What Should I Do After Renting a Haunted Lair?

Broke Bing Zhuoxing rented a supposedly haunted building on the outskirts for 25 yuan a month.

The little building was a bit run-down, but otherwise perfectly normal. The landlord brothers weren't very good with smartphones and kept sending him strings of gibberish he couldn't understand, but they were always happy to help. They installed extra outlets, fixed the running water, and even loved decorating the furniture with crochet. The shabby rental was gradually starting to feel like a cozy home.

There were only two downsides. First, it was in the suburbs, where the landscaping was so lush there were bugs everywhere, always showing up everywhere except the bedroom.

After stepping on yet another bug that seemed to have crawled up from the sewer, Bing Zhuoxing said:

"That's disgusting. Stupid bug."

The crushed tentacle:

So fragrant... ankle... touched it...

The other downside was that security in the suburbs was poor, so he was always forced to pass by crime scenes and had become a regular at the local precinct, where they kept inviting him in for tea.

But after a while, things started to seem a little off.

Bing Zhuoxing noticed that the crocheted decorations around the house felt cold and clammy. He could feel something touching his waist in the middle of the night, and... elsewhere.

The hand was big and cold, and he could clearly feel how brazenly it was touching him, yet he couldn't see or touch it...

And after he'd shown up at too many crime scenes and helped up too many officers who'd fallen over screaming, the cops' looks of suspicion and fear gradually turned into excitement, admiration, and affection.

Damn it, something was definitely going on that he didn't know about!

Ever since Q City was tainted by alien horrors, officers from the Special Affairs Bureau had fought tooth and nail to kill the horrors and keep the city safe. But the horrors were everywhere and unimaginably powerful. The city was on the verge of despair.

Then a powerful, terrifying "thing" that wasn't one of the horrors appeared.

It followed a well-behaved-looking young man, appearing at every paranormal crime scene and brutally tearing those things apart. The young man also reached out to infected officers, helping them recover their senses.

But the "thing" guarding the young man had a condition: the officers had to do everything in their power to protect the young man's understanding of the ordinary, normal world. Before long, it showed up at the precinct with tentacles covering its body, demanding a permanent staff position.

The officers: ...So even nonhuman beings are taking civil service exams these days?

Then they saw it use its new position as an officer to pursue the young man.

So the young man only dates civil servants?!

So all the cops and horrors are just part of your damn love life?! Seriously?!

You worked so hard pretending to be human. Can't wait to see your true form revealed and find out if your wife runs for the hills!!!
