My tenants are monsters

But now the problem is...

Mizunuma Mimiko at this time... No, to be precise, it was the chapter updated last night, because the time stamp on the webpage clearly marked this point, but Asakura Hanagi, as a reader, just saw it.So, what does it mean for this otaku manga artist to draw such a story?

coincidence?

Or is it meant to be?

If the stories described in this comic are true, then things are already obvious—in Shiraishi Rin’s cognition, there is only one person who has the identity of a centipede monster, and that is the one who lives in Room 303 of Shiraishi’s apartment. A hundred-legged treasure! !

The murderer...it turned out to be the centipede spirit in his apartment! ?

Volume 277: Chapter [-] Do you have any clue?

Shiraishi Rin squeezed slightly with his fingers holding the phone case, but his thoughts were uncertain.

If this centipede monster is really the culprit behind the mysterious disappearance of Momo Yamamoto and others...

Then what is his purpose in doing this?

Among the ghosts and monsters, there are quite a few who like to rape and plunder human girls. For example, the famous Dajiangshan ghost king Shuten Doji in the Heian period had this hobby, and he would directly kill the plundered girls after playing, but now this time Events are clearly a little different.Judging from Shiraishi Rin's understanding of Bai Zu Da Zang, and the various performances of this guy in the past few months living in the apartment, he doesn't look like a person who is greedy for beauty.

Besides, not all the three missing people were girls.

And if this reason is excluded, the only reason why Bai Zu Da Zang can attack a few humans is...

eat human?

This possibility made Shiraishi Rin shudder a little.

But it is the most reasonable explanation, because there are precedents for Centipede Dazang to eat people. Although it was Matsumoto Yoshiyasu who came to Shiraishi's apartment to make trouble, there is no evidence that Centapeda Dazang only eats these people with bad behavior. , this kind of character, you can't see it just by looking at it.

Shiraishi Rin wandered a few steps in the corridor of the police station, a little hesitant.

Mitsui Shouichi next to her noticed the change in her face, but he didn't associate the matter with Baizu Dazang—after all, he didn't know Baizu Dazang either, so he thought it was something else, so he smiled and said:

"Miss Baishi, did something happen at home? If you have other things to deal with, you can go back and deal with them first. We will continue to investigate the clues of these serial disappearances when we have time.

Anyway, basically all the methods that can be used now have been used, and no useful information has been obtained, has it? "

"...Alright."

Shiraishi Rin originally wanted to talk about Baizu Dazang, but changed his words temporarily when the words came to his lips.

In the final analysis, Mimiko Mizunuma's comics are just comics and cannot be used as conclusive evidence.Besides, the girl didn't know that she and Hana Asakura knew about her drawing and publishing comics on the Internet, so there was no reason to provide her with clues to solve the case.If you want to know whether all these are related, you need to have a face-to-face meeting with Mimiko Mizunuma.

If this series of cases was really created by Baizu Dazang...

I'm afraid Shiraishi Rin can only take some extraordinary measures.

Originally, if these tenants in the apartment were only doing things to those who committed the most crimes, such as Matsumoto Yoshiyasu before, or people like Kumamoto and Matsutani Nobuko, then Shiraishi Rin could also turn a blind eye and close one eye as I don't know, anyway, these guys all have damning reasons, even according to the law, more than half of them should be sentenced to death-whether they execute it or not is another matter.

but……

Momo Yamamoto should not belong to the damn ranks.

And if it is really picking fish who have slipped through the net and committed some crimes, it is unlikely to be so intensive.Therefore, if Baizu Dazang is really killing people indiscriminately, then Shiraishi Rin probably can only ask him to leave the apartment, or conduct a trial on him as a human "exorcist".

There is no need to involve Mitsui Shouichi and the others in these matters. With the abilities of these guys, facing a monster at the level of Mozuzu Dazang may only lead to death.

Because of this, Shiraishi Rin temporarily held back the idea of ​​explaining, pretending that nothing happened, and was taken back to Shiraishi's apartment in Minami Senju [-]-chome by a police car.

