My tenants are monsters

Rin Shiraishi already knew this information when he received the task of "Two Sections of Corpse", but he didn't tell Sachiko about it, so it was naturally impossible for the little girl to know the content and tell her mother about it.So, Shiraishi Rin told Ogino Yoshie succinctly of the information he had.

It also includes the part about the Iwata family, but it only talks about the information I found in the Naruya Hospital, and does not talk about the guesses in my heart.

After all, Yoshie Ogino is a cat demon who has lived for decades and has seen the world, so after the initial shock faded, she quickly recovered her composure:

"I see... It is true that the points you mentioned are quite suspicious. It is difficult for ordinary monsters to meet these characteristics at the same time, and the blood line at the waist..."

——The proportion of monsters that can transform into human form is actually not very high among all monsters, only about [-] to [-]%.Moreover, the human form of many monsters is only roughly similar to humans in outline, but there are many characteristics of the body that cannot be concealed, such as the horns on the head of ghosts, the teeth of canine monsters, and the pupils of cat monsters. In order to be exactly the same as human beings, it is necessary to use a blindfold to add an additional layer of cover.

In addition, except for a very few cold-blooded animals, the body temperature of most of the monsters transformed into human forms will not deviate too much from that of humans.

So there are really not many things that can meet these conditions at the same time, and there is a high probability that they are "zombies".

The reasoning process is reasonable and logical.

It's just that monsters like "zombies" are very rare. In a certain sense, they are even rarer than obsessive aggregates like pale human figures. Even Yoshie Ogino only knows the existence of such a thing, but has no Having seen it with my own eyes in reality, I was somewhat surprised at this time.

As for the "Yamaguchi Toshio" thing...

Yoshie Ogino thought about it for a while, but didn't comment.

"There is too little information in this area. I can't see anything for the time being. It's better to wait for clearer information before making a decision."

"In addition, although it is a bit inappropriate to say this at this time, Xiao Lin, you are indeed more special than any human girl I have seen before, so you can gather these rare ghosts together. But if that early Seeing that Calamus is really a zombie, then she should have the need to suck the blood of living people, right?

This kind of thing... Xiao Lin, how are you going to deal with it? "

"what?"

suck blood...

Bai Shilin thought for a while, and gradually understood in his heart.

indeed.

When she thought about it before, she ignored this point.

This can't be completely blamed on her carelessness, after all, this is the first time she has seen monsters like zombies, and in general oriental legends, zombies don't just need to suck blood, but they can become stronger after sucking blood, but it won't be so bad if they don't suck blood. Unable to survive, on the contrary, Western vampires have the characteristic of needing to drink human blood to maintain their activity, and there is something in common between the two that cannot see the sun... But these things are basically written by movies and literary works , It’s hard to say whether it’s true or not.

Anyway, judging from the current short observation, I saw that calamus is not so afraid of the sun, at most it just dislikes it a little bit.

And if this zombie lady really needs to drink blood on a daily basis...

That would be a bit of a hassle.

"I'll ask her later."

Rin Shiraishi thought for a while, and said under the gaze of Yoshie Ogino: "In the hospital... or somewhere else, should you be able to buy blood bags? If you don't have to suck fresh blood, that's enough, otherwise , You don’t necessarily have to drink human blood, do you?

For example, pig blood, duck blood and so on, even if the effect is not as good as human blood, it should be fine as a substitute, right? "

If animal blood is also available, it would be too simple, and you don’t even need to hunt outside, as long as you buy some live chicken and duck blood from the market from time to time.Or find a slaughterhouse to cooperate with and collect all the blood released during the slaughter of pigs and sell it to yourself. Not only the channels are regular, but you can also drink the freshest every day...

Shiraishi Rin naturally doesn't know the habits of zombies.

Yoshie Ogino knew little more than her in this regard, so she couldn't offer any constructive suggestions, so she could only say vaguely: "Anyway, let's confirm this matter with Miss Hayami Iris first. , if you really have to try to solve it, the sooner the better, if you need anything, you can come to me again at any time."

"Well, it does."

Because I saw that Iris was still sitting in the living room of 101, Shiraishi Rin couldn't keep talking to Ogino Yoshie.

