Chapter 68
It was time to go to work. Ji Yile was still thinking about Apia Liangfeng while drinking coffee and walking back to his office.
Zhong Wenxu looked at Ji Yile's messy hair and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep?"
Ji Yile shook his head and said, "I'm studying all the strange things in the world."
"For example?" Zhong Wenxu was curious.
"For example, an air conditioner that doesn't use electricity." Ji Yile said seriously.
Zhong Wenxu sighed and kindly suggested, "Why don't you take a rest?"
Ji Yile shook his head, "I still have to continue the survey today. There are property management companies to help in several communities. However, there are some places without property management companies, so I have to go there in person."
Zhong Wenxu was a little worried, "You are in this state..."
This morning, Ji Yile first went to the remaining residential areas with property management. After explaining everything to the property management, he also joined the residents of these properties.
He looked at his chat app, which was filled with groups of residents from various communities, and his expression was a little stiff.
It feels like work has invaded my life.
He then went to register elsewhere.
Perhaps because a lot of things have happened recently, the residents of Area A have already known the newcomer Ji Yile.
Unless you are not at home, when Ji Yile comes to your home, you will generally open the door and cooperate with the registration.
What shocked Ji Yile was that there were really few humans in Area A. Probably, the previous [Gao Shang Shui Cheng] community had the most humans.
"Humans? Ha! They usually live over there!" A strange resident heard Ji Yile's question and pointed to a place.
That was the direction he went to for special training last time. "Where is that? I didn't see any houses when I passed by before."
The strange resident rolled his eyes, "Of course. They are humans who are protected by the palace, and they are usually hidden and cannot be seen."
Ji Yile was a little embarrassed, "Okay, thank you for the news."
This strange guy seemed very enthusiastic and told him how to get there. However, Ji Yile felt something was wrong. It was probably the influence of the [Scavenger] on him.
Ji Yile immediately asked his colleagues in the department, are there really many people living at the foot of the mountain of Green Pavilion?
Lan Xin immediately replied: How did you know?
Ji Yile quickly told him the information the strange resident had told him.
Lan Xin: You don’t have to worry about that. If you need any information, just ask the Green Pavilion.
Ji Yile: I thought so too. I always felt that the weird person was dishonest and had bad intentions. I was afraid that I was worrying too much, so I asked.
Lan Xin: Stay vigilant.
Ji Yile asked for information, and Xiahou Xin quickly sent all of it to Ji Yile.
Xiahou Xin: When I knew you were in charge of the census, I asked people to prepare. I kept waiting, but you only remembered me today.
Ji Yile felt a little embarrassed: I just found out about this.
Xiahou Xin: You're kidding! When will you come to train again?
Seeing this sentence, Ji Yile began to feel a dull pain. Later, he was beaten, and it really hurt.
Ji Yile immediately replied: This needs to be arranged.
Fearing that Xiahou Xin would continue asking, Ji Yile quickly said that he had to continue working.
No wonder when everyone knew he was going to special training, they all looked like they were blessing him.
However, Xiahou Xin is really amazing.
The census work has entered the mid-term stage, and Ji Yile's current progress is acceptable.
He didn't expect that Area A, which was known to have a sparse population, extremely vicious locals, and was chaotic and dangerous, actually had a lot of residents.
According to the data from the various communities that were constantly sending him information, as well as the data provided to him by Xiahou Xin, there were about 100,000 residents in total. Of course, humans only accounted for about 20%.
Try your best to input the information, verify it in the system first, and then input it. Occasionally, Ji Yile will call for spot checks.
When he encountered unclear information, he also called to verify.
If it is still impossible to obtain accurate information through the above methods, Ji Yile will have to go to the door.
There is a weird thing, he always has three properties. The property management of three communities sent his information to Ji Yile at the same time.
Ji Yile took a look and found it strange that the information submitted by the three communities was different.
It's normal to have different addresses, but it's too much to have different genders!
He first called the property management office to verify, but the staff there complained, "This is how the owner filled out the information. They tried very hard to verify, but the owner was unwilling to cooperate and filled it out like this on purpose, so there was nothing they could do. Most importantly, several of the staff they sent out went to the owner's home and can't come back anymore."
“…”
That's how things became different.
"All your employees are missing?" Ji Yile confirmed again.
"Yes! All the colleagues who escaped back said so!" the property manager of [Feifan Mansion] said excitedly.
Ji Yile sighed, "Why didn't you tell me this at the beginning?"
Then he picked up his coat and prepared to go over.
The employee on the other side said shyly: "Actually, if you hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have remembered this matter."
