Qin Yiya felt that her ordinary life had recently taken a turn for the worse. Every day, a bunch of inexplicable people showed up to persuade her to move out of her apartment.
Their reasons were especially bizarre and ridiculous:
"Your place has been contaminated by the supernatural for ages! This is a bona fide haunted house. If you don't want to die, move out now!"
"It came here last month. How could you possibly still be alive?!"
"Do you have some special technique for dealing with monsters? Even our highest-ranking investigators can't stay here for an hour."
Qin Yiya, who had lived there for six months and was still perfectly fine: ? Are all scammers doing this now? They should download the National Anti-Fraud Center app.
Qin Yiya always thought they had made up these lies just to get her to move out so they could buy the cheap apartment. That was, until she was accidentally caught up in a supernatural tale.
In a deathly pale room, the other people with her stared in horror at a door that had appeared out of nowhere. Its lavish, elaborate European-style classical decor clashed completely with its surroundings.
The arrival of an eerie deity brought the fragile space to the brink of collapse, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. As the door swung open, sticky tentacles writhed wildly in the shadows of a corner. Behind the door, a man of impossibly beautiful appearance smiled brightly at her.
Qin Yiya: ? Wait, aren't you the guy who lives next door to me?
The good news: She had spent six months in her new home and was still alive and well.
The bad news: She had four more neighbors who could suddenly show up like this.
Qin Yiya: Danger!

Investigator's Daily Survival is a comic about investigators and eerie supernatural tales. Its frighteningly realistic stories and beautiful, ensemble-style art have made it a huge hit.
Besides its several S-rank investigators, its four eerie deities are also extremely popular.
One day, a seemingly ordinary character appeared on the comic's title page. While readers were still racking their brains trying to guess who she was, the next moment they saw her calmly walk into an apartment building.
[??? Wait, isn't that where the eerie deities live?]
[What rank of investigator is gutsy enough to go in there? A new cannon fodder character?]
[Holy crap, in the latest chapter she moves into the innermost room!!!]
[Huh? Didn't it say earlier that the rooms are arranged by rank...?]
[The main cast has it rough. Four eerie deities were already bad enough, and now there's an even stronger one (lights a candle)]
At first, readers were still guessing who she was. But before long, the tone of the comments had completely changed:
[Holy crap, that guy next door. He said he was bringing her soy sauce, but really he was sneaking off to see her, right?!]
[Obviously No. 03 has the best chance. They even went shopping together in a dungeon. Isn't that basically a done deal?]
[With all due respect, when it comes to redemption arcs, everyone except the one in Room Four is a little boy.]
[While you're all arguing, No. 02 has already started plotting to move in together.]
Plot-focused.
