The resolution of the "Haunting" incident at Mr. Li's home did not bring about a lasting calm. A series of similar "strange occurrences" began to unfold in the Suburban Villa Area, drawing the attention of the police.
These cases shared several commonalities: bizarre home furnishings, inexplicable phenomena, and the residents' deteriorating mental states.
Suspecting that someone was orchestrating these disturbances to incite panic, the police dispatched a skilled team to investigate. Among them was the young and capable officer, Ye Qiu.
With her sharp short hair and keen eyes, Ye Qiu was known for her decisive actions. She scoffed at concepts like "feng shui" and "Gua Shu," dismissing them as remnants of feudal superstition.
However, when she investigated Mr. Li's home, she discovered that things were not so straightforward. The Li family’s mental state had noticeably improved, and their home had returned to its former tranquility—all thanks to a young man named Su Mu.
Ye Qiu approached Su Mu directly and expressed her suspicions: “Su Mu, we received a report claiming that the Li family is experiencing a ‘Haunting.’ What have you been doing since you arrived here?”
Su Mu calmly replied, “Mr. Li's home is not haunted; rather, there was an issue with the feng shui layout that disrupted the home's energy field, affecting the family's physical and mental health. Based on the records in the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual, I adjusted their feng shui and prescribed some remedies for their health. They have now returned to normal.”
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, skepticism evident in her gaze. “Feng shui? Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual? Are you trying to talk to me about metaphysics?”
Su Mu smiled faintly. “Feng shui is not metaphysics; it is an ancient wisdom regarding the relationship between natural environments and human habitation. It shares common ground with modern science. As for the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual, it contains knowledge not only about medicine but also about feng shui, Gua Shu, and many other areas.”
As he spoke, Su Mu took out an ancient thread-bound book from his bag—it was indeed the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual. He opened a page and pointed to the intricate patterns and text. “Look here; this records the connection between house layouts and human health. Different layouts can affect various organs and meridians…”
Ye Qiu stared at the incomprehensible text and patterns before her. Though still skeptical, Su Mu's confidence and composure began to sway her perspective. She decided to visit Mr. Li's home herself.
At Mr. Li's residence, Ye Qiu meticulously observed the layout of the house and inquired about the family's experiences. The gratitude expressed by Mr. Li's family towards Su Mu was palpable; their firsthand experience of change compelled Ye Qiu to reconsider her views.
After leaving Mr. Li's house, Ye Qiu fell into deep thought. Although she still couldn't fully grasp what Su Mu meant by "feng shui" and "Medical Compendium," she sensed that this young man seemed to harbor a power she did not understand. She had a vague feeling that Su Mu might indeed help her unravel the mysteries of other haunting cases.
"Su Mu," Ye Qiu said, her tone shifting from skepticism to curiosity, "can you investigate the other cases like you did with Mr. Li's, step by step?"
Su Mu looked at Ye Qiu, a glimmer of profound insight flashing in his eyes. "Perhaps, but each case is different. I need to see them in person to be certain."
Thus, Su Mu and Ye Qiu—one well-versed in ancient medicine and feng shui, the other adhering to modern scientific principles of criminal investigation—began their first collaboration due to these bizarre haunting events.
In the following days, Su Mu accompanied Ye Qiu as they visited several other families in the Suburban Villa Area that had reported strange occurrences. Each situation was unique, yet like Mr. Li's home, they all exhibited perplexing phenomena.
One household claimed to hear the cries of a baby every night, despite having no infants in the home; a thorough search yielded no clues. Su Mu discovered that directly beneath the master bedroom lay an abandoned underground water pipe that had been leaking for years, causing a buildup of negative energy that mimicked the sound of a baby crying.
Another family reported that their electrical appliances frequently malfunctioned for no reason and even caught fire. After inspection, Su Mu found serious issues with their electrical layout; aging wires combined with the influence of high-voltage power towers nearby created electromagnetic disturbances that led to the appliances' erratic behavior.
In yet another home, mysterious bloodstains appeared on the walls every night, refusing to wash away, sending chills down their spines.
After applying a special solution, Su Mu discovered that the stains were not human blood but rather a unique mineral that took on a blood-like color under certain lighting conditions. This mineral had seeped from the wall's paint, which traced back to the same Building Materials Company.
Using knowledge from the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual and his keen observational skills and reasoning abilities, Su Mu unraveled these seemingly haunting events one by one. Ye Qiu watched from the sidelines, her initial skepticism gradually transforming into admiration.
She began to realize that Su Mu was not a charlatan but rather someone with genuine special abilities.
However, as their investigation deepened, Su Mu discovered that these incidents were not isolated; they seemed to possess some subtle connection. All these households had used products from the same Building Materials Company, which appeared to conceal an even greater secret…
"These events are too coincidental," Su Mu said to Ye Qiu. "I suspect someone is deliberately creating these 'strange occurrences.'"
"Are you saying someone is playing tricks?" Ye Qiu asked.
"I can't rule out that possibility," Su Mu pondered. "But it could also be that someone is using feng shui and some special materials to create these phenomena, with the aim of..."
Su Mu did not continue, as a bold guess suddenly formed in his mind. However, this speculation was too far-fetched; he needed more evidence to confirm it.
"What is it?" Ye Qiu pressed.
Su Mu looked at Ye Qiu, a serious glint in his eyes. "I suspect they might be conducting some kind of experiment..."
"An experiment?" Ye Qiu was even more confused. "What kind of experiment?"
Su Mu did not answer but instead gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and far-reaching. The Suburban Villa Area was shrouded in mist, as if hiding countless secrets, waiting for them to uncover...
