Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

"Wenjie? You're off work so early today?"

The newcomer was a slender young man with slicked-back hair and wearing a suit.

But he wore that suit with such an air of ugliness that it was immediately obvious he was either an insurance salesman or a real estate agent.

The other party was Shen Wenjie, one of Shen Qingzhou's good friends.

The children who come out of the Giraffe Welfare Home basically only have two surnames: Song and Shen. The surname Song is naturally taken from the director, while Shen is the surname of Song's husband.

However, Shen Wenjie doesn't actually need to have the surname Shen, because he was already eight years old when he was sent to the orphanage and already had his own name and surname. He asked to change his surname himself.

The reason for this is that this guy is also a bitter one. To put it simply, his mother was having an affair, which his father found out about. In the end, his father stabbed his mother to death and ran away.

Leaving him behind was a miserable experience; neither his grandfather nor his uncle cared for him. He was disliked by both sides and no one wanted to take care of him.

In the end, they had no choice but to send him to the Giraffe Welfare Home to be cared for by Grandma Song.

It was Chang Shengli who brought him in, and it was also Chang Shengli who brought his father in.

Shen Wenjie placed the large bag he was carrying on the table. Noticing another bag on the table, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who just came by?"

Uncle Chang.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenjie simply gave a nonchalant "oh".

Although Chang Shengli arrested his father, he did not hate Chang Shengli. In fact, he was even grateful to him. After all, without Chang Shengli's arrangements for him, he didn't know what kind of life he would have lived.

But it seemed strange to be grateful to someone who had captured his father. In short, his feelings for Chang Shengli were complicated and awkward.

However, none of this concerns Shen Qingzhou.

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious. You bought such a big bag of things, you must want something from me. Tell me, what is it?"

Shen Wenjie didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I recently took over a house with some problems and I'd like you to take a look."

"There's a problem? What kind of problem?" Shen Qingzhou became interested.

He enjoys dealing with houses like these the most; it's like a treasure hunt for him.

"The first homeowner...his wife cheated on him, and when they were caught, she was stabbed to death inside the house..."

Before Shen Wenjie could finish speaking, he noticed Shen Qingzhou's strange look and said somewhat angrily, "It's not my old house."

"Oh, why are you explaining all this to me? Go on," Shen Qingzhou said.

Shen Wenjie glared at him irritably and continued, "He not only killed his wife, but also dismembered her. In the end, for some unknown reason, he committed suicide. That house became a haunted house, and it changed owners several times in succession..."

"But after each homeowner moved in, their homes all experienced some problems, more or less. The second homeowner's son, who was in junior high school, committed suicide in the house only six months after he moved in..."

"The third homeowner was an elderly couple. They sold their original large house, used most of the proceeds as a down payment for their son's new house, and bought this cheap haunted house with the rest. Both of them were educated people and didn't believe in these things. Plus, they were old and didn't care about these things. But who knew that only three months after they moved in, the couple would pass away one after the other..."

"The fourth person, who is now the owner, bought the house because it was cheap. He doesn't live there usually, but he goes there occasionally to get some goods. However, recently, the owner, who was originally in good health, fell seriously ill and almost didn't make it. He finally got scared and listed the house with our shop, asking us to help him sell it..."

"So I'd like to ask you for help," Shen Wenjie said.

Shen Qingzhou didn't believe that Shen Wenjie was only looking for him to sell the house.

He's just an employee; whether he sells his products or not is none of his business. It's not worth his time to put in this much effort.

"So you want to buy that house?" Shen Qingzhou asked.

"Hehe~, I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Shen Wenjie chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

"That house is not only in a great location, but the renovation is also quite nice. Of course, the most important thing is that the price is cheap. It's really a steal right now. If Tianqing and I chip in, we can buy it directly and save ourselves from having to rent a place outside..."

The "sky" that Shen Wenjie mentioned is named Song Tianqing. Like Shen Qingzhou, she grew up in an orphanage and now works full-time as a food delivery driver, also a lowly laborer.

In fact, few children who come out of welfare homes are successful. They are mostly at the bottom of society. Being able to eat their fill, stay warm, and have a place to live is already considered quite successful.

Since Shen Wenjie had said so, Shen Qingzhou naturally wouldn't refuse.

"When are you free? I'll go with you, or you can tell me the address and I can go by myself."

"How about tomorrow morning? I'll go with you then," Shen Wenjie said immediately.

"No problem, I don't have anything to do tomorrow morning anyway."

"Thank you, but do you need me to prepare anything? I'll pay for it."

"No need, I can go myself. I can do the work, why would I need all that nonsense?"

"Look how smug you are. But is that thing really that ferocious? We're all human in life, so why do we become so powerful after death? If that's true, we might as well all just die. What's the point of living?"

Shen Wenjie was genuinely curious, but even with a friend like Shen Qingzhou, he didn't know much about ghosts.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. There's a saying, 'Your environment shapes your temperament.' What does that mean? It means that your living environment can change a person's character..."

"Why is this? It's simply because a comfortable environment brings about a change in one's mindset, thus fundamentally altering one's character. But what constitutes a comfortable environment? That probably varies from person to person. In scientific terms, it's about magnetic fields being compatible..."

"Everything in the world has a magnetic field, and humans are no exception, nor are ghosts. Essentially, a ghost is a magnetic field with strong emotions. The greater and more extreme the ghost's emotional fluctuations, the faster the magnetic field changes, generating a wave that spreads outward, somewhat like electromagnetic radiation, thus affecting those around it..."

"Ghosts themselves cannot interfere with reality; they are like beings from another dimension, invisible and intangible, but they can influence the surrounding environment and the people around them through their own magnetic field..."

Shen Qingzhou's explanation was so simple and easy to understand that Shen Wenjie understood it instantly, and he even felt that ghosts weren't so scary after all.

Shen Qingzhou guessed what he was thinking, but didn't discourage him.

There are fierce, crazy, and insane people... and ghosts are naturally there too. When ordinary people encounter those ghosts, they should run as far away as possible.

After all, brainwaves are waves, and if they match, they can kill a person in no time.
