Chapter 34 Shen Yan received the roasted dried fish and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, she signed for it. However, she only signed for it...
After receiving the grilled dried fish, Chen Yan carefully checked it and signed for it after confirming that there was no problem. However, after signing for it, the trash can was strangely motionless at the door, which made Chen Yan a little nervous. Did she miss something?
Chen Yan looked down at the package in her hand, and suddenly remembered that Ying Yuanxing didn't have many packing bags. The extra packing bags were given by the Yuegou app. After selling this batch of grilled dried fish, there would not be enough packing bags.
Did Ying Yuanxing notify the couriers to recycle the packaging bags?
Chen Yan had to go to class and couldn't watch Ying Yuanxing's live broadcast all the time, so she made this guess based on Ying Yuanxing's usual frugal style and the strange behavior of the trash can.
"Sorry, please wait a moment, I'll give you the bag outside right away." Chen Yan apologized and immediately went back to the house to find a plate and take out the grilled dried fish.
In fact, she guessed wrong. The trash can was strangely missing the aroma of roasted dried fish, so it was a little slow. It was ready to leave, but when it heard Shen Yan's words, it stopped immediately.
The packaging bag wasn't important, but there were some crumbs of roasted dried fish stuck in it. As long as Chen Yan didn't clean it up too cleanly, he could eat it. After all, the courier had already been inspected and accepted, so he wouldn't be in breach of contract by eating some scraps.
In the strange expectation of the trash can, Shen Yan came out with a takeaway bag, which contained only a few pieces of dried grilled fish crumbs.
Because as a spectator of Ying Yuan Star, Chen Yan was also influenced to develop a habit of not wasting. Besides, ten ghost coins were equivalent to one hundred grams of roasted dried fish, which, converted into the previous exchange price, would cost ten yuan per gram, so it naturally could not be wasted.
If she wasn't worried about the strangeness of the trash can and hadn't waited outside for too long and got impatient, Shen Yan would have wanted to scrub it with clean water.
However, holding the packing bag, Shen Yan looked at the tightly closed lid of the trash can, hesitating whether to open it, but this action was still a bit dangerous.
With a bang, the lid of the trash can opened automatically. Although the trash can strangely didn't say anything, its meaning was already very clear - put it in quickly.
Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, whispered a thank you, then carefully pinched the takeaway bag and threw it in. The lid closed again, and the trash can flashed and disappeared.
After Shen Yan closed the door, she couldn’t help but talk about this matter in the live broadcast room.
[The trash can was strangely delivered to my door just now. I didn’t know that they would recycle the packaging bags. Fortunately, I reacted and didn’t make Weiyi wait any longer.]
[But the weirdness of the trash can seems to be quite good. Seeing that I didn’t dare to open the lid, it took the initiative to open the lid. It would be great if other weirdness could be like this.]
【？ ？ ？ ？ 】
[What? You want to recycle the takeaway bags? How come I didn’t know about this? I heard a knock on the door and went to get it. The package was just on the ground, and I didn’t even see the weird shadow of the trash can.]
[I did see it, but he just threw the package to me and ran away. That’s not very polite.]
[Me neither. Wait, someone knocks on the door. No one says anything. I'll go check it out.]
[Isn't the above statement a bit too bold? Generally speaking, nowadays people basically call first or shout outside the door. It's rare that they just knock on the door without saying anything. I don't dare to think too much.]
【Same worries! 】
[Does anyone know anyone? Should I call the Shuguang Bureau?]
[…Thank you for your concern, I’m back]
[I’m glad you’re back. Who’s knocking on the door? It’s too scary if someone knocks without saying anything.]
[emmmmm, the previous guess was correct]
[No way, this is really weird]
[It was the trash can that was weird. When I opened the door, the lid of the trash can opened and a packing bag was stuck on it. I remembered what the commentary said about recycling packing bags, so I took the packing bag out and threw it in.]
【Then what】
[Then the trash can mysteriously left]
[I suspect you forgot to recycle it before, so the person who received the goods earlier might come to you later. Please prepare the things in advance.]
【Luckily I didn’t lose the bag】
【I also】
[Scary, I originally wanted to throw it away, but my mom said the bag looked sturdy, so I kept it. Otherwise, I don’t know how scary it would be if the trash can came to my door strangely without the bag.]
