Li Weihan The police officer's flashlight beam swept through one corner after another, but found no abnormalities. There was a hint of anxiety on his face, as if searching for an impossible answer.
"We have searched this place countless times," Li Weihan said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "If there really was some ancient well here, we would have found it long ago."
Lin Xinhui lowered her head, tightly gripping the ancient books given by Professor Wu, her eyes revealing determination and resolve: "We cannot give up. The words of Mr. Xu cannot be baseless."
"But, the ancient well from a hundred years ago has long been filled in, and the possibility of finding it now is very slim," added Li Fang, her voice tinged with weariness.
Chen Hanlin Suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharply fixed on a stone slab on the ground, "Wait, look here."
He crouched down and lightly tapped the stone slab with his hand. The slab made a sound, and then he tapped another stone slab, clearly the two slabs made different sounds.
"Is there anything strange? The seniors here also found it at first, but when they opened it, it was just the floor! I guess the workers didn't measure properly when laying the mud, so it appears uneven in thickness."
"No, based on my many years of engineering experience, obviously there is space underneath," Chen Hanlin said confidently.
Li Weihan and Li Fang quickly approached and looked together. Lin Xinhui's heartbeat quickened, and she felt a glimmer of hope flickering in her heart.
Chen Hanlin carefully moved the stone slab aside, revealing what appeared to be a floor, but clearly this kind of deception could not fool him.
"Can you bring the shovel over to me and Li Weihan? We will start digging on this patch of floor. Xinhui, take this ancient book and start reciting, may it bless our excavation process."
In the basement, only the faint light of a flashlight illuminated their movements. Chen Hanlin and Officer Li Weihan were vigorously shoveling dirt, with each shovel making the air in the space even more humid and oppressive.
Lin Xinhui held the old ancient book, nervously flipping through its pages. Her voice trembled but remained resolute: "According to this page, the ritual to purify the vengeful spirits requires drawing a protective symbol first, and then I will begin the recitation."
She carefully drew talismans on the ground, praying for everything to be safe. The atmosphere around her became increasingly eerie, as if an invisible force was gathering.
Officer Li Fang stood to the side, her eyes revealing unease and suspicion, but she remained silent, observing the situation around her.
As time passed, Chen Hanlin and Li Weihan finally unearthed a circular structure covered in mud and stones. They worked hard to clear it, and soon the appearance of an ancient well was revealed.
"This is the ancient well!" exclaimed Lin Xinhui in astonishment, her face showing an expression of disbelief.
Li Weihan The police officer stared at the ancient well, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes: "There really is this well... How did we not discover it back then?"
Chen Hanlin cautiously leaned over to look into the well, only to see darkness with no visible bottom. His heart was filled with caution and curiosity.
Lin Xinhui began reciting ancient spells from the classics, her voice echoing in the quiet underground chamber, carrying a hint of mystery and ancient aura. She held the ancient texts in her hands, her brows furrowed, completely focused on every word and sentence.
Li Weihan, the police officer, and Li Fang stood quietly to the side, their eyes revealing vigilance and curiosity, occasionally glancing around as if waiting for some unknowable event to occur.
As the incantation continued, the air in the basement seemed to undergo subtle changes. A cold breeze rose from the well, carrying a chilling breath.
The chanting of Lin Xinhui gradually grew louder, and her eyes shimmered with a determined light. She knew that this was the crucial moment to lift the curse of the vengeful spirit He Jiao.
Suddenly, a piercing scream or howling wind came from the well, completely indistinguishable, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
The eerie scream or howling wind echoed in everyone's ears, making the atmosphere even more eerie and oppressive. Lin Xinhui's face turned pale, her hands tightly gripping the ancient book, trembling as she continued to chant the incantation.
Chen Hanlin and Li Weihan police officers nervously stared at the ancient well. Suddenly, cracks began to appear at the edge of the well, followed by a loud noise. The entire well collapsed, and soil and stones rolled into the dark abyss.
"Quick, move back!" Chen Hanlin shouted, pulling Lin Xinhui and Li Weihan police officers to retreat quickly.
Li Fang The police officer looked at the sudden change in shock, her voice trembling: "How is this possible, it was fine just now, how did it suddenly..."
"There's something wrong here." Li Weihan the police officer's eyes were full of suspicion and fear, he tightly gripped the flashlight and looked around.
Lin Xinhui's heartbeat accelerated, and she felt a kind of indescribable oppression and panic. "Perhaps we have touched something we shouldn't have touched."
Li Fang, the police officer, tightly gripped the flashlight in her hand, her voice trembling but firm: "This... this is a natural phenomenon, right? Just a regular well."
Li Weihan's brows furrowed as he gazed back and forth between the well and its surroundings, searching for the logic that would explain it all. "It's possible that the long-term lack of maintenance has led to an unstable structure."
Chen Hanlin also furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on the collapsed well. He took a deep breath. "Yes, we can't just go down there recklessly. We may need to ask the expert Guo to come and excavate."
The four of them left the basement, and the air was still filled with an atmosphere of unresolved mysteries.
After leaving the basement, Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin returned to the living room of the apartment with the police. The atmosphere in the apartment remained heavy, with the gentle night breeze outside moving the curtains, creating an eerie sense of tranquility.
Chen Hanlin looked at Lin Xinhui with concern and said, "We need to contact Professor Wu again to see if he has any explanation for this situation."
Lin Xinhui nodded and took out her phone to dial Professor Wu's number. After the call connected, she eagerly explained their discovery and current predicament.
"Professor Wu, we found an ancient well in the basement of the apartment, but the incantation we tried doesn't seem to work on He Jiao's vengeful spirit. Can you help us analyze the reason?" Lin Xinhui sounded anxious.
Professor Wu's voice came through the phone, calm and authoritative: "Are you sure it's just an ordinary vengeful spirit? The incantations recorded in ancient texts should work on regular vengeful spirits, but if it's a special entity like He Jiao, it may require a more specific approach, especially as you get closer to her remains, her vengeful abilities will become stronger."
Lin Xinhui quickly replied: "Yes, we learned from local residents that the curse on this apartment is related to He Jiao's tragic story."
Professor Wu pondered for a moment, then said, "He Jiao, the grudge of this vengeful spirit may be very deep, and traditional methods may not be powerful enough. I will consult some older texts to see if there is a more suitable solution. If I find one, I will come directly to your place. Please send me the address."
"Okay, I will send you the address."
After the phone call was interrupted, Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin looked at each other, both filled with uncertainty.
At this moment, Police Officer Li Weihan and Police Officer Li Fang were also preparing to leave, heading to the police station to report today's findings.
"We will investigate the situation of this ancient well as soon as possible and search for the undiscovered skulls from that year," Officer Li Weihan said, his tone revealing determination and professionalism.
Officer Li Fang added, "If you need our help, contact us at any time. We will handle this matter confidentially and avoid causing unnecessary panic."
After the two police officers left, Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin sat back on the sofa in the living room.
It was late at night, but neither of them could relax, their hearts filled with fear of the unknown and worry about the future.
Lin Xinhui gazed at the night sky outside the window, her voice low: "What else can we do?"
Chen Hanlin held her hand tightly and comforted her: "We have done our best. The rest depends on whether Professor Wu can find a solution. In any case, we cannot give up hope."
They waited in silence, waiting for Professor Wu's response, waiting for the key to unraveling all these mysteries.
The wind outside gently blew, as if telling the story behind this apartment, a secret hidden in the night.
