ghost in the haunted house took away three lives."

I looked at the signatures below, Li Xiaoxiao and Ma Xiaomi.

A smile appeared on his face, which reminded him of the Chu Renmei incident that was also reported in this way when he first traveled through time.

Ma Xiaomi was puzzled, "Daozhang Xia, why are you laughing?"

"Li Xiaoxiao was my master when I joined the newspaper company."

Xia Youren sighed: "Seeing your joint signature reminds me of when I was in the newspaper office."

"Daozhang Xia, so you and Sister Xiao Xiao have such a good relationship?"

Ma Xiaomi rolled her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "How about I invite Sister Xiao Xiao out for dinner tonight?"

She could tell that the man in front of her had special feelings for Li Xiaoxiao, and she wanted him to help her elder brother for Li Xiaoxiao's sake.

"It's no use."

Xia Youren could tell what Ma Xiaomi was thinking at a glance, and refused directly without thinking, "I will help you solve the problem now."

The family in front of me has a disabled child and two children, and they don't have much money.

Even if he could scrape together a hundred and eighty thousand, he wouldn't like it, so he would simply be more generous and look for ways to make money elsewhere.

Immediately, Xia Youren picked up all the films on the table, went to the toilet, and burned them directly.

There is a mark left by a fierce ghost on it, and the evil spirit is continuously exuded through the mark on it, which is used to lower the fortune of those who are close to it.

The film was burned, and the evil spirit in the entire room became rootless, slowly dissipating under the corrosion of the sunlight outside.

"I can't break the blood curse on you, and even if I break it, you won't be able to live for a few days."

Coming to the living room, Xia Youren looked at Ma Wenbiao, "The blood curse has almost exhausted your energy and spirit."

"what!"

Ma Xiaomi exclaimed, "Daozhang Xia, please save my brother, no matter how much it costs, I am willing to do it."

"It's not about money."

Xia Youren shook his head, "The blood curse comes from your eldest brother's heart and is fed by energy and spirit. This is why your eldest brother is exhausted now."

"If it had been discovered earlier, there might have been a solution."

Having said this, Xia Youren shook his head, "But now, it's too late."

Ma Xiaomi couldn't accept it, "Is there really nothing my elder brother can do?"

Xia Youren said: "Although I can't save your eldest brother, I can avenge him and kill the witch."

"Mei, I'm fine."

Ma Wenbiao had already looked away, "It doesn't matter if I die, but that witch must die too!"

If he didn't have two children, he would have committed suicide long ago.

Living like this half-dead and hanging on for a breath, life really has no meaning.

Now that I know that my life is not long, it is a kind of relief.

Of course, his relief was to see the witch who harmed him die before him.

That witch is not dead, and even if he dies, he will not die with peace of mind.

Only if the witch is dead can his two children be safe.

Since the facts could not be changed, Ma Wenbiao, Ma Xiaomi, and Mark calmed down their emotions after being sad for a while.

Mark asked: "Daozhang Xia, do you need my help with anything?"

After looking at the time on his watch, Xia Youren asked, "Where is the owner of that villa now?"

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, so there's plenty of time.

"I know."

Ma Xiaomi rushed to say, "I went to her house yesterday afternoon."

Xia Youren immediately said: "You take me to her house first, and then we go to eliminate the witch."

Soon, a group of three people came to the home of Zhang Ni in the villa.

"Ding dong~" "Ding dong~"

Ma Xiaomi went up and rang the doorbell.

"pat~"

The door was opened, and a middle-aged woman in a white dress was revealed. With a hint of hostility in her eyes, she said in a stiff tone: "Reporter Ma, why are you here again?"

I don’t know why the other party suddenly changed his attitude. Yesterday he was fine. He spoke politely and well-informed.

Although she didn't know why, Ma Xiaomi quickly explained: "Ms. Zhang, we also want to know something about your mother-in-law."

Zhang Ni was a little impatient, "I've said what I should say, what else do you want to know?"

"Miss Zhang, that's it."

At this time, Xia Youren took the initiative and said, "I heard from Ma Xiaomi that you have a villa that you want to sell, so you plan to come over and see what's going on?"

There was a trace of hesitation in Zhang Ni's eyes, "Do you want to buy that villa?"

"how?"

Xia Youren flashed the Mercedes-Benz key and said, "Isn't it like that?"

Seeing the Mercedes-Benz key, Zhang Ni's attitude improved a lot, "Then you guys come in and talk."

With that said, she gave way.

The three of them entered the door. Xia Youren's sharp eyes saw the newspaper on the table at a glance.

The page directly above is the one written by Ma Xiaomi - "In July of Horror, a fierce ghost in the haunted house took away three lives."

Seeing this, Xia Youren also understood the real reason why Zhang Ni had a bad attitude.

Looking at the three of them, Zhang Ni asked: "Do you want tea or coffee?"

Now that she had let them in, with her temperament and cultivation, she would naturally treat them as guests, and she really couldn't keep a straight face and glared at them like before.

"Ms. Zhang, we won't drink anything."

Xia Youren said directly: "Let's talk quickly. Are you still planning to sell that villa?"

"It must be sold."

Zhang Ni glanced over the newspaper, with a hint of awe in her eyes.

"Then how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Xia Youren took the initiative forcefully, "If we can agree, we'll talk. If we can't, we'll leave."

Nodding, Zhang Ni tentatively gestured with a finger, "1000 million?"

Xia Youren smiled and shook his head, "Ms. Zhang, you really like to joke."

