The "mask" says that the house is far away from this elevator shaft, almost diagonally, for unknown reasons, the light here is a little dim, a double door, and the second floor of the house is a row of windows, and it is pitch black.

The mask opened the door with the key and said, "Go in and see?" His tone was rather hurried.

When I went inside, I was once again struck by the fact that the furniture in the room was all in the medieval style depicted in magazines, which seemed to be unique. The room has five bedrooms, two halls, divided into two floors, connected by a wooden spiral staircase, and the skyscraper's exhaust system is still functioning, although it has been uninhabited for a long time, it still has fresh air.

I passed by a mottled glass mirror, and suddenly I saw the shadow of a woman flashing behind me, her eyes and mouth were red. I was taken aback, and when I looked back, it turned out to be a very realistic portrait, which looked like it was some years old.

The mask looked around and said, "Let's go out and talk, ahem, it's a little deserted here, but when your family moves in, it's lively." ”

I laughed and said, "That's true." ”

When we came to the house, I realized that there were no shops or houses next to the house, the nearest one was one hundred and fifty meters away, and there was a screen blocking the way. Mask invited me to a so-called coffee shop and invited me to a drink called coffee, watching in amazement as I put five sugar cubes into my cup.

The mask said, "You... It's new. ”

I thought to myself, "I can't let him look down on me." So he smiled and said: "The new is coming, I am very rich, I invited this meal." ”

The mask said, "No, I insist that I please, are you hungry?" So I ordered some more snacks, I had never tasted such a fresh and sweet pastry in my life, and I almost devoured one bite at a time. But I remembered that I was in a noble place, so I observed the manners of the people around me and carefully learned them.

The mask said, "Are you married?" ”

A sense of superiority came over me, and I smiled, "Yes, my wife is beautiful, virtuous, and famous. ”

The mask said, "Is it newly married or has been married for a long time?" ”

I said, "Tonight is the wedding ceremony." ”

"Then we have to hurry, what wedding gift is better than a bright, spacious, and ingenious house?" Now even a commoner man with less than 30 floors of a skyscraper wants to marry a young girl, and he must have at least a house of 20 square meters, let alone a beautiful woman as outstanding as your wife? ”

I didn't know there was such a rule.

The mask said, "Your wife didn't tell you about this unwritten custom, but she was gentle and considerate. But if you think she won't be pointed at for this, you're very wrong. Do you want to rent a house? Do you want to spend your whole life with your beloved wife worrying about the mood of the landlord? Why do you want to live that kind of life? An outstanding hero like you deserves that mansion. A man, a great man, if he wants to live in the world, how can he have no place to live? ”

I think what he said is very reasonable, yes, I asked me to rent a house to live in, and said that 20 million can be rented for 20 years. But since you can have your own territory, why bother to confess to others aggrieved? How could I miss such a great opportunity? What's more, the people in the skyscraper must be very generous and refreshing to do business, otherwise they will be despised.

I said, "How much?" ”

Mask asked, "How many do you have?" ”

I said, "Twenty million credit." ”

Mask grunted in his throat, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Deal!" Before I could react, he had already taken my hand and took out the documents from his briefcase, large and small, and told me where to sign them.

I had a little doubt and asked, "I can't be the only one who buys this house." ”

A drop of cold sweat swept across the mask's cheeks, but he immediately smiled: "I won't hide it from you, it's true that you're the only one." ”

I suddenly became unusually hesitant.

The mask said: "There are two reasons for this, the first is that even among the 30th to 50th floors, there are very few rich people who can come up with two million gold dollars at once, and those who can have such pride must be rich and noble, either now or in the future. ”

I laughed, thinking I was that kind of person. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but if you lose face, it will not be easy to do.

The mask said: "Second, the middle class of skyscrapers is not a cowardly and fearful person. Faced with such a large investment, they believe that it is too risky and therefore discouraged. Only the most shrewd and far-sighted heroes can have such the courage to spend a lot of money and act recklessly. ”

I think he's right.

The skyscraper is a pure lamb, and I am a wise shepherd.

They have been comfortable for too long, forgetting the truth that if the world does not advance, it will retreat. They dwell in this secluded place, so that they are inwise and short-sighted. What about me? I'm from the outside world on the line of life and death. I'm too smart for the vast majority of people here, and there's a dimensional gap between the two.

What they dare not buy, I dare to buy, and without hesitation, it is such a bold act, which is enough to impress them and admire.

I exclaimed, "Isn't it just 20 million?" Deal. "I deliberately let everyone hear it, and bathed in their envious eyes, my happiness was taken to the next level.

