Chapter 578: Did He Hope for the Woman in the Photo to Die?
It was a very old black-and-white photo. It was already yellowing, and it looked rather old.
The background in the photo looked like the streets during the Qing Dynasty. The scene in the photo was similar to a documentary that Chi Jiao had seen before. There were men with long braids and bearded foreign westerners.
The main focus was on a woman.
She was sitting at a noodle stall by the street, eating noodles. She was wearing a western-style dress that did not fit her surroundings. She had curly hair and a blissful smile on her adorable, oriental face.
Chi Jiao looked at the woman and couldn’t help being stunned.
That woman’s facial features were almost identical to hers.
The only difference was that there was a small mole just below the left corner of the woman’s eye, adding a hint of mature charm to her face.
Without looking at the mole, the woman in the photo looked exactly the same as when she was in her twenties in her previous life!
Chi Jiao quickly flipped through the notebook.
By the time she flipped to the last page, she realized that the thick notebook was filled with the words “Death.”
It was as if the owner of this notebook had vented all his hatred into this fragile notebook.
Who did the owner of this notebook wish would die?
Did he hope for the woman in the photo to die?
If this photo had been taken during the Qing Dynasty, this woman would have died long ago.
The mystery grew.
Chi Jiao had a vague feeling that the person who had given the Eight Trigrams mirror to Chen Kai might be the same person who performed joint cultivation with Zhen Xiaoqing.
If that person was really a monster who had lived since the Qing Dynasty, then it was not difficult to explain why he was dressed like a person from that era to meet Chen Kai.
After pondering for a while, Chi Jiao put away the notebook and photo.
If she wanted to know if this photo was taken during the Qing Dynasty, she just needed to find a professional to determine it.
Chi Jiao stopped thinking about the photo and notebook for the time being and turned on the handphone.
The phone had been processed and repaired. It could barely be turned on, and the screen was a little blurry.
After all, this phone was severely damaged. It was already a rare feat for it to be repaired and unlocked.
Chi Jiao looked at the handphone and realized that it had never been used to call or text anyone.
She had Beitang Lie get a tech staff from 117 to perform data recovery. The call and text logs were all blank.
However, there were still quite a lot of apps downloaded. There were all sorts of video and gaming apps, as well as a web browser.
Chi Jiao opened the web browser and finally made a discovery.
The browser history was still there.
—Mount Peng Haunted House
She searched through history and saw these four words.
Mount Peng Haunted House was very famous in Country Hua. It was one of the top ten haunted houses.
Chi Jiao had heard a lot about this Mount Peng Haunted House.
Mount Peng was located in Yunbei City. It had very nice scenery and was also a tourist attraction.
The haunted house was located in the dense forest at the top of Mount Peng. According to legend, it was a mansion built by a bandit leader many years ago for the woman he loved. However, not long after it was built, the bandits were wiped out by the local armed government. On the seventh day after her husband died, the bandit wife hung herself in a red dress.
From then on, supernatural events often happened in that luxurious house. Gradually, it became deserted. Only the family of the old servant of the bandit leader remained, guarding the house for generations..
