——————————————————————
After getting out of the car, Gu Xi looked around. For some reason, in his eyes, the city always felt dilapidated, desolate, and miserable.
The maple leaf park that the driver pointed out had twisted trees and eerie roads. Not to mention at night, even in broad daylight, there were not many people in the park.
The nearby B\u0026Bs are all quite old, with white lanterns hanging in the yard, and a shrine in front of the door, with some stones or wooden piles enshrined in water.
As for the abandoned old campus of an unknown school, Gu Xi always felt like dark clouds were hovering on the roof.
Gu Xi guessed that for such a large campus to be abandoned immediately, there was most likely something going on that couldn't be solved.
Judging from Gu Xi's many years of experience in novels, dead people are the most basic.
This driver always sends him to some weird places.
Gu Xi was about to turn around and ask, but the driver raised his left hand.
"I'm sorry, I have to take over the shift, so I'll go first."
After saying that, he got into the taxi and drove away without waiting for Gu Xi to say anything else.
Such a funny thing left Gu Xi speechless.
Gu Xi could clearly see that the driver did not have a watch on his hand.
I don’t know if he is deliberately tricking himself or if there is something really wrong.
But now that he was here, Gu Xi had no intention of running around anymore. He thought about it, glanced at the nearby B\u0026B building, picked the one that looked the cleanest and walked over.
"Don't knock, just come in."
As soon as I walked to the front of the B\u0026B building, the small speaker installed in front of the door rang.
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, still hesitating, when the small speaker said again: "What are you still waiting for? Don't knock on the door, just open the door and come in."
After hearing this, Gu Xi understood what was going on. He opened the courtyard door and walked in.
When Gu Xi stepped into the outer courtyard of the small building, he felt that the surrounding area seemed a little brighter.
At the same time, Da Guanyin's omnipresent eyes no longer stared at him.
Before Gu Xi could see clearly what was going on, the door of the small building was opened, and a woman in her twenties wearing a kimono walked out.
This woman was pretty good-looking. After seeing Gu Xi, she turned around in a circle and said, "Are you here to rent a B\u0026B?"
"yes, I……"
“I have a total of four rooms here, but I am only one person, so I only rent out one room.
But don’t worry, my B\u0026B is relatively cheap, priced at RMB 100,000 per day, which includes three meals a day, security during the day, and Warring States guards at night.
I am fully responsible for everything from doing laundry to going shopping.
Just stay calm and be fine. "
Hearing how enthusiastic this woman was, Gu Xi felt uncomfortable.
"Why, are my conditions not good?
Let me tell you, we can’t lower the price any more. We have Level 3 Knocking Tricks in my small building, and Tricks below Level 5 will not enter my courtyard.
In addition, there are 500 Shizu soldiers enshrined in my shrine, which can ensure that the Warring States battles at night will not affect the courtyard at all.
It costs money to keep these things, and I will never lower the price for 100,000 yuan. "
"Okay, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. I want a room where you can't open the window and see the Guanyin statue."
Seeing the woman getting more and more excited, Gu Xi quickly said: "As long as there is a room like this, I will live in it."
When the woman heard this, a smile appeared on her face: "Yes, not only yes, there are several rooms. I will take you in to see now."
Gu Xi was not in a hurry. He opened his briefcase, took out the money and counted it carefully.
"I only have 220,000 yuan now. Let's rent it for two days and then talk about the rest."
"Okay, guest, please come here and I will take you to your room."
After saying that, the woman took Gu Xi's hand and headed towards the front door of the small building.
In the past, the woman introduced herself there.
"My name is Gotou Mino. This is a house passed down from my family. It has been built here for more than eighty years. The stone ancestors outside were begged by my grandfather personally. You can believe in their strength.
These flowers were planted by my father, and they also have some spirituality. When Shi Zu cannot resist the enemy, they can turn into a city wall to protect us overnight.
My small building has two floors. The first floor is the living room, kitchen, hot spring bathroom, and a guest bedroom. The upstairs is three bedrooms. Among the four rooms, only the east one on the second floor can be used. No need to see the Guanyin statue. "
"Okay, then I'll live in that room."
Gu Xi just wanted to see such a big Guanyin statue without looking up.
As for where to stay and whether the room is good or not, he doesn't care at all.
"By the way, you mentioned before that the knockers you have here are level 3 knockers. What do you mean they can't enter the courtyard if they are below level 5?"
"Guest, you are from out of town. You may not know the situation here. There are two types of weirdness here. One is the weirdness that wanders around, and the other is the weirdness that has a fixed territory.
Generally, wandering weirdos will not go to other weird places.
Therefore, most people will keep a weirdo in their homes. As long as it does not violate the weirdo's taboos, it can keep the family safe.
The Knocking Scam in my house is like this. His taboo is very simple. You cannot knock on the door. If you knock on his territory, he will appear behind you. After knocking three times, you will be dragged to a door that has never been used before. The door that no one sees will never appear again.
So don’t take the taboos seriously. In this city, even Guanyin cannot save you if you break the taboos. "
Listening to Wudou Mino's words, Gu Xi thought of the Order Mage he saw in front of the station.
This kind of world is probably the most suitable for this kind of profession, at least during the day.
As for the situation at night, Gu Xi has not seen it yet, and he is not sure what the scenery in the room is like.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi asked simply.
"I won't violate this taboo, but I have something to ask. Is there anything weird about it? Why don't you just come in and care about your own business without even caring about whether there are other weird things in this territory?"
"Yes, there is, but that will cause a huge reaction from the weirdos on the nearby streets, and may even become the common enemy of the weirdos on the nearby streets. Normal weirdos will not do such a thing."
After listening to Wudou Mino's explanation, Gu Xi sighed in his heart.
You also know that what I said is general, but the extraordinary situation of the Order Mage is really difficult to control.
I am afraid that the current order mages are trying to find ways to get in touch with different levels of weirdness and prepare to absorb these weirdnesses to improve their own strength.
Seeing Gu Xi's uncertain expression, Wu Dou Mei Nao couldn't help but ask.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I was wondering where you usually sleep."
Hearing this, Gotou Mino's little face turned red, and she gave Gu Xi a gentle slap, "Of course, I'll sleep wherever you sleep!"
