Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 401: Chapter 399: The Room Filled with Taboos and Eerie Phenomena

Regarding Gu Xi’s question, Hundred Generations of You Sheng was also puzzled.

Encountering Gu Xi was a big challenge for this Hundred Generations of You Sheng.

No one had ever asked where the previous owner’s body was buried.

Seeing the look on Hundred Generations of You Sheng’s face, Gu Xi knew it was pointless to ask, so he changed the topic.

”Can we open the door and take a look inside?”

”Of course, please come in.”

Hundred Generations of You Sheng knew the situation was going his way as he quickly pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Xi looked inside from the main entrance and mumbled, ”Entering to see the stairs, exhausting to death.”

Hundred Generations of You Sheng heard a little bit, and he looked at Gu Xi with some confusion, ”What is the guest saying?”

”Nothing, let’s go inside and see. This house doesn’t have a courtyard, right? So what’s eerie about inside? What’s the taboo?”

”There is no courtyard; the space was taken up by both sides, and as for eerie taboos, please wait while I look for them.”

Hundred Generations of You Sheng hurriedly opened his briefcase and quickly searched through it.

Inside the briefcase were various details about the taboos of different houses.

Of course, since this house wasn’t particularly good, it was near the bottom.

During the wait, Gu Xi didn’t rush in but observed from outside the door.

Apart from the haunted situation of opening the door to see the stairs, this house had many other Feng Shui-destroying designs.

In Gu Xi’s view, the structure alone would lead to early death for anyone living here, even without spooky events.

Buying this place was like choosing a graveyard in advance.

And here, the so-called graveyards were real.

Gu Xi noticed that in the house’s basement, roof, beams, and pillars, there was a thick gathering of Yin Qi.

It was evident some previous owners had buried themselves in this house.

When Gu Xi was outside the door earlier, he already had a feeling, which was why he asked where the original owner was buried.

Now, with the door open and seeing everything inside, Gu Xi became even more certain.

Hundred Generations of You Sheng didn’t know Gu Xi’s thoughts, but after finding the taboo’s diagrams, he started introducing them to Gu Xi.

”This house has many eerie occurrences, so there are many taboos as well. The first owner’s taboo was that the fridge can’t contain cooked food, only vegetables and fruits, otherwise, by dawn, someone in the house will be frozen to death in the freezer.”

At this, Hundred Generations of You Sheng paused, ”The first owner was the Quanshe Family, who nurtured this eerie thing. It’s easy to handle; as long as prepared meals aren’t put into the fridge, there won’t be any problems.”

Gu Xi nodded, glancing at the place where the fridge should be, and his thoughts became simpler.

If there’s no fridge, won’t there be no eerie happenings?

”Later, the Quanshe Family provoked a powerful eerie presence in the park, whose taboo was not to throw food on the walls; otherwise, someone would become blood muck on the wall that night.”

Upon revealing this taboo, Hundred Generations of You Sheng glanced at Gu Xi.

This haunting presence seemed like a powerful one bent on killing; both these taboos resulted in death, so what could be done next?

Gu Xi wasn’t concerned about these; he examined each room and only turned back to speak to Hundred Generations of You Sheng when he paused, ”Continue.”

”Oh, the third eerie presence was one the Quanshe invited over after all their children died to combat the previous eerie presence. This eerie presence has three taboos corresponding to its three abilities. I’ll explain them now.”

Hundred Generations of You Sheng quickly recited the taboos.

As Gu Xi listened, he considered what he could do and couldn’t.

After Hundred Generations of You Sheng finished introducing the eight eerie taboo presences of the house, Gu Xi realized this house was nearly unusable. After purchasing it, not to mention living in it, even passing by required utmost care.

Which room couldn’t be opened and which thing couldn’t be used were the easiest to handle, mostly by sealing those rooms and removing items.

But forbidding anyone to stay awake at certain times was just a joke.

This wasn’t how the eerie wanted to play.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, ”If I buy this place, it should be legal for me to clear out the creepy stuff inside, right?”

”Clear out the eerie stuff in the house?”

Hundred Generations of You Sheng was stunned. He never thought anyone could clear out the eerie stuff in a house.

It’s widely accepted that people had grown accustomed to coexisting with eeriness, even inviting suitable eerie presences when building new houses. No one ever thought about expelling them.

So Hundred Generations of You Sheng genuinely hadn’t encountered this issue.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said, ”It’s legal; no one says a house must have eerie presences. However, if a house doesn’t have them, it can easily be invaded by other eerie presences.”

”No worries, I’ll handle it.”

Gu Xi spoke earnestly, ”Let it be this one. What procedures need to be done, or do I just need to pay?”

Listening to Gu Xi, Hundred Generations of You Sheng was completely stunned.

He hadn’t expected Gu Xi to choose the house so effortlessly.

Usually, when he introduced houses, it often took showing seven or eight properties, sometimes even picking the individuals for inside the house.

Such a situation had never occurred to him.

”What’s wrong? Is it impossible to proceed?”

”No, no, it’s not that, I can help you with it right now.”

When Gu Xi asked again, Hundred Generations of You Sheng came to his senses and quickly told Gu Xi.

”Please wait a moment, I’ll handle everything right away.”

Gu Xi nodded and began to explore the house inside.

After that moment, Gu Xi was already sure about the state of this two-story cottage.

The first floor of the cottage had three buried corpses and two sets of ashes; the second floor hid three corpses, and the attic should have another hidden corpse.

As for the basement, Gu Xi estimated there was also a Ghost already formed from someone buried there, accounting for over half the eerie taboos in the house.

This indicated that apart from the first owner, Quanshe, other owners’ deaths might have been intentionally caused by this presence.

However, in this world, dying from violating a taboo was quite normal.

Even the police didn’t want to intervene; no one knew whether the deceased violated the taboo deliberately or accidentally.

They had no way to reason with eerie presences.

Thus, they would simply record the incident and handle the bodies without much else.

But now, with this Ghost confronting Gu Xi, the situation was different. As Hundred Generations of You Sheng processed the paperwork, a smile appeared on Gu Xi’s face.
