The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 14 A Remote Village

Hao Ren put down the phone and stared blankly in trance.

If it were him in the past, he would probably regard the zero-minute and zero-second call time and the strange caller number as a problem with his mobile phone, and then stop thinking about what to do, but now he is in a very sensitive state. .

Looking at the two abnormal tenants who were sitting in the living room secretly competing with each other and waiting for food, he realized that his life was completely out of touch with the norm. Some of the things that had been treated as after-dinner gossip and urban legends might be true. Mythical stories may be true, and even some imaginary works that only appear in movies... are also true.

Hao Ren was already very sensitive. He was even so sensitive that if the little tabby cat at home called "Go" meowed any more, he would take it as some kind of omen. So when he recalled the unconventional phone number just now, he felt a chill all over his body, and even more so. The important thing is - he has remembered that he has never submitted a resume to any import and export trading company!

Yes, he submitted a lot of resumes, and they were all applying for jobs, including two recruiting male public relations people and one recruiting pet psychotherapists (God knows what kind of profession this is), but he definitely never applied for any import and export trading company. CV! Because Hao Ren is very clear about his academic qualifications and expertise. He is a weirdo who needs to press a calculator to buy a handful of celery. How dare he go to any trading company...Have he sold himself by the pound in the past?

In Hao Ren's mind, an import and export trading company is probably of the same nature as a small supermarket in Hutongkou, and this is generally what he sees.

"Landlord? Landlord, you are stunned!" Lily's startled voice came from the side. Hao Ren quickly came back to his senses. He nodded to the two abnormal creatures: "Oh, an employer informed me that this afternoon Go for an interview..."

"Don't worry, Landlord, I'll help you look after your house!" Lily happily raised her paw and shook it, as if something good had happened to her. "I'm the best at looking after your house. I promise not to let you lose anything!"

"You speak like a dog." Vivian never forgets to sneer at her old enemy, and each taunt is particularly to the point. However, Hao Ren still wants to say: You are so poor and destitute, so don't drag me. ? Do you think you are still worthy of your vampire status?

Lily glared at Vivian, but then shook her head to show that she didn't care: because her stomach growled again, this incident quickly cleared her anger, and she entered a state where her combat effectiveness continued to weaken, and she lay on the table feeling weak. He looked at Hao Ren and said: "Landlord, hurry up and cook. After dinner, I will help you look after the house..."

Hao Ren was slightly in a daze: Did he find two tenants or two ancestors? I have been a landlord for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen my tenants become so familiar with each other!

But he soon attributed everything to the cultural differences between different races and laughed it off. Anyway, these two mistresses were not something he could deal with. In order to ensure a stable life in the future, he had to improve his favorability with these two superwomen. That's the kingly way - at least he will have the confidence to yell at Lily and Vivian when they fight again: as the landlord and owner.

Hao Ren finally managed to feed the two wives, and in the process confirmed that Vivian was indeed eating normal human food, and finally felt the last stone in his heart. It's already eleven o'clock when all this is done. Obviously, the lunch meal can be saved, and then the vampires and werewolves can just eat some snacks and deal with it until the evening. Of course, considering that Vivian, the unlucky guy, is now penniless, and it is absolutely impossible for Lily to share her food with Vivian (canines protect their food), he went out to buy some. A box of biscuits was thrown to Vivian, which almost moved the poor vampire girl to tears... What do you think this is?

Due to the habit of a vampire, Vivian needs to spend a lot of time sleeping during the day, so not long after eating, she went to the room on the second floor to tidy up and prepare to rest. Lily, on the other hand, is most energetic during the day and has to guard the door on the first floor. Helping look after the house, the two of them were finally separated because of their respective racial habits. Hao Ren didn't have to worry about them demolishing the house while he was not at home for the time being. This allowed him to go to the address provided by the mysterious woman for an "interview" with some peace of mind.

