Chapter 31: The Terrifying System
After pondering for a while, Su Xiao chose a house. He arrived at the residential area where the home was located by the afternoon.
This was a somewhat older community, located on the edge of the city, but it had its conveniences.
Some of the districts were deserted, and only a few old people sat around playing chess.
This was truly a neighborhood for elders. Actually, most of the residents were old people, but it was clean here, compared to the dirty air in the city center, it felt much better here.
Su Xiao saw a young man in a suit who seemed to be waiting for something as he looked at his wristwatch from time to time.
Su Xiao moved closer to him, and the suited young man immediately greeted him.
"Hello, are you Mr. Su? I am the agent of the Sunshine Housing Network Xiaoji."
Su Xiao nodded. He was renamed Su Xiao at this time (E/N: He changed the way his name was written). This name had a legal identity, ID card, and so on. His ticket, as well as items such as his phone card, were handled in this identity.
In the current era, without legal identification, it was somewhat difficult to move.
"Yes, that's me. Take me to see the flat."
The agent of Xiaoji eagerly began to introduce the flat to Su Xiao.
"Mr. Su, I won't lie to you, while the rent of 800 per month is a good price, with the future prospects of real estate in DL city now if you have enough money, it is an even better choice to buy this flat…."
As the enthusiastic introduction began, Su Xiao just smiled and dealt with it.
He won't buy a place here, and it was unknown how long he would be able to stay here as a wanted man. He needed to be ready to flee at a moment's notice.
Although he was pretty strong and did not really care about the police, that did not mean that he could ignore the power of the country.
The police only maintained the security of the cities. The real power of the country was the army.
If the army surrounded Su Xiao, he wouldn't be able to do a thing. The army was different here than those cowards in the world of One Piece.
The real world's technology was well developed, and the military's weapons and equipment were far more advanced here. Unless his attributes were to exceed 30 points, he would be unable to compete against the army.
And from the attitude of the Reincarnation Paradise, it did not want to interfere in the real world. This world may even be the foundation of the Reincarnation of Paradise.
According to Su Xiao's previous observations, most contractors should come from the real world. That's why the Reincarnation Paradise will most likely avoid interfering in matters of the real world.
While Su Xiao was thinking, he had already arrived at the door of the flat.
"It's here. Mr. Su, please come in."
The Agent of Xiaoji opened the door quickly, and he seemed to be hurried for some reason.
"Do you have something urgent to deal with?"
Su Xiao looked at the agent, and he was not acting abnormal, just anxious.
"No, nothing, I just need to go to the toilet, sorry, Mr. Su."
Su Xiao entered the flat and entered a spacious living room, which had been decorated well and didn't feel bad. The warm decoration style was very suitable for living there for a long time.
Su Xiao walked around the room, it was well ventilated, and the sunlight could enter the room through several windows. He didn't need to prepare anything, and he could just settle in with a bag.
Knocking on the walls, Su Xiao roughly judged their thickness. The walls in these old-fashioned communities were generally thick, so the sound insulation would be better.
"Not bad. I want to rent it."
The agent was pleased.
"That's good, Mr. Su. Since the price is relatively favorable, the shortest contract for rent here is for one year. This is the contract, and please take a look."
Su Xiao checked the contract and found no problem, so he paid the money, signed, and officially rented the flat.
After everything was done, the agent of Xiaoji politely said goodbye to Su Xiao, but his next move was strange.
The agent first opened the door, and after confirming that there was no one in the corridor, he quickly left.
Su Xiao noticed his behavior, though: It seemed there was no problem with the flat, but someone living in this building scared the agent.
"Interesting."
Su Xiao chuckled. It was already weird to see an ad for a house that cost 100,000 dollars per month. Now, it seemed he rented a place in another 'uncommon' community.
But Su Xiao didn't care about this. He was a wanted criminal. Would he feel afraid because of this? Bullshit.
Su Xiao sat on the sofa in the living room, not knowing what to do.
Before his 'death,' he killed the last enemy he could find the location of and was now in a foreign place. He could only temporarily postpone his revenge. He was also helpless.
Although he had inhumane strength now, that did not mean that he could do everything.
Revenge was not completed by impulsive actions; he had been patient for three years, he could wait for a bit longer.
Su Xiao believed that once he had enough strength, he would have ways to find his enemies.
After gradually calming down, Su Xiao began to plan for the future.
He had found a residence. The next thing to do was to wait for the call of the Reincarnation Paradise and to continue increasing his strength in the Reincarnation Paradise.
"Bzzt, Bzzt."
His phone suddenly vibrated; someone was calling.
He checked the display, and it showed an 'unknown number.' After picking up the phone, Su Xiao did not speak.
"Friend, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Why haven't you arrived yet."
Su Xiao was slightly stunned. It was the voice of the man who wanted to rent the house for 100,000 dollars before.
"It's too problematic to rent your place. I'm hanging up."
After that, Su Xiao tried to hang up.
"Wait." The voice from the phone was a little quiet, and Su Xiao's finger stopped over the end-call-button.
"Friends, all of us are selling our lives in the "paradise." Are you still going to hang up?"
Su Xiao stood up suddenly, hearing the word "paradise" made him think of the Reincarnation Paradise.
"I'm not interested."
Su Xiao's voice was dull, but he suddenly felt that something was abnormal. Why did he call that number before?
Although he was not short of money, when he thought about the rent of 100,000 dollars right now, the price was far too outrageous. He was not stupid.
At that moment, Su Xiao realized that there might be something wrong with the rental advertisement. He had called the number without much thought. At that time, in his mind, 100,000 dollars a month didn't sound high. He thought that the quality of the house must be good would justify the price.
But now that he thought about it, this was too outrageous.
Had that been hypnosis? No, Su Xiao immediately denied this point. Su Xiao had seen hypnosis before, and it was not this magical. The advertisement was somewhat similar to psychological suggestions.
"Come to see me right now, or I will kill you."
The man on the phone had begun to threaten him.
"All I hear is a barking dog; when you talk big like this, you should do so while stepping on your enemy's head instead of talking on the phone."
After that, Su Xiao hung up the phone without worrying about the person tracking his position.
The phone he used and spent a lot of money to get blocked track.
In a small courtyard located in the junction of urban and rural, a shirtless old-aged man sat on a little bench, his face twisted as he tightly gripped the phone in his hand.
"Five, have you tracked the location of this call?"
The man roared, his face showing his numerous scars.
A slim figure took a few steps out of a bungalow.
"Boss, the person seemed to use anti-tracking, the higher-ups said to give up."
The face of the old man was showing his anger.
"Give up? Do you know how many paradise coins I spent on the advertisement? It was 10,000 paradise coins! Those Sorcerers specializing in psychology are really fucking greedy!"
Although the old man with several scars on his face said so, he had pretty much given up on his mind already.
The advertisement could only be seen by contractors, and those with more than 20 points of intelligence were immune to it. The person just gave him a call, indicating that his intelligence should not be much below that.
If that person were to be a Sorcerer, it would spell doom. He did not want to continue provoking Su Xiao.
After Su Xiao signed the contract with the Reincarnation Paradise, the full appearance of the real world gradually began to appear to him.
Although the Reincarnation Paradise did not support contractors in interfering with each other in the real world, there were always people who would take risks.
Most of them didn't know that there was a group of people in the Reincarnation Paradise, called 'Hunters,' who specialize in punishing them.
