Lord of Eternal Darkness

Li Xiaoming walked into this gloomy apartment. Hearing what the landlord said, there seemed to be a few tenants he could meet today, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, he believed that few of the people living in this apartment were normal people, so this was interesting.

"By the way, they are in the living room. Say hello to them first. I haven't finished my herbal studies just now. Please wait a moment."

Then the lonely ghost hurried away again.

When I walked in, I found several people sitting in the living room watching TV. The two new tenants who appeared looked familiar.

They seemed to be talking about something, but Li Xiaoming did not interrupt and chose to listen quietly.

The young man complained angrily: "Damn it, all the rat poison I bought was eaten, like eating jelly beans, and all the traps were triggered, but I couldn't see half of the hair on those beasts! what is going on?"

"Maybe the little mice are too cunning. You don't need to worry about these mice." The woman next to her comforted her.

It is worth noting that the woman’s curly hair hangs down her shoulders and is dyed in colorful colors, making her look quite dreamy.

The man looked at the girl, his expression gradually softened, and his words revealed grievances.

"I also thought, key rats are so disgusting. I have never seen them in the environment where I lived before. Think about these rats crawling in and out of the sewers every day, carrying unknown germs. The cholera plague in ancient times all passed through this thing As a media, the most important thing is that it is too noisy, and it will be chattering non-stop at night."

Mary chewed a small biscuit gracefully and said nonchalantly: "Maybe you can ask Xiaogu and his cat son to help."

The man said dejectedly: "No, that black cat refuses to go downstairs at night. It stays above the second floor and lingers, and its barking is more annoying than a mouse."

Mary said: "There is nothing you can do. Maybe you can ask a professional pest control company to deal with cockroaches, mice, flies and mosquitoes easily."

"Okay, that's the only way to do it, but I think if I leave it to them, the effect may not be obvious. I feel strange power fluctuations in this house. Miss Liz, why don't we change apartments?"

"Where's the money?"

The girl just replied calmly.

The man suddenly lowered his shoulders, with an unwilling expression on his face, and murmured in a low voice: "If in the past, I could buy a 200-square-meter house in this city-state, and wait, I would definitely go back to the past. glory."

Mary looked at the disappointed young man and said, "Haha, maybe you are crazy. I have never met those mice after living here for three months."

"No, these mice must be there!" he shouted excitedly.

Mary said: "Okay, come on. In this case, I will take care of the food to prevent it from being ruined by small animals. By the way, would you like a cup of fresh black tea?"

When the man heard this, he shook his head violently.

Li Xiaoming touched his chin as if thinking. After comparing it with his memory, he found that the man was Jie Xiaohei.

The son of the deputy city lord of Innocence City, I met him last time in school. He saved a girl, was seriously injured, and was sent to the hospital.

As for this woman, I had seen her in the Swan Tavern, and she seemed to be the secretary of the deputy city lord. After all, her colorful hair was particularly eye-catching and left a deep impression on her.

It's strange to say that I seemed to have met Liz once at Daoxiang Restaurant, but I always felt that she was not the same person. I'll find a chance to ask next time.

Li Xiaoming knocked on the door. Everyone looked around and saw a handsome man waiting silently at the door.

"Dear Ming, welcome to this apartment." Mary was very happy and ran over to give him a hug.

Of course, the main thought in my heart is that this person is the only one willing to taste the snacks I made.

Li Xiaoming reluctantly opened his arms and hugged her. After all, this young lady was too big to refuse. I have to say that this hug was very warm. If Mo Yue saw it, she would be jealous and give herself a lesson.

Jie Xiaohei was stunned, stood up and said happily: "Welcome, you are the new tenant the landlord said, he can always introduce some strange people, we have met, right? Thank you for saving my life last time .”

Li Xiaoming smiled and nodded. If he knew that he was the one who caused him to be like this, what kind of revenge would he take?

If the other party doesn't notice anything, then he can continue acting and don't rush to take action for the time being.

Liz said with some surprise: "Li Xiaoming? I am Liz, do you still remember me?"

Taking a closer look, this lady has really not changed much. She is as elegant, noble and unconventional as when we met in the bar.

