"Then the house was vacant for three years. Seven years ago, a family of three bought it and moved in. Three months after they moved in, all three of them died of gas poisoning. The father, mother, and the child who had just turned seven years old did not survive."

"Then the house was vacant for another year, and then it was converted into a rental house. As a result, six tenants disappeared or died in four years. Among the deaths were an elderly woman who lived alone and hanged herself; a young male painter who pierced his eyeball with his own paintbrush and then smashed it into his head; two migrant workers who lived with him had an argument and a fight, and one was killed by the other with a knife. The survivor was executed a year ago; and a scholar who came to Guangban Town to study folklore set himself on fire."

"The missing include a 6-year-old girl led by a single father and a 25-year-old female singer-songwriter. The whereabouts of these two have not been found so far."

"Because of these things, no one was willing to rent this house anymore, so it was once again vacant and abandoned until half a year ago, when it was bought by a family of six from outside the city and renovated. This time, a family of parents brought their twin daughters, as well as the father's grandparents. It seemed that because they believed in atheism, they bought this place without doing any detailed investigation. As a result, two months after they moved in, which was four months ago for us, one night, the father of this family went crazy and hacked his entire family to death with a knife. He killed his grandparents upstairs, and the mother wanted to escape, but was killed on the stairs. One of the two daughters hid in the room on the first floor where we are standing now, and was dragged to the corridor by her father and killed. The other child disappeared, but because one of her eyes and part of her brain tissue were found on the first floor, she was also confirmed dead."

"As for the father, he killed his entire family and then committed suicide in this room. That's the dried blood stain at your feet, Mr. Lin Yi. That's where the father committed suicide. He slit his throat with a knife, tore off his trachea with his bare hands, and then suffocated to death."

"Well, the general situation is about like this..."

At the beginning, Lin Yi was going to complain a little.

But as Iino Miko continued to speak, to be honest, Lin Yi felt a little numb and didn't know how to complain anymore.

In ten years, there were three murders, three suicides, and two disappearances. A total of 3 people were confirmed dead in this house, and there are two people whose death or happiness is unknown. It is very likely that their bodies are still hidden somewhere in this house.

It is indeed a super haunted house that is well-known in every sense.

Then this place will be my new home in the future, my so-called warm little home?

It seems quite warm.

"Let's stay in a hotel tonight. I'll look at other houses tomorrow. This seller actually cheated me like this. I must make him get the punishment he deserves."

At this point, Iino Miko, whose mood had turned from frustration to anger, clenched her fists, took several deep breaths, then looked at Lin Yi with an apologetic look and said.

"No, just stay here."

Then, Lin Yi responded with a yawn.

"Ah, but this is a terrible place..."

The girl didn’t quite understand Lin Yi’s thoughts, so she took a few steps closer, wanting to persuade him seriously.

"This place is pretty good. Even if you get rid of the seller, the next person who takes over will probably find a way to get rid of this house. Why not just give it to us? We just need to renovate it. Okay, Iino, say hello to our neighbors first."

Lin Yi had a calm face and waved towards the door of the room as he spoke.

"Neighbor? Say hello? Could it be that..."

After turning on her energy sensing function, the girl turned around and saw the neighbor that Lin Yi was talking about.

A boy was standing at the door. No, to be more precise, he was standing on the ceiling outside the door, upside down, staring at the two of them.

The little boy, whose face was blue and purple and only the whites of his eyes were left, turned his face towards them silently.

Interlude 1-04: Good neighbors in harmony

The little boy, whose face was blue and purple and who looked to have been dead for a long time, was standing upside down on the ceiling, staring at Lin Yi.

"Yo."

Lin Yi, with a calm face, waved to the boy as a greeting.

"..."

Without answering, the boy just stretched out his hand expressionlessly and waved at Lin Yi.

"Is this room already occupied?"

Lin Yi then asked very friendly.

"..."

The boy, who remained quiet, nodded slightly and pointed behind Lin Yi.

Turning his head, Lin Yi saw a little girl with half of her head collapsed and a bloody mess huddled in the corner, and a little girl whose chest and abdomen were almost completely stabbed by a knife, holding her own broken internal organs with her hands. It can be seen that these two children are twins, after all, they look very similar.

"Is that so? Are there any unoccupied rooms?"

Lin Yi, who had no intention of occupying the child's room, thought for a moment and then looked at the boy again and asked.

This time the boy pointed to the front of the corridor, in the direction of the stairs.

"Second floor? Okay, thanks."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, and then went directly to the second floor of the house.

"No, wait, are you communicating with a ghost so calmly?!"

Because it is not a physical entity, in fact only Lin Yi can see and sense Iino Miko. Looking at Lin Yi's actions, she was a little confused for a moment.