That's right, despite his doubts, Hao Ren decided to go over and take a look at the situation. Anyway, he couldn't avoid what was coming. If that woman was related to the "alien" he met in the past two days... then he couldn't avoid it. Yes, just look at the fighting prowess of Vivian and Lily. This is not an area that ordinary people can play with using their brains - not to mention that his brain may not be good enough.

Of course, he also considered asking Lily to follow him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. First of all, he and Lily had just known each other for two days, and the werewolf girl was a bit naive...well, actually, she was a little bit stupid, but being a bit cute didn't mean she could bully others at will. For reasons like that, it really doesn’t make sense to drag Lily to various dangerous situations to use as a shield based on that little trust (it was a last resort to let her live at home to guard against vampire attacks); secondly, Hao Ren is also a seven-foot man after all. , an upright man, because he encountered some strange things in the past two days, he was so nervous that he even had to drag a girl to be his bodyguard when going out for interviews... Can he still survive if this news spreads?

So he decided to bite the bullet and go over to see the situation.

While standing next to the bus stop waiting for the bus, he couldn't help but think of Vivian and Lily's... "alien" forms again in his mind, and muttered to himself: "It's really hard to leave them at home. no problem?"

To be honest, Hao Ren has been in the landlord business (if it can be considered a profession) for several years. He has seen all kinds of tenants, and all kinds of people have lived in his big house. The most important thing for a landlord is to distinguish between Is the tenant reliable, dangerous, or simply a thief and liar? There are many examples of renting a house but attracting thieves, and ultimately resulting in heavy losses. Of course, Hao Ren doesn't have to worry that the two superwomen at home are the latter, because he knows... the superwomen at home are much more dangerous than the latter!

Would it be a mistake to leave them both at home so safely? Will he see ruins when he returns home? Will we see more than two hundred SWATs armed with live ammunition? Will we see the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ fleet filling up the southern suburbs? Will you see two Americans wearing black suits and black sunglasses holding an automatic lead and pressing it on themselves?

With all these unrealistic thoughts in his mind, he got into the car and headed to...another desolate place not far from the southern suburbs.

The address given by the mysterious woman on the phone was a place that Hao Ren had heard of but had never been to. It was very remote and had left the urban area. It could be considered a small village outside the city. There are no direct buses from the city. Even in the southern suburbs, which are already remote enough, there is only a shabby shuttle bus that goes there every hour.

This magical place is called Wangba Tuozi.

Obviously this is also a magical name. The author hopes that it will not be harmonious due to indecent words - because this ghost place is really called Wangba Tuozi.

Hao Ren sat for half an hour in the shabby old bus, which was drafty and would disintegrate if it encountered a slightly larger ditch or bump. The number of passengers in the bus that went up and down at most did not exceed three. Personally, he even wondered if the cynical face of the driver of this car was just to match the car's outrageous condition, but in the end he was safely delivered to his destination and was thrown into a place that looked similar to the previous road. The wilderness is almost indistinguishable from place to place.

The bus sped away with a clanging sound, just like Hao Ren's mood at the moment: he was so excited that he wanted to look up to the sky and roar - this was obviously a scam! Did the woman on the phone not even write a draft when she was trying to trick people? !

Not far from the highway along a winding trail is Wangba Tuozi. Standing on the high ground beside the highway, Hao Ren can clearly see everything there. It is an original ecological old village with only a few dozen households. Almost half of the houses are still crumbling mud houses. The buildings in the village look messy and disorganized, with the smell of decades ago. The largest building in the entire village is a small brick building in the center, which is about the same size as Hao Ren's house...

The woman on the phone used the name of "Import and Export Trading Company" to trick him.

Even if your IQ is lower than your feet, you won’t believe it! ?

But Hao Ren was still fooled into coming.

(Yes, it will be the second update from now on... It is said that this will help the new book score. For the sake of the second update, can everyone give more recommendations? If you don’t have recommendation votes, please give some clicks or publicity~~)
