Chapter 512: Beaten to Death

Just as Old Wu, the innkeeper, hadsaid, the two rooms belonging to Yang Shijie's father-in-law were closely situated behind the inn, with a short wall between them. According to Old Wu, despite the mere separation of this wall, nothing strange had ever been reported by the guests staying in the lower rooms of the inn. However, those who crossed this wall scarcely came out normal. Either they vanished without a trace as if evaporated from the Mortal Realm, or they became deranged, screaming in terror at the sight of anyone.

Those two rooms were left by Yang Shijie's father-in-law, Zhang De. They looked quite old, the whitewashed walls were peeling away due to the rain, exposing the muddied base, and the remaining white surfaces were blotched with monochrome patterns stained by the rainwater beneath the eaves. Fortunately, the green tiles on the roof were intact and covered thoroughly, so there was no leakage into the rooms.
