Chapter 513: Boss, I’m Still Worried About Your Safety

After a series of supernatural incidents, the apartments were completely abandoned. Even the residents were unwilling to come back and live there. The apartments were put up for rental all year round, but no one was willing to rent them, not even for just 300 yuan a month.
So, it was indeed a wise decision for the black-robed man to choose to conduct joint cultivation with Zhen Xiaoqing there.
By the time Beitang Lie drove Chi Jiao to White Birch Apartments, the sky had already turned completely dark.
The cold wind blew under the night sky. The deserted apartment building was like a beast crouching in the darkness, opening its black jaws, just waiting to swallow the two of them.
Beitang Lie didn’t know if it was just his imagination. Since coming here, he felt that everything was dark and gloomy. The lawn in front of the apartment building was covered in dried yellow weeds. When the car rolled over them, they made a strange screeching sound as they rubbed against the tires.
Beitang Lie looked at the open door of the apartment building and pursed his lips. “Boss, I think we shouldn’t go in. I’m worried that you’ll be afraid.”
Seeing that he was serious, Chi Jiao comforted him calmly. “Don’t worry, you’re overthinking things. I’m not afraid.”
Beitang Lie was still hesitating. “I think we should call the headquarters and have them investigate the rental records first. This way, we might be able to find clues about that person’s identity.”
Chi Jiao looked at his behavior and had to admit that the power of fear was indeed terrifying. It forced Beitang Lie to think of a solution.
“I’ve already contacted the headquarters while you were driving. They said that they didn’t manage to find any rental information. That black-robed man occupied one of the rooms in the apartment illegally. Actually, the owner of apartment 514 is long gone. No one rented the place to the black-robed man.” As Chi Jiao spoke, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
Beitang Lie’s interest was piqued. He turned off the engine and got out of the car, then asked curiously, “What do you mean by that? Where’s the owner of apartment 514, then?”
“Dead. Back then, the first murder case in White Birch Apartments happened in 514. At that time, the owner killed his parents, his wife, and his twin children in the middle of the night with a knife. He then committed suicide with the same knife. So, there’s no one owning apartment 514 now. You can go into the apartment with me to investigate without any worries,” Chi Jiao said as she walked towards the apartment building with her school bag.
Beitang Lie’s face turned pale from fright.
No worries, his ass! He was so scared that he nearly peed his pants!
“If you’re really afraid, you can wait for me downstairs. But I heard that the souls of the children who died tragically in this apartment will come out in the middle of the night and play soccer with the people wandering around here. If you don’t believe that rumor, you can wait here alone.” After saying that, Chi Jiao walked into the door of the apartment.
Her description was really too vivid. Beitang Lie felt like a child was about to come looking for him to play soccer.
Therefore, without another word, he rushed straight towards Chi Jiao.
“Boss, I’m still very worried about your safety. Don’t worry, with me escorting you, you don’t have to be afraid of anything.” As Beitang Lie spoke, he straightened his neck and put on a righteous expression.
Chi Jiao casually acknowledged him and then asked him to take out his flashlight.
