My tenants are monsters

When seeing the familiar scenery appearing in the field of vision, Shiraishi Rin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Nogi Maki next to her said with a smile: "It's almost time to arrive at your house, Xiao Lin. Rest as soon as possible after you go back. I've been quite tired these two days. After a few days, after you come back from West Tama County, I'll come back to you again." Come and hang out with you."

"Well, Maki, you should go home early too, don't delay outside. See you in a few days."

Shiraishi Rin nodded, and also told Nogi Maki a few words.

After the bus pulled over at the intersection not far from Shiraishi's apartment, Rin Shiraishi stood up with her schoolbag in her hand, waved goodbye to Nogi Maki, then stood at the intersection of [-]-chome and waited for a while, watching the bus turn around After walking far away again, he turned and walked towards his apartment.

At this time, there were no pedestrians on the road.

The lights were also sparse, and the road was lined with patches of woods, tall trees blocking the moonlight falling from the sky.

Shiraishi Rin took a careful look around on the way back, and felt that there was no change from the time before he left two days ago.

Go all the way to the door of the apartment.

Shiraishi Rin had just stepped into the corridor, and before he had time to take out the key to open the door, he heard a few noises from Room 103 next to him. As the door opened, a ray of light poured out, and Sachiko poked his head out from inside, showing He said in surprise, "Sister Rin, are you back?"

"It's Sachiko, yes, I just came back from outside, nothing happened in the apartment in the past few days, right?"

Shiraishi Rin continued to open the door while talking.

After she opened the door and entered the house, Sachiko followed him briskly, tiptoed to help press the light switch in the living room.

The blazing white light was turned on, dispelling the darkness in the room, and the three kittens who were sleeping in the cat nest also raised their heads in due time, and opened their mouths one by one, meowing.Among them, the little black cat with the liveliest personality even jumped out of the nest, and rubbed against Shiraishi Rin and Sachiko's feet, looking very intimate.

Sachiko squatted down and touched the little black cat's head, then rubbed its stomach, and then answered Shiraishi Rin's question crisply: "No, the apartment has been calm all this time, and nothing special has happened. things. My mother and I have basically been at home recently, so we shouldn’t miss anything.”

"Really...that's fine."

One of Ogino's mother and daughter is a school doctor, and the other is a junior high school student. They usually work or go to school in Otowa Academy, and this period of time is also during the winter vacation for Otowa Academy, so there is nothing wrong for the mother and daughter to come. There is plenty of time in the apartment.Since Sachiko said she didn't find any abnormality, then there should be nothing abnormal.

However, out of caution, Shiraishi Rin still asked a few more questions about the recent movements of the tenants.

For this, Xingzi thought for a while, and answered one by one: "I saw that my sister basically never went out, but two days ago, when I went to feed the cats at Sister Rin's place, she came to see Xiao Hei once. On the second floor Sister Shuangdao went out this afternoon, she seemed to be in a hurry, at that time, my mother and I happened to meet her in the corridor, and asked casually, it seemed that she was going to Shizuoka County..."

"Shizuoka Prefecture?"

Bai Shilin was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Misato Shimoshima mentioned before that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will send personnel to the Izu Peninsula to help deal with the aftermath of the spider spirit incident. It seems that the person sent out is Misato Shimoshima herself.This trip is considered a long way, and it is estimated that it will be good to come back within three or two days.

As for those upstairs...

Iwata Yuta still commutes to and from get off work as usual, after all, this person works as an insurance salesman, there is no such thing as a winter vacation.Mimiko Mizunuma still lives in seclusion, drawing at home.Only Centipede Dazang...

According to Sachiko's recollection, Mozuda seemed to have gone out yesterday evening, but his whereabouts were unknown, and he didn't hear the latter's voice coming back from outside afterwards. I don't know if he is at home now.

"I understand. Anyway, thank you, Sachiko, leave the rest of the matter to me, and I will find a way to confirm it one by one."

While speaking, Shiraishi Rin "reviewed" what [the third eye] saw again.

Before going to the Izu Peninsula, she left this thing on the corridor on the first floor of the Shiraishi apartment to observe the movement in the apartment.But when I was in Izu City before, because the distance was too far, Shiraishi Rin could not receive the information from [the third eye] in real time, so I didn't start to read the content I saw before until I came back this time.

Volume 269: Chapter [-] Smells like Sister Nogi?

This operation is a bit like retrieving surveillance video.

