Selling haunted house

“Uh,” the Eyeglasses Man stammered in reply, “Our film crew specializes in horror films. So we’re looking for a scene that looks a bit scary, and we haven’t found a suitable one yet.”

“Making horror films?” Lin Yuan fell into thought upon hearing this.

The next second, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked enlightened: “I’ve got it! I really do have a house that’s perfect for a horror film.”

“Really?” The Eyeglasses Man was also a bit surprised and quickly said with a smile, “Then wait a moment, I’ll call the Director.”

After speaking, he walked out of the restaurant to make the call.

In less than a few minutes, he returned with a smile on his face: “Good news, the Director is very interested. It’s just a bit urgent now, he wants to go see the house immediately, I wonder if it’s convenient for you.”

There’s even this request?

He couldn't be more eager!

Lin Yuan immediately nodded with a smile: “No problem, I’ll have the boss send the keys over.”

“Alright!”

While waiting, the Eyeglasses Man sent his family home and stayed behind as an intermediary.

In less than twenty minutes, the boss arrived first, cheerfully handing over the keys, his face looking as if it were blooming. Without much extra talk, he gave the keys and left.

The Eyeglasses Man watched, utterly bewildered, and asked doubtfully, “Why is your boss so happy? Did he win the lottery?”

Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly and simply brushed him off.

In reality, the boss truly felt like he had won the lottery.

In his opinion, any house Lin Yuan promoted would surely sell.

If it were any other house, he would at most be happy, but not to this extent.

The main reason was that the house Lin Yuan was going to promote to the Client was the most troublesome haunted house from before!

With over a dozen spirit rings, it simply couldn't be sold.

It was a detached villa, its price slashed to rock bottom, yet no one even came to look at it.

Not only because it was a haunted house, but also largely due to its geographical location.

This villa was different from ordinary villas in the city; it cost tens of millions just to build it, not including other renovation costs, with the total cost exceeding 20 million.

The reason it was unique was that it was built at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by desolation.

However, that didn’t mean the location was bad; on the contrary, this location was part of a National Park, surrounded by a Big Lake, and the ecological conditions were rated 5A.

Lin Yuan also couldn't understand how he got approval to build it; logically, wasn't this kind of place not allowed for private luxury homes?

Originally, before the incident, the environment was elegant and the house was beautiful. Everyone who passed by would cast envious glances, fantasizing about how wonderful it would be to stay there for a night.

However, due to a tragic massacre years ago, the original owner of the house was directly removed from the household registry.

Although the killer was caught quickly, no one dared to buy the house.

The house was filled with blood and dismembered remains; the entire scene was unbearable. Even the people who cleaned it afterward were driven to a breakdown by the disgusting environment inside.

Because from time to time, bones could be swept out from some corner, and red liquid would occasionally flow from the faucet.

Some brave outdoor adventure streamers, for the sake of traffic, climbed over the wall late at night to livestream, and as a result, they really did encounter ghosts several times, scaring them so much that they never dared to come back.

In addition, there was a cemetery on the back mountain, where many people died in gold mining operations in earlier years.

For a time, rumors spread everywhere that this place was haunted, and that the owner of the house had died with grievances and could not reincarnate until a scapegoat was found.

Under various public opinions, this house had become a taboo.

The person who inherited the house was the original owner's nephew, who planned to sell it for money, no matter the price. He could even accept two or three million, as leaving it there was a waste anyway.

Unfortunately, the idea was good, but reality was harsh.

During that time, some people did inquire about the price of the house and were attracted by the cheap price.

But after they heard the news about the house, they were all scared to death, even refusing to take back their deposit and breaking the contract.

For ordinary people, such a house was simply not fit for living.

But for a film crew making horror movies, it was simply a natural filming location.

After waiting a while longer, a Porsche pulled up in front of the restaurant.

Immediately, a man in his thirties, dressed very fashionably, got out of the car.

The Eyeglasses Man quickly stepped forward with a smile to greet him: “Lin Yuan, let me introduce you, this is Director Yu from our film crew. Director Yu, this is the real estate agent I told you about, Lin Yuan!”

Upon hearing the introduction, Director Yu's expression immediately changed to one of surprise, his eyes widening as he looked at Lin Yuan, involuntarily exclaiming, “You are Lin Yuan, that real estate agent?!”

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded: “Hello, Director Yu!”

The Eyeglasses Man asked in surprise, “Director Yu, do you know him?”

Director Yu replied with a look of astonishment, “You don’t know him? But then again, you’ve been busy with your child lately, so it’s normal not to know him.”

“Lin Yuan is a big celebrity in West Sea City! I really didn’t expect the agent you introduced to me to be him. If I had known it was him, I would never have come empty-handed.”

Seeing Director Yu's excited expression, the Eyeglasses Man was stunned.

He only knew that Lin Yuan had helped his family a great deal, but he never expected Lin Yuan to be so famous that even Director Yu was so polite.

What’s going on? Isn’t he just a real estate agent?

Are real estate agents this amazing these days?

Although he didn't understand, he knew it wasn't the time to figure it out. He gave an awkward smile: “I was truly ignorant. Since you two know each other, that makes things easier. Shall we go see the house now?”

“Alright!” Director Yu immediately nodded in agreement.

