Chapter 533 He absolutely refused to open the door.
Before Wang Xinyao could even take a step, the door to the guardhouse opened.
"Stop! You two, what are you doing?" A security guard poked his head out from inside.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Face scan! You need to scan your face to get in!"
He strode out, blocking the entrance, and frowned as he looked Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan up and down.
"Which building are you a resident of? Don't you even know this rule?"
Wang Xinyao quickly stopped in her tracks; she had indeed wanted to jump over it because she was in such a hurry.
"Security guard, we're looking for someone!" she quickly explained.
"Looking for someone?" The security guard snorted irritably, as if he had heard a joke.
"You don't need to register to find someone? How can you do this? Trying to 'fly' in in the middle of the night?"
What, are you filming a martial arts drama? Let me tell you, if you want to die, don't come to our neighborhood!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan's expression darkened, and anger was evident between his brows.
Is there anywhere in the world that he cannot go?
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Xinyao gently pressed his hand down and shook her head slightly.
The security guard continued muttering under his breath, "What terrible luck! Running into two lunatics this late at night..."
This threshold is so high and long, do you think you're Liu Xiang, the athlete, and you want to jump over it?
If it weren't for my sense of responsibility at work, and my constant vigilance in guarding this gate...
"If I really let you jump, and something happens, will I still have my job?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face turned even uglier.
"Xiao He! Why are you arguing with two lunatics?"
At that moment, another security guard, rubbing his sleepy eyes, pushed open the pavilion door while cursing.
"Just kick them out. Oh, and after you kick them out, call the police right away, just in case something really happens!"
He looked impatient again: "I was sleeping soundly and you woke me up. If I lose money playing cards tomorrow, I'll deal with you!"
"Yes, Captain, you go to sleep, I'll send them away right away..."
The security guard, called Xiao He, nodded quickly, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind sweep over his head.
He subconsciously looked up and saw Zhao Haoxuan's figure, like a roc spreading its wings, lightly leaping over his head and landing steadily in the courtyard of the residential area.
"My God! A ghost!" The security captain was terrified by the scene.
He collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, pointing at Zhao Haoxuan, trembling like a leaf.
Xiao He was completely dumbfounded, standing there frozen in place, his mind blank.
Wang Xinyao helplessly rubbed her forehead and sighed.
He said to the two terrified men, "I'm sorry, brother, we really have an emergency."
Before she finished speaking, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure as graceful as a swallow.
She leaped over the high threshold, her skirt tracing a graceful arc in the air.
After landing, the two exchanged a glance, then, without further delay, quickly ran towards the villa they remembered.
At the gatehouse, the security captain took a long time to find his voice and asked with a sob in his voice.
"Xiao...Xiao He...pinch me, I...were we seeing a ghost? Was that...was that some kind of light-body skill?"
Xiao He's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He stammered, "Team...team leader, should we...should we call the police? This is too scary!"
The security captain hesitated for a moment, then frantically reached for his phone, but his hand trembled violently as he dialed the number.
He suddenly realized what was happening, slapped Xiao He hard on the back of the head, and muttered in a low voice:
"Call the police my ass! Are you stupid?! This isn't even human!"
Can a human do that?
This must be a ghost!
Or it could be something unclean!
"Quick, quick, get inside! Lock the door! I'm not going out tonight, no matter what!"
The two scrambled back into the guardhouse, slammed the door shut, and then, still feeling unsafe, locked it from the inside and blocked it with a chair.
Wang Xinyao led Zhao Haoxuan and they quickly found the familiar villa where his aunt lived.
The house, once brightly lit and filled with laughter, now appears silent and desolate under the pale moonlight, with even some withered leaves scattered in the yard.
Looking at this scene of changed times, Wang Xinyao felt a lump in her throat and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"This is it." Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Zhao Haoxuan squeezed her hand, offering his support silently.
As the two approached under the cover of night, they found the door locked and covered with a thin layer of dust.
This was no obstacle for the two who possessed magical abilities. With a slight exertion of his fingertips, Zhao Haoxuan opened the lock.
Pushing open the door, a whiff of dust, as if the place had been uninhabited for a long time, hit me.
By the moonlight streaming in through the window, the living room was empty, the furniture covered with white sheets, and the floor bore the marks left by the furniture being moved, making it look particularly desolate.
"Aunt... Uncle..." Wang Xinyao called softly, but only an empty echo answered her.
Her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground, her heart overwhelmed by immense panic and self-blame.
"I'm still late... I'm so sorry, so sorry..."
Zhao Haoxuan reacted quickly, catching her and pulling her into his arms.
Feeling her body trembling slightly, he comforted her with heartache, "Xinyao, don't worry, don't panic. Now that we're here, we're sure to find some clues. We can go back and ask the security guards; they might know something."
Encouraged by him, Wang Xinyao forced herself to stand up straight, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her gaze became firm again.
"Yes, security! They must know something!"
The two immediately turned back and returned to the guardhouse at the entrance of the residential area.
The gatehouse door was tightly shut, and there were faint, suppressed rustling sounds coming from inside.
"Security guards, are you there? Open the door, we have something to ask you!" Wang Xinyao knocked on the door.
The two people inside the door were so frightened that they huddled together and trembled even more violently.
"Captain... Captain, they're back! They've come looking for us!" Xiao He said, her voice trembling with tears in her eyes.
"Shut up! Don't make a sound! Do you want to attract ghosts here?!"
The security captain lowered his voice and reprimanded, but he himself was so frightened that his face turned pale.
How could their whispers escape Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan's ears?
Wang Xinyao had no choice but to raise her voice and explain, "Security guard, we know you're inside."
Open the door! We're really people, not ghosts!
We just wanted to ask some questions; we wouldn't hurt you.
But the two people inside were convinced they were "non-human beings" and refused to open the door no matter what, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Zhao Haoxuan lost his patience, his brows furrowed slightly, and he circulated his internal energy, raising his hand to gently press on the door lock.
With a sharp "bang," the sturdy lock, along with a piece of wood and a chair nearby, shattered, and the door opened.
"Aaaaah! Ghost! Don't catch me! Don't eat me! My flesh is bitter!"
When the two security guards saw the broken door, their last line of defense crumbled.
At the same time, he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered and almost fainted.
