You Owe Me, My Love

“People have often heard the voice of a woman inside this castle. Sometimes, it is the sound of sexual moaning. Occasionally, it sounded like screaming from being brutally tortured. Other times, it sounded like sad weeping. Every so often, it sounded like creepy laughter from a female ghost.” The policeman said.

Leng Qiuzun’s assistant shivered, “Stop saying that, you’re making me scared now.”

“Did all these start happening before or after the teens went missing?” Bai Rong asked calmly.

“It should be around the same time. The group of teens had gone exploring inside after hearing about the rumors and they all ended up dead except one, but he had gone crazy.” The policeman sighed.

“How many of them went inside?” Bai Rong continued.

“There were three in total but two of them went missing. We’ve searched the entire place but found no traces of them.”

“Did you find any bloodstains on the floor?” Leng Qiuzun asked.

The policeman shook his head, “No, that’s why it became a haunted castle. No one dared go near it, let alone enter.”

“If it’s so dangerous, why hasn’t it been demolished?” Leng Qiuzun’s assistant asked.

“That castle is an intangible cultural heritage.” The policeman explained.

“How is that possible? I’ve seen the castle. It has a European design, so how could it have been classified as an intangible cultural heritage?” Assistant Leng was confused.

“There is a legend about this castle. Once upon a time, there was an emperor who hired an artist named Castiglione from another country. Castiglione was also an expert in architecture. There was a eunuch in the palace who was very rich. When he wanted to retire and leave the palace, he spent a lot of money on buying architectural drawings from Castiglione. The eunuch was from Pingyan and had built a castle in Pingyan after returning to his city. According to the legend, there are many treasures from the palace in this castle and many have gone in to find them, but no one was able to find anything.” The policeman explained.

“It’s been so many years now and the castle should’ve collapsed by now, right? So, why is this one still standing and in decent condition?” Assistant Leng asked doubtfully.

“The castle’s owner has repaired it many times. It’s strange how the government had taken over this castle as an intangible cultural heritage after the mysterious death of the owner and has kept it till this day.”

After the policeman finished talking, Assistant Leng seemed to have understood the situation as she turned to ask Leng Qiuzun in a terrified voice, “This castle wouldn’t actually be haunted, would it?”
