Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Chapter 91 Return

When Jolyne turned the key and opened the apartment door, it was already Saturday morning in the main world.

Although she returned to school last night, Jolyne did not rush to appear, but chose to continue handling matters at the workshop.

After all, suddenly bringing three people back to the apartment at night would be quite troublesome, so it's better to deal with the changes at the workshop first.

Pushing open the door, Jolyne yawned, took a bottle of chilled drink from the refrigerator, and drank it down in one gulp before she could recover.

Perhaps because she gained power too quickly, although her intelligence was increasing and she no longer felt tired even after several days without rest, Jolyne was still more accustomed to a normal biological clock.

"Where were you last night?"

A voice came from behind her. Ai Haibara, wearing pajamas, was leaning against the door, rubbing her eyes.

Having not seen Ai Haibara for a few days, Jolyne also felt a little nostalgic. After putting her things away, she casually replied, "I just went to Paradise. Did anything happen yesterday?"

When Jolyne asked her this, Ai Haibara looked a little strange, unsure of how to answer.

Looking at Jolyne, Ai Haibara realized that Jolyne seemed a little more pleasing to the eye, and she inexplicably felt a special connection with her.

This is because Jolyne's charm has reached 9 points, while the average person only has 5 points.

After thinking it over, Ai Haibara decided to tell him the truth normally.

"The landlady came last night."

"Ah."

"She fell into that hole."

"Ok?"

Xu Lun glanced around the living room, making sure the landlady was no longer there, and asked with a headache, "Was she hurt?"

So what if they've been discovered? Jolyne isn't short of money anyway; she's just waiting for Yukinoshita to send the funds.

"She wasn't injured, but she seemed a bit socially awkward."

Ai Haibara recalled that it was Shiina Mahiru who came up last night to help Aso Miyuri escape her predicament.

It has to be said that Miyuki Aso's body really looks like that of an elementary school student.

"I'll take care of it later."

Just then, Jolyne's phone rang. Having gone through the Demon Slayer world, she had obtained Yukinoshita's contact information.

Ai Haibara stood quietly to one side, watching Jolyne's changing expression.

"Is everything ready?"

"I've prepared 30 million yen for you here, but of course that's not enough, so the apartment you live in is now yours too."

Yukino Yukinoshita was on the phone on the other side, after all, the money was spent by Yukino's mother, and she couldn't just leave without explaining anything.

Yukino and Yukinoshita were both curious about the other end of the phone. According to Yukinoshita, the A-level rating they received was entirely due to the other party's deal.

Then, they heard a surprised voice coming from the other side.

"An apartment? That's all? Has Yukino gone bankrupt?"

The atmosphere was somewhat tense. Under the gaze of the two, Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath and explained, "It's not just one room, it's the whole apartment. That two-story apartment building, including the real estate, is all yours."

Jolyne was somewhat surprised. Although he didn't care about the price of the house, he knew that the apartment was ridiculously valuable.

After all, this is not the suburbs of Chiba, and the green space covers more than 200 square meters.

Most importantly, you don't have to move out of your comfort zone!

As expected of Yukino Yukinoshita, she easily met Jolyne's expectations.

"So, when will the 30 million yen arrive?"

After hanging up the phone, Ai Haibara came closer.

"What did you do to earn enough for a house?"

"They gave up a small reward."

Jolyne then began to wonder how Yukinoshita had convinced the landlady to sell the house.

Yukino's family owns a construction company, so they must have some connections in this area.

Before Jolyne could go to the landlady to find out what was going on, Aso Miyuki, dressed in a secretary's suit, had already knocked on the door.

Looking around the room, Miyuki Aso noticed Ai Haibara and her expression froze.

"Ms. Aso, please come in."

In the awkward atmosphere, Asou Miyuri chose to stop paying attention to Haibara Ai, the elementary school student, and sat sideways on the sofa, handing over the house contract.

"what is this?"

Jolyne glanced at it and discovered that it wasn't just about transferring real estate.

"It's a rental agreement. Even though the house is yours, I don't want to leave the place I've lived in for so long so easily."

Besides feeling ashamed, Miyuki Aso also looked confused, not understanding how the sold house had been transferred to Jolyne's hands, and how the buyer had specifically asked her to deliver it.

Moving a little closer, Asou Miyuki leaned against Jolyne, lifted a strand of curly hair by her ear, and said with feigned pity, "Mr. Jolyne, you won't kick me out, will you? I can pay more for the rent."

Miyuki Aso emphasized the word "sacrifice" quite heavily.

Jolyne glanced at her speechlessly. With that petite body, she'd probably get pierced through.

"Renting a room is no problem, but Ms. Aso, could you please introduce the residents of this apartment building?"

The apartment has two floors, with four rooms on each floor. Jolyne's room is 202, next door is Kirisu Mafuyu's room 201, downstairs is Shiina Mahiru's room 102, as for Aso Miyuri, her room is 101, the rooms next to hers 203 and 204 are unoccupied, and there are two other rooms downstairs that Jolyne didn't notice.

Miyuki Aso handed over another small bag, which contained spare keys to each room and the tenants' contracts.

"The resident of 104 is named Yukino Fuyuki. She has a very aloof personality, but she is a great beauty. As for 103, no one lives there."

