After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

A midnight taxi pulled up beside him, and Chen Zhuo sat inside, quietly waiting for the landlord.

A moment later, a figure hurriedly walked out from the villa area.

The figure had loose hair, wore pajamas and slippers, and looked rather impatient.

As the woman appeared, the midnight taxi driver honked his horn softly, signaling to Chen Zhuo that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

"Understood." Chen Zhuo nodded, and before getting out of the car, he instructed the midnight taxi driver, "Go find a parking space. Once I've finished dealing with this matter, we should be able to go into the villa."

Chen Zhuo opened the door and got out of the car. Before leaving, he lowered his voice and coldly warned, "Don't have any other ideas while I'm gone. These ideas have no meaning to me."

"drop--"

A slight tremor could be heard in the taxi's horn.

After Chen Zhuo closed the car door and stood steadily on the roadside, the midnight taxi slowly drove away to find the nearest parking space.

It originally had the idea of ​​escaping, but Chen Zhuo seemed to be able to read minds and guessed its thoughts, even emitting a strong eerie aura to warn it.

This instantly dispelled its idea of ​​taking the opportunity to leave.

As the taxi driver left at midnight, the villa owner had already walked up to Chen Zhuo's side.

The landlord froze when he saw Chen Zhuo's outfit.

She never expected that the person who said he wanted to come and see the house tonight would be a blind man.

"Excuse me, is this the landlord I contacted on the phone earlier?"

Seeing that the landlord remained silent, Chen Zhuo broke the silence first.

Upon hearing this, the landlord snapped out of his daze, and his gaze toward Chen Zhuo became increasingly complicated.

There was reluctance, relief, but mostly a sense of liberation.

"I-I am! Sorry to keep you waiting!" The landlord quickly replied, "This isn't the place to chat. Why don't we go inside first, and I'll show you around the villa area."

"Okay." Chen Zhuo nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the landlord instinctively reached out and pulled him away, preparing to lead him away.

However, as soon as she reached out her hand, Chen Zhuo seemed to sense it, took a half step back and shook his head, his tone full of politeness and distance.

"Thank you, you don't need to pull me along, just tell me the general direction."

"well."

The landlord chuckled awkwardly, withdrew his hand that had been hanging in mid-air, and then led the way.

The landlord was a little worried and kept turning back to check if Chen Zhuo had followed.

After the landlord and security guard briefly explained the situation and registered Chen Zhuo's identity information, they led him into the villa area.

"Little brother, I think you're only in your early twenties. Please don't mind me calling you 'little brother'."

It's late at night now, and the villa area is already deserted.

She was walking down an empty street with a man she had never met before, and she felt a little awkward if she didn't say something.

"Were those eyes natural?"

"no."

Chen Zhuo didn't want to answer, but if he rented the other party's house today, he would inevitably have to deal with them in the future, so he still had to consider this relationship for now.

The landlord hadn't really intended to ask; she was just trying to lighten the mood, so she didn't pay much attention to Chen Zhuo's cold attitude.

"What caused that, and can it be cured?"

"He suffered some injuries that can't be healed."

The landlord felt increasingly reluctant, but when he thought about what had happened recently, his already limited reluctance vanished instantly.

"Don't be soft-hearted! Blame that damn thing, I didn't mean it! Don't blame me, don't blame me..."

As the landlord kept repeating the last sentence in his mind, he didn't realize that Chen Zhuo's cane wasn't even on the ground to probe the way.

The landlord, having calmed down, sighed softly, "What a pity, such a handsome young man. Let's not talk about that anymore; let me show you around this place."

"it is good."

Chen Zhuo's expression returned to normal, and he continued to stroll around the outskirts of the villa area with the landlord.

The landlord then began to introduce the villa area to him.

"The villa area is surrounded on three sides by native camphor and dawn redwood forests that are twenty or thirty years old. The camphor trees can provide shade and repel mosquitoes. In summer, you don't even need to turn on the air conditioner when walking along the path."

Next to the woods is a flowing river, where egrets and other birds usually roam.

Square dancing is prohibited in the villa area, so there's no need to worry about noise.

The landlord kept introducing how great the area around the villa was and how well the management within the villa area was.

Since understanding the surrounding area is one of the basic procedures for renting a house, Chen Zhuo didn't say much at the beginning.

But as time went on, Chen Zhuo finally couldn't hold back and interrupted the landlord.

"Landlady, I think I know the area around the villa quite well now. Could you tell me a bit about the house?"

The landlord seemed to have been talking for a long time, but he never once mentioned the house he wanted to rent.

I miss that villa so much; it's like a taboo subject, something that can't be mentioned by anyone.

"Huh? Ah! Look at my brain, I was so busy talking about all this that I forgot to mention the most important thing."

The landlord had concealed it well, but Chen Zhuo still managed to pinpoint the hint of panic in her voice.

But he didn't make a fuss; instead, he waited silently for the landlord to see what tricks the landlord was up to.

"The house I want to rent has three floors. The first floor has a living room, kitchen, dining room, and a bathroom."

The second floor has four guest rooms, an entertainment room, and two bathrooms.

The third floor houses the master bedroom and study, with the bedroom having an ensuite bathroom.

There is a garage in front of the villa for parking, and a small garden in the back for enjoyment.

All facilities are complete, and the water and electricity supply is normal, but you need to pay the water and electricity bills yourself.

That's all I wanted to say; you'll have to experience it for yourself to see the real stuff.

"Good." Chen Zhuo was very satisfied with the layout of the villa.

Just when the landlord thought he could get away with it, Chen Zhuo suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.

"Can I ask a question? Why is the monthly rent so low for such a luxurious villa, and why is there no deposit required?"

Could it be some kind of haunted house or a cursed house? I've seen so many houses like that online.

"How...is that possible? Those things online...are all fake. My...house isn't...any kind of haunted house or haunted house."

This is because... I'll be going on a business trip to another city soon, which will take at least... half a year.

This house... it's just sitting empty anyway, I was thinking of renting it out so other people could live there and make it more lively.

"I see. I'm really lucky."

Even so, Chen Zhuo was certain that the landlord was hiding something.

Moreover, ever since he entered the villa area, he had vaguely sensed an eerie atmosphere, even more so than that of a midnight taxi!

There must be something strange going on in this villa area!

"Yes, yes!" The landlady looked a little guilty. Even though Chen Zhuo was blind, she didn't dare to look at him anymore. She always felt that Chen Zhuo could see, so she quickened her pace.

A few minutes later, Chen Zhuo noticed that the landlord in front of him had stopped, so he stood still as well.

Immediately afterwards, the landlord's voice came from the front: "Alright, we're here!"