[I went to watch other live broadcast rooms, but didn’t see any news about recycling packaging bags]
[Because the sales are small, the store that sells the most now should only sell a few dozen, and the price is still high, and there is no need to recycle them. The anchor's side, ten ghost coins are the same, almost a thousand copies. If the packaging bags are not recycled, they will have to be bought again for delivery later. It is too troublesome to go to the city.]
In fact, Jiang Hua was not as relaxed as he said in the barrage. The moment he found the trash can strange, he thought he had violated some taboo and was going to die on the spot.
Fortunately, the packing bag on the lid of the bucket helped him regain some sanity. Thinking of the barrage sent by Shen Yan, he quickly handed over the packing bag. Fortunately, the trash can mysteriously took it and left, which made him relax.
Soon, one after another, people in the live broadcast room encountered the strange garbage cans that were used to recycle the bags. Because they had been warned in advance, they were not scared and handed over the bags directly.
Only some viewers were wondering, did they miss something? Why didn't they see Ying Yuanxing say that he wanted to recycle the packaging bags? However, they didn't dare to question the strange arrival of the trash can. After all, it was just recycling packaging bags, and there was no need to go to trouble for such a small matter.
What's more, considering Ying Yuanxing's usual frugal style, it is normal to recycle the packaging bags.
The humans were puzzled but accepted this matter naturally. As for the trash can weird clan, several trash can weird clans found that there were actually people of the same clan willing to help deliver the express, and they were happy to let them help. After all, it was still very torturous to smell the aroma of roasted dried fish but not be able to eat it.
As for the other party asking them for the previous delivery address, they gave it out without any concern.
Trash can No. 1666 worked strangely and hard, and harvested a large number of recycling bags. There were not many roasted fish crumbs left in one bag, and only a little bit of oil, but when there were thousands of bags, the taste was much richer.
1666 finally got to eat the grilled dried fish that he had been craving for a long time. With his ability, he could actually devour all of the grilled dried fish in one breath. He also did the same thing when he ate the garbage that he disliked in the past, eating it fast and fiercely.
But this time, because it was a delicacy that he had tried every means to obtain, No. 1666 ate it only a little bit at a time. The dried fish was very crispy, and the meat was very fragrant without a trace of fishy smell. Because it had become crumbs, there was not much weird smell in it, but it was unexpectedly intriguing.
1666 tasted the dried fish happily. Although he noticed that the strange aura in the dried fish was free of impurities, he did not think much about it.
Unlike other monsters, the garbage can monsters eat everything that is thrown into the garbage can. The food they eat is never free of impurities, it's just the amount that matters. They don't realize how rare it is to have no impurities.
1666 was enjoying his meal when he suddenly received a notification that a courier he had previously delivered needed to be returned and asked him to pick it up quickly.
Normally couriers would get mad if they received work notifications while eating, not to mention the weirdness. 1666 clicked on the notification gloomily, wanting to see which buyer wanted to return the goods. Although he couldn't do anything to the buyer while working due to the contract, he would have a way as soon as it was over.
Generally speaking, Trash Can Weird isn’t a big brainiac, they can get by just standing there, but this job notice really annoyed him.
Seeing the address on the notice, 1666 remembered that this was the first buyer who gave him packing bags. If it weren’t for him, he would never have thought of using recycled packing bags to collect grilled dried fish.
1666's anger subsided a little, but the other party gave him such a small benefit that he could only tolerate it this once.
1666 teleported to the door of Chen Yan's residence, and felt another strange aura. The aura was very faint. The other party should be about to dissipate. It was a very weak and strange aura.
This weirdness, which seemed very weak in 1666's eyes, was extremely ferocious in front of Shen Yan.
Shen Yan didn't expect that her nightmare would actually come true. It was late at night when she finished her homework and was about to go to bed when she heard footsteps in the living room. She thought it was her mother, but she quickly remembered that her mother said she had to stay in the factory today and couldn't go home.
So what's in the living room?
Chen Yan listened carefully for a while and found that the footsteps were very light. It was only because it was too quiet in the middle of the night that they seemed a little obvious, but the weight of the footsteps was the same, as if they were searching in the living room. Chen Yan walked through the crack in the door and found a strange creature that was completely black and almost unrecognizable.
