The next day, Qian Ye went to the agency he had contacted previously according to the schedule. He had already scouted the house, so the process was not complicated.
This is a one-family house located in Sakurada Town, Yokohama. The public security is guaranteed. There is a station within a four-minute walk. From here, it is only a 40-minute drive to the center of the Tokyo metropolitan area. The transportation is convenient and the facilities nearby are complete.
It is a two-story, one-family building that has been built for two years. It has a construction area of 36 square meters, which means that the first floor is about more than 100 square meters. It comes with a yard with a small courtyard and two parking spaces. The fence is high and the privacy is good. .
The interior of the house has been renovated and comes with the most basic household equipment, such as kitchen appliances, bathtubs, etc. All that is needed is to purchase a sofa and bed.
"Half of the second floor is a balcony. It's a glass room. The glass is made of the latest bulletproof glass. Even if a motorcycle falls on it in the middle of the night, it won't be broken. Please rest assured."
The intermediary guarantees the ticket.
Qian Ye felt something was wrong: "Why did the motorcycle fall?"
The intermediary was a little puzzled: "Of course it's because I missed it."
Qian Ye: "..."
The intermediary suddenly remembered that Qian Ye was not a local, and quickly said with a smile: "Because this is Yokohama. Even sewer explosions, corpses floating in the river, commercial buildings being blasted, shootings in the middle of the night, oh, setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night are all normal. Phenomenon! You don’t have to worry. After you buy this house, our agency will give you free house insurance for the first five years. If anything happens, the insurance company will pay for it.”
Seeing that Qian Ye looked a little confused, the intermediary quickly said: "The insurance company is insured by the well-known Mori Shiki Co., Ltd. in Yokohama. Although it is three times more expensive than the market price, it is expensive for a reason, at least for those who bought the insurance Ninety-nine times, nothing will happen to the family!"
After hearing this, Qian Ye felt relieved. He is not afraid of the price, but is afraid that the insurance company will not pay compensation. "That's great. The price of this house is not small. I wouldn't dare to buy it without insurance."
Houses in the island country must be inspected by special personnel when they are handed over. As long as the house can be sold, there is no need to worry about any major hidden dangers. He is a cheerful person. After visiting the house, he proposed some details and asked the agent to find workers to handle them, and then he started signing the contract.
Once the money goes into the agency's pocket, the ownership of the house belongs to him.
The agent was very satisfied with Qianye's efficiency, and Qianye was also very satisfied with the house.
There are not many neighbors around, and each household is separated by a certain distance. The residents are basically middle- and upper-class people. This kind of people will pay more attention to privacy and independent space. He does not have to worry about being peeped by neighbors.
This is not to say that there are no bad people among rich people, but rich people definitely care about face more than barefoot people.
And because of Qianye's superpower, he occasionally invites friends of the deceased to his home for gatherings. It is best to have a safe place to live.
The house was settled on time, and the Audi he had ordered before was also within the planned time. The staff of the car dealer drove over and parked in the parking space. Then two moving trucks came over and sorted the furniture that Qian Ye had ordered in advance into categories. Put them in order.
The intermediary hadn't left yet, probably because the other party didn't expect to finalize such a big deal so quickly, so he just stared at the workers walking back and forth. Even the glass room on the second floor was decorated. Two rows of well cared for potted plants.
The originally empty house soon became filled with people.
In the small pond in the courtyard, there are also several small and vibrant carps.
The intermediary was ashamed: "Mr. Amamiya, you are the most capable person I have ever seen."
It's so strong that it doesn't feel strange that the other party was so strict in counting time in seconds when I called yesterday.
Qian Ye: "Compared to a hotel, it's really more comfortable to stay at home."
But the money he earned over the years has shrunk by more than half. No way, even though he made a lot of money from his part-time job, hiring the dead also costs money. The money he earned in this world needs to be divided into two parts, and one part is deposited in the bank of hell.
Now I only have more than 400 million yen left in my pocket.
Purchasing a new asset is always a joy.
Qian Ye felt that he had to have a good meal tonight. After seeing off the agency and staff, he thought about whether to try Yokohama's local specialties.
Yokohama’s specialties… in Chinatown, right?
With this in mind, he turned on his laptop, looked up the reputations of the stores in China Street, and ordered the one with the highest ratings. Very efficient, his takeaway arrived in less than half an hour.
When Qianye was about to open the box and start eating, his cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
Qianye glanced at the computer screen, then at the cell phone that showed a call from a stranger, and thought for two seconds before answering.
After listening to what the other party said, Qian Ye raised his eyebrows: "In other words, you are asking me to collect protection money?"
[It’s not protection money. Sir, I just came to Yokohama. My background is to expand some business. 】The hoarse and rough voice said so.
