Chapter 114: Praise the Sun!

Haunted house.
The house price in such a place would usually be very cheap.
The more haunted it was, the cheaper it was.
Kang De planned to first ask if there was any evil residence in the district. If there was, Uncle Kang could make a move… The price would definitely be much cheaper than the market price.
As for ghosts? As for haunted houses? What a joke. Do you see this huge fist?
‘I’m super brave.’
However, he was thinking too much.
When the policewoman heard his true intentions, she exchanged glances with her colleague beside her.
If he wanted to buy a house, he had to run to the police station to investigate if there were any murders. This was the legal right of a citizen. However, if he ran to the police station to investigate the haunted house before buying it, it did not conform to the procedure.
She looked at Kang De regretfully and shook her head apologetically, “This is against the rules…”
Kang De frowned. With the enhancement of the charm necklace, it was breathtaking. The peerless handsome man whispered, “Can’t you make an exception? Officer, I really want to buy a house…”
In fact, the rules and procedures of this world were afraid of the word coquettish.
The policewoman insisted on her principles, but the young lady beside her casually said, “Didn’t Captain Zhao mention that matter when we ate last night? It’s not a big deal.”
Kang De immediately looked over with his charming eyes.
The other policewoman said, “Ah, it’s like this. A few days ago, there was indeed a resident at the Huaxing Garden who came to call the police. He said that the house is haunted. Terrifying things often happen after midnight, causing him to have nightmares and be muddle-headed and listless all day. If he calls the police, we have to interfere. However, whether it’s sending someone over to stay up all night or camp downstairs, as long as we go, there won’t be any ghosts. That family is about to go crazy. If not for the fact that that family seems to have almost collapsed, we would have to charge them for making a false police report.”
“So strange?”
Kang De was interested. “So they’re preparing to sell the house?”
The policewoman shook her head and said, “No, this happened a few days ago. It’s already been sold.”
Kang De was anxious and asked, “Who did they sell it to?”
“Intermediary.”
The policewoman pursed her lips and smiled. “In today’s society, the housing price is so high. So what if it’s a haunted house? The price is so cheap. What’s a ghost? Some people don’t mind. After all, it’s a modern society.”
“Some real estate companies or investors do business in haunted houses because the price is cheap. After obtaining it, if the ghost is fake and the house gets sold, won’t they profit greatly?”
Kang De calculated in his mind. He looked at the policewoman’s meaningful smile and suddenly said, “From the looks of it, that real estate agent with good business taste… has also encountered a ghost?”
“That’s right. He ran over to call the police and cried miserably. He kept saying that he didn’t want to buy it anymore and wanted to return the house to that family, but that family refused. The two sides began to argue and even said that they wanted to fight a lawsuit…”
Kang De smiled. “Then may I ask the last question? Where does this intermediary work?”
This was considered a sidestep and did not directly reveal other people’s privacy.
Therefore, the policewoman hesitated for a moment. “It’s there…”
Kang De, who had left the police station, took off the necklace.
Although a necklace with a high charm bonus was beneficial and could turn you into a beautiful woman who was loved by everyone, there were also side effects. It was that others would have a very good impression of you.
Just like the two police ladies, they would seriously advise Kang De not to buy it.
This was because “it’s indeed quite strange.”
He was unwilling to go to the real estate agent and buy a house now. If that agent suddenly became gay and had a good impression of him, he would be unwilling to sell him this obviously problematic property.
Kang De found the shop in the area near the Huaxing Garden. When he opened the door, the suited agents stood up and smiled.
Kang De said simply, “I’m looking for an agent. I want to buy his haunted house.”
Although the intermediaries were a little disappointed, they still invited Kang De to sit down and serve tea. Then, they began to make calls. Not long after, someone rushed in from outside.
The agent was wearing glasses and had a bald head. He looked very simple and refined, causing people to have a good impression of him when they saw him. He glanced around the room and immediately stretched out his hand. “Hello! My surname is Xu!”
“Mr. Xu, my surname is Kang.” Kang De said simply, “You’re most likely troubled by that haunted house now. Sell it to me.”
