Chapter 2383: Chapter 2384: The Place Where Entry is Forbidden! Chapter 2383: Chapter 2384: The Place Where Entry is Forbidden! Hiss—-
This time, not only Gu Yiran, but even Lin Yi himself felt a chill breeze sweeping over his body,
tingling his scalp!

But Lin Yi said nothing, quietly signaling with his eyes to Gu Yiran, and together they entered the old lady’s house.

The old lady’s house had a completely different layout from Fang Daye’s, it was a typical old house.

Right upon entering was a corridor, about one meter wide, with a room on each side, but both doors were closed. In front of them, about two meters away, there was another door, with a thick curtain hanging outside.

And when the door behind them closed, the surrounding space turned utterly dark.

Doors surrounded them on all sides, as if behind each door awaited a judgment for them!

Beneath the two side doors, a bit of light seeped through, most likely from the living room.

Yet, the gaze of both was instinctively drawn to the door in front of them, about a meter away!

There lay a deep darkness; the door was covered with a thick floral curtain, as if deliberately hiding something.

“Let’s check this place later, let’s first look into these two rooms.”

Gu Yiran nodded, and Lin Yi pushed open the door on his left.

Creak—-
The door hinge emitted a harsh sound.

The room was small, less than twenty square meters, but surprisingly, it was very clean, spotless, as if it was maintained daily.

Ah!

Gu Yiran suddenly screamed.

Lin Yi hurriedly looked over.

On the kang (a traditional Chinese bed), two sets of black clothes were neatly laid out.

The style of the clothes was very retro, somewhat reminiscent of the Republic era’s style, and they were made of cotton.

Although winter hadn’t completely passed, in a place like Zhong Hai, there was no need to wear such garments.

The presence of these two pieces of clothing created an indescribably strange feeling.

“That gave me a fright.”

Gu Yiran kept patting her chest, “I thought they were two people lying there, scared me to death.”

Lin Yi didn’t say anything else; it was indeed a bit frightening.

After staying in the room for a few minutes, both seemed to have adapted to the environment and their expressions relaxed a bit, starting to look around.

There was a cabinet on the floor, one side next to the small kang and the other side next to a window.

On it was a television set, an old bulky model with a black-and-white display; by the look of it, it seemed quite old.

Apart from that, there was nothing else in the room.

“The structure of the room feels a bit odd, I’ve been to the countryside too, even old houses there don’t have such layouts.”

“This is a typical Northeast old house layout,” said Lin Yi.

“I’ve been to the Northeast before, someone took me to visit the local folk museum, the layout of the houses, and the photos in the museum were quite similar, and since this old lady comes from the Northeast, it’s not surprising she built her house this way.”

While they talked, Lin Yi walked over to the kang, looking at the sets of neatly arranged clothes, feeling increasingly eerie.

Lin Yi reached out to lift a corner of the clothes, but as soon as he lifted it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Beneath the clothes, several pieces of paper money were laid.

But these were not the hell notes sold in the market, but old-style round coins, which can no longer be found on the market.

“To think she even put such things here, what is this old lady up to?” murmured Gu Yiran, evidently a bit scared.

It wasn’t because she was faint-hearted, as Lin Yi had never seen such a setup either.

Carefully, Lin Yi lifted the entire set of clothes, and discovered an entire layer of paper money under it,
shaped exactly like the clothes, all pressed beneath, only visible by lifting them.

Gu Yiran lifted the other set of clothes, and underneath was the same situation.

“What is this old lady up to, mumbling like that?”

“Maybe it’s a custom from the Northeast; we can ask around later.”

Lin Yi put the clothes back in their original place and stood next to the cabinet, lifting the lid on top.

Inside were some old clothes, along with a faint musty smell.

But on top of that, there were also two pieces of paper, the meaning of which was unknown.

“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything here, let’s check the next room.”

Gu Yiran nodded, and the two headed towards another room.

Creak creak creak–
Ah!

Just then, a mouse suddenly appeared from somewhere, scurrying past Gu Yiran’s feet, making her scream loudly and nearly jump onto Lin Yi.

“Calm down, it’s just a mouse, no need to be so tense.”

“Wait a moment, let me calm down.”

Gu Yiran was gasping for air, and in such a setting, being a woman, it’s all false to say she wasn’t nervous.

Two or three minutes passed, and Gu Yiran’s complexion looked much better.

“Let’s go, let’s see inside.”

Standing at the doorway of another room, Lin Yi gently pushed the door open.

A strong scent of incense wafted out.

In front of them was a long table.

On it was a plaque for the Fox Fairy, and there were also three sticks of incense.

Surrounding it were various talismans with unintelligible writings.

And on the floor, many yellow and white hell notes were scattered, creating a creepy atmosphere, like a cold wind seeping through the clothes, penetrating into Gu Yiran’s pores, causing her spine to chill.

Gu Yiran clutched Lin Yi’s clothes; it was her first time seeing such things and she couldn’t help but feel scared.

“Let’s go, there’s nothing in this room, let’s go out.”

Gu Yiran didn’t say a word, and walked out first.

The two closed the door again, and the surroundings turned dim.

Their gaze then fell on a door about one meter away.

Absolute silence surrounded them; they could hear Gu Yiran’s heartbeat and the sound of swallowing.

Both knew that behind that door, which was likely the kitchen, was the place the old lady had forbidden them to go.

Yet, without any agreement, neither chose to obey.

It was time to check it out.

“Don’t be so nervous, let’s just go and see.”

Subconsciously, Gu Yiran touched her lower back and took out a gun, cautiously moving forward.

The mere distance of a little over a meter took them about half a minute to cross slowly and reach the door.

Standing before the door, Lin Yi was about to push it open but was stopped by Gu Yiran.

“If you’re scared, you can go out and wait for me.”

“Don’t…”

“I’m even more afraid to face that old lady alone,” Gu Yiran said softly, “let me calm down a bit.”

Lin Yi wasn’t in a rush and waited for about half a minute, then Gu Yiran signaled that she was ready.

Lin Yi placed his hand on the curtain, gently sweeping it aside.

Squeak–
The shrill sound of the door hinges resonated as the forbidden door was slowly pushed open by Lin Yi.

But just as the door opened, both stood frozen in place.

They saw a scene they had never imagined!
