Chapter 161: Contact
Xiao Zhi stood at the door and thought for a while, put on his coat, and walked in the direction they were going, but it was only a distance of more than two hundred meters, and after a little walk, he saw the old mansion......
The house is quite large, at least much larger than his house.
Now that the paranormal investigators Warren and his wife have arrived, the Perron family who live in it must have been tormented by fear and are about to collapse.
Cai Meow lay on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, and his brows furrowed: "This house looks much more evil than in the movie, Xiao Zhijun shouldn't be too careless." ”
Walking up the steps, Xiao Zhi raised his hand and knocked on the door panel, and soon the door opened, it was the male host, Roger, who looked a little sluggish: "It turned out to be you, may I ask if there is anything wrong, I have a little trouble at home today, I'm afraid I can't entertain you." ”
Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand and stroked the head of Cai Meow on his shoulder and said, "Mr. Roger, you are the closest neighbor to my family around here, it is better to talk to the neighbor if you have any troubles, so that your heart is better." ”
Roger and Xiao Zhi have never met a few times, and they don't use the word familiar to describe their relationship. He looked at the sincerity in Xiao Zhi's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Come in and sit down, as long as you don't dislike it, I'm willing to find someone to talk about these unfortunate things." ”
Entering the house, the paranormal investigators Warren and his wife were looking around, and Caroline, the hostess of the living room, was sitting there looking a little depressed, but Xiao Zhi's arrival still made her try to squeeze out a smile.
Roger looked at everything in this house, and his whole person was full of anxiety.
He was a truck driver who was responsible for transporting goods on various routes, and after buying the house in Rhode Island and renovating it, his career seemed to have been affected by some force, and the business on each route was cancelled or replaced by other drivers. For the sake of this family, two adults and seven mouths, he had to lower the price to seek a new route, otherwise let alone support his family, and even the insurance premium for the truck in the coming year would not be able to pay!
This can already be said to be a low point in his career, and he should have gritted his teeth and worked hard to get through, but who knew that the house he bought from the bank turned out to be a haunted house. He regretted it, but he couldn't move if he wanted to, because almost all the money was used to buy a house and renovate it, and no one else outside could take in the family of seven for a long time......
When he said this, he seemed very distressed, because when the house was haunted and the safety of his family was not guaranteed, where was he in the mood to go out and run a car.
Xiao Zhi listened to what he said quietly, and his heart did not fluctuate, not cold-blooded and ruthless.
But in the real world, there are too many people like Roger, there are office workers, workers, migrant workers, service industries, and so on, and it can be said that one in twenty is facing an underestimated career. Although their homes are not haunted, they have to face more terrible things than hauntings, marriage, houses, cars, faces, and so on.
Smack, there's an extra stack of bills on the table.
Xiao Zhi said lightly: "Mr. Roger is a responsible person, I appreciate it, since you are engaged in this industry, you can use your talents to build a team and make more and more stable money." Start-up capital or something, I can invest in shares as a founder, and you just need to work hard and be responsible. ”
Roger and Caroline were shocked by Xiao Zhi, who looked like a mediocre-looking young Asian who spoke in such a loud tone......
Xiao Zhi pushed the stack of money on the table: "The first time I visited, I didn't know what gifts the children liked, so I just let the children go to the store to choose their own gifts." ”
Roger was startled, there was at least 10,000 yuan of money on the table, and he couldn't imagine that any neighbor would come to visit and give a 10,000 banknote as a gift, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. Xiao Zhi smiled: "You're welcome, I'm still quite rich, and it's useless for you to refuse, because the gifts given in my hometown are not recycled." ”
Caroline knew her husband Roger's current situation, she pursed her lips and reached out to take the money: "Thank you Mr. Xiao Zhi, I don't know how to express my gratitude, anyway, thank you." ”
As he spoke, the Warrens walked in through the main gate, and Roger was stunned for a moment, then reacted to the fact that they had walked out of the back door and made a big circle. Mr. and Mrs. Warren, wife Rowling Warren, said with a serious face: "The situation here is not very good, that thing has been following you since we first came in and saw you...... It's like a shadow. ”
Caroline was a little panicked when she heard this: "Then what should I do, the children can't be hurt!" ”
Rowling looked down and thought for a moment, looked at her husband Ed Warren for advice, and her husband Ed muttered and said: "Since the existence of a powerful supernatural object has been confirmed, we can only ask Father Gordon to help, before that, all we can do is wait, hey, there is further investigation to see what the true face and origin of that thing is......"
Caroline was a little disappointed.
She originally expected the couple of supernatural investigators to solve the supernatural in the old mansion while investigating, but she didn't expect to wait.
At this moment, Rowling's eyes fell on Cai Meow, who was lying on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, and she let out a surprised sigh: "What a strange cat, it doesn't seem to be like any cat breed I know, it's more like some kind of ceramic cat ornament used to attract fortune in Asia......"
Her words made everyone's eyes fall on Cai Meow, and it was really like this, the cat must be a cat, but it is ...... It looks like an ordinary cat, but if you look closely, it will become stranger and stranger.
Caroline's five daughters came out of the room, and they saw Xiao Zhi's wealth meow for the first time: "Wow, what a cute fat cat, I want to hug ......"
Cai Meow turned his head disdainfully.
The second daughter really likes its shape, and she came up and stretched out her hand to hug it, but as soon as she picked up Cai Meow, she staggered back seven or eight steps, and Cai Meow fell off her hand, flipped in the air, and her limbs fell steadily to the ground without making a sound. The second daughter was full of shock: "This cat is so heavy!" ”
Just kidding, copper skin and iron bones, at least fifty or sixty pounds, okay?
Xiao Zhi smiled, and his shoulders made the cat lie on his stomach as a sandbag, and he doubled his daily exercise.
Rowling seemed to be very interested in Cai Meow: "This gentleman, what breed of cat is it?" ”
Xiao Zhi shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know very well, it was picked up in the school stadium, it is more edible and heavier, and there is nothing special about it." ”
Rowling wanted to hug Cai Meow, but Cai Meow jumped up, climbed up the door panel, flew off the wall, and landed on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, posing as a gesture of refusing to hug......
Rowling expressed a little regret: "Okay, in that case, I won't bother, the situation here is serious, we will go back to Connecticut first to ask the priest for help, and we should come over again to collect information." ”
The couple left the old house, and the husband Ed stepped on the accelerator and drove along the path: "Rowling, I remember that you are not very interested in cats, is there a problem with the cat just now?" ”
