Under the gloomy and gloomy sky, even if the morning sun, which was as warm as a boiled egg, had just just shown half of its face from the distant eastern sky, it looked completely devoid of any vitality, and the listless light made people feel the slightest warmth.

Higashinohara cocked the neckline of his windbreaker, trying to give himself some warmth.

But in the end, it was just in vain.

If you think about it, it's no wonder that the people of the Inquisition Division call the world behind the Gates of the Boundary "Hell".

I don't know if I read some depressing records in that diary, at this time, even Higashinohara, who had lived in this world for more than 20 years in his previous life, felt that everything around him was very "underworld".

I don't feel the slightest breath of the sun....

At this moment, a gust of morning breeze and chill came out of the cracks in the upside-down high-rise buildings not far away, and blew back and forth on the empty streets, and the sound of devil crying sobs penetrated through the cracks in everyone's necklines.

For a while, many of the non-fleshy superpowers in the investigation team couldn't help but shiver, and a layer of fine goosebumps aroused on the surface of the skin.

At this moment, most of the survey team in the temporary station on the street had all woken up, and from time to time their eyes drifted to Gray who was sitting not far away with his eyes closed. Mayne.

Now there are two paths before them,

Or maybe there's only one way!

Because if they want to get back alive, they have to gamble their luck and return to the residential building of the neighborhood where they were frightened at midnight last night to get back the supplies they didn't have time to pack up when they retreated in a hurry.

You know, in seven days, if they didn't have those supplies, then even if they didn't die in the hands of those strange and unpredictable demons, I am afraid they would have to starve themselves to death.

So that's their only option.

But at this moment, everyone was still quiet, and no one took the initiative to mention this stubble.

Such a terrifying thing happened in that residential building last night, especially thinking that there might be more than one terrifying demon in the building, everyone's eyes couldn't help but drift to the injuries that were hit by the demon in the dark last night.

At that time, except for Ji Yuanwenren, a fifth-order meat system superpower, who protected himself with both fists in time, the other people's ribs were almost broken a dozen, and some bone spurs pierced into the lobes of their lungs, and they coughed up blood from the middle of last night to the present...

For a while, a chill surged in everyone's hearts.

The investigation team was divided into two groups, one was the black-robed enforcement team of the Adjudication Division, and the other was hired from outside, such as Higashinohara and Hela.

Obviously, there is no equality between the two sides.

Although the conscious people are concerned about the materials left in that building to keep them alive, no one wants to be the first bird to explore the way for others, lest they die when they don't know how to die.

For a while, everyone looked up from time to time You look at me, I look at you, and their eyes drifted to the Adjudication Division and the group twice, and the atmosphere in the morning suddenly became a little subtle.

Higashinohara also seemed to sense something.

But he's different.

On the one hand, no one knows better than him what this so-called "hell" is, and on the other hand, it is the diary he just finished reading by the morning light this morning.

Although the diary is only half of it, the woman named Marberry smashed her face frantically with her face after she found out that her husband was cheating with the wife of the butcher upstairs.

According to Higashinohara's analysis, he could probably guess that Marberry should not have committed suicide and died in bed later, otherwise there would not have been a diary of May 22.

The possibility of someone else writing is too low, and it is difficult to write about the content and mental activities of this day in such detail.

In connection with the strange situation that Marberry showed last night, Higashinohara guessed that the poor woman named Marberry was likely to suddenly change into that appearance under the influence of an unknown "tide", and it seemed that it should belong to Gray last night. What Myne calls an "unconscious" demon.

As for smashing the floor in the middle of the night and repeating words like "liars, men are liars" all the time, these two are more like manifestations of "unconscious" tending to instinct.

At this time, the only suspicious point in Higashinohara's heart is to sort it out according to the timeline.

If Marberry was knocked unconscious and stuffed under the bed by her scumbag husband, who had just been married for more than half a year, she woke up and tried to commit suicide, but it coincided with the arrival of the "tide" and finally became an unconscious demon.

So who recorded the diary of the day?

Can you keep a diary while unconscious?

Or maybe she didn't lose consciousness immediately at the time, and her consciousness may have been gradually lost in the process of constant "alienation", so she was able to record those contents in her diary.

This seems to be a reasonable explanation.

So the question now is, since Marberry became an alien demon when the unknown "tide" came, what about her husband and the woman who was cheating?

Was the alienated Marberry killed in revenge?

Will they also be alienated by the tides?

