"Is there anything you need help with?" Mu Chen asked.

"Well, it's a bit of a hassle. The owner of the tea stall nodded his head and admitted his purpose, and told him what he was worried about, "There are a lot of empty houses on our street, because there are many people in the college a few days ago, including merchants and family members, so we have rented the house to them in total, and collected some rent to supplement the family. "

"And then, what happened? Did they not pay?" said Ellie, curious.

"They give, but too much. The blood on the tea stall owner's face faded a little, and he seemed a little frightened when he said this, swallowed his saliva and continued: "The limelight of the academy has dissipated, and outsiders have left one after another, and our tenants are no exception. But they chose to leave in the evening, and after dinner, everyone said hello on the street, but disappeared early the next morning. "

"When you open the door, the house is clean and tidy, as if no one is living there these days. There were four gold coins stacked on top of each other on the table, which was far more than the price we had negotiated. After finishing speaking, the owner of the tea stall poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

"Isn't that weird? Maybe the other party is in a hurry. Hearing this, Ellie lost interest, and in her opinion, it was probably just a misunderstanding.

"We thought the same thing at first, but after the next day all the outsiders who rented were gone. The room looked exactly like the furnishings in the first house, still with four gold coins on the table. It's the same as being haunted. They had a lot of luggage when they came, and they left quietly without using the carriage all night?I heard that the academy would teach magic, and this kind of bizarre thing can't even be done by magic!" the tea stall owner patted his left hand with his right hand, and analyzed it one by one.

"But, magic can do it. Ellie didn't take into account the other party's feelings and was blunt.

"This ......", the teahouse owner was speechless, he was just an ordinary person, everything he knew was hearsay, and when he suddenly bumped into the field of professionals, he could still blush.

Mu Chen took a sip of the teacup and said, "Very few people can use magic that can teleport objects and humans in large quantities, so it's okay if you can't do it." "

Do you think that magic is omnipotent? Coordinates, latitude and longitude, temperature, humidity and other factors, from this point of view, magic is much more scientific than talent.

"What about the props? I remember there was a storage bracelet, didn't Celtic have already worked on it?" said Ellie.

"Where did you hear that? Mu Chen raised his eyes to look at her.

"Aren't you imitating the principle of 'Khunna', the person with this talent is a Lanyi, and he is also a cultist, I would know that it is strange?" explained Ellie.

"It does have results, but it is not easy to use, I have an experimental product in my hand, where can a group of ordinary people have the ability to get this thing?" Mu Chen said, "In short, it does sound a little strange, but it is not ruled out that the other party does have the ability to leave quietly at night." Where's that street? Let's stop by and take a look. "

"Turn left on the street, and you'll find the residential neighborhood near the edge of the forest. It's easy to find, everyone thinks it's a hell, and there is a red cloth hanging on the door. The owner of the tea stall said.

Mu Chen settled the money for the two pots of tea, got up and walked towards the edge of the forest with Ellie.

The further you go, the quieter the environment becomes, and there are many empty houses here, some of which are for migrant workers, and some of which are simply uninhabited.

The clouds overwhelmed the sun again, and the temperature around them dropped a bit.

Ellie stretched out her hand and rubbed her bare forearm, but Mu Chen didn't feel anything, and even wanted to make the wind stronger.

Red strips of cloth were tied to the door frames and fluttered in the wind, doors and windows were closed, no one walked on the empty avenue, and a small white dog lay across the middle of the road, barking at the two people who stepped in.

Squeak~

A family opened the door, and a plump woman came out.

She walked three steps and two steps to the back of the puppy. The puppy shook its head and whined in court, and the woman grabbed it by the neck and reached out to fan it lightly.

"Run away again, go back and stay!" the woman reprimanded the dog.

She reminded Mu Chen and the others again: "Recently, go in and out of here to bypass, be careful of getting bad things." "

"We've heard about what's going on here, so come and take a look, you should know this thing. Mu Chen took off the epaulettes and showed it to her.

"Oh! Of course I know, Master Yue Shan walked the streets and alleys to promote, how could he not know. The woman nodded.

She pointed to the opposite side, "Since you have heard what others have said, then I will not say much, that is, the opposite house from the first to the seventh, you can go in and see it if you want to, there is no lock on the door." "

"Why don't you go to the master of the martial arts hall for this kind of thing, don't you believe in the Taixu Immortals?" Ellie asked her, they had been reminded not to promote faith to the local residents before they came here, and she was curious to look through it carefully and get the name of the Taixu Immortal.

In her opinion, this may be some kind of indigenous deity, and although she is in the Goddess Cult, she is also tolerant of other non-heterogeneous beliefs, and she also communicates with other people.

"Worshipping immortals also depends on the day, you look at this cloudy sky, you have to wait for a sunny day to invite the master of the martial arts hall to take the lead in the sacrifice. The woman explained to her that they had their own way of dealing with such things.

Mu Chen pressed Ellie's shoulder to tell her to stop talking, and said to the woman: "Thank you for informing, let's go to the room and leave." "

"Then be careful. "

The houses looked to be some years old, and the white ash on the exterior walls had weathered and peeled, revealing the red stone bricks inside. Although the surrounding residents regularly maintain the house, their standard is to be able to live in it, and it is good to be perfunctory in appearance.

Mu Chen stretched out his hand to push open the door, and the metal lotus leaves stained with sporadic rust made a "squeak~" sound.

The structure of the house is very simple, divided into two rooms, one large and one small, the small room inside is used for living, and the large room outside is placed with simple wooden tables and chairs, which can be used as a living room or kitchen.

The four gold coins in the mouth of the tea stall owner were still on the table, and it seemed that they would not touch them again until they sacrificed to the immortals.

Mu Chen picked it up and weighed it, there was no problem.

Put it back in place and go into the back room.

The

wooden bed was placed against the wall, a low cabinet was placed near the head of the bed, and a painted wardrobe was placed on the wall near the door, and the window could be seen when you turned right.

It's all gone, there are no traces, even the dust on the cabinet is new.

Mu Chen checked it, but he didn't get anything.
