To her surprise, with a creak, the door of the storage room opened directly.
At this moment, it was noon, the brightest time of the day with the most abundant Yang energy. However, the storage room in front of her was pitch-black. It seemed to house some kind of monstrous creature that swallowed all the light from the corridor, leaving only a vague, enormous shadow at the entrance.
A chilling sensation slowly emanated from the storage room, as if it wanted to seep into Lu Miao’s muscles through her skin.
In just a few seconds, the hairs on her arms stood on end.
Narrowing her eyes, Lu Miao noticed two green dots suddenly appearing on the large shadow, resembling a pair of eyes that slowly opened, staring intently at her from the darkness.
Calmly, she stepped forward and pressed the switch by the entrance. Bright light instantly illuminated the entire storage room.
After a few squeaks, a gray shadow suddenly dashed into the piles of stuff.
It was a rat.
Lu Miao entered the storage room, which still retained the layout of a restroom.
The toilet, shower, and sink were all there, covered in thick layers of dust from disuse.
It was clear that it was initially used as a restroom.
Various boxes and odds and ends were piled up around the walls, along with an unused piano and a covered painting stand. It seemed like there was an unfinished painting inside.
The shadow she saw outside should have been caused by this.
Other than that, there was nothing special, and nothing unclean.
Lu Miao looked around, walked over to the painting stand, and was about to lift the cover to take a look.
“Master.”
Mr Hai and his wife hurriedly came upstairs, looking somewhat stunned when they saw that the storage room had been opened.
“The lock was broken. I twisted it and it opened,” Lu Miao explained.
Madam Hai nodded, “Oh, it’s possible that no one has come in and out for too long, and no one has checked the lock. Master, is there anything wrong with this storage room?”
“I haven’t found anything wrong for now,” Lu Miao shook her head, “But I want to ask, why did you stop using this restroom?”
Madam Hails face turned pale, “Master, is… is the crying coming from this storage room?”
“No, I just find it a bit strange, so I asked,” Lu Miao replied.
Only then did Madam Hai feel relieved. She awkwardly brushed her hair behind her ear and said, “It’s nothing. Each room in the house has its own restroom. This public restroom was of no use. With all the odds and ends in the house, we needed an extra storage space, so we turned it into a storage room.” “Oh,” Lu Miao nodded and walked out of the storage room.
Mr Hai and Madam Hai followed behind.
Madam Hai looked around in horror and lowered her voice.” Master, did you find out where the voice came from?’”‘
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden splash in the storeroom behind her. It sounded like water was flowing through the toilet bowl.
However, there was clearly no one in the storeroom, and the toilet bowl would not press on its own.
Madam Hai screamed and hid behind Mr. Hai.
Mr Hai was so scared that he took a few steps back. Lu Miao turned around and went back to the storeroom. She turned on the lights and walked to the toilet bowl. She lifted the lid to take a look.
The water inside was still slightly rippling.
Mr Hai and Madam Hai were so scared that they didn’t even dare to enter the door. They watched from afar.” Master, what happened just now?”
Lu Miao looked at the row of small footprints on the toilet bowl and said,” It’s just a mouse. It stepped on the toilet water button.’”‘
Only then did the two of them heave a sigh of relief.
Lu Miao turned around. When she was about to leave, she lifted the white cloth covering the easel.
A half-finished oil painting was revealed. On the painting was the profile of a woman in a red dress.
Her long black hair fell behind her as she leaned against the window and looked forward.
Her facial features were exquisite, and her beautiful eyes curved into two crescent moons. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.
Only her head and the dress on her body were painted in color. The rest of the painting only had simple lines.
A few English letters were written on the lower right corner of the oil painting.
Lu Miao reached out and touched the painting. Judging from the color changes of the canvas and the paint, this painting should have been there for a long time.
“Did you guys draw this?”
“It’s my son. He majored in this in university.”Mr Hai replied.
“Where is he now?”
Mr Hai glanced at Mrs. Hai beside him.” Uh, he went overseas to study.”” Lu Miao turned to look at him.” Who’s in the painting?”
Mr. Hai was about to say something when Madam Hai, who was beside him, replied first,” Maybe he found a model from his classmate or somewhere else.
We’re not too sure either. ‘”‘
Lu Miao nodded. After looking around carefully, they went downstairs together.
Mr Hai and Madam Hai followed closely behind her.” Master, what’s with the crying?
Lu Miao raised her eyelids and looked at them indifferently.” Mr Hai, Mrs. Hai, did anything happen at home before these voices?””
“No, Master. Since you can’t find the problem, why don’t you do a ritual at home first?”CEO Hai raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
“No need.”
Lu Miao took out two talismans from her pocket and handed them to them.”
Wear this on your body. I’ll come to you guys tonight. ‘”‘
The two of them quickly reached out to take it. Madam Hai hesitated and said,” Master, we…” We have to come too?”
“Yes, I have to come.” Lu Miao replied meaningfully.
After the two of them asked for the time, they could only grit their teeth and agree.
After returning from the Hai family, Lu Miao turned on her computer and searched for MES.H. These were the letters she saw under the oil painting.
There was a lot of information, most of which were advertisements and some nonsense.
Lu Miao searched for a long time but did not find anything useful.
After thinking about it, he searched for news about Jing Corporation and the Hai family. There was a family portrait of the Hai family on the Internet.
Mr. and Mrs. Hai only had one son, and he looked handsome in the photo.
The introduction of him on the Internet was very simple. Other than saying that he did not choose to inherit the family business but chose the art path, there was no other introduction.
She rubbed her chin. The Hai couple were obviously lying. At least, Madam Hai wasn’t telling the truth about the painting.
Mr Hai didn’t care what the problem was. He only asked for the ritual.
The information on the Internet was also strange. It was obvious that it had been deliberately deleted.
The phone rang. Lu Miao took out her phone and answered the call. It was Gu Ziheng. He said that he needed her to go over in advance to get a styling and familiarize herself with the process. He had already arranged for a car to pick her up..
