Chapter 5 The Haunted House, The Shadow Killer (Part 2)
OK, today's second update, by the way, we have four or five double updates, so if there is a double update, it will definitely be in these two days. Usually, it is basically the first update. Unless I was very idle that day or I was so good that I dare not think about it, then double updates are also possible. Finally, I continue to ask for recommendation votes, and then the main text is...the above...
——————————————————————————————————
Early in the morning of the next morning, Qin Xiang, who opened his eyes, felt something was wrong. The strange touch came from his chest, and he always felt that he was pressed on his chest by a heavy rock. He was even having difficulty breathing.
(I'm going, is it the legendary ghost pressing the bed?!)
Before Qin Xiang could think of this in-depth question, he caught a soft moan in his ear.
“Mi…”
“…”
At this moment, Qin Xiang probably understood what was going on. He moved his eyes helplessly and moved his eyes to his chest. As a result, he happened to see Mia using the legendary octopus cross fixation method, tightly wrapped around his chest.
Qin Xiang's move to get up seemed to have affected Mia. The blonde loli frowned and opened her sleepy eyes slightly. After looking up at Qin Xiang, she decisively changed her posture, and then continued to fall down...
……………………
…………
...
"……Hello!!!"
Twenty minutes later, he tried his best to toss the dragon loli from his body. God knew that this person with thin arms and legs looked only one meter four, and his thin arms and legs would have such great strength. Qin Xiang's physical fitness is no longer bad now. He didn't even have any way to take Mia who was asleep. He is worthy of being a legendary race like the dragon. After Loli transforms into it, he also retains this terrifying strange power.
In short, Qin Xiang gave more than ten minutes of education to the loli with a drooping head and a sleepy face, and repeatedly warned her that she would never crawl onto other people's beds in the future. Although the little girl did nod her head in confusion, Qin Xiang was very suspicious whether she really understood what she meant.
At this moment, Qin Xiang finally understood how big a tragedy it was to language barriers, but no one could understand Mia's language at all. The radio waves were obviously not the frequency band of normal creatures. It is estimated that even if you find a real dragon, Mia's words might not be translated. At this moment, Qin Xiang could only cover his face in pain and sigh.
"Emma, it's really hard to be a guardian..."
Well, although these messy things took some time, Qin Xiang finally remembers that he had something to do today, so naturally it was impossible for Mia to let her run around. Until now, this little girl often stared at the jelly on Qin Xiang's shoulder and swallowed her saliva, so that Qin Xiang didn't dare to put his pet and the dragon loli alone, for fear that he would inexplicably lose the only nanny pet. So, a strange combination of one person, one dragon and one jelly, and two half creatures was just starting out carelessly.
Fortunately, this is Solancia Autonomous Prefecture, so such a strange combination did not attract any special attention. Qin Xiang followed the address left by Ruiliya yesterday and walked around East Street for an hour, and then passed through two streets and four or five dead ends, and found his destination.
This location is indeed no longer a "remote" to describe. Fortunately, Qin Xiang has no requirements for the location, and according to his idea, being remote is still a good thing, at least this will cause less trouble.
The girl Ruiliya was already waiting in front of the door early. This time, the girl was still wearing the plain long dress. When she saw Qin Xiang coming to the door, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the agreed time was nine o'clock in the morning, and I was only half an hour late. Compared with the previous tenants, the full score..."
Because the girl said it too seriously, Qin Xiang could hardly tell whether her words were really praise or just a simple joke. However, this seemed to show that the location of the house was indeed far-fetched enough that Qin Xiang, who was half an hour late to find the house, was found by the girl relatively quickly.
Perhaps because the place changed from the forest to the city, Qin Xiang's terrible road ignorance attribute did not show his power. In fact, even Qin Xiang himself felt strange. He never got lost in the city, but once he arrived in the deep mountains and forests, he became a road ignorant. I don't know what this is, intermittent road ignorant syndrome?
Well, I won’t think about him for the time being. Since the person has arrived, the next problem is to look at the house. First of all, we judge the appearance. It is indeed exactly the same as described in the previous manual. It is three stories high and has a backyard. The area is indeed large enough. There is no trace of particularly dilapidated on the outside of the house. Overall, there is no shortage except for the location being too biased. Even if the location is too biased, it is not a problem at all in the face of a price of ten gold per month, which is equivalent to free gifts.
Very good. The first impression made Qin Xiang unconsciously feel extremely bad, because no matter how he analyzed it from any angle, this house should never be the type that cannot be rented out, and it should be rushing to be rented. There must be some fatal reason to keep the house unattended.
