"Second uncle, are you leaving? Don't invite me to a meal either? ”

Mu Chi stood in the hallway, surrounded by the suitcase he had just brought into the house. In front of him, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was wearing leather shoes and also carrying a heavy suitcase.

"Stinky boy, I'm already an hour late to wait for you, and I can't catch up with the plane if I drag it out." The second uncle scolded with a smile, "In the next two years, this building will be handed over to you, you can arrange the rent yourself, I will send you the software for the resident roster, and I will ask me on WeChat if you can't decide." ”

"Okay, okay." Mu Chi turned sideways, watched the dressed second uncle walk out of the door, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Second uncle, there won't be anything strange in your building, right?" ”

"Strange thing? You kid started talking nonsense again? The second uncle raised his eyebrows.

"But every time I saw you since I was a child, there would be something strange around you." Mu Chi snapped his fingers and said, "A cat with one eye, a dog with three tails, and a bird without feet......"

"Go and go, think about things that don't make sense all day, and don't see a girlfriend come back. My building is refreshing, there are a lot of young white-collar workers who live, you don't squat all day, idle, the young girl who is newly rented in 102 next door I think is very good, I have time to contact others......"

After the second uncle chattered for a while, he looked down at his watch, and estimated that he really didn't have time, so he stopped preaching to Mu Chi and closed the door and left.

Mu Chi walked to the window, and only when he saw the figure of the second uncle dragging the suitcase hidden in the night, did he sit on the sofa.

Starting today, he will live in Room 101, Building 1, Wenliu Yuan, for two years.

and makes a living by collecting the rent of the entire building for the second uncle.

Although the location of this community is too remote and the appearance is too old-fashioned, the value of this building will be greatly reduced, but it is enough for Mu Chi'an to lie down and live peacefully.

If there is anything that worries Mu Chi, it is undoubtedly the problem with the "second uncle" and the "house" itself. Just like what he said to his second uncle, every time he saw his second uncle since he was a child, he could see some strange things around his second uncle.

However, the second uncle himself was unaware of all this, as if it was really just Mu Chi's illusion.

But thinking about the second uncle who has lived here for so many years, if there is really something strange, then something should have happened a long time ago...... Right?

It's just that this concern is really nothing compared to the happy life that can start lying flat in your twenties. This is also the reason why Mu Chi did not hesitate to quit his job as a maggot, and rushed all the way to Yulin City.

Mu Chi sat on the sofa and suddenly panicked for no reason. He looked around, and the room was clean, and the gentle light enveloped the whole living room, and there was no trace of darkness to hide.

The old-fashioned wall clock gears on the wall are ringing one by one, and the hands are pointing to 6:13, which is the time for eating.

He wasn't hungry, so he opened the "household register" sent to him by his second uncle, which is an app with a black house icon on a blue background, and clicks into it to be a page similar to a novel bookshelf, with three positions in each row, corresponding to three households on the first floor, on which simple household information is recorded, including name, age, and job.

He glanced at it, and it was really the same as the second uncle said, most of the residents were between twenty and forty years old. Flipping to the bottom of the row corresponding to the first floor, the information about the young girl next door that the second uncle specifically mentioned is also recorded.

"Ning Haiyan, female, 22 years old...... You've just graduated, right? ”

"Bang!"

He was muttering when suddenly there was a cracking of the window in the direction of the kitchen, as if something heavy had fallen into the kitchen. And immediately after, the pots and pans in the kitchen were violently pushed to the ground by something, and for a while the sound of breaking and colliding rang out.

"It can't be a wildcat that broke through a window and jumped in, right? So noisy? ”

After calming down, Mu Chi stood up, picked up the broom leaning against the wall, and cautiously leaned towards the kitchen. He pinched the doorknob and noticed that something was wrong—the temperature of the entire door seemed to be lower than that of the surroundings, and after holding it for a few more moments, the palms of his hands were frozen and painful.

It's definitely not something "clean"!

"Hastily, I knew that the second uncle was inseparable from strange things!" Mu Chi scolded in his heart.

He hurriedly let go, hoping in his heart that the strange things this time would not hurt people like the things around the second uncle. But as soon as he let go, there was a sudden sound on the wooden kitchen door like an electric drill punching a hole, and then a piece of the middle of the door panel in front of him suddenly shattered, and a black tentacle-like object rushed out of the broken hole and wrapped around his waist tightly!

The tentacles began to tighten rapidly as they wrapped around his waist, and Mu Chi felt that his unathletic body was about to be broken, and he strode towards the living room, but the force was far superior to his, and instead pulled his back against the door.

"Death, death, what the hell is this!!"

