Upon seeing this message, Lin Zhiluo immediately perked up and pulled the person up on the list.
"Is it me this time?" The other person was surprised by his good luck. He was first delighted, then looked back in fear.
"Hello, host, my name is Yao Xi. I've been feeling really strange lately. When I'm sleeping, someone tells me to leave, saying I'm pressing on them. When I'm showering, I always feel like someone is watching me."
"I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past two days, and I've made a lot of mistakes at work. If this continues, I might lose my job. What am I going to do, anchor?"
Lin Zhilu asked, "It's hard to say about your situation. Why don't you take me to see your home first?"
Yao Xi immediately stood up, and Lin Zhilu changed the subject: "Is this house rented by you? The decoration looks nice. How much do you pay per month?"
"Because this place is close to my company, I rent it for 4,000 a month, with a deposit of three months' rent and payment of one month's rent in advance."
"I see." Lin Zhilu said ambiguously, "Then your rent is too high, and your landlord can't do that either."
Yao Xi's heart skipped a beat.
The comments section was filled with all sorts of opinions.
This sounds like a haunted house.
If the rent were 1,000 a month, I'd believe there was something wrong with the room, but at 4,000 a month, I wouldn't even dare to suspect anything.
Judging from the master's expression, there might be something special about this room. Brother, why don't you check out?
[Rent is never as important as life, and besides, if you can afford four thousand a month in rent, you wouldn't care about this little bit of money.]
Yao Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Four thousand a month is still too much. Besides, I didn't understand anything when I signed the contract. If I cancel the contract, I won't be able to get my three-month deposit back."
[Holy crap, three months' deposit? I thought you misspoke; usually it's one month's deposit and three months' rent in advance.]
You're really unlucky; not only did you rent a problematic place, but the landlord isn't a good person either.
Yao Xi rented a two-bedroom apartment.
After looking at the house, Lin Zhiluo said to Yao Xi, "You should call the police now, there's something in this room."
Yao Xi turned pale with fright: "No...no way, there really is one."
"Speaking of which, you're really unlucky. You shouldn't have rented a place like this. If you continue to live here, first you'll have bad luck, then your health will suffer, and finally you..."
"Will I die in the end?" He thought of the scenes in those horror movies, and he silently shrank back onto the sofa, trying to comfort himself.
"No, you'll eventually become an idiot, but you won't die," Lin Zhiluo comforted her.
Yao Xi: I wasn't comforted at all, okay?
"Yao Xi, why don't you get up from the sofa first?" Lin Zhilu couldn't stand it anymore and whispered a reminder.
Yao Xi seemed to have thought of something and almost instinctively sprang off the sofa.
"You don't need to overreact. There's no one hiding in this sofa, don't worry." Lin Zhiluo could reassure her about this small matter.
Yao Xi could only hide in a corner of the wall, and then, as Lin Zhiluo had told him, he called the police that there was a body in his house. Yao Xi said he was very scared and asked the police to come quickly.
"Yao Xi, why don't you sit on the sofa instead of in the corner?" Lin Zhilu interrupted again.
Yao Xi's voice was already choked with emotion: "Master, please tell me where there's nothing wrong with my house. I'll go there and wait for the police to come."
Lin Zhilu glanced at it: "The balcony is the cleanest part of your house."
"Waaah." Yao Xi sobbed, then closed his eyes and ran to the balcony. He hid in the corner of the balcony, where he could only feel safe.
"Master, is there something inside my wall?" He was terrified, but couldn't suppress his curiosity. "What's inside the wall?"
“It’s a person,” Lin Zhiluo said.
"Waaaaah, why can't I sit on the sofa?"
"Because another person died on the sofa."
Holy crap, is this room this exciting?
I'm starting to feel sorry for this guy; the whole living room is full of male friends.
"Was it them who wouldn't let me sleep properly, or who spied on me while I was showering?" He sniffed. Now, he didn't care about the deposit anymore; he was determined to move.
“No,” Lin Zhiluo said firmly.
"ah?"
At this moment, Yao Xi felt that even if the sky fell, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"There's one on your mattress in your room, and another one in the bathroom ceiling."
The whole room is full of good friends.
Brother, tell me, how did you manage to find your house so precisely out of so many?
【Brother, I see you're also from H city. Could you tell me which company it is? My friend is renting a place recently, and I want him to avoid a bad one.】
"Waaah, Master, I've been staying here for half a month. Will it affect my life?"
"No, that won't happen," Lin Zhiluo said. "There will just be some minor, harmless troubles for a while, but you'll be fine after that."
"Waaah, this shabby house still costs me four thousand a month, and I have a deposit of twelve thousand." Thinking of this, Yao Xi started wiping away tears again.
"Don't cry, the landlord will refund your rent," Lin Zhiluo said.
"Huh?" Yao Xi didn't understand. "He's so stingy, he'd charge me 500 yuan for a piece of paint falling off the wall. Why would he give me my deposit back?"
"Your rent is three months' deposit and one month's rent in advance, which is different from the usual one month's deposit and three months' rent in advance. He's afraid you won't rent his house and will run away."
"He...he...he!" Yao Xi was so frightened she couldn't speak. "Does the landlord know someone died in his house?"
“He doesn’t know, but I think he or people who rented the house before you have experienced what you went through, so he’s scared and probably thinks that you, as a young man, have strong yang energy and can suppress it.”
"Waaah." He started wiping away tears again, knowing the truth, tears streamed down his face.
"Is Mr. Yao Xi here? We are from the nearby police station. We received your report. Please open the door."
"Waaaaah!" Yao Xi rushed out with her eyes closed, then quickly opened the door. "You're finally here! I was so scared all alone."
He rushed out of the house and hid behind the police.
"Officer, the master said there are things in that wall, in my bedroom mattress, and in the bathroom ceiling, and also in that sofa. The master said someone died on it."
"Master? What master?" The policeman was a bit of a headache. This young man looked like he had received higher education, so why would he believe in superstitions like fortune telling?
He held up his phone: "It's Master Lin, who's been all the rage online lately."
He's a loyal fan of Master Lin, never missing a single live stream. Master Lin is different from the scammers on the internet; she has real skills!
"Hello, officers." Lin Zhilu greeted them politely.
