53 Haunted Apartment 17
◎ False accusation ◎
Sang Mian's heart skipped a beat. The side quest was not explained clearly. Why did the Weird Management Bureau come to the Haunted Apartment? They also wanted the players to cooperate in the investigation. Could it be that a weird person had committed a crime?
A strong feeling of sadness came over me.
At the same time, Lin Buchi walked out of the room. When he saw Sang Mian, he said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. I heard that the Weird Management Bureau is coming, so I came here to remind you to be careful."
Sang Mian's mouth twitched: "Then why didn't you say it yesterday?"
Lin Buchi touched the tip of his nose. He wanted to say something, but Sang Mian didn't give him a chance.
"The Weird Management Bureau shouldn't have appeared in the game instance. You players just happened to be there. According to inside information, the landlord of the Haunted Apartment has committed a crime. The Weird Management Bureau will take him away for detention after the investigation."
Lin Buchi's expression became serious: "The Weird Management Bureau is very sensitive to weirdness, you must pay more attention and never reveal your identity as a player."
"Cough cough cough!! Cough cough cough!" Xia Qing almost choked on the bun when she heard this. She widened her eyes and said, "What! So unlucky! Is the Weird Management Bureau deliberately testing us?"
Lin Buchi replied: "Human flesh and blood are always the sweetest. All the weird things will try their best to find humans."
When he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Sang Mian, and sure enough, Sang Mian had a constipated expression.
Lin Buchi coughed twice and said, "Don't be afraid. It's not difficult. Just be careful."
In fact, Sang Mian is not afraid. Her goal is to buy a haunted apartment and become a landlord to get an extra 10 points of weirdness. If the landlord is caught, won’t her plan be ruined?
She asked cautiously, "Is the crime committed by the landlord serious?"
Lin Buchi: "It is said to be quite big. Why are you asking this?"
Sang Mian said seriously: "If I can help him get rid of the crime, will he sell me the haunted apartment to thank me?"
Help the landlord escape punishment? Lin Buchi began to doubt his ears again. The Weird Management Bureau was the most powerful entity in the Underworld. It was simply a fantasy to escape punishment from them. He subconsciously said, "Are you serious?"
She would do anything for the Weirdness Points. Sang Mian nodded: "The Weirdness Management Bureau needs to investigate. It won't be enough if we just give the management bureau the wrong guidance."
Xia Qingxing's eyes were full of stars: "Sister Sang is simply a genius!"
Lin Buchi poured cold water on her mercilessly: "Do you think the Weird Management Bureau is just there to do nothing? It's the most authoritative organization in the Underworld, and the weirdos in it are as smart as monkeys."
He added: "As long as they come here, they will definitely have evidence of the landlord's crime. Asking the players to cooperate with the investigation is just a formality. The clues you provide cannot mislead them at all."
Sang Mian touched his chin seriously. Is he really going to give up the haunted apartment?
No, maybe there is still a chance. She suddenly thought of a good idea. Sang Mian hooked her finger and said, "Xiao Qing, help me with something later."

A black car came down the building of the Haunted Apartment, and a strange man in a white sweatshirt got out of the car. He rolled up his sleeves a few times and narrowed his narrow eyes. The Haunted Apartment is a lucrative job, and if you are lucky you can have a good meal.
With a light and cheerful pace, he walked into the haunted apartment. As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw many strange people standing in the hall.
"You are the one sent by the Weird Management Bureau, right?"
The woman in a white dress and long hair asked strangely.
The girl in the white sweatshirt nodded strangely. He didn't know why, but even though her attitude was good and her tone was fine, he always felt a chill.
A quick glance at the number of weirdos in the hall revealed that almost all the tenants and rent collectors had arrived, and their eyes were not as respectful as those of ordinary weirdos, but instead held a hint of inexplicable meaning.
Like gloating? The weirdo in the white sweater frowned subconsciously. How could it be possible? He was sent by the Weird Management Bureau. These weirdos with no status only respected him. Otherwise, why would they come to greet him?
Qin Miao smoothed her long hair by her ears and grinned, so wide that her mouth almost reached behind her ears.
"We will definitely cooperate with the investigation. Please ask."
The man in the white sweater took out his ID from the Weird Management Bureau and handed it to Qin Miao as a matter of routine: "My name is Cheng Ge, and I am one of the supervisors of the Weird Management Bureau. The landlord of the Ghost Apartment is suspected of illegally occupying other people's property. He will be arrested after the investigation."
