You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 269 Inspection

After thanking a few villagers, the two returned to their rooms.

Chi Ping found that there was no drinking water in the room, so he went to the lobby to buy a few bottles and chatted with the paralyzed proprietress.

After going upstairs, I delivered it to Mang, but found that he had closed the door and was probably taking a shower.

Half an hour later, the fresh and elegant Mang, with long black hair and wearing the cute slippers she brought with her, appeared in front of Chi Ping.

The room cost 68 yuan, but the environment was actually very ordinary. Even the squat toilet was a little yellow, and the lights in the room were even a little dim.

But when Mang appeared, Chi Ping's eyes brightened a little.

When you get close to her, you can smell the faint scent of shampoo.

"There's no hair dryer here, so it's hard to dry my hair." Mang complained softly, her hair still a little wet.

"I'll go to town and buy one for you later," Chi Ping said.

"Hehe." Mang's eyes curved into crescents. Under the dim light, it was not clear but it made people feel very beautiful.

"Did you find anything wrong with the hotel?" After a while, Mang changed the subject.

"There are too few people." Chi Ping said, "I just went downstairs to ask the boss lady, and she said he is the only staff member here.

"But looking at the state of the proprietress, honestly, it's basically impossible for her to run a hotel alone."

Even if it is just a hotel with a dozen rooms, it requires at least one or two healthy people to run it.

As far as daily cleaning is concerned, a paralyzed proprietress cannot handle it; not to mention that she has to go up and down the stairs without an elevator.

"It can't be that a deformed monster helped her clean up, right?" Mang said.

She is from the Super Power Bureau. Although her major is combat, her ability to investigate cases is basically online.

It’s just that once a woman enters into a relationship, she will subconsciously rely on the man.

Even if it is a very simple question, I will not take the initiative to think about it.

"We'll only know when the monster comes knocking on our door," Chi Ping said.

"When will it come?"

"I don't know either." Chi Ping spread his hands.

The two chatted idly from a little after seven to almost ten o'clock. Mang's hair was dried up from talking, but he still didn't even see the shadow of the deformed monster.

Chi Ping had no choice but to send her back to her room. After returning, he took off his shoes, lay on the bed with his clothes on, and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, the night became quiet.

The night in a small town is different from that in the city. It is very quiet here and even the slightest sound is amplified.

The chirping of crickets is very pleasant to the ear; from the distant hillside comes the sound of flowing water; the barking of dogs, sometimes far away and sometimes near, and the "humming" sound of the wind blowing through the pipes also complement each other.

If you look more carefully, you can hear footsteps.

It's the sound of a relatively hard object hitting the concrete floor.

"Crack, snap."

From far to near, it becomes clearer and clearer.

Judging from the sound, the person must have stepped on the stairs outside. The cement stairs are relatively thin, and the sound is completely different from stepping on the ground on the second floor.

Then, the sound became a little muffled, probably reaching the second floor.

There was no light in Ikehira's room, but bright moonlight shone through the window. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, the faint light became brighter.

The light from directly opposite the hotel squeezed in through the gap between the door and the ground, creating a long and narrow strip of light.

Soon, this light was cut off——

There's someone standing at the door!

Ikehira realized it instantly, got off the bed, and put his hand on the door handle.

Then he slowly raised his fist. This time, he only used [Iron Bones] to see the effect.

The moment the door opened, half a second before the fist landed, Chi Ping paused!

He quickly put away his fist. How could the guy in front of him be a deformed creature?
Even the entry for [Ruins Traveler] was not triggered.

Standing at the door were two young men in police uniforms. Chi Ping had seen Mang wear these uniforms before, so they were probably from the Longchuan City Superpower Bureau.

But why would the other party come knocking on the door at this time?
The two policemen looked unhappy. They were police officers stationed in the town due to the aberration incident.

"ID." One of the police officers spoke in a stiff tone and with a slightly impatient expression.

Ikehei handed over the ID.