The mask wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue and said, "Sir, you are so.... That's great. When I met you, it was like a long drought and a rainstorm, and a dead tree would meet spring again. ”

Mask looked at the deposit slip of the Mercury Firm, and he rejoiced, "Really! Let's go through the formalities! ”

We arrived on the 35th floor, where the middle-level real estate bureau was located, and it was also full of people, and the officials behind the glass windows worked slowly and leisurely, and those who were waiting to rent and buy houses were sad and uneasy. Mask didn't know where to go, and we made it to the front of the line.

A rather fat female clerk asked, "You want to buy a thirty-story mansion of Henry Peats?" Her eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly.

That must be awe.

I said calmly and gracefully, "Yes." ”

The mask rushed to say, "And it's the full amount." ”

The clerkess said, "I have to remind you of the actual value of this house..."

The mask said loudly: "The actual value is higher!" I wouldn't sell it unless I had to! He coughed again and again, and a man in a suit appeared behind the clerk and whispered a few words to her, and the female clerk sighed and quickly completed the relevant documents for us.

Mask handed me the key and a copy of the so-called "property certificate", and he said, "Sir, you are really my great benefactor, goodbye, and I wish you a happy life." ”

I said, "What you say is really unlucky. ”

The mask said he was in a hurry, and walked quickly into the elevator, I don't know how many floors he went. But by this time, I was so excited that I hurried back to the thirtieth floor to see my new mansion. If I told Lamia about it, she would have been ecstatic for us. In the future, I will definitely have more wealth, but this Henry Peats mansion has a special meaning for me.

It was my first stronghold in heaven, the place where I set out on my journey.

Suddenly my voice came to my head, she said, "I noticed that the account I gave you was empty, and the transfer went to the real estate bank, and then it was cashed out. ”

I laughed, "That mask is so fast." ”

After a moment of silence, he said, "I also noticed that you bought the Henry Péts mansion?" ”

I laughed aloud and said, "This is my courage, my handiwork, my little princess, please do not praise me for my wisdom and determination." ”

Lack of Jia said: "The price of this house is 100,000 yuan, and no one will live in it, even if it is discounted." ”

I said angrily: "Don't make such a bad joke, such a nice house, on such a good floor, how...."

"This is the case, there have been deaths and 'ghosts' in this house, and it is not groundless, but a real case, the number of which is twenty," said Lacka. None of the decades-old guests lived more than one night. Investigators were not spared. Even if they tried to steal and sell the furniture inside, they were cursed because of rumors, and no one took over it. ”

My legs and feet were weak, and before I knew it, I was covered in cold sweat and sat down in the coffee shop that I had been before.

"People who are new to the world like you are the most deceived. You have met no more than a hundred people in your life, and the inhabitants of the black coffin are worried about their livelihood all day long, either calculating others or being calculated. ”

My throat was dry and I asked, "You... Why didn't you remind me sooner? ”

"I was so busy with business that I didn't care about you for a while, and I didn't think you would make a mistake." ”

I was furious and said, "Where is this mask?" Can you track him? ”

"The evidence shows that he left the middle level five minutes ago and went to the lower level, which lacks surveillance devices and is no longer traceable," he said. Moreover, the formalities of the transaction are complete and cannot be prosecuted. ”

I think of the two people in the real estate bureau, they must have received the benefit of the mask! I may not be able to find the mask, but the two men can't.

"It's better not to act recklessly, if you do this, once you are in prison, it will not be easy to bail you out," he said. ”

I pursed my lips and asked, "Laca, my friend, can you give me another 20 million?" ”

He said, "Don't think about it." ”

This cold world, this cold cyborg, is really cold and desperate.

I found a small envelope containing a thousand gold dollars in the pile of papers that the mask had given me, and a small note: "Live well, don't go home after five o'clock, it's haunted, it's going to be dead, don't be iron." ”

The inscription is a mask.

I was so angry that I almost tore the envelope.

I sorted out my thoughts and felt that I was not at the end of the road, at least I had a property, and in the skyscraper, I could live in it until I couldn't pay my taxes. And I still have a thousand gold dollars, at least I can live for a month, not to mention that the rangers are paid, and besides, I eat soft rice, so I don't have to worry about my livelihood.

It's just that I can't calm down, and I can't do anything. She offered to sing to me in the hope of reinvigorating me, and I thought her singing was fitting in with my mansion.

Trembling, I opened the door to the mansion and slept on the couch, a hoax but a shelter for me. The sofa was spotless, not like it had been empty for a long time.
