The next day, Lu Tan arrived at the villa area thirty minutes' drive from Jiangcheng University.
This is said to be a villa area, but in fact not many rich people actually live here. Most of the villas are used for rent or to grow grass. At the end of the year, college students from Jiangcheng University often come here to rent on a daily basis and play all night long.
.
Of course, even so, the villas here are still very expensive and are beyond the reach of Lu Tian now.
"...If you want to play game consoles, the game room here has various consoles and several computers. It's not a problem to play black. There is a billiards room in the basement, and the kitchen is also available for casual use. It's around here
There are no people in the villas, so you can stay up all night without worrying about disturbing other people..."
The daily rental agent introduced the condition of the villa to Lu Jian.
"Can we use the swimming pool here?"
Lu Tiao glanced at the swimming pool without water.
"...Of course. If necessary, we can arrange cleaning here. Just pay an extra cleaning fee."
The agent was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Tan to be so elegant.
Swimming pools are difficult to maintain, and people usually don't come to swim in Japanese-rented villas, so he never thought that Lu Tian would have such a request.
"Okay, then I'll just pay for two days and have it cleaned before noon tomorrow."
Lu Tan was very generous. He only paid more than 3,000 yuan a day to rent a house. Compared with his own life, it was very cheap.
At noon the next day, he came to the villa with some things for the night, but saw the lights in the building next door, and people floating inside, as if college students were having a party.
"The military training hasn't ended yet, and it's not October yet. Are college students today so leisurely?"
Lu Tiao felt confused.
He turned around to go back to his villa. When he turned around, he saw two pale girls who were startled.
"ah!"
Under the bright afternoon sun, the two people hugged each other, as if Lu Jian was some kind of murderous demon.
"Are you from Jiangcheng University?"
Lu Tiao asked, interrupting the screams they were about to make.
"Yes, yes..."
The girl who answered was submissive and quite wary.
"My after-school life is quite rich. It's okay. I also rented a house for daily rent, right next door to you."
Lu Tian pointed to the villa that had no lights on and looked particularly gloomy.
"Are you alone?"
Another girl spoke freely and asked curiously.
"People always have to give themselves some time off."
Lu Tan said goodbye to the two of them without explaining more, took out the key he got from the agency, and opened the door to the villa.
He walked into the living room and turned on the lights. The villa was neat and orderly. Although it was broad daylight, the place seemed a little deserted and strange. The huge space looked empty, but in fact it seemed that there were a lot of things.
"not bad."
He simply made something to eat. The kitchen at his home only had a stove, but the villa also had an oven and a barbecue grill. Lu Tan put a whole rack of lamb chops in the oven to set the timer, then put on his swimming trunks and went to the swimming pool in the backyard.
The swimming pool has been cleaned and the water is clear. Although the smell of disinfectant still remains, it is not a big problem.
Lu Tan walked into the pool.
After swimming for a while relying on the swimming skills brought about by [Underwater Breathing], Lu Tiao came to the center of the swimming pool and was about to dive in when he noticed that the window on the second floor of the villa next door was open, and it seemed that he could see into the swimming pool.
"It would scare the kids if they were seen. Fortunately, there is no one around now. Let's deal with it quickly."
He immediately redeemed it for [Madman’s Knowledge].
What appeared in Lu Tan's palm this time was a jelly-like thing.
From this dark green, translucent jelly, you can vaguely see the shape of a non-human head, like a sea creature with a whole body of cartilage, and a bit like a jellyfish.
"I hope it's Wajima's."
Lu Tiao made a sound and crushed the head.
The green gel suddenly turned into running water, pouring into Lu Jian's body from his nostrils, mouth, and ears.
"...No problem, we don't have any problems. The shrine has confirmed that the poetry festival will be held as scheduled..."
"...please rest assured that we are a professional team and will not put anyone visiting in danger..."
"...The pollution spreading near Utashima has been brought under control, please don't worry..."
"...I see it, I see it, the light of my life, the fire of my desire, my soul, my sin, please forgive me..."
"...The mist is poisonous, not a poison that makes people die, but a poison that makes people crazy. They are all crazy, they are all crazy, those people are all crazy..."
"...We have reason to believe that his departure was just an accident. Now ensuring that the poetry festival is held is the top priority..."
Lu Jian's blood spread in the clear water of the pond, and under the sunlight, the blood showed a deep black color.
But green grass and trees quickly grew out of Lu Jian's body. They used blood as nutrients and greedily absorbed the sunlight. Lu Jian was like a ball of seaweed, drifting with the current in the swimming pool.
Ten minutes later, Lu Jiao emerged from the water after sinking to the bottom.
"Huhuhu——"
He breathed the fresh air and felt like he was surviving a disaster.
"Sure enough, you are more resilient under the sun. I was right."
Somewhat tiredly, he swam to the edge of the pool. Lu Tan sat on the edge and looked at the pool that was dyed red.
"This time it is indeed Wajima's information."
"The wasteland is indeed a hunting mission, and those monsters have an IQ similar to that of humans and know how to make traps. If they don't have heavy firepower to clear the ground, they may be difficult to deal with."
"As for Wajima, it seems to be more suspenseful. Well, the poisonous fog can make people fall into madness. This should be the [Sigh of the Uncertain Mist]. It can make people fall into hallucinations, making them look like they are crazy.
Same."
"And it seems that the fog has spread at the place where the poetry festival is held, but the person in charge of the poetry festival does not intend to stop the festival and still holds it? This is a bit irresponsible. No wonder something happened...
.”
"Moreover, in addition to the fog, there should be something mysterious that confuses people's hearts and contaminates highly inspired people like artists. Perhaps this is the reason why artists disappear."
"It seems that many people have ensured that there is nothing wrong with Utashima, but an accident still occurs. Is it a real accident, or are those people's guarantees inherently unreliable?"
"It feels like what happened on Utashima is more like a man-made disaster than a natural disaster... Speaking of which, I wonder if there are ghosts or anything like that on Utashima."
While Lu Tan was thinking, he glanced at the window of the villa next door, hoping that what he had just seen was not seen.
It's so embarrassing.
But when he looked at the open window, Lu Tiao suddenly discovered that there was a young man standing there wearing a blood-stained coat, with a pale face and no whites in his eyes.