The other party's perception ability seemed to be not very good, but his actions were not slow. He was searching everywhere in the living room, as if he was looking for someone. Soon, he found the kitchen from the living room. Through the crack in the door, Shen Yan saw that the weird thing had eaten the live chicken in the kitchen, and its body seemed to be more solid.
Chen Yan quickly sent a text message to the Shuguang Bureau for help, but she also knew that it would take time for the Shuguang Bureau's people to arrive. If they came slower, she would definitely not be able to escape at Guiyi's current speed, so she still had to save herself.
Shen Yan didn't dare to post messages in the group easily. After all, messages can easily cause panic, and too much panic may attract more weirdness.
What's more, she had been doing her homework for so long and didn't hear any noise outside. Maybe it was just that her family was unlucky and encountered something strange.
Chen Yan's guess was correct. For now, only her family had seen strange things. However, the old building had accumulated too many negative emotions. As long as this strange thing caused chaos, it would attract other strange things.
When Chen Yan saw the Yuegou app on her phone, she thought of the weirdness of the trash can and remembered the introduction of the weirdness of the trash can in the textbook: it can devour all creatures that enter the trash can and has a certain deterrent effect on general weirdness.
If she could call the trash can weird, would she be able to scare the other party? As for the consequences of doing so, Shen Yan couldn't take it into account for the time being.
Shen Yan directly pressed the return button, and the app prompted that a courier had been arranged to pick up the goods. Soon it prompted again that the courier had arrived at the door and asked her to take out the goods.
Shen Yan glanced at the weirdness that was searching the next bedroom and quickly planned her escape route. The only trouble was that she had locked the front door, so it would take her a moment to get out, which required her to be quick.
one two three……
Shen Yan rushed out suddenly, holding the dried fish to be returned tightly in her hand. She felt like she was going to turn into a gust of wind. Wei Yi might not be able to catch up with her, but the coolness coming from behind told her that Wei Yi's speed was not slow either.
Chen Yan turned the lock switch with one hand and pressed the door handle down with her palm. She rushed forward with her head against the door and felt a chill on her shoulder. Then she bumped into an iron trash can. The trash can was so hard and solid that Chen Yan's head was buzzing from the impact.
But fortunately, the coolness behind her disappeared. Shen Yan subconsciously hid behind the trash can and looked into the house. The originally ferocious face of the strange man became even more terrifying, and his facial features shifted, which made Shen Yan gasp.
Chen Yan had also watched other live broadcast rooms and seen some scary and weird things, but she only realized now that what you see in reality is different from what you see on the live broadcast screen. No wonder the country encourages everyone to watch some scary and weird things. Otherwise, if you really see something weird and get so scared that your whole body becomes stiff, it would be the end of you.
However, this monster was obviously also afraid of the trash can monster. It stood a little behind the entrance and did not rush over again. It just looked at Chen Yan with greedy eyes.
Obviously, as long as the trash can leaves, the other party will pounce on it.
After knowing the speed of this monster, Shen Yan knew that if the people from the Dawn Bureau had not arrived before the trash can monster left, she would definitely not be able to outrun it, and if she was caught, she would probably die.
At this point, the lid of the trash can is open, and obviously, returning the product only requires putting the product in it.
Chen Yan saw her phone flashing. It was a message from someone sent by the Dawn Bureau. They would be there in three minutes and asked Chen Yan to hold on.
For three minutes, Shen Yan looked at the weirdness in the house. If it weren't for the weirdness of the trash can, she might not have been able to hold on for even three seconds.
"Hello, do you have packing bags? I have to pack the goods before I can return them." Chen Yan asked slowly. If she wanted to delay time, she could only tamper with the return.
After a second, a packing bag floated out of the trash can. Shen Yan grabbed the bag and found that the bag was unexpectedly clean without any oil stains.
But only a dozen seconds have passed, and three minutes is 180 seconds, how can we delay it?
Shen Yan picked up the dried fish, took a deep breath, carefully unfolded the bag, and was about to put the dried fish in, but her movements froze. She hadn't thought of a way to delay time, so how come it was almost done?
Shen Yan didn't notice that the strange gazes in the room had shifted from her to her hands.
For the weirdness that was about to dissipate, the weird energy on the roasted dried fish was like a bright light in the dark night, extremely conspicuous. Although eating Chen Yan could also gain some energy, those energies could not be compared with the pure weird energy.
