50 Haunted Apartment 14
◎Chasing stars◎
When the players heard the word "lunch", they swallowed unconsciously. They hadn't eaten anything since last night and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
Sang Mian glanced at the time. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. If Miaomiao hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten to eat. She walked to Qin Miao and said with emotion: "It's great to have you."
Qin Miao smiled sheepishly: "It's all my duty. Miss Sang has helped me much more than this."
Situ Mingliang's eyes were full of envy. He also wanted to have a weird friend! At least he wouldn't be hungry at this time.
There was a round table in the lobby on the first floor of the Ghost Apartment. Qin Miao placed the meal on the table. After opening the lid, a burst of fragrance wafted to her face.
Xia Qing blinked her eyes, "It's pickled fish!" She was immersed in the horror of the tenant in Room 102 just now, but now she immediately forgot about it when she saw the delicious food. She looked at Sang Mian expectantly, "Sister Sang, can I have some?"
Before Sang Mian could speak, Qin Miao took out three meals and said, "Ms. Sang's friends are my friends! I have prepared everything for you."
Xia Qing jumped up with joy, "Sister Sang, I love you so much!"
Bai Tang smiled shyly: "Thank you."
Before eating, Xia Qing put her hands together and made a prayer gesture, mumbling something. Bai Tang curiously leaned in to listen to what she was saying, and then she heard Xia Qing say, "I follow Sister Sang and eat nine meals a day. Thank you Sister Sang for letting me have a wonderful lunch. Sister Sang is invincible!"
Bai Tang: “…” That makes sense.
Sang Mian said to Qin Miao while eating: "You must tell me how much money you have spent these days, and I will give you the money. I have a lot of money."
The other players were drooling with greed. Zhuang Feng couldn't help it. Although he was very afraid of Qin Miao, he mustered up the courage to say, "Sang Mian, can you bring me a portion next time you buy food? I'll pay for it!"
Yan Xingyu raised his left hand: "And me, please bring one for me too!"
Other players also expressed their desire to eat.
Situ Mingliang thought with a cold face, what a bunch of spineless people, he would not bow down for a few pieces of silver.
Sang Mian waved her hand: "Okay, okay, we are all teammates, let me take care of this little thing." She looked at Situ Mingliang, the only one who didn't raise his hand: "Mingliang, do you need to bring food?"
Situ Mingliang: "It is very necessary. Thank you very much."
The biggest problem on the first floor, tenant 102, had been solved. As for the remaining tenants, Sang Mian used the simplest and most brutal method, dragging them out and having them beaten up by Qin Miao. After the beating, they paid the money one by one, more delighted than the other.
The corridor on the first floor was instantly filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves. Some of the weirdos who were unwilling to pay were grabbed by the hair and slapped wildly by Qin Miao. They usually could not hold out for more than three minutes before having to pay the rent. Only one male weirdo with a weirdness value of 45 points lasted a full half hour. His cheeks were beaten like a pig's head. Even Xia Qing joined in the fun and kicked him twice.
Situ Mingliang has become numb to collecting money, and his role now is to keep accounts and save money. You know, he used to be the central figure in the game, but there came a day when he was led astray by others.
Sang Mian was in a good mood and humming a little tune. At this rate, he would be able to collect the rent soon.
She tilted her head and asked Qin Miao: "Are there any other tough guys in the Haunted Apartment?"
Qin Miao thought for a moment and said, "202 is also a difficult character. I heard that he is the ex-boyfriend of the tenant of 102."
No wonder the tenants of Room 102 were unwilling to accept the new landlord. Sang Mian immediately understood that her ex-boyfriend lived upstairs and no one could get out. The apartment was old and shabby, and the sound insulation was poor. Maybe the two of them talked to each other through the wall every day.
She suddenly felt a little pity for the landlord. It seemed that he was destined to live out his life alone.
When passing by 102, Xia Qing suddenly stopped and stopped moving.
Sang Mian looked back and saw Xia Qing's ear pressed against the door of Room 102, listening intently.
"What are you listening to?"
Xia Qing made a silent gesture with a serious expression. She pointed at the door and whispered, "She's on the phone."
Looking at Xia Qing's expression, they knew something was wrong with the call, and everyone shut up.
After a while, Xia Qing left the door of tenant 102 with a serious expression. She took a deep breath and said, "The landlord is in danger."
"Impossible! I personally sent the landlord back to the room." Zhuang Feng hurriedly denied.
Sang Mian: "Tell us what you heard first."
Xia Qing said: "The tenant of 102 just called her ex and said that the landlord insulted her. From what I heard on the phone, she wanted to take action against the landlord."
"No!" Sang Mian was anxious. She hadn't bought the Haunted Apartment yet. If the landlord was beaten to death, no one would sell it to her! So she had to save the landlord.