Xu Lun took out the photo and glanced at it. She was indeed a great beauty, but was he the only male tenant here?

"Ms. Aso, let's go take a look at rooms 203 and 204."

Jolyne quickly made a decision. Rooms 203 and 204 were right next to him, and if necessary, they could be renovated to connect the three rooms. It was the perfect choice.

However, Miyuki Aso's gaze suddenly became unfocused. She awkwardly pulled her legs together and said, "There might be a small problem with 203 and 204..."

"what is the problem?"

Asou Miyuki said somewhat embarrassedly, "These two rooms seem a bit haunted..."

After saying that, she couldn't help but shiver.

"Haunted?"

Ai Haibara's interest was then piqued.

After all, this isn't your everyday life, so the ghost story might actually be true.

"That's right, it's haunted. My rooms used to be 203 and 204, but after some strange things happened, I moved out and chose to live in 101 instead."

It's clear that Miyuki Aso has indeed gone through something, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to Taipei 101, which is the furthest from the haunted room.

Jolyne asked, "If the room next door is haunted, why didn't you tell me about it?"

"Hey~"

Miyuki Aso simply stuck out her tongue, trying to act cute to get through the situation.

Now Xu Lun understood why he was the only man in the apartment; it turned out he had been brought there by Aso Miyuri to ward off evil spirits.

No wonder Miyuki Aso agreed to his stay without a second thought...

Chapter 92 Apartment

[This chapter has been ordered to be revised; please excuse any abrupt changes in sentence structure.]

"What strange thing happened?"

Ai Haibara asked Miyuki Aso curiously.

"The TV is always on from time to time, and I often have the illusion that I'm being watched when I'm in the room."

Ai Haibara frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Have you tried unplugging the power?"

Miyuki Aso shook her head helplessly. "It won't work. After the power is unplugged, strange noises will start coming from the room."

Jolyne decided to go next door to take a look himself; it was his house.

Even if there really were ghosts, it wouldn't work; Jolyne's Golden Light Spell was still effective.

Because she was going into the haunted room, Miyuki Aso even went back to her room to change her clothes.

The entire outfit was yellow, with two wide sleeves and only bandages covering the chest. Although she said it was a uniform for exorcising spirits, it didn't look proper.

As the key was turned, the scene inside the room was revealed.

The overall color is warm yellow, and it looks like it has been carefully decorated. It is better decorated than 202. Because it has two rooms, 203 only has a living room and a large open kitchen.

Jolyne activated her third eye, and the entire room became completely transparent.

Through the transparent world, he noticed that the so-called ghost was actually sitting on the television.

Ai Haibara also noticed the television through Jolyne's gaze, but unfortunately, she didn't have the ability to see ghosts. Feeling a bit bored, she began to think about which room to choose later.

Miyuki Aso had already started ringing the bell and was chanting some kind of spell.

The female ghost, with her black hair covering her face, wore a white dress and had a good figure. Noticing the three of them approaching, she tried to climb out of the television.

"Sadako?"

Looking at her actions, Jolyne thought strangely.

Walking up to her, Joren brushed aside the female ghost's hair. She was fairly pretty, unlike the disgusting appearance of the evil spirits outside, which put him at ease.

The female ghost was stunned, blankly feeling the warmth coming from her face.

The next moment, she suddenly felt the warm person in front of her turn into cold darkness.

Several tentacles seemed to extend from the ordinary black dress, dragging her body into it.

After resolving the matter, Jolyne collected the rent under Miyuki Aso's incredulous gaze and then kicked her out.

Before Ai Haibara could even say which room she wanted, Jolyne had already released Saeko Busujima, Shizuka Marikawa, and Mitsuri Kanroji.

Shizuka Marikawa rushed over, "Why did you keep us waiting for so long?"

Kanroji Mitsuri also wanted to join in, but before she could, Marikawa Shizuka beat her to it.

"Is this Jolyne's home?"

Saeko Busujima looked around and quickly noticed Ai Haibara standing to one side.

Ai Haibara: "...What's going on with so many of them?"

……

It took some time to explain things to each other before Jolyne released Jorogumo to begin renovating the apartment building.

The current Jorogumo possesses the abilities of Rui, Enmu, and Nakime, and her bloodline concentration continues to increase, making her a fully enhanced version of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Although the apartment is not located in the Infinite City, it is still possible to modify it with some controlled materials.

In the blink of an eye, the four apartments were connected, forming a T-shaped structure.

"I want to live in 103." After glancing at the beautiful women surrounding Jolyne, Ai Haibara spoke first and walked down the wooden stairs.

"no problem."

Jolyne readily agreed. He would also feel uncomfortable if Ai Haibara kept an eye on him every day. Meanwhile, Shizuka Marikawa cheered and jumped for joy. Just as she squeezed into Jolyne's arms and lowered her face, she bumped into Ai Haibara, who was turning back to get her clothes.

Ai Haibara's heart skipped a beat, but she remained cold and unwilling to react.

After all, she had only known Jolyne for two days, and it was already a kindness that he was willing to take her in. It was not her place to dictate what Jolyne did.

Ai Haibara silently set a goal for herself.