Even though there was a trash can monster standing by to intimidate it, the monster still couldn't control its desire and pounced over.
Chen Yan didn't expect that the monster would suddenly attack, so she could only dodge to the side. However, she dodged too hastily and her feet slipped. Chen Yan subconsciously grabbed something beside her to support her body, and this time she managed to avoid the monster.
But before Shen Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that she was clawing at the trash can strangely, and her fingers had already reached into the trash can.
Shen Yan's mind went blank, and she retracted her hand like lightning. She thought her finger had been strangely eaten by the trash can, but she found that her finger was intact, but the dried fish in her hand seemed to have fallen in.
Realizing that she might have completed the return, the trash can was strangely leaving and could not protect her, Shen Yan turned and ran, even though she knew she could not outrun the strange, but what if? What miracle could be created?
Every second she could live was a second she tried hard to delay time. Shen Yan believed that the staff of the Shuguang Bureau were also rushing to rescue her.
There was a sharp howl from behind, but the sound stopped abruptly with a bang.
Chen Yan recognized the bang as the lid of a trash can closing, but the previous sound... seemed to be a weird howl.
Chen Yan couldn't help but look back, and saw an arm trapped by the lid of the trash can. The hand exposed outside was tightly grasping the dried fish, as if struggling, but the hand was still shrinking into the trash can little by little, like a mouse bitten by a snake, being swallowed bit by bit.
Shen Yan was still in shock, but when she saw the bag of dried fish, she didn't know where she got the courage from, she wanted to go over and take it down.
As soon as she moved, the strange swallowing speed of the trash can increased, and soon the dried fish reached the edge of the lid.
“I’m not returning the goods.” Shen Yan shouted loudly, and then she saw the lid of the barrel clamped the dried fish hard, clamped off a large piece of dried fish, and then closed the lid tightly.
Looking at the one-third of the grilled fish that had been taken away, Shen Yan picked up the grilled fish that had fallen on the ground, feeling a little complicated. Why did she feel that the trash can was weird and was deliberately biting off a large piece of her grilled fish?
Seeing the trash can flash strangely, Shen Yan quickly shouted: "Take this recycling bag back."
The lid of the bucket opened, and Shen Yan quickly threw the recycling bag in.
Seeing the trash can disappear mysteriously, Shen Yan didn't dare to go back to the house, but she was a little scared to stay in the corridor. After hesitating for a while, she went back to the house and called the Shuguang Bureau to inform them of the situation.
Less than a minute later, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Shen Yan looked through the peephole and saw that it was the uniform of the Shuguang Bureau. She breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed the person in.
"Captain, the strange energy exceeds the standard. It is a D-level strangeness, but it seems to be dissipating quickly. The danger level is not too high." A team member checked around with an instrument and whispered.
"Use the gourd to absorb the strange energy." The captain ordered, "Also check the situation of this building and clean up the negative energy."
After giving the order, the captain looked at Shen Yan.
"Student Shen..., you just said that the trash can monster helped you eat the monster. Are you sure that the monster didn't run away?"
The captain tried to slow down his attitude, but his tone was still a little sharp. After all, it would be too dangerous to let a weirdo hide. They couldn't believe Shen Yan's one-sided words.
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. If she wanted to say that she was completely sure, she actually didn't dare to confirm it. After all, she was running away at the time. When she heard the sound and turned around, she saw the strange arm caught in the trash can.
The captain understood and said, "If you are not sure, then recall what happened just now again and tell it in detail. Don't miss anything."
Shen Yan nodded, remembering everything from when she discovered something was wrong, to when she ran away, to when she hid by holding onto the trash can, to when she saw the strange arm, and finally when the trash can strangely took away a large piece of grilled dried fish.
The captain's eyes flickered. Shen Yan's previous experience was nothing special until she put her finger into the trash can and it was not swallowed. Then things started to get strange.
"You mean, you dropped the dried fish into the trash can."
"right."
"That tricky hand is also holding a roasted fish?"
"right."
"Captain, this building needs a thorough cleaning, otherwise it will soon attract weird things again." The team member who went out for inspection came back, glanced at Chen Yan, did not avoid her, took out a form and handed it to the captain.
"Okay, go write me an application form and I'll sign it." The captain looked at the record sheet and nodded.
