My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 353 Haunted House
Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and said, "Do you think he might have faked his death and then tried to escape?"

"I still do not know yet."

Lin Tianshou shook his head and said, "But we also have this concern, so the body has not been cremated. It has been sealed in a special coffin and placed in the underground morgue of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau."

"Whether he really died or faked his death, he won't be able to cause any big waves as long as he's in the polls."

At this point, Lin Tianshou changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I'm here on behalf of the government to thank you for your bravery that day."

When Jiang Xinghuo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't know what kind of surprise Lin Tianshou could bring him.

"Now you have two choices..."

Lin Tianshou didn't waste any time talking and directly stated the two options, letting Jiang Xinghuo choose for himself.

The first one is to randomly select an item below the legendary level in the collection room of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

Another thing is to give Jiang Xinghuo a house, located near the suburbs of Haibin South City.

It was an old house left over from ancient times. It did not cover a large area, but it still retained the ancient architectural style.

But according to Lin Tianshou, the house had been abandoned for many years and there were some bad rumors about it.

In addition, the identity of the owner of this house is also quite special. He was a red businessman and made many contributions to the development of the country.

However, most of the family's businesses were in the southern coastal areas, and they had no time or energy to take care of the old house, so they simply donated it to the country free of charge.

If Jiang Xinghuo is interested in this old house, he can go and complete the formalities today and have the house registered under his name.

However, Jiang Xinghuo will have to handle all subsequent matters himself, and the Public Opinion Survey Bureau will no longer take the initiative to intervene.

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at Lin Tianshou and asked, "What do you mean by the bad rumors? A haunted house? Or a ghost house?"

Hearing Jiang Xinghuo's question, Lin Tianshou thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know yet, but I went to take a look yesterday. Apart from the slightly heavier Yin Qi, I didn't find any influence from worldly forces."

"Personally, I think it's just that no one has lived here for a long time, so it looks a bit eerie and scary from a physical sense."

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while and quickly made a decision. He wanted the old house in the suburbs.

An old Ming Dynasty house located in the coastal suburbs would be worth at least hundreds of millions on the market. Moreover, its location is remote, which is just right for integrating the fragments of the cave and building one's own place for practice.

As for other problems, Jiang Xinghuo didn't take them to heart. Even if it was really haunted, he would not be a pushover.

Whether it is the Thunder Ancestor's Treasure Scroll or the two evil spirits, Silver Mother Swallowing Dragon, they can easily kill those unclean things.

"you sure?"

Lin Tianshou asked again.

"determine."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded.

"Okay, I'll go through the formalities in a moment."

Lin Tianshou's work style is vigorous and efficient, and coupled with his special status, all the procedures were completed before noon.

…………

South city, suburbs.

An old house was located in the lush woods, and a gravel path extended from the roadside into the woods. Jiang Xinghuo stood at the intersection, looking at the back of the jeep going away, and shook his head helplessly.

The reason why this house fell into his hands, in addition to the reward mentioned by Lin Tianshou, was more because he wanted to win people's hearts.

Judging from what Lin Tianshou said, the Public Opinion Survey Bureau wants to develop itself into a non-staff member.

To put it simply, you are not within the official system, but when you encounter some more difficult and special things, or when the official forces are not able to take action openly, you can go and help as an outsider.

Jiang Xinghuo did not give him a clear answer. He just said a few perfunctorily and said that they would talk about it later.

As the old saying goes, it’s easier to get things done within the Six Gates.

There is no need to be definite. If something really happens to him, it is up to him to do it or not. No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

Moreover, he had just talked with Lin Tianshou in the car. It has been almost a year since the launch of the Secular Game.

The influence of the folk world on the real world is becoming more and more profound. There are many ambitious criminals, and various strange organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

In addition, there are many religious sects that have spread from the secular world to the earth, such as: Da Changshengtian, Doumu Palace, Longyin Society, Yinyangliao, Voodoo Cult, National Martial Arts Hall, Sticking Rod Department, etc.

Faced with these emerging forces, the Public Opinion Bureau is also actively absorbing potential domestic players to enhance its own capabilities against external forces.

When the critical moment comes, Jiang Xinghuo doesn't mind helping, but don't bother him with the trivial matters.

These are the exact words Jiang Xinghuo said to Lin Tianshou.

Also.

Jiang Xinghuo also gave Lin Tianshou the water control strategy he obtained from the Yellow River Underground Palace, and asked him to find a suitable person to learn this skill.

This flood control strategy is the essence of Mr. Huang He's flood control knowledge. It would be a complete waste to use it on oneself. Only when it is used by experts in water conservancy projects can the corresponding abilities be brought into full play.

Jiang Xinghuo stood on the side of the road for a long time, looking around. Although this old house was in the suburbs, there was no one around it, and it was half an hour's drive from the city.

After night falls, there is only one house like this within a radius of ten miles. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a haunted house.

Although the sun is shining brightly now, you can clearly feel some shade after walking into the woods.

Jiang Xinghuo walked along the gravel road and came to the abandoned old house. The door was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. When he walked into the house, he found that the overall frame of the house was still intact, but the rest of the house was in ruins.

It would probably take a lot of money and time to renovate it, but fortunately Jiang Xinghuo had both of these things.

Although he is not rich now, his monthly income is five or six figures, which is more than enough to renovate a house.

And because of his profession, he also knows a lot of people in the construction industry, which can save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After Jiang Xinghuo made up his mind, he took out his cell phone and made a call, then sat on the steps at the door and waited quietly.

Half an hour later.

A pickup truck stopped on the trail and a dark-skinned man got out of the car. He was about thirty years old, tall and strong.

Jiang Xinghuo saw him coming and stood up to greet him. After a few words of greeting, the man came to the door of the ancient house, looked around for a few times, and then turned to look at Jiang Xinghuo.

"Brother Jiang, is this your house?"