Lin Yuan also smiled and nodded.

With that, the group headed to the villa, but the Eyeglasses Man did not follow. Considering his child had just been found, and there must be a lot of things waiting for him at home, Lin Yuan persuaded him to go back.

When Director Yu heard that the Eyeglasses Man's child had been found, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

On the way, he was like a curious baby, constantly chatting with Lin Yuan.

He even invited Lin Yuan to play the male lead in their movie, or at least make a cameo appearance if that wasn't possible.

Lin Yuan was helpless and could only drive while dealing with the awkward conversation.

The car gradually moved away from the city, and the scenery outside the window slowly became desolate and dark.

The streetlights on the roadside were occasionally broken, flickering on and off, adding a few more eerie touches to the atmosphere inside the car.

Because the area around the villa was completely uninhabited, the road was naturally very narrow, and there were no streetlights at all.

If it weren't for the navigation and high beams, they wouldn't have known how to get there.

It took about an hour of driving to reach the main gate of the villa.

It was already close to 9 PM.

After getting out of the car, the group pulled out their phones, turned on their flashlights, and looked around.

Everywhere were lush green plants, and in front of them stood a white four-story villa, which appeared even more eerie and terrifying under the moonlight at night.

The exterior of the villa was a large courtyard, with high walls that prevented any view of the inside.

At the main entrance of the courtyard, a massive iron gate was tightly closed, as if telling passersby to keep out.

Due to long-term neglect, the concrete ground was covered with fallen leaves and weeds.

Walking on it felt soft underfoot, and a rustling sound echoed, sounding like a monster chewing.

Seeing such a scene, such an atmosphere, the Photographer was scared stiff on the spot.

He clung to Lin Yuan, trembling uncontrollably: “Brother, this place looks too creepy, doesn’t it?”

In contrast, Director Yu had a look of surprise, unconsciously exclaiming, “Good place, what a good place! This feeling is perfect. Lin Yuan, I’m curious, why does this house look a bit eerie and terrifying?”

Lin Yuan smiled faintly: “Uh, actually… over a dozen people died here, a whole family was wiped out!”

“Holy crap!!” Hearing this, the Photographer jumped up in fright, his face filled with terror.

“Brother, don’t scare me, over a dozen people died? This, this, this is a haunted house?”

Director Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly urged, “I’ve been looking for a house like this, and I didn’t expect to actually find one. What are we waiting for? Let’s go in and take a look.”

“Alright!” Lin Yuan walked ahead with his phone, pulled out a large bunch of keys from his pocket, found the iron gate key, and inserted it.

Perhaps because it hadn't been opened for a long time, combined with sun and rain exposure, the large lock had rusted.

Lin Yuan struggled for a long time to open it.

As soon as the iron gate was opened, a cold wind instantly blew out.

Whoosh~~

The wind created a whooshing sound, and the group felt a chill on their faces.

The fallen leaves on the ground were also blown about, scattering everywhere.

This scene, let alone the Photographer, even the netizens in the live stream couldn't handle it.

[Popularity] +1+1+1+1

— [Holy crap! This feeling is too scary, I don't even dare to look down. I always feel like there's something dirty in this house.]

— [I don't understand why the owner wanted a white color scheme. At night, with the moonlight, it's eerie and terrifying. I'm getting goosebumps all over.]

— [I feel like I'm not watching Lin Yuan sell a house, but rather on an outdoor adventure. Although it's scary, it's all just psychological. There are no ghosts in this world, we just scare ourselves.]

— [Some things can't be explained. Once is a coincidence or an accident, but what if it happens several times? Anyway, I definitely wouldn't buy this house. I wouldn't dare to live in it even if it were given to me.]

The Photographer was already trembling with fear, and though very unwilling, he could only brace himself and follow behind.

The courtyard was very large, with many potted plants and trees, some still alive, some already dead.

The ground, similar to the outside, was already covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and even the fish pond was thickly covered with leaves, making it unclear if there was still water underneath.

Lin Yuan walked to the main entrance of the villa by moonlight, and once again pulled out his keys.

Accompanied by a click~~

The lock was opened.

Immediately after, a piercing creaking sound rang out.

Lin Yuan pulled open the main door, as if opening the gate of a medieval castle, revealing a spacious hall and furniture.

Since it was too dark inside the house, Lin Yuan had to use his flashlight to find the switch.

Click~~

The lights overhead flickered for a moment, then slowly turned on.

The scene inside the house was completely revealed.

It could only be described as chaotic.

Everywhere was thick dust, furniture lay scattered haphazardly on the floor, many pieces already broken.

There were also many barbecue coals, household trash, and all sorts of other things.

It was obvious that before they arrived, this place had already been visited by countless people.

Lin Yuan glanced towards the window; there was no glass left, it had long been smashed.

Faint footprints could still be seen on the ground.

Just then, the Photographer seemed to see something and let out a cry of surprise, his hand trembling as he pointed to the wall ahead.

Lin Yuan followed his gaze and involuntarily gasped, even Director Yu, who often filmed horror movies, widened his eyes in shock.

On the wall, written crookedly in what looked like blood or paint, were several large characters: “No Entry for the Living, Consequences at Your Own Risk!!”
