Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 240 Happy Community
"Although this house is a bit old, it is next to Sugamo Shopping Street and can be said to be right in front of Ikebukuro. Although there are elderly communities around it, the living functions are complete and the transportation is impeccable..."

"It should be noted that the nearby 'famous tourist attraction' Somei Onsen is filled with wrinkled old men once you enter, so it's best not to patronize it."

The second property recommended by Saejima is a nearly fifty-year-old house located in Sugamo, a famous senior community next to Ikebukuro.

"There is no foul air, and no spirits have been sensed, but there are many abnormal signs. The information team has been arranged to investigate."

"It's confirmed. The previous owner of this house died alone here. When he was found three months later, his body had already started to stink and fester and had soaked into the floor and walls. It was impossible to separate them. Those suspicious marks are most likely..."

"Don't, don't say it."

Although there were no "supernatural elements", seeing the large suspicious stains on the walls and floors, Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi, who did not retreat even in the face of the earthbound spirits, fled for their lives and left the house.

"This next project will definitely satisfy you two!"

"The house is located in the core area of ​​Nishi-Waseda. Although the price is close to 60 million yen, it is adjacent to the park in the west and Waseda University in the east. The subway station is a five-minute walk away. The environment is excellent and the academic atmosphere is strong, which is very beneficial for the future growth and education of children..."

The third property is a house located near Nishi-Waseda subway station.

"Everything is normal inside the house, but there are traces of a lot of spiritual activity on the path behind the house... We are asking the information team to analyze it..."

"The Toyama Park, which is 500 meters away from the house, is the former site of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases. It is said that it was used for live experiments during the war. A large number of human bones were also dug up in the mountain. It is estimated that this is the source of the 'supernatural traces'. It has been registered, and the ninth lesson will investigate and deal with it as soon as possible..."

Although there were no "supernatural phenomena" inside the house, Xia Fan shook his head like a rattle when he thought that the famous haunted place in Tokyo was not far away...

It doesn't matter to me, but the parents I have to live with are just ordinary people. They are old and have low tempers and can't stand being scared.

……

Two hours later, at KKC fried chicken restaurant in Ikebukuro shopping street.

"I actually looked at five properties in one morning. It's really efficient..."

Xia Fan placed three large buckets of fried chicken on the table and said self-deprecatingly.

"In a sense, it was indeed a very rewarding experience... ah!"

Aoi Jinguji couldn't wait to take out a piece of golden and crispy chicken wing, slurped the meat and removed the bone, then started chewing with enjoyment with squinting eyes.

"Damn it, I didn't like any of the projects I carefully selected... There must be something better here..."

At the next table, President Saejima was absentmindedly chewing on his burger while frantically flipping through a stack of real estate documents with an unyielding look.

"Ahem... it better be really 'better'..."

Rimu, who was sitting at the same table, had a dark face and stared at the stack of "premium housing information" with fear and hatred.

He could imagine that the period after Lesson 9 would be very busy just with the finishing work.

After leaving Nishi-Waseda, the four of them looked at several houses one after another. Some of the houses were in bad locations, some were "accident objects", and some were even "haunted houses" with earthbound spirits...

For those properties that could be exorcised on site, Jinguji Aoi carried out temporary treatment.

Any matters involving "supernatural danger factors" in the surrounding environment or related to unsolved cases will be recorded by Chapter 9, and the detectives will immediately start the "cleaning work" after the four people leave.

It was lunchtime, so Xia Fan suggested that he treat everyone, so they could have a meal and rest together, and discuss the afternoon schedule...

As for this KKC fried chicken restaurant, it was of course named by Aoi Jinguji.

"Speaking of which, Section 9 put in all its manpower and resources but still failed to identify any haunted houses with active 'supernatural elements', but President Saejima managed to find almost all of them right with just a few random selections. This can be considered a kind of 'talent', right?" Xia Fan tore off the skin of the original chicken, took a small bite without interest, and complained to Jinguji Aoi in a low voice.

This is not because I have to maintain my figure and control my diet while recording the show, but because I have seen too many creepy houses in the morning and have lost my appetite.

By the way, the prisoner who was in charge of the first property the four of them looked at had already been interrogated by the prison.

The other party readily admitted that a crime had been committed in the former building on that land a few years before the current case, and the victim's body had been buried nearby...

In other words, the house rebuilt by the real estate company, because of the land issues, is not only a "haunted house" with earthbound spirits, but also a "secondary accident object" whitewashed by the real estate company, that is, a haunted house among haunted houses!
"Talent... There is a type of person who is born with a strong aura and a strong destiny, but is prone to bad luck. President Saejima should be one of them, right?"

"Perhaps, Lesson 9 can sign a long-term real estate consulting contract with RPG Real Estate..."

Although she had been dealing with spirits since she was a child, Aoi Jinguji's appetite was not affected at all. She finished a bucket of the "Ten-Wing Bucket" quietly, elegantly and quickly.

"Come to think of it, Jinguji, you seem to particularly like fried chicken?"

Xia Fan admired the "Witch vs. Fried Chicken" in amazement as if he was watching a food show.

"When I was a child, I lived in the mountains behind the Ise Shrine in Mie Prefecture, leading a boring life of asceticism..."

"What I look forward to most is going to the city with my mother once a month and having fried chicken with her."

“So, even now, I still like to eat fried chicken.”

Speaking of this, Aoi Jinguji's eyes flickered and she revealed an innocent smile.

"Got it, this one! Compared to this project, all the projects in the morning are garbage!"

"This 'happy community' will definitely satisfy you two!"

Saejima, who was sitting at the next table, suddenly pulled out a project document and stood up excitedly.

……

After one hour.

"We've already reached Saitama Prefecture, right?"

Xia Fan got out of the car, glanced at the location on his phone, and asked weakly.

"To be precise, it's Wako City, Saitama Prefecture!"

"Saitama Prefecture has been known as 'Little Edo' and 'The Land of Colors' since ancient times, and Wako City has been hailed as Tokyo's most popular 'back garden' in the past decade."

“Although it’s a bit far from Ikebukuro physically, the Wako City Railway has the Tojo Line, Fukutoshin Line, Toyoko Line, Minato Mirai Line, and Yurakucho Line, which connect to the Tokyo Outer Ring Road, making it very convenient to get to the city center, the bay, or Yokohama!”

"Because of its convenient transportation, comprehensive living functions and low housing prices, Wako City is one of the top ten cities with the fastest population growth in the 11th ward. Many young people working in Tokyo choose to settle down here."

"This 'Happy Community' in front of us has only seven plots in total. All of them are designed and customized by real estate developers based on customer needs. From hard decoration to soft decoration, all are 'one-stop service'. The budget for a single house is about 40 million yen."

Standing at the entrance of a green and elegant-looking residential community, Tetsuo Saejima introduced the community with confidence, his hands on his hips.

On the gate above his head, there were four big red characters "Happy Community" hung.
