Chapter 219 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment (4)
The next day, Gu Shijiu woke up early and was shocked to see the mess in the room.
Did someone enter the room last night?
But what did he do? It looked very intense, with tattered rags and cotton everywhere.
It seems... there's an extra rag doll?
Gu Shijiu scratched his head, trying to recall whether it was something that had always been there or something that had just appeared.
Hmm, I can't remember.
It just looks a bit shabby.
One arm was broken, most of the cotton inside the body had fallen out, and the buttons of the suit were scattered all over the ground.
For some reason, even though the doll didn't move, it seemed to be in a low mood.
Gu Shijiu really likes dolls and similar toys, and seeing their miserable state, she decided to search online for ways to refurbish old toys.
She had completely forgotten to think about why her house was such a mess.
After unlocking the phone, a video popped up immediately; it was a synchronized video from the smart doorbell camera.
Yesterday, with the help of the intermediary, Gu Shijiu not only connected her mobile phone to the peephole on the door, but also changed the password.
Because an abnormal situation was recorded, the video will immediately pop up to remind the owner.
Actually, the app kept beeping for a long time last night, but Gu Shijiu was sleeping too soundly and didn't hear it at all.
Watching these scenes in the video, Gu Shijiu was filled with disbelief.
She never imagined that such a strange and bizarre thing would happen in her room while she was asleep last night.
Unfortunately, the recording distance of Maoyan is limited, otherwise Gu Shijiu would have seen that the person who released the suit-wearing doll was the man who had flirted with her yesterday.
Jiang Jiadong was frowning as he contacted his suit-wearing doll.
Oh no, it's been all night, why hasn't the special item returned yet? Could it be that it's about to leave the organization?
Or were they detained?
Jiang Jiadong recalled Gu Shijiu's indifferent face and felt something was amiss.
Is the other party not an ordinary person either?
Jiang Jiadong's original intention was to scare away this overly bold rich girl with a suit-wearing doll, but he didn't expect it to backfire.
These special items are priceless, and a detailed investigation must be conducted for each one that is lost.
If his superiors find out that he tried to intimidate ordinary people but lost a special item, that would be terrible.
Jiang Jiadong wanted to go next door to ask, but he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he was extremely conflicted.
The suit-clad doll he sent out cursed inwardly: "That bastard sent me to such a dangerous place to die! Please save me!!"
Gu Shijiu thought that since the script was dangerous and the house was haunted, it was normal for there to be something unusual.
But what did this rag doll do after it came in? Why did it make such a mess of her house?
Gu Shijiu was a little angry.
If the house gets messy, she has to hire someone to clean it up, which costs money, and she'll blame it on the rag doll.
But how do you communicate with this thing?
Gu Shijiu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
She glanced at the other items in the room; well, they all looked normal.
Never mind that, let's go out to eat.
The weather looks bad today; it feels like it's going to rain soon, so we need to hurry.
As Gu Shijiu left, she wondered, "Why hasn't the story started yet?"
She glanced down at her phone; the date on the screen was August 14th.
Yesterday's notice said that we couldn't do anything on the 4th and 14th.
Gu Shijiu forgot; she stood outside the elevator door in a daze, intending to take another look when she went in.
When I arrived at the 16th floor, there was already a person standing inside, a middle-aged man who looked rather composed.
Gu Shijiu went in and scanned the area, but didn't see the notice from yesterday; instead, she saw a new one.
This notice will only be issued on the 14th and 24th of each month. To ensure your safety and the safety of others, residents are required to strictly follow the instructions.
1. Before using the elevator, ensure there is sufficient light in the vicinity. If not, do not use the elevator.
2. Please ensure that there is nothing suspicious outside the elevator before the elevator doors close. If there is, please immediately move away from the elevator and into the building.
3. If you see ordinary residents in the elevator, please quickly leave the area around the elevator and enter the building's stairwell.
4. If you are unable to go to the hallway for any reason, please immediately go to the nearest room and close the door.
5. If you have already taken refuge in a room, do not open the door or leave your hiding place until the next day.
6. Please stay away from the sixteenth floor. Remember, never enter the sixteenth floor.
7. If you are already in an irreversible crisis, please leave a record to help others.
The signature is from the Fuyun Apartment Management Team.
To be honest, Gu Shijiu didn't understand a single one of them.
How bright does a sufficiently bright light source mean? What kind of phenomenon is considered suspicious? And what does "ordinary residents" mean?
Can you just walk into the nearest room? What kind of crisis is considered irreparable?
Gu Shijiu stared blankly with her head tilted back when the middle-aged man next to her suddenly spoke up: "You can see?"
"Ah—" Gu Shijiu slowly turned her head, "How could I not see such a big piece of paper?"
"You're a new ability user? I've never seen you before." The man extended his right hand. "Zhang Cheng, leader of the first team of the Special Incident Handling Group."
"Ah—" Gu Shijiu's mind went blank for a moment, "What is an ability user?"
Zhang Cheng frowned and looked you up and down: "Only those with abilities can see the rules. You don't even know them? Then what are you doing here?"
Several of our team members disappeared from this building recently; it's very dangerous here right now.
Those who can get the team leader to take action are usually not easy to deal with.
The team said they had assigned someone to help, and Zhang Cheng thought it was this young girl in front of him.
Now it seems that way.
The innocent stupidity on the other person's face really didn't seem like that of a trained ability user.
As they were talking, the elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
Zhang Cheng had a companion who, as soon as the elevator doors opened, shouted, "Brother Zhang, I've marked all the stairwells in the entire building—"
The speaker was Jiang Jiadong, who became somewhat agitated upon seeing Gu Shijiu: "Did you take my doll? Give it back to me right now—"
Realizing that his team leader was right beside him, he immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
Zhang Cheng frowned: "What's going on?"
The removal of special items is a big deal.
Jiang Jiadong's face turned from pale to white under Zhang Cheng's gaze: "Team leader, this person may have taken the rag doll I brought out."
"Explain yourself more clearly," Zhang Cheng said in a low voice.
Gu Shijiu quickly defended herself: "It was clearly that ugly thing who sneaked into my room and caused trouble at night, how could I take it?"
"Then why hasn't it come back yet?" Jiang Jiadong became angrier the more he thought about it. "I kindly advised you to stay away from danger, and you confiscated my special items."
"How should I know? It won't move at all." Gu Shijiu said angrily, "Why are you turning the tables on me?"
Zhang Cheng's expression grew increasingly grim: "Jiang Jiadong! Who gave permission to use the organization's special items to intimidate people?"
Oh no, we've been discovered! Jiang Jiadong stood frozen in place.
