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

Chapter 444: The Murderous Bai Ze

For Jiang Ran now, it was about staying at Alice Apartment and accumulating 50 million points.Those alternate personalities were free, and he was free too.

What Jiang Ran didn't know was this.

When that day truly arrived, it would also be his own end.

Because he was also just an incomplete main personality. When that day came,

the two incomplete parts could merge back into one.

The truly complete version of the main personality would descend permanently.

...

Day 6 of the 29th round, a little past eight in the morning.

Jiang Ran returned to Alice Apartment.

Returning to Alice Apartment again today, everything inside the apartment seemed normal.

There was no repeat of the incident from a few days ago, where a man was found naked and hanged outside the building.

Walking into the apartment, he saw the apartment manager Mao Li Zhishu sitting in the management office.

Today, he was wearing a dark green suit.

He was hunched over the desk, intently reading a book.

Jiang Ran walked over quietly, wanting to see what book he was reading so seriously.

Jiang Ran guessed it was probably a suspense or detective novel.

After all, in Cherry Blossom Country, that genre of fiction was endlessly popular and incredibly hot.

But when he reached the open glass window and looked down,

he saw it wasn't a novel, but a manga.

A full-color manga, with text from Cherry Blossom Country.

Jiang Ran didn't recognize the words, but he could understand the pictures.

The page Mao Li Zhishu was staring at intently was covered in a sea of white flesh.

Jiang Ran felt like his eyes were about to get infected.

At that moment, Manager Mao Li Zhishu seemed to notice someone watching him. Looking up and seeing it was Jiang Ran,

he smiled at him. "Good morning, Jiang Ran."

Seeing Jiang Ran's gaze seemed to be on his manga, he immediately pulled another one out from the drawer beside him. "What? Interested in this kind of manga? I have an extra one here, take it to read."

Waving his hand to refuse, Jiang Ran shook his head. "No, no, I'm not interested in looking at this kind of stuff."

Manager Mao Li Zhishu put the manga back, saying, "That's really a shame. This kind of manga is actually quite good."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you."

Manager Mao Li Zhishu suddenly stood up, placing both hands on the desk. "You've probably seen the apartment building next to ours, right?"

Jiang Ran: "Yes, what about it?"

Manager Mao Li Zhishu: "That building is finished construction and will be fully decorated soon. After that, lots of new tenants will move in there."

"Therefore, from now on, our building here is Building No. 1, and that one over there is Building No. 2."

"I am the manager of Building No. 1, and you are the assistant manager of Building No. 1."

"This afternoon, the manager of Building No. 2 over there will come here to report. I'll call you down then so everyone can get acquainted."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Ran had always thought that even if the new building, Building No. 2, was finished, the manager would still only be Mao Li Zhishu.

He never expected another Building No. 2 manager to pop up now.

He didn't know what kind of person that Building No. 2 manager would be.

Hopefully, they wouldn't be someone like Li Chong.

Speaking of Li Chong.

Including Li Chong, the murderer of those few people who died still hadn't been found.

Probably another unsolved mystery.

He sighed deeply, feeling the impermanence of life.

His biggest worry was still that when the three-year term for his apartment was up, he wouldn't be able to sell it.

Or that the price would be heavily discounted.

He prepared to return to Room 304 and lie down.

He had 200,000 points drained by those two people this morning. No matter how much he tried not to care, at least today he couldn't act like nothing happened.

Originally planning to take the elevator,

he remembered his previous slogan about exercising.

Apart from seriously exercising every day at the start, later on, it became more like three days of fishing and two days of drying the nets.

"Forget it, the floor isn't that high. I'll take the stairs! Consider it exercise!"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Ran took the stairs.

Normally, not many people should use these stairs.

Plus, the cleaning aunties cleaned diligently, so they were spotlessly white, looking very clean.

But this cleanliness disappeared at the landing between the first and second floors.

Because there, on the broad expanse of white, appeared a splash of bright red.

Mixed with the rusty scent of blood, it stabbed into Jiang Ran's nostrils like a sharp sword.

Jiang Ran took a deep breath.

He walked to that landing, turned, and looked up the stairs to the second floor.

A trail of blood was slowly flowing down the steps.

At that moment, his heart pounded wildly.

Jiang Ran stepped lightly, following the parts of the stairs without blood upwards, reaching the second-floor staircase.

Then he looked down and discovered the blood trail led all the way to the second floor.

He cautiously peeked his head around the corner between the stairwell and the hallway.

He only saw this scene.

The blood trail extended from Jiang Ran's position deep into the hallway.

A short distance past Room 202.

A person was slumped on the ground, leaning back against the wall.

His body was covered in blood.

Another person was holding a long knife, continuously exerting force, slashing left and right across that person's body in a frenzy.

Each slash sent blood splattering.

That person should already be dead;otherwise, being treated like that would definitely elicit painful screams.

Jiang Ran's eyesight was pretty good. He saw the victim and the murderer.

He didn't recognize the victim, but he recognized the murderer.

He just couldn't believe it.

He took out his phone, aiming the phone's camera in that direction.

Many phones nowadays have powerful cameras, especially the telephoto lenses.

Jiang Ran used his phone's camera, continuously zooming in on that area, zooming, zooming, about 40x magnification.

He saw that person's profile, and occasionally, as they moved, most of their face swinging into view, clearly.

That face was very pale, paler than many women's faces!

Such a pale face, in the entire Alice Apartment.

Jiang Ran had only seen one person with it.

That person was also the first person he met when he came to Alice Apartment!

Bai Ze!

While Jiang Ran was immersed in the phone's screen, he suddenly noticed that Bai Ze over there had stopped moving and was turning his head towards his direction.

Scared, he hurriedly put away his phone and pulled back.

Immediately after, he heard a very deep voice come from the hallway:

"Who's there?"

Jiang Ran was too scared to move.

Even his breathing seemed to stop.

Then he heard another man's voice: "Quite alert, but you got the direction wrong. Clean up the body, we need to go to the meeting."

After that voice came the sounds of a body being moved and footsteps.

Five minutes later.

Jiang Ran cautiously peeked his head out again.

He saw that in the hallway, Bai Ze from before and the person he had been hacking at were gone.

Including the person with the second voice.

He immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Once his whole body relaxed, he strode up the stairs towards the third floor.
