Roppongi, inside an old residential building.

"The resentment of [Hell Apartment] is decreasing at a constant rate...... Was it finally discovered by those guys? ”

Moonshadow Chigusa, who was eating potato chips, greedily sucked her fingers and moved the mouse over the black vortex that represented the "Hell Apartment" to check the situation.

This weirdness was "planted" by him where he got this laptop, and in his strategy, like "Gap Eye", it belongs to the type of "secretly developed".

From the perspective of "resentment investment", over the years, it has grown secretly and returned several times the cost.

Therefore, even if he is eliminated, he does not care.

Not to mention...... Anyone who wants to eat this work will have to pay a considerable price.

"This 'beast trap'-like work is not as simple as it seems on the surface...... Let's see who the hunter is and who is the prey who stepped on the trap......"

……

Inside the Ikebukuro Royal Copo Apartment.

The three of them moved down the stairs.

However, those earthbound spirits continued to surge up from below as if they were endless, and gradually there was a tendency to fill up the already narrow staircase.

Even though Mochizuki Ayano's spear skills were precise and strong, the little bird Yuma bow beside her was constantly taking cover, constantly eliminating the approaching Earth Bound Spirits......

However, with the gradual reduction of bullets and the continuous consumption of spiritual power and physical strength, the speed of the three of them gradually slowed down.

"These Earthbound Spirits...... And not driven out by us...... They are ...... resurrection."

Swapping into a new magazine, Mochizuki Ayano put the muzzle of the gun to the mouth of a groundbound spirit in front of him, and fired three shots in succession.

"This is Ichiro Ashino, the former resident of 303, and it appears a total of fifteen times...... The one who just got his jaw shattered by your punch was the former 501 householder, Miyoko Masuyama......"

"I didn't have much rune paper with me, so I won't be able to last long......"

As he spoke, the little bird Yu Zhengong punched continuously, dispersing several Earth Bound Spirits in front of him.

Hearing Mochizuki Ayano's words, her face was also a little depressed.

The originally soft hair was now soaked with sweat and wearily stuck to her forehead, as if she had just come out of the bath.

"I don't have enough bullets...... Step back. ”

After a quick glance at the magazine on her waist, Mochizuki Ayano took out two silver-white grenades and threw them down the stairs.

This time, I was just going to test it, and the equipment was mainly light and handy, but I didn't expect it to be so tricky.

What kind of existence is there in this apartment, after killing these residents, and imprisoning their souls here to resurrect continuously, they can't even be expelled.

Hell Apartments...... Is hell really connected?

Two loud explosions interrupted her thoughts, and countless Earth Binding Spirits were dispersed by the two [Spirit Grenade Type I], creating a large vacuum.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them pulled the ancient sand and ran straight down.

"Arrived, the first floor ......"

Yuma Tori took the lead and walked out of the stairwell on the first floor.

"Wait...... Here, when is ...... And the stairs down? ”

Mochizuki Ayano, who walked at the end, looked at the side of the stairwell with a complicated expression.

There, there was a dark staircase that continued to descend.

Looking down from the stairwell in the shape of a "well", the endless stairs stretch down, lingering in a cold light, and you can't see the bottom at all.

Countless figures of earthbound spirits slowly converged up the stairs.

Not to mention that when she came, there was no downward staircase in the stairwell on the first floor.

This building, which does not even have an underground parking lot, is not likely to continue downward from the spatial structure.

While she was stunned, the little bird Yuma Bow and Gu Yuansha had already run towards the location of the apartment gate.

Then, the two of them were also there.

Structurally, this is indeed an elevator hall on the first floor.

But what was supposed to be the door of the apartment turned out to be a pale wall.

The dark red blood stains and mottled skin on the walls seemed to mock the three of them silently.

And outside the window next to the wall, there was still a thick white fog, and it was impossible to see.

"No...... No way...... I've always counted it, and we obviously went down to the first floor, which is obviously the gate...... I'm going out ......."

The mood of the ancient sand is clearly close to collapse.

The apartment she had lived in for several years had become so strange and terrifying.

Just when the three of them were confused.

Swish.

The elevator door slowly opened again.

Inside the elevator, the woman in red looked at them expressionlessly, and in a pale tone, she mechanically repeated the previous words: "The elevator is going down." ”

Staring at the woman's pale face with a thick foundation, Mochizuki Ayano smiled slightly.

Hundred Eyes Pupil Technique: Inflammation.

Golden flames shrouded the woman in red in the elevator.

The woman in red in the elevator did not react, as if the flames that enveloped her body did not exist.

"You're no ordinary wraith...... If my guess is correct, the souls of the residents chosen by the lights have remained here forever, and even if the physical body can and can only take the elevator you control to leave the apartment, they will lose their lives after leaving. ”

The woman in red did not answer, still staring quietly at the three people outside the elevator door, as if waiting for the guests to enter the elevator.

At the end of the stairwell, the Earthbound Spirits poured out from beneath the seemingly endless stairwell and struck at the three of them.

"Stay......"

Facing the Earth Bound Spirit that attacked in front of him, with only half of his body left and able to see the corrupt internal organs inside, Mochizuki Ayano calmly and numbly raised her gun and shot.

"Risa Sauce ......"

Behind him, there was the scream of a small bird and a witch.

"This is definitely the first floor, it's just that the door is covered by illusions, I'm going to get out of here......"

Gu Yuansha, who was so frightened that he collapsed, had already crossed the window with half of his legs at this moment, and he wanted to climb out of the window.

"Can't leave ......"

Mochizuki Ayano immediately yelled at her.

Let's not talk about whether you will reach the periphery of the apartment if you go out of the window.

Leaving after being selected by the light is highly likely to trigger this weird rule.

The victims in the file all died outside the confines of the apartment.

Just because you can leave doesn't mean you can survive.

Kotori Yumayu immediately rushed forward and stopped her.

It seemed that the three of them did not mean to take the elevator, and the elevator door began to close slowly.

At the moment when the elevator was about to close, the expressionless woman in the elevator smiled suspiciously.

Listening to the dense footsteps coming from the stairwell, and glancing at the few bullets and the last grenade, Mochizuki Ayano's eyes flashed with despair.

Whether it's up or down, it seems to be a dead end.

Is there no such thing as an exit to this apartment, except for the elevator?

"That guy" seems to have been greatly injured after facing the rift girl last time, and has been sleeping, and there is no way to come out for the time being.

Just when the three of them seemed to be at a dead end, outside the Ikebukuro Royal Copo apartment building.

Two monks wearing hats and black robes appeared at some point downstairs in the apartment.

The two stood quietly in the open-air parking lot, looking up at the apartment in front of them.

From the outside, the apartment is as peaceful and brightly lit as it is on a daily basis.