"Well, it's the question I asked before. Is this house often dead or the feng shui wrong? Why is no one interested?"
Qin Xiang originally asked this question, and he didn't expect to get an answer. If you were a seller, would you honestly tell the question of your product? What business is there to do so honestly, but the girl seemed to not care about this at all. Instead, she calmly untied the key from her waist, reached out to open the door and turned around and spoke.
"Although I don't know, because I never had any problems when I moved in, according to the answers of the previous tenants, the house is...haunted..."
He still had an expression that was so calm that he said something that made people want to complain about? Damn... Haunted? This is another world, right? Why are there still haunted in this world where magic is rampant? Let’s not talk about whether there are really supernatural things like ghosts in this world. Even if there are really, for those who have mastered magic, is there something that is difficult to deal with? Let’s not talk about the others. No matter how powerful this ghost or something is, can it be better than the evil heart sword girl and the evil monster form Dinozolu?
Well, even Qin Xiang himself thinks it is a bit too much to use the Evil Heart Sword Girl and Di Nozolu as reference objects, but after all, what is the so-called haunted... what is the situation?
"That...haunted word means seeing something that shouldn't be seen or hearing something that shouldn't be heard?"
In response, Ruiliya, who opened the door, shook her shoulders and shook her head and responded.
"I don't know, none of the tenants in the previous house could last for a week. After that, I would rather pay me ten times the penalty for liquidated damages than continue to move in. When I asked the reason, I would only give me a weird reason of "haunted". I was unwilling to say anything else. After that, I tried to stay for a few days but found no problem. In this regard, I was very strange..."
After saying this, Qin Xiang, who was still confused, could only follow Ruiliya into the room helplessly and began to look at the inside of the room.
"Well, the first floor of this house was not used to live in people before, was it?"
The entire floor of the room was completely opened. No matter how you look at this layout, it doesn’t look like a distribution of people. Ruiliya simply nodded and made up this judgment.
"Well, this house used to be a grocery store run by my father. The first floor is a shop, and the second floor is the room for people to live. Of course, now the house is also abandoned and the grocery store has been closed long ago. Come with me and take you to see the rooms on the second floor."
There is indeed nothing to see on the first floor, so Qin Xiang also decisively followed Ruiliya's footsteps and came to the second floor. The layout here is a walkway separated from both sides, with three rooms on both sides. Then he saw Ruiliya pointing at these rooms very calmly.
"The rooms on the second floor are filled with debris and furniture. If you want to move in, you can clean them as you like. There is no valuable thing anyway. If you don't want it, it doesn't matter if I throw it away. But the organization will be left to you. I will not be responsible for helping..."
At that moment, Qin Xiang nodded silently. Although the girl was dressed simply, she had an unspeakable nobleness in her every move. It seemed that she should be the eldest lady of a rich family. Just as she said yesterday, she should not be short of money, so she didn't care about the things in the house. She just didn't want the house to be abandoned, so she wanted to find a few tenants to live in to make it popular.
"The room on the left of the third floor is the storage room on the right. It's probably just a little bit of it. Then, if there is no problem, here are the contract and... keys."
“…”
It seems that Ruiliya can't wait to rent out the house, and even the rental contract is ready. Moreover, the laws of the autonomous prefecture are completely waste paper, and the contract and other things are just a formality, so there is no need for filing at all. Just sign the two sides together and even if it officially takes effect, you can sign four or five contracts with a quick drink of tea.
After hesitating for two seconds, Qin Xiang nodded happily.
"I understand, then let's do it. Please give me more advice in the future, the landlord..."
After saying that, Qin Xiang reached out to take over the contract from Ruiliya.
———————————————
The key to the house has been obtained, and Ruiliya seems to be very satisfied with the new tenant. Qin Xiang herself is also very satisfied with the house that was almost free. After buying the key, Ruiliya left and left Qin Xiang to slowly organize the house alone, but before going out, she turned around as if she remembered something.
"Ah, the keys for all rooms in the house are here. Except for the warehouse in the backyard, which was originally used by my father to pile up goods, but the keys were lost. Well, that's all, everything else... If I think of it, I'll inform you, if... at that time you haven't run away like those tenants before."
After saying that, the young lady immediately turned around and left in a hurry, without asking about anything else. This made Qin Xiang not know what to say. However, no matter what, even though the house was rented, it was better than a hotel. It was finally considered that he had a place to settle down. At that moment, Qin Xiang rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to greet Mia beside him.
"From today, it will probably be our home for a long time, so... let's do some work and sort it out..."
After saying that, Qin Xiang silently held the key in his hand.
Chapter completed!
