I have a city in another world

Chapter 5525 The unlucky house
After listening to Tang Zhen's story, everyone had different attitudes.

Some people's expressions changed, seeming to be thoughtful, while others looked disdainful, obviously scorning this.

There are also some people whose eyes flicker and they don't know what they are thinking.

But no one said they would give it a try.

These people are really cautious. They have obviously been severely beaten by reality and are afraid of getting into trouble if they are not careful.

The effect of preaching does not seem to be very good.

It's normal for this kind of situation to happen. It's impossible for these aborigines to believe whatever Tang Zhen says.

They need to judge the comparison to determine whether it is in their own interests and whether it is safe enough.

If you believe in evil gods, not only will you be unlucky, but you may even bring harm to your whole family.

Tragedies that resulted in the annihilation of families due to accidentally provoking demons often occurred in these years.

Tang Zhen didn't expect to make these aborigines believe in mutant tree demons with just one narration, but instead planted a seed in their hearts.

They would hear more about the mutant dryads in the days to come, until at some point the attempt was made.

The key is to give the believer a timely response in order to strengthen the other person's confidence.

If it were just the mutant tree demon, it would be difficult to respond quickly. After all, he was in the abyss of the underworld.

Now that we are in a state of cultivation, we cannot leave casually.

This problem is not difficult to solve. It only requires the dream beast to act as a transfer station, and then the initial establishment of faith can be completed.

Compared to mutated tree demons, dream beasts are more suitable to appease believers and make them believe that gods do exist.

This kind of mutual cooperation actually benefits each other. The mutated tree demon gains faith and origin, and the dream beast can harvest countless emotional fruits.

However, it is not easy to achieve this win-win model.

If it were other extraordinary beings, they would definitely have their own thoughts and be on guard against each other.

I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will be plotted and suffer a loss.

Tang Zhen has a natural advantage in this aspect, which is the main reason why he can let go of the layout.

The group of people in the restaurant each had their own things to do, and it didn't take long for them to disperse.

But in their hearts, they were all pondering Tang Zhen's words and imagining what it would be like to gain extraordinary power.

Tang Zhen's words had already moved their hearts.

Before leaving, the vice-captain asked for Tang Zhen's address and planned to introduce him to a group of demon slayer friends.

With multiple friends and multiple paths, you can always take care of each other.

Seeing that Tang Zhen agreed, the vice-captain smiled and left.

Tang Zhen will stay in the city for some time to come and must have a suitable place to live.

In today's cities, there is no shortage of places to live, and you can even find them without spending money.

Because of the disaster, the total population continues to decrease, but there is no external population and newborns to supplement it.

Cities are now cut off from each other, like isolated islands in a flood.

If no one enters or exits a certain house for a long time, it is basically equivalent to closing the house.

Houses like this will be counted and listed every once in a while, which means that the official is preparing for recycling and cleaning.

If the owner of the house is still there, he needs to take the initiative to register with the official, so as to avoid being repossessed.

Otherwise, once the time is up, officials will open the house for cleaning.

All useful materials will be returned to the official, and the houses will be used as appropriate.

If you have a need to rent a house, you can go directly to the official application and report, and you can choose among these houses.

Especially for demon slayers, renting this kind of house is easier and does not even require paying.

Tang Zhen followed the instructions of passers-by and quickly arrived at the official office and submitted an application for house rental.

After confirming that Tang Zhen was an extraordinary person and registering his information, the staff quickly produced a roster.

It is all housing information, Tang Zhen can choose at will.

The staff introduced which location has better houses and what the specific environment is like, so that Tang Zhen can choose more easily.

Tang Zhen saw some houses specially marked with red ink, and some were marked many times.

Houses like this are mostly in better locations. "What's happening here?"

Tang Zhen pointed to a mark and asked the official staff.

"The red markings indicate that several monks lived in the house."

When Tang Zhen heard this, he knew what was going on. Apparently the previous masters were dead.

There is also a remarks column below, which shows that the change of house owners happened within one year.

Such a fast replacement speed is indeed a bit incredible, and it also illustrates the cruelty and severity of the outside world.

Tang Zhen didn't look carefully and directly chose the house with the most red marks.

"I want here."

Seeing Tang Zhen's choice, the staff hesitated and reminded him carefully: "Although the environment of this house is very good, twelve owners have died. Some people say that there is a curse in this house, which will harm everyone." Every resident makes an impact.”

The staff member's intention was obvious, that is, let Tang Zhen choose another house to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to himself.

Before the disaster, many people did not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and even scoffed at it.

But nowadays, no one dares to look down upon something that involves extraordinary power and is illusory.

They are all afraid that they will be unlucky or contaminated with bad luck, so they are very careful when doing things.

There are also some sensitive people who are careful when speaking and stay away from such haunted houses.

The staff reminded Tang Zhen that it was naturally out of good intentions to avoid being really caught up in bad luck.

"It doesn't matter, I want this house."

Seeing Tang Zhen's persistence, the staff stopped trying to dissuade him and handed him a key.

Rejecting the staff's guidance, Tang Zhen headed to the street where the house was located alone.

The area where this house is located was originally the center of the city and was quite prosperous and lively.

But since the disaster broke out, the streets have become deserted, and the sight of people and cars no longer exists.

The dead leaves and garbage on the road cannot be cleaned up in time, giving people a very dirty feeling.

The houses on the roadside are also good and bad. The houses in luxurious areas are valuable because the land value is too high.

The vast majority of houses are not outstanding in themselves.

If you can buy a house in a place like this, you must be a truly wealthy person, and you must be willing to invest in construction and renovation.

Many of these houses look ordinary on the outside, but are very luxurious in construction and decoration inside.

Maybe the cost of a toilet is worth the value of an ordinary person's house.

But when disaster strikes, everything turns into bubbles and disappears in an instant.

The former owners of these houses are now missing, and they are very likely to die at the hands of monsters.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, it will be difficult to keep your original property unless you also become a practitioner.

After turning a crossroads, Tang Zhen came to a gate, which was the residence assigned to him.

The environment is really good, with ancient trees in front of the door and a clear river not far away.

In front of the door is a commercial street, all the shops are open, and there are many passers-by and customers.

When they saw Tang Zhen take out the key and open the door of the house, some nearby merchants whispered.

They all knew that the owners of this house changed frequently, and there were even rumors that the house was haunted.

The previous owner of the house died less than ten days ago, and someone else actually moved in here.

"There are really guys who are not afraid of death..."

There was a shop owner who shook his head and sighed.

The successive owners of this house have all dined in his restaurant and all gave good reviews.

But each guest only came once or twice and was never seen again.

It’s not that I’m not satisfied with the food, it’s that I can’t come back anymore.

Now there is a new owner, who seems to be disabled, and I don’t know how long he can live there?
