Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 756: Encountered a honey trap?
While Yu Liang was still hesitating whether to go in, the man had already opened the door. When he turned around, he still had that uncomfortable smile on his face, "Come in quickly, Miss Cai, the room you reserved is on the second floor."
Gu Tongwan glanced at Yu Liang, who had little fighting power. When he was wondering whether to let Yu Liang go back first, Yu Liang was taking out a mobile phone from his pocket and seemed to be sending a message to someone. He didn't notice Gu Tongwan's gaze for a while.
After waiting at the door for about a minute or two, Yu Liang put his phone back, looked up and down at the entire building and the narrow corridor, and finally entered the yard earlier than Gu Tongwan.
The man just smiled contemptuously when he saw Yu Liang's behavior as a flower protector, and then waited for Gu Tongwan to go in before closing the door.
After opening the door and going in, I found that there was a small yard inside. There were some old bicycles parked on both sides, and it was crowded. Moreover, it looked gloomy even in the daytime, which should be related to the backlight design here.
Yu Liang was very alert. He felt relieved when he found that the man did not lock the door. So he waited there for a while. After the man went upstairs, he walked to Gu Tongwan and whispered, "Miss Gu, I'll be in front of you in a while. If something goes wrong, you should run first. Let's be careful and don't trust others too much."
"Well, I know, you have to be careful too." Gu Tongwan nodded slightly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be afraid, Yu Liang added, "Do you have anything to protect yourself? I have a multi-functional military knife here."
Yu Liang took out a palm-sized multi-functional knife from his coat pocket. As a real estate agent, his most important job is to take customers to see houses. In the past few years, Yu Liang has met many strange or bad-tempered customers, and even encountered two thugs who came to rob people under the guise of house viewing. Fortunately, Yu Liang locked the other party in the car when he was not paying attention one time, and the other time he was lucky enough to be discovered by the neighbor next door, and then he subdued those people.
After those two times, Yu Liang would be careful whenever he went out for work. He would report to the company in advance no matter where he was going. He would also send the customer's information to the Human Resources Department for filing. If anything unexpected happened, the information could be provided directly to the Security Bureau to track down the wanted criminals as soon as possible. However, the most important thing was to carry some self-defense items with him, such as the knife in his pocket now and the anti-wolf spray in another pocket. These could have a deterrent effect to some extent.
Gu Tongwan shook her head, worried that the other party could hear their conversation, and just mouthed something to Yu Liang, roughly meaning that she also had self-defense tools.
At this moment, the man walking in front turned around and called out, "Miss Gu?"
Yu Liang's face suddenly changed, and then he took three or two steps forward, completely blocking Gu Tongwan behind him.
Because the entire staircase is very narrow, one has to be very careful even when turning around or going up and down the stairs. The house is also very humid, and one can even see signs of mold on the walls, and the original white paint has almost fallen off.
The man led them to the second floor, where they could see an I-shaped design with rooms on both sides. The man opened only one of the rooms.
If she remembered correctly, Cai Min had told her before that the room she rented was a south-facing room with good lighting, and it was a one-bedroom and one-living room with 30 square meters. Logically, a family of five could squeeze in and stay there temporarily for a month before finding a suitable permanent residence. But now, as soon as the door was opened, the strong musty smell that hit her in the face made her unable to help but cover her nose and frown.
The lighting inside was dim, with only a simple 10-watt chandelier hanging from the low ceiling, and the only window was closed for some reason.
The temperature has obviously been warming up during this period, but the perceived temperature here is even colder than outside. Even Yu Liang, who is experienced in house hunting, couldn't help but frown, with shock and anger flashing in his eyes.
Isn't this a rip-off? In such an environment, let alone five hundred a month, no one would be willing to spend even two hundred. It would be better to sleep under a bridge, at least the air is a little clearer.
The most important thing is that there is only a large single room in front of me, which is only about 17 or 18 square meters at most. How can it be the one-bedroom and one-living room layout shown in the previous pictures?
