Chapter IV. List of tenants
"Tenant list", this seemingly crude app, is so complicated in Mu Chi's eyes at this time.
His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, the posture he was accustomed to thinking.
Wenliuyuan is a seven-storey building with three households on one floor, corresponding to the twenty-one pages on the app. Today, there are only 102 rooms with detailed information:
"Room 102, Ning Haiyan, female, 22 years old, race: gray dog."
"Strength: A; Speed: A; Hex: D; Demonic power: C. ”
"What two-dimensional software...... No, Ning Haiyan's thin arms and legs are so tall, how can he still have a strong double A rating? Mu Chi looked at the updated household information, and the corners of his eyes jumped, "Is it really a weak woman with double A?" ”
However, when he glanced at the pit on the floor that Ning Haiyan had smashed out with a distracted kick, he immediately understood everything.
"Therefore, when the tenant pays the 'rent', the information on the app will be improved, showing the tenant's ability panel......" Mu Chi pondered, "At present, every household has occupancy information, that is, in addition to room 101, where I live, there are 20 demon ...... in this building."
It is true that contemporary Internet surfing youth have a very high degree of acceptance of things, without any psychological preparation, Mu Chi, who has already fought with the demon once, can already be unfazed by such a reality, and can even step on the belly of the orange cat demon radish twice, and listen to the other party's pleasant meow.
However, difficulties are unavoidable, and he clearly recognizes the crux of the matter:
The existence of demons will definitely not be as easy to get along with as Ning Haiyan next door - although according to the second uncle, there are many young white-collar workers in this building, but as far as Ning Haiyan's seemingly harmless appearance of humans and animals is concerned, he can have a terrifying panel of speed double A, and he can step out of a pit casually, who knows what kind of thoughts those white-collar people have under their skin.
Maybe a single punch can tear down the entire building?
"My good second uncle, you didn't let me put on a bad show, you threw me into the monster base camp and let me suffer!"
What's the difference between going to the zoo to see a tiger and falling into a tiger hole?
However, compared to the tourists who fell into the tiger cave unarmed, Mu Chi has some ability to protect himself.
He has "demon power" in his body that he doesn't even know, and judging from Ning Haiyan's words, it seems that his demon power is not low at all. But this magic power seems to be the reason why he took over this building-
"The rent that the tenant gave me is an ability that can only be activated by demonic power...... According to the display of the panel, it should be 'hexical'? ”
"If there's a driving force behind all this, and it's not a coincidence, it's all connected......"
"Then what he wants me to do is go to the monster tenants to collect rent one by one, so as to gain their abilities?"
Such an obvious trap, would anyone really step into it?
Thinking of this, Mu Chi felt that he was stepping on the edge of the abyss at this time, and if he took one more step, he was afraid that he would be completely entangled in it.
And the second uncle who "designed" all this...... If it is a coincidence that you can't see a demon, it's a coincidence that you let yourself collect rent, and the whole building is also a coincidence, and it's also a coincidence that you can get witchcraft by collecting rent yourself...... There are so many coincidences in the world!
He called the second uncle directly, and the answer was a blind tone, I don't know if it was because he couldn't receive it on the plane, or for some other reason.
But no matter what, he had already seen through the essence of the phenomenon, and he was still stupid and jumped into it - he couldn't do such a thing!
Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan, run!
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have much money on him, it's a big deal to go to his good brother for a while, his suitcase hasn't even been opened, and he doesn't even have to pack his luggage-
Mu Chi quickly changed his shoes and pulled his suitcase to go out. There was a constant meowing sound of radish behind him, and he turned around to see the orange cat demon hunched over at this time, his hair exploded, and even his tail was hidden between his legs.
"What are you afraid of, I won't beat you, I just want to talk to you byebye!"
Mu Chi didn't have the heart to take the orange cat, he strode out of the door with his suitcase, and before he could close the door, a sudden cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver all over.
And when he raised his eyes again, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
In his shudder, the unit door in front of him had changed from the usual single glass door in the apartment to a bronze door that opened on the side.
The bright sunlight outside was completely cut off by the bronze gate, the dark corridor was cloudy and windy, the corridor lights overhead flickered like a wind, and the bulbs kept making a noise of "zilazila", which seemed to explode in the next second.
Another demon? What demon is being targeted by this time?
He stepped back, trying to retreat into his room, but the walls were cold at his touch. When I turned around, Room 101 behind me had disappeared with even the door number.
"Is this because you found out that I was going to run and wanted to kill me here, and even cut me off the back road?"
Mu Chi frowned, the crisis of being attacked by the orange cat demon last night was nothing compared to this time.
"I thought it was just my tenant who had the problem...... Now it seems that something is wrong with this building! Second uncle! ”
Room 101 disappeared, Room 102 where Ning Haiyan lived and Room 103 where "Gu Jing" lived were all there, but these two households were ...... Their original burglar-proof entrance doors were now gone, replaced by two fog doors that stood there out of thin air, shrouded in thick fog.
Fog door.
Mu Chi, who has been fighting on the steam platform for a long time, doesn't have much of a good impression of this thing, and in the classic souls game, behind the fog gate is a boss that makes the player die and live......
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reason told him that this fog gate was definitely not for him to touch, and the only direction he could go was the bronze door that was closed at this time. But before he could take a step, the fog in the fog door of room 103 suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and a series of strange clicking sounds sounded behind the fog.
Mu Chi immediately realized that something was wrong, but as soon as he pulled out his legs, a white thing suddenly jumped out of the fog gate, grabbed the clothes on his chest in an instant, and dragged him towards Room 103!
"Holy!"
Mu Chi was caught off guard, and was dragged forward three or four steps, he subconsciously grabbed the handrail of the stairs on the side, but the power of that huge force was far greater than the power of the tentacles of the orange cat demon last night, and under a tearing pain, he had to let go of his hand and continue to be dragged towards room 103-
The smell of fishy smell came to his face, and in the fluctuating mist, Mu Chi had already seen the thick blood stain in the 103 room!
Definitely not to be dragged in!
As he struggled, a hand suddenly reached out from inside the 102 fog gate on the side and grabbed his arm. Then a shining black light lit up in front of him.
The white thing that was holding him clattered and shattered in the black light, and with a single force the hand dragged him into the fog door.
"Oooo
Mu Chi took three steps in a row, and only when he hit the cabinet on the side did he stabilize his figure.
He looked to the side, Ning Haiyan was holding a lollipop in his mouth, and only then did he loosen his collar with one hand, and with the other hand holding a thick black straight sword, he looked at him with a confused expression, puzzled: "Landlord, why do you say you have nothing to provoke that guy?" ”
"Huh?"
"The one in room 103, he's fierce, I heard others say that it's a bone demon who has taken a crooked path, but if you want me to say, the bone demon doesn't have a serious ...... cultivation."
"Or is it because the landlord your meat is too fragrant and he smells it? The demon outside is a little nervous, and I don't know when I started to go crazy. ”
"In this way, landlord, you have to be careful when you go out by yourself, it's okay to say that the demons who have turned into human form are okay, but if those demons who have not transformed into form smell you, they may want to arrest you and eat you."
"If you want me to say, it's still the safest and most comfortable place to live here!"
Ning Haiyan pulled his slippers and said casually to himself.
Mu Chi was shocked at this time, listening to Ning Haiyan's Arabian Nights-like content, he suddenly felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.
He took out his mobile phone, and the page of the tenant list app automatically popped up at this time, and a red exclamation point flashed on the screen, dazzling:
[Urgent Mission: Quell the riot of the tenant 'Gu Jing' in Room 103.]
Time limit: 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes. 】
