536: Roasted to Death

Roasted to Death

Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Chi Jiao and Yan Qingqing looked at each other.2

It was quite impossible for the house to be haunted.

According to the investigation conducted by 117, ever since the birth of Espers, 80% of the supernatural events in this world were caused by them.

"Auntie, can you explain in more detail?" Yan Qingqing asked.

Wang Yan nodded. "We bought that house half a year ago. We didn't move in until it was renovated a month ago. On the first day we moved in, something strange happened. The cat that we had for five years suddenly became very irritable that night. It was usually very gentle, but that night, it behaved very abnormally. It refused to let anyone touch it. If anyone approached it, it would react fiercely. The next morning, we found that the cat was dead…"

At this point, intense fear flashed across her eyes. "We found it in the oven. It was roasted to death."

Yan Qingqing started sweating profusely as she imagined that scene.

It was indeed very strange and terrifying.

"My family loves that cat a lot. We have never beaten or even scolded it, much less torture it to death. Therefore, we suspected that a pervert had sneaked into our house. There were surveillance cameras installed at our door. We looked at the surveillance cameras but did not find anyone infiltrating our house."

"So, you suspect that it's a ghost?" Yan Qingqing asked with a frown.

"Miss, we didn't discover anyone entering our house. It's not our family, either. If that's not a ghost, what else can it be?" Wang Yan looked at Yan Qingqing.

"Did you call the police, then?" Chi Jiao asked.

Most families who encountered such a strange situation would report it to the police.

If they called the police, this strange situation would have been handed over to the 117 to settle.

Wang Yan sighed. "What's the use of calling the police? If we tell them that we're haunted by a ghost, will they believe us?"

Chi Jiao: "…"

She was speechless at this logic.

"What happened then that scared your family so much they had to be hospitalized?" Yan Qingqing asked.

This appeared to be of an even greater terror to Wang Yan.

She picked up the glass of water and took a few sips to calm herself down.

"My eldest son was the first to fall sick," Wang Yan said in a low voice. "Our family runs a supermarket, the kind that operates 24/7. That night, he went to the supermarket and was busy until late at night. When he finally arrived home, he heard chewing sounds in the kitchen. He went to the kitchen to take a look but did not find anyone. Instead, he found the refrigerator door open. He walked to the refrigerator and looked inside, only to see that it was our dead cat which was being chewed on! It was still in a burnt state and half its head was gone. My son fainted from fright and was sent to the hospital…"

At this point, Wang Yan drank another mouthful of water.

"In the beginning, we didn't know why my eldest son fainted. But when he woke up, he told us the reason. We all thought that he was hallucinating, but he insisted that what he saw was real. After our cat died, we buried it in a flower bed in our neighborhood. In order to confirm what my eldest son said, my husband wanted to dig out the cat's corpse to take a look. We searched through the flower bed but couldn't find the cat's corpse."