Intermediary Xu was stunned, “Where did you know?”
“It’s a secret,” Kang De said. “Name a price. This house has become a hot potato. If you sell it to people who don’t know, they’ll be shocked and suffer a loss. They’ll come back to settle the score with you. Why don’t you sell it to me? Even if there’s really a ghost inside, I’m not afraid, let alone find trouble with Mr. Xu.”
The trip to the other world for more than a year was still useful. If it was before he transmigrated, Kang De would not have spoken so smoothly, let alone have such a confident temperament.
Mr. Xu was stunned again.
He had originally wanted to circle around Kang De a few times and quibble to increase the value of that house, but looking at him now, he did not dare to say anything.
However, the businessman’s nature to pursue benefits was still there.
He nodded and said, “Alright, since Mr. Kang is so straightforward, give me a price. That house is indeed a little problematic, so let’s go with the market price… 70%. How about it?!”
Kang De sneered, “You’re lying to me. It’s especially evil and dangerous, or it’s a haunted house with a huge murder case. The transaction price is usually 40 to 50% of the original price. You’re too greedy.”
Mr. Xu was stunned again, then he could not maintain his expression.
Kang De had neglected something. After all, modern society was a society where everyone was equal. It emphasized the art of speech. His direct accusation made the other party feel a little embarrassed.
—D*mn, it’s not like I can’t sell it to anyone but you. At most, I’ll find an eminent monk or something in the temple to take a look and exterminate the evil. Wouldn’t it be fine if I chased away the ghosts inside?
At that time, it would not be a problem to sell it 100%!
Mr. Xu’s expression turned a little pale. He was about to reject Kang De’s request when the door was pushed open. Everyone’s gazes were attracted. The girl walked to an empty space in her high heels.
Then, she sat beside Kang De.
Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes and determined the other party’s wealth from the girl’s bag, jewelry, and clothes. He immediately smiled. “Miss, how can I help you?”
Kang De frowned and said, “Why are you here?”
Old Wang took out her ID card from her bag. “Check the system. Our family is a client of your company. How much is this house worth?”
Intermediary Xu checked and revealed a respectful expression. He handed the ID card back with both hands, “Hello, Miss Wang! To be honest, I bought this house at 60% of the original price. You can’t make me lose money, right?”
Old Wang nodded and took out another bank card. “Swipe it. Pay in full. I know you have a special channel. The relevant documents such as the procedures of the housing management bureau have to be completed today.”
Kang De said in a low voice, “Hey.”
Old Wang reached into Kang De’s pocket and took out his identity card and household register. She handed them over. “Register his name. It has to be done today.”
Kang De asked, “Where did you get so much money?”
Even if it was a 40% discount, it would be two million yuan. Although Old Wang was a rich second-generation heir, she was only a student. How could she have so much liquid capital on hand?
“I asked my father for it. I’ve already convinced him. Don’t worry.”
Old Wang turned around and smiled, “If he calls you, just deal with him.”
Kang De said softly, “Xiaoman…”
Intermediary Xu efficiently began to print the document. He was smart and never said anything he should not say. At this moment, he remained calm, but his gaze still vaguely glanced at Kang De.
Tsk… gigolo.
Kang De could not help but say, “Aren’t you surprised at all?”
“Strange, of course, it’s strange.” Old Wang’s beautiful figure leaned back slightly, “But you haven’t said anything for a long time. You must be worried… If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to tell me first.”
She added, “Save me the trouble of worrying.”
Kang De said nothing.
Old Wang’s straightforwardness made him at a loss.
“There won’t be so much money in the future.”
After leaving the house exhibition intermediary, Intermediary Xu patted his chest and said that he would definitely do it well today. Old Wang and Kang De did not look at the house on the spot at all and immediately bought it, saving a lot of trouble.
Kang De said, “I have some gold of unknown origin. I’ll give it to you later and see if Uncle Wang has any channels to sell it…”
—Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! It appeared! Gold exchanged from the Main God Space!
The key had already been handed to Kang De. As long as the procedures were completed, this house would belong to him in the country’s system—or rather, it was now his.
Old Wang said, “Shall we go take a look?”
