The aquarium job was ruined by a murder.
Suzuki Bai Ye rushed home in the heavy rain.
For the next few days, he couldn't find a satisfactory job.
Either the salary was too low, or he didn't meet the qualifications.
With his current physique and looks, Bai Ye even thought about becoming a male escort.
Unfortunately, his tongue wasn't flexible enough, and he didn't have any connections in that field.
...
On Saturday morning, he received a call from the landlord:
"Hello, Mr. Suzuki. Have you moved out yet?"
"Huh?"
"I've already made an appointment with other tenants to come and see the house tomorrow."
Suzuki Bai Ye was very surprised. He remembered the lease expiring in two months:
"Isn't it supposed to be before December 6th?"
"Yes." The landlord replied confidently: "Today is December 6th."
A few days ago when discussing the rent, it was October 17th.
It has been 4 days now, it should be October 21st.
"It's October, how did it become December? You must be living in a dream."
On the other end of the phone, the landlord's voice suddenly turned cold:
"Mr. Suzuki, don't play dumb with me. I'll bring people to collect the house tomorrow morning at 9:00. If you haven't moved out, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After finishing his sentence, the landlord hung up the phone with a snap.
Suzuki Bai Ye was a little angry and opened his phone calendar:
"Damn heartless landlord, I'll teach you a lesson... Wait, it really is December 6th?"
For a moment, he even doubted if he had made a mistake.
Clearly only four days had passed, why had two months gone by?
Suzuki Bai Ye looked strange and stood there pondering.
When he went to the aquarium before, many people were wearing winter clothes.
He thought they were just weak and easily cold.
Now that he thought about it, maybe things weren't so simple.
Four days turning into two months, that's not scientific at all!
Therefore, according to the principles of science...
However, the system didn't give any response.
Meaning that this phenomenon of disordered and chaotic time is actually normal?
Normal my ass!
Suzuki Bai Ye still couldn't believe it and decided to go out and ask.
He walked out onto the street and randomly stopped a young man with green, cauliflower-like hair:
"Hey, hello."
"What's wrong?"
"What day is it today?"
Asking the date directly is like a reborn person always asking the time.
Even if it makes sense, it makes people feel a bit strange.
"It's December 6th, what about it?"
No way, no way, no way.
Is it really time distortion?
Bai Ye frowned, his brain a bit short-circuited.
After a moment of hesitation, he blurted out:
"Then what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, what day is it?"
The young man was slightly stunned, looking at him strangely.
In today's society, are there still people who can't even tell the date?
This kind of person should be sent to the Seinan Hospital for some good electroconvulsive therapy:
"Tomorrow is November 24th, and the day after tomorrow is October 17th."
October 17th again?
What kind of mess has the timeline of this world become?
Suzuki Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, he wanted to say "MMP" [a Chinese internet slang for "motherfucker"].
He asked several other passersby, and they all gave the same answer.
If everyone in the world thinks it's okay, then it's a personal problem.
What else can you do, just accept it.
The most urgent thing now is to find a place to stay and solve the problem of livelihood.
Bai Ye got up, got dressed, washed up, and went out to find a real estate agent.
He soon followed the traces and came to the largest real estate agency in the city center, Mifa Real Estate.
Standing at the counter was a smiling man, who looked to be in his forties or fifties.
He put down the register in his hand, showing a professional smile,
"Hello, young man, are you here to rent a house?"
"Yes, I am."
"What's your monthly budget?"
"Well... within 50,000 yen."
The original body after crossing over left Bai Ye with more than 100,000 yen.
It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing.
"Within 50,000 yen, let me see..."
The agent took a list from the shelf, opened it, and pointed to one place saying,
"How about this one? It's sunny and faces south. It's located in the city center, and the decoration is also very good. Including the balcony, it's more than 70 square meters, only 40,000 yen per month. And the landlord is very nice, no deposit required, and water, electricity, and property fees are included."
The house Bai Ye moved out of had a monthly rent of 200,000 yen.
Looking at the picture in the register, the residence is in a high-end apartment building. The decoration is low-key and luxurious, no different from his previous place. There is no reason why the price would be so much cheaper.
Bai Ye realized something was wrong and immediately became alert.
It's a trap, it must be a trap!
Before he crossed over, he had been renting houses for many years, and many bad real estate agents like to do this.
They first publish fake listings to lure customers in.
Then they say the house has already been rented out and introduce worse listings.
Many young people who want to save trouble fall for it unknowingly.
Perhaps seeing the customer's worries, the agent said with a smile,
"This house is currently the one with the best cost-effectiveness. If you're free, you can go see it now."
"I'm free today."
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."
The agent called for his assistant, gave him some instructions, and then walked out of the counter:
"I'm sorry, sir, for keeping you waiting."
"No, no."
"Sir, please follow me."
With that, he walked directly towards the high-end car outside.
Suzuki Bai Ye didn't have any expectations for the upcoming house viewing.
After all, he doesn't have much money now, just find a place to stay for now.
Once he earns enough money, he'll change to a better place.
Ah, he thought that after crossing over, he would become a phoenix from the ashes, but it seems he's still the same bird as before.
The car drove for less than ten minutes before the agent stopped and turned off the engine:
"We're here, sir, get out of the car."
This fast?
Bai Ye got out of the car, feeling incredible.
This place is located in the city center, very close to the Mifa City Hall building.
The surrounding buildings are either rich or noble, none of them are cheap residential buildings.
Could it be that the listing information is all true?
The two took the elevator to the fourth floor.
The agent took out a large bunch of keys from his pocket, making a pleasant clinking sound.
The way he looked for keys was like a demolished millionaire in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
"Let me see... No. 4... Oh, I found it."
The agent took out a key with "404" printed on it, unlocked it, and pushed open the door.
The interior design of the house is European style, mainly in black and white.
The room is clean and tidy, with complete home appliances, and excellent lighting.
Whether it's the bedroom, living room, or spacious balcony.
The delicate texture is a whole level higher than his previous residence.
The location is clearly better, and the decoration is also better.
It's hard to imagine that the price is less than a quarter of his previous place!
Suzuki Bai Ye looked around, feeling quite moved:
"Is this really only 40,000 yen?"
"That's right." The agent showed a kind smile: "If you're satisfied, you can sign the contract now."
"Really?"
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, still feeling something was off.
He looked at the agent who had walked to the bedside and asked his doubts:
"I want to know why the rent here is so cheap?"
"Cheap? This price is very normal."
Bai Ye was stunned for two seconds, thinking he had misheard:
"This is normal?"
The agent pulled the curtains, dividing his face into two halves by the light and shadow:
"This rent is a very common accident house price in Mifa City."
