Chapter 254 The scapegoat
Chapter 254 The scapegoat
[As a fellow figurine enthusiast, I felt my blood pressure rise just by listening to the host’s description! ]
[People outside the circle also have high blood pressure. The doll I bought from a certain store was dismembered by the naughty kid of my relative. It was my favorite doll. Fortunately, my parents bought me a new one afterwards, and I have no more contact with that family since then. ]
[I can’t even imagine what kind of crime scene it would be if a whole room of figurines met a naughty child.]
Ji Chu said helplessly: "If everyone had a pair of open-minded parents, or if the parents could make amends afterwards, this tragedy wouldn't have happened."
"When the former tenant returned home, it was too late. Several large figurines in his room were all damaged. Some were placed high up and were out of reach of the child unless an adult helped him get them."
"In addition, there are several out-of-print figures that were given to naughty children by their parents, simply because the naughty children got their heads swollen and cried while trying to reach for the figures."
"After this incident, the former tenant had a big fight with his parents. His parents felt that he was being unreasonable and that it was just a bunch of toys and there was no need to get so angry."
"They also felt that the former tenant was 22 years old and an adult, and playing with these things was a waste of time, and it would be best if these things were destroyed."
"The previous tenant felt that he couldn't communicate with his parents, so he moved out. Unexpectedly, as he had no experience in renting a house for the first time, he rented a shared room."
[I really want to curse, what an idiot, the landlord is not a good person, and the parents of the previous tenant are not good people either! ]
[What's wrong with children liking figurines? It's not illegal. Do they have to like traveling, reading, and exercising to be good habits? ]
[Don’t even mention 22 years old. My husband is almost 40 years old and he also likes figurines. There is a room in our house filled with his favorite things. Although it’s a bit expensive, he doesn’t smoke or drink. Isn’t this hobby better than drinking and smoking outside to pick up girls? ]
[I remember seeing a mother online saying that her son spent his holidays at home playing with his phone.]
[I have seen that. The netizens below were all talking nonsense. They posted their travel photos one after another, saying that they did not use their phones, but their parents gave them tens of thousands of dollars to travel. Then they asked her if she did not give money to her child to let him go out and see the world. In the end, the angry mother deleted the question.]
[People of their generation were spiritually deficient and had no hobbies, so when they saw their children had hobbies, they thought it was wrong.]
[It’s useless to say so much, host. I just want to ask if the former tenant’s parents regretted it after he passed away? ]
Ji Chu felt it was a little ridiculous: "Of course I regret it, that's the only child in their family."
[The child died and I knew I had to give milk, so why did I do that earlier? 】
[Instead of whitewashing the former tenant's parents, could it be that the former tenant spent all his parents' money on the figurines? ]
[Haha, I don’t think the old-fashioned thinking of the previous tenant’s parents would allow them to give extra money to buy action figures. The money for these action figures was either bought by the previous tenant himself from his part-time job or was pocket money saved secretly.]
[But no matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with the parents, right? The money is given to the children, and how to distribute it is their freedom. ]
Du Xingwei suddenly felt that the figurine in his hand was heavy. Something that was so precious to someone else was given away like that, so naturally he had to take it back.
"Anchor, did the landlord never intend to let me live in this house from the beginning?"
Ji Chu: "That's not the case, otherwise, he wouldn't have said that to you."
"But he did have this intention in giving you the figurine."
Du Xingwei was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Ji Chu: "Before the former tenant passed away, he had a lawsuit with the landlord, but for various reasons, the former tenant did not win the lawsuit."
"After the previous tenant died, he didn't have much resentment. But just before his parents came to the rental house to collect his belongings, the landlord's son sneaked in and took away a lot of valuable action figures and sold them. This caused the former tenant's resentment to surge."
"The landlord, who had been harassed many times by the ghosts of his former tenants, was also afraid. In order to eliminate his resentment, he invited a wild Taoist priest to perform a magic ritual."
"Afterwards, he asked Taoist Noboru whether the previous tenant's resentment had dissipated, and the Taoist Noboru told him that he could try to find a new tenant."
“If new residents encounter strange things, it means the resentment has not yet subsided.”
"If it hasn't disappeared, you can give the new tenant something that the previous tenant particularly liked. When the new tenant is scared and runs away, the former tenant's ghost will also be taken away."
"After the former tenant's ghost leaves, put a spell in a hidden place in the room, and the former tenant's ghost will not be able to find the room."
[Mr. Du is the unlucky new tenant! ]
Ji Chu: "That's right, Mr. Du lived in the house for 3 days, and even the landlord himself thought that the former tenant had forgiven him. Unexpectedly, it was just that Mr. Du was too generous."
"So on the third day, after hearing Mr. Du telling him that there seemed to be someone in the house, the landlord said, 'You haven't forgiven me.'"
[The landlord must have been frightened and mentally disturbed at the time, so he posted what he was thinking. ]
[No wonder the host said Mr. Du couldn't leave. Once he left this room with the figurine, he would be dead.]
[This landlord is too bad. He rented the room to the former tenant and made the new tenant the scapegoat. Anchor, is there any way to punish them? ]
Ji Chu curled his lips and smiled: "This is easy."
"The landlord and his son don't know yet that Mr. Du already knows about their plan."
"As long as Mr. Du bows to the figurine and explains that he did not take the figurine on purpose, the former tenant will forgive you."
"Then you call the landlord and tell them you've moved out, and they come right over to put the spell on."
"When the time comes, we will take revenge if we have revenge, and we will pay back our grievances if we have grievances!"
[After Mr. Du left, will we no longer see the scene of the landlord and his son being retaliated against? ]
Ji Chu: "Don't worry, the landlord and his son installed a surveillance camera at the door to monitor whether Mr. Du has left. I will connect to the camera in a while so that no one will miss any high-energy scenes."
[These two bad guys only installed surveillance cameras at the door because they are too guilty to enter this room! ]
[I want to see what will happen to these two people! ]
Soon, Du Xingwei bowed three times to the action figure as instructed by Ji Chu, and after packing all the remaining props into the suitcase, he went outside, took out his cell phone and called the landlord and his son.
On the other side, the landlord and his son hurriedly checked the surveillance footage after receiving the call, and confirmed that Du Xingwei had really left with the luggage, and that the pockets of his windbreaker containing the figures were bulging. The two of them rushed here without stopping.
