Chapter 752 -435 Strangeness Piggy Bank_3
He quickly realized that he was sitting on a chair, facing a window two meters away, with the bedroom he had just entered behind him, and on the bed in that bedroom should still lie the man suspected to be Zhou Wenfei.
The strangeness here was strong or rather, quite eerie.
Gu Dekang did not panic too much, recalling carefully since he had been unable to leave this house just now, it was possible that the strangeness had the power to create a Grade C, or even Grade B, event.
If his guess was wrong, then maybe the strength of the strangeness was actually mediocre, but because of some special ability, it could cause anyone, including the Exorcist, to fall into a state of instant unconsciousness.
However, Gu Dekang was more inclined to the former guess, though the strength of the strangeness was considerable, it wasn’t the kind focused on taking lives but seemed to have some other special purpose.
Now his limbs were very stiff, but he could freely move his neck; he looked down and found his magnetic knife not far from his feet, presumably dropped there when he fell and it hadn’t been touched since.
It was then Gu Dekang noticed, there was a large cardboard box in front of him, similar to the ones used for desktop computers in the past, but slightly larger.
The lid of the box was closed, but he didn’t know what was inside.
In front of the lid, there was a circle drawn with a chalk pen, and next to it a few words: “Place it here.”
“What is it that needs to be placed here?”
Gu Dekang was surprised and then realized his pocket seemed bulging, but his fingers were so stiff. With effort, he finally was able to bend his arm and reach into his right pocket.
He touched an unfamiliar object, and since his fingers could not bend normally, he took it out mechanically and slowly.
It was a walnut.
After a slight hesitation, Gu Dekang stretched his arm with all his might, and finally managed to place the walnut in the circle.
Thereafter, he watched the scene, panting for breath.
He guessed that the strangeness must have a purpose for making him do this; under the circumstances, it was best to satisfy the other party for now and find a way to deal with it once his mobility improved a bit.
The magnetic knife was by his side, and if he was determined to escape, a sudden struggle might still offer a chance.
As he was planning, Gu Dekang noticed the chair he was sitting on started to turn on its own, the legs scraping noisily against the floor, as if an unknown force was pushing it.
In no time at all, the chair had completed its turn, making him now face away from the large cardboard box.
Gu Dekang tried to move, but found he still couldn’t muster much strength; he could only sit there almost limply.
A moment later, he heard noise from behind.
Without turning his head, he immediately listened; the sound was coming from the cardboard box.
Rustling noises, as if some thing was wriggling inside.
Soon after, a crisp sound emitted suddenly, followed by more rustling, then silence.
The chair under Gu Dekang began to turn again, scraping against the floor, and quickly turned back towards the direction of the cardboard box.
Only then did he see that the walnut placed in the circle was completely cracked.
And the cracked walnut was no longer in the circle but had been moved to the outside.
Thud, thud!

Two faint knocks came from inside the box.
Gu Dekang started, then looked toward his pocket, came to his senses, and reached in again to find another object.
However, his brow soon furrowed as he pulled the object out of his pocket awkwardly since his fingers couldn’t grip tight, nearly dropping it.
In his hand was a mouse, to be precise, a soft, dead newborn mouse without fur yet.
On seeing this, Gu Dekang felt a wave of nausea, nearly throwing away the dead rodent.
But after glancing at the circle on the box, he ended up placing the dead mouse on it.
Just as he drew back his hand, the chair started turning again, the grating sound being heard once more, and Gu Dekang was again facing away from the box.
“Is this strangeness playing a game with me?” At this moment, a peculiar thought suddenly arose in his mind.
The rustling sound came from behind again.
But this time, Gu Dekang didn’t react as before; instead, he slowly turned his head to look, just in time to see the soft, limp dead mouse being swiftly pulled into the half-open lid of the cardboard box.
This time, the mouse did not burst on impact.
“Could this be… a ghostly piggy bank?” Upon seeing this, Gu Dekang was taken aback.