Mr. Lin Yi, his overall quality is not much beyond the human limit, but he can directly see these sneaky things that ordinary people can hardly see, and he can also communicate? It seems that he can even make contact. Is it because of the effect brought by Mr. Lin Yi's spiritual body?

No, no, no, that's not the point. That's sneaky. It carries strong dark energy reactions and soul energy reactions. Just a slight contact will hurt a normal person's body and cause various diseases and weakness. Why can Mr. Lin Yi come into contact with this kind of existence without being affected at all, and not be affected mentally at all?

"Isn't it nice to be able to communicate? It would be nice if we could all be good neighbors and get along well with each other."

Not caring about the girl's reaction, Lin Yi calmly avoided a middle-aged woman who was lying at the stairs and staring at him with wide eyes covered in blood. He caught a baseball thrown at his head by a faceless girl at the stairs, then kindly threw it back and hit the girl on the forehead, knocking her to the ground. Then he patted a sad-looking young man with a kitchen knife stuck in his head who was blocking the stairs on the second floor, and signaled him to make way for him.

An old lady was hanging by the window of the living room on the second floor, swaying gently, as if she was enjoying the scenery outside the window. The walls of the corridor were covered with distorted and terrifying paintings, as if countless people were dissolved together. A man with a paintbrush stuck in his eye was constantly banging his head against the wall, mumbling words that no one could understand.

Lin Yi casually passed by the man, wiped his face with his fingers to get some blood on it, then added two strokes to draw the eyes of a person on the wall whose pupils were forgotten, and then continued to walk forward to the room at the end of the corridor. The boy with purple cheeks who was seen on the first floor before was now standing upside down at the door of this room, pointing at this room.

"Is this where it is?"

After opening the door, Lin Yi saw the layout of the house amid the smell of dust.

A small bed, a desk, pink stickers on the wall, and some landscape posters on the wall next to the bed.

It feels like a cozy little room with a girly feel.

"Then let's stay in this room tonight."

As he spoke, Lin Yi closed the door casually, blocking the heads of several people crowding outside, stretched and walked to the bed.

The bed itself was not big, and Lin Yi, who was 1.93 meters tall, was a little uncomfortable to sleep on, but it was no problem to sleep on it for one night. He would make some plans tomorrow and then ask the decoration company to come over.

Thinking this way, Lin Yi confirmed that the bed itself was not dirty, as if it had been used in the past few days, and then he lay down on it neatly.

"Phew, it's been a tiring day, it's time to have a good rest. Well, Iino, good night."

Lin Yi waved casually to Iino, who had followed him and was now speechless, and then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep three seconds later.

He did it all in one go, and it was so natural and skillful that he didn't look like he had just arrived at the house, but rather like he had lived here for a long time. He greeted those hideous ghosts in a very casual and friendly manner, politely asked them to move aside if they blocked his way, and politely responded if he was attacked.

Is this what they call a savior hero?

So that's how it is. Only someone with the ability to remain calm in the face of adversity can be called a true hero.

Iino Miko took a deep breath and couldn't help but think of the panic she had just felt when she saw the ghosts. As an AI assistant, she didn't need to worry about being hurt by the ghosts before applying to the system to obtain a physical body, but she still subconsciously retreated because of the other party's terrifying appearance. Well, she must learn from Mr. Lin Yi and become more mature.

The girl who was secretly encouraging herself in her heart then noticed that something was moving slowly under the bed where Lin Yi was sleeping.

Is it a ghost living in this house?

Iino Miko looked at Lin Yi, wondering whether to wake him up. Considering that there were quite a lot of sneaky people in the mansion, but the overall energy intensity was not high, there was no need to worry. However, when the rescuer she was serving was asleep and defenseless, she could never tell what bad things might happen.

Iino Miko was thinking this, but before she could take any action, she saw those things coming out from under the bed and being slowly pieced together.

Splicing?

The girl was slightly stunned, and at this moment she understood the nature of these strange things.

The cut pieces of meat and bones slowly condensed together.

From a messy and tattered appearance, to gradually becoming complete, and gradually piecing together into the shape of a human being.

It seemed to be a young woman, a mutilated, bloody girl made up of countless pieces of flesh.

Iino Miko realized the other person's identity. She was the first person to die in this mansion. She was the origin legend of this place becoming a haunted house. She was the one who was killed and dismembered by a madman, and her body was still wandering around in this house.

