After some searching, Su Xiao selected a residence and arrived at the community where it was located that afternoon.
It was a somewhat run-down community on the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, transportation was still fairly convenient.
The community was rather quiet, with only a few elderly people sitting together and playing chess.
That was how older communities usually were, with mostly elderly residents. However, the greenery here was quite good. Compared with the polluted air in the city center, the air here was clearly much better.
From a distance, Su Xiao spotted a young man dressed in a suit, seemingly waiting for someone. Every so often, he glanced at his wristwatch.
Su Xiao walked over. The young man noticed him approaching, his eyes lighting up as he hurried over.
"Hello, are you Mr. Su? I'm Xiao Ji, an agent from Sunshine Housing Network."
Su Xiao nodded. He was currently using the alias Su Xiao, and this name came with a legitimate identity, complete with an ID card and everything else. His train tickets, phone card, and other items had all been obtained under this identity.
In this day and age, without a legitimate identity, one could hardly take a single step.
"That's me. Take me to see the place."
Agent Xiao Ji immediately became enthusiastic and began introducing the residence to Su Xiao.
"Mr. Su, to be frank, a monthly rent of eight hundred is an incredibly good deal. Considering the current real estate outlook in DL City, if your finances allow it, buying this residence would also be an excellent choice..."
The enthusiastic introduction began, and Su Xiao smiled as he dealt with it.
He certainly wasn't going to buy the place. With his status as a wanted criminal, nobody knew how long he could stay here. He had to be ready to flee at any moment.
Judging from Reincarnation Paradise's attitude, it didn't want Contractors interfering with the real world. This place might be the foundation of Reincarnation Paradise.
Based on Su Xiao's previous observations, most Contractors should have come from the real world. That was why Reincarnation Paradise avoided allowing Contractors to interfere with it.
While Su Xiao was thinking, he had already arrived before the room.
"This is it, Mr. Su. Please, go ahead."
Agent Xiao Ji opened the door, but his movements were hurried, as if he were in a rush.
"Do you have something urgent to deal with?"
Su Xiao studied Agent Xiao Ji's expression. There was nothing unusual about him, only a trace of anxiety.
"Nothing serious. I just urgently need to use the bathroom. Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Su."
Su Xiao entered the room. The first thing he saw was a spacious living room. It had already been renovated, and the renovation was quite decent. The warm style was very suitable for long-term residence.
Su Xiao walked around the room once. It had good ventilation and faced the sun. All kinds of facilities were available, so he didn't need to prepare anything and could move in with just his luggage.
He knocked on the wall and roughly judged its thickness. The walls of older communities like this were generally quite thick, which meant the soundproofing was better.
"Not bad. I'll rent this place."
Agent Xiao Ji's face lit up. This counted toward his performance.
"Great, Mr. Su. Since the price is quite favorable, the minimum rental period here is one year. This is the contract. Please take a look."
Su Xiao checked the contract. Finding no problems, he paid and signed it. The residence was officially rented.
After everything was completed, Agent Xiao Ji and Su Xiao politely said goodbye. However, the other man's next actions were somewhat strange.
Agent Xiao Ji first opened the door. Only after confirming that no one was in the corridor did he hurry away.
Su Xiao noticed this. He had already felt that the agent was somewhat strange.
Now it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the residence itself. Rather, there were some people living in the building whom the agent feared.
"Interesting."
Su Xiao chuckled. The residence with rent as high as a hundred thousand had already been bizarre enough, and now he had rented a place in another "extraordinary" community.
But Su Xiao didn't care. He himself was a wanted criminal. Was he supposed to fear other people? That was absurd.
Su Xiao sat on the living-room sofa, suddenly unsure of what to do.
The enemy he had killed earlier was the last one he had been able to find. Moreover, he was currently in another region, so his revenge could only be postponed for the time being. It was an unavoidable choice.
Although he now possessed superhuman strength, that didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted.
Revenge couldn't be accomplished in a fit of passion. He had endured for three years already, so waiting a little longer was nothing.
Furthermore, Su Xiao believed that as his strength gradually increased, he would have more ways to find his enemies.
After gradually calming down, Su Xiao began planning what to do next.
He had found a stable residence. The next thing to do was wait for Reincarnation Paradise's summons and increase his strength within Reincarnation Paradise.
"Bzzz~, bzzz."
The phone suddenly vibrated. Someone was calling Su Xiao. He had never liked using ringtones.
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was actually listed as "Unknown Number." After answering, Su Xiao said nothing.
"Friend, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why aren't you here yet?"
Su Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. It was the voice of the man from the residence with the hundred-thousand rent.
"Renting your place is too much trouble. I'm hanging up."
With that, Su Xiao pretended to hang up.
"Wait." The voice on the phone sounded slightly urgent, and Su Xiao's finger stopped in midair.
"Friend, we're all risking our lives in Paradise. How about meeting in person?"
Su Xiao rose to his feet with a whoosh. The mention of Paradise made him think of Reincarnation Paradise.
"Not interested."
Su Xiao's voice was calm, but he suddenly sensed something was wrong. Why had he called that number in the first place?
He wasn't short of money, but a rent of a hundred thousand was absurd when he thought about it now. He wasn't an idiot with money to burn.
As his thoughts raced, Su Xiao realized that there might be something wrong with the rental advertisement. He had actually called the number on a whim. At the time, he had thought that a hundred thousand wasn't much and that the quality of the residence had to be excellent.
But now that he thought about it, it was utterly ridiculous.
Hypnosis? No. Su Xiao immediately rejected the idea. He had seen hypnosis before, and it was nowhere near this miraculous. That advertisement was more like a form of psychological suggestion.
"Don't make me force you. Come meet me immediately, or I'll wipe you out sooner or later."
The man on the phone had begun issuing an undisguised threat.
"A hyena's howl. Tough words should be spoken while your foot is on your enemy's head, not over the phone."
With that, Su Xiao hung up. He wasn't worried in the slightest that the other party could track his location.
The phone he was using had cost him a great deal of money and could block tracking.
In a small courtyard in an urban-rural fringe area, a shirtless Strong Man sat on a small stool, gripping the phone tightly with a twisted expression.
"Old Five, did the people above track the location of this phone?"
Strong Man roared, tugging at the scar-covered face.
A thin figure darted out of a bungalow a few steps away.
"Boss, the other party has quite a background. The phone is completely protected against tracking. He might be military personnel. The people above replied that we should give up."
The scar-faced Strong Man's gaze turned noticeably more vicious.
"Give up? Do you know how many Paradise Coins I spent to create that advertisement? A full ten thousand! Those mental-type Mage Lords are really ruthless."
Although the scar-faced Strong Man said that, he had already given up halfway in his heart.
Only Contractors could see that advertisement, and Contractors with more than twenty points in Intelligence Attribute could resist it. The other party had only called him once, which meant that the other party's Intelligence Attribute was probably not low.
If the other party was a Mage Lord~, the scar-faced Strong Man's heart chilled, and he no longer wanted to provoke Su Xiao.
After Su Xiao signed a contract with Reincarnation Paradise, the real appearance of the real world gradually began revealing itself to him.
Although Reincarnation Paradise did not support Contractors interfering with the real world, there were always people willing to take risks under the lure of enormous profits.
What they didn't know was that Reincarnation Paradise contained an existence called Hunters, who specialized in dealing with them.
Rat-a-tat-tat~, a blue-flaming Gatling gun.