And the cat and mother offered to help her clean up the room, so the two brought Sachiko to Room 102, and quickly rolled up their sleeves to clean.It took about a quarter of an hour to move a few large items that were temporarily unused to the corridor outside, and then quickly wiped the floor and the bed, and replaced them with new sheets.

During this process, Zao saw that Calamus opened the door of Room 101, leaned out half of his body and took a look outside.

"……Is there anything I can do for you?"

"no, I'm fine."

Shiraishi Rin shook his head.

This is not to be polite, but it is really unnecessary, because there is nothing easier to use than [Mind Power] when it comes to moving things.Even things like mopping the floor and changing sheets can be done with mind power, but without training, there is no way to be too precise.

It was also when several people gathered in the corridor and talked.

There was another sound of footsteps approaching outside the apartment building, but it was Yuta Iwata who hurried back from outside with a briefcase, as if he had just got off work from the company.

"Hey, Miss Rin, who are you?"

"It's Iwata-san."

Rin Shiraishi smiled, and introduced a few words: "This is the new tenant who just moved in today. I saw Miss Iris...Iris, this is Mr. Yuta Iwata who lives on the fourth floor. He is very kind. "

The two looked at each other and nodded in greeting.Iwata Yuta also asked a few words "Do you want to help?" After getting a negative answer from Shiraishi Rin, he pointed upstairs: "Okay, then I won't bother you, if you need it, you can Come find me anytime."

"Ok."

Shiraishi Rin nodded with a smile, and also bowed slightly when he saw Calamus early.

Volume 213: Chapter [-] [The Mind is as Calm as Water]

After saying these few polite words, Iwata Yuta turned around and went upstairs.

From the beginning to the end, the tenant with the longest occupancy period did not show any unusual signs, as if he was really just an ordinary office worker.And Rin Shiraishi glanced at Hayami Iris after hearing Iwata Yuta's footsteps walking upstairs and gradually disappearing, he hesitated to speak.

She actually wanted to ask Hayami Iris if she could sense what type of ghost Iwata Yuta belonged to.

Because she has an intuition that these two are relatively similar in nature in terms of ghost species.

But considering that Calamus had just moved in for a day, it was a bit inappropriate to ask such a question, and it would reveal the fact that as a landlord, he had little knowledge of the tenants in the apartment building.So Shiraishi Rin intends to press down the doubts first, and wait for the relationship to become more familiar, at least after getting familiar with the other party's details and temperament.

After Room 102 was cleaned up, Rin Shiraishi walked in with Hayami Iris and told her about the layout of the room and some precautions during the stay.In particular, mention the use of faucets and showers.

As for the air conditioner... 102 is not installed.

And I don't need to see calamus early.

Anyway, as a zombie, his body temperature is estimated to hover around zero all year round, so there is no need for blowing to cool down.Even in summer, she can be used as a humanoid air conditioner.

For ordinary tenants, there is definitely no need to talk about these things, and even if they do, they don't need to be so detailed.

But Zaojian Changpu's identity is special after all. Considering the period when she was active during her lifetime, whether she had a shower or not is a matter of two opinions. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, these things need to be agreed in advance.And Zaojian Acorus did listen very seriously in the process.

In addition, Shiraishi Rin did not forget to ask Hayami Iris about "diet" in a casual tone.

"Although it's a bit presumptuous, but... Ms. Calamus, do you have any taboos or special requirements in terms of diet?"

"Or, do you know how to cook? There is no kitchen utensils in this room. If you want to eat, you can come to me for a few days?"

Shiraishi Rin stared at Hayami Iris's expression, and asked in a deliberate tone.

She identified Hayami Iris's zombie identity through the tasks issued by the system and the characteristics she observed, but the latter did not take the initiative to disclose this, so it is not easy to point it out rashly.And what she said now, in a sense, is already a hint. If I saw that Calamus was more sensitive, it would not be difficult to guess the fact that her identity has been known.

"..."

A moment of silence.

Under the gaze of Shiraishi Rin, Zao saw Acorus gave her a cold look, and then slowly said: "Actually, for us...zombies, food is not a necessity for survival. If it is to improve cultivation, Other living things besides humans are also effective, but usually not as effective as human blood..."