Thinking of this, she ran into the elevator like a rabbit, determined to move the landlord away before anything happened to him.
When she rushed to the eighth floor, she saw the landlord lying in a spread-eagle position at the elevator entrance with many wounds all over his body.
Sang Mian yelled, "Brother landlord!"
She was still a step too late. The landlord's brother was murdered. Sang Mian was extremely sad. She covered her face and cried bitterly. She was not crying for the landlord, but for her own strange energy value. All 10 points of strange energy value were gone just like that.
The landlord, who was lying on the ground, was so frightened by the sudden noise that he trembled all over. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Miss Sang crying. Why was she crying so miserably? He was the one who should be crying!
With tears in her eyes, Sang Mian saw that the landlord had moved. She quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Landlord, you are not dead!"
The landlord's bones ached, and his mustache drooped down, "Are you crying for me?"
“No.” Sang Mian was very honest: “If you die, you won’t be able to sell the apartment to me.”
Landlord: “…” I instantly wanted to die.
But soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he propped up his upper body: "Do you know why I didn't die?"
Sang Mian shook his head: "Because you have good physical fitness?"
"I told the tenants of Room 202 that you were the one who made me confess my feelings." He chuckled, "You are finished, he will definitely kill you, tonight is the day you die!"
When he got excited, the landlord coughed up blood from his throat. His expression was still crazy. "I want to watch you die with my own eyes!"
At the same time, the system issues a reminder for side quests.
[Side Quest: 202 tenants are dissatisfied with the rent collector's behavior and decide to retaliate. Please try to survive until 8 o'clock the next morning]
[Side quest reward: 40 million ghost coins]
[Penalty for failure: Death]
Sang Mian looked at the landlord with a complicated expression. It seemed that the landlord really hated her. She took out her cell phone. It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still fourteen hours until eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
"Brother landlord, you really make me feel disappointed. I even wanted to save you."
Looking at Sang Mian's sad look, those who didn't know the whole story would definitely think that the landlord had done something wrong to her.
The landlord felt such disgust at her expression that his throat kept churning that he vomited it out.
Sang Mian dodged the filth, she turned on the other side and called Xia Qing, the call was connected in seconds.
"Did you receive the side quest?"
Xia Qing's tone was about to cry, "Sister Sang, have you also received the side quest? Sister Tangtang and I just received it too."
"What about the others? Didn't they receive it?"
Xia Qing said: "They didn't have any, only the three of us received it."
Sang Mian understood. It seemed that the landlord and the tenant of Room 202 focused on the three of them.
Xia Qing: "What should we do? Will we die here?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sang Mian scolded, "When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will cover it with earth. Just find a way to avoid it."
She was very curious about one thing about the tenant of Room 202. They had broken up for more than a year, but when he heard that his ex-girlfriend was being bullied, he actually stood up for her. If they loved each other so much, why did they need to break up?
Perhaps this is the breakthrough for the side quest.
"Xiaoqing, is Qin Miao with you?"
Xia Qing: "Yes."
Sang Mian: "Give her the phone."
Qin Miao's voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Miss Sang, are you in trouble?"
"I guess so." Sang Mian told Qin Miao all his doubts: "I want to know the reason why the tenants of 102 and 202 broke up."
Qin Miao was silent for a while. "It seems that her boyfriend is too star-chasing. He sleeps with a picture of his goddess every day. Because of this, they have quarreled many times. I remember the worst time they almost blew up the apartment."
Three black lines flashed across Sang Mian's forehead: "So simple? Just because of chasing stars?"
Qin Miao said in an exaggerated tone: "I heard that his boyfriend spent all his money on female celebrities, causing the two of them to not even have enough to eat for a while! This was the last straw that broke the camel's back."
Sang Mian finally understood where Xinghuo Entertainment's huge income came from. It turned out that the fans of Wujianjie were even more crazy and even gave up their girlfriends in order to chase their idol.
Suddenly, she had an idea. The actress that the tenant of Room 202 was chasing after might be an artist from her own company. If she helped him to chase her star successfully, he would definitely pay the rent obediently!
"Miao Miao, do you know who the actress he's chasing after is?"
"I really know." Qin Miao recalled the past: "That day they had a quarrel, and the tenant of room 102 threw out the actress pillow. The pattern on the pillow was the most popular actress in the world of hell - An Mei."
Qin Miao couldn't help but sigh as she was speaking excitedly: "That boy really has good taste. Miss An Mei is incomparably beautiful. Let alone him, I also like Miss An Mei. She is like a beautiful rose. Once you have seen her weirdness, you will never forget it for a long time."
Sang Mian’s thoughts were no longer on the phone. She only remembered two words - An Mei.