Chen Yan showed a surprised expression. You know, it costs a lot of money to do a thorough cleaning of a building. Either you have to find someone to clean it yourself, or the government arranges for them to come in turns. If you have to follow the list, their building still has a queue. If they can clean it in advance now, it will be much safer.
The team members saw Chen Yan's smiling face and looked down at the value on the detector. The positive emotional energy was slightly improved. This was the energy that only Chen Yan knew about this. If the whole building knew about it, the improvement would be even greater.
"Student Shen, do you know anything about this grilled dried fish?" the captain continued to ask.
Speaking of this, Chen Yan started to talk more and immediately started talking about Ying Yuanxing's fishing and selling fish, as well as how the fish and forage grass were selling well.
"This roasted dried fish might be very attractive to the weirdo." Shen Yan said seriously, and suddenly remembered a detail, "Wait, I remember that the weirdo seemed to be pouncing on me at that time, but when the roasted dried fish fell into the trash can, the weirdo followed it in."
This was a fleeting glimpse she caught when she was escaping. If it weren't for the short time interval and her high intensity of recalling, she would have forgotten about it.
To be honest, if the monster hadn't rushed into the trash can, Shen Yan felt that the trash can monster probably wouldn't be able to swallow the monster.
"Student Shen, I'm afraid we need to take this grilled dried fish back for testing. So, we will give you the price of this grilled dried fish." The captain stared at the grilled dried fish thoughtfully, and after a while he raised his head and looked at Shen Yan.
"No, no, just take it if you want." Chen Yan waved her hands repeatedly. Although she was reluctant, she also knew that there might be some secret in the roasted dried fish. Maybe this secret could help them humans.
Besides, the Dawn Bureau rushed over to protect her and also offered to do free cleaning for the entire building, so she didn't feel comfortable taking their money.
Chen Yan didn't want it, but the captain insisted. When the captain said that not giving it would be a violation of discipline, Chen Yan still gave in and told him the price of ten strange coins.
Not long after the people from the Dawn Bureau left, Shen Yan discovered that twenty Gui coins had been transferred to her Yuegou account.
Chen Yan immediately called to inquire, and the other party said that it was because the grilled dried fish was sold out. The Dawn Bureau stipulated that buying such goods from ordinary people was an expedited purchase. If the price was lower than fifty strange coins, they would pay double the price.
Chen Yan hung up the phone and sighed silently. At the same time, she felt warm in her heart. She lay on the bed and thought she would not be able to sleep, but she fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up, she was awakened by the cheers outside the house. Fortunately, because of her good sleep quality, she didn't have a headache.
After listening for a while, Shen Yan realized that the government department had notified her and said that they would do a thorough cleaning of the entire building. Of course, she also told them about the strange things that happened yesterday. This had to be said, otherwise it would easily spread online and form rumors that the government was unfair.
After receiving these two pieces of news, the residents of the old building were shocked at first. After all, except Chen Yan, no one knew that something strange had happened last night. Then they were thankful. After all, the strange thing had not caused any death, so they were lucky.
Doing a thorough cleaning of the entire building will relieve all residents of their worries. Otherwise, many people will have to move out, and even the housing prices of old buildings will have to drop again. After all, the appearance of strange things means that the environment of the old building is very poor.
Now, as long as a thorough cleaning is done, the housing prices of old buildings may go up again. Even if the houses may not be sold, who would not be happy with high housing prices?
After listening to the laughter outside the house for a while, Chen Yan felt much more relaxed. She opened the Yuegou app and saw that Ying Yuanxing had put some grilled dried fish samples on the shelves. Without thinking too much, she quickly clicked to buy and spent all the thirty ghost coins in her account.
Before the release, Chen Yan bought the grilled dried fish out of curiosity and also because she wanted to take care of Ying Yuanxing's business. But now she bought the grilled dried fish because she felt that it could save lives.
If you can call over the trash can monster and use roasted dried fish as bait, as long as you seize the opportunity, you might be able to get the trash can monster to help devour other monsters.
Even if I can't, considering the monster's enthusiasm for grilled fish yesterday, throwing out the grilled fish can give myself more time to escape.
Chen Yan has watched other live broadcasts. The cheapest strange objects with similar functions cost hundreds of dollars, and the effectiveness is still hard to say. Grilled dried fish only costs ten strange coins. Where can you find such a good product?
