Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 660: The Smell of Gunpowder Is Too Strong

Manager Mao Li Zhishu's right hand pointed toward the first table on the left."First up, Huang Kaiyu!"

Just like the previous rounds, the newly arrived lab rats were all arranged at the first table.

Among them was Jiang Ran, serving as assistant manager.

Also present was Manager Wu Meiling.

At the first table, Huang Kaiyu heard his name called.

He stood up.

His expression was as cold as ever.

After standing, he first glanced at a young man named Huo Yun at the third table. The young man shot him a friendly look.

That gave him some confidence.

Then he began his self-introduction:

"Hello everyone, my name is Huang Kaiyu. I'm a delivery rider by profession."

"I don't have many hobbies. I usually just take in a lot of stray cats and dogs. If any of you have kind hearts, you can donate some cat or dog food. Consider it building up good karma."

Huang Kaiyu paused here, then added, "That's all for my self-introduction."

With that, he coldly prepared to sit down.

Just then, a young man from one of the tables in the activity room suddenly spoke up, "You take in a lot of stray cats and dogs?"

Huang Kaiyu, who had been halfway to sitting, straightened himself back up. "That's right."

The young man: "In simple terms, raising so many cats and dogs is a heavy financial burden for you, isn't it?"

Huang Kaiyu nodded. "Raising this many stray cats and dogs, just the daily food costs alone are a pretty shocking number."

The young man: "I personally like cats and dogs too. Donating out of kindness is no problem for me. But I want to ask, could I adopt one through you? I've always wanted a little cat. A tuxedo cat would be perfect."

The young man flashed a smile at Huang Kaiyu.

People often say you can't judge a book by its cover.

People also often say the face reveals the heart.

Putting these two sayings together is downright contradictory.

Despite this young man's friendly smile, his facial features didn't look like those of a good person. Rather, he looked like a villain.

"Sure, of course. Being able to find a stray cat or dog its own home not only relieves my burden but also gives it a good home."

"But I do have one requirement for adopters."

The young man said, "What requirement?"

Huang Kaiyu spoke slowly, "Send me photos once every half month so I know how the adopted cat or dog is doing."

"After all, there are too many people abusing cats and dogs these days. I have to be cautious."

The young man frowned. "Do I look like someone who abuses cats and dogs?"

Huang Kaiyu: "I didn't say that. Just reminding."

The young man: "If—I'm saying if—you find out that the person who adopted your stray cat or dog is a sadist who abused it to death, what would you do?"

Faced with this situation, what would he do?

It would be hard to handle in Hua Country.

Because Hua Country has no specific Animal Cruelty Law.

So the best outcome would be:

A fine, detention for a dozen days, compensation paid to the original owner.

At this moment, Jiang Ran, sitting at the first table, listened to this exchange and recalled many exposés of cat abusers he'd seen online.

But in the end, nothing seemed to happen to those cat abusers.

Only the stray cats and dogs got hurt.

Huang Kaiyu answered calmly, "If someone adopts a stray cat or dog from me and doesn't take good care of it, tortures it to death..."

"I will seek justice for that cat or dog."

The young man drawled, "Oh? Justice? What counts as justice?"

Huang Kaiyu's gaze sharpened. "An eye for an eye."

After these words, the temperature in the entire activity room seemed to drop by several degrees.

Especially the thick tension between Huang Kaiyu and that young man, growing heavier by the second.

It was Manager Mao Li Zhishu who, seeing the situation going wrong, quickly interjected to extinguish the potential sparks of conflict and hurriedly called for the second new resident, Yang Qi, to introduce himself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yang Qi."

A smiling young man stood up.

"Sure, of course. Being able to find a stray cat or dog its own home not only relieves my burden but also gives it a good home."

Yesterday, Jiang Ran had bought a new suitcase online and compensated him with it.

Even though Yang Qi refused, he eventually accepted it.

"I'm a deliveryman at Flash Express. If anyone needs to send packages in the future, you can find me. I'll give you a dollar or two off."

"Also, I often spend my free time volunteering at our local orphanage. I hope everyone can pay more attention to the orphans there and actively contribute their kindness."

He and the previous Huang Kaiyu were complete opposites.

Huang Kaiyu had a cold face and cold words.

He had a smiling face and smiling words.

After giving slight bows in different directions, he sat down.

Manager Mao Li Zhishu was about to call the third person's name when he was suddenly interrupted.

"I'm buzzed! How come the new residents moving in this time are either a deliveryman or a courier?"

"One takes in stray cats and dogs, asking us to show kindness."

"The other goes to orphanages, asking us to pay more attention to orphans and show kindness."

"You two are truly a perfect match!"

The speaker was the young man who had interacted with Huang Kaiyu earlier.

The young man's words were heavily laced with gunpowder.

Yang Qi could have ignored him, but he still stood up and said with a smile:

"Showing kindness and doing good deeds for vulnerable groups is something to be praised."

"Whether the target is human or animal, it's a reflection of humanity's compassion."

After he finished, he sat back down.

The young man just gave a cold snort and dropped it.

After Yang Qi, Manager Mao Li Zhishu called for the third person, Li Shumu, to stand up and introduce himself.

Li Shumu first stuffed several hot dumplings into his mouth before hurriedly standing up.

When he opened his mouth, it was all leek smell.

But that didn't affect his speech.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Shumu. I'm a criminal psychologist."

At the words "criminal psychologist,"

The activity room fell into dead silence instantly.

Everyone currently in the activity room had been captured outside before being sent to Alice Apartment.

Ordinary people rarely encounter criminal psychologists.

But many people here had seen them after their arrests.

Not only had they seen various so-called criminal psychology experts, but they had also seen journalists come to interview them.

So when someone suddenly revealed themselves to be in this profession, it was surprising, if not extremely shocking.

Li Shumu wasn't done yet:

"The reason I'm here is simple. Someone told me that this apartment might be hiding the kind of deranged criminals, serial killers, and murderers you can only see in news, novels, and movies."

"So, I'm here to catch these people."

He chuckled, "If anyone finds such people, you can tell me. If the situation is confirmed, there will be a monetary reward."

Then he swept his gaze across the room, as if trying to spot who might be the person he was looking for.

This criminal psychologist probably never imagined that, besides the lab rats like Jiang Ran sitting at the first table with him,

Every other resident in the entire activity room was exactly the kind of people he was talking about catching.

And his words caused various reactions among many in the activity room.
