Hao Ren put down the phone and stood there in a daze.
If it was in the past, he would've most likely thought that the call time and the strange caller ID was a problem with his phone, and then he would've stopped thinking about what to do. But now, he was in a rather sensitive state.
Looking at the two abnormal tenants in the living room, he realized that his life was completely out of the norm. Some of the things that had been regarded as after-dinner gossip and urban legends might be true, some myths might be true, and even some of the imaginative works that only appeared in movies … might be true.
Hao Ren was already very sensitive, so sensitive that he would think that the little tabby cat called Rollie at home was some kind of omen. So, when he recalled the abnormal number, he felt a chill down his spine. More importantly, he remembered that he had never submitted his resume to any import and export trading company!
Yes, he had submitted a lot of resumes for all kinds of jobs, including two for a male public relations officer and one for a pet psychotherapist (God knows what that was), but he had never submitted a resume for an import and export trading company! Because Hao Ren was very clear about his educational background and expertise. He was a weirdo who needed to use a calculator to buy celery. How would he dare to go to a trading company … Would he sell himself by the pound?
In Hao Ren's eyes, the import and export trading company was probably the same as the small supermarket at the entrance of the alley.
"Landlord? Landlord, you're stunned! " Lily's surprised voice came from the side, and Hao Ren quickly recovered. He nodded at the two abnormal creatures. "Oh, a company asked me to go for an interview in the afternoon …"
"Landlord, don't worry, I'll help you look after the house!" Lily happily raised her paw and waved it, as if something good had happened. "I'm the best at looking after the house. I promise I won't let you lose anything!"
"You're talking like a dog." Vivian did not forget to sneer at her old enemy, and every time she taunted, it was especially to the point. But Hao Ren still wanted to say, "You're already so poor, can you stop being so arrogant? Do you think you're worthy of your identity as a vampire?
Lily glared at Vivian, but she shook her head to show that she did not care. Her stomach was growling again. Lily's rage level was reduced to zero, and her combat effectiveness was reduced. She lay on the table and looked at Hao Ren weakly. "Mr. Landlord, hurry up and cook. I'll help you look after the house after dinner …"
Hao Ren was a little dazed. Did he find two tenants or two ancestors? He had been a landlord for so many years, but this was the first time he saw a tenant being so friendly!
But he quickly put it down to the cultural differences and laughed it off. After all, he could not deal with these two women. For the sake of his future stability, he had to make the two superwomen like him. That way, when Lily and Vivian fought again, he would have the confidence to yell at them: as a landlord cum owner.
Hao Ren finally fed the two women. In the process, he confirmed that Vivian was eating normal human food. That was the last stone in his heart. When he was done, it was already 11 o 'clock. Obviously, he could skip lunch and let the vampires and werewolves have some snacks until the night. Of course, considering that Vivian was penniless, and that Lily would never share her food with Vivian (canines were very protective of their food), Hao Ren went out to buy a box of biscuits for Vivian. The poor vampire maiden was so touched that she almost cried … What the hell was going on?!
Due to the habits of vampires, Vivian needed to sleep most of the time during the day. So, not long after she finished her meal, she went to the room on the second floor to clean up and rest. Lily, on the other hand, was the most energetic during the day. She had to guard the house on the first floor. The two of them were separated due to their different habits. For the time being, Hao Ren did not have to worry that they would destroy the house when he was not at home. This gave him a peace of mind to go to the address provided by the mysterious woman for the interview.
That's right. Despite his doubts, Hao Ren decided to go and check out the situation. He could not avoid it. If the mysterious woman was related to the "unusual creatures" he had met in the past two days … he would not be able to avoid it. Just look at Vivian and Lily's combat power. This was not a field that ordinary people could play with their brains. Moreover, his brain might not even be strong enough to handle it.
Of course, he considered letting Lily tag along, but he decided against it. First of all, he had only known Lily for two days. The werewolf girl was a little naive … Well, she was a little dumb, but being a little dumb was not a reason to bully her. It would not be right for him to drag Lily into all kinds of dangerous situations based on that little bit of trust (Letting her stay at home to guard against ambushes from the vampires was a last resort). Second, Hao Ren was a seven-foot man, a proper man. Just because of the strange things that had happened in the past two days, he was so nervous that he had to drag a girl as his bodyguard when he went out for an interview … How could he live with himself if word got out?
So, he decided to bite the bullet and check out the situation.
As he stood by the bus stop waiting for the bus, he could not help but think of Vivian and Lily in their "unusual" forms. He mumbled to himself, "Is it really okay to leave them at home?"
In fact, Hao Ren had been a landlord for a few years now. He had seen all kinds of tenants, including people from all walks of life. As a landlord, the most important thing was to distinguish whether a tenant was reliable, dangerous, or simply a thief or a liar. There were many examples of renting a house only to attract thieves, and in the end, the landlord suffered heavy losses. Of course, Hao Ren was not worried that the two superwomen at home were the latter. He knew … the superwomen at home were much more dangerous than the latter!
Was it a mistake to leave the two of them at home so easily? Would he see a wasteland when he returned home? Would he see more than two hundred SWAT soldiers with live ammunition? Would he see the convoy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences filling up the Southern Suburbs? Would he see two Americans in black suits and black sunglasses holding an automatic lead and pressing it on him?
With these unrealistic thoughts in his head, he got into the car and headed to … another deserted 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, far away from the city's radiation range. It could be considered a small village outside of the city. There was no direct bus from the city to the place. Even in the remote Southern Suburbs, there was only a shabby bus that came every hour.
This magical place was called "Bastard."
Obviously, it was also a magical name. The author hoped that it would not be forgotten because of some indecent words. Because this place was really called "Bastard."
Hao Ren sat in the shabby and windy bus for half an hour. It looked like it would disintegrate if it encountered a slightly bigger ditch. Along the way, there were no more than three passengers on and off the bus. He even suspected that the driver of the bus had a cynical face to match the bus's outrageous condition. But in the end, he was safely sent to his destination. He was dumped in a place that looked no different from the wilderness he had passed by before.
The bus left with a clattering sound, just like Hao Ren's mood at the moment. It was surging, and he wanted to scream to the sky. He was obviously tricked! The woman on the phone didn't even write a draft when she tricked him, right?!
Not far from the road was Bastard. Standing on the high ground beside the road, Hao Ren could clearly see everything in that place. It was a primitive old village with only a few dozen families. Almost half of the houses were still crumbling mud houses. The village buildings looked messy, with the smell of decades ago. The largest building in the whole village was a small brick building in the middle. It was about the same size as Hao Ren's house …
The woman on the phone tricked him into coming here under the name of an "import and export trading company."
Even if his IQ was lower than his feet, he wouldn't believe it!
But Hao Ren was still tricked.
That's right, it will be the second chapter from now on … It is said that this is good for the new book. For the sake of the second chapter, can everyone give me more recommendations? If there are no recommendations, give me some clicks or publicity ~ ~