OK, it seems that this is a deceptive landlord, and there is a high probability that he may be the second or third landlord. This man deliberately uses pictures of other houses on the Internet to pretend to be his own houses, and attracts people with low prices and no deposit. He brings people here only after collecting the rent. Once the other party is not satisfied or wants to cancel the lease, this man or this small gang will most likely take extreme measures to resolve the problem.
At this time, a slight sound of footsteps came from the next room. This time, not only Gu Tongwan heard it, but Yu Liang also heard it. After all, the walls here were too thin, and even a slight cough could be heard clearly.
It is obvious that there is someone on the other side, and it is very likely that it is not just one person.
Gu Tongwan did not seem too flustered. He withdrew his gaze from the stains on the wall and looked at the man opposite him who had a smile on his face.
"This seems to be different from the house I booked. I remember that I rented a one-bedroom apartment with an area of 30 square meters. Here... it's at most 15 square meters, right?" Gu Tongwan's tone gradually became cold. She stroked her right wrist with the fingertips of her left hand. The hidden sleeve arrows there were just filled with arrows this morning. The sleeve arrows she customized before could only fire one at a time, with a maximum of seven arrows in them. Later, Chen Yanxi improved it for her, and now the number can be increased to twelve. The arrows are shorter and thinner, but almost every one of them is tempered with the venom of mutant bats. This venom can penetrate into the blood in just a few seconds and make the body feel paralyzed. If the serum is not found within half an hour, the poisoned person will die of organ failure.
"Ms. Cai, my sister should have mentioned this to you before. You should actually see it in person. You know, the pictures on the Internet are all processed to some extent. Not to mention the houses, even the people are beautified a little, right?" The man did not feel guilty at all, but explained calmly.
Yu Liang, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer and snorted, "Are you just slightly modifying it? Your house is simply not what you wanted. Besides, considering the location and the condition of the house, it won't be more than 100 points a month at most."
The man sneered as he listened, and his fingers rhythmically tapped the crotch of his trousers. Although he did not show any signs of being annoyed, he actually began to have murderous intent in his heart. His body slightly changed direction, obviously heading towards the door. The man had occupied the place closest to the door since he came in, and if anything happened, he might block people in the room.
"Before, you said it was a three-story house, and there were two households on each floor. Now it has become a two-story house, with at least four households on each floor, and the area of the house is almost half smaller. If you had informed me in advance, it would be understandable, but now I have to doubt whether you are a scam, or... actually you asked us to come here on purpose to set up a honey trap?" Gu Tongwan's last sentence suddenly became extremely aggressive, which was tantamount to breaking off relations with the other party.
As expected, the man's face darkened, his tongue rested on the roof of his mouth, and the fierce light in his eyes was about to be hidden.
At this time, there were two men with daggers in the next room who could no longer hold back. One of them was only about one meter tall, obviously underdeveloped and had congenital defects. He was about to rush out but was stopped by another man.
Gu Tongwan and the man in the house were no longer pretending. Gu Tongwan said directly, "I don't plan to rent this house anymore. As for the rent, do you want to return it or pay it by bank transfer on the spot?"
"Beauty, we can talk about this slowly. Even if you are not satisfied with the house, we can still be friends, right? Besides, for a girl as beautiful as you, if you are willing, I can let you live there for free." The man said as he looked at her greedily.
"Let's go. There's no need to talk any further. If he doesn't want to pay back the money, we can go to the Security Bureau and file a case against them. As for your friend's house, I still have a few more. They're a little more expensive, but the environment is definitely not too bad."
As Yu Liang was about to walk to the door, before his hand reached the door handle, the door was suddenly opened from the outside. A tall man pushed it hard, almost making Yu Liang hit his nose.
The man who came in was very tall and strong, and seemed to be a psychic, because whenever a psychic released a threatening aura, the branches of the blood vine on the back of his hand would show signs of waking up.
