Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Nishikubo Apartment.
Kiryu Yiyi and Asakawa Reiko arrived by car.
"You contact the people inside first," Kiryu Yiyi said, "I'll take a look around."
"Yes." Reiko Asakawa nodded. She believed in Kiryu's ability. If there was really a problem with this house, Kiryu would definitely be able to detect it and they could get out in time.
"Five million, is it really possible that pie will fall from the sky?"
Kiryu Yishi is sure that there must be something wrong with this apartment, but he believes that the evil spirits in the apartment are not very strong.
If it were an evil spirit like "Gabako", its mansion would definitely become a haunted house famous far and wide.
"No?"
After turning around in a circle, Kiryu Yiyi was a little surprised.
I opened my white eyes and used the spiritual crystal ball, but I still didn't find any evil at all.
"Is there really someone who has too much money and is throwing coins around?"
Kiryu Yiyi returned to the door of Nishikubo Apartment and found Asakawa Reiko surrounded by a group of people standing there by herself, looking at Asakawa Reiko quietly.
Another family was moving their luggage out.
"Well, Miss Asakawa," the woman carrying the luggage said, "Welcome to move in. Our family is leaving Tokyo, and...this is the 5 million check promised before."
The woman put the check into Reiko Asakawa's hand, lest she regret it.
"that……"
Before Asakawa Reiko could refuse, the woman had already left in a car with her family.
"It's nice to have money."
"yes."
"Whose turn is it next?"
The residents in the apartment were whispering and had no intention of coming forward to chat with Kiryu Ichijo and Asakawa Reiko.
"Have you got five million?"
Kiryu Yiichi walked to Reiko Asakawa: "Let's go, let's go to the bank to take a look. Maybe we encountered a TV show prankster."
Reiko Asakawa obviously had the same idea. She nodded and drove Kiryu Yiyi away.
Coming out of the bank, Asakawa Reiko's expression was still in disbelief.
"It's real banknotes," Reiko Asakawa said, "I have already deposited all the money in my account."
"Yeah?"
The easier it is, the more it feels wrong.
It was just for one night's sleep. If there was any trouble, just move away. Having fought against demons and seen many terrifying ghost stories, Kiryu's first-rate courage and confidence were unprecedented.
"Didn't you find anything wrong?" Asakawa Reiko asked.
"Well, I didn't see anything wrong around the apartment." Kiryu Yiyi nodded: "It may be other reasons that I can't see at the moment."
It's unlikely that he can't see it. It's probably that the other party is not a ghost story.
The spiritual crystal ball can only detect demonic energy and has great limitations.
Back at Nishikubo Apartment, there was only an old security guard standing at the door, waiting for the return of Kiryu Yishi and Asakawa Reiko.
"You're back." The old security guard breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was afraid that the two of them would never come back after taking the money.
Kiryu Yiyi asked: "Are you waiting for us?"
"yes"
The old security guard nodded: "Because there are some requirements in the apartment that must be followed. You were too anxious to leave just now, so I can only tell you after you come back."
"Please tell me." Reiko Asakawa keenly sensed that there was a problem.
This is the dual intuition of a reporter and a detective.
"You came here after receiving the sublet notice from Nishio's family, right?"
"Yes." Reiko Asakawa nodded: "Ms. Nishio is willing to pay five million to sublet the house to us, saying that it only takes one night. Of course, if you are willing to rent it for a long time, that's no problem."
"Five million!" The old security guard seemed to be shocked and choked and coughed: "That family is very poor, but they are willing to spend five million. It must be a loan."
"loan?"
"What exactly is in this apartment?" Kiryu asked: "Why would you rather get a loan and go into debt than let someone else take over your apartment? Is there any curse?"
When the curse was mentioned, the old security guard's expression changed slightly, but it was not that he was struck by what he was saying, but that he was simply frightened by the word "curse".
"Young man, some things you say are unfounded and you shouldn't just say them casually."
The old security guard didn't mean to explain the matter in detail. He warned: "Remember, you must return to the apartment before eleven o'clock at night."
He turned his head and pointed to a white paint line at his feet: "You must enter the white line before eleven o'clock."
"anything else?"
"No, anyway... I wish you good luck." The old security guard shook his head and turned to leave, but Kiryu Yishi and Asakawa Reiko could still hear his voice: "Some money is not so easy to get, but the Nishio family is really courageous. ah."
There is definitely something wrong with the apartment.
It's a pity that the old security guard didn't mean to make it clear.
"Anyway, let's stay one night first."
The two went upstairs and opened the room on the third floor.
“The move was so clean!”
The room was moved cleanly, and not a single scrap of furniture was left behind. However, recalling how lightly the Nishio family left, I guess they didn't have much furniture.
"It was 5 million yen that I raised from a loan, just to let people move in."
The more I thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
But so far, no danger has been discovered.
Reiko Asakawa said: "I'll go back and get the quilt!"
"I'll investigate in the apartment."
"Thank you for your hard work, first-class brother."
After Reiko Asakawa left, Kiryu went to the house next door on the same floor and knocked on the door.
The door opened a crack, and a pale-faced, skinny-looking woman hid behind the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, we just moved here next door and wanted to come over and say hello," Kiryu said.
"oh"
The woman is obviously not interested in Kiryu Yishi.
The white eyes see through the woman's body.
"The muscles are atrophied and the heart beats very reluctantly." Kiryu frowned slightly. Is there a vampire in this apartment?
The woman was obviously malnourished.
"Who is it?" A man's feeble voice came from inside the door.
"It's the next door neighbor." The woman turned around and responded.
Is there anyone else in the room?
Kiryu's first sight penetrated the room and saw the man lying motionless on the tatami. His physical condition was worse than that of the woman.
The man asked: "Since we are visiting neighbors, there should be a souvenir, right?"
The woman looked at Kiryu Yiyi with relaxed eyes: "Do you have a gift?"
"Well"
This is the first time Kiryu Yishi has been asked for a gift: "I haven't prepared for it yet, but I will make up for it next time."
"There are no souvenirs. Do you have anything to eat? Candies, too."
"There is chocolate." Kiryu Yiichi took out a few pieces of candy he took from the maid shop. He originally planned to use them to fool Yoichi and let him live at his grandpa's house, but he didn't expect that a large number of goblins suddenly came. Chocolate and Of course sugar is useless.
There are too many people to tell them apart.
When I took it out of my pocket, I realized that it was melting because it was too hot.
When the woman saw the candy, her eyes lit up. She suddenly reached out and snatched the candy from Kiryu Yiyi's hand: "Thank you for the gift!"
Having said that, close the door.
But Kiryu's toes stretched forward, blocking the crack in the door. He stared into the woman's bloodshot eyes and asked, "What's wrong with this apartment?"
But the woman's eyes widened and she gave Kiryu Yiyi the candy: "Here you go, here you go! No more!"
"can not say?"
However, the woman was resolute and did not answer. She just insisted on returning the candy in her hand to Kiryu.
"Okay, I'll give you the candy." Kiryu Yiyi retracted his toes.
boom!
The door was slammed hard.
However, he could still hear the woman's voice when he was close to the door.
"Husband, there is something to eat. Get up quickly!"
"It's chocolate!"
