The Murder House

　　Mr.Lam's words shocked me once again, why would he know about Peng Zu, why would he know that Peng Zu has the secret of immortality on him? And why is he here to seek my co-operation? Is it because I can Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts?

　　"Haha, Mr.Lam you can really make jokes, what longevity ah, people that's just longevity, you have read too many TV novels, right?" I played dumb and said.

　　Mr.Lam said don't believe me, this Peng Zu ah, he is actually not dead, he just set up a game, let the world think he is dead, but actually not.

　　I froze, is this Mr.Lam serious? What the hell does he know?

　　"Mr.Lam, you can't say this kind of thing or you'll be hauled off to the mental hospital for someone. How old would that Peng Zu have to be by now if he didn't die, is there such a person?" I said.

　　I suddenly wondered a little bit if this Mr.Lam had a bit of Alzheimer's disease, some old people with this disease just like to talk nonsense.

　　"Haha, Mr.Tang ah, it seems that you still can't accept some concepts, then there's no need for us to continue talking, but let me tell you, right now Peng Zu is in Vervecity, if you have figured it out, come and find me, and we'll co-operate together to search for the secret of eternal life." After Mr.Lam finished speaking, he picked up his crutches and headed for the door.

　　Peng Zu is in Vervecity? How does Mr.Lam know these things?

　　Thinking of the old man similar to Peng Zu that we saw in the pub earlier, and the inexplicable ghost flag, is this Mr.Lam not talking nonsense?

　　But I can't accept how a person who existed before the Qin Dynasty can live until now? Is that still a human being? That's a monster.

　　"Why did you pick me?" I asked quietly before Mr.Lam left.

　　"Because ...Peng Zu is also a Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts master," Mr.Lam said before his figure disappeared into the doorway.

　　Peng Zu, also Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts master?Really or not?Why does Mr.Lam know this?

　　This Mr.Lam is really good at it, he hasn't finished messing around with passing on the family name, he wants to mess around with eternal life, he's really greedy! But the latter is really much more interesting than the former.

　　What is most precious to the rich? Of course it's life, and if they can live forever, it's a great temptation for them.

　　But what does it matter to me, what eternal life I have no interest at all, and that Peng Zu is all full of mysteries, it feels eerie, if there is nothing, I do not want to touch, I just want to make money, and then save my grandfather before saying anything else, other things, it has nothing to do with me.

　　Although Mr.Lam wanted to seek my cooperation, and what he said did pique my curiosity, but I was not very interested, I wanted to know about what he said, but I didn't want to co-operate with him, it's as simple as that, to put it bluntly, it's fine to satisfy my curiosity, but to go and do something with me, I'm sorry, I'm not willing to do that.

　　After Mr.Lam left, I was distracted the whole day, the creepy old man's face of Peng Zu kept popping up in my mind, and since I never had any guests, I went upstairs for a midday nap, but I couldn't sleep well, I had nightmares after nightmares, and I kept on dreaming that I was going to a place, a horrible place I had never been to before.

　　When I woke up, it was dark and it was the longest nap I've ever had, and it wasn't a good one, and I woke up weak.

　　After dinner, about eight o'clock, there came a couple who, with some timidity, said they had come to do the Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts, to ward off evil spirits.

　　Stein hurriedly greeted them and sat down, and after talking to them for a while, I got the basics.

　　The couple's male name is Zabaleta, who is in his mid-forties, on the tall side, wears glasses and is a programmer.

　　The woman's name is Yuzmv, she's around forty, a housewife.

　　They came to me for the simple reason that they had encountered something evil and wanted to get a tattoo as they had heard that Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts wards off evil spirits.

　　I hastened to ask them what evil, what was going on, and give me the details so I could get the corresponding tattoo.

　　Zabaleta said they bought a new house, but they moved into their new home for a few days, and then people came knocking on their door every night.

　　The weird thing is that every time I open the door there is no one outside, and as soon as I close the door there is someone else knocking, which is extremely annoying.

　　At one point Zabaleta was waiting behind the door, glancing into the cat's eye as soon as he heard someone knocking; he wanted to see who was up to mischief.

　　But what's even weirder is that the cat's eye doesn't see anyone either, which freaks Zabaleta out... it can't be a ghost, can it?

　　But Zabaleta thought he had not done anything bad in his life, even if a ghost really knocked on the door in the middle of the night, there is no need to panic, in order to confirm whether it is a person or a ghost, Zabaleta bought a camera, and then mounted it on top of the door.

　　The next morning, sure enough, the camera caught a lot of weird footage of the person who came knocking on the door with a shadow, and judging by the shapes, the shadows were human, dog-headed, and human, goat-headed, and anyway, the heads were all animals of several kinds.

　　Those shadows knocked on the door and immediately disappeared, just like evaporation, extremely weird.

　　Zabaleta said and showed me the security camera footage that was captured, I felt a little creeped out even after I watched it, it was too weird, the shadows were very peculiar and odd to say the least.

　　I said did you guys buy a murder house, this didn't happen before, and as soon as you moved into your new home this appeared.

　　Zabaleta said he thought the same thing, but the house was purchased and can no longer be returned, and he checked and nothing has happened to the house and no one has died, so it shouldn't be a murder house.

　　Not a murder house? Then why are there all these strange and weird things? Those shadows look a bit like demons, but if they were really demons, then more than one, these two couples would have died long ago, and demons aren't that boring to knock on people's doors every day? What's the point?

　　I asked Stein if he could tell what the shadows were.

　　Shorty looked and thought for a long time and said it could be an evil spirit of an animal.

　　The so-called animal evil spirit is the animal's resentment, but generally animals are not open minded, why would there be any resentment, even if they are killed and eaten.

　　But some animals are different, like snakes, cats, foxes, weasels and such, they open their minds and if they die a horrible death, they will develop a grudge and come back to take revenge on humans.

　　But the surveillance video of these shadows, looking at the shape of the animals, probably some pigs, cows, sheep, rabbits, these things have no grievances to speak of, and can not form an evil spirit, a little strange.

　　After Zabaleta finished, Yuzmv also had something to say, saying that there was not only one evil thing that knocked on the door, but many more, and all of them happened when Zabaleta was not at home.

　　For example, when Yuzmv was cooking, killing a chicken or a fish, suddenly the chicken would turn around and bite her, and the same with the fish, and even weirder, once she steamed a fish and brought it all to the table, but the fish suddenly jumped up and laughed at her, scaring her so much that she fainted on the spot.

　　Also, whenever Zabaleta is not at home, she feels like there are so many people in the house and they are all staring at her.