This is even more serious.
Ji Yile and Zhong Wenxu immediately set off for [Feifan Mansion]. This community was a bit far from the security office, and it took them half an hour to drive there.
After we passed by, the staff of the property management office came out quickly and asked, "You guys came here so soon?"
The employee who received them was the one who had previously contacted Ji Yile by phone.
Ji Yile then said: "How many people have disappeared here? Can we drag it on?"
The employee was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said, "Look at my memory."
Zhong Wenxu's eyes rolled, and then he and Ji Yile walked away separately.
Ji Yile followed the employee into the room where the weirdness was, "It's here. This guy's job isn't very good either. He's in that industry. He usually distributes flyers everywhere and occasionally sends relevant messages to the owners' group. Many owners are complaining! After we kicked him out, he soon complained about us again, forcing us to add him back into the group."
"What industry?" Ji Yile didn't understand.
The employee at the property management office looked a little ambiguous, "That's it."
Ji Yile looked at the employee a few more times, and then when he saw the small card on the ground, he suddenly understood.
Then, Ji Yile was confused again.
"You saw this small card, why didn't you report it to me?"
The property management employee said again awkwardly: "It's not, I can't remember it!"
Ji Yile walked around on the ground for a few times, picked up his phone and took pictures continuously, and then Zhong Wenxu came back.
“I think what they say is probably true.”
"Huh?" Ji Yile stared at Zhong Wenxu in a daze.
Zhong Wenxu continued, "They should have all had their memories erased. No, not erased, but probably faded. As long as no one brings it up, they won't remember it."
Ji Yile was a little confused, "Will it be like this after we go in?"
Zhong Wenxu was also a little embarrassed, "Probably."
Afterwards, Ji Yile picked up his phone and sent the same message to several people.
After reading it, Zhong Wenxu gave a thumbs up and said, "Great!"
After a while, there was a message from a new friend on Ji Yile's chat app.
That was Tang Tian who came from Area C for exchange and study.
The next strange thing they encountered was probably something like mind control. In that case, they would find professionals to deal with it.
There is no need to meet in person, just send them messages from time to time and ask about their work progress.
"Hello, is Mr. Huang from Room 502 here?"
This weird guy is called Huang Sheng. At first, Ji Yile thought that the property management did not ask for his real name.
But no matter how much I shouted, no one paid any attention.
But the neighbor next door came out, an elegant lady with beautiful red hair and fashionable clothes. The lady was about to go out, holding her bag, and looked at them in confusion.
"Are you looking for room 502? No one lives here?"
Ji Yile was a little confused, "But the property management just asked him for the census information."
The lady in room 501 sneered, "This property management company is just taking money but not doing any work. They charge fees every day and let them take care of things, but they can't even handle shit properly."
Seeing this, the property management staff wanted to step forward and explain things to the lady.
Ji Yile quickly said: "Is there such a thing? You can tell us about it."
Room 501 immediately said, "People in this community often hand out cards." She saw the cards in Ji Yile's hand, and then pointed at them and said, "Yes, those are the ones in your hand."
Then, she said angrily, "We have complained hundreds of times, this property is rubbish, and no one has been found! The cards are sent out on time every day!"
Ji Yile then said: "Look at this address, is it familiar?"
Room 501 took the card, looked at it, and was stunned.
"This...how is it possible?" She pointed to Room 501 in disbelief. I could swear that no one lived in this room.
"Is there anyone coming to look for us?" Zhong Wenxu couldn't help but ask.
Room 501 recalled for a moment and said in confusion, "I can't remember clearly. But, there is really no one living here."
The property management employee quickly said, "There must be someone living there, you just don't know it. Look, this household's water and electricity bills are higher than yours!"
The lady in room 501 was shocked. "No, it's impossible! Neither I nor the other households knew anyone had lived here."
Ji Yile was also a little confused. "He refuses to open the door now. We have to think of a way."
Then he paused, and Ji Yile found that he couldn't remember why he was standing here.
Fortunately, his colleagues in the security department sent him a message.
The lady in room 501 patted her head and looked at them in confusion.
"What are you doing here? Hasn't the census been done?"
After Ji Yile and Zhong Wenxu experienced it personally, they felt that this Mr. Huang was very mysterious and his talents were very troublesome.
Patting the property management employee, Ji Yile said, "Let's go. It seems that there is no way to deal with this matter today unless we break in."
When they went down again, another resident from the 5th floor came in. They were also surprised to see Ji Yile, "A census?"
Ji Yile immediately said, "Yes! I came here specially to check and fill in the gaps."
