Chapter 814: Chapter 457: Finding a Stand-In

Gaosheng City, Seven Star Lake District.

Yan Junze and Zhang Xiaomo stood in front of the highest floor of this residential building.

Looking around, Yan Junze said, “This family must be quite wealthy; this is a duplex. Adding the upper and lower floors together, it’s probably close to 300 square meters.”

Zhang Xiaomo said, “At the time of the incident, only the child and her mother were at home. The next morning, when the nanny entered the house, she discovered something was off, and then the male owner came back home at noon and reported the case 4747.”

“How many doppelgänger strangenesses is this today?” Yan Junze shook his head and gave a wry smile.

Zhang Xiaomo expressed surprise: “Are you saying that this is another doppelgänger strangeness here?”

“Right.” Yan Junze nodded, “So far, I haven’t sensed any trace of a strange magnetic field, almost like the previous case with Lin Fei.”

Zhang Xiaomo naturally believed Yan Junze’s words because by now Yan Junze’s ability to sense strangenesses had reached a terrifying level.

Of course, Xiaomo didn’t know that this was because he could control the domain field, instead she thought that guy finally triggered the special physique of the Super Awesome Pen, and secretly felt somewhat relieved: her choice in men really had a vicious eye.

“Be cautious later on, the absence of weird magnetic field fluctuations doesn’t mean that the strangeness doesn’t have a magnetic field; it’s just very good at hiding.” Yan Junze reminded.

“So any one of the people here could potentially be a strangeness.” Zhang Xiaomo continued the thought.

With the experience of unexpectedly killing the strangeness impersonating Lin Fei’s parents in their home, she now believed that not everything she saw was real.

Just as Yan Junze said, one must pay attention to the details; the old ways of dealing with the strangenesses simply won’t work anymore, as these creatures are constantly evolving in a bizarre manner.

Before coming here, they had already called the male owner of this house. The man was upstairs, and they waited for a moment before the door opened.

“Exorcist sir, you’ve finally arrived! Please come in!”

A middle-aged man who looked quite mature and composed stood at the door. Despite the evident tiredness on his face, he still managed a smile and let the two inside.

This time Zhang Xiaomo entered first, with Yan Junze following as they both looked around.

“Your name is Xiao Yuanrui? What’s the situation at home right now?” Xiaomo asked.

The man nodded and said, “My wife Gao Ruolan and my child Xinxin are both sleeping in the secondary bedroom. They were both scared that night and dared not sleep in the master bedroom anymore. Xinxin was frightened into partial muteness and hardly spoke until the nanny arrived in the morning.”

“And your wife? Is she all right?” Xiaomo asked again.

Xiao Yuanrui shook his head then nodded again, “I have to say, the power of a mother’s love is great. I know my wife is usually very timid, but that night, she managed to break free from the strangeness’s entanglement, rushed out of the bedroom, and hid in the secondary bedroom with Xinxin. However, there were footsteps outside the bedroom all night, she didn’t take out her phone, and they just wrapped themselves in a quilt and waited until the nanny arrived at daybreak.”

“After the nanny came, did the strangeness no longer show up?” Yan Junze asked.

“Hmm.” Xiao Yuanrui nodded, “I arrived at noon, and when I heard that the number of strangenesses had suddenly increased nearby, I was also scared, so I temporarily found a Taoist priest who had previously conducted exorcisms to take a look. That person said the strangeness had left, but we’re not at all reassured.”

“Did the nanny go back?” Yan Junze inquired further.

“Hmm, I had her go back on the same day and wait for my notice before coming back,” Xiao Yuanrui said.

While speaking, he went to the kitchen and made two cups of instant coffee, handing one to each of them. Then Xiao Yuanrui went to the kitchen again, and on returning, he said to Yan Junze and Zhang Xiaomo, “Please have a seat, I will go and wake up the mother and daughter.”

After speaking, he headed upstairs.

Zhang Xiaomo glanced at Yan Junze, and then shifted her gaze to the steaming cup of coffee in front of her.

Frankly speaking, she was already tired and was looking forward to drinking a cup of coffee to fend off sleepiness.

Yan Junze, however, shook his head, indicating that she shouldn’t touch anything.

The two of them sat there for a while, not moving around. After a moment, Xiaomo asked, “Do you think this male owner, Xiao Yuanrui, has any issues?”

“Can’t tell so far,” Yan Junze responded honestly, “his behavior seems no different from that of a normal person.”

“I can’t tell either,” said Zhang Xiaomo.

As soon as her words ended, a man walked out from the kitchen with a smile on his face and said to them, “Please have a seat, I’m going to wake up the mother and daughter.”

That said, he went up the spiral staircase and quickly disappeared from sight.

Zhang Xiaomo’s eyes widened in shock, adopting a somewhat cute expression of surprise, she blurted out, “What’s going on? Didn’t Xiao Yuanrui already go upstairs? How come he came out of the kitchen again?”

Yan Junze did not answer. He too looked surprised, but just frowned, leaned forward to glance at the steaming coffee, and slowly stood up.

The footsteps from upstairs had disappeared.

And just as Yan Junze had stood up, another man came out of the kitchen, also smiling, saying as he went upstairs: “Please have a seat, I’m going to wake up the mother and daughter.”

“Wait a moment!” Zhang Xiaomo immediately called out.

But Xiao Yuanrui seemed to hear nothing, continuing upstairs on his own, footsteps fading away.

“If another Xiao Yuanrui comes out from the kitchen next, I’m going upstairs to take a look,” Xiaomo said to Yan Junze. After speaking, she pulled out her magnetic knife.

The situation was indeed odd.

While Xiaomo was waiting there, Yan Junze walked directly towards the kitchen entrance.