After getting out of the car, Shiraishi Rin looked up at the high-rise windows of the apartment building before stepping into the gate.

[Trigger special task]

[The manga artist who draws death: The manga drawn by the tenant of Room 204, Mimiko Mizunuma, seems to be inextricably linked to the real murder case, you decide to explore the origin of this relationship]

……

When stepping into the apartment building this time, Shiraishi Rin's footsteps were a little heavy, and he felt a little uneasy.Fortunately, when she came to the corridor entrance on the second floor and walked along the corridor to the door of 204, Baizu Dazang did not appear.

Shiraishi Rin took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

After about ten seconds.

Mimiko Mizunuma opened the door: "?"

"Miss Mimiko, I have something to talk to you about."

Mimiko Mizunuma obviously didn't expect Shiraishi Rin's arrival, but because of her consistent character, she didn't show a surprised expression at this time.He just stepped aside slightly, and after Shiraishi Rin came in, he closed the door, and waited silently for her to speak first.

Shiraishi Rin considered his tone, and then slowly said: "The thing is like this, I recently saw a comic on the Internet..."

"Then just a few days ago on Christmas Day, a case of disappearance occurred in [-]-chome, almost at the same time, and there were two other cases..."

"So, I want to come over and ask Mimiko, do you have any clue about these things?"

"..."

To be honest, this topic is actually difficult to cut into, because Mimiko Mizunuma has never revealed her identity as a horror manga artist from the beginning, and it is Shiraishi who connects the manga artist Hana Asakura accidentally discovered with her. Rin's subjective assumption has no conclusive evidence.

So in Shiraishi Rin's mind, he may need to spend some more time talking.

And in fact... it is.

After Shiraishi Rin finished talking, Mimiko Mizunuma didn't answer, but looked at her silently, so Shiraishi Rin had to explain the process of guessing her identity as a manga artist again.

This time, Mimiko Mizunuma continued to be silent for a while before slowly opening her mouth: "The manga you read was drawn by me."

"The stories told in the comics also happened in real life. Because, I have a special ability to 'see' certain things that I have not personally experienced, and then record them in the form of scrolls."

"Eh?"

Rin Shiraishi judged intuitively that Mimiko Mizunuma might not be telling the truth.

In other words, the explanations she just said should not be completely true, and the main difference lies in Mimiko Mizunuma's description of her abilities. The phrase "seeing things that you haven't personally experienced" is a bit too general.

"Then, Mimiko, do you know the real identities of the missing persons in the manga you drew? Also, is the murderer you drew in the plot just..."

Volume 278: Chapter [-] Moulting?

When he said this, Shiraishi Rin's voice paused, and he looked up at the ceiling above his head.

Although she didn't directly mention the name of Mozuku Dazou, her current gaze is clearly pointing to 303, and since the previous manga were drawn by Mimiko Mizunuma, she should know the situation of Momozuda Dazou very well, so even if she doesn't To directly point out, both parties should also be in a state of tacit understanding.

really.

Under Shiraishi Rin's gaze, Mimiko Mizunuma was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly nodded: "That's right, it's him."

"..."

Bai Shilin opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

The expected situation has been confirmed, but the worst situation has also appeared.

When she saw Mimiko Mizunuma's manga before, she had already expected this result, but when it was confirmed from Mimiko's mouth, Shiraishi Rin's mood was still a little delicate.

In fact, she had been worried about this kind of thing for a long time—probably when she just learned that there are many ghosts in this world, and there are several ghosts and monsters renting in her apartment.But after such a long time of living in peace, she relaxed her vigilance. She did not expect that at this unexpected time, the time bomb finally exploded.

Although this incident did not happen between the tenants, considering that one of them was an ordinary person, it was actually similar to a fight between the tenants.

It seems that the fight between the tenants should not be within the management scope of the apartment. The protection of Shiraishi Apartment is only effective for Shiraishi Rin, who is the owner of the house.

Of course……

Mimiko Mizunuma's "identification" is not necessarily 100% accurate, but in the absence of other ideas, Shiraishi Rin can only use it as a reference, wondering if it is time to confront Baizu Dazang face to face.

