Great, It’s the Pervy Neighbor. We’re Doomed

Middle-aged Uncle fell silent for a moment before sighing: "You're right. The benevolent don't become rich, and the rich don't remain benevolent. If I had truly practiced benevolence, I wouldn't have reached my current status."

I am the Hero chimed in: "Alright everyone, no need to argue. After all, who hasn't done something bad? We all know the truth in our hearts."

"What I'm curious about is this young man's name - Wang Anjian. I remember a female orphan named Li Anjian trending on Douyin recently. Tragically, she also passed away from cancer."

The long-haired beautiful host stopped introducing and glanced at her black tablet, appearing thoughtful as she read the crazy comments flooding the live stream room.

Putting down the tablet, she continued:

"The final subject, Test Subject No.5, is the most special one in this round."

"His name is Mike, male, 33 years old, American. His profession is detective. Notably, he ranks 10th on America's detective rankings. Unlike others, he didn't sign any agreement with us. Similar to Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu, he entered through different means. But there's a key difference - he came with a specific purpose."

"Can anyone guess why this American detective entered Alice Apartment?"

In the live stream room:

Ultimate Rich Kid commented: "Since he didn't sign an agreement, it definitely wasn't for money. Of course, 10,000 per day is a fortune for most people, but insignificant for someone like him. I have an American friend." "My friend's father recently discovered his new mistress was pregnant. He hired the 20th ranked American detective to find out who cuckolded him. Just for that simple investigation, the fee was 500,000 USD. Imagine what the 10th ranked would charge! So money couldn't be his motive."

"As a famous detective, he must be investigating something or working for someone!"

On screen, the long-haired host nodded with a smile: "Correct! Let me reveal the answer directly."

"This Mike was hired by Zhou Wu's younger sister, Zhou Yan, to investigate the disappearances of her father and brother."

Middle-aged Uncle reacted: "So that's it? His family actually has a sister! But both men are already dead! One killed by the chainsaw murderer, the other by Xiao Xing. What's there to investigate? Their bodies are gone! Well... except his brother's head might still be found."

Domineering Female CEO added: "So many detectives recently. Hope this one isn't like that counterfeit Conan last time - what was his name? Ke Bei? Still locked up now."

I am the Hero replied: "This guy's skills definitely surpass Ke Bei's. After all, he's America's 10th best detective!"

Little Aunt excitedly commented: "Fascinating! Absolutely fascinating! This round just got interesting again! A detective of this caliber is a first for Alice Apartment!"

"Brilliant! Who will survive - the famous detective or all the psychopathic criminals in the apartment?"

Then Ultimate Rich Kid asked: "Host sister, I have a question. Since Mike is staying at Alice Apartment as a test subject, how will he receive his 10,000 daily payment?"

The long-haired host smiled slightly: "That's for you all to decide."

The live stream erupted:

"What? We decide? What's there to decide about this?"

"Yeah, just give him the money. No need for us to decide, right? Any excuse would work."

The host raised her hand: "Everyone quiet, please let me finish."

"We're offering two options:"

"First: Transfer 10,000 daily directly to his bank account like other contracted residents."

"Second: Like Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu, find another pretext to deliver or compensate the money."

The options seemed similar - both involved paying 10,000 per successful day of residence. Yet there were subtle differences.

Middle-aged Uncle voiced his opinion: "I support the first option. If this American detective Mike were truly like Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu, we'd choose the second option - find a suitable pretext."

"But Mike's different. He was hired to investigate. Since he's here to investigate anyway, why not go all out? Transfer the money directly and observe his reaction to sudden unexplained payments. Wouldn't that create better chemical reactions?"

Many previously indifferent viewers now agreed with Middle-aged Uncle's reasoning. Since he came to investigate, directly transferring money would force everything into the open, making things more interesting.

The host initiated a five-minute vote. Results showed 70% chose the first option, while 30% preferred the second.

Announcing the results, the host said: "Then it's decided. Mike will receive direct payments like other contracted residents."

"Now that all five test subjects have been introduced, we'll begin the betting session. You have thirty minutes to place your bets. Please consider carefully."

Current live stream viewers: approximately 290,000, nearing 300,000.

Ultimate Rich Kid exclaimed: "Great! The long-awaited betting session begins! Let me start with a bang!"

Soon, the thirty minutes ended.

The host began announcing the betting amounts for each test subject:

"Test Subject No.1 Jiang Ran's betting amount is... 150 million!"

Clearly stunned by the amount, the host paused briefly upon seeing it. Viewers were equally shocked seeing Jiang Ran's betting amount displayed on the giant screen behind her.

Fairy Sister expressed astonishment: "I remember the total betting amounts from the previous two rounds were just over 130 million each. How did Jiang Ran alone surpass both rounds combined this time?"

Middle-aged Uncle speculated: "I think it's because of Jiang Ran's performance last round! Surviving a headshot? Naturally more people bet on him with higher amounts. For example, I increased my bet from 5 million last round to 10 million this round on Jiang Ran, hehe!"

"Also, I've noticed our live stream viewership keeps growing. That's another factor."

The host continued: "Indeed, Jiang Ran's betting amount is surprising. Now let's see the others:"

"Test Subject No.2 Sun Yijie, the fitness trainer, received: 2.9 million."

"Test Subject No.3 Wu You received: 1 million."

"Test Subject No.4 Wang Anjian received: 1.22 million."

"Test Subject No.5 Mike received... 89 million!"
