I logged into Mr. Zombie

"You bunch of cowards!"

The lioness's roar made Tan Wenjie reluctantly open his eyes. Since moving into the apartment, he seemed unable to get a good night's sleep.

A series of loud bangs and crashes came from the apartment next door, accompanied by strange and unusual noises.

He got up and opened the door, just in time to see Tang Youyou, dressed in her pajamas, also entering the living room.

Tang Youyou asked, "Ah Jie, were you also woken up by Yifei?"

"Yeah, what's going on next door?"

"Ultraman fighting monsters, Decepticons invading Earth, or maybe the Terminator coming to save the world." She shook her head and said, "I don't know either, shall we go and take a look?"

The two went to the next room together; the door was half-open.

There was a pool of blood on the ground, a twisted rat carcass in the trash can, three idiots sitting on the sofa trembling, and Hu Yifei standing in front of the coffee table, pointing and scolding.

"Yifei, you're even more Donnie Yen than Jet Li! You can actually kill a rat with your bare hands!" Zhang Wei couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

I had heard about Hu Yifei's ruthlessness before, but today is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.

"It's not that I'm tough, it's that you guys are too cowardly." Hu Yifei shook her head. "A tiny mouse has scared the four of you like this."

“There were three,” Guan Gu Shenqi said, rubbing his head. “I don’t know what happened, I was just knocked unconscious on the ground.”

“I can vouch for it!” Zhang Wei raised his hand. “It was when Zi Qiao was hitting the mouse with the alarm clock that he accidentally knocked out our only warrior in 3602 who wasn’t afraid of mice.”

Hu Yifei continued, "Those three bastards are up all night and making the whole floor restless. This is really damaging to the image of our Love Apartment!"

Zeng Xiaoxian asked in confusion, "There's only one mouse, where did these three bastards come from?"

"I'm talking about you three bastards!" Hu Yifei was furious. "You never throw away your leftover takeout garbage, so rats will definitely come here often. Are you planning to fight a whole family of rats then?"

"Isn't it you I still have?"

"I don't want to bother protecting you bunch of bastards!" Hu Yifei pointed to the door. "Look, you've woken up A-Jie and Youyou."

Tan Wenjie: "We were both woken up by you."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that the three of them were all looking at him and giving him a thumbs up.

Anyone who dares to talk to Hu Yifei like that in Love Apartment must be a cat, with at least nine lives.

"Well, that's because those guys are just too useless."

Hu Yifei waved her hand somewhat awkwardly and said:

"Go back to sleep!"

the next day.

"Why did it suddenly switch to the evening?" Tan Wenjie sat in the bar, looking around in confusion.

Sitting next to him were Lu Ziqiao, Zhang Wei, and Zeng Xiaoxian.

“You’re a good brother who just joined us,” Lu Ziqiao said. “We’ve all been drinking and chatting together, sharing our joys and sorrows! Consider this a welcome dinner for you… I heard you sold a lot of gold? I’m a little short on cash lately.”

“Hey, Ziqiao, Wenjie has reached the point where he has to sell his gold, which means the situation is critical,” Zeng Xiaoxian said immediately. “You’d better not try to take advantage of him.”

“Then let’s change it,” Lu Ziqiao said. “How about we each take one character from our names and team up to pick up girls? Your looks are just as good as mine, so we can be each other’s wingmen… How about we call ourselves the Wenzi Duo? What do you think?”

"Pfft." Zeng Xiaoxian sprayed out a mist of water. "Mosquitoes? I'm more like flies."

“Hey, Qiao, I’m your wingman!” Zhang Wei pointed at himself. “You’ve forgotten, I’m Zhang Yida, Snake.”

"Your looks aren't good enough to justify the role of a wingman."

"How could I..."

"Hi~" Hu Yifei suddenly approached with a strange smile, "Since you guys are disturbing the neighbors on the same floor at night, I've come up with a plan on the spot."

"Wait a minute!" Lu Ziqiao raised his hand and said, "On the same floor, it seems like only room 3601 is like this, right?"

"Also, Wenjie and Youyou were both woken up by your Lion's Roar last night," Zeng Xiaoxian added urgently.

"Ok?"

A sharp glare flew, and the three fell silent.

Zhang Wei: "I...I didn't say anything."

“This is a comprehensive management plan,” Hu Yifei said, hands on her hips. “It includes when you turn off the lights, when you get up, when outsiders are prohibited from visiting, what decibel level is considered noise… and the penalties for violations.”

