Aunt Zhang made a troubled face: “It’s not auntie here trying to take advantage of you, but… Dawn my boy, do you know this house is haunted? Last night my husband was in the toilet, and…. he saw a hand reaching up from the floorboard! He was so scared that he didn’t even have time to pull his pants up and fled. You see? How can we put up with living conditions like this?”

The young landlord got all quiet after that explanation. This wasn’t the first time a tenant had said his home was haunted. The prior five families all left for this very same reason. As a result, his income had suffered tremendously in the past six months due to the lack of renters. Now only Aunt Zhang and her husband remains, meaning if they leave too then he’s out of income!

Seeing that Dawn did not speak, Aunt Zhang figured her words are too hurtful and took the initiative to help: “I’m sorry, but no matter what me and my husband can’t continue to live here. We will take a step back on the deposit. You refund half of it to me and my family will move out today.”

Dawn knew he couldn’t change the other party’s mind when they were so resolute. Sighing inwardly, he doesn’t resist and gently nods in agreement. He’s young and with property, meaning he’s technically wealthy and considered to be carefree based on these assets. However, these recent incidents with his home being haunted had caused his rental income to plummet down to zero.

Without income, plus a new university graduate, Dawn was as poor as it comes. In fact, his pocket was cleaner than his own face!

It was past noon after sending away Aunt Zhang’s family. Hungry, he casually brewed up a bowl of instant ramen for his tummy and locked himself away inside the bedroom. For a while, he felt a little lonely like there’s no one to turn to.

“Everyone’s gone now….. Stop dwelling on this Dawn you idiot, no use crying over spilled milk. Get yourself together and go clean. What if the next renter comes and see your home is dirty? Oh right, there’s an old vacuum inside the storage room.” Patting the filled stomach, he mumbles something and lumbers towards said storage.

Pushing open the wooden door, then waving off the gathered dust in the air, he takes a step back to let things settle. This storage room was hardly used by anyone. Aside from some broken and old furniture he stashed away, there are all sorts of miscellaneous stuff as well. In fact, toys from when Dawn used to be a child were still well preserved in here.

“It’s been so many years…” Dawn shakes his head to remove the old memories of him and his parents spending time here in this home. Focusing back on the job at hand, he took out a large cardboard box from the corner and began wiping each piece before placing it on the floor.

This cleaning process continued until he reached the bottom where he found a round glowing pendant. However, instead of a faint illumination that one would expect, it’s flickering on and off like a pulsating heart.

“What’s going on? Why did it suddenly light up? A supernatural phenomenon?”

Dawn was shocked because he could vaguely remember this trinket. About four or five years old, he already had this thing in his possession and didn’t notice anything special about it. In fact he’s played with it like any other toy back in the day. But like all toys, once the novelty expired, he quickly tossed it aside in a corner.

Picking it up with a wary face, he found it cold to the touch as he inspected the item. Then suddenly, lines of words appeared from within the pendant that’s smaller than even an ant. Reasonably speaking, Dawn would have no way to read these letters due to their size, but the magic from within this trinket allowed him to understand everything in an instant like it’s in his head.
