Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 238: Purchasing a Wedding House
"I should have thought of it earlier. It's normal for a young, handsome and promising man like Xia Jun to have such a beautiful girlfriend who likes cosplay..."

"The single-family house you want to buy must be used as your future wedding house, right?"

He looked at the two of them ambiguously, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Boss Saejima, what on earth did you misunderstand..."

Xia Fan wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start, so he could only sigh silently.

"Wedding...wedding house? A single-family house... it's actually pretty good..."

Aoi Jinguji's cheeks turned slightly red, but there was a hint of intention in her eyes.

"Don't worry. It's rare to have such a happy and normal business as 'Purchasing a Wedding House'. Since you two have placed such a heavy trust in me, I will definitely not let you down..."

"Let's get going without delay! Mr. Driver, please follow me closely..."

With tears in his eyes, Tetsuo Saejima released the handbrake with full energy and rushed out with his foot on the accelerator.

……

The black commercial vehicle followed the mini truck and sped towards the west of Ikebukuro.

"Mr. Xia Fan, you are now a popular 'Seven Star International Trainee'. You took the time to come and assist in the investigation. I am really grateful."

Inside the car, Aoi Jinguji thanked Xia Fan softly.

"Don't tease me. If everyone hadn't been 'overdoing it', how could I have been promoted to the center position? I've been recognized several times on the street recently. I don't feel as comfortable as before..."

"Besides, I was going to look at the house anyway, so it's no problem for me to help with the investigation."

Looking at the witch's smiling eyes that showed no sign of "gratitude", Xia Fan took off his sunglasses and mask and sighed.

The international version of the theme song MV broke through the circle and attracted traffic. Standing in the center, he gradually stepped out of the "Danmei circle" and began to break through the two-dimensional and abstract circles. The recognition of passers-by rose sharply...

According to the recording agreement of the "Idol Birth Festival" program team, trainees cannot have any exposure unrelated to the program content during the recording of the program, not even taking photos with passers-by or signing autographs.

This also led to him wearing a mask in convenience stores, streets and other public places in the past two days to avoid being recognized by passers-by.

"By the way, regarding the organization that believes in 'Amabie', after the previous clearing operations, they were obviously on guard and sent the believers back home. Our people only tracked down a few empty houses with traces of multiple people's activities..."

"Also, the cemetery and haunted house you marked last time have been exorcised, and soul-soothing stones have been placed to prevent future troubles."

"After your reminder, Section 9 has started the 'haunted house cleanup' work on the existing houses in Tokyo, but due to the fact that the houses are too dense, there are too many of them, and there is a shortage of exorcists, the progress is very slow..."

Jinguji Aoi put away her smile and reported her recent work situation to Xia Fan in a serious manner.

The supernatural cases in Lesson 9 are mostly about dealing with cases that have already happened. Because of Xia Fan's report of the "haunted house", it was realized that the large number of "accident properties" hidden in District 11 are actually "supernatural bombs"...

Generally speaking, "earthbound spirits" will not actively attack people, and ordinary people without inspiration cannot see them. It's like the two sides live in parallel time and space, with no possibility of contact...

However, as foul energy and obsession accumulate, there is a possibility that the earthbound spirit will "evolve" into a more ferocious existence, which can be regarded as an unstable "supernatural risk factor."

However, because there are too many "suspicious houses" and there are few exorcists who are able to identify them, the investigation work of Lesson 9 is progressing very slowly.

"Indeed, there are too many 'haunted houses' hidden among the people. Even with the efficiency of Section 9, there is no way to solve them in a short period of time."

"So today, should I hope that President Saejima will be helpful or not?"

Looking at the mini truck speeding flexibly in front of him, Xia Fan felt extremely conflicted for a moment.

Originally, Jinguji Aoi wanted to take advantage of the time when he finished recording to make an appointment to discuss the case in person.

After hearing that Xia Fan was going to look at a house, she asked Rimu to be her driver and followed him with great interest. The reason she gave was...

If you encounter a "haunted house", Lesson 9 will close and seal it off, waiting for "purification"...

If it is a normal house, then just act as a friend and ask for your reference.

……

"We're here, Mr. Xia, Mrs. Xia, this is the first house we're going to see today..."

After driving for half an hour, Tetsuo Saejima and a few others arrived in front of a brand new all-wooden one-family building.

"My last name is Jinguji..."

Jinguji Aoi blushed slightly and introduced herself.

"Oh, sorry, you haven't completed the formalities yet, so you haven't changed your last name? Sorry, sorry..."

Saejima spoke in the tone of a middle-aged uncle and cupped his hands in a teasing manner.

"This house is located in Toda City. The subway station is about a ten-minute walk away. It's a little far to drive to Ikebukuro, but it's within an hour..."

Then, he nimbly climbed over the one-meter-high courtyard wall, hooked a key from the gap in the stairs, and opened the door for the two of them with his backhand.

Higurashi did not get out of the car, but waited in the cab with a vigilant look on his face.

"The house is only three years old, and the real estate developer has already done all the renovations. You can just adjust the interior and electrical appliances to your preferred style and move in..."

"Originally, there were some unknown problems with the circuit of this house, and there would be occasional power outages for no reason, but after installing the rooftop photovoltaic and energy storage system, these problems were basically solved."

"The price of the whole house is about 20 million yen, which is % lower than the average level of the surrounding area..."

After introducing the basic information in the documents, the three of them entered the house simultaneously.

As Saejima said, the house was fully decorated, but it was not equipped with soft furnishings, furniture or appliances, so it looked a bit empty.

There is no such thing as "bare-shell houses" in District 11, so this house, which is only equipped with hard furnishings, is already considered very "bare-shell".

"President Saejima, according to your information, this house is not an 'accident object', right?"

Xia Fan confirmed in a low voice.

"There is indeed no record of any related accidents in the real estate developer's files."

"Because I encountered a 'laundered' house last time, I specially selected this new house that was built just three years ago and has an incredible price-performance ratio to recommend to you."

Saejima carefully looked at the information in his hand and explained honestly.

"..."

Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi looked at each other silently.

"By the way, let's go upstairs and take a look. According to the floor plan, there is a large cloakroom connected to the master bedroom, and there is also a luxurious bathroom..."

"Well, wait a moment."

Just as Tetsuo Saejima was about to go to the second floor, he was stopped by Xia Fan.
