Free morning, own residence, unexpected guests.
The three words come together to form Baisu's experience after getting up today.
So, why are things like this?
Bai Su's eyes were empty, his hands were clasped in front of his nose, and his upper lip was just there. He was sitting on the sofa. The soft sofa did not bring him the usual comfort.
There were two women sitting on his left and right, one he knew well and one he had just met.
Wang Muying, who was sitting on his right, kept looking forward with curious eyes open.
After watching for a while, she leaned to the left in a low voice and asked: "Xiao Bai, who is this..."
Bai Su remained silent. If possible, he would also like to know.
Things go back to yesterday.
He bumped into Xia Chengyin at the door of community worker Xiao Jiang's ward yesterday, and the two chatted for a while at the door.
Xia Chengyin just came to confirm whether Bai Su was a participant in the incident. After discovering that he was just an innocent person who provided the place where he fainted, his vigilance was no longer so high.
Bai Su: "?"
Xia Chengyin: "You must be somewhat self-aware. Your accident constitution is partly to blame, especially——"
Bai Su: "Especially?"
Xia Chengyin: "Ahem, forget it, it's nothing. If you want to go in and see someone, do it as soon as possible. He will have an examination later."
Having said that, Bai Su was not in a hurry to enter.
Through the window at the door, he could see the familiar community worker lying on the hospital bed, breathing steadily and closing his eyes, probably asleep.
He had to wake people up when he went in now, so he just came to confirm the situation, and he could just watch from outside.
Community worker Xiao Jiang's overall state is indeed consistent with that of the sick Tuochuan employee.
It can even be said that the patients on this entire ward have the same disease.
Bai Su could see this, but he didn't intend to say it directly.
Saying it directly would be too obvious and would lead to a series of questions.
Human beings are always insatiably curious and will investigate things that can be understood at a glance.
He could see it at a glance, how could he explain it to humans?
Bai Su, who didn't want to put another label on himself just yet, thought about it and asked the community worker Xiao Jiang about his physical condition.
Although he could get an answer by asking the medical staff, Xia Chengyin still chatted with him.
"I'm not sure when I can be discharged from the hospital. It seems to be getting worse at the moment..." The short-haired police officer shook his head, somewhat pessimistically, "You have to ask the attending physician for details."
"Well..." Bai Su looked into the ward, a dark light flashing in his eyes, "Speaking of which, I also saw a person with similar symptoms in that Tuochuan company yesterday."
After hearing this, Xia Chengyin asked for his name, and Bai Su also reported it truthfully.
After that, the short-haired police officer frowned, and the phrase "Why is it you again?" repeatedly echoed in his mind.
After a while, he clarified his thoughts: "That is to say, you were a party to the incident where the police were dispatched in the department yesterday, and you also saw a person with the same symptoms in the company in Tuochuan, but the person had been arrested by someone in Tuochuan. It was taken?"
Xia Chengyin thought, he just worked overtime and stayed overnight in the hospital for a day, why did so many things happen in the department?
The short-haired police officer turned his back and picked up his phone to check something. When he turned around again, his expression was unpredictable.
Xia Chengyin's understanding of Bai Su's physical condition improved again.
He didn't know what he thought of, and looked Bai Su up and down.
After that, the short-haired police officer’s usual scornful smile reappeared: “That’s it, if that’s the case——”
The human did not say anything, but left in a hurry.
Bai Su also left the hospital after completing the courtesy visit process.
But not long after returning home, he received a new message on his phone.
The news came from the special department, and they told Bai Su directly that he had been drafted into the investigators of the "unexplained attack and exhaustion" incident, and that a liaison officer would come to the door on a certain day.
Bai Su didn't have any objections to the new mission. It just so happened that the red beans, glutinous rice, and mochi were quite delicious, not to mention that humans would give him other rewards.
This is an opportunity to participate openly.
The premise is that this liaison officer did not come to the door the next day, and his identity was very strange.
The person who came here early this morning was Wang Muying.
The landlord's granddaughter made an appointment early to come today to discuss the rent increase.