Mu Chi was strangled out of breath, he felt that the tentacle was no longer stable in his waist, one section began to climb upward, and the other section began to extend downward, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that his whole body would be wrapped in it!

Isn't there a way out?

What about the second uncle? Help!

Of course, the second uncle can't come back now, and even if he comes back, the second uncle who can't notice the existence of these things obviously has no way to defeat them. Mu Chi breathed heavily, and the broom handle in his hand kept knocking on the tentacle, only responding to Bangbang's sound, but it couldn't cause the slightest damage.

There was no way he could get out on his own, unless someone helped—

Yes, neighbor, he has neighbors!

Mu Chi's ears keenly caught the sound of the door opening next door at this time, and the sound of slippers immediately sounded in the corridor. Without hesitation, he immediately called the name of the neighbor who had been specially mentioned by the second uncle, and shouted:

"Ning Haiyan! Ning Haiyan! ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of slippers at the door had stopped, and then the iron door of room 101 was knocked heavily:

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”

The iron door was knocked loudly, and Mu Chi looked at the door at the entrance of the entrance, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a few more palm prints on it.

But it was already a lifesaver for him, he gritted his teeth and ran forward with all his strength, the power of the tentacle seemed to be lost at this moment, he quickly grasped the handle of the door and pushed it away with all his might!

"Squeak!"

The iron door was pushed open, and Mu Chi's "help" stopped abruptly before he could exit.

Standing outside the door was a girl with gray messy hair and a red scarf, wearing a wide sweatshirt that showed her white legs, her bare feet and slippers, carrying a takeaway garbage bag in one hand and tapping on her mobile phone in the other.

"You're the new landlord?"

She didn't even raise her eyes to look at Mu Chi, nor did she wait for Mu Chi to reply, she said to herself:

"It's going to be rent, right? Shall I sweep you? ”

Before Mu Chi could speak, the girl had already raised her mobile phone and swiped it on his screen, and there was a sound of "drop", and the prompt sound of the completion of the transaction immediately sounded in Mu Chi's ears.

"Tenant 102, Ning Haiyan, Greyhound, rent paid."

"Learned: The Slow Word Formula."

"Huh?" Mu Chi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the prompt sound of the mobile phone ringing.

And the girl who had done all this had raised her head, revealing her delicate little face. Her dark brown eyes stared at Mu Chi's face, and her eyes were full of incomprehension:

"New landlord, is there anything else? Or is it ...... Do you want to eat fragrant chicken too? ”

She lifted the garbage bag in her hand. Mu Chi finally reacted, and he hurriedly shouted: "No, it's not rent, it's help, help!" I've been attacked by a tentacle monster in the kitchen, and it's going to drag me into the kitchen—"

"Oh?" The girl showed a puzzled expression, "I understand the reason, but ...... Isn't its demonic power inferior to yours? ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed at Mu Chi's waist, Mu Chi followed her fingers and lowered his head, the black tentacles were still wrapped around his waist, but at this moment it seemed to be about to crumble - not so much that it was going to pull Mu Chi into the kitchen, but that it was trying not to be pulled off by Mu Chi.

"Huh? Wait, how did I get to the door? Wasn't I strangled at the kitchen door? ”

Mu Chi finally realized that something was wrong at this time, and as he realized this, the familiar pull returned to his waist in an instant, and he didn't even have a chance to grab the door frame, this huge force had already dragged him back into the house in a violent way!

"Save! Save! Save! ”

He shouted wildly, but his neighbor seemed indifferent to it, and even smiled on his little face, as if he were watching a comedy.

"Gan! You're on your own! ”

Mu Chi instantly understood that he could only rely on his own strength to get out of trouble. But fortunately, now he is no longer clueless, and he does have the power to compete with him-

"Strength, where is the power of the tentacle I just pulled!"

He sank his mind to find the power hidden in his body, even though his body was out of balance, his phone flew out of his hand, and the tilted center of gravity made him fall backwards, and the gentle light became dazzling and dazzling—

Vaguely, Mu Chi saw that in the light, there seemed to be a slow-moving dog shadow, which suddenly turned into a flash of light and flashed through the halo.

He raised the broom in his hand in a ghostly manner, clasped his hands together, and slowly descended as if he were holding a sword.

"Slow the word."

He whispered silently, and the sweep turned into a flash of light, flashing from the middle of the tentacle.

There was no crashing, no waving wind, and in the silence, the black tentacles ejected like broken bands, twitching and writhing.

And Mu Chi stumbled and sat on the ground.

In his hand, he still holds the handle of the broom that has been bent at 90 degrees.
