I Am a Fierce Ghost, How Could I Possibly Submit to Living Under Others - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Mental Breakdown

***

“Oh my goodness!”

Liu Haoyu didn’t expect this hanged woman would give him such a kick.

He also didn’t expect that his first injury upon arriving at this house would actually be a physical attack.

What’s worse was that this kick was neither light nor heavy, directly knocking him to the ground.

By the time Liu Haoyu got up, the woman who had been hanging before his eyes had vanished without a trace.

He rubbed his slightly aching nose and said.

“Tch, it’s just an illusion, if you don’t want to be seen then fine, but why resort to physical violence.”

That hanging woman was naturally not the fierce ghost’s true form, it was merely something like an illusion created by the other party.

The women Liu Haoyu encountered in the room on the first night were also illusions created by this fierce ghost.

But although these things were illusions, if the other party wanted to kill someone, they were terrifying entities that could directly end someone’s life.

However, now that the other party had withdrawn the illusion, his clothes were also left hanging here undamaged.

This matter should be considered over.

Liu Haoyu pulled open the curtains, looked at the rising sun outside, and decided not to collect the clothes, just letting them hang there.

A ghost helping to hang clothes, probably few would believe it if told.

Hopefully next time it could help hang up the quilts.

It was just regrettable that he hadn’t figured out what secrets were hidden in this house after searching all night.

Now that it was daytime, it would be very difficult to investigate anything, so Liu Haoyu could only give up for now.

As for the basement that he couldn’t find after searching all night, perhaps he could ask Old Wang, who should have the structural plans of this house.

Liu Haoyu returned to his room, took his work tools with him, and then walked out of this haunted house.

——————

Liu Haoyu arrived at the sales office but didn’t find Old Wang, so he asked a young sales lady.

“Hello, is Manager Wang not here?”

Hearing Liu Haoyu’s inquiry, the saleswoman’s expression changed, and even with her professional demeanor, she seemed frightened and stepped back.

But even so, she still said with a very forced smile.

“Manager Wang had a car accident when he came back last night, he’s now in the Third People’s Hospital.”

Hearing this news, Liu Haoyu’s face became serious, so he asked.

“Which ward? I’ll go visit him.”

“Number XXX.”

After getting the saleswoman’s answer, Liu Haoyu then headed to the Third People’s Hospital.

After asking several doctors, Liu Haoyu finally found Old Wang’s ward.

A nurse was standing at the door, chatting with a doctor.

Seeing this, Liu Haoyu approached and asked the two.

“Excuse me, is this Wang Faqiang’s ward?”

“Yes.”

“I’m his friend, and also his client, may I go in to see him?”

“Alright,” the doctor nodded, then added: “But the patient’s condition is a bit strange, please don’t stimulate him.”

“Understood.”

After getting permission, Liu Haoyu pushed open the door and entered the ward.

As soon as he entered, a very pungent and strong smell of disinfectant hit him.

There was only one bed in the room, and Old Wang was on it.

Liu Haoyu walked to the bedside and looked at this man over fifty years old.

At this time, he was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, and wasn’t sleeping, just staring wide-eyed at the ceiling, not saying a word even when he saw Liu Haoyu come in.

His appearance looked extremely bizarre and creepy.

“Old Wang, are you asleep?”

“Ghost… ghost…”

In response to Liu Haoyu’s inquiry, Old Wang still stared with eyes like brass bells, constantly mumbling one word.

Ghost.

Looking at his darkened glabella, Liu Haoyu felt helpless.

This Old Wang had run away too quickly at that time, without hearing the second half of what he was going to say.

Looking at it now, he must have encountered evil spirits.

He had suffered an extremely heavy psychological blow, and could even be said to be on the verge of breakdown.

“Knock knock knock.”

As Liu Haoyu was about to check Old Wang’s condition, there came a knocking sound from outside the door.

After the door opened, two police officers walked in, they looked at Old Wang, then at Liu Haoyu, then took out their notebooks and pens, and said.

“Are you Mr. Liu Haoyu?”

“Yes.”

“Last night this person named Wang Faqiang took you and some furniture to the suburbs, right?”

“Yes.”

After asking some simple questions, the police officer put down his notebook and pen, and said.

“My name is Li Rongjun, police number XXXXXX. It’s like this, last night at 7 PM, this Mr. Wang Faqiang had a car accident on the XX rural road while returning to the city area, the car went straight off a cliff,

Fortunately, villagers below the cliff discovered and reported it in time, so he was rescued, but for some reason, after he regained consciousness, he became like this,

Mr. Liu Haoyu, do you have any clues?”

Hearing Li Rongjun’s inquiry, Liu Haoyu naturally truthfully answered where he was at the time.

But because only Old Wang and himself were present at the time, Liu Haoyu also understood that in this situation, it wasn’t wrong for the police to be suspicious of him.

“I commissioned Old Wang to help me transport some furniture at that time, there should be records of our transaction at the sales office.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Li Rongjun nodded.

According to the scene, the car was empty at the time, with no furniture, and the accident site was 15 kilometers away from the house where Liu Haoyu was staying, that road had almost no cars at night, so from this simple judgment, it should be a car accident.

But the problem was that Wang Faqiang’s mental state was too creepy.

And according to the doctor’s examination, his head hadn’t suffered any impact, so what exactly had made him become like this?

It was precisely because he couldn’t figure it out that Li Rongjun had sought out Liu Haoyu.

However, from what could be seen so far, this would be temporarily treated as an accidental car accident.

“Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Liu. If there are any subsequent discoveries, please contact us immediately.”

The two police officers left, and Liu Haoyu again turned his attention to Wang Faqiang.

If he wanted to get the structural plans of that haunted house, he could only ask him clearly.

Other people, including those at the sales office, didn’t know what that house was really like.

And while Liu Haoyu was pondering, Old Wang’s hand suddenly reached out from under the blanket, like pliers, tightly gripping Liu Haoyu’s wrist.

The force was so strong that it made Liu Haoyu’s wrist hurt.

His eyeballs, which seemed about to pop out, stared straight at Liu Haoyu.

After staring for a full three seconds, he finally spoke.

“Ghost… in my car… there was a ghost.”
