Chapter 98: Market Entrance

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Don’t tell me you’re talking about the market entrance where the beheading was publicly displayed? “Wei Ming had lived for more than forty years and had heard many folk stories. The market entrance was not a good place.

“The right is the place where the’s the’s the ‘ Ji Jing confirmed his guess.

In ancient times, the government would often use the punishment of “beheading in public” to appease the victims and intimidate others.

The market was a place where people came and went every day. It was one of the most lively places in the ancient city. Therefore, in order to make it convenient for the people to watch, the government often chose the market entrance to behead the public.

“The moment before death is the deepest obsession. There were too many bloody events here. Even though the punishment of beheading had been abolished and the market had long moved, this land still attracted these dark existences.” Ji Jing looked around. It was almost noon, but there were still many demons and monsters in the demolition area. As for the ghosts and monsters that had hidden themselves, there was no need to mention them.

However, she was unable to detect the existence of the haunted house here. It was hidden very deeply.

Although Wei Ming couldn’t see the existence of the other world, he broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Ji Jing’s description. Where did he go?

“What did the haunted house look like? Can you describe it to me in detail?” Ji Jing asked.

“Of course!” Wei Ming completely gave up on his thoughts and wholeheartedly hoped that Ji Jing would help him. “That house looks like an architectural style from the last century, but it looks quite new. I originally thought that it was their old house, but when I walked inside, it was pitch black. I felt that something was wrong.”

“I saw a man and a woman. I didn’t look closely, but the woman should be wearing a dress—a nightgown! Yes, a nightdress. There was a large patch of blood on the dress. It was fresh! I’m scared out of my wits! She did not dare to turn around to see what the man looked like.” Every time Wei Ming recalled the scene from that afternoon, he felt like he had experienced another nightmare.

The style of the last century? “Do you know what kind of building was here before the demolition?” Ji Jing asked after thinking for a while.

“I’ve checked. It should be an ordinary old residential area, a tube-shaped apartment.” Wei Ming had also done a lot of research last night.

“That’s not right. A little further back is the architectural style of the last century that you mentioned.” Ji Ting Dondered. “That house probable existed here in the past. And it should have had a special story.”

“Let me look, let me look!” Wei Ming rummaged through his bag.

He couldn’t sleep the whole night and didn’t dare to sit idle. He collected a lot of information about this area.

After hundreds of years of change, the people in this area have long changed. The roads, place names, and buildings were completely different. Moreover, there was no internet in the past, so it was difficult to find information. It was almost scattered in various records.

But Wei Ming didn’t come up empty-handed.

At the moment of life and death, a fake Daoist priest who set up a stall also erupted with powerful potential.

“This was originally a big road. Someone opened a restaurant at the intersection.” Wei Ming pointed to one side of the ruins. “They built a stage here.”

“Later, for some reason, this restaurant closed down or changed hands.” Wei Ming frowned as he flipped through the records in his hand. “It was changed to a pawnshop.”

“It should have changed again after that… However, there were no records of it until it was finally transformed into a house with five families living in it. At the end of the last century, a large area here was bought by someone, and all of it was demolished and rebuilt into a residential area. This was the building that was first built.”

Wei Ming’s information was incomplete, so he didn’t know which one was effective. “What do you think went wrong?”

There was too little information, so Ji Jing couldn’t make a judgment. She thought about it and asked, “Have you been here before? Did their ancestors have any connection to this place?”

Wei Ming shook his head and said, “How would I know? I’m an orphan. I’ve never met my parents!”

“I set up a stall at the entrance of the hospital every day, but I’ve never been here before. Although I lied to them, nothing happened to them. I didn’t do anything bad, did I?”

Ji Jing glanced at him. This guy was really thick-skinned. He had cheated so many people out of their money, yet he still said that he hadn’t done anything bad.

“Trust me!” Wei Ming quickly explained, “I only did it because I knew what was going on. The people I cheated were all rich people! The 1.8 million yuan is nothing to them. If they really want to save their lives with the retirement money, I really didn’t do it.. Won’t you die if you take the medicine once or twice?”
