Chapter 1 The Orochi of the Haunted House
The demon soul's ambition is to say that if you sleep in a Yang house, your family dog will be safe; if you sleep in a Yin house, you will die young.
My name is Bai Qingran, and I am a professional haunted house sleep tester.
I was abandoned in a graveyard on the top of a mountain before the full moon was over, and I was an orphan.
More than twenty years ago——
When my mother-in-law found me on the mountain, I was already dying of hunger.
When my mother-in-law saw how pitiful I was, she took me home.
It happened that she had no children herself, and only had a little granddaughter who was also picked up to accompany her.
So my mother-in-law, based on the principle of having more mouths to feed our family, adopted me as well, and fed me till I was this big with spoonfuls of rice cereal.
My mother-in-law is a member of the witch tribe and a saint of the witch tribe.
Within the witch clan, the Saintess is the most powerful, and her specialty is channeling spirits.
And because I grew up beside my mother-in-law, I also successfully obtained a mysterious power when I was eight years old - I can see monsters and ghosts, and I can also communicate with ghosts across the yin and yang.
And my blood has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.
The locust tree spirit when I was a child, the tiger spirit when I grew up, and the white-bone spirit were all destroyed by my blood.
No matter what kind of monster it is, as long as it is evil, it will definitely die if it touches my blood.
After my mother-in-law learned that I had this magical ability, she was worried for a long time. In the end, she just said to me meaningfully: God's will! It seems that you are destined to be the savior of our witch clan!
Savior or not, I actually don't care at all.
I don’t want to be trapped in the mountains all my life without seeing the sun. I want to fly freely under the vast sky outside!
However, three years ago, my mother-in-law suddenly fell seriously ill, and an uncle from the same village called to tell her that she had been placed in the best nursing home in the area.
However, the cost of medical treatment and nursing care is high. If I cannot pay a large sum of money back on time, my mother-in-law's condition may worsen and she may die soon.
In order to treat my mother-in-law, I had no choice but to look for a job online.
In the end, I became a sleep tester in a haunted house. This is a profession that is not popular but makes a lot of money quickly.
Haunted house sleep testers are similar to hotel sleep testers in a sense.
It's just that the latter makes yang money, but we make yin money.
If there is a supernatural incident in any luxury house or community, an employer will pay a lot of money to hire a sleep tester to try it out for a night.
You only need to stay in the haunted house for ten hours according to the employer's requirements and help the employer prove that the haunted house is not dangerous, and you can wait for your reward the next day.
Relying on my own unique ability to keep away ghosts and ghosts, I became a leader in this industry just one year after I entered the industry.
I am bold and practical. Even if my father, the sponsor, lets me sleep all night, I will never get up even an hour early.
The monthly income has also increased from 23,000 yuan at the beginning to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan now.
As for the money I earn, I only keep ten to twenty thousand for my own use every month, and the rest is given to my mother-in-law for medical treatment.
In order for my mother-in-law to live in a better nursing home and use better medical resources, I had no choice but to work hard to make money, face the dangers, and go to work regardless of food.
But just a week ago, I experienced my first overturn in my undefeated career.
The sponsor who placed the order was the developer of a high-end suburban community in the far north of Licheng.
It is said that the community was originally a mass grave.
Later, a real estate tycoon spotted it and bought it at a low price. It took two years to build a high-end community here.
But as soon as the community was completed, all kinds of unscientific things happened one after another.
First, a big python as big as a bowl appeared at the community unveiling ceremony. The python came out directly from the ground and was more than ten meters long!
The python crashed into the archway at the entrance of the community, circled twice around a group of frightened living people, and then ran straight into the mountains behind.
People later saw two coffins as bright red as blood in the pit where the python emerged.
This incident caused quite an uproar in our city.
Because there are rumors about a python hitting the archway, the properties in this community have not been sold for a long time.
In order to break the impact of the python hitting the archway on the sales of housing in the community and try to recover the losses of the real estate, the boss of the community developer finally couldn't sit still.
They began to recruit a large number of sleep testers for haunted houses online, offering high salaries, just to prove to the outside world that the haunted houses were not dangerous and that they could be purchased with confidence.
I heard that before me, the sponsor boss had already found five or six sleep testers to live stream their sleep test.
But in the end, those sleep testers were scared away after not being able to survive past twelve o'clock.
Of course, the financial owner and boss will not disclose the specific reasons to outsiders.
At that time, my boss found me and offered me double my salary to stay overnight in the suite where the supernatural incident occurred.
For the sake of money, I agreed without thinking.
However, man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.
I entered the haunted house, got everything ready, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
When I was sleeping late at night, I heard the sound of something pushing open the window.
A dark wind blew in, making me shiver all over.
As if trapped in a nightmare, I opened my eyes drowsily, only to see a sparkling silver snake tail appearing in front of me.
No, it's not a snake's tail either. The body looks like a snake and the tail looks like a fish. It's still a long-haired fish tail that emits blue light.
The huge creature was squirming gently on my bed, and the moonlight filtered through the window, highlighting the rows of dark blue scales on its body.
Above the dark roof, a pair of big red eyes were staring at me...
