Even in the area of Tsugamihama, which was reclaimed from the sea, Ogawa Apartment is a high-end building in the nearby apartment complex.

This apartment is actually made up of two adjacent apartments, two fairly neat half-moon ten-story buildings, built facing each other.

If you can look down from above, the result must be amazing, because it is really a circle.

Seeing the apartment standing in front of it as if it was violating some kind of law, although the two ceremonies did not stop, they couldn't help but exhale softly.

The apartment is a circular apartment with a tall cement wall around it. There is only one road leading from the main entrance to the apartment, like the walkway in front of the Taj Mahal. There was only one way, which led to the lobby of the apartment.

"Hmm!!"

As she stepped inside the walls of her apartment, she felt a sudden wave of dizziness.

Although it was only for a very brief moment, she did capture the sudden and rather incongruous feeling of dizziness...... That's right, this place is really problematic.

"Did you feel like you were going to throw it up? I'm afraid that ordinary people have already really vomited out, and the moment they passed through the outer barrier, they ......"

While the girl's pace slowed down, Aozaki Orange came over with a cigarette, she looked completely nonchalant, and her tone was as relaxed as if she was commenting on the evening TV program.

"But your reaction is very slight, and that's fine, it's just the outer barrier. If you just feel uncomfortable, my advice is that it's better to just turn around and go back. ”

“…… It's such a disgusting place. The two ceremonies frowned slightly and pursed their lips, but they had no intention of turning back.

"Let's go, then."

Laughing softly, Aozaki Orange took the lead in opening the main entrance of the apartment and walked in.

The moment they entered the apartment, the two ceremonies felt a strange chill. The air outside is obviously cool at night, but the air in the apartment is very hot.

It was impossible to see the heat up too hard in this early summer season, and she felt like something was breathing.

That's right, it's stuffy like the air that surrounds your skin, for some reason...... It was as if I was inside the body of some giant creature.

“……！！”

Such an association made the girl's back can't help but have a chill, which is close to disgust, disgust to the point of goosebumps.

"Like a haunted house, the air is filled with an ominous aura that cannot be hidden. However, such buildings are not uncommon, because it is easy to build a building that drives people crazy. ”

The puppeteer seemed unaware of it, and as if she didn't think it was true, she walked straight in the direction of the elevator, the voice echoing through the empty apartment hall.

"For example, changing the color of the walls, or the position of the stairs, can create a sense of incongruity. It's just that if you live here every day, it's really amazing. ”

The two rituals didn't respond to this question, which wasn't part of her common sense, she just frowned and looked at her surroundings.

The interior walls seem to be uniformly painted cream white, looking extremely clean.

This apartment is a building that divides a circle into two half-moons from the center and then puts them together together.

The lobby is the central space that holds the two buildings together, and it is not possible to go directly from the east building to the west building above the second floor. You have to go back to the central space and then go through the hall.

There is no management room or security office for the management of the building, as it is said that the building was originally used as a staff dormitory or something, and the first and second floors were used as office facilities.

However, it is no longer in use, probably because of the recession, so it can only be used for rent, so it is no longer possible to waste electricity so much.

In the center of the rotunda on the first floor, there is only a huge column that resembles the spine of an apartment

It is an elevator that moves between the first and tenth floors, and there are steps on the sides of the columns. The elevator and staircase are enclosed against the wall in the shape of a column, which feels very creepy.

"How many layers are better, formula?"

The elevator door slowly opened, and the two walked in, and then Aozaki Orange asked the girl behind her while looking at the button on the elevator floor.

"It's okay, the time is too tight, and Hei Tong has only found some superficial information...... Do we have any choice but to find it layer by layer? The two ceremonies frowned slightly and said.

"In that case, won't you fall into the rhythm of the other party?" Aozaki Orange said this as a matter of course, but the movements of her hands were not ambiguous, and she had already pressed the button.

The first and second floors used to be designed as office facilities, so no one lived there, so if you want to search, you have to start from the third floor.

"I'd like to remind you that from the moment you enter the apartment, this is already a man-made otherworld......"

Then the puppeteer turned to the girl and said.

"In terms of that person's attainment in enchantment, as long as he is determined to pay the price, then he can indeed cause this kind of otherworldly mystery, which is no longer in the realm of magic."

That's right, this is a mysterious realm that is impossible with the common sense of the world now.

It is necessary to exercise forbidden powers beyond the reach of human beings in order to be called magic.

The two ceremonies were about to say something when they heard a "buzzing" sound, and the elevator under their feet began to operate, and an unnaturally loud mechanical sound sounded.

At the same time, there was a strange feeling coming, the body was obviously rising, but there was a feeling of falling to the ground.

“……”

“……”

Almost at the same time, the two women frowned, they tacitly did not speak, but carefully looked at the design of the elevator.

In the elevator, the corners of the walls are slightly curved, like twisted columns.

"Does such a design make any sense?"

