Zeng Yan had read far too many web novels.
So when he heard that an Arican deranged serial killer nad Bundy, who should have died years ago, was now appearing here, his mind instinctively jumped to one conclusion.
He couldn't help but wonder if they had stumbled into so supernatural place similar to those web novels, *Hell Apartnt*, *Ghost House*, and the like.
In his imagination, Alice Apartnt was exactly that kind of place—an apartnt complex housing a deranged serial killer like Bundy.
Soone who had died and co back to life, resurrected by so mysterious force with only one goal: kill the other residents.
Combine that with the high salary of ten thousand a day.
He truly felt he might have fallen into a supernatural location!!!
...
Because they had to be on guard against Bundy, Jiang Ran and the other two n, along with Manager Wu iling, all stayed overnight in the managent office of Building No. 1 that night.
They took turns keeping watch.
Soon, morning arrived.
The night passed peacefully.
With the daylight, the group temporarily split up, each returning to their own rooms to wash up and eat breakfast.
After breakfast, the four of them gathered again in the first-floor managent office.
Jiang Ran left early because he had to go to the hospital to get his bandages removed.
This was also the last piece of bandage on Jiang Ran's body. Once it was off, he would completely look like a normal person again.
Therefore, at a little past eight in the morning, only Manager Wu iling and the other two were in the managent office.
"Any news on that Bundy guy?"
Inside the managent office, Yang Qi asked the other two.
Manager Wu iling glanced at WeChat, at the ssages in the Alice Apartnt residents' group chat, and shook her head slightly.
In the group, aside from a few occasional replies saying "received," no one ntioned seeing Bundy or provided any information about him.
Zeng Yan said, "Could it be that Bundy has already left Alice Apartnt?"
"After all, he killed soone in the apartnt, and the police ca. Maybe he's already left Alice Apartnt?"
Manager Wu iling dismissed the idea. "Probably not."
"Since the most dangerous place is also the safest, the psychological fortitude and thought processes of these deranged serial killers aren't sothing ordinary people can guess with common sense."
Manager Wu iling couldn't exactly tell them plainly.
She couldn't say that Bundy, as a resident of Alice Apartnt, was absolutely forbidden from leaving. If he did, death would be waiting for him.
"It's fine. If he's still in the apartnt, he'll have to go back to his place eventually."
"I've already set up a cara in his apartnt. As soon as he cos ho, I'll know right away."
Yang Qi pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and opened an app.
He tapped a few tis, and the screen displayed the living room of Bundy's apartnt.
Zeng Yan looked at it, surprised.
He asked, "When did you set up that cara?"
Yang Qi said, "Yesterday. Right after we all found out Bundy had killed soone, I set it up."
Zeng Yan nodded, then frowned. "Hey, that's still not right. Why would you just happen to be carrying an internet-connected cara like that on you?"
That question piqued Manager Wu iling's curiosity as well.
After all, what normal person would carry sothing like that around?
Yang Qi said, "Well... I've visited so orphanages in other cities before, and I saw that so orphans were being abused. So, back then, I got into this kind of stuff to gather evidence."
Zeng Yan's expression cleared. "Ah, I see."
Yang Qi looked down at his phone. "Yeah, anyway, from when we went to Bundy's place yesterday to when the police left, no one has co back to his apartnt."
Manager Wu iling, anwhile, sat down on a chair in the corner of the managent office.
Once seated, she stared at Yang Qi, who was still looking at his phone.
This Yang Qi... According to what he said, he had installed the cara in the living room last night when they all went to Bundy's apartnt and discovered the female corpse.
Didn't that an he had seen everything she said to that one young fake policeman last night through the cara?
This kind of internet-connected cara should have a playback feature...
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. The conversation I had with that fake cop last night was just a few words. I said they were fake cops, things like that. The ones who ca later were also fake cops. And those fake cops barely said anything last night either; they were all very quiet."
Manager Wu iling wasn't too bothered by it.
So lab rats were very smart and had already seen through Alice Apartnt.
Others were still clueless and confused.
As for the Yang Qi in front of her, if he hadn't had a chance to watch that chat footage yet, then his current behavior ant nothing.
But if he had already seen it and was still acting like nothing was wrong, then it ant he might have long suspected and understood the situation in the apartnt. He was a deep one.
She pulled a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, lit one for herself.
Then she asked Yang Qi and Zeng Yan if they wanted one.
Both of them took one.
...
Alice Apartnt, Building No. 1, Room 303.
Qin Kelian was lying on the sofa playing on her phone. She said to her sister Qin Yi, who was doing yoga in front of the TV:
"Sis, what do you think about that Bundy guy Wu iling posted about in the group? Do you think we'll run into him?"
Qin Yi didn't stop her yoga movents. "What? You want to earn that informant reward money?"
Qin Kelian sat up and shook her head. "No, no, no. Too dangerous. That Bundy guy specifically targets young girls. If I took a risk for that bit of money, wouldn't I be walking right into a trap?"
Qin Yi chuckled. Her mind then replayed the ssage Manager Wu iling had sent last night:
First, a photo of Bundy from his ID.
Followed by: This man is nad Bundy. He's an Arican.
A deranged serial killer. Lives in Building No. 2, Room 901.
He murdered his young female neighbor in Room 902.
The police have been notified and are investigating, but the killer has not been caught.
It is highly suspected that the killer, Bundy, is still hiding inside the apartnt complex. Please be careful.
Anyone who can proactively provide information will receive a reward ranging from 1,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.
"If my guess is right, our dear Manager Wu iling must have been attacked by Bundy. Otherwise, she would never have posted a wanted notice for him in the group."
Qin Yi finished a single-leg exchange stretch and stopped doing yoga.
She smiled warmly at her younger sister.
Qin Kelian also nodded with a smile. "For sure. I've been living in this apartnt for a while now, and I've hardly ever seen the manager post sothing like this. Whenever she does, it's always for her own benefit. And this ti, she's even willing to put up money to reward anyone with information..."
Inside Building No. 2, Room 601.
Zhang Yao lounged casually against the headboard of the bed, scrolling through TikTok.
Beside him, Lei Xiaoman was fast asleep.
After Lei Xiaoman killed her boyfriend and Zhang Yao disposed of the body,
Zhang Yao had officially begun his pursuit of Lei Xiaoman.
It didn't take much effort; it was practically a forced sale.
Zhang Yao got Lei Xiaoman. She beca his girlfriend.
Having held back for a long ti, this release made Zhang Yao feel completely relaxed and refreshed.
After browsing TikTok for a while, he went back to WeChat and scrolled through various group chats.
He saw the ssage about Bundy in the Alice Apartnt residents' group chat again.
Since he had never killed a lab rat, he didn't have the privilege of viewing resident information.
So back then, Zhang Yao had gone online to see if there was an encyclopedia entry for this foreigner. As it turned out, there was.
After reading the encyclopedia entry,
He felt that this Bundy was a lot like him. Both of them went after won.
But there were differences between him and Bundy.