Zhang Ni swallowed softly, "My villa was originally worth more than 2000 million, but now it's very cheap to sell it for 1000 million."

"Ms. Zhang, you also know what is going on in your villa now."

Xia Youren spoke in a calm tone, "Three people died, and it's known to the whole Hong Kong. If you sell this house for 1000 million, I'm afraid it won't be sold for 100 years."

"Moreover, Hong Kong Island is about to return to the motherland, and its future is unclear. Other wealthy people are selling villas at low prices. No one even asks about a house like yours for 1000 million, let alone 500 million."

"Then how much did you say?"

Zhang Ni gritted her teeth gently and composed herself, "If it's too little, I might as well leave it there to rot. Anyway, I'm doing business in a beautiful country and I'm not short of money."

"It's not a question of how much I say now."

A mysterious smile appeared on Xia Youren's face, "Miss Zhang, you are about to be in disaster and you don't even know it."

"My catastrophe is imminent?"

Zhang Ni's eyes narrowed slightly and she forced herself to calm down, "Don't scare me, I'm not scared."

Xia Youren shook his head, "Miss Zhang, I heard that your husband and your father-in-law all died because of this villa, right?"

"Yes, I told Reporter Ma all this information."

Biting her lip lightly, Zhang Ni nodded, "She also published these news in the newspaper."

Her husband came back to clean the villa and was killed by a flower pot that fell from upstairs.

When his father-in-law heard the news of his son's tragic death, he quickly flew back, but the plane crashed and his body has not been found until now.

"Then let me tell you another news."

Xia Youren said lightly: "Your mother-in-law turned into a ghost after her death and stayed in that villa. She killed all three people, including your husband and your father-in-law."

"what!"

Zhang Ni couldn't help but exclaimed with disbelief on her face, "She... why... why did she do this? Then... those are her husband and son!"

"correct."

Xia Youren nodded, "You think she can let you go if she can even kill her husband and son?"

Zhang Ni remained silent, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

After giving the other party some time to think, Xia Youren continued: "Miss Zhang, have you figured it out?"

Nodding numbly, Zhang Ni asked: "Why did you come to me, for that villa?"

"This is just one of them."

Xia Youren said: "I can get rid of the evil spirit that your mother-in-law turned into and completely relieve you of the crisis. In return, you need to sell me the property at a low price."

He didn't lie. He could kill even his husband and son, but he left a daughter-in-law alive. Don't think she would be kind. There must be some conspiracy involved.

"Then how much did you say?"

Zhang Ni seemed to have fully understood the situation.
"Miss Zhang, I won't take advantage of you either."

Xia Youren held out three fingers and said, "One price, 300 million."

"Row."

Zhang Ni nodded in agreement without hesitation, "300 million is 300 million."

Although it was 600 million lower than her bottom line, she just wanted to throw this hot potato away quickly.

In the past few days, she kept dreaming of her mother-in-law sitting on the sofa, smiling at her, and telling her to hurry up and serve her.

"We will go to the real estate bureau to transfer the property now."

She did what she said, and Zhang Ni didn't waste any time, "I'll transfer the house to you, and I'll fly to the beautiful country right away and never come back again."

This is her sad place.

So the group hurried to the real estate bureau and quickly completed the transfer with the help of red envelopes.

After coming out of the Real Estate Bureau, Xia Youren didn't feel anything emotional.

Because it is impossible to sell the villa in a short time after buying it, so time must be allowed to slow down.

In other words, this villa can only be lived in by yourself.

However, although it cannot be cashed out immediately, it can be mortgaged to the bank.

Mortgage at [-]% of normal price.

But this requires connections.

In short, he will definitely not lose.

Watching Zhang Ni leave in the car, Ma Xiaomi couldn't help but ask: "Daozhang Xia, someone just died in that villa, are you not taboo about it?"

"What am I taboo about?"

Xia Youren smiled and said, "It may be unlucky for you to live in a house like this, but for me, there is no problem at all."

The haunted villa was a hot potato in other people's hands, but in his hands, it was a hot commodity.

Others are afraid, but he is not.

The more the better.

Of course, the main reason is that the villa is in a good location, close to Oxford Road and surrounded by universities.

The surrounding houses are mainly high-end flat-storey and low-density villas. They are all occupied by the middle and upper class of Hong Kong Island, and the atmosphere is relatively good.

So the prices of houses there have always been high.

The property under Zhang Ni's name was originally priced at over 2000 million, but now he bought it for only 300 million.

Of course, the main reason for the huge price difference is that three people died in the villa a few days ago.

Coupled with Ma Xiaomi's report in Oriental Daily - "Scary July, a fierce ghost in a haunted house took away three lives."

The news made headlines and became known to everyone in Hong Kong, which directly caused the valuation of the house to drop to the lowest point.

You said that a villa originally worth just over 2000 million has depreciated so much because of a piece of news. Can Zhang Ni give Ma Xiaomi a good look?

If you don't scold your mother directly, you already have good self-cultivation.

……

The three of them went straight to the Oxford Road villa without rest.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and Xia Youren didn't see anything unique.

But as soon as he entered, he felt an extremely powerful evil spirit gathering and lingering.

The entire villa, like the Tao Mansion, has been corroded by the evil spirit. Ordinary people will definitely die if they live there for three days.

But compared to the main body of the villa, the evil spirit is stronger in a small courtyard behind the villa.

Noticing Xia Youren's gaze, Ma Xiaomi explained: "That is the woman's mourning hall, and there is a coffin in it."
