Chapter 36: Just a Haunted House

The real estate agent in a black suit carried a bag and led Shi Jinzhe and Shehe into a high-ceilinged house.

"Take a look at this house. The floor height is just right. It is tall, wide and bright. The large French windows facing south are perfect for sunbathing in the winter. The decoration style is very elegant. You can move in right away once you decide on it."

Shi Jinzhe knocked on the window: "Is this glass transparent on one side?"

"Yes, didn't you ask for a neighborhood with good privacy, few people, and a quiet environment?"

The agent pushed open a few bedroom doors and said, "You can take a closer look. The owner is out of the country and has only lived in the house for a few days. He just put it up for rent after the renovation. All the conditions are very suitable. Although the price is a little expensive, the owner has taken care of the property, water and electricity, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Can it be cheaper?" The rent is 17,000 yuan a month. The environment of this community is indeed very good, but the location is very average, even remote. At this price, the commission of the agent is not low.

The young man looked embarrassed and said, "It's already very low. This community has very high configurations. Although its location is a bit bad, there is a large forest park behind it. The air is very good and people living there are comfortable. There is also a supermarket in front, so daily needs can be met."

He glanced at Sheh and said, "If we want to be healthy, we have to have certain requirements for the environment, right? This is quiet, very suitable for her to take care of her body, and she can also go to the park when she has nothing to do."

Shi Jinzhe lowered his head and asked Sheh, "What do you think? Do you want to live here?"

Sheh held onto the wall. She liked the big window, but the walls were a nuisance. Any of the four rooms would be crowded for her to stay in, and living in this room would be no different from living in her previous small room.

"I want a bigger room without these walls."

The young man was a little distressed. "The owner of this house doesn't allow any changes to the layout. If I want a bigger room, I have to find someone who replans the interior and connects the rooms."

"Then do you have an agent who can help me?" Shi Jinzhe really liked this house. It was quiet and remote, with high ceilings and was very clean. He thought about it and said, "I know the company has to take a cut of your fees. Please help me find a similar house according to this requirement. We won't go through the company. I will give you all the agency fees directly."

The young man's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, "To tell you the truth, there is indeed one, it's in the neighborhood next door, but there are some problems with that house, we didn't dare to buy it when we put it up to the real estate agency."

Shi Jinzhe was curious: "What's the problem? Someone died?"

"Yes, there was a murder case, a couple died tragically, and you can still see the relevant news on your phone. If you want to go and see it, I can call the owner and go to see the house."

The guy wanted to use his mobile phone to show the photos, but then he remembered that he had deleted them at that time because he thought it was unlucky, so he could only introduce them verbally.

"Except for the load-bearing walls, all the rooms in that house are connected. It's very transparent. The room type is similar to this one, with a large French window that also lets light in from one side, so you can't see inside from the outside."

As soon as he heard the call was connected, Sheh became interested: "I want to go."

She likes large spaces without obstructions and where she can stretch her tail out without too many walls.

"Then please take us to have a look." Shi Jinzhe didn't care whether anyone had died or not. It was not like he had never seen a ghost. If there were any, there were only two, so it was no big deal.

The real estate agent didn't expect that the two were actually willing to go to the haunted house, so he happily called the landlord and promised to pay him a reward if the house was really rented out.

The house was in the next neighborhood, and the owner, a man in his fifties, arrived very quickly.

"You know the situation of the house, right? I won't hide it from you. It happened a year ago. We had three tenants, none of whom lived there for more than a month. They all said they heard a man and a woman fighting in the middle of the night."

He kept complaining and was full of resentment. The house price plummeted after the accident, and the neighbors thought it was unlucky and moved out one after another over the past year.

While people sympathized with him as a landlord for this incident, they also talked about how he should not have agreed to let the couple move in in the first place, which affected the housing prices of the entire building and even the entire community.

Shi Jinzhe held Shehe's hand and asked, "Is there anything special here?"

Shehe shook his head. There were many bloodstains splattered on the wall covered by the new paint, but there was no ghost. The temperature in the house was a little low, not because of the coldness brought by ghosts, but because of the lack of human presence.

The whole house is open from north to south. Except for the bathroom, there is no enclosed bedroom in the whole house. With the semi-open kitchen, you can see to the end of the house at a glance.

In addition, Sheh also saw several steel pipes in front of the window, "What are those?"

"One of the tenants did this. It seems he does live fitness broadcasts and he specially prepared these things."

Sheh reached out and gripped the steel pipe, it was solid and could be used to build her own tail, she liked it.

She looked out the window. If she stayed here, she could also enjoy the forest park outside through the window.

The trees in autumn are yellow and green, with a few red maple leaves, and the scenery is very beautiful.

The landlord said frankly: "There are not many furnitures in this house, and I won't ask you for more money. If you rent it for one year, the annual rent is 4000 yuan. If it is a monthly rent of yuan, one month deposit and one month payment, I will take care of the property for you, but you have to take care of the water, heating and network yourself."

This price was much lower than his psychological price for the discount, so he did not hesitate, confirmed that the landlord was the owner of the house, drafted an annual rental contract, signed and paid the money.

The landlord who gets the money is the happiest one. Although the rent is cheap, as long as someone is willing to move in, it proves that there is no problem with his house.

He handed the key to Shi Jinzhe and said, "If you want to change the combination lock or fingerprint lock, you have to tell me. If you need anything else, you can call me. If you want to move in, you can move in today."

Shi Jinzhe got the contract and gave the money to the agent, and the new house was settled.

The young man had never seen anyone carry so much cash in a backpack, and he sighed: "I haven't seen cash in a long time."

“I just came back from Africa and I don’t know how to use mobile payment.”

Shi Jinzhe made an excuse to deal with it, took Shehe back to the old house to pack his luggage, and moved into the haunted house that night.

Shehe was full and satisfied, so she hung her tail up. She found a comfortable position and lay on the sofa with her tail hanging down.

“Why is the number for this house so low?”

"Because someone died here, people don't want to live here, so the price is cheap."

"Will it be cheaper if someone has died?" Sheh couldn't forget the big villa he had seen on his phone before. An idea suddenly occurred to him, "Then can I buy it now if I see one I like?"

"Sure, but I don't have any money." Shi Jinzhe wiped the cabinet calmly, "If I can complete the game many times and get more points, you can exchange it for a big villa."

You are not the only one who is short of points. There are plenty of opportunities to exchange them for money. Don't worry about the lack of market.

"Oh."

Sheh wilted. She remembered that the house had nine digits. How many games would it take to play enough of them?