However, the blood vines were not too agitated, which showed that the opponent's supernatural energy was not very strong.
Probably to intimidate Yu Liang, the tall man crossed his hands and clasped his fists after coming in. His knuckles kept making "cracking" sounds, and along with the sounds, one could clearly see the tense muscles and blood vessels on the man's forearms, which made people feel their scalp tingling.
A person with powers of power?
"You're here and you want to leave? It's not that easy. Do you think we are JY? We come and go as we please. We worked so hard to show you the house. Even if we didn't work hard, we still worked hard."
The tall guy had been itching to do something. He had been aroused by the woman's voice next door, so he secretly made up his mind not to let go of such a good prey.
"What do you want to do? I warn you, I have already reported the address to the unit before I came here. If something happens to us here, you won't be able to escape!" Yu Liang was worried that the people on the opposite side would really take action, so he planned to give them a warning first, at least to let the other party know that they were also well prepared.
After hearing this, the tall man exchanged glances with the man opposite him, and then both of them burst into laughter.
But the smile didn't last long, and the expression on the tall man's face turned sinister and evil. He spat into the corner and said, "Bah, report it? Even if the Self-Defense Forces come later, it will be useless. After you are eaten by mutant animals, who will know whether it was man-made or an accident?"
Mutated animals occasionally appear in the outer circle, but they are all mutant rats and small mutant creatures that emerge from dungeons or sewers.
Normally these creatures do not pose much of a threat to humans, unless they attack in groups, which can be life-threatening.
When the man said that they were eaten up by mutant creatures, he might be referring to the mutant animals kept in private captivity. There are many people in the outer circle who secretly keep mutant animals in captivity.
The Self-Defense Forces had previously organized a crackdown and discovered human remains in many private enclosures.
Although the Self-Defense Forces have been cracking down on this, the situation has not been effectively controlled. People's curiosity has led to an increasing number of uncontrollable mutant creatures being kept in captivity, and it is even said that there are so-called "martial arts training grounds" set up in underground trading centers.
The "martial arts arena" is divided into human martial arts arena and animal martial arts arena. The former is probably similar to the "black boxing" competition, and the latter is a fighting competition between mutant animals. The winner of the competition has the opportunity to obtain a high bonus. People who place bets can both watch the excitement and satisfy their desire to watch the excitement.
Yu Liang probably heard that people often went missing in the Lower City area. Although the base had been sending people to investigate the matter, new incidents occurred every day, and it was impossible to investigate each case one by one.
So the tall guy's words implied that he was threatening Yu Liang, saying that even if he and Gu Tongwan disappeared here, they would not leave any clues, because they had no intention of letting them go back from the beginning.
"So, you admit that you used the information about house viewing to trick people into robbing them, and you may even have killed them to silence them afterwards. Judging from the situation, this shouldn't be the first time you have done this." Gu Tongwan calmly analyzed the whole process.
Seeing that Gu Tongwan was not like the other women they had met before, after knowing their true faces, she either begged for mercy in panic or tried to shout loudly, or even raised her voice thinking she could threaten them.
The young woman in front of him was so calm that it gave people a strange feeling, as if she seemed to be used to such situations.
"Okay, let's stop talking to them and search them first! Tie up the men and lock the women in this room." The tall man said and was about to take action, but was stopped by a gesture from the man who had brought them in earlier.
"Wait, don't be impatient. I see that these two people are not ordinary people in terms of their attire. The man even has a car key hanging on his waist. Let's see if they have anything else to say."
When Yu Liang heard this, he felt that something was wrong and immediately stepped back. Gu Tongwan had originally planned to take action, but he did not expect to hear a loud noise coming from below, which seemed to be accompanied by a bustling crowd of voices.
The tall man couldn't help cursing, "Damn it, why did it have to be at this time?"
Just as Yu Liang was about to take action, Gu Tongwan gently shook his head at him. After a moment of hesitation, Yu Liang felt a pain in his shoulder and was pushed into the room opposite.
