You can cancel your membership now, aren't you going to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran started the treadmill and began to run: \"I'm not afraid of these things, so I don't need to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too. She was my good sister, my close friend. I'm not afraid either. If ghosts really exist in this world, even if she became a ghost, she would absolutely never hurt me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she spoke frankly and openly, she was still devastated and listless because of her good friend's death, as if she had lost her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't wearing makeup today, which made her look less pretty than yesterday and the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Jiang Ran noticed that her black long hair was clearly dry and brittle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human body is incredibly wondrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything is interconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if your eyes are uncomfortable, the problem might not be with your eyes, but with your liver, which then affects your eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xiao An's dry, brittle black hair was probably due to psychological factors, the blow of her friend's sudden death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has that coach resigned or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Jiang Ran was already running, his pace getting faster and faster, but his speech was very steady, without any panting or breathlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one do you mean? Is it... that new coach you were paying attention to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao An forced a smile: \"That coach is pretty unlucky too.

You would never think these two were the same person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you met him, you'd just think they were people who looked alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, he killed Xiao An's sister, found the right opportunity, resigned, and moved on to the next city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several major characteristics of this type of serial killer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the people they kill are all disguised as suicides; it will never look like murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid bringing trouble upon themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, they roam through many places, presenting themselves to the public with completely different images and identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, and this is the special part about their chosen targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of gender or age, there's only one thing in common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are people who are deeply mired in despair but are just about to embrace hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao An's sister was exactly like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sick, dumped by her fiancé, deeply in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, she not only got a boyfriend, but her illness also improved, and her life was once again filled with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember, in the last two years, there was a TV drama in Cherry Blossom Country called 'Calamity'. The protagonist it depicted was this type of deranged serial killer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That protagonist was the embodiment of calamity, bringing disaster to people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all this was just speculation, even though he was ninety percent sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was right at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of footsteps abruptly rang out behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them turned around, thinking it was just someone passing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those footsteps stopped right behind them and didn't move away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the two of them turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing behind them was a man who looked about thirty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was wearing a black tracksuit, with running shoes on his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hairstyle was the most common short cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thin, narrow face, the whole man gave off an aura of neatness and efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>",1393,"2026-06-09T04:42:25.177Z",1,"novelbin.me","f0bb5cbb07a168699312f5993a598ae073c6ac136515431559baa20d7260114a","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-530","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-528",670,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-cover.jpg"]
