Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 325

Chapter 324 Haunted House

Thor did not answer the visitor immediately. He scanned the surroundings and found that there were many people coming in and out of the lobby on the first floor. A few were led by people wearing the same clothes, and most of them were alone.

During the period of Thor’s observation, the man next to him who was suspected to be a waiter of the hotel had been waiting quietly.

The man was taller than Thor, so he kept his neck shrunk and his waist bent when talking to Thor.

Thor did not deliberately leave anyone out. After a quick scan, he followed the waiter’s instructions and entered the lobby.

“I hope to find a quiet and remote house, preferably in the suburbs, but not more than half a day’s journey from the outpost town.”

The lobby on the first floor was decorated like a luxurious tavern, but there was a wide aisle in the middle of the hall for people to walk.

And in the middle of this aisle, there was a black short-pile carpet.

When Thor walked in, no one else walked on the carpet except him.

Even the man who led the way for him walked close to the carpet, but did not dare to step into the carpet half a centimeter away.

Fortunately, when Thor came in, the hall was still very lively and did not become quiet immediately after his entry, otherwise Thor would have felt a little embarrassed.

Although he did not care about other people’s eyes, he did not like being treated as a national treasure all the time.

The attendant who was guiding Thor leaned towards him and said in a low voice that he could hear: “We can provide you with a variety of options. Please sit in the private room for a while. We will present you with detailed information.”

The man led Thor to a place similar to a private room, at the deepest part of the hall.

After Thor went in and sat down, the male attendant was about to call for someone to pour water and serve food.

“No need.” Thor stopped his unnecessary actions, “I heard that you can complete my request the fastest, so I came here. How much time do I have to see your information?”

The attendant’s smile froze, and he bowed and said: “Within three minutes.”

After that, he saluted Thor again, then quickly walked to the door and explained Thor’s request to the people waiting outside.

At this time, a distant quarrel came in through the half-open door.

“…I told you that my luggage was lost in that haunted house! You must help me find it back!”

“Sorry, Mr. Sander, we have sent people into the house you have vacated, and there was no luggage inside.”

“Impossible, I had just been about to move in, and I hadn’t even opened my luggage when I ran into a ghost! You sold this house to me, you must be responsible.”

“But Lord Sander, we have sent three groups of people into the house in succession, and you were there the last time. You know the situation at that time, there was no ghost or your luggage.”

“It must have been hidden by a ghost that time. I don’t care, you must find my luggage back, there are very important things in it for me! If you lose my luggage, I will tell people everywhere that you rent out haunted houses to outsiders!”

“Lord Sander…we sympathize with what happened to you in the new house. We cannot rule out the possibility that your luggage might have been stolen by someone else after you left without closing the door.”

“Others, ha, the house you introduced to me is in the deep mountains and forests, with a lake next to it, and you can’t even see the roofs of the neighbors around it. Tell me there could be other people?”

At this time, the other voice was already a little impatient.

“Mr. Sander, it was you who requested a secluded environment, no more than half a day’s drive from the town, and preferably a lake nearby for you to stroll under the moonlight! The house we offer absolutely meets your requirements!”

“But I didn’t ask for a haunted house!”

At first, the two people’s voices were not loud, but wizards have strong mental power and their five senses are much better than ordinary people, so Thor heard them clearly.

But soon, the voices of the two people could not be controlled and became higher and higher, and it was estimated that everyone in the hall could hear them.

At this time, the original male attendant turned around with several stacked papers, and was interrupted just as he was about to present them to Thor.

Thor raised his right hand and pointed outside.

“Sir, I will ask them to be quiet right away. If you need them to come and apologize to you…”

“I want the house that Mr. Sander has vacated. If you haven’t completed the formalities yet, please invite him over as well.”

The attendant was stunned for a moment, but he immediately adjusted his expression and bowed his head respectfully, “No problem, sir.”

So, just two minutes later, Sander, who looked embarrassed, sat opposite Thor.

He came in with the rental agreement that had not yet been signed.

“Sir.” Sander raised his head carefully, and immediately lowered his eyes when he met Thor’s.

Thor scanned Sander’s body without any hesitation. This seemingly unreasonable Sander was actually a gigolo.

This “gigolo” is a very accurate adjective.

Because Sander in front of him didn’t know what he had applied on his face, the effect was only a little more natural than using flour as foundation.

Fortunately, he also knew to apply a little flesh pink on his cheeks to make him look a little more normal, otherwise if he saw a ghost, I wouldn’t know who should be afraid.

He also had a slightly curly long hair that fell to his shoulders.

However, seeing the servants’ indifferent expressions, Thor knew that this might be a custom of dressing up in a certain place.

“Are you saying that there is a ghost in the house you just rented?” Thor asked.

“Yes, Master Wizard.” Sander didn’t dare to look at Thor again, and could only look down at the ground in front of Thor’s toes.

“What kind of ghost?”

Sander rubbed his fingers unconsciously, “I, I didn’t see a ghost directly.”

After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Thor would misunderstand that he was lying, and hurriedly sped up his speech and continued: “Although I didn’t see it directly, there was really a ghost in that house. As soon as I walked in, the door was immediately closed. I swear, my clothes didn’t get caught on the door handle, and there was no wind at the time!”

Perhaps he had been suspected by countless people, Sander explained while narrating, fearing that Thor would also misunderstand him as a liar.

“And when I was going upstairs, someone pulled my trouser leg. I swear I didn’t slip! I really saw a gray-white hand! His nails were also black, and he scratched a hole in my pants at the time.”

Then Sander told about his experience in a guest room on the first floor.

What “prying eyes”, what “weird laughter”, what “window that can’t be closed”.

Thor noticed that the servant standing at the door and listening had rolled his eyes impatiently.

But Thor knew that the man named Sander was not lying.

When he squinted at Sander, he saw a rotten, maggoty gray arm hooked around Sander’s neck.

Judging from the bones and skin of the arm, it should belong to a girl or a slender boy.

It’s just that the elbow and wrist of the rotten arm were hidden in Sander’s curly hair, and it was impossible to tell whether there was a person hanging behind him.

A maggot fell into Sander’s collar because of his excited movements, and the latter happened to raise his hand a few seconds later and scratched his chest casually.

“My lord, what I said is true, please believe me!”

After telling everything, Sander finally raised his head and tried to stare at his sincere big eyes, trying to impress the powerful wizard in front of him.

Fifteen minutes late TAT