"From Star City?" the police officer asked.

“Yes, I’m here to travel.”

"Don't you know you can't come here now?"

"Now I know." Chi Ping cooperated, thinking of just dealing with it.

But the two police officers showed no intention of stopping. Another police officer even pointed to the room next to Chi Ping:

"Is the person living next door your friend?" Chi Ping nodded.

"Call her out," the officer said.

Chi Ping walked to Mang's room and patted the door with his hand: "The ward inspector is here."

After a while, the door was opened.

Mang came out mumbling, "You still have to check on us even though we don't even live together."

Ikehira's eyes twitched.

Mang was also wearing a police uniform, looking tall and handsome. The only difference between her and the other two officers was that she had more bars and stars on her shoulders.

In terms of rank, Mang's rank is the same as that of the director of the Longchuan City Super Energy Bureau.

Chi Ping's rank was higher than Mang's, but they were not in the same system.

Seeing Mang's attire, the two police officers were obviously stunned for a moment, but they still checked his ID.

Then they saluted in unison!

Mang waved his hand: "If you're fine, go back."

Unexpectedly, the two police officers said in a loud voice: "Officer Mang and your friend, please come with us to the hospital in town for some examinations."

The most direct examination of a deformed monster is the examination of its body tissues. Changes at the cellular level are difficult to conceal.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ping paused.

It is hard to say whether his body will change at its current state. If anything is detected, his identity will probably be completely destroyed.

Therefore, it is impossible to check.

He gave Mang a look, telling him that in this situation they had to be unreasonable and let Mang use his official power to suppress others.

Mang quickly understood what Chi Ping meant. She was well aware of his situation. With a serious expression, she asked:

"Does it have to be checked?"

Her tone was even harsher than that of the two police officers.

The two police officers frowned and said stubbornly:
“Yes, sir.

"In principle, once you enter here, you must be checked."

When Chi Ping heard the word "in principle", his expression changed. In principle, it was not allowed, but in practice, it was allowed. But who knew——

"In fact, it's even more necessary to check!"

The police officer said this with a firm tone.

In fact, the two police officers knew very well that they had to obey the orders of the Longchuan City Super Power Bureau.

No matter how high the rank of the person from the capital Star City is, he is not their direct superior, so they just need to respect him.

"What if I don't want to?" Mang said.

The two police officers exchanged glances, and the older one stepped forward and said in a very firm tone:

"Then I'm sorry, we have no choice but to go through the procedure."

Mang was very familiar with this procedure. It was nothing more than taking compulsory measures. Even if nothing was detected in the end, he would not be able to escape the charge of "obstructing public service".

As they spoke, the two police officers took out their shiny silver handcuffs.

Chi Ping frowned slightly and stepped back behind Mang. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he was afraid that if he gave the two of them a conditioned reflex and killed them by mistake, what would happen?
Even if he didn't die, it's not good to have broken bones.

In the eyes of the two police officers, Chi Ping's action undoubtedly showed that he was afraid and was seeking protection.

Mang Chao Chiping said softly: "Why don't you go and rest first? I'll take care of it."

Chi Ping nodded and went straight back to his room. Mang's words undoubtedly confirmed Chi Ping's act of seeking asylum.

In the dark night, there was a black fog.

Mang was a little angry.

Although Chi Ping was lying on the bed, he was still listening carefully to the movements outside.

But suddenly——

There was a sound of flushing in the room!
someone!

The room was only about fifteen or sixteen square meters in total, and Chi Ping slowly approached the bathroom.

Inside, there was a creature that was so bloated that it was about to explode.

His body was covered in rotting flesh, like a rotting fat man. Layers of greasy fat could be seen at the openings of the rotten flesh.

Pink tentacles stretched out from the opening, holding a mop and a brush.

It looked like he was actually cleaning.

The squat toilet, which was yellow before, has been cleaned by him and looks as clean as new!
Damn it, there really is a deformed creature coming to clean the boss lady’s house!