What is a personal safety guarantee fund?

"If you need to kill rats next time, I can provide professional services... of course, not for free."

"Protection fees?" X3
"You don't have to pay, but next time you encounter a mouse, don't call for your mother."

Hu Yifei turned and left with a flourish, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked in a low voice.

All eyes turned to Zhang Wei, clearly indicating that they would start with him.

Zhang Wei shrank back fearfully: "Just looking at the part about catching rats is still very appealing."

"Tch, I'm so cowardly!"

“I think we absolutely cannot admit defeat, mainly because I don’t have any money,” Lu Ziqiao said.

Their gaze shifted to Tan Wenjie.

“I don’t need to participate.” Tan Wenjie shook his head, pointed to the “Comprehensive Management Plan” and said, “Look, the scope is limited to 3602. To be precise, it excludes Guan Gu and only targets the three of you. Besides, I’m not afraid of rats at all, nor am I afraid of Hu Yifei.”

"Bullshit!" X3
They simply didn't believe that anyone in the world was unafraid of Hu Yifei.

"Don't you want revenge?" Zeng Xiaoxian coaxed. "She suspected you of being a gold thief back then, which was an insult to your character!"

“You were all the ones who suspected him together.” Tan Wenjie pointed at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei: "But! It was Hu Yifei who first became suspicious!"

Zeng Xiaoxian: "And it was you who caught her."

Lu Ziqiao: "The most important thing is that we can't beat her, so we need another person to take the damage."

"Ah Jie, over here!" Tang Youyou suddenly waved from a distance.

"I have something to do." Tan Wenjie stood up. "You guys talk first."

After a brief silence, Zeng Xiaoxian broke the silence among the remaining three: "Wealth and honor cannot corrupt us, poverty and hardship cannot sway us, and power and force cannot subdue us. Even if no one helps us, the three of us will absolutely not bow our heads and admit defeat!"

Zhang Wei: "These three sentences don't really concern us, do they? I'm a poor wretch, Ziqiao is a lecher, and you're a coward."

"Wait!" Lu Ziqiao suddenly raised his hand.

"Do you have a good idea?"

"I haven't thought of that yet."

"..."

Zeng Xiaoxian stroked his chin: "There are three of us, three cobblers, and we'll outsmart Zhuge Liang!"

"Let's add Wenjie too. He seems genuinely unafraid of Hu Yifei."

"He seems uninterested in everything, it's so difficult."

"How about I bring over a few beautiful women and use them to seduce him?" Lu Ziqiao asked.

"Tch!" x2
"He seems like the kind of upright and honest sunny boy who couldn't possibly be a womanizer."

……

"Okay, I agree!"

"Really? Thank you so much, A-Jie!" Tang Youyou was overjoyed. "Ever since 'Dante, Love Me Again,' I've been going to auditions. The directors all say my acting is too forceful, so I thought you're an actor too. If you could come with me to the audition, that would be great. Maybe you could help me understand the script and land the role."

"This plot looks very familiar."

"Is there?"

"When?"

"tomorrow!"

Tan Wenjie nodded. After all, he had been an actor and experienced a lot of life, so he could easily deliver an award-winning performance.

"What role did you get?" "The female lead!" Tang Youyou emphasized, "I won't die in the first episode!"

"Do the female leads you play always finish filming in the first episode?"

“Yes, but!” Tang Youyou nodded, “My black and white photos can be used for many episodes, and once during the finale, the second female lead and the male lead even kissed in front of my photos.”

If she dies in the first episode, she's not a female lead.

When Tan Wenjie returned to his booth, he found Zeng Xiaoxian and the other two staring at him with very lewd looks.

He instinctively stepped back: "Is something wrong?"

"Brother Jie~, please help me out!" X3
"Do you really want to scare Hu Yifei?"

"Yes, if we give her a scare, she won't be so strict with us."

"She's the bravest woman I've ever met." Tan Wenjie shook his head. "It's easier to seduce her than to scare her."

Zhang Wei quickly patted the two men's arms and said excitedly, "What did I tell you? Brother Jie is definitely the most courageous man in Love Apartment."

"He can even say things like 'I'm dating Hu Yifei'..."

"Hero!" the three exclaimed in unison.

"I didn't say I'd do it myself; I have other important things to do." Tan Wenjie shook his head. "Why don't you send her a message that her bank card has been maxed out?"

"That was truly terrifying." X3
Lu Ziqiao said, "If you help us win over Hu Yifei, I'll introduce you to some beautiful women."