Kang De immediately shook his head and said, “No, look. Even after that Intermediary Xu discovered that you’re a big client of his family, he said very seriously that it’s fine because the house is indeed very strange… Be careful.”
Old Wang pursed his lips and smiled, “Then you won’t stay in there?”
Kang De smiled. “I’ll call my father. He knows some masters with profound magic power so I
I’ll invite them to exorcise the ghost. If we succeed, we’ll be rich.”
Old Wang smiled.
She knew why Kang De had bought the haunted house.
As a superhuman, even if there were really demons and ghosts, would he be scared?
The two of them went home together. In the evening, Mr. Xu personally sent over all kinds of documents and threw them out. He was a little relieved and worried.
“Mr. Kang De…”
He said, “That house is indeed a little strange…”
Kang De smiled and said, “It’s fine. I know a very awesome exorcist.”
Today, a batch of items arrived. Kang De had bought a few sets of cosplay products. It had been a long time since he had used fantasy enchantment. He had to study it carefully.
It was not until it was getting late and close to midnight that he stood up, pushed open the door, and left the district.
He headed to his new house.
What he did not know was that Old Wang had not slept. At this moment, she was beside the bed and looking at his departing figure. She hesitated for a long time but did not choose to go downstairs and catch up.
Huaxing Garden.
The property management had not been done, but it was all a small matter. Kang De walked up and arrived at the door of his new house. The cold lights in the corridor continuously flickered, emitting a strange atmosphere.
For some reason, he felt a little cold.
However, there was also some psychological effect.
Poor the owner of this place. If such a thing happened, not only would their assets shrink, but their neighbors might also be affected…
He opened the door with his key.
A cold aura that emitted a slightly moldy smell assaulted his face.
He did not turn on the light and walked around the dark living room. He looked at the general layout and turned to the bedroom. He closed the door. Just to be safe, he wanted to sleep here.
Then, he activated his ability to go to the white fog world.
He was a little excited.
This was because the map here was opened, indicating that the shooting club in the north commercial center would open its door to him. He could choose all kinds of guns.
This was Kang De’s greatest reliance when he returned to the other world.
Stronger weapons.
In other words…
—After opening the map, I have to consider leaving already.
When he thought of Old Wang’s beautiful face, he felt very complicated.
Should he tell Old Wang about this…
She would definitely be very worried…
With such a mood, he closed his eyes in a daze and slowly fell asleep.
Time passed slowly.
Nothing happened.
Midnight.
The clock in the living room passed twelve o’clock.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling and smelly wind swept up silently in the quiet house.
The needle of the clock swayed back and forth.
The tap in the bathroom suddenly turned on.
Blood-red liquid leaked out.
On the dark ground, even darker things rose, like hair gathered together, like evil intertwined with black things. Low sounds like ghosts crying spread out.
Two pale hands with bright red nails stretched out from the black ball on the ground.
Then his head.
The messy black hair on its head rolled inward, turning into a pale face. There was also the excitement and ferocity of discovering a living being. It floated up and raised its sharp nails.
It hesitated for a moment.
It was as if it was thinking about how to deal with the bold intruder.
The female ghost smiled ferociously, whispered, and cried as she walked towards the bedroom door.
The traces of blood dragged on the ground.
She opened her mouth and cried out in excitement. The next step was to rush into this room and make the people inside scream and suffer. Then, she would suck him dry!
The female ghost pretended to pounce.
However, in the next moment, the room was pulled open!
Kang De had the combat boots from the Holy Land of the Angel of Wisdom. He wore a Unicorn Helmet and the St. Kenny Armor. On his chest hung the Radiant Cross blessed by the Grand Cardinal, and it emitted the light of detecting evil power.
He poured the bottle of holy water onto the Greatsword of the Deathchaser, the Needle of Kaus, that Paladin Astoria used to slash the Death Knight. The 124 holy marks on the sword lit up one after another, and the holy light flames burned on the sword!
Kang De held the Needle of Kaus with both hands and rushed forward. He raised his sword high, and holy flames curled around it as he suddenly slashed at the stunned female ghost opposite him!
“Praise the sun!”
