Max drove the car, following Dan's vehicle, and they arrived at Dan's house when it was almost completely dark.
Max called Bettany, informing her that he would be late returning home and enduring her incessant nagging.
He found an opportunity to quickly end the call.
Dan lived in a relatively upscale neighborhood, in a row of townhouses.
Although it wasn't a standalone villa, the villa had three floors with a total area of just over a hundred square meters.
"Our house is on the first, second, and third floors, while the upper floors belong to other people. My parents are overseas, and I have another three-bedroom apartment in the same community."
Dan pointed to the tall building behind the same community, a high rise of about twenty to thirty floors.
"So, are we going to our place here or up there?" Lilly asked.
"Where do you usually live?" Dan replied.
"I usually live at my parents' place. I used to live in a three-bedroom apartment with my girlfriend. After she jumped off the building, I moved back here," Dan explained.
He had been encountering ghosts in this villa these past few days.
Lilly nodded and asked, "So when you almost jumped off, did you go up there?"
Dan nodded, "I was originally sleeping at home and somehow found myself walking out and going up there..."
"Then let's go there," Lilly suggested.
Dan hesitated and asked, "Can you help drive away the evil spirits in the three-bedroom apartment first, and then come back to drive away the evil spirits in the villa? I can pay extra!"
Lilly replied, "No need for that. As long as we capture your girlfriend, it doesn't matter whether we drive away the spirits here or not."
Dan remained silent.
Deep down, he didn't fully believe that Lilly could drive away ghosts.
That's why he made that request. After driving away the spirits in the three-bedroom apartment, he wanted to have the villa cleaned as well, which would provide him with some peace of mind...
But Dan didn't say anything and led Lilly and the others to the back of the high-rise, going upstairs and opening the door to his house.
The lights were off, and Josh felt a chilling atmosphere inside.
In the pitch-black doorway, they couldn't see anything inside, and it could be behind the door... and just there, standing behind the door, was the female spirit.
Josh gulped and said, "Lilly... If we reach in to turn on the lights, what if we accidentally touch his girlfriend's hand..."
Lilly shook her head, "Nonsense!"
Josh started to feel relieved.
But Lilly continued, "Josh, you can't even touch ghosts."
Josh was left speechless.
Dan's hand trembled as he retracted it in fear.
For a moment, no one turned on the lights.
Max coughed, "Dan, turn on the lights. This is your house, and we don't know where the switch is."
Drake didn't look away, thinking, Uncle Max, you're scared, just say it directly.
Lilly said, "Let me do it!"
With a swift motion, before they knew it, the light was turned on.
The room suddenly lit up, revealing a woman standing in the living room with disheveled hair, blood all over her face...
Josh exclaimed, "Ah! Holy crap!"
Reacting instinctively, he turned off the lights!
