Chapter 344 The Non-Existent Recorder (1)
When Chen Yan saw this, a thought popped into his head subconsciously:
Don't look any further.
There are weird and unreasonable contents in the log, please don’t read any more!
He wanted to look away from the paper, but his hand reached out uncontrollably and picked up the next piece of paper filled with diaries.
It was also at this time that he finally felt that the early morning air-conditioning was spreading on the floor of the attic, mixed with the unique haze of Yanan City, and unexpectedly it had covered the entire floor of the attic.
The smog outside the window was equally thick, and the buildings in the haze could no longer be seen clearly from the corner of his eyes.
Even Ogami beside him seemed to be completely covered by the haze - Chen Yan could no longer feel his presence.
At this moment, except for the small desk in front of him, Chen Yan felt as if he was in a thick fog.
The sense of direction disappeared, and the cold and moist mist turned into water vapor the moment it touched his skin. The water vapor condensed into cold water droplets on his neck, and cut along his neck into the warm chest, making him freeze.
I shivered seriously.
The whole world seemed to be dominated by the small desk in front of me, the kerosene lamp on the desk, and the paper under the light.
He tried his best to leave the small desk, but his body was frozen in place, unable to move.
Ogami, covered by the thick fog, seemed to have completely disappeared from his side. Not only did he not take action to prevent the abnormality happening to him, he could not even hear any sounds.
Following the thin whispers in his ears and feeling the swelling sensation coming from the eyes in his forehead, he finally understood that these papers were actually a kind of [unknown knowledge].
But he obviously cannot bear this kind of knowledge, causing himself to be on the verge of losing control!
He looked at the paper uncontrollably.
"Surprisingly, this Asian man named Chen Yan is not a black man, but a new immigrant with status.
He has an identity certificate called a "work visa" in his hand to prove his legal status.
It is worth mentioning that during a short conversation, I learned that he is currently studying at Miskatonic University, and is actually in the same grade and major as the tenant in Room 201: Abnormal Biology.
But they clearly didn't know each other - these two Asians seemed to be complete strangers to each other. They didn't even say hello to each other when they met in the corridor.
The Asian tenant of Room 201 is named Miao Yingchu, and his imperial name is Harlem Kakubo.
The Asian tenant of Room 305 is named Chen Yan, and the imperial name is James Adams.
I became very curious about them."
Adams……
Twenty years ago, William Adams should have still been stranded in Sakura Country, or had just arrived in Tianshen State... No matter how he calculated, he had not returned to the Empire yet.
At that time, the Adams family must not have made a fortune yet.
So, who is this Asian James Adams?
Chen Yan thought of [Chen Yan] who appeared last Sunday night and was equipped with quantum technology, and the suspicion in his heart was ready to come out.
His eyes looked down uncontrollably.
"December 15th, Year of the Cedar"
As this year comes to an end, I have successfully found more tenants and almost filled all the rooms in the apartment.
I was so fascinated by what was going on in every room in the apartment that I devoted more of my time to observing them.
The only thing worth being vigilant about is that Chen Yan seems to have discovered the secret of the chimney.
But I won't let him continue to explore it. It's not a secret he can bear yet.
Today, the girl in room 103 is sick. Well...it seems that the doctor last time infected her. What a poor girl. She was frightened by what happened to her. Her fear made her do irrational things.
move:
She bought expensive medicines to suppress infectious diseases in her body.
She didn't know yet that the infectious virus had spread to other parts of her body.
There was no cure for her and she could only use drugs to delay her life.
Miao Yingchu from Room 201 and Chen Yan from Room 305 almost only come back at night. They obviously take the same courses and are even taught in the same classroom - even so, after returning to the apartment, they still look like who they are.
Don't know anyone either.
They are two very strange people.
But if there is a conflict between them, why don't they cancel the rent? According to the express terms in the rental contract, they only need to pay one month's rent as liquidated damages, and they can refund half a year's rent paid in advance.
do not really understand.
