Haunted house.

Haunted house.

Housing prices in these areas are usually very cheap.

The fiercer it is, the cheaper it is.

That was Kang De's plan. He would first ask around the neighborhood if there were any strange houses. If so, Master Kang could make a move... The price would definitely be much cheaper than the market price.

As for ghosts? As for haunted houses? Are you kidding me? See that fist the size of a vinegar jar?

I'm super brave.

But he was overthinking it.

When the policewoman heard his true purpose, she exchanged a glance with her colleague next to her.

It is a citizen's legal right to go to the police station to check if there has been a murder case when they want to buy a house. However, it is against procedure to go to the police station to check if a house has been haunted before even buying it.

She glanced at Kang De regretfully, then shook her head apologetically, saying, "This is against the rules..."

Kang De frowned, his allure enhanced by the Charm Necklace, making him utterly captivating. The stunningly handsome man whispered, "Couldn't you make an exception? Officer, I really do want to buy a house..."

In fact, what rules and procedures in this world fear most is a bit of coquetry.

The policewoman stuck to her principles, but the young woman next to her casually remarked, "Didn't Captain Zhao mention that incident at dinner last night? It wasn't a big deal."

Kang De's captivating eyes immediately looked over.

The policeman said, "Oh dear, it's like this. A few days ago, a resident in Huaxing Garden did call the police, saying that their house was haunted. Terrifying things often happened after midnight, causing them to have nightmares and feel listless all day. We have to handle their call, whether it's sending people there to stay up all night or staking out downstairs, as long as we go, the haunting stops. That family is almost going crazy—if it weren't for their near-collapse, we would have treated it as a false report."

"That's really weird?"

Kang De became interested. "So they're planning to sell the house?"

The policewoman shook her head and said, "No, that happened several days ago; it's already been sold."

Kang De, growing anxious, asked, "To whom was it sold?"

"A real estate agent."

The policewoman smiled and said, "In today's society, with housing prices so high, so what if it's a haunted house? The price is so cheap, what does it matter if there are ghosts? There are plenty of people who don't care, after all, this is a scientific society."

"Some real estate companies or investors deal in haunted houses because they are cheap. If the ghost turns out to be fake, they can resell them and make a huge profit, right?"

Kang De pondered for a moment, then, observing the policewoman's meaningful smile, he suddenly said, "Judging from your expression, that real estate agent with such good business acumen... has also encountered a ghost?"

"Yes, he came to call the police, crying his eyes out, saying he didn't want to buy it anymore and wanted to return the house to that family, but they wouldn't agree, so they started arguing and even said they'd go to court..."

Kang De laughed, "Then, one last question: where does this agent work?"

This is a borderline case; it doesn't directly reveal other people's privacy.

So the policewoman hesitated for a moment. "I love myself..."

After leaving the police station, Kang De took off the necklace.

While a necklace that boosts your charm has its advantages, transforming you into a universally adored beauty, it also has a side effect: it will make others have a very high level of affection for you.

Just like those two policewomen, they would very earnestly advise Kang De not to buy it.

Because, "It really is quite eerie."

He didn't want to go to a real estate agency to buy a house, only to have the agent suddenly become gay, develop a strong liking for him, and even refuse to sell him a property that was clearly problematic.

Kang De found a "I Love Myself [beep--]" store in the area near Huaxing Garden. When he opened the door, the real estate agents in suits stood up and showed their customer service smiles.

Kang De succinctly stated, "I'm looking for an agent; I want to buy his haunted house."

Although the agents were somewhat disappointed, they still asked Kang De to sit down and offered him tea. Then they started making phone calls. A little while later, someone burst in from outside.

The real estate agent, wearing glasses and with a shaved head, looked simple and refined, instantly making a good impression. He glanced around the room and immediately extended his hand. "Hello! My surname is Xu!"

"Mr. Xu, my surname is Kang."

Kang De succinctly stated, "You're probably having a really tough time dealing with that haunted house right now, so sell it to me."

Agent Xu, asked in surprise, "Where did you find out?"

"It's a secret," Kang De said. "Name your price. This house is a hot potato now. If you sell it to someone who doesn't know the truth, they'll be frightened, suffer losses, and come back to hold you accountable. Why not sell it to me? Even if there really is something fishy inside, I won't be afraid, and I certainly won't cause trouble for Mr. Xu."