"How do I know that this is obviously completely different from when I was in charge of construction before, okay?" Aozaki Orange said lightly, then she hesitated for a moment and added

"Kuroki said that the elevator was faulty from the beginning. Residents complained about it, and by May even the elevator was unused...... I suspect it may be an attempt to get the occupants used to it and create some kind of illusion. ”

After all, he is also a part-time architectural designer, no matter how you say it, the knowledge and skills in this area are naturally pointed to a certain extent.

So Aozaki Orange seems to have some vague thoughts, but there are too few things to see now to be able to confirm.

At this time, the elevator door opened, and after exiting the elevator, you were greeted by a corridor leading to the East Building. Since the entrance to the apartment is south-facing, the hallway extends in the direction of six o'clock.

This corridor leads to the outside, and at the end of the outer wall turns in the direction of three o'clock, which is the outer wall of the West Building. The entrance to the various rooms of the apartment is on the outside.

The staircase is a type that curves at a right angle, extending upwards and downwards as if wrapping around the elevator. It's a spiral staircase. Corresponding to each floor, there is a door open in the middle of the staircase, which seems to lead to the hall of each floor.

The two ceremonies and Aozaki Orange walked out of it, just standing in front of the elevator door and looking at the scene in front of them.

"From here, it's supposed to be 301 to 305, and then it's over...... If you want to get to the West Building, it seems that you need to take a detour from the back of the elevator. "Aozaki Orange just took a brief look and knew the specific layout.

"Isn't it enough to connect directly, why bother?"

"That's so uninteresting, it's made like this, so that black and white can be clearly distinguished......"

The puppeteer said thoughtfully, she looked up at the ceiling, "The east building is inhabited, but the west building is vacant...... I'm afraid it's not just half of the guests, but the guy deliberately wants to keep it. ”

"This is simply a Liangyi, the embodiment of Tai Chi."

……

……

"Senior Kuroki, do we really have to wait outside here?"

In Aozaki Orange's car, Asakami Fujino couldn't help but ask.

"Probably...... After all, there is no way for us to follow up, and it may drag them down. Kuroki also thought for a moment, and would reply, "At least if something really goes wrong, we can still ask the outside world for help." ”

"Yes......" The eldest lady of the Asagami family couldn't help but sigh, as if she was a little unwilling.

Her MONOCULUS is not as advanced as the two rituals, but in many cases it is more useful than the two ceremonies, but at critical moments, the difference in the hierarchy of the MONOCULUS is indeed reflected.

She can only carry out physical destruction, but the two rituals can "kill" the concept, whether it is a distorted spiral or a measured future, and she can simply "kill" it with a knife in her hand.

It's like a certain space is filled with poisonous gas, which is a no-brainer for Asagami Fujino, but the two rituals can directly "kill" the poisonous gas itself.

Therefore, Asakami Fujino can only stay outside together as a left-behind person, after all, if she follows up, there are too many sudden possibilities that she can't deal with. Her ability is only in attack, not in defense.

"Anyway, what is the relationship between you and Miss Liangyi, Senior Heitong?"

It seemed that the atmosphere in the car was too dull, and Fujino Asakami, who was sitting in the back seat, spoke again after being quiet for a while. She looked like she was looking for a topic at random, but secretly pricked up her ears.

Hei Tonggan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was also slightly stunned, and then stretched out an index finger and scratched his cheek with some embarrassment, and after hesitating, he said, "It's a classmate...... A friend I met in high school. ”

"Friends? This is not clear yet, right, this is not good, Senior Kurokiri, you should work harder......" The girl seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this answer.

But just as she was about to continue to ask, Hei Tonggan had already changed the topic, he looked in the rearview mirror and asked, "Anyway, Fujino, my sister also transferred to the Liyuan not long ago, do you know her?" ”

"Senior Kurokiri's sister? I do know it, but flowers are a very good girl......" Asakami Fujino replied subconsciously, "But I dropped out of school two months ago, and now it's just a phone ......call."

Her voice stopped abruptly as she saw Kurokiri, who was in the passenger seat, winking at herself through the rearview mirror.

Just as the girl turned her head to look to the side, the sound of exaggerated footsteps rang out, and she came straight towards their car without pause.

A red shadow appeared in the darkness at the end of the road.

It was a man with dark blonde hair and blue eyes, and a face as deep as if it had been carved out, with an elegant temperament. Judging by the age, it looks like a German in his twenties.

A beautiful man in a red coat who looked like a painting came to the car and raised his hand cheerfully as if to say hello

"Good evening, you're on the orange side."

"Miss Orange?" Frowning slightly, Kurotong looked at the man standing outside the car door, and he sensed some kind of undisguised hostility.

"yes, even if she knew about Araya, she probably didn't know that there was another old classmate here......"

The man's face was full of kind smiles, as malicious as a snake.

"But it's okay, kill you and give her a greeting gift, as a greeting."
