At this moment, he used his phone to send a message to Assistant Manager Jiang Ran.

After sending the message, Wang Anjian closed his eyes. Although the door was still open, he didn't even have the energy to stand up now, let alone close the door.

......

Robert, one of the world's top ten serial killers, was currently wandering floor by floor.

His wandering wasn't ordinary wandering—he was constantly searching for targets to strike.

Since being assigned to Alice Apartment in Hua Country, he hadn't killed a single person.

Why?

Was it because he had turned kind-hearted?

Of course not.

During his six days here, he hadn't made a single move simply because killing these foreigners didn't give him that blood-boiling sensation.

He found it strange, since back in Maple Country, it wasn't like his hands were clean of Hua people's blood.

Whether hunting Hua people or Maple Country natives, both brought him pleasure and that thrilling blood-boiling feeling.

But here, for some inexplicable reason, he felt no urge to act.

He searched for the reason and found it quite simple.

Four words: language barrier.

In Maple Country, he had killed two ethnic Hua people—immigrants from this country.

One was an ethnic Hua woman in her twenties or thirties.

The other was an ethnic Hua little girl around eight or nine years old.

Both could communicate with him without any language issues.

But here was completely different.

They couldn't understand each other at all, having to rely entirely on phones.

It was extremely inconvenient.

The thrill of his hunts was completely gone. If he had to make a comparison, it was like many people watching Cherry Blossom Country adult videos only to find no Chinese subtitles—the same principle.

This resulted in his innate bloodlust remaining completely unstirred.

When he finally spotted a white person in the apartment complex, it turned out to be someone he knew.

That was Mike.

To be honest, Robert was also shocked to encounter Mike here.

He thought he was seeing things!

He remembered Mike clearly, especially since the last woman he severely injured before being captured was Mike's girlfriend and fiancée. She eventually died despite emergency treatment.

He thought to himself that Mike must desperately want to kill him, but unfortunately, had no opportunity.

Of course, that day when he made eye contact with Mike, he immediately fled—not because he feared Mike, but because he found Mike too troublesome to deal with and didn't want conflict with him.

Also, he hadn't forgotten why he was transferred from Maple Country's Alice Apartment to here.

He was notified that a live stream room user from another country used their privilege to transfer him here to kill someone.

He thought the target would be an extremely dangerous person, someone like himself.

But during an encounter a few days ago, he discovered that person was quite ordinary.

Of course, it could also be an act.

But he didn't pay much attention to it.

For him, killing a person was like killing a cat or dog.

Extremely simple, especially in this gun-prohibited country—it made things even easier for him.

He didn't have to worry about the other suddenly pulling out a gun for counterattack.

So, he planned to make his move and kill that person tomorrow night.

Aimlessly, he wandered up to the 7th floor and began pacing the hallway.

When he reached Room 704, he discovered the door wasn't closed, and there was actually someone lying on the floor.

That person seemed to have passed out.

Their face was pale and dreadful-looking.

Just then, Robert's right ear twitched as he heard elevator movement. He quickly hid in a corner of the hallway, peeking toward the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the 7th floor, and out stepped someone Robert never expected to see here—Jiang Ran!

Jiang Ran emerged from the 7th-floor elevator. He came here naturally because he received notice that an apartment resident required assistance from him, the assistant manager.

"Room 704, right? That would be Wang Anjian."

In the Alice Apartment residents' group chat, Wang Anjian's name appeared as "704+Wang Anjian."

So Jiang Ran knew which resident needed help this time, unlike last time with the clown.

When he reached the doorway of 704, it genuinely startled him.

Why was Wang Anjian, who had contacted him, lying here?

And he looked extremely weak and pale.

Jiang Ran quickly crouched down. As his hand moved to check Wang Anjian's forehead, his fingers accidentally brushed against Wang Anjian's face, feeling an unusual burning heat. When he actually touched the forehead, he found it even hotter.

He must be running a fever.

At this point, Jiang Ran assumed this was probably why Wang Anjian had contacted him.

Fallen ill, unable to care for himself alone.

Jiang Ran prepared to first drag Wang Anjian back into the bedroom inside.

As he stood inside the room, one hand gripping Wang Anjian's shoulder, bending down ready to pull him—

A shadow fell over him accompanied by the system's alert tone:

[Ding! Dangerous individual detected! Please distance yourself immediately! Points +10! Points +10! Points...]

Jiang Ran looked up and saw the white man he had encountered once before—Robert.

If this were before the clown incident, Jiang Ran wouldn't have paid Robert any mind, but after that experience, he couldn't afford to be careless.

Because Robert triggered the system, and he was actually the first person Jiang Ran encountered who gave +10 points.

That previous time he met Robert, the system had already given a warning, also +10, but as mentioned, that was before the clown incident.

Encountering him now, Jiang Ran would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous, but he forced himself to appear calm.

After all, the Danger Warning System hadn't issued the warning about imminent danger yet. Only when that alert came would he truly be in inescapable peril.

"Let me help you! (English)"

Standing in the doorway, Robert showed Jiang Ran a friendly, amiable smile.

Before Jiang Ran could even speak, Robert had already grabbed Wang Anjian's feet with both hands, cooperating with Jiang Ran to lift Wang Anjian up.

Although Jiang Ran didn't understand Robert's English, he understood the intention from the action.

Fine, let's get him inside first!

So Jiang Ran and Robert worked together to carry Wang Anjian into the bedroom.

As Jiang Ran prepared to place Wang Anjian on the bed, he noticed large bloodstains on the bed and blood on the floor.

Jiang Ran was now seeing danger everywhere, but upon closer inspection, he found these bloodstains had long dried—definitely not fresh.

Plus, aside from the continuous +10 points from Robert's presence, there were no other danger warnings nearby. So he temporarily set aside the mystery of these bloodstains and placed Wang Anjian on the bed.

After settling Wang Anjian on the bed, Jiang Ran pulled out his phone and opened the built-in translation app.

He turned to Robert and said:

"Thank you, Robert, for helping me move him inside. You can leave now. I'll handle things from here."

Jiang Ran wanted to urge Robert to quickly get away from him, preferably as far as possible.

But reality always seemed to run counter to his hopes.