The year-long journey to another world did have some effect. If it were before he transmigrated, Kang De wouldn't have spoken so fluently, nor would he have possessed such an eloquent and confident demeanor.

Agent Xu, was taken aback again.

He had originally intended to go around in circles with Kang De, to argue his point and increase the house's value, but seeing Kant's current state, he dared not say anything reckless.

But the profit-seeking nature of merchants remains.

He nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Kang, you're very straightforward. Let's name a price then. There are indeed some problems with that house, so we'll go with 70% of the market price... how about that!"

Kang De sneered, "You're trying to fool me. Haunted houses that are particularly eerie, dangerous, or where major murders have occurred usually sell for 40% to 50% of the original price. You're too greedy."

Agent Xu was taken aback again, then his expression became somewhat embarrassed.

Kang De overlooked one thing: modern society is, after all, a society where everyone is equal and the art of speaking is important. His direct accusation made the other person feel embarrassed.

--Damn it, it's not like I only sell to you. At worst, I'll go to a temple and find a high-ranking monk or something to look at the feng shui, exorcise the demons, and drive the ghosts away, wouldn't that solve the problem?

We won't have any problem selling them all at that time!

Agent Xu's expression turned somewhat pale, and he was about to refuse Kang De's request when the door was pushed open, drawing everyone's attention. A girl walked in, her high heels barely touching the ground.

Then he sat down next to Kang De.

Agent Xu, narrowed his eyes and judged the girl's financial status from her bag, jewelry, and clothes. He immediately put on a smile and said, "Miss, how can I help you?"

Kang De frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Old Wang pulled out his ID card from his bag. "Check in the system. Our family is a client of your company. What's the lowest price you're willing to sell this house for?"

The Agent Xu, checked the ID card, then handed it back respectfully with both hands. "Hello, Ms. Wang! To be honest, I bought this house for 60% of the original price. You can't expect me to lose money, can you?"

Old Wang nodded, then took out another bank card. "Swipe it, full payment. I know you have a special channel; the housing authority paperwork and other relevant documents need to be ready today."

Kang De said in a deep voice, "Hey."

Old Wang reached into Kang De's pocket, pulled out his ID card and household registration booklet, and handed them over all at once. "The property deed should be in his name; it needs to be done today."

Kang De asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

Even at a 60% discount, that's still close to two million. Although Old Wang is a rich second-generation, he's still just a student. How could he possibly have that much liquid capital?

"I asked my dad for it, and I've already convinced him, so there's no need to worry."

Old Wang turned his head and laughed, "If he calls you, just give him a polite answer."

Kang De said softly, "Xiaoman..."

Agent Xu began printing documents with great efficiency. He was a shrewd man and never said anything he shouldn't. He remained calm, but his gaze still subtly swept over Kang De.

Pshaw... pretty boy.

Kang De couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you even a little bit surprised?"

"That's strange, of course it's strange." Old Wang leaned back slightly, her shapely figure slightly sagging. "But you're hesitant to tell me, you must have your concerns... If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me yet."

She added, "So I won't worry."

Kang De remained silent.

Old Wang's direct approach left him at a loss.

"We won't have that much money in the future."

Leaving the real estate agency, Agent Xu patted his chest and said, "I guarantee it will be done today. Old Wang and Kang De didn't even bother to inspect the houses in person; they just kept talking about buying. It saved me a lot of trouble."

Kang De said, "I have some gold of dubious origin. I'll give it to you later. See if Uncle Wang has any way to sell it..."

--Oh my god! It's here! The gold I exchanged in the Main God Space!

The keys have been handed to Kang De. Once the formalities are completed, the house will officially belong to Kang De within the national system—or rather, it is now Kang De's.

Old Wang said, "Shall we go take a look?"

Kang De immediately shook his head and said, "No, you see, even that Agent Xu, after finding out you were one of his big clients, very seriously said maybe we should forget it, because the house really is very eerie... better safe than sorry."

Old Wang smiled and said, "Then we won't stay there?"

Kang De smiled and said, "I'll call my dad. He knows some highly skilled masters who can exorcise demons. If they succeed, we'll be set for life."

Old Wang laughed.

She now understood why Kang De had bought the haunted house.

As someone who plays the infinite flow genre, what do demons and monsters matter if they truly exist?

