The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 153 Competition (3)

As soon as the door opened, a cold breath blew from inside the house to outside. Even though it was a summer day, the real estate agent couldn't help but shiver and got goose bumps on his arms.

"It's quite cool." Qian Xiaoyi looked into the dark room and said, "The ventilation is good. We don't even need to turn on the air conditioner in the summer."

He saw a small plate next to the entrance door with a pile of salt on it. The top of the salt pile had turned a little black.

Salt has a symbol of holiness in Japan. Since it was very difficult to make pure white salt in ancient times, in people's minds, white and precious salt has the meaning of being able to drive away evil spirits. So if you see this thing in a room in Japan, it means that this place is definitely not a good place.

"You really know how to joke..." The real estate agent wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Oh? Is the door open?" Gui Teng came over with King Kong and said with a smile, "Then let's go in and take a look."

The real estate agent was obviously relieved when he saw Gui Teng Longguang coming. Compared with young people like Qian Xiaoyi, he trusted Gui Teng Longguang more who was obviously an experienced professional.

"Please come in."

They took off their shoes and walked into the house. Although the outside of the house looked very old, the inside was quite clean, as if someone still lived there.

Qian Xiaoyi asked, "It's very clean inside, is there someone cleaning it regularly?"

Upon hearing this, the agent replied, "Yes, since you are all professionals, I will be frank... We will regularly hire test sleepers to live in this house for a few days and ask them to help clean the house and replace the salt piles in the house."

Inuyama Heita asked, "A sleep tester... is that a part-time job that specializes in staying in haunted houses to prove that nothing happened in the house? I thought it was just an urban legend."

Gui Teng Longguang smiled and said, "Brother Inuyama, this is not an urban legend. This profession does exist, and the remuneration is often very high, but..."

King Kong sneered: "Whether you can get it is a question."

Inuyama Heita looked at the agent in confusion and asked, "Huh? Why is that?"

The agent was hesitant and could not speak. Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "You really know how to make things difficult for others. Mr. Agent will definitely not tell you this, so I'll explain this issue to you."

It turns out that this part-time job of a so-called sleep tester looks easy, as you can get paid just by sleeping in the house for a few days without going out. However, it is not that easy at all, because the employing party has no intention of paying any remuneration.

The reason was very simple, that is, it was clearly written in the employment contract that the test sleepers had to stay in the room for a certain number of days before they could get paid. However, most of them could not make it to that day and would flee in advance out of fear, so naturally they could not get paid.

For ordinary haunted houses, the real estate company must send people to evaluate them. How can they afford to hire outsiders for part-time jobs? Only this kind of real haunted house can be evaluated by them.

The only purpose of these people who are deceived into the haunted house is to be used as human batteries to maintain the popularity of the haunted house so that the aura in the haunted house will not continue to deteriorate.

Oh, and maybe clean up as well.

Inuyama Heita was full of surprise: "It's actually... possible? This is too..."

The real estate agent was right in front of him, looking embarrassed, so Inuyama Heita didn't say the rest of the words. He immediately changed the subject and asked, "If you meet someone like Mr. Kongo, can't you get the money?"

"You can't get it." Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the agency and said, "Before you come to work, someone will meet with the applicants. Only those who can't persist are eligible to get the job." "Now you have seen the adult world. Money is never so easy to make, kid." King Kong grinned, showing his white teeth to Inuyama Heita.

At this time, Inuyama Heita's mind was full of shock at the capitalists' outrageous operations, and even this haunted house became less scary.

The agent took them around and then went back outside. At this time, the real estate agent's teeth were already chattering. It was not until he came outside and looked at the dazzling sunlight that his body and mind warmed up a little.

"So, does anyone have any questions?" the agent asked. He knew that these were exorcists who came to solve problems, so he would provide as much help as possible.

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Can we contact the owner of the house? I have a simpler method."

"Can you tell me about it first?" the real estate agent asked curiously, and the others also looked at Qian Xiaoyi.

Qian Xiaoyi told others about his method, and just as he said, this method was indeed very simple, which was to renovate the house according to his method, change the Feng Shui pattern to make it more easily flowable, so that the aura in the house could be easily dispersed, and then hold a ritual, so that after a period of time it will become an ordinary house.

However, the disadvantage is that a construction team needs to be mobilized and it takes a long time, but the advantage is that there is no risk or worry, which is equivalent to removing the fuel from the fire.

After the agent called to ask, he said awkwardly: "Well...they rejected this plan..."

"I'm just asking. That's fine with me." Qian Xiaoyi was not surprised at all. It was just that the other party didn't want to spend more money. Moreover, they wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible and sell the house quickly. They didn't want to wait even a second longer. All capitalists are like this.

The agent looked at Gui Teng Long Guang, and Gui Teng Long Guang said, "I don't have any problems on my side either."

"I see." The agent nodded. "If you have anything, please contact me directly. If there is nothing else, I'd be rude on my part."

The agent couldn't wait to walk out of the yard, drove away in his car, and left the four of them in the house.

"It looks like we'll have to stay overnight." Qian Xiaoyi said to Gui Teng Longguang, "Master Gui Teng, which room do you want?"

Gui Teng Longguang said directly: "The master bedroom, the one where the accident happened." The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. If you want to exorcise ghosts, you must choose the nearest room.

Next to him, King Kong crossed his arms, his chest muscles trembling.

"You're brave!" Qian Xiaoyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Then I'll choose the guest room upstairs." He was too lazy to argue because he couldn't win.

There was no point in talking if they didn't agree. What's more, they were competitors now, so naturally there was nothing to say. After deciding on the room, they separated.

Coming upstairs, Inuyama Heita looked around nervously and asked, "Brother Yi, I saw the figure of a child over there several times just now. Didn't you see it?"

"That's just a shadow of the past." Qian Xiaoyi said leisurely, "Our target is this house itself. Those resentful spirits have long been absorbed here, so what you see is not the main body. It's still early now. We have to wait until that time before we can take action."

"that time?"

"That was the time when the tragedy happened."
