The house holds other secrets as well.

Robb opened the door to the basement.

Looking at the stairs that went down into darkness, Robb frowned slightly.

He smelled the breath of hell.

It seemed that the capture of the three ghosts in the house just now caused some changes here.

Otherwise, with Robb's keen sense, he should have noticed something was wrong when he entered the house.

After all, he had dealt with hell several times and was very familiar with it.

But only when he opened the basement door did he notice something was wrong.

Something weird.

Robb looked into the darkness below ground, his mind on high alert.

……

Jess is from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada 1".

……

Chapter 282 The Gap between the World and Hell

"Jess, what's in the basement?" Robb, who was standing at the door, didn't rush down, but asked Jess beside him.

Jess glanced down, thought quickly, and answered, "It's just some cardboard boxes, forks, hoes and other miscellaneous items, as well as discarded items left by the previous owner."

Robb asked again, "Has anything unusual happened in the basement?"

"I don't go to the basement very often. My dad goes there often, but I haven't heard him say anything unusual." Jess shook her head. "The only thing that's unusual is that this door is difficult to open. The first time I came here, I tried for a long time but couldn't open it."

Robb glanced at the door handle that had just been easily turned, and didn't care much.

It was most likely a prank by the three ghosts.

Normally, it is not that easy for ordinary ghosts to harm people. After all, if they really appear and fight, ordinary people will not be able to defeat them under the stimulation, and the probability of successfully escaping is still quite high.

Usually they persecute people in a covert and indirect way, or by constantly harassing them, causing them to panic and collapse their mental defenses, thus achieving the purpose of possession.

But this will take time and be gradual.

From the time Jess couldn't open the door at first to the time she got scratches on her arms, she was already halfway through the process.

But before they could draw their nets, Robb caught them first.

"Follow me, or stay outside."

Robb gave the girl a choice, then turned on the lights in the basement and walked down the stairs.

Jess looked around and saw that it was empty, so she chose to follow Robb.

Squeak~squeak~

With heavy footsteps, the old wooden ladder made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

Walking down, Robb, who could now see the entire basement, lowered his head and looked around.

As Jess said, this is just an ordinary basement with a lot of miscellaneous items.

呲~

A soft sound.

The lights in the basement flickered and went out.

"The light bulb is broken?" Jess looked at the dim basement and was about to pick up her cell phone to light it up.

Bang!

She was startled by a sudden loud noise from behind.

She quickly looked back and saw that the basement door was suddenly closed for some reason.

"Robb!"

Before, Jess might have thought that someone closed the door or the wind blew. But now, she looked at Robb nervously.

And Robb, as always, reassured her.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

This little trick can't scare him.

What he didn't expect was that the other party was so anxious.

tread.

The moment Robb's legs touched the soil in the basement.

As if it has a strong attraction.

A gurgling sound suddenly sounded in the basement.

"Stay on the stairs and don't come down." Robb turned around and warned Jess.

Jess quickly retracted her raised leg and did as she was told.

The next second, her face changed and she exclaimed: "Robb! Watch your step!"

Robb looked down.

Accompanied by increasingly loud gurgling sounds.

The originally flat land seemed to be spitting out bubbles, with dirt and black water bubbling out.

In just two or three breaths, the extremely dirty black water suddenly grew larger, and with the sound of rushing water, it flooded the entire basement floor.

The soles of Robb's shoes were immediately soaked.

The black water was about to seep up to his ankles.

Don't wait for his reaction.

Bang! Seep! Bang! Bang!

The waves are splashing!

Pale hands impatiently reached out from under the black water, grabbed Robb's legs, and were about to pull him under.

Seeing this, Jess reached out to grab Robb.

Robb waved her off.

Jess didn't understand.

But soon, she discovered a reality.

That is, no matter how hard the countless hands in the black water tried, Robb remained motionless.

If she looked more closely, she would see that the pale hands seemed to be grabbing Robb's legs, but in fact they didn't even touch Robb's trouser legs.

A thin but unbreakable invisible membrane was wrapping around Robb's legs.

Not only could the pale hand not get close to him, but the black water under his feet was also kept out.

"I see."

Robb, who was currently floating in the air, had his eyes flashing with silver light as he carefully looked at everything under his feet.

The breath of hell that I felt before was emitted by this sudden black water.

This is so because Black Water is essentially hellish.

Yes, hell!

Hell has appeared in the myths of every human civilization.

Of course it exists.

Robb had dealt with many of the indigenous people there.

Generally speaking, hell and the human world coexist, but that does not mean that the two can complement each other.

Especially hell leads to the human world.

But nothing is absolute.

No matter how solid a house is, cracks will appear after hundreds of years of wind and rain.

The same is true for hell and the world.

Although it is far from being able to enter and exit smoothly.

The large and small cracks that split the world into hell can have a significant effect.

For example, the demon summoning ritual has a higher success rate.

For example, after death, people become ghosts and remain in the human world.

Jess's house is where one of these cracks is.

And the crack is very big.

Looking at the black water under his feet, Robb knew that it was a projection of the black water in hell and not a real entity.

Even so, it's amazing enough.

At least among the supernatural cases Robb had dealt with before, some of the supernatural places were not closer to hell than this place.

Being here, you are more vulnerable to the invasion of hell's forces.

In addition, because it is close to hell, people who die here can basically be directly transformed into ghosts.

Just like the previous owners of this house, the family of three that Robb had just subdued.

Fortunately, this place is remote and few people are willing to stay here.

Otherwise, it will become a famous murderous haunted house.

Robb knew that Redemption was part of the reason why he was asked to handle this.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to stop him.

At this moment, watching the black water with the breath of hell pile up higher and higher, Robb, who had fallen into hell, felt that he would most likely be assimilated if he continued to stay there, so he first called Jess to go upstairs.

Then, as the girl looked worried, he opened his arms, flipped his palms, and pressed down.

A tremendous spiritual force surges out.

Phantom sounds, ghostly shadows, screams, and roars broke out at this moment.

As the earth shook, Robb used his own strength to force the black water to shrink continuously.

No matter how the latter roared and struggled, the water level dropped rapidly, visibly to the naked eye.

Jess, who saw this, went from being nervous at first to being surprised and shocked.

She looked at Robb, who was like a holy spirit, in the center of the black water vortex.

In the past, she would never have believed that a single person could be so powerful.

After all, this is unscientific, isn't it?

Chapter 283 Underground Corridor

The black water surged angrily.

But no matter how it struggled, under the strength of Robb alone, the tentacles that stretched out to the human world had to retreat again and again, so that the water level that originally submerged the entire basement continued to drop.

When only a layer of black dirt remained on the ground, Robb's eyes suddenly turned and focused on the ground several meters away, which had already revealed its original appearance.

There, a tattered doll was lying.

Robb has a good memory.

He remembered that before the strange thing happened in the basement, there should be nothing in this place.
