The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPCCh19 - Neighbourhood (4)

Ren Yifei bit the straw and sucked in a mouthful of soy milk, "What's the matter, sister?"

"What else could it be? The murderer had just been caught and these little girls couldn't wait to put on their pretty dresses," as she said this, she put the stack of steamers onto the stove, "Their love for beauty is beyond their love for life." DcFqhX

"Murderer?" The straw that Ren Yifei was biting on fell out, he hurriedly picked it up and once again bit down on it, "Which one?"

"You don't know? Wasn't there a big fuss about it a while ago? Several young and beautiful girls died. We originally had no surveillance in this area so they installed some. It's good that they had installed it, all the petty thefts are gone now," the elder sister answered while bending down to check on the other steamers.

"Has the murderer been caught?" Ren Yifei looked curious.

"Caught, he looked pretty cunning." 30zYdw

Seeing that he was interested, the elder sister wiped her hands and took out her phone to open a video for him to 'listen'. It was not an official video, but it did mention the suspect in this serial murder case.

The reason why he is only a suspect was because even though all the evidence pointed to him, he refused to admit it. He stated that he had only killed one person.

He had an ordinary appearance, but maybe because the label of a murderer had been added, he now looked repulsive.

Several of the victims also have photos, although they have been censored, it could still be seen that the victims had been young and beautiful girls.

The video mentioned that the victims were dressed up like large dolls after they died and left beside a large dumpster. Other people didn't notice them at first and simply thought that they were discarded clothing store mannequins.

The place where these girls fell victim to this heinous crime was also in this old city, but they all lived in different apartment buildings. This was also the reason why the official had installed several surveillance cameras here afterwards.

Is there any connection between the old apartment building and this instance?

After a while, he finished his breakfast and was about to pick up the bags to throw in the bin but the student behind him was one step faster. rhd2jB

"Hey, wait—" The student ran after the bus.

The elder sister shook her head, "This Xiao Shi, he had one redeeming quality of always being punctual in the past, but even that is lost now."

Ren Yifei threw the empty cup of soy milk into the bin beside the table and took out a few coins to pay for the breakfast but the elder sister did not take them.

"It's not the end of the month yet, what are you doing with this money?" bddK6T

So it turned out to be a monthly subscription.

He took the small jar of old canola oil from the breakfast shop elder sister and limped back to his apartment building as usual.

Once he entered the gate, he became more careful, afraid of stepping on the glass marbles on the ground. The previous fall had left him with lingering fears.

In fact, there was not a single glass marble on the ground. It was unknown who cleaned it up. VgzyWA

It took more than ten minutes for Ren Yifei to climb up to the second floor. Before entering the house, he habitually glanced around.

This was an occupational safety habit. He would take a 'picture' of his lounge with his eyes before going out and when he comes back, he would compare them to see if anyone had moved anything.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

After all, it was not an uncommon occurrence to find missing belongings, hidden cameras or deliberately placed contrabands in certain artists' dressing rooms.

No one was actually that bored in reality. h6cvfo

However, he did not expect that he would actually find a black fingernail-sized camera after scanning over the corner of the doorway.

The gap in the door was dark and the camera was also black in addition to being placed in the corner, the average person would not have noticed. But Ren Yifei has been chased by the paparazzi for so many years and was more sensitive to these cameras so he could spot them at a glance.

Only after the short amount of time taken to eat breakfast, a camera had appeared by the door?

Perhaps due to the aftermath of the previous system, Ren Yifei couldn't stand being in pain, he was afraid of the cold, hated being tired and hated being hungry; he didn't want to suffer any grievances. But he could also endure. As long as he was still filming, he could laugh even if he broke a bone.

Rolling down the stairs once was nothing. 4J yzW

Of course, that didn't stop him from hating– no, loathing those two kids.

He took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.

Other people wouldn't wait for him so he needs to figure out the role as soon as possible. He had to adapt to the living environment of a blind person.