The two went home together. In the evening, Agent Xu, personally delivered all the documents. He felt relieved to have gotten rid of the hot potato, but also a little worried.

"Mr. Kang De..."

He said, "That house is definitely a bit eerie..."

Kang De laughed and said, "It's alright, I know a very famous exorcist."

A batch of packages arrived today. Kang De bought several cosplay sets. He hasn't used the Fantasy Grand Construction enchantment in a long time, so he needs to study it carefully.

As dusk approached and night fell, he stood up, opened the door, and left the residential area.

Heading to his new house.

What he didn't know was that Old Wang was standing by the bedside, watching his departing figure, hesitating for a long time before deciding not to go downstairs to catch up.

Huaxing Garden.

The property management and other matters hadn't been settled yet, but those were minor issues. Kang De climbed the steps and arrived at the front door of his new home. The cold lights in the corridor flickered incessantly, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

For some reason, I feel a bit cold.

But there's probably some psychological factor involved too.

The poor homeowner here, with this incident causing not only a loss of assets for their own family, but also potentially affecting their neighbors...

He used the key to open the door.

A cold, slightly musty smell wafted towards me.

He didn't turn on the lights, walked around the dark living room, looked at the general layout, then turned and headed towards the bedroom, closing the door. Just to be safe, he was going to sleep there.

Then activate your ability to go to the White Mist World.

I'm a little excited.

The fact that the map here is now open means that the shooting club in the northern business center will be open to him, offering a variety of guns to choose from.

This was Kang De's greatest asset in returning to the other world.

More powerful weapons.

In other words...

After exploring the map, I'll need to consider leaving.

The thought of Old Wang's beautiful face, which could be both happy and angry, filled him with complex emotions.

Should we tell Old Wang about this...?

She must be very worried...

With these feelings in mind, he closed his eyes drowsily and drifted off to sleep.

Time moves forward smoothly.

Nothing happened.

Midnight.

The clock in the living room struck twelve.

Suddenly, a cold, piercing, and foul-smelling wind silently swept through the quiet house.

The hands of the clock swung back and forth erratically.

The bathroom faucet was suddenly turned on.

Blood-red liquid leaked out of it.

From the pitch-black ground rose something even darker, like hair gathered together, like an evil mass interwoven from the darkest of things, and a series of low, eerie sounds, like the wails of ghosts, spread out in all directions.

Two pale white hands, with bright red fingernails, emerged from the black mass on the ground.

Then comes the head.

The tangled black hair on its head rolled inward, revealing a pale face with an excited and ferocious look, as if it had discovered a living creature. It floated up and raised its sharp fingernails.

I hesitated for a moment.

He seemed to be thinking about how to create audacious intruders.

She grinned maliciously, whispered, and cried as she walked step by step toward the bedroom door.

The bloody trail stretched very long on the ground.

She opened her mouth wide, letting out a low, excited moan. Her next step was to rush into the room, make the person inside scream and suffer, and then devour and enjoy him!

The female ghost made a move to pounce.

But the next moment, the door was suddenly flung open!

Kang De wore the Cherub Holy Land Walking Battle Boots, Unicorn War Helm of Saint Kaini Battle Armor. Radiant Cross blessed by a cardinal hung on his chest, emanating a light that detected evil forces.

He poured the bottle of Holy Water No. 6 onto the Needle of Keous, the Death-Banisher Greatsword used by the paladin Astoria to slay the death knight. The 124 Holy Marks on the greatsword lit up one by one, and the Holy Light Flame burned fiercely on the sword surface!

Kang De gripped the Needle of Keous with both hands, took a step forward, raised his greatsword high, holy flames swirling around it, and slashed fiercely at the already stunned female ghost opposite him!

Praise the sun!

PS1: 4,000-word update.

PS2: By the way, let me talk about last night. I woke up around 3 AM feeling cold. Yes, I had a high fever. Even under my winter blanket, my hands and feet were cold. I couldn't take it anymore, so I got up, took some medicine, drank hot water, and sweated it out before I felt better. Then I basically didn't sleep well again. I still have a sore throat, a fever, and feel cold. Today, my mind is foggy. I don't know if it's from the fever or from not getting enough sleep. I was thinking of taking the day off, but I wrote a little something anyway, since it's not too late... I hope it's not too bad.

PS3: But this is the only update for today. My brain is about to explode. If it's still like this tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital for a shot and an IV drip.