However, it is different from ordinary surveillance, which is played in the camera, but directly presented in Shiraishi Rin's mind, and the screening speed can also be adjusted according to her thoughts.

Considering that it would take too long to read all the pictures seen in these three days and two nights frame by frame, Shiraishi Rin quickly "pressed" the fast forward button.

It took a few minutes for Shiraishi Rin to review the experience of the past few days, and focused his attention on yesterday evening, when he found that the figure of Baizu Dazang flashed from the camera at a certain moment Pass.Because the speed is so fast, if the [third eye]'s dynamic visual capture ability is not good enough, it may not be possible to distinguish his appearance at all.

"This guy... came back from outside? But when did he go out?"

Rin Shiraishi pulled the screen to the front and looked carefully, but he didn't find the picture of Baizu Dazang going out, so he could only guess that this guy might not have walked through the main entrance, but jumped directly from the window or somewhere, so he was not caught by [Part [-]] Three eyes] see.

Moreover, judging from the scene in the camera, the time when this guy came back from outside was still at midnight, and visually it should be between twelve o'clock in the evening and two o'clock in the morning.

——It’s hard to say exactly what time it is, because Shiraishi Rin didn’t install an electronic clock in the corridor.

"It's so late, where did this guy go?"

"Should...nothing special happen, right?"

Bai Shilin pondered for a moment in his heart, and planned to go upstairs to have a look later.

But after glancing at the wall clock on the living room wall, she changed her mind:

"Forget it, it's better to go tomorrow."

After all, it was very late at this point in time, whether it was going to visit Baizu Dazang, or taking several other tenants to visit together, it was not appropriate.Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, Shiraishi Lin felt relieved, and prepared to wash up and go to bed early.

However, I have to pack up my luggage first. Some clothes that were changed yesterday because I was worried that they would not dry after washing also need to be packed up and thrown into the washing machine.

Shiraishi Rin took off the coat on his body, rolled up his sleeves, quickly opened the suitcase with his hands and feet, and began to organize his clothes as he thought just now.

After she threw all the clothes that should be washed into the washing machine, unscrewed the water switch, and returned to the living room, she noticed that Sachiko was still sitting here and did not leave.

After a little hesitation, Shiraishi Rin asked, "Sachiko, are you still going back? Aunt Fanghui should be anxious at home, right? Besides, it's getting late now, it's better for children to go to bed early, otherwise it may be possible The president is not tall."

"Eh? This... I'm not a child anymore."

Sachiko scratched her head, first she justified herself, and then stuck out her tongue: "I haven't seen Sister Rin for a long time, I want to stay here for a while, I told my mother when I came out just now ...Why don't I sleep with Sister Rin tonight, I don't think my mother will mind."

"what?"

Bai Shilin was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "It's only been two and a half days since I saw you, so it's not a 'long time', and I don't have the habit of sharing the same bed with others..."

"But sister Rin clearly smells like sister Nogi."

Sachiko twitched her nostrils a few times, sniffed, and said.

"?"

This kind of thing...can you smell it?

Rin Shiraishi subconsciously recalled the experience he had had in the Izu Peninsula a few days ago, and he didn't know how to respond to Sachiko's words now.

She had indeed "shared the same bed" with Nogi Maki in the previous two nights, and she also soaked in hot springs and ran through spider nests together. The number of contacts was indeed more frequent and more intimate... But before returning by bus today , I have taken a bath, so it stands to reason that there should be no "smell" problem.

perhaps……

Is it because of sitting side by side on the bus, the smell of shampoo or facial cleanser on Maki Nogi?

This possibility is not impossible, but Shiraishi Rin always felt a little weird after listening to Sachiko's description.

At that moment, Shiraishi Rin said a few words, and finally dispelled Sachiko's idea of ​​asking to stay overnight, and then sent the little girl all the way to 103 next door. After watching her open the door, she returned to her room and teased black and white for a while. Orange three kittens, and then rolled up their sleeves, ready to take a bath and go to bed.

It was a deep sleep.

It wasn't until the next morning when a lot of sunlight poured in from the half-closed curtains, illuminating a small half of the room, that Shiraishi Rin opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at the time on the phone, and then After lying on the bed for a while, he took a deep breath and sat up, stretching long.

"It finally feels like a vacation..."

Shiraishi Rin hadn't felt the comfort of sleeping until she woke up naturally for a long time. For a moment, she even wanted to lie back and sleep until noon, and then get up directly for lunch.But under rational persuasion, he finally dispelled this lazy idea, and prepared to get up and get some breakfast to fill his stomach, and then think about what to do in the next day.