Because of the addition of a grandmother who is occasionally hospitalized and has to be cared for on a daily basis, the life pressure of the female college student who has not yet graduated has suddenly become a lot more stressful. Although she has worked hard outside of her studies, she is still a little short of money.
So the rent money, which had not changed in several years, came into consideration, and the black-haired girl made an appointment with Bai Su periodically.
Rising rents are understandable.
Bai Su has checked the housing prices nearby. It should be said that human Bai Su has met a good landlord. The price has not increased for so many years, all because of the friendship between humans.
This is partly because the landlord used to have enough money, but now the situation has changed.
But the human girl was still too immature. Her incoherent words, hesitant tone and sad brows all made her a little weaker.
Fortunately, she met Bai Su, a monster who is not so particular. After calculating the balance between various incomes and expenses in the near future, he felt that he could still afford it. At most, he would have to make more noodles a few times, and he agreed. Come down.
Wang Muying breathed a sigh of relief and said that she would prepare a new contract later.
She came to the door and sat there for a short time before settling on the purpose of today's visit. The human girl hesitated for a while and asked her if she could pet the dog.
"Dog..." Bai Su drawled and tilted his head to one side, "Okay."
The white dog, who was sold again, raised his head from his sleep state in disbelief and fired the invisible eye knife at the main body.
The non-human body is turned away from the head, out of sight is out of sight.
Originally, the morning routine would end here. The human girl would finish playing with the dog and go back to prepare a new contract, and then come back in the afternoon.
However, suddenly someone unexpected came to the door.
Choose a day, and the next day is also considered a day.
The black-haired young man reluctantly raised his body from the sofa and went to open the door as the owner of the house.
He opened the door and saw a woman slightly shorter than him standing outside.
Then he slammed the door.
He thought, it shouldn't be.
The black-haired young man covered his mouth and thought, that shouldn't be the case. How could the person outside the door be...
While he was thinking, the knock on the door rang again. This time, even the human girl who was addicted to dog-sucking turned her head and cast a doubtful look.
"Xiao Bai, won't you open the door?"
"……It's open."
As if he was mentally prepared, Bai Su reopened the door and frowned at the woman outside.
The woman with a princess-cut hairstyle is smiling, and the tear marks at the corners of her eyes make her oval face even more charming. No matter from which angle she looks at it, she can be called a beauty.
Anyone's eyes will be focused on the face of the woman outside the door at first glance, and they will not be able to look away for a long time.
However, Baisu is an exception.
He also looked at the charming face of the woman, but what he was thinking about was another thing.
The two looked at each other for a long time. The human girl who had been in the room couldn't help but walked towards the door with the white dog in her arms, and asked the two of them doubtfully: "Would you like to... come in and sit and chat?"
After that, the three of them sat in a triangle, with Bai Su sitting in the middle, Wang Muying on the right with a curious face, and the other... a woman who introduced herself as Qiao Jiang kept smiling.
After the human girl asked curiously, she couldn't help but touch the white dog in her arms twice.
She always felt that the beautiful woman sitting opposite her looked a little familiar. After stroking the dog's curly hair and thinking for a while, she suddenly realized it.
Wang Muying lowered her voice even more and said to Bai Su: "This face... this face is not that person!"
Bai Su didn't know who she was talking about, so he just tilted his head slightly to the right.
"Just that...comic, have you read it?" Wang Muying held the white dog's paw and gestured, "The most famous...
The hairstyle is not consistent, but the temperament is very similar to the beautiful face, especially the tear mole at the corner of the eye. Wang Muying feels that it is exactly the same.
If there is a difference, the woman opposite does not have that magical beauty.
The human girl looked at her and just sighed that she was beautiful. She had no disgust or envy, and her emotions were normal. In addition, Bai Su's reaction was mediocre, so she didn't have that special physique.
What is rich and what is Jiang? Bai Su, who had not yet dabbled in this horror comic, did not understand what Wang Muying was talking about.
The current situation didn't give him time to search the Internet.
Bai Su's only opinion about this new woman is: Didn't she escape? Why did she come back?
Looking to the left with some unspeakable eyes, Bai Su asked strangely: "Aren't you..." Did you escape?
