Pollution throughout the territory - #325 - Chapter 321 Haunted House
After checking out of the hotel, Xia Ren and the others followed the address provided by Li Wan and went to a community near Dongpu University of Science and Technology.
The snow has begun to fall heavily, but because there is no wind, the weather is not bad, but makes people feel interesting.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, Xia Ren saw a man in a suit holding an umbrella, standing motionless on the roadside. White snow covered the umbrella with a thick layer, and the original color of the umbrella could no longer be seen. , indicating that the other party has maintained this posture and waited here for a long time.
“What a strange man.”
Qin Yun said something.
Xia Ren just glanced at the man and did not pay more attention to the man. Unexpectedly, when he was about to pass by the man, the man raised his umbrella slightly.
“Mr. Xia.”
shouted the other party.
Go this way at the same time.
Xia Ren thought to himself that he had just arrived in Dongpu City not long ago, where did his acquaintance come from? He turned his head in confusion and found that the other person was the young man wearing glasses who had followed Li Wan in the morning.
“It’s you.”
The young man was handsome, smiled calmly, and said, “Captain Li asked me to wait here and introduce the house to you. My name is Li Yibai.”
“Hello.”
Xia Ren greeted him, a little uncomfortable with this kind of preferential treatment, “We can just go and see the house ourselves, we won’t be able to live there for long.”
Li Yibai said: “You have just arrived here and are not familiar with the area. If I am here, you may be able to give me some help.”
“That’s okay.”
Xia Ren no longer refused. The other party was also from the foundation and should not have any ill intentions towards him.
They entered the community together and on the way to the house, Li Yibai introduced them to the tourist attractions and bus routes in Dongpu City.
“There are frequent traffic jams on some roads in Dongpu City. Taking the subway or bus is faster and more convenient than taking a taxi most of the time.”
Jupiter City, where Xia Ren was before, was not as prosperous as Dongpu City, and the bus system was not very complete, so he couldn’t help but feel a bit fresh.
And when they took a taxi back to the hotel from the hospital, they were indeed stuck in traffic for a while.
After not walking far, under the leadership of Li Yibai, they came to a residential building and took the elevator to the sixteenth floor.
“This house is.”
Li Yibai took out the key and was about to open the door when he saw a woman with permed curly hair and a dignified temperament walking out of the elevator.
Seeing a few people, the woman looked a little surprised.
She walked to the door next door, still looking at a few people, and finally couldn’t help but ask: “Are you…”
Qin Yun replied: “We have just moved here and will live here for a while. Sister, are you the neighbor next door?”
The woman nodded and said in a somewhat puzzled tone: “But I remember this house isn’t…”
Halfway through her words, when she saw Li Yibai in a suit, she immediately understood something: “Are you planning to rent this house?”
“So be it.”
Qin Yun smiled.
Hearing this answer, the woman frowned, looked at Li Yibai, and said in an unhappy tone: “How can you agents be so unkind, even renting out this kind of house?”
This kind of house?
Xia Ren and others were a little confused.
“What happened to this house?” Qin Yun asked.
“Are you foreigners? You probably don’t know that this house is a haunted house. After the previous owner committed suicide by burning charcoal in it, he also rented it out. However, those tenants did not stay for more than two days. They all slept for one night. , the next day they said it was haunted, so they moved out quickly, and it was even on the news. Everyone in this community knew about it, and no one dared to live here anymore. It has only been around for half a year.”
After the woman finished explaining, she looked at Li Yibai, probably thinking that he was an intermediary.
It turns out that this house also has this story.
Xia Ren didn’t mind this, and he even liked this kind of “haunted” place. After all, if there were really infected people inside, he could still earn some achievement points.
The woman said angrily: “He certainly didn’t tell you that this was a haunted house. Didn’t he intentionally harm you?”
“We know.” Xia Ren said.
“ah?”
The woman didn’t respond: “Since you know, then you still…”
Xia Ren said lightly: “Young people are bold and like to play exciting things. Thank you for reminding us, but don’t worry about us. It’ll be fine.”
He said with a confident smile, and he did not look afraid at all.
The woman wanted to say something more, but looking at his face, she suddenly felt at a loss for words.
“Then if you encounter any problems, you can come to me. I live here. You can also stay at night. I usually don’t go to bed until eleven or twelve.”
As soon as Xia Ren opened his mouth, Qin Yun interrupted: “Yes, thank you sister for your concern.”
The word “sister” is a bit harsh.
The woman glanced at Xia Ren again before walking into her house.
I always feel that there is a bit of sourness in the air.
Xia Ren felt that what Qin Yun just said was a bit jealous, but he didn’t dare to ask.
Everyone walked into the room. It must have been tidied up recently. The floor was spotless. There was a smell of freshener in the air. The living room was relatively spacious. The balcony window was half open, probably for ventilation.
Li Yibai explained: “What the eldest sister just said was right. There was a form of ghost here before, but we have successfully dealt with it, and the pollution has been completely eliminated. Now it is no different from an ordinary house.”
Liu Xiuxiu told Xia Ren that in the foundation, the word “gui” is still used to refer to infected bodies and aberrant bodies. According to the system’s standards, ghosts in one form are the first and second types of infected bodies, and ghosts in the second form are There are three types of infected bodies. As for the three forms of ghosts, they are aberrations.
And what Niu Changshou said at noon should be correct. The foundation does make money from real estate. As long as there are pollution incidents, after the foundation intervenes in the investigation, the property will change hands directly, such as this house.
The basic daily necessities in the room are already prepared, even vegetables and fruits are available, so there is no need to go out to buy them.
After Li Yibai introduced the functions of each room, he said goodbye and left.
“Are we still going to the school to have a look?”
Qin Yun put things into the bedroom and came to the living room.
Xia Ren leaned on the sofa, glanced at the falling snow outside the balcony, and said, “It’s almost four o’clock now, and it’s still snowing outside. Don’t worry about this day, let’s go tomorrow.”
“Um.”
Qin Yun responded and walked into the kitchen.
There was one more person in the house, and the appetite was huge. She had to think about what to eat for dinner.
There was no study room in this house, so Xia Ren took out his laptop and put it on the coffee table, planning to code out a chapter or two and try not to consume the manuscript.
Lily ran around on the floor with her bare feet, probably measuring which route would save the most time in cleaning.
Ever since she saw an advertisement for a sweeping robot on TV a few days ago, she began to feel that the previous cleaning route of rolling around casually was not clean, so she asked Qin Yun to find more videos of the sweeping robot for her to watch. ,Enhance learning.
Lu Yi was the only one with nothing to do, but she was like a vending machine, so she wouldn’t feel bored even if she stood in one place for a day.
Xia Ren himself may not have noticed that their group’s ability to adapt to the environment is somewhat beyond the scope of ordinary people.
In the evening, when the snow had not stopped, Niu Changshou called and invited Xia Ren to go to the hospital.
Nighttime is when symptoms of atypical entomophobia occur.