"What! You mean the haunted apartment is not the landlord's house!?" Xia Qing shouted in shock, completely forgetting that there was a dangerous monster in front of him.
No wonder the landlord refused to agree when Sister Sang wanted to buy the apartment, because he was not the owner of the Haunted Apartment at all! Xia Qing's heart was alarmed. If the landlord was fake, then Sister Sang's plan would fail!
Cheng Ge has worked in the Weird Management Bureau for many years and is very sensitive to humans. The person who just spoke has a weirdness value of only 12 points, and there is no weird feature on her body. Moreover, she seems to care a lot about this matter, and normal weirdness is none of her business.
Cheng Ge curled his lips and moved his wrist. There was a conspicuous scar on his left wrist, like a twisted centipede crawling around his wrist.
"Is this the rent collector?" He stared at Xia Qing and spoke slowly.
Xia Qing instantly got goose bumps all over her arms. She could feel the strong strange aura emanating from the man. It was very strong. She gritted her teeth and replied, "So what if it is."
Cheng Ge walked closer to her step by step. He took out the landlord's file and asked, "Has the landlord done anything unusual in the past two days?"
Xia Qing took two steps back. The suppression of her strange energy made her unable to speak.
"Why don't you speak?" Cheng Ge twisted his left hand, and the next second his hand fell to the ground.
Xia Qing's head exploded instantly. The flesh on the face of the supervisor in front of him began to rot piece by piece at some point, and the dark red flesh rolled around, looking just like a ghost in a horror movie.
The scream was stuck in her throat and she almost cried out. Someone in the crowd pulled her and the tenants surrounded her. Qin Miao squeezed in front of Cheng Ge and said, "The landlord is on the eighth floor. Do you want to see him now?"
Cheng Ge was very unhappy. He was almost certain that the girl was a human, but why did all these tenants protect her? Couldn't they see it? It was really strange.
"Take me to see the landlord." Cheng Ge picked up his hand and said coldly. There was plenty of time anyway. He would come back to find humans after finishing his business.

On the eighth floor, the landlord's door was rarely locked, so Sang Mian pushed it lightly and it opened.
The landlord was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. When he heard the sound of the door, he opened his eyes in confusion.
"Good morning, Mr. Landlord." Sang Mian smiled and greeted him in a friendly manner.
The landlord opened his eyes angrily and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Don't get excited. Look at you. You need to rest." Sang Mian soothed him, "I came here to tell you that the Weird Management Bureau is here."
Landlord: "What does it have to do with me?" Before he finished speaking, his beard trembled: "What did you say? The Weird Management Bureau?"
Sang Mian nodded: "Yes, I came here especially for you."
The landlord was frightened and he immediately got up from the bed. Because he was beaten so badly yesterday, he groaned in pain when he got out of bed.
After seeing the landlord's actions, Sang Mian grabbed his arm and said sincerely: "I am willing to endure such pain for you, please sell the haunted apartment to me!"
The landlord looked as if he had seen a ghost. "You still want a haunted apartment after all this?"
Sang Mian became more certain: "You know, I love the haunted apartment very much!"
The landlord responded straightforwardly: "I don't want your money, I'll give you the apartment! Now I want to get out!"
Sang Mian: "Is there no procedure for transferring the house?"
The landlord waved his hand and walked out: "No, the haunted apartment is yours!"
Sang Mian scratched her head. Why did she feel something was wrong? Just like when she became the president of Spark Entertainment and the director of the Third Weird Hospital, the system would immediately announce it. Why didn't the system say anything this time? Didn't being a landlord give her any extra Weird Qi points?
"Wait!" Sang Mian stopped the landlord who was about to leave. The Weird Management Bureau must be very powerful, so special measures must be used in special times. Her beautiful brown eyes flashed, "Brother landlord, I have helped you bear all the dangers, shouldn't you help me?"
The landlord paused and smiled with a forced smile: "You must be joking. I don't have the ability to help you. I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble."
Sang Mian supported her chin with a bright smile: "It's not a problem, not a problem at all, just lend me your body."
The landlord immediately got goosebumps all over his body. "Fuck! What are you going to do to me?"
Sang Mian pointed at the bed in the room and said in an evil tone: "Climb onto the bed and lie down obediently."
Landlord: “?” Do players nowadays play like this?
At the same time, Cheng Ge was squeezed in the elevator with a group of tenants. He had a grim expression on his face. For some reason, these tenants insisted on following him to the eighth floor, and they were squeezing into the elevator like crazy.
