Chapter 55: Turning Him Into a Ghost

The storage room was at the innermost part of the first floor. When Bai Lin and the others arrived, the door was closed and locked. The door was rundown, and it did not look like it was in the same house as the living room or the bedrooms. It looked like it could be kicked open with just one kick.
Since Bai Shao had been played like a monkey by Bai Lin before this, he deliberately rushed forward to show off his strength. “Let me do it!”
Bai Lin did not fight with him and moved to the side.
Bai Shao deliberately made a pose and kicked the door, then became the first one to enter the storeroom. However, he quickly came out and covered his mouth with a wince as if he was about to vomit.
Bai Lin teased him. “What’s the matter, Bai Shao?”
Bai Shao waved his hand. He did not want to recall what had just happened and weakly waved at Bai Lin. “Nothing. You’ll know when you go in and take a look.” Bai Lin put her hands in her pockets and walked in unhurriedly.
Bai Shao did not hear Bai Lin’s cry from the outside and felt a little strange. After mentally preparing himself, he followed at back of the group.
The narrow and cramped storage room was filled with an unpleasant moldy smell. The insects that had been trampled to death burst and made the floor sticky to walk on since it got mixed with the dust on the ground,
The light was aimed at the floor, revealing a pile of skulls to everyone.
Lin Sen was shocked. “It wasn’t like this when I came earlier.”
There were stationary creatures like maggots in the empty eye sockets of the skulls. Bai Lin picked one up, mashed it with her fingers, and sniffed it. She was a little disappointed when she said, “It’s a prop with syrup inside.”
The audience was dumbfounded.
[No wait, why is Bai Lin so calm?]
[I almost peed my pants when I saw the skeletons. My Lin-jie is amazing. She even dares to squat down and observe them.]
[The props team has some skills. If you don’t look carefully, you really won’t be able to tell that it’s fake.]
[The setting here is so strange. The basement should be here, right?]
[I’m so worried and anxious. Why is Bai Lin still so slow? There’s only three minutes left to kill. How can she still have the mood to study the props on the floor?]
Bai Lin could not see the comments. Even if she did, she would not care.
The storeroom was very small, fitting only two people maximum. With Bai Lin’s suggestion, everyone agreed to let her search the room.
Although Bai Shao was still disgruntled, he had to swallow it. He really could not stand the smell and strange environment inside.
Almost a minute had passed when Bai Shao heard a creaking sound from the storeroom. He immediately asked nervously, “How is it? Is it opened?” No one answered.
Bai Shao’s voice grew louder. “Bai Lin? Are you mute? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
The people in the kitchen also heard Bai Shao’s call. They had finished searching. There was a secret door under the counter, but the door was locked. A key was needed as the lock could not be broken by force.
Other than that, there were no other clues, so they came to the door of the storage room.
Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo entered the storage room without any fear.
On the floor filled with skeletons, a hole large enough for one person to pass through appeared. Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo looked at each other. Zhou Guang stepped aside to let Yan Ruo enter.
The hollow space was eerie and had a musty smell. Bai Xi knew that these were all fake and was not too afraid.
Her gaze swept over Zhou Guang who was preparing to go inside and she walked in as well, pretending to have accidentally tripped over the threshold and fall on him.
Zhou Guang subconsciously caught her and pushed her away instantly. He patted the place where Bai Xi had touched him with a frown but was too lazy to care about her and continued what he was doing only for Yan Ruo’s voice that came from below to stop him.
“Don’t come down yet. The place is too small. This isn’t the basement. I only found the key,” he said.
Hence, Zhou Guang went back and shone his flashlight inside.
The interior was indeed narrow and cramped. The walls could be seen at a glance with broken jars and other things in the corners, making it even more crowded.
Zhou Guang’s expression was a little panicky. “Where’s my sister? Where’s my cute little sister?”
“Bai Lin went down first.” Fan Feng’s eyes widened. “The four of us saw her go down!”
Suddenly, no one spoke in the room. It was so quiet that it was creepy.
“Could it be that Bai Lin… got killed by the ghost?” Fan Feng trembled as he made this deduction.
Everyone looked at the time. As they had expected!
Lin Sen pushed up his glasses and retorted, “Impossible. Even if she was killed, she shouldn’t have disappeared completely.”
Could there really be a ghost?
Everyone shivered in unison.
Yan Ruo crawled out of the space with a frown. “The one who was killed should be Bai Lin.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “We’ll talk about this later. There are too few clues. I’ve got the key to the basement in the kitchen. Let’s go and take a look.”
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked toward the kitchen, not waiting for the group’s reaction.
The others were bewildered, but they still decided to follow Yan Ruo to the basement for a look.
The audience in comments section went speechless.
[Yan-ge is indeed the best actor. With his acting skills, I really can’t tell that he’s been turned into a ghost by Bai Lin..]