He pointed to the entire bar and patted his chest.

Finally, he said, "If you see someone you like in this bar, I'll get their contact information for you right away."

"Wait a minute." Tan Wenjie reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a stack of slips of paper.

"What is this?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked instinctively.

Zhang Wei picked up a random item: "It looks like contact information, but it also has an age written on it, and what is this 99/60/89?"

"What?! You actually got all the contact information for all the beautiful women in the bar?" Lu Ziqiao immediately grabbed a sheet, his eyes wide. "Age? Measurements? Occupation?! Even their household registration?!"

Zeng Xiaoxian picked up a sheet and exclaimed, "This is even more detailed than submitting a resume for a job interview! But this is... F?"

"Hiss—" X3
“No.” Tan Wenjie shook his head. “You’re wrong about one thing. It’s not just the bar. Since I came out of 3601, people have been giving me notes all the way here. I just casually put them in my pocket, and before I knew it, I had so many.”

"That's amazing!" Lu Ziqiao exclaimed in delight. "Brother, you've got a gold mine at your fingertips! With just a wave of your hand, you can ride among beauties!"

"..."

"Wait, Ziqiao, the more important thing now is to get revenge on Hu Yifei." Zeng Xiaoxian realized in time, "We absolutely can't let her continue to be so arrogant."

“I can help you,” Tan Wenjie suddenly said, “but you have to help me find someone.”

"Who?"

“My friend, he should have lived in Love Apartment too.”

"It's too easy. I'm the vice chairman of the residents' committee. Just tell me your name and I can help you find it."

"No name."

"photo?"

No, not at all.

"..." Zeng Xiaoxian said helplessly, "There's nothing here, how are we supposed to find someone?"

"But he's definitely not a local."

“That will take some time,” Zeng Xiaoxian said. “But who am I? Brother Xian! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you find this friend who has no information about you. By the way… could you tell me your gender?”

"Not sure, could it be a man?"

"..."X3
With Tan Wenjie's approval, the four of them immediately finalized a plan to scare Hu Yifei.

However, Tan Wenjie remained silent as he watched the three of them reach the same conclusion.

"Disguised as an Avatar?"

This plan doesn't seem like it's meant to scare Hu Yifei; it seems more like it's designed to mess with the three of them.

"Otherwise, what good plan do you have?"

"No, but what do I need to do?"

"Come with us."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in cosplay."

"Then let's build up the atmosphere, and strike when the opportunity arises, ideally giving her wave after wave of shocks."

into the night.

Hu Yifei sat in the living room and looked at Tan Wenjie.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Have you noticed that something's not quite right about this world?" Tan Wenjie asked.

Hu Yifei asked, "What's wrong with it?"

Tan Wenjie: "I fell asleep last night, and when I woke up it was tonight."

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes: "That's because you slept for too long."

"I think I saw something dirty today," Tan Wenjie said in a low voice, "and just ran past it."

"Dirty stuff? Could it be eye boogers stuck in the corner of your eye?"

"..."

As expected of Hu Yifei, she is not only immune to all poisons, but also has a naturally oblivious nature.

"Clang, clang, thump, thump—"

Hu Yifei frowned: "What's that sound? Hey, Tan Wenjie, why are you suddenly playing scary music?"

Tan Wenjie: "Let's create some atmosphere."

"I feel like something's off about you, something seems off." Hu Yifei shook her head.

But one thing she was certain of was that Tan Wenjie, like everyone else in the apartment, was a scoundrel; his handsome appearance was merely a facade to deceive his enemies.

"By the way, would you like to hear a scary story?"

"What, you think you can scare me? Bring it on!"

"It was a pitch-black night when the apartment building experienced a power outage."

Snapped.

As soon as he finished speaking, the living room lights went out.

The atmosphere changed instantly.

"Why is the power out?" Hu Yifei had just turned her head when she saw Tan Wenjie shining a flashlight upwards from her chin. She stammered, "W-what are you doing?"

"Let's turn on the light so you can see it," Tan Wenjie asked. "Continue?"

"Go on, I'm not scared at all."

Just then, knock knock, someone was knocking on the door.

"Knock knock." Sure enough, there was a knock on the door.

Hu Yifei swallowed hard.

"Do you want me to open the door?" Tan Wenjie asked.

Why didn't you open the door?

"You're closer to the door."

"I'll wait here!" Hu Yifei got up and unlocked the door.

"what--!"

A scream pierced the night sky. (End of Chapter)