After reaching the eighth floor, he squeezed out of the elevator, and his white sweatshirt was stained with red spots at some point.
His face suddenly turned black. It turned out to be the bloodstain from the monster that had just stuck to him. Blood was constantly flowing out of the monster's mouth, dripping from it and staining his front red. In the crowded elevator, the blood even rubbed onto his clothes.
Cheng Ge turned around and left angrily, and Qin Miao shouted from behind: "The landlord's room is the last one!"
Although he was angry, he still knocked on the door first like a gentleman.
A delicate voice came from the room: "Who is it?"
Cheng Ge's tone was as cold as ice: "Weird Management Bureau."
The woman in the room said "oh" in a long tone, and then she asked: "Do you want to come in?"
This is not nonsense! Cheng Ge felt that his patience was being consumed bit by bit, and he said: "The landlord can come out by himself."
The girls in the room giggled: "She doesn't want to come out."
Cheng Ge: "...Then I'll go in."
Female voice: "This is so bad."
Cheng Ge had a question mark on his forehead. What was wrong with that? He was here to catch the weirdos and do his job impartially.
Sang Mian stood behind the door and said sincerely: "Why don't you come back in two days? It's not convenient today." Because the copy will end in two days, the players will all go back, and the Weird Management Bureau will not be able to threaten them.
This was the first time Cheng Ge had heard such an unreasonable request. Who did she think she was? Just leave when she said so? Was the Weird Management Bureau going to save its reputation? Was it going to save its dignity and prestige?
So he refused righteously and warned her sternly: "Miss, if you don't open the door, I will use force."
"Okay, open the door if you want." Sang Mian sighed, "This is your own choice, you have to bear the consequences yourself."
The double doors of the room slowly opened. Sang Mian stood in the room and looked at the man. When she saw that he was covered in blood, she nodded with satisfaction. This guy was quite handsome, but his face looked bad, as ugly as if he had eaten a bowl of flies. However, his weirdness value was quite high, at the evil spirit level of 65 points.
Cheng Ge asked: "Is the landlord in the room?"
Sang Mian smiled and said, "May I ask what you want from me?"
"Are you the landlord of the haunted apartment?" Cheng Ge couldn't believe it. The information he received was clearly about a man, so how did it become a woman?
The man and the ghost met each other's eyes. He saw that the girl's ghost energy value was 44 points, which was very low for a landlord of an apartment. She couldn't even beat the tenant.
Cheng Ge immediately thought of the crime of harboring someone. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did you become the landlord of the Haunted Apartment?"
"Just now, do you want to rent a house? To celebrate my taking office, I'll give you a 30% discount!" Sang Mian enthusiastically pointed to seven with his fingers.
Cheng Ge tilted his head and looked into the room. As a qualified supervisor, he keenly noticed the loophole in the girl's words and knew that the suspect must still be in the room.
Cheng Ge snorted coldly. The strange girl in front of him looked weak, fair-skinned and beautiful. He didn't expect that she could commit such a crime as harboring someone. "Do you know the seriousness of the crime of harboring someone? I advise you to hand the person over immediately!"
Sang Mian covered her mouth and screamed at the top of her lungs: "Sheltering! Sheltering what? I dare not do such a thing!"
Cheng Ge said he didn't believe it. He had already seen the shape of a person under the quilt on the bed: "Then let me go in and search!"
Sang Mian put down her hand and looked at him steadily: "Are you sure?"
Cheng Ge asked back: "You don't dare to let me in?"
Sang Mian didn't say much. She moved aside and opened the door to the room: "Come in."
There was a faint smell of blood in the room. Cheng Ge walked in with a frown. He saw dried reddish-brown bloodstains on the ground. He was about to ask what happened here when the door was closed with a bang.
"Why did you close the door!" Cheng Ge's heart skipped a beat. The uneasiness she felt when she first entered the haunted apartment came back to her mind. From time to time, a man's moans could be heard from the room.
Sang Mian, who had a simple look on her face just now, changed her expression. She crossed her arms and smiled, "That's enough. You can go back and report."
Cheng Ge was confused: "What destiny?"
Sang Mian: "The landlord of the haunted apartment has not been found."
Cheng Ge looked at the bed in the room. The landlord, wearing a ragged windbreaker and a mustache, was lying on it. "What nonsense are you talking about? He is right there."
Sang Mian said seriously: "This is the most beneficial action for you at the moment."