"Business?" Qianye said casually while looking at the screen and looking for a nearby gourmet restaurant that suited his liking to take notes, "No matter what kind of business it is, I don't need it. If necessary, I will go to the police or go to the The reason why a specialized and formal organization answers the phone is just to know why you have my contact information."
He got this number at the airport when he first arrived in Yokohama. Even the mobile phone was bought at that time, and the number has only been given to three people so far, one is Kunikida, one is an intermediary, and the other is the owner of the moving company.
But now, there is another person who inexplicably says that he wants to open up new business with him. Qian Ye found it novel and bizarre.
But the voice didn't stop: [You must be a person with supernatural powers. 】
Qianye's index finger on the mouse paused for a moment. It's not that there is any need to hide his identity as a superpower. Although he won't take the initiative to tell others, when he is in danger, he will not put himself in danger to cover up his superpower.
What's strange to him is who the other party is. How did you know this news?
[I saw you having dinner with Kunikida Doppo from the Armed Detective Agency during the day. Armed Detective Agency, hee hee hee...] The other party laughed, the laughter was harsh and malicious, [That is a supernatural organization full of monsters, and it can talk and laugh happily with such people, except Are the superpowers who are also monsters still ordinary people? Ordinary people dare not approach these monsters. 】
One mouthful of a monster is totally infuriating.
Qianye closed the notebook, summoned the Book of the Dead, and slowly started to turn the pages with his long fingers, saying: "So? Mr., who is not a monster, why do you want me, a monster, to sell you business? I think, even if you have something to do, , compared to you who are not a monster, I can solve it faster with my own powers."
For example, if you summon the dead right now, you will be so scared that you wet your pants and have trouble sleeping and eating!
Qian Ye is very aware of living people's fear of death, fear of hell and ghosts. He has seen very few people who are not afraid of ghosts so far.
And this kind of guy is like a rat hiding in the gutter. He obtained his mobile phone number through unscrupulous means, followed him to meet his friends, and even tried to use irritating language to arouse his anger and even revenge. The person must be a thief with a guilty conscience.
This type of people are more likely to be afraid of ghosts seeking their lives.
[Is that so...] The man let out an annoying laugh again, [Mr. Zein, you don’t even know that you have been targeted by monsters as early as the moment you stepped into Yokohama. 】
"monster……"
In a dark space, or to be more precise, on a mobile vehicle filled with scientific instruments, Dazai, wearing headphones, spoke out the word softly.
"This is really an unexpected incident. What did Mr. Sakaguchi say?"
Sitting next to him was Sakaguchi Ango. His expression did not move at all, but he started talking about another topic: "Mr. Dazai, can you tell me why you sent the bug to Mr. Amamiya through the delivery boy's hand?" house, why did the other party receive a strange phone call? He also asked me to prepare the car in advance, track the signal, and intercept the communication..."
Dazai looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you suspecting what I did?"
Ango: "If you want to think so, that's fine."
Dazai: "What an official tone, Mr. Sakaguchi. But you have entrusted me with the investigation of Mr. Amamiya, but you are not willing to entrust me with a little trust. This will make it difficult for me."
He took off his earphones, which blocked the bridge of his nose, but could not block the eyes that seemed to be able to see through human nature. Under the gaze of these eyes, Ango felt that his blood was freezing inch by inch.
"I know what Mr. Ango is thinking, and you don't want to get into trouble. You just want to confirm what kind of existence Mr. Amamiya summoned. In fact, you really hope that what he summoned is Odasaku, who is already in the underworld. You hope so desperately , I don’t want to see the second possibility. I am afraid that my hope will be disappointed, and I just want to immerse myself in the dream I created. This is not something worthy of apology, it is a normal thing."
Anwu: "..."
He felt that when Dazai said these words, he really thought it was a 'normal thing'. However... this kind of 'normality' also reveals the weakness and despicability of human nature. "
Ango still felt that it was dangerous to be alone with Dazai. After that incident, their relationship could never go back to the past. That brief friendship had long since fallen apart.
When the three of them were at their best, they actually always grasped the boundaries and left plenty of free space for each other.
After losing the protective color of friendship, when you regard Dazai as a collaborator, you must brace yourself and build a thick wall of defense so that you will not be affected by the other party's emotions.
Seeing that Ango still had that official expression, Dazai curled his lips in boredom, spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, I just accidentally received news that a mouse appeared at Yokohama Airport, and he happened to meet Mr. Amamiya... Oh, collision is more appropriate to describe it. He seems to be very surprised, that Mr. Mouse..."
Dazai gave a sarcastic smile: "It seemed that he was surprised why his powers were ineffective against Mr. Amamiya. After all, he approached with murderous intent, but the other party did not die."
Although he still didn't know what the devil's power was, the look of surprise that he couldn't hide in time seemed to say, 'I used the power, but it didn't work on the target.'
