No one knows monsters better than me

Chapter 473 Unexpected Expansion
The sudden drop in temperature is just a matter of half an hour.

Half an hour later, a thin curtain of water drooped down from the sky, covering the streets and alleys with a dreamlike frosted glass.

It rained in spring.

"The weather is so nice, pedestrians walk more lively..."

In a private room on the second floor of Fengya Tea, an aunt with a red afro sips the Dianhong in a tea bowl, looks at the rain outside the window, and expresses a feeling of Wenqing that does not match her image.

Qin Ren, who was sitting opposite, pinched his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and knocked on the table with his fingers:
"Ah Cui, tell me."

"Row."

The aunt is not at all grumpy:

"Actually, this matter..."

"Wait a moment."

Qin Ren frowned slightly and stared at aunt for a while.

"..."

"..."

After a while, Qin Ren shook his head:
"No way, A Cui, you really should change your image back first. Talking to you like this feels too disconnected."

"Ok."

The aunt was helpless, and immediately grabbed her hair and pulled it, and planted a complete aunt's headgear with the leather cover.

This black technology is inexplicably similar to a certain "father-in-law"...

After the headgear was taken off, there was a delicate chicken head inside, which was A Cui, the proprietress of "Yaomei Noodle Restaurant".

Sharp beak and round eyes, soft feathers, delicate phoenix crown...

"How about it?"

"Comfortable."

A familiar voice needs to match a familiar image, just like Qin Ren has always been accustomed to Shi Banyu's dubbing in Zhou Xingchi's movies.

"Okay, now tell me, what's going on?"

"Actually, it's just a coincidence."

A Cui picked up the teacup again, then looked at the tea with some embarrassment, finally lowered her beak, and took a sip:
"It is true that I rented the house to you, but the exorcist, I only found out that the tenant is you today. After all, except for signing the contract, other things are left to the little blacks, and you know that."

"Well, I know... um? Wait a minute!"

The little black in Ah Cui's mouth should refer to her agent, but what does the word "men" mean?
If Qin Ren remembered correctly, he had only negotiated with one agent...

"No, no, it was a little black who showed you the house at first, and then another little black who got the contract."

"..."

The corner of Qin Ren's mouth twitched, and he naturally thought of those rabbits named Xiaobai in the noodle shop.

It seems that A Cui's strange naming method has a long history.

"They are all descendants of a saber-toothed tiger mixed with an ancient ape in ancient times. They can transform into human form for a short time. They are very smart. It's a pity that the first little black led you to go to Mingyue Lake by mistake shortly after seeing the house..."

"Mingyue Lake?"

……

Mingyue Lake is a large lake with a water area of ​​12 square meters in the southern city of Rongcheng.

When A Cui mentioned this place, Qin Ren suddenly remembered that one of Vanke's key villa projects in Mingyue Lake was terminated suddenly, and then the entire Mingyue Lake suddenly announced that it would build an ecological park.

At that time, the outside world generally characterized it as a struggle between Vanke's top management and planning changes in Rongcheng.

But Qin Ren knew that there must be interference from the Plane Administration.

After all, the one at the bottom of Mingyue Lake...

No ordinary super boss.

……

"In short, after I dealt with the contract of the second little gangster, I didn't pay attention to you anymore..."

As a matter of course, A Cui took a few sips of tea:
"... After all, I rent out so many houses, as long as I can get the rent, why waste my energy meeting the tenants one by one?"

so many houses...

"So you are actually the kind of rich woman who lives on food and rent?"

"That's right. Apart from other things, just maintaining such a large intelligence network requires money from your human world."

A Cui remained calm as always:
"If I don't have enough income, Exorcist, I may not be able to do the things you ask me to do."

"..."

This is true.

And according to A Cui, her situation is actually very common in the demon world.

All over the world, anyone who runs an organization like her will have a certain source of income.

Renting and selling houses is the most common and convenient way.

"hiss…"

Hearing this, Qin Ren also narrowed his eyes:

"But this house...where did you get your demon descendants from?"

"..."

A Cui stopped talking immediately, looked at her reflection in the teacup, and silently groomed her feathers.

Qin Ren also noticed the trickiness, coughed lightly and said:

"I'm retired, I have lost contact with the Plane Administration, and Bai Jie has lost her memory and has become an ordinary person. What are you afraid of..."

"..."

A Cui still didn't speak, so Qin Ren had no choice but to play the emotional card:

"For me, I'm just curious about the relationship between the two of us, you still can't trust me?"

"..."

"When I was an exorcist back then, as long as I didn't hurt the world, I would turn a blind eye to the gray industry of your demon descendants, let alone now? Tell me..."

At this point, A Cui also gave Qin Ren a helpless look:
"It's actually very simple. The main thing is to buy a house at a price far lower than what you humans have in the market, and then rent it out."

"?"

Qin Ren thought to himself, doesn't that mean he didn't say anything?

In the end, Ah Cui said that the low price she said was really low.

"A house on the second ring road with 140 square meters and 200 million yuan, I can usually win it with 40 yuan."

"Four...40?"

This is indeed not an ordinary low price, but how is this done?
"Ah Cui, you shouldn't have interfered with the financial economy of mankind without authorization, right? This is not a gray product, it is a real violation of the taboo!"

"I said Qin Ren, you are usually very clever, why are you so slow today?"

Amusingly and angrily, A Cui beckoned Qin Ren to listen to him:
"How difficult do you think it is for the demons to turn a normal house into a haunted haunted house...?"

"Oh--!"

Qin Ren was enlightened and suddenly realized.

----------

After chatting for a while, Qin Ren explained to A Cui about the house on his side.

It is naturally not a problem for old acquaintances to refund the rent paid in advance.

Not only that, A Cui even directly stated that even after Qin Ren bought a new house, he could live in this house indefinitely and would no longer charge him rent.

"Anything like this?"

Qin Ren showed his surprise unabashedly:
"It's not selling my favor, is it?"

"If so?"

"Then it depends on what kind of favor it is, and then decide whether to buy it or not."

"I think you'll buy it."

To Qin Ren's surprise, at this moment, A Cui showed a very worried and solemn expression. After pondering for a moment, she slowly said this sentence:

"Exorcist, I think... no, it's me and many other people who feel that something is going to happen in this world, and at that time... you may be needed."

"..."

After hearing A Cui's words, Qin Ren picked up his teacup and took a big sip:

"Ah Cui, can you stop scaring me? What's the big deal? Who needs me?"

"Maybe everyone needs you, including those around you..."

"Could you stop being a fool?"

"It's not a joke, it's just that I'm really uncertain at the moment."

A Cui stood up, walked to the window, and took a long breath:

"Actually, even if you didn't ask me out about the house today, I will take the initiative to find you soon... The specific situation is that many people, including some big shots, are guarding and speculating, but now I only have one exact thing Things can tell you."

"what's up."

"Remember the blood moon?"

blood moon...

Of course, Qin Ren will not forget that last year's two blood moon celestial phenomena were on the hot search, and Qin Ren later found out that it was caused by Su Lili's ceremony of crossing planes in the blood world. This led to the appearance of Xiaobai.

But why did Ah Cui suddenly mention this now?
"Qin Ren, did you know that that thing is actually not the moon."

"What... eh?"

"Appeared in the sky twice last year, that blood-red quasar ball, not the moon, but something...alive."
