, they all collapsed together with the naked eye.

In addition, a flower wall with iron fences was built around this building. Those colored steel tile walls were tied to this wall with iron wires. And on the rusty gate of the wall

, and there was a tattered sign that read "Caban Lake Candy Company".

While Wei Ran was observing the environment inside through the flower wall, Culp also gave up the futile effort of using the key to unlock the gate of the fence and bent down directly to pick up a broken brick that had fallen from the flower wall and smashed it hard.

With a loud "clang" sound, the broken brick in Culp's hand was shattered into rubbish, but the iron lock, which was as big as a fist, covered in rust and with a half-cut key, was unscathed.

"Wait for me," Culp said. Without waiting for Wei Ran to speak, he lowered his head and drilled out of the small door in the colored steel tile wall. Soon after, he came back with a pair of hydraulic pliers.

Seeing the other party's expression of "I've actually been prepared for this", Wei Ran had to swallow back the words that were on his lips, preparing to see what terrifying conditions Culp would use such a pile of ruins to offer later.

After struggling to open the iron gate, Culp held a hydraulic clamp in one hand and took out a PSS silent pistol from the holster under his arm with the other hand.

"Don't be nervous," Culp said with a smile, "No one has been here for a long time. There might be some small animals or drug addicts hiding here."

"These are enough to make people nervous, okay?" Wei Ran muttered angrily, and while increasing his vigilance, he asked curiously, "Is this really Teacher Dalia's home?"

"To be precise, it should be Dalia's husband's home," Culp explained as if squeezing out toothpaste.

"Teacher Dalia is married?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, remember Leva, the old veteran who opened a camera shop in Kirov?"

Culp gently pushed the wooden door covered with mold on the first floor of the building, but before he could push the door open, the wooden door clanged into the lobby on the first floor of the building.

"Remember" Wei Ran fanned the dust in front of his eyes, squinting his eyes and holding his breath.

Compared with the large yard outside, which is 50 to 60 meters square, this building only covers an area of ​​about 500 square meters at most, and the inside of this door is basically a large empty warehouse. On the slightly cracked concrete floor, except for

Apart from some iron candy boxes packed in wooden boxes and a large amount of faded wrapping paper waiting to be used, there were no personal belongings at all. There were even a lot of inexplicable graffiti on the walls.

"Her husband was Leva's partner at the time and the heir to the candy company. Unfortunately, he did not come back alive from Grozny. At that time, Darya had even..."

Culp stopped abruptly in the middle of his explanation, and instead stepped into the interior of the building. He used the hydraulic pliers in his hand to tap on the concrete wall to inspect it, and at the same time, he said in a sales pitch, "It's not bad.

The quality of this building is very good. As long as we simply repair the roof and redecorate it, we can hold your funeral here."

"Can't you say something auspicious?"

Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, and at the same time thought about how to politely refuse. It was true that he wanted to move the studio to Kazan, but he didn't necessarily have to move there, and even if he had to move, there was really no need to choose a new location.

Such a shabby place.

"Then say something auspicious."

Culp rounded his arms and smashed the hydraulic clamp in his hand onto the stairs leading to the second floor in the distance. Seeing that the stairs did not collapse, he walked up the stairs and continued, "Dalia asked me to tell you

, if you are willing to move your studio here and repair this dilapidated house as much as possible, by the way, leave the two sunny rooms on the far left side of the third floor to her. After she dies, this house will be yours.

.”

"This is nothing but auspicious words." Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, "Does Her Majesty Dalia want to make me the crown prince?"

"In addition, she also asked me to tell you."

Culp, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, stopped and said with a smile, "Teacher Dalia said that if you plan to refuse, be prepared to double the content of all courses in March."

"Why?" Wei Ran asked in confusion.

"Of course because she is your teacher and has the right to decide your classes..."

"No, no, no," Wei Ran added without waiting for the other party to finish, "I mean, why do you have to give me this place?"

"No matter how good a house is, it will collapse if no one lives in it for too long."

Culp turned around and continued walking to the second floor while explaining, "Dalia has never been here, but at the same time she was worried that this dilapidated house would completely collapse into ruins.