But I will always understand, as long as I continue to observe."
"December 23rd, Year of the Cedar"
As a few days passed, the girl in Room 103 became more seriously ill, but she did not stop receiving guests.
She needs money to treat her illness.
Although I know several owners of workshops and factories, I still don't want to help her find a job that seems more "serious". More work and less money will only speed up her death."
"The residents in the other four rooms on the first floor seem to be doing business together. I don't know what the specific business is, but they basically go out early and come back late, and they act in the same way... I have a vague feeling that there is something wrong with the four of them, but what is the specific problem?
I can't tell either.
Still need to continue to observe it.”
"Only room 205 on the second floor is vacant. The other rooms are:
Miao Yingchu, whose pseudonym is "Harin Kakubo", lives in No. 201.
Miao Yingchu goes to class every day during the day and comes back to sleep at night. This has been the case since entering the apartment until now.
There is a young man of a strange race named "Chai" living in Room 202 (I can guarantee that in the long time I have been conscious, I have never seen a race like him). I asked around but couldn't find out.
Where is his hometown?
Chai is very strong. I once inadvertently saw the muscles on his arms - they were not human muscles.
He may be a demi-human, but I can't be sure because I haven't smelled the unique fishy smell of demi-humans from him.
The guest in Room 203 just arrived today. He is a German named Joseph Lagrange. He is a very wealthy middle-aged man, and he lives here with his mistress——
I think he rents a house here just to keep his mistress.
In fact, many people in the city do this - find a beautiful girl who is short of money, place them in a barely decent-looking apartment like 33 Walker Street, give them some living expenses, and visit them from time to time.
Room.
I watched them do this for two hours and it was amazing.
The guest in Room 204 arrived yesterday. His name is Daxo. He is a guy who smells like fish. He is engaged in killing and selling fish in the market not far away.
I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel like he exudes a faint smell of decaying water stains.
That's the smell from the bottom of the smoky lake.
I haven't smelled this kind of smell for many years."
"Only one room on the third floor is still vacant, and the rest of the rooms are occupied by:
The tenant in Room 301 is named "Anzem" and he is a Ruk. I am certain that this must be a pseudonym because the name Anzem does not exist in the Ruk civilization, and he does not have a surname.
Anzem is a handsome man who smiles and greets everyone he meets. Unlike Miao Yingchu in Room 201, who is "cold and pretty", Anzem's beauty brings a warm feeling to people.
Even a creature like me that suffers a cold curse can still get a touch of warmth from his greetings."
"The guest in Room 302 is named Victor Frankstein.
I remember that "Frankenstein" was a downgraded aristocratic surname. His ancestor was very wealthy and seemed to be a large landowner in a manor outside the city of Yharnam.
Are they now so poor that they have to rent an apartment?
In short, there is no more valuable information.
We still need to continue to observe this person.”
"The guest in Room 303 is called Barbarossa. He is a Snittu with dark brown skin. It is obvious at a glance that he was once a pirate——
They are not the kind of fake pirates from Smokey Lake who only come ashore to steal food.
He is a real pirate in the southern sea of the empire who dares to trade heads with the imperial navy with a broken knife!
But that was just "once".
Since the empire's fleet conquered the entire sea area, most of the pirates in the outer seas have been wiped out. After the remaining pirates knelt under the bronze statue of the emperor and kissed the emperor's toes, they became serious imperial people——
Why did the emperor let them become imperial people? Probably because their bloodline is strong enough and they can become stronger soldiers than the traditional rural Rooks.
With such a Snithu living in the apartment, the gangsters on the street must not dare to urinate in the corner of the apartment downstairs."
"Room 304 is vacant."
"Chen Yan, whose pseudonym is James Adams, lives in Room 305. He is the most ordinary person among all the people. I can hardly find anything wrong with him. He is so ordinary.
But my intuition tells me that he must not be as ordinary as I see."
