Silent-Hill, located in Maine, was once a very cozy, lakeside town suitable for retirement.

Despite the occasional bad rumors and a few previous disappearances, the town is still a peaceful holiday destination.

The inhabitants never dreamed that the town they lived in would suddenly become famous because of some incredible horror and strange tale:

――In this town, there are two parallel worlds created by "gods".

Although they don't know what these guys are doing sneakily, every time they see a cultist dressed in strange costumes, the local residents will not hesitate to call the police, or take out a bat from their homes and beat up the cultists who pass by.

Until one day later, the believers suddenly disappeared en masse.

Immediately after that, reports of disappearances from residents and tourists in the town also suddenly began to increase.

Then, at some point, a horrific rumor began to circulate among the people that the town would occasionally turn into something else:

Sometimes, Silent Hill will turn into a foggy "fog capital", and in the overwhelming gray fog, you can see vague and strange figures.

On top of that, Silent Hill could turn into a bloody hell with countless monsters roaming around, and missing cultists turned into bloody walking corpses to join the monsters.

Attracted by this rumor, in addition to many adventurous humans who came to Silent Hill to explore, there were even many heretical creatures who came to see what this legendary "paradise" really looked like.

Although the vast majority of visitors fail to find the entrance to the alternate world, a small number of them do seem to have found a way to the alternate world, perhaps into a foggy world or into a bloody and cruel hell. And then......

They never came back.

As time passed, the number of warriors who dared to go to Silent Hill to die became less and less, and the tourism industry in the area also declined significantly after the peak period.

Then, a new rumor appeared:

The mysterious monster that created the two worlds in Silent Hill and was hailed as the "Lord of Paradise" by the cultists in the town has left Silent Hill for other places.

And now, the Lord of Paradise, who has been hidden in other cities, has once again received a visit from a "brave man" who has died.

Standing in front of the dark green security door of Lin Miao's house, Zhang Luo knocked on the door and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

With the help of Frankenstein's top hacking skills, he easily obtained the address information left by Lin Miao in the hospital when he was still working as a nurse.

After waiting patiently for a minute, after confirming that there was indeed no one in Lin Miao's house, Zhang Luo used domain control, instantly destroyed the double lock of the other party's security door, and then directly opened the door and walked into Lin Miao's house.

The first thing that catches your eye is a small but very warm living room, whether it is furniture or wallpaper, it is a soft warm color, and the sun at three o'clock in the afternoon shines in from the window, reflecting the living room exceptionally brightly.

But despite this, the moldy and rotten fruit on the coffee table, and the thin layer of dust on the floor, still indicate the fact that the owner has not returned for a long time.

Zhang Luo casually pressed the light switch next to the door and tried it, and found that the power in this room had already been cut off, and it seemed that he should owe the electricity bill.

Behind the security door, he also saw the pair of women's leather shoes that Lin Miao had worn when he went to his home.

“……”

Walked around the living room and bedroom, and found no obvious clues. Zhang Luo opened the Executioner's Eye, where he could see the observation mode of ghosts, but the result was still nothing.

There are all kinds of signs that Lin Miao did go home, but Zhang Luo did not find slippers in the house. It seems that the woman may have suddenly disappeared from her home. Or they left the house before they had time to change their shoes. In Zhang Luo's opinion, if she had encountered a sudden extreme shock, the woman might have rushed downstairs in slippers......

Thinking of this, he immediately walked down the stairs slowly, carefully observing the scene in the corridor as he walked, looking for clues left by Lin Miao.

Then, on the wall of the corridor on the second floor, a footprint and the inconspicuous sporadic blood stains next to it attracted Zhang Luo's attention.

Even in this old family building, which is not managed by a property management company and is full of footprints on the walls, the footprints can be regarded as standing out from the crowd, looking much fresher than other footprints, and the simple lines on the soles are like those left by slippers.

"Kicked the wall while going downstairs? This guy is in a hurry. ”

Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Zhang Luo took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the footprints on the wall, and then continued to walk down the stairs and back to the courtyard downstairs.

Because it is an old family building, the yard here is not large, and there are a few old cars parked in it, and you can enter the wide street after walking less than 20 meters through the alley.

――If Lin Miao really escaped from his home, he would obviously choose a crowded street first, rather than running into the narrow alleys behind.

Because of this, Zhang Luo did not check the suspicious-looking alley behind him, but walked directly onto the sidewalk, looked at the street with cars around him, and lowered his head in thought.

If Lin Miao "disappeared" on the street, it would be a bit troublesome, because there are too many pedestrians and vehicles passing by every day, even if there are really any clues left, it will be difficult to find them again.

In this way, the idea of finding the entrance to another space in the city by tracking Lin Miao's whereabouts seems to have become a luxury......

"Hmmm......"

After thinking about it with his eyes closed, Zhang Luo immediately thought of an idea.

Since it is impossible to find the location of Lin Miao's disappearance through normal means, he can only summon his "reinforcements" and forcibly open the entrance to the "paradise".

Thinking of this, he returned to Lin Miao's house and locked the door, used the unstable portal to return to the courtyard of "Freddy Film Company", stood in the dark courtyard and asked loudly, "Is the triangle head there?" ”

As if responding to his call from the underworld, Zhang Luo's eyes suddenly shrouded in a thick shadow, and then, the executioner with a butcher's knife and a pointed metal helmet suddenly appeared in front of him without warning, looking down at him condescendingly.

Seeing that the other party appeared, Zhang Luo said his request straight to the point:

"Friends from Silent Hill, I hope you can help me open the door to 'Paradise'." (To be continued.) )
