Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Thinking of this, Lor left the park with satisfaction and showed up at church as usual.

The turmoil surrounding "Vampire Lucinda" has completely subsided, and the members of the Gordon City Exorcist Team have returned to their peaceful lives.

"Good morning, Lor... There aren't any missions today. It's really peaceful."

Senior Joyce staggered into the duty room, clutching a copy of the Gordon Morning Post and a cup of hot tea. He was clearly ready to spend the entire day fishing.

"I heard about it, Lor. You took advantage of your promotion at the diocesan headquarters to spend several days eating, drinking and having fun in Palmer City with your fiancée, right? Tsk tsk, how enviable... Oh, I want a vacation too, but unfortunately, because I've been late and left early too many times, all my annual leave has been deducted by that woman..."

Having said that, he suddenly looked towards the door with a guilty conscience.

Fortunately, "that woman" did not show up.

"Actually, the process is not easy and it's quite tiring." Lor said with a wry smile.

Only Captain Ronina knew a little about what Lor did during his time in Palmer City, and the ordinary team members knew nothing at all.

"Oh? Tired? Are you tired during the day or at night?" Senior Joyce joked.

"Don't joke with me, Senior. By the way, has the team received any cases while I was away?"

"You know what, there were a lot of things going on last week."

Joyce shrugged and replied:

"There were six incidents in total, but they were all blunders, none of which actually involved supernatural powers... The most ridiculous one was about an unlucky guy who kept stepping in dog poop for several days and insisted that he was cursed.

"Lor, I remember that these kinds of things always happened to you in the past. Why is it that now it seems to be completely reversed? When you're not around, all these blunders happen more and more?"

"Maybe my luck has changed recently."

Lor replied while checking the duty roster posted on the wall.

Hmm... I have to be on duty at the church during the day for the next two days... I guess I have no choice but to finish this today...

"Okay, Senior Joyce, please take your time drinking your tea and reading the newspaper. I still have things to do, so it's almost time to leave." Lor stood up and walked towards the door.

"Don't we have any missions today?" Joyce asked curiously, "What's so urgent?"

Lor turned around and said:

"It's nothing important. I just want to buy a house while I have some time today."

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal, it turns out it's about buying a house... Wait, buying a house?!"

Joyce was stunned.

He thought to himself, how long have you been working here, and you're already planning to buy a house?

You know, I've been in the team for so many years, but I still haven't saved enough money to buy a house!

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal. After all, Luo Er made a great contribution in the last battle... The bonus must be hundreds or thousands of gold coins, right? Originally, Joyce himself received a considerable bonus, but compared to Luo Er, it was nothing.

He even felt uncomfortable slacking off.

"Lor, Senior, I've always treated you well, haven't I? Last time you wandered off during your shift, wasn't it me who covered for you with the captain?" Joyce asked seriously. "So, could you share your experience in transferring assets with me? What's the opportunity?"

"Opportunity..." Lor raised his head slightly, thought for a moment, and said with a sly smile, "Probably starting to live with Isabella, right? Senior, you should also find someone to get engaged to, maybe your luck will change."

Upon hearing this, Joyce's eyes twitched slightly, and he waved his hand to drive them away:

"If I can find my fiancée, do I need a change of luck? Hurry up and leave! Don't let me see you again today!"

……

Half an hour later, a real estate agency.

"I suggest you buy a townhouse along the street."

The real estate agent took out some documents and introduced them to Lor and Isabella attentively:

"For example, this townhouse is located in the downtown area, with convenient transportation and living! It's also very spacious. The first floor has a living room, kitchen, and dining room, and the second floor has two bedrooms and a study. There are also bathrooms on both floors!

"A house like this is perfect for a newlywed couple like you two! It's both elegant and comfortable, and the price is quite affordable, only four hundred and fifty gold coins!"

Isabella blushed when she heard the word "newlyweds".

But she still shook her head in dissatisfaction and said:

"Is this considered spacious? Humph, it's just livable."

...The eldest lady’s standards are different.

Luo Er actually thought that, considering the living conditions alone, the house was quite good. Within the boundaries of Gordon City, it was considered a standard middle-class residence... However, it didn't fully meet Luo Er's requirements.

"I want it to be quiet, not in a busy area, and not close to other houses," Lor requested.

After all, you will inevitably do some things at home that are inconvenient for others to notice.

Lor didn't want to have to book a room in a high-end hotel with good soundproofing every time he attended the Dark Moon Society's "tea party"... Also, it would be best if his house had a yard and was some distance away from his neighbors, so that others wouldn't hear him loudly "praising the Holy Light" outdoors every day.

The real estate agent was stunned for a moment and thought, that's a lot of requirements...

He took another look at the newlyweds and reassessed their financial resources in his mind.

Well, leaving the man aside, at least this lady looks quite noble, with stunning temperament and appearance, and her clothes are also very tasteful... She must be from a wealthy family.

The real estate agent took out another document:

"In that case, how about this villa in the suburbs? It's more than three times the size of the previous one, with beautiful surroundings and a secluded location. It can perfectly meet all your requirements!"

"Hmm? This one seems okay... barely habitable." Miss Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly.

Lor glanced at the price silently.

Well, the price is more than three times that of the previous set... a full 1,500 gold coins.