Li Xiaoming said: "Of course I remember it. How could a beauty with outstanding style like you forget it?"

Jie Xiaohei next to him flashed a jealous expression, and when his eyes met Li Xiaoming's, he turned his head hurriedly.

Li Xiaoming said: "Let's talk about the redundant old topics later when we have time. Forgive me for taking the liberty of eavesdropping on your speech. I seem to have encountered a little trouble. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Oh? You also work part-time at a pest control company?" Mary asked unexpectedly.

"That's not true, but from what I heard from Jie Xiaohei, it seems that it's not an ordinary mouse, it's most likely a nightmare beast. I happen to be a dreamer, and the society I founded happens to be a professional counterpart to deal with these difficult incidents."

“So how much do you charge?”

Jie Xiaohei couldn't believe that those rats were just ordinary creatures, but he was still very happy to hear that the other party was helping.

"It's free, just think of it as doing your neighbors a favor."

Li Xiaoming put on his signature sunny smile, "It's free, but it doesn't mean I won't make money. After all, the club has just been established, and it needs something curious to attract attention, strengthen the reputation of the club, and get a lot of outside work."

Jie Xiaohei looked at the young man in front of him. Although he felt that he was extraordinary, he was also among the elites on the list.

But it always feels unreliable, but now that I am relatively poor, I have the attitude of giving free things a try.

He still decided to hand over the entrustment to Li Xiaoming.

"Then I'll excuse you. I'll treat you to a big meal after this."

Li Xiaoming did not refuse, sat down on the sofa, and began to ask seriously.

"No problem. Can we talk specifically about those rats?"

"Okay, that's no problem."

Jie Xiaohei finally found an audience for his complaints, and was ready to vent all his dissatisfaction with the mouse in the past few weeks.

Just then the old violinist came down from upstairs, looking a little tired and with big dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not rested all night.

"Miss Mary, please make me a cup of black tea." He said weakly, suddenly noticing Li Xiaoming.

"Why are you here again?"

"Because I'm going to live here."

"welcome."

Ai Deqi said casually, and then sat on the sofa. The other two people were a little surprised when they saw each other. They didn't expect that Li Xiaoming and this strange old man would meet each other.

Jie Xiaohei said: "It seems that you all got to know each other quite well when we were away yesterday. No wonder Miss Mary is so enthusiastic."

"Oh, I don't want to know him." Adachi said nonchalantly.

Everyone is used to this old man's strange attitude. It seems that he treats everyone like that.

"Okay, don't worry about it. His temper is just so weird. Do you want to try my new chocolate biscuits?" Miss Mary happily handed over the food.

Everyone's pupils shrank instantly, and their stomachs ached for some unknown reason.

"In the afternoon, after lunch, if you eat chocolate, will you gain weight easily?"

Liz even deliberately wanted to remind Li Xiaoming not to taste gifts from the devil easily.

"It's okay. I also hope that I can gain some weight. I have been working out recently and need high-calorie food to replenish energy."

Li Xiaoming happily picked up the biscuits and started tasting them, eating them with relish.

Ed Qi could not help but twitch her eyebrows, Jie Xiaohe secretly gave a thumbs up, and Liz could only choose to give her silent blessing.

"It seems that everyone has arrived." Gu Gui, the landlord, appeared late.

"I'm sorry, I have work in the afternoon, so I'll leave the mouse issue to you." Liz looked at her phone, suddenly stood up and started walking out the door.

Gu Gui looked at the girl passing by and said, "This girl doesn't know what she's been busy with all day."

Jie Xiaohei had some regrets and thought he could stay with her for a while longer, but for now, the problem of killing rats was more important.

"Forget it, let's go back to the mouse issue. This thing is extremely annoying, and in my sleep, I can see them crawling all over the walls. They even rushed out of the door, swarmed into the street, and started biting. Humans and everything edible.”

Gu Gui said nonchalantly: "Oh, I told you about the child. It was just an unreasonable dream of yours. I see you are nervous every day."

He said excitedly: "No, these are all true, although I can't prove their existence. Those abominable little things must be hiding in some dark corner of the room, crawling in the dark, waiting for opportunities to emerge. Earth!”

