Qin Nuo adopted an indifferent attitude, wanting to pass by without a gnd return to his room. But then he residered. Helpis resolve family disputes might be a way to establish basic retionships!

  So, Qin Nuo stopped and peeked inside.

  Room 403 was in chaos, with hot dishes overturned and steaming. The bones were boiled to mush, and the meat was unreizable.

  The tenants were a family of three. The man had a ferocious look, veins bulging, eyes bloodshot, and he was grabbing his wife's hair, itting domestic violence.

  The wife, bleeding from the mouth, wore a strangely calm expression, even showing a chilling smile.

  Nearby, a child of about four or five sat on a small stool, g his hands vigorously and grinning.

  "You cooked it!!" the man roared, wishing he could devour his wife.

  "Useless trash, 't you lift the kit knife over there?"

  "Just like in bed, you're as useless as that thing of yours..."

  The wife kept taunting her husband, seemingly deriving great pleasure from it.

  In a fit e, the man turo grab the knife on the ter.

  But at that moment, the wife, with ued strength, stabbed a pair of scissors from her sleeve into the man's neck as he turned.

  Blood spttered!

  With a fierce push, the husband fell out the window.

  After pushing her husband out, the wife calmly returo her seat, tidied her hair, and served herself food as if nothing had happened.

  The boy tinued g excitedly, his face flushed with excitement, almost out of breath.

  "Sweetie, don't ugh while eating, you'll choke!"

  The wife patted the boy's head, carefully feeding him.

  Suddenly, she looked up at Qin Nuo at the door and smiled politely, "You're from 4ht? Have you eaten? Want to e in for a bowl?"

  "No need, I just ate."

  "I... heard the noise and came to check if you needed help?" Qin Nuo g the open window, his mouth twitg slightly.

  "No need, our family is very harmonious. It's normal tue occasionally. How about a bowl of soup before you go?"

  Harmonious...

  Is this really what a wife says after killing her husband?

  "Maybe ime." Qin Nuo deed the offer, notig a fingernail in the soup, and quickly left.

  It was rare to meet a warm neighbor, but Qin Nuo couldablish a good retionship with them.

  This family was beyond strange.

  Crazy?

  No, at least crazy people are normally crazy.

  In parison, Qin Nuo suddenly found the tenant in 405 seemed quite normal.

  At least he was just a simple fat nerd.

  "The tenants in this entire building are not simple," the Blood-Eyed Ghost suddenly spoke.

  "Oh, I thought you were hibernating," Qin Nuo joked.

  The Blood-Eyed Ghost rolled its eyes and said, "This apartment has a smell that bothers me, I didn't want to e out."

  "What smell? I don't smell anything," Qin Nuo she air.

  The Blood-Eyed Ghost didn't expin further, saying, "There's a very scary ghost hidden in this apartment, be careful of it..."

  Qin Nuo was stunned.

  Damn!

  Could it be referring to that murderous maniac?

  "Where is it?"

  "I just se's in some er."

  Qin Nuo eechless, "That's as good as saying nothing."

  "Think about what I said, the tenants in this building are not simple," the Blood-Eyed Ghost repeated.

  "e on, I'm not good at riddles, 't you just say what you mean?"

  But the Blood-Eyed Ghost didn't reply, seemingly going back to sleep.

  "Great, you just came out to mess with my mind."

  As Qin Nuo returo his room, the door of the 405 tenant suddenly opened a crack.

  Those dead-fish eyes looked at Qin Nuo with added rese.

  Qin Nuo chuckled awkwardly, "About st night, I..."

  "I'll kill you!!"

  Leaving that sentehe door smmed shut.

  So, they really became enemies!

  Qin Nuo shook his head. Since he couldn't build favorability, there was o be polite.

  If the other party wao mess with him, he'd deal with them first!

  After finishing his fast food, Qin Nuo y on the chair, letting his stomach digest while p the enant to visit.

  There were only five rooms on each floor.

  Havihe tenants of 403 and 405, only 401 and 406 were left.

  Qin Nuo felt exhausted.

  He just hoped these two tenants would be a bit more normal.

  Why was it so hard to get along with neighbors?

  Five mier, Qin Nuo left his room, pnning to kno 401's door first.

  As he passed 403, he suddenly heard cursing from the stairwell.

  "Bitch! Whore! I'll kill you!"

  The husband, covered in blood, came back from the stairwell, the scissors still in his neck, his face twisted with rage.

  He rushed bato room 403, smming the door shut.

  Qin Nuo didn't bother with them anymore; let the couple haheir own issues.

  At the end of the hallway, the door to 401 was actually open!

  A strong chill emanated from the room, giving Qin Nuo goosebumps. He peeked inside, "Hello, is ahere?"

  The room was cold and sparsely furnished.

  A man sat in a chair, looking up at the creaking ceiling fan.

  "Hello, I..."

  "You're the enant in 404."

  Before Qin Nuo could finish, the man spoke.

  "Yes." Qin Nuo didn't expect the man to be aware of him.

  He seemed to be a retively normal tenant.

  " you do me a favor?" the man suddenly asked.

  "Sure, what is it?"

  "Could you speak to the ndlord for me? I've saved enough for this month's rent. he return my item?"

  "I pawned something with him."

  Qin Nuo thought this favor didn't sound difficult and asked, "What did you pawn?"

  "My heart."

  The man turned, and Qin Nuo saw his left chest was empty, his heart missing.

  The incision was , with blood vessels clearly visible, like a part removed from a mae.

  So, the heart in that box beloo this guy!

  Qin Nuo felt a bit creeped out; was this the sequence of not payi?

  "Please, help me, I'd be eternally grateful," the man pleaded.

  Just as Qin Nuo was about to speak, a system voice echoed in his mind.

  "Ding! Host has triggered a passive missiorieve the heart of the 401 tenant within 4 hours to gain +80 favorability!"

  "Mission failure penalty: Leave an arm as a souvenir for the ndlord!"

  "Mission be refused, but once accepted, it ot be ged!"

  Qin Nuo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll do my best, but I 't guarantee I'll get your heart back."

  "Thank you."

  The man said no more, turning back to gaze at the ceiling, looking lonely aed.

  After firming the mission, Qin Nuo left the room.

  Old people like to chat, so he could start by chatting with the ndlord to build a good retionship.

  But thinking of the ndlord's face, Qin Nuo felt uneasy.

  As he went downstairs, Qin Nuo uedly entered two people.

  The pyer Cobra and another anonymous pyer "Jiang Xiaobai."

  They seemed to also be heading to the first-floor lobby to find the ndlord...