The house is indeed nice, but it will exceed my budget... It seems that buying a suitable house will not be done in a short time...

Luo Er frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Are there any haunted houses among the suburban villas you sell where someone has died?"

24. 15 Oak Street

...I suspect you were sent by our competitors to cause trouble.

After hearing Lor's outrageous request, the real estate agent couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.

A haunted house where someone died?

Is this something a normal person would ask?

"We are a legitimate real estate agency. We don't sell that kind of house!" the agent said seriously.

"It doesn't matter if no one has died, it's okay if there are other abnormal circumstances."

Lor continued seriously:

"Like crying sounds heard in the middle of the night, strange shadows appearing from time to time, or people having nightmares after moving in... It's all fine. I'm not picky, as long as the price is cheap."

The agent shook his head after hearing this, feeling that the young man was getting more and more out of control.

You know, in this world, supernatural powers really do exist, and it's not a matter of belief or disbelief. A house with strange things in it is likely to be contaminated by something unclean.

If an ordinary person lived in that kind of house, he might really die!

"Sir, what do you mean by this? Are you bored and want to entertain us?"

The agent began to lose patience: "This is no joke... After all, we are a formal agency. Out of the most basic professional ethics, we can't recommend a house with problems to our clients!"

"Oh, sorry, there's something I forgot to mention."

Lor picked up the cross representing the Holy Light Church from the lining of his clothes:

"I'm an exorcist for the church. I'm very good at dealing with supernatural phenomena like vengeful spirits and curses... So, if you really have an 'unclean' house, you can feel free to recommend it to me."

"Exorcist? I see..."

The agent finally understood.

Indeed, an exorcist with the power of holy light doesn't need to be afraid of a haunted house... Instead, the ghosts in the house should be afraid of him...

In that case, maybe I can take this opportunity to sell "that house" that has been hanging on my hands?

"To be honest, Mr. Exorcist, there is indeed a house that meets your requirements."

The agent paused for a moment and replied, "It's quite good, not much different from the villa you just saw... but it's a little weird."

"Oh? What's the weird method?" Isabella asked curiously.

"It's a long story..."

About ten years ago.

In the red brick house at 15 Oak Street, a girl died young due to illness.

She was only eight years old when she died, still an innocent girl. She was very cute and would often stay in the garden with her dolls for the whole day... It's really sad to think about it.

After the girl died, her parents could not bear the blow and began to blame each other and quarreled all day long.

The once harmonious and happy family was shattered like this.

"The couple later divorced and entrusted the house to us, and then they each left the sad city of Gordon."

The agent recalled the past and said with some sadness:

“The house was quite popular at first and sold very quickly.

"But problems started to arise after the new tenants moved in. First, the plates and cups in the house began to break inexplicably, and then, graffiti that looked like the work of a child began to appear on the walls of the empty rooms..."

The agent's tone gradually became gloomy.

Just at this moment, a cold wind blew in from the open door.

It also... has the atmosphere of a ghost story.

"What happened next?" Isabella asked, she was listening attentively.

"At first, the new owner of the house thought someone had sneaked into the house at night to play a prank. But no matter how strict the precautions were, strange things kept happening one after another, and they became more and more bizarre!

"One morning, the hostess woke up and found a line of words written in blood on the ceiling! The words were crooked and difficult to read, but the content could still be read..."

"What does it say on it?" Isabella gasped.

"'Come to me.'"

When he said these four words, the agent couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at his expression, it seemed as if he had really witnessed this strange scene in the past.

"It seems this 'ghost' is quite playful." Lor laughed. "Is it possible that someone is really playing a prank?"

"Impossible!" the agent said firmly, "When these strange phenomena occurred, the doors and windows of the house were locked from the inside, and there were no signs of damage. It's impossible for an outsider to get in!"

"So, were there any exorcists investigating at that time?"

"Of course, in the end, nothing was found... The church said there were no signs of any evil spirits or curses in the house, and then the case was dropped."

Hearing this, Lor frowned slightly.

It seems that the "Gorton City Exorcist Team" ten years ago was not very serious and responsible... If it were Captain Ronina, she would definitely not accept such a sloppy investigation result.

The real estate agent sighed:

"All in all, the subsequent homeowners were terrified and never dared go near that house again.

"Later, word spread that the house was inhabited by the vengeful spirit of a girl who died young, a powerful spirit that even the Church of Holy Light couldn't deal with... As a result, the house's price kept falling, and no new buyer was found.

"And to be honest, we don't dare to introduce this strange house to any customers easily... unless it's someone as 'special' as you!

"Well, are you two still interested in this house? I've already explained everything to you, and I promise I won't hide anything! If you're interested, you can buy it for 500 gold coins!"

Lor and Isabella looked at each other.

To be honest, it’s really a good deal.

The hard requirements are similar to that of the villa worth 1,500 gold coins, but the price is only one-third of that.

Besides, so much time has passed. Even if there really was some supernatural power at work, it might not exist now. Even if there is something abnormal in there that even I can't handle, Isabella is still here.

My eldest daughter is very good at fighting.

"Don't worry, let's go and take a look first." Lor said.

"No problem, I'll get you the keys right away." The agent nodded. "But I won't go with you... I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and I can't take the risk!"