Li Xiaoming said in confusion: "Where did these rats come from? There seems to be quite a lot of them. You haven't noticed them even after living here for so many days, right?"

Aideqi replied listlessly: "I'm sorry, I almost never heard it. It may be that the sound of the piano covers up the screams of these beasts. Well, if nothing happens, I will go upstairs to practice the piano."

Mary shook her head, "I don't know about this either. I didn't hear any rat noises. On the contrary, the desserts I made recently always have a few pieces missing for no reason. Of course, I also suspect that rats stole them."

Gu Gui laughed and complained in a low voice: "The dessert you made can be used directly as rat medicine. It is probably the most powerful rat medicine in the world. You can apply for a patent and sell it for money."

Mary smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, you have eaten and drank enough, are you ready to hit the road?"

Hearing this, Gu Gui immediately shrank his neck and ducked to the side.

Jie Xiaohei said: "It's normal that they can't hear. After all, these rats only move on the first floor and occasionally go to other floors. However, I suspect that the gathering point of rats is in the basement, where the fluctuations in supernatural powers are the most obvious. I didn't pay attention at first. , I thought there was some magical prop stored inside, but now the more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.”

"Basement? I see. If you want to investigate this dilapidated house, you have to do it step by step."

Jie Xiaohei said, "How about it? Are you also interested and want to open this door?"

The lonely ghost sneered and sneered: "If I were you, I would quietly be a fool, maintain an attitude of knowing nothing, and then live the happiest life."

Li Xiaoming was stunned. Indeed, the strange mouse that could freely travel through the wall was worthy of investigation, but the accompanying danger would also lead to greater disaster if not careful. Curiosity would kill the cat.

Seeing that something was wrong, Jie Xiaohei shouted: "Hey, you won't back down in the face of the battle, will you? You are entrusted by me. The newly established society only has so much ability, so it's better to close it down as soon as possible."

"You don't need to provoke me. I know it in my heart, but I don't know what is sealed in the basement. If possible, I would like to check the historical information about this apartment. Two days, two days will be enough. When the time comes, Give everyone peace."

Seeing Li Xiaoming's resolute attitude, the people around him were speechless.

Miss Mary twirled her red hair between her fingers in boredom, and then put her head on the table.

"Although I don't know what will happen, it's better to be careful. If it can't be handled, leave it to other high-level supernatural beings. If you can find a professional professional helper as a scientist, you can use the materialism aura to effectively avoid evil spirits. Demonic harm.”

Li Xiaoming said: "Thank you for reminding me. Since I have moved in today, I will definitely adhere to the purpose of getting along well with you and try my best to spend a happy few years with you."

Miss Mary said gently: "You don't have to be so polite. My biscuits seem to be baked. Do any of you want to try them?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around him froze in place instantly as if they were struck by a thunderbolt.

Aideqi said: "It's time to practice piano happily again. In order not to disturb your ears, I went back to the top floor to enjoy the music quietly. I wish you all a happy meal!"

Jie Xiaohei said with evasive eyes: "Suddenly I remembered that I still have homework after class today. I have to work hard to complete it so that I can inherit my father's glory and regain everything I deserve."

Gu Gui stood up and left, saying politely: "Ms. Mary, I'm sorry for being rude to you last time. Thinking about it carefully, I should have tried the medicine myself and my tongue failed, so I could say such despicable words. In order not to tarnish your delicious food, I’d better wait until my tongue heals before talking.”

"Well, seeing as you are still being sincere and you haven't collected the rent, I will forgive you."

Miss Mary looked at his leaving back, resting her chin on her hand, with a look of disapproval on her face.

When Gu Gui got up, he didn't forget to grab Li Xiaoming, trying to save the poor boy's life.

And he hinted with his eyes, come with me quickly, otherwise it will be too late, before things get irreversible.

Li Xiaoming said: "Mr. Gu, what's wrong with you? Are there sand in your eyes? Why did you keep hiding your face from me just now?"

"It's nothing, take care of yourself."

The lonely ghost sighed, his back gradually fading away looking a little lonely.