However, before implementing this idea, some issues need to be considered clearly.

The first is the motivation of Baizu Dazang.

It would be fine if there was a reason for the incident, or if there were some personal grievances. It is not uncommon for Shiraishi Rin to encounter similar situations.

But if it was really to satisfy the appetite, and then it happened to be eaten by someone who was related to the tenant in Baishi's apartment, then this matter must not be good.And although he doesn't know the strength of Baizu Dazang very well, Shiraishi Rin knows very well that once he fights with this guy, the scene will definitely not be small, and it may be more difficult than all the opponents he has encountered before.

Rin Shiraishi thought about it for a while, but still felt unsure, so he went to Ogino Yoshie first, and told the mother Maomata about the information and plans he had obtained so far.

"..."

The expression on Ogino Yoshie's face was a little cloudy, until Shiraishi Rin finished speaking, and after a while, he sighed softly and said: "I have probably heard about the situation from Sachiko and Huali before, but I didn't expect it to happen. something like this happened..."

"The situation of Baizu Dazang, I can probably guess a little bit, he may be in the stage of shedding his skin recently."

"molt?"

Shiraishi frowned slightly.

Ogino Yoshie nodded, and explained in a calm tone: "Yes, centipede-like creatures have the habit of shedding their skin, even if they become monsters.

During the moulting period, the monster power in the monster's body will become very unstable, which is reflected in the appearance of disordered breath, uncontrollable signs of chapped skin, and aggression and desire to eat will also increase significantly, because they need to pass fresh Blood food to supplement the various consumptions during the moulting period, so..."

"So, he focused on Momo Yamamoto, who often appeared near the apartment, and the other victims, right..."

Shiraishi Rin sighed lightly.

How should I put it, as she thought before, if Bai Zu Da Zang only targets those who have committed the most heinous crimes, such as going to prisons to find criminals who have been sentenced to death, or going to the headquarters of cult organizations and violent groups, then how much will you eat? Individuals also eat it, and rounding it up can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

But attacking these innocent ordinary people is a bit over the bottom line, which Shiraishi Rin cannot tolerate.

Especially people who are related to Baishi Apartment.

Yamamoto had followed Takaichi Shimizu to the Shiraishi apartment many times before. Even if Baizu Dazang didn't care about the movement downstairs, at least he should have heard Yamamoto's voice.Rabbits know not to eat the grass beside their nests, but this guy chooses to do so, which is really a bit excessive, even on purpose.

(Could it not be that Mozuku Dazo deliberately chose to attack Momo Yamamoto because he was disturbed by the sound made by Takaichi Shimizu and others who often played in the apartment?)

This somewhat absurd thought suddenly popped up in Shiraishi Rin's mind.

In retrospect, Baizu Dazang was indeed not very happy when she came to the other tenants to tell the other tenants about the "disturbance" of Takaichi Shimizu and others during that time.But she never imagined that the latter would attack Shimizu Takaichi's classmates for this reason.

And the current problem is not only a problem between the two tenants, Baizu Dazang and Qingshui Takaichi.Even Mimiko Mizunuma was indirectly involved.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Takaichi Shimizu did not know the truth about the disappearance case, and Momozu Dazo did not know the fact that Mimiko described his cannibalism in the manga, so there is a bit of information gap.Otherwise, if these tenants fight again, it is not impossible for the whole Baishi apartment to be turned upside down by them.

After deliberating for a while, Shiraishi Rin still planned to go to Baizu Dazang to confront him in person according to the idea just now.

Anyway, the latter is still her tenant now, so theoretically she can't kill her. If there is a fight, it's just a good time to take this opportunity to verify how the apartment's protection mechanism works for her.

And if you are lucky enough not to fight, then find a way to discuss it through an interview to see if you can persuade Baizu Dazang to "surrender".However, the chances of this result appearing... are very small.

Seeing Rin Shiraishi get up, Yoshie Ogino also stood up, "Xiao Rin, let me go with you this time, if something really happens, I can help."

"This one……"

Shiraishi Rin actually didn't want to involve the Ogino mother and daughter.
