After two strange house owners died in succession, the family members at the dinner table could no longer maintain their composure.
They stared at Tang Zhen, their eyes changing uncertainly. At this moment, they finally seemed like real living people.
"Get out now, we don't welcome you!"
A woman who looked like a housewife shouted loudly. Her voice was sharp, like foam rubbing against glass, and it sounded extremely harsh.
This woman's face was covered with knife marks, which were simply sutured with thick needles and threads. It looked like centipedes crawling on her face, twisting and turning as she spoke.
Wherever the skin is exposed, there are bruises and purple-black marks. It does not look like a living person, but more like a corpse that has been tortured to death.
The housewife stared at Tang Zhen with bloodshot eyes, yelled like a shrew, and at the same time pointed to the door.
At this moment, the door that had disappeared suddenly appeared and at the same time slowly opened a gap.
I don’t know when it gets dark, and the streets are quiet, but it actually makes people feel safer.
When the thin woman saw this, she looked ecstatic and immediately stood up to pull Tang Zhen away.
When this happened, it meant that Tang Zhen was already qualified to leave the house. The thin woman was afraid that Tang Zhen wouldn't know, so she got up to remind him.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zhen waved his hand, looked at the angry housewife and said, "I am a bad guest. If you are not satisfied, I cannot leave.
If you have a way to drive me out, then just come over, but if you can't, you might as well listen to my idea."
When the thin woman heard this, she looked at Tang Zhen with shocked eyes. She didn't expect that Tang Zhen was still unwilling to leave even though he clearly had the chance to leave.
"It's so annoying. What on earth does he want to do?"
The thin woman was anxious and wished she could leave alone, but as soon as the idea came up, she was immediately rejected.
She is very afraid of this kind of house. If it were herself, she would never enter it.
Following Tang Zhen in, I also saw Tang Zhen's ability. It's not like missing an opportunity.
It was not easy to meet Tang Zhen with such a thick thigh, so she had to hug her tightly. As for whether Tang Zhen could accept her, his performance at this time was crucial.
If she ran away out of fear, when Tang Zhen left here, he would probably not talk to her anymore.
If you can't help, then just follow behind you silently. This is the price you pay for seeking shelter.
The thin woman made up her mind and sat back on the chair, wanting to see what Tang Zhen was going to do.
The dwarf seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Tang Zhen blankly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
If Tang Zhen succeeds, maybe he can be saved?
There was silence in the room again.
After hearing what Tang Zhen said, the housewife was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in a hysterical tone: "What else do you want? Do you want to kick us out and then you live here?"
Tang Zhen nodded, indicating that he indeed meant this.
When the housewife heard this, her angry expression disappeared instantly, and she suddenly revealed a weird smile.
It seemed that those performances just now were just to elicit Tang Zhen's words, so after achieving the goal, he immediately took off the original disguise.
She said in a sinister tone: "You can live in our house if you want. As long as you meet my requirements, you can live in this house for a year."
Tang Zhen secretly said that it was indeed the case. After obtaining the certificate, if he did not want to leave, he would have the opportunity to obtain the right to live in the house.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough ability, otherwise before you get the certificate, you may have become almost like a dwarf, and you will have to stay here in the end.
"Then tell me what your requirements are. I will book this house!"
Tang Zhen is getting more and more confident now. At this moment, he has discovered that this kind of place, which is regarded by the thin woman as an abyss and thunder pool, is nothing more than that in his opinion.
In the final analysis, there is still a gap in strength. Even if the thin woman has lived here longer, she is still not on the same level as the new Tang Zhen.
She saw mountains of swords and seas of fire, but Tang Zhen could walk on flat ground.
The housewife continued: "The key is on my son's body. He likes hide and seek the most. If you can find him in the house, you can get the right to live in this house.
But I want to remind you that hide-and-seek is very dangerous, and you may lose your life if you try to find it."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Tang Zhen with expectant eyes, hoping that he would agree.
"Hide and seek, great, let's start now!"
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, the child with the dwarf arm in his mouth jumped out of the chair and ran to a door.
When he ran to the door, he turned around, looked at Tang Zhen with excited expectant eyes, and at the same time hooked his hand.
"Come on, come to me quickly!"
A child with a childish face, but his tone of voice is old-fashioned, and there is something indescribably weird in his smile.
After leaving these words, the child quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a faint sound of footsteps.
"Go find him. As long as you can find him and get the key, this house is yours!"
The housewife urged, seeming impatient.
Tang Zhen ignored her at all, but walked to the door of the room where the child disappeared, looked at the ink-like darkness behind the door, and prepared to walk in.
"Wait, I'll go with you too!"
The thin woman's voice came, and she quickly rushed behind Tang Zhen, her eyes filled with nervousness.
"Follow me and remember not to run around and scream, otherwise no one can save you."
After Tang Zhen warned her, he stopped looking at the thin woman and walked into the door.
It was dark behind the door and I couldn't see my fingers, but I could tell by feeling that this should be an upward staircase.
When entering the door, Tang Zhen could notice that this was a two-story building, and it was not surprising that there were stairs.
It's just that this house is no ordinary building, and the stairs that appear in front of you must also hide a fatal crisis.
The dark environment inside the stairs is very special. You can't see anything and you can't hear any sound.
Even if you have the ability to see six directions and hear all directions, you can't use it in a place like this.
But when he was in such an environment, Tang Zhen's eyes flashed with a strange light, as if he could see through everything in the darkness.
"Where are you and why can't I see anything?"
The thin woman's voice came, and at the same time she reached out to touch Tang Zhen's position, with a look of panic on her face.
Tang Zhen looked back at her, but his eyes quickly passed over the other person's body and looked at the location behind him.
Just on the door frame above the thin woman's head, crouched a thin figure. His eyes were like a night owl, staring at the thin woman fiercely.
He was holding a rope in his hand and was slowly approaching the thin woman. As long as the woman took another step forward, the rope would be wrapped around her neck.
The rope was looped around a beam above the door. Once it was put around the thin woman's neck, the child would pull the other end of the rope and hang the thin woman up.
At the same time, Tang Zhen also noticed that on the beam above the door, there were more than a dozen long-dried corpses, and they died in almost the same way.
The child's attention was focused on the thin woman at the moment, with a look of excitement and anticipation on his face, and he didn't even realize that Tang Zhen had seen him.
Ordinary desperate people cannot see through the darkness at all, and will almost certainly die here.
How can you get the key to the house so easily?
But soon the child realized something was wrong, and subconsciously raised his head and looked at where Tang Zhen was.
The two eyes looked at each other, and the child's playful and cruel eyes gradually changed, and then slowly turned into a hint of fear.
He let out a scream and flew up like an ape, trying to escape down the stairs to the second floor.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tang Zhen grabbed the repeating crossbow from the hand of the thin woman, and there was a "whoosh" sound.
The child was hit by a crossbow arrow, screamed in agony, and fell heavily on the stairs.