Qiao Jiang, a beautiful woman, sat with an upright posture: "I didn't get used to it at the time, who would have known how to look like that."
Bai Su:?
Bai Su: What does it look like?
The black-haired young man rummaged through his memory and didn't realize that he had done anything drastic in the coffee shop that day.
At most, the sky was a bit dark at that time, the clouds were gathering, and it looked like it would rain.
Even though he was confused, Bai Su didn't show any signs of it on his face. Instead, he replied: "I can't control it."
Wang Muying, who was listening to the encrypted conversation, was confused. She looked at the ground suspiciously, and then looked at the white dog in her arms.
The human girl whispered to herself: "Xiaobai No. 2, do you understand? Why don't I understand what they are saying?"
The fake dog and real monster clone shook its tail and did not want to comment on the original Riddler.
It jumped lightly from Wang Muying's arms to the ground, took two steps forward, then turned around and shouted twice at the human girl.
Wang Muying pointed at herself and followed Bai Quan without knowing why.
When Bai Quan led the human girl into the kitchen, the beautiful woman Qiao Jiang looked away. She spoke in a novel tone: "That's you too."
She has no prejudice against what her kind chooses as a clone or incarnation, and they must respect each other's preferences.
In human terms, people's sexual preferences are free.
Even if the same kind wants to be a dog, there is no problem, um, no problem.
Bai Su: "...what nonsense are you thinking about."
The beautiful woman put away her smile and pretended to be serious, but she still had a charming look on her face.
Bai Su's words interrupted Qiao Jiang's random thoughts. She smiled brightly with her beautiful face, and the curvature of her mouth and eyebrows was exactly the same as before.
Qiao Jiang enthusiastically introduced the skin bag she used this time to Bai Su. Indeed, according to Jiang's identity, it was the most beautiful face among all her bodies.
In terms of human aesthetics, the most beautiful face.
Qiao Jiang's character has also become more lively. She said that the fainting of the body she controlled last time was an accident. She didn't expect that Bai Su would... lose control? Too little consciousness was invested in that body, and it lost control under stress.
The same goes for the passed out humans around the cafe.
So Qiao Jiang changed his observation strategy.
Bai Su: "?" He usually didn't notice any outside eyes.
Qiao Jiang smoothed his hair from his temples and curled his eyes: "Instead of observing it personally, I just need to search human eyes afterwards."
"There are so many in this city." The beautiful woman raised her arms and spread them wide, "Peeping windows."
Judging from her gestures, it would be a very terrifying number and proportion.
But that's all humans have to worry about.
"So?" Bai Su raised his eyelids, "Are you here to show off to me?"
Qiao Jiang then suppressed his smile and shook his delicate face from side to side: "That's not the case."
Bai Su's black eyes stared at her suspiciously. After being stared at for dozens of seconds, the latter shrugged: "This body is your liaison."
"……ha?"
"It's interesting to say that this body obviously doesn't have any special abilities or has any contact with supernatural beings. It was pulled in just because of a face that looks like an avatar."
As he said that, Qiao Jiang pinched his cheek flesh, and the white and tender skin was easily pinched with red marks. There were bright-colored nails on his slender fingers. It could be seen that he was pampered and not very capable.
"Then?"
"Then I was put under guard and did some simple work that didn't involve combat." Such as paperwork, liaison, etc.
In the final analysis, human beings are afraid that "Qiao Jiang" will be born with some special abilities.
Qiao Jiang turned out to be not one of the bodies, but her - after a small part of his consciousness was scared away, he thought for a while and felt that blending into the human camp was an interesting and challenging thing, so he followed Bai Su's example and blended in. Go in.
The mission of the liaison officer itself is not Qiao Jiang's, it is obtained by inhumans wearing human shells.
Of course, the reason why she came here in a human shell today was not just to clarify her identity.
Qiao Jiang put the documents he had brought with him on the table, suddenly twirling his long black hair and covering his face, and said distressedly: "The humans asked me to deliver this information to you, and what I want to say is ——”
The beautiful woman smiled an inorganic smile: "My 'windows' have been reduced."
"There are new creatures in the city preying on my 'windows'."
"Have you encountered it too?"