"understood."

Shiraishi Rin nodded.

It was a bit beyond her expectation to see Calamus' self-proclaimed identity so straightforwardly. She originally thought that the two sides might have to play charades for a few more days.

But this is also good, at least it shows that I saw that Calamus's trust in her had risen a little bit, and she was not as careful as she was at the beginning.

And the answer of this zombie lady also shows that the plan of live chicken and duck blood can start to be implemented.

Although Shiraishi Rin's own money is needed to purchase these things, but when he comes to give them as gifts to Hayami Iris, he can gain some favorability points, which is equivalent to buying favorability points with the price of meat products, which is not too bad a loss.

It's just that I hired a tenant by myself, and I still have to pay a penny of the rent, which is a bit weird no matter how I think about it...

That night, Hayami Iris stayed in the apartment.

Considering that she didn't bring any luggage when she came from Naruto Hospital, um... To be precise, she didn't even bring her "ID card". aid station.So Shiraishi Rin took a batch of spare toiletries from himself, and by the way, found some clothes that he didn't usually wear, and sent them to Hayami Acorus.

Of course, lingerie is not included...

After all, like that kind of close-fitting clothes, even if I saw Calamus early and didn't mind, Shiraishi Rin would not be able to give it away.

I always feel that it is a bit weird to give the underwear I have worn to others, even if the clothes have been washed all the same...

I can only wait until the day after tomorrow, and then find time to go out and buy.

After returning from 102 again, Shiraishi Rin asked Asakura Hana a few words about what happened in room 101 when she went to Ogino's house just now.

"Huh? I saw calamus looking at black and white oranges just now?"

Listening to Hanakura Asakura's description, Rin Shiraishi turned his attention to the three kittens who were still shivering in the corner of the wall, and imagined what happened just now.

Seeing the calamus's intention early...shouldn't it be to eat these three little things?

After all, cats and cats are so cute. Even if I saw that Calamus was a zombie, the zombie was transformed from a human. It stands to reason that there is still some humanity left in the body.Besides, the orange cat, the largest of the three black, white and orange kittens, is not as big as the adult wild cats outside, and the blood in his body is not a few liters at all. Even if he wants to drink blood, he should drink the wild cats outside...

But I want to return to think so.

When Shiraishi Rin confirmed the situation with the three black, white and orange kittens, he still felt an inexplicable panic from them.

The last time a similar situation happened was when Huali Qiancang just emerged from the bloody clothes and appeared in the living room of 101.And even that time, it was much more relaxed than now.

"In the future, let's install some monitoring equipment in the apartment building..."

"Or put [the third eye] somewhere in the corridor, so that it can be taken care of when there is no one at home, so that you can know what happens if something happens..."

The concealment of [the third eye] is good. Rin Shiraishi has tried it several times, as long as he does not keep staring at someone, it is difficult to be noticed.The big deal is to customize a bunch of handicrafts that look exactly like [The Third Eye] on the Internet, and string them as wind chimes in the corridor of the apartment, so that they won't attract too much attention from others.

Rin Shiraishi replayed all the things that happened today in his mind, went to the bathroom to wash up, and went back to bed.

She still has one thing to do today——

[You have completed the mission: The two corpses of Sendagaya, and you have obtained the mission reward: special skill [calm like water (passive)]]

Volume 214: Chapter [-] A Troubled Girl Who Runs Away From Home?

[The mind is as calm as water (passive): By lowering one's heartbeat and body temperature, the breath and vitality are reduced to a minimum, so that one can endure hunger for a long time and survive in a relatively extreme environment]

This task completion prompt appeared after I saw Changpu sign the occupancy contract earlier.

It seems that in the judgment of the system, taking her back to the apartment as a tenant can be regarded as "proper handling".

As for this passive skill, if you only look at its own description, it is quite consistent with Hayami Iris, because the latter, as a zombie, does not have a heartbeat, and does not even need breathing and metabolism.In Naruto Hospital before, Shiraishi Rin's [Fox Sensation] felt very weak breath when scanning her, probably because of the feature of "minimizing the sense of presence" attached to this skill.

But for Shiraishi Rin, a human being...
