The two of them decided to go to the third floor of the apartment again, trying to find the mad Mr. Xu and get more information from him.
When they arrived on the third floor, Mr. Xu was on the balcony, muttering incessantly with a crazy and deep gaze in his eyes.
Lin Xinhui walked into Mr. Xu's home cautiously. The furnishings inside appeared quite old, with mostly wooden furniture arranged neatly but carrying a heavy atmosphere.
A rocking chair in the corner of the room swayed back and forth, seemingly moved by either the wind or some other force.
Lin Xinhui softly called out, "Sir, we need to know more about this land, especially about Zhang Shufen. Do you know anything about her?"
Mr. Xu looked up, his wild eyes staring directly at Lin Xinhui, his voice trembling as he said, "Zhang Shufen... curse... deep... skull..."
Chen Hanlin understood, knowing that Mr. Xu's words might be the key. He took a deep breath and continued to inquire, "Sir, please tell us more. We need to find Zhang Shufen's skull in order to break this curse."
Mr. Xu seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, his lips trembling slightly as he slowly uttered a string of eerie words: "Main head... in the depths of the ancient well... deep within... a sleeping skull..."
These words shook Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin to the core. They understood that the ancient well mentioned by Mr. Xu might be the key.
"How do we find it? Any clues?"
Mr. Xu pointed at an old photo on the table, with a strange symbol on a box in the photo.
Lin Xinhui picked up the photo, held it tightly in her hand, and felt a chill rising from her spine. "I understand now, thank you Mr. Xu."
Mr. Xu gazed at her with a wild look in his eyes as he escorted her to the door. "Time is running out, you'd better hurry."
Lin Xinhui once again felt the pressure like a mountain, but she knew that for her daughter and this family, she had to unravel all the mysteries and end it all.
"I will, Mr. Xu, everything will come to an end."
Mr. Xu looks haggard, his eyes unfocused as if bound by some invisible force.
"Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you?" Chen Hanlin asked anxiously, trying to establish a connection with the old man.
The old man's response was unsettling. He hoarsely said, "They have come... They have been observing us all along. I tried to stop them, but I failed..."
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui exchanged a terrifying glance with each other.
Suddenly, the candlelight in the room dimmed abruptly, and the shadows seemed to grow darker. Mr. Xu's voice turned sharp, his body trembling uncontrollably, and he kept cursing at some presence.
"Hurry up!" Chen Hanlin shouted, grabbing Lin Xinhui's hand as they quickly left Hsu CheJen's apartment.
In the evening, when Lin Xinhui was walking back to the apartment with newly bought bread and milk, her phone suddenly vibrated. Upon checking, it turned out to be a text message from Mr. Xu, the uncle on the third floor.
"Hurry and leave, don't ask why. - Mr. Xu."
After reading the text message, Lin Xinhui immediately felt a cold wind blowing from behind, as if something inexplicable was watching her. She hurried home and told Chen Hanlin about the text message.
"What do you think we should do?" Chen Hanlin asked, clearly feeling that something was amiss.
"I don't know, but I always feel like there's something off about this text message from Mr. Xu," Lin Xinhui said in confusion.
The evening breeze slowly blew through the windows of this old apartment, gently moving the thin curtains.
The sky had darkened, but Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin were still pacing back and forth in Xiao Mei's room, looking serious. Their little daughter, Chen Mei, had not been the cheerful and lively child she used to be since she started exhibiting strange behavior.
"Lin Xinhui, did you hear a strange sound?" Chen Hanlin furrowed his brow and turned alertly towards the window.
"What sound?" Lin Xinhui stopped and looked around the room vigilantly.
At that moment, they heard a hissing sound, as if calling out someone's name.
"Xiao Mei... save me..."
At this moment, Xiao Mei suddenly stood up, looking as if she had suddenly realized something and returned to normal. "Mom, Dad, Mr. Xu is in danger, go save him!"
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin glanced at each other, then immediately rushed out of the room and ran towards the third floor.
Before leaving, make sure to lock Xiao Mei's room door.
They passed through the dim staircase, the lights flickering irregularly, as if also sensing the chilling atmosphere.
Finally, they arrived at the third floor. Chen Hanlin took the lead and knocked on Mr. Xu's door with a bang, bang, bang.
There was no response. Chen Hanlin wanted to kick the door open directly, but hadn't had the chance yet.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a loud crash coming from downstairs. With a sense of unease, the two quickly took the elevator to the first floor.
I saw a lot of people gathering at the scene. The security guard, Liu Minhung, with a pale face, was dialing the emergency number on his phone in a hurry.
"What happened?" Chen Hanlin's voice revealed deep concern.
Liu Minhung finally hung up the phone and answered with an uneasy look, "Mr. Hsu suddenly fell from the balcony. I just called for an ambulance."
He continued, "Fortunately, the awning slowed down Mr. Xu's fall. He's still alive, but clearly seriously injured."
Mrs. Lin was shocked, feeling increasingly fearful of the unexplainable in the apartment. Looking at Mrs. Wang, the two women locked eyes and understood clearly that someone had to take action.
"Mr. Hsu, are you okay?" Lin Xinhui approached Mr. Hsu and couldn't help but ask about his condition.
"I've revealed too much... that dreadful spirit has noticed me," Mr. Xu said, looking around warily.
Mr. Xu weakly grasped Lin Xinhui's hand and said, "Remember, that spirit has always been here, and it won't spare anyone..."
Lin Xinhui tightly held his hand, swallowed hard, knowing that things would only get more dangerous from here.