This residence is a special existence so he had to quickly create a one-to-one diorama of the room in his brain and know exactly where everything is placed even with his eyes closed. OfdwZF

He tried fumbling around with his eyes closed but the effects weren't very good because there would be flashes of light and shadow. Moreover, he was still afraid of pain and falling so he would always try to open his eyes to peek.

Thinking for a moment, he took a strap from the hook on the side and tied it around his eyes. He made himself forget about his eyes and perceive the world only with his ears and hands.

He only took two steps and 'clang', he bumped into the coffee table and even fell along with it.

His waist is going to be crippled... paJl9A

From a certain point of view, falling down the stairs once is not entirely bad. At least he would have a good excuse for all the bumps and bruises later.

Ren Yifei sat up bitterly and straightened the table.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

A truly dark world makes people feel insecure.

Even with adequate preparation, Ren Yifei still crashed several times as he made his way from the door to the bedside; his calves are going to turn blue and green later. u6qFyd

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong," it was the sound of the mobile phone, accompanied by vibration.

He fished his cell phone out of his pants pocket and took two seconds to find the call button, "Hello? You ..."

"Teacher Song, when will you hand in the dry recording for the last few chapters of 'Dreams of Returning to Chang'an'?" The other side called him teacher very politely, but his tone implied that he could not wait to take a knife to his neck, "It's been three days, you hurry up oh."

Ren Yifei: ... N Fptv

"Cough, okay, I understand."

The other side was anxious, "Just understanding is not enough, you must hurry up ah! If I don't receive your dry recording in three days, then I'll...hang myself in front of your doorstep in the middle of the night!"

"Okay, okay, certainly," Ren Yifei smiled dryly.

"Remember to send me an email!" u8qt Y

Turning off the phone, Ren Yifei tore off the strap and was sweating all over: he never expected that he would have to work even as an NPC.

He reached out for the home studio, opened the glass door and sat inside.

It was quiet inside the recording studio. When he turned on the computer, the sound of the system rang.

The moment it was turned on, an electronic voice spoke, asking what kind of service he needed. TY3sH

Ren Yifei tentatively said a few keywords such as sound recording and song recording.

A page opened automatically.

This was probably a specially installed intelligent system with a simple conversational function and a history retrieval function.

Thus, he soon learned that the original owner seemed to work by dubbing ebooks. He could not see but he could listen to the machine's voice and rearrange the recordings before reading the next chapter. kz1NSG

There were more than a dozen completed works in a certain folder while one was waiting to be completed.

Dubbing?

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ren Yifei has learned it.

In reality, he had followed a teacher of a drama club and squatted there for three years. He practised his lines and came into contact with voice acting afterwards. jEu7x5

In a non-idealistic environment, he studied with a professional dubbing teacher and would use different voices according to his roles.

In the TV series and movies he had acted in, Ren Yifei had always insisted on the original voice dubbing, and the external evaluation has always been very good.

The folder contained the original owner's work and the traces he left behind.

Ren Yifei puts on the headphones and listened to the original owner's first work. AS Xdb

The first work was saved three years ago, the voice was youthful yet reserved and still a bit stiff. When imitating female voices, he would sound very confused, uneasy and a bit shaky

For the second and third, they were each an extract from a collection for an audition.

He could clearly feel the original owner's progress as he became increasingly more calm and confident.

When he came to the more recent work, the self-taught original owner had developed his own dubbing style. He had been learning consciously and was making rapid progress. Oh7wB8

"After knocking for a long time without the door opening, I knew that you would be in here."

The glass door to the studio suddenly opened and a shadow cast over him and the computer, accompanied by a woman's voice.

Who?!

Ren Yifei's muscles tensed. fuvHKB

"Yo, are you working?" A hand was placed on his stiff shoulder, carrying a hint of a women's perfume.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a roll of newspaper in this person's hand. Ren Yifei rolled his eyes and turned around with a smile on his face, "Why didn't you call me when you arrived?"

He pretended to complain but there was joy in his voice.