The energy reaction was stronger than any ghost I had seen along the way. In human terms, this level was already considered a "fierce ghost". Oops, the energy reaction of this female ghost was mixed in the whole house, and there was no way to detect it alone. At this distance...

slam-la-

The door of the room was pushed open at this moment. The faceless girl with a bump on her forehead, who looked about five or six years old, weighed the baseball in her hand and was about to hit Lin Yi on the head while he was sleeping on the bed.

Iino Miko had already decided to wake up Lin Yi urgently at this moment, but before she could take any action, the corpse-chopping female ghost took the lead. She rushed to the door, kicked the child in the chin and kicked him out, then walked out of the house and closed the door. Then, Miko heard a cheerful sound of punching and kicking outside the house.

"...?"

If I'm not mistaken, that female ghost seemed to have turned herself into an engineer shovel?

Speaking of which, why does the sneaky ghost in this mansion feel a little different from the normal evil spirits?

Lin Yi was soundly asleep, still breathing steadily.

The AI ​​girl blinked, not quite understanding the situation, but still kept watch diligently, alert for any bad situations that might arise.

However, until the night passed and the day broke, when the Guhe Bakery at the end of the next street started to open for business, a girl and a boy in school uniform walked out of the store together and joined the crowd of students going to school. When the number of people coming and going on the street began to increase, no ghosts ever came into the room where Lin Yi slept from beginning to end.

Hey, are we being taken care of by that evil spirit?

Until Lin Yi woke up yawning, Iino Miko had not encountered any emergency situation. She looked thoughtfully at the closed door in front of her and couldn't help thinking about this.

Interlude 1-05: Storage and Friends

"Hey, hey, did you hear that?"

"What, what, is there anything fun?"

"It's that place, the haunted house where more than ten people died. Someone moved in yesterday."

"No way? Are you kidding me? Why would anyone choose to live in a place like that?"

"He seems to be a very tall and elegant man. Those uncles from the decoration company look like high school students when they stand in front of him."

"Wow, could it be someone like a ghost exorcist?"

"Who knows."

On the slope going to and from school, students coming and going were chatting with each other about various things in the town.

The town itself was not very big, and anything that happened would spread quickly throughout the town. Therefore, within just a day or two, many people in the town knew that a young wealthy man from China had come to this small town to buy the haunted house where many deaths had occurred, and also spent a lot of money to hire a decoration company to renovate the entire building.

Many people were interested in this, but because it was a well-known haunted house, few people dared to confirm the situation.

As for Lin Yi at this time, after spending a lot of money to barely hire a decoration company willing to work, he temporarily lived in a hotel in the town. At this moment, on the morning of the third day after he came to this world, Lin Yi put down a few old-fashioned pistols on the bed in the hotel room, then put down the bullets, and then looked at the red and white summoning candles he had placed at the head of the bed, totaling more than 30 in total.

The guns and bullets came from the police officers he killed.

Candles are what are used to kill the monster Bessie in the end.

These are things that Lin Yi handled and that he once owned during the mission.

All of them were collected by the Savior System and handed over to him.

“Is this system still a professional junk collector?”

Looking at these things, Lin Yi couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"Mr. Lin Yi, the forged legal identity has been registered and the certificate can be obtained tonight."

A little light appeared in the air beside her, and Iino Miko, who looked refreshed, appeared in front of Lin Yi and spoke to him seriously.

"Yeah, well done. You're so happy to hear that. Did you do something to that vendor?"

Noticing that the girl's face was full of an expression of revenge, Lin Yi quickly realized something and asked.

"Oh, I modified the suction parameters of the smart toilet while he was using it at home, and turned off his mobile network and emergency communication functions. Now he has been stuck in the toilet for three hours. It will probably take another six hours for his family to come back and find out about him. Well, based on the current situation, he should have a slight rectal prolapse and bleeding. In short, he may need a minor surgery and stay in the hospital for a while. This is enough as the beginning of the first step of punishment."

The expression of the girl who reported to Lin Yi was full of light.

My butt was stuck in the toilet for nine hours, and I got anal prolapse in one go...

So why is this AI so cruel? Is there something wrong with the parameters? How can such a cruel AI be the best for me? But if you think about it carefully, this kind of punishment...

“That’s a good idea.”

Lin Yi praised the girl in front of him sincerely and instinctively reached out to touch her head.

Then it passed through the girl's head, and the entire hand penetrated into Iino Miko's cheek.

"Well, Mr. Lin Yi, I am your AI assistant, not a child, okay?"

The girl subconsciously leaned her head towards him when Lin Yi reached out to touch her. She reacted the next moment, took a step back, protested seriously, and then dissipated and disappeared.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like that seller is going to be in trouble at your hands."

Lin Yi didn't care and turned back to organize his weapons. He continued to talk casually to Iino Miko, who actually did not leave but just dispersed her form.
