Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 432: Morning Corpse—Another One Appears

Time passed quickly.In the blink of an eye, it was 12:47 AM on the fifth day of the 29th round.

At this hour, the sky was pitch black.

Inside Room 904.

The Ultimate Rich Kid, Lin Feng, once again heard the abnormal sounds coming from outside his own door.

This time, he sat on his bedroom bed, using his phone to check the situation outside.

He discovered that yesterday's White Ghost Face Mask Person had come again.

And this time, the tool in his hand had been upgraded from a power drill to a chainsaw.

It was continuously buzzing away, 'doing homework' on his door.

Countless sparks flew out wildly.

Since this was already the third time.

Lin Feng couldn't be bothered with him anymore.

He simply put his phone aside, closed his eyes, and rested.

He couldn't get in anyway, and if he did get in, then he'd treat him to some peanuts.

Time arrived at 3:19 AM.

Jiang Ran inside Room 304.

Was awakened by a sound even louder than yesterday's early morning noise.

After being woken up, he went to his security door and used the screen inside the door to see the situation outside.

The person from yesterday was using what seemed to be a power drill, drilling into his door.

If it were Jiang Ran's old security door, it might have been drilled open.

But this ten-thousand-plus security door was resistant to power drills and chainsaws.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran first sent a message and made a call to the manager, Mao Li Zhishu.

Wanting him to bring the security team up to catch the person.

The result was the same as that day, the call wouldn't go through.

Jiang Ran simply called the police.

After reporting it, Jiang Ran waited by the door for the police to arrive.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Suddenly, the White Ghost Face Mask Person outside the door left.

Five minutes after he left, four police officers arrived and knocked on Jiang Ran's door.

They inquired about the incident.

Hearing that it was that White Ghost Face Mask Person again, all four officers frowned.

Because Jiang Ran was the assistant manager, he suggested to them that they should go check the surveillance footage right now.

The four police officers agreed, and they all went together to the first-floor Surveillance Room.

However, what was bizarre was that this time, the surveillance system seemed to be completely broken. Forget about footage of the ghost face mask person using a chainsaw to drill Jiang Ran's door.

Even the other surveillance videos were gone.

There was no other way. The four police officers could only tell Jiang Ran to call them again next time he discovered that person.

Afraid Jiang Ran might be in danger, the four officers waited until they had escorted Jiang Ran back to Room 304 before leaving Alice Apartment.

Back in Room 304, Jiang Ran couldn't sleep.

He kept thinking, where in the world could there be such a coincidence?

Leaving exactly five minutes before the police arrived.

And the surveillance system being damaged, with all surveillance videos gone?

"There's an accomplice, just like in that movie."

In the first *Scream* movie Jiang Ran watched, all the audience thought there was only one White Ghost Face Mask Person. No one expected that in the end, there were two, and they were accomplices.

Clearly, given the current situation, that White Ghost Face Mask Person definitely had an accomplice.

Otherwise, how could a single person manage to do so many things?

"You'd better not come again tomorrow morning."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the kind-hearted Jiang Ran.

...

Because of that damned White Ghost Face Mask Person last night, Jiang Ran couldn't get up at all in the morning.

He slept very deeply and soundly.

Because of this, a phone call around seven in the morning rang a full seven times.

Before it finally woke him up.

After waking up, Jiang Ran couldn't open his eyes at all. Relying entirely on muscle memory, he fumbled for his phone and swiped towards the green answer button.

The call connected, and the voice of the manager, Mao Li Zhishu, came through:

"Jiang Ran, where are you? Come down quickly and look, something's happened again!!"

"Something's happened again? Did someone die again?!"

Jiang Ran really couldn't take it anymore. Someone disturbing his sleep at night, and now someone disturbing him during the day.

Of course, the latter part of his sentence, 'did someone die again,' was purely said in anger.

"Huh? How did you know?"

"Indeed, another person has died."

This time, Jiang Ran scrambled out of bed in one go.

The nervous stimulation forced his tightly shut eyes to open wide.

He didn't care about anything else.

Wearing slippers, he ran all the way out of his home and down to the first floor.

Upon reaching the first floor, he discovered some people standing outside the apartment building.

Jiang Ran's heart was pounding wildly.

When he walked over and saw the corpse on the outer wall.

His mouth hung open wider than anyone else's.

On the beige apartment building wall, at about the height of the second floor.

A male corpse was hung upside down by a rope tied around its feet.

The other end was the same as yesterday's, attached to the rooftop at the very top.

This male looked to be in his thirties.

Completely naked.

According to this upside-down hanging method, this male corpse's hands should have been dangling down towards the ground.

But here, that wasn't the case. Instead, both hands, left and right, seemed to be fixed by something, the left hand pressing down on the right hand, both pressed together against the heart.

Then, his face was turned outward.

His eyelids were tightly closed over his eyes.

Here came the eerie part. His lips were curved into a crescent moon shape.

That is to say, a smile.

"It's pretty much the same as my earlier speculation. There should be a murderer in our apartment. These people hung on the wall every morning are his works, displayed for all of us to see."

Jiang Ran turned around and found it was that person who was always at the scene.

The Painter probably had good living habits, going to bed early and rising early. Otherwise, he couldn't be at the scene every time.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Everyone in our apartment is a law-abiding citizen. How could there be such a person?"

A bystander apartment resident refuted the Painter's words.

The Painter said, "Why are you so agitated? I wasn't talking about you."

These people chattered noisily.

Jiang Ran leaned close to the manager Mao Li Zhishu's ear and added, "Has this person's identity been confirmed? Should be a resident of our apartment too, right?"

Manager Mao Li Zhishu shook his head: "He's not a resident of our apartment."

Jiang Ran was stunned: "He's not? Then who is he?"

Manager Mao Li Zhishu: "He seems to be a friend of one of our apartment's residents. That resident let him stay here."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Ran's gaze returned to the corpse.

There was one point where he felt the Painter was right.

A corpse killed and arranged like this was a work the murderer considered his own.

Displayed for them to see.

As for whether it was that opera performer.

Jiang Ran really didn't think so anymore.

Although the place where the corpse was discovered was the same.

It could be a copycat killing.

Just like the White Ghost Face Mask Person who didn't sleep in the early morning hours, the one outside his door.

Jiang Ran sighed deeply.

Why was this apartment such a complete mess?

Jiang Ran felt that when he first moved into this apartment, although the danger warnings from the Danger Warning System in his head never stopped.

But back then, it didn't seem to have this much chaotic and messy stuff, right?

Even though he had indeed encountered danger.

But, during this period, people dying was one thing, but it being under such circumstances...

"Manager, don't you have anything to say about this?"

Jiang Ran looked at manager Mao Li Zhishu.

Manager Mao Li Zhishu said: "Say? What can I say?"

"We are all ordinary people. We can only leave the investigation of the murderer to the police."