It was only possible to enter this room with a newspaper, this person and the original owner must not have an ordinary intimate relationship. EoVBgp

"It's not like I don't have the keys," she stood up and put the newspaper away by herself then looked around, "It's clean, but there are too few things, there's not even a TV. I told you to live with us and not move out by yourself. Your brother-in-law keeps asking me if he did something wrong."

This person turned out to be his older sister, the number one contact in the address book.

His sister looked just over twenty and was wearing a dark blue work uniform with all her hair curled up. Her appearance made her seem very capable and refreshing.

Ren Yifei put down his headphones. He walked out of the recording studio then took two and a half steps forward, stopped, turned ninety degrees before walking forward three steps and turning the corner. Pf67WT

After the first few collisions, he was already a little familiar with this room.

His sister silently watched her brother's skilful movements with a slightly distressed expression on her face.

"Sister, sit down," Ren Yifei patted the sofa and sat down himself, "Brother-in-law is quite nice, but I just think it's not appropriate to always be so troublesome."

"What's appropriate or inappropriate? I'm not someone else, I'm your sister." E0Rdgw

His sister walked over and sat down on the sofa. She looked around but didn't see any take-out box, "You would forget to eat as soon as you start working. How can I rest assured when you're living alone?"

"I definitely won't forget it next time," Ren Yifei touched his stomach and found that he was a little hungry. Has he unknowingly been listening to the recordings all morning?

His sister looked at her watch and stood up, "It's already late, the take-out people are also out of food. I'll take you out to eat."

"Is it too much trouble?" PQ9pJK

"What's troublesome about this?"

Sure enough, his sister's a really cool and strong girl. Ren Yifei was directly dragged away.

"Sister, wait, my cane."

Just as they went out, a burnt bitter aroma wafted over, causing Ren Yifei to cover his stomach. He felt even more hungry now– the weather in early autumn is very suitable for eating snacks sprinkled with a bit of cocoa powder and a cup of coffee with a large spoon of whipped cream. Xb9sHz

The man with the scent of a bakery came over, it was the person who had saved him earlier. He was about to go downstairs, wearing an ironed suit with a certain real estate employee's identity card pinned to his chest.

Saman had completely given up on the disguise. This resulted in a real estate agent with a temperament that was as imposing as the owner of a villa.

On the other side of the corridor was another young man in a delivery man's uniform. He was clutching a helmet as he averted his eyes and scowled.

Sister Song glanced left and right, her eyes suddenly sharpened. RA5osE

"It's Xiao Zheng ah," she greeted the delivery man first in a very familiar manner, "You've finished delivering the takeaways?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, and chuckled dryly, "Ah, yeah..."

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Sister Song raised her eyebrows. She probably thought the other party seemed a little strange and continued, "In the future, I'll be counting on you for Bo Zhi's lunch and dinner."

"En en," The delivery man hurriedly responded twice, then looked sideways at Ren Yifei and said vaguely, "Excuse me, I have something to do." QHkKBh

Then, he turned around and went into the room next door near the toilet.

"This Xiao Zheng, why is he acting so weird today?"

She turned to Saman again and said politely, "Hello, are you the resident who just moved in? I haven't seen you before."

"En, I just moved into the room next door today," Saman nodded. His eyes drifted towards Ren Yifei who was being guarded like a chick being guarded by a mother hen: he's the NPC from that morning. RcSUjf

He was experienced in responding to the NPCs' questions. Although he does not act like the original owner, he will not offend these people for no reason.

Next door? So it turned out to be him, the one with the camera.

Ren Yifei's ears twitched as if he 'heard' the voice from that morning and his nose moved as he sniffed the air, "Excuse me, is this the gentleman who helped me this morning? I haven't thanked you properly yet."

This series of actions made Saman inexplicably embarrassed: Is there any strange smell on me? 6WKlfv

"What helped you?" Sister Song heard the key points and turned her head, her eyes had a murderous aura, "Who deliberately bullied you again?!"
