Now it was 99 inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ultra-large screen was truly satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he never used to like watching TV or movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During school, he buried himself in studies. After graduation, he was busy with company sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this past year at Alice Apartment, he'd finally started living for himself, trying things he'd rarely or never done before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like watching TV and movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao wasn't sure if he was some kind of psychopath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't care for other genres, only loving foreign horror and thriller films.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such as: \"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,\" \"House of Wax,\" \"Friday the 13th.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now he was watching a foreign film: \"It.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned off all the lights, only lighting five white candles on the coffee table, creating an intense atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wang Tao was getting into it, during the film's climax,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thumping and banging noises came from upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned and looked up at the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the movie started, chaotic noises had begun from upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'd stop, then start again. Stop, then start again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was already the fifth time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't take it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he turned on the lights, went out, intending to go upstairs to 904 and ask what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the 9th floor, he heard chattering in the hallway. The noise grew louder as he approached 904.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao looked around - he couldn't understand how other 9th floor residents tolerated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He certainly couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he knocked firmly. No answer the first time. Only after the second knock did the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall male student around 20 years old answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood a head taller than Wang Tao, with a much larger frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall student looked down calmly at Wang Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao said evenly: \"I live downstairs in 804. Could you keep it down a bit? Stop jumping around on the floor. It's disturbing my rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Wang Tao suddenly remembered his fourth murder victims - that family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd gone to reason with them, but it didn't work, and they had terrible attitudes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, sorry about that, we'll be more careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the tall student looked genuinely apologetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this attitude, Wang Tao thought college students were easier to reason with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Problem seemingly solved, Wang Tao turned to leave. Through the gap before the door closed, he saw quite a few people inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably college students having a party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wang Tao recall his own college days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The campus goddess he'd admired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whom he'd personally strangled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his love for her had been real, just like with the wife he later married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They got together because she resembled his college crush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad all these women turned out to be promiscuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, who was at the door? My food delivery?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside 904, a female student asked the tall guy who'd spoken with Wang Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall guy: \"No, some guy from downstairs asking us to keep quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep quiet? Are we being loud? This is an apartment! If he wants quiet he should get a villa! Right, Xiao Nuo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female student complained indignantly to Xiao Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Nuo was currently in the kitchen being lovey-dovey with her crush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she just absently agreed, \"Yeah, yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao returned to 804 and resumed watching \"It.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he watched, a question arose in his mind: Could supernatural monsters like this actually exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as this grand hypothesis was forming - perhaps something worthy of textbooks someday - more thumping noises came from upstairs, disturbing his peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao frowned and checked the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only ten minutes had passed, and they were at it again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting a few more minutes with no improvement, he had no choice but to return to 904's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time a different male student answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could you keep it down? Stop making all that banging noise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh. Sorry, we'll be more careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao gave the student an annoyed look before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who was it? My delivery?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same female student who'd asked earlier questioned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male student replied: \"No, that guy from downstairs again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him? What does he want now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Told us to be quieter, walk softer, stop banging on the floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, what a buzzkill. If he comes again, I'll answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the live stream room...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although viewers could freely choose camera angles from any floor or room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main camera still had the most viewers because it was AI-controlled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Automatically switching to the most interesting parts of the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently the most interesting part was Wang Tao's interactions with lab rat Xiao Nuo and her group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though nothing major had happened yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domineering Female CEO: [I don't remember this Wang Tao from 804. Has he killed anyone in the apartment?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dragon Girl: [I don't think so? I don't recognize him at all. Anyone else?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No impression.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Same, don't remember him.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domineering Female CEO: [Let me check his profile then.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewers could access any resident's information in Alice Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they'd all reviewed Wang Tao's records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domineering Female CEO exclaimed: [This Wang Tao's vicious even by normal standards! Accidentally killed someone as a kid, murdered his college crush and her boyfriend, later killed his cheating wife and children that weren't his, then murdered his upstairs neighbors. A born killer!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dragon Girl: [True, this background is rare - killing since childhood. But what stands out most is he was always top student, went to elite university, got high position at major company - a real high-IQ criminal. Much more interesting than your average thug.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged uncle who hadn't appeared all day suddenly commented excitedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Damn, I know this Wang Tao! He was middle management at a partner company. When he got arrested, I followed the case forever. Thought he'd been executed! How'd he end up in Alice Apartment?]\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-09T04:42:10.719Z",1,"novelbin.me","af99b715226dd4faf455ef54a2e26004f7b6a5ccafb0ac2a4b67668b4f1173bd","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-21","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-19",670,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-cover.jpg"]