There are still two days until New Year's Day.

According to Shiraishi Rin's plan, he planned to take a trip to Nishitama County in these two days to visit his aunt Kawasaki Ryumi who lived there.

The distance between Nishitama and downtown Tokyo is not too far, and it is closer than going to the Izu Peninsula. Even if you add the time for transfers, two hours are more than enough. You can stay there for one night, or go there on the same day. Come back quickly, just in time to celebrate the New Year here.

With this intention in mind, Shiraishi Rin called his aunt after breakfast.

After time travelling, she has not met this aunt, but she has called her aunt several times, with an average of one or two calls per month, so she still has some understanding of the latter's personality.On the phone, Kawasaki Ryumi greeted her for a while as she did in the previous two calls, and then asked her if she had any plans to return to Nishitama County for the New Year.

"...I plan to go back tomorrow and visit you."

Shiraishi Rin said tentatively.

Kawasaki Ryumi was taken aback for a moment, and soon there was a little surprise in her tone: "Really, is it morning or afternoon, do you need me to pick you up?"

"No, I'll just go there by myself. Anyway, you can take the bus directly after leaving the tram station. It's quite convenient to get to your place." Shiraishi Rin said with a light smile.

"……OK then."

Volume 270: Chapter [-] Someone...has been here?

Kawasaki Ryumi's personality is a bit close to that of a good old man. After Shiraishi Rin clearly expressed her plan, the aunt did not continue to persuade, but quickly nodded and agreed, and then asked a few words about Shiraishi Rin's plan. When will it go, almost when will it arrive.

However, Shiraishi Rin was a little unsure about these two questions.

Because she has never been to Nishitama County from Tokyo.

The predecessor came from Nishitama County this summer, and has been living in Tokyo since then, without going back.Although it is nominally the same line to come and go back, considering that Dongying’s subway line is inherently convoluted, it is different from Huaxia’s unified operation by a company, and different lines can be seamlessly connected. Dongying’s tram lines are divided by several companies. Operation, the transfer between each other is quite cumbersome.

So it's hard to predict exactly how long the journey will take.

Shiraishi Rin can only guarantee that he will try his best to choose to set off in the morning, and told Kawasaki Ryumi not to prepare anything special for his arrival.

It would be too embarrassing if the aunt made some hearty meals and she didn't arrive at the appointed time.

After discussing for a few more words, the two hung up the phone one after another.

Shiraishi Rin is going to go out to buy a la carte.Because she was going to go out for a camp a few days ago, in order to avoid the expiration of vegetables and meat, she ate up all the ingredients at home in advance, and did not purchase them in time.When I come back now, I naturally need to buy a batch, at least to ensure that I can have food at noon and evening today.

By the way, she also intends to check the situation of the tenants upstairs, especially whether Baizu Dazang from 303 has returned.Although the probability of the situation is not high, but in special seasons, it is better to be as cautious as possible.

After tidying up briefly, Rin Shiraishi took his wallet and went out.

This time, Sachiko didn't hear the sound, and the corridor was empty.

Rin Shiraishi stood at the door for a while, glanced in the direction of 102, hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the apartment, and then walked all the way to the [-]-chome department store.

After buying vegetables in the mall and turning back, Shiraishi Rin noticed a patrol car near the intersection of the [-]-chome intersection, and two policemen were asking the owner of a convenience store on the roadside, one of them Still holding a pen and paper to take notes.

"...Is something going to happen again?"

Out of professional sensitivity, Shiraishin paused and looked over there suspiciously.

But he didn't take it too seriously.

In a big city like Tokyo with high population density, high turnover of people, and insufficient surveillance coverage, no less than hundreds of people disappear in every corner of the city every day, some of which are related to the spiritual level, while others are due to Various human factors, such as homicides, kidnappings, etc., are not necessarily related to ghosts.

In fact, a considerable part, or even more than [-]%, of the "Shenyin Incident" handed down from ancient Japan was attributed to man-made disasters.Because Dongying itself is a country with many mountains, most of the people in ancient times were mountain people. As long as a child is stolen and climbed over a mountain, it may not be found for a lifetime. Therefore, the "Shenyin" phenomenon was formed. A special social phenomenon.

Of course, there are also examples of being taken away by "gods" or monsters, but the proportion of them is actually not high, which is essentially a small probability event.

After a few glances, Rin Shiraishi looked away, and went home with the ingredients he had bought.

First wash the rice, cook it in the pot, and then go to 102 again.