In other words, the tides were just a necessary and insufficient condition for the alienation of people at that time, just like the relationship between "wet ground" and "rain".

Wet ground is not necessarily caused by rain, but rain does make the ground wet.

Similarly, the world that Higashinohara was familiar with in his previous life has become a "hell" in the eyes of the people in the world he is in now, and the alienation of humans into "alien demons" in the past must be related to the tides, but the tides may not necessarily make everyone "aliens".

So what are the "necessary conditions" for alienation to occur?

Thinking of this, Higashinohara couldn't help but fall into thought, and it seemed that something was faintly grasped in his mind.

It's a pity that half of that diary was torn up by someone who doesn't know, otherwise Higashinohara might be able to analyze and restore the so-called "tide" from the content later, what kind of impact did it have on human beings? Gray. What are the different levels of the essence of the alien demons in Myne's mouth?

These are all fogs.

However, if you want to go back to the residential building in that neighborhood to investigate, Higashinohara has a few advantages that no one else has, and that is the diary in his hand.

From the perspective of a newlywed woman who has just moved to this community, day by day, it records the general situation between each family and neighborhood of that residential building, and now, I don't know how many years later, when the world is rampant in silence, this diary can almost be seen as a "guide to the illustrated book of the alien demons" in this community.

If Higashinohara returned to that residential building again, he would casually walk into a house, and combined with Marberry's diary records, Higashinohara would be able to roughly recall what kind of people lived in that family many years ago.

It's not about knowing oneself and knowing one's other.

But at the very least, it can also make him not look at each other and be so passive when he encounters anything.

......

A makeshift camp on the street, Gray, who has been keeping his eyes closed. Myne finally opened his closed eyes, swept his gaze over the people gathered around him, and said in a voice that was not light:

"I don't need to say much about this, I want to say another point, we have to investigate the movements of those demons, why we have already checked the community yesterday evening, but at night the demons reappeared without warning, where are they hiding? Do they have a regular pattern of activities? ”

Hear Gray. With Mayne's words, everyone's faces also showed thoughtful expressions.

That's right, if the residential buildings in that neighborhood are really full of strange demons, why is there no movement during the day and even in the evening, and when it is late at night, the demons immediately dance wildly.

Does this mean that the demons only act at night?

Is it the daylight in hell that restricts them?

Or is it just that the Aliens prefer to act at night?

It was important for the group to understand this, as it was about how they would spend the next six days safely.

Speaking of which, Gray. Myne paused and continued, "Before these things are figured out, it is impossible for all the people behind us to approach unexpectedly, so the next person I named, your task is very important, responsible for infiltrating the community to re-investigate, and the rest of us will all be outside to support at any time." ”

Hear Gray. With Mayne's words, the atmosphere suddenly tensed.

Some of the hired people even felt bitter in their hearts. Myne must be selected from among the people they employ, is that what the Adjudicators hired us for?

Support?

No kidding.

If something happens, it's estimated that anyone will run faster.

Sure enough, all the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

If I had known that I would have to come to this eerie ghost place this time, and I would not be able to go back for seven days like a Jedi's survival, then no matter how generous the conditions offered by the Adjudication Division were, I would not have signed up for this social recruitment if I killed them, and it would be the biggest tragedy to have a life and a lifeless flower.

"Nanami Built."

Just when everyone was so nervous that the air froze a little, Gray. Myne spoke, his voice not soft and focused on Kenjiro Nanami's pseudonym.

At this moment, Kenjiro Nanami's nose once again set up the usual pair of sunglasses to block his silent dead fish eyes, and also blocked the look in his eyes at this time.

It's just that the other people around who were not named were secretly happy while breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts, and while looking at Kenjiro Nanami in the crowd who was dragging his empty right arm in the wind, his eyes couldn't help but be full of sympathy.

Sure enough, no one can scare your superiors, otherwise you will be given small shoes to wear sooner or later.

Last night, when they were full of evacuations of that kind of residential building, no one guessed that there must be information hidden from them in this operation, and they all swallowed their anger and dared not speak, but only this man stood up, and this time he was sent to such a dangerous place to explore the way?

Not to mention the appearance of a third-level alien demon with a high blue danger, even if it was the alien demon with the weird ability to use his head as a big hammer to smash people last night, I'm afraid it is not so easy to deal with.

Alas... I can only wish him good luck in my heart.

Everyone was thinking like this.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Gray. Myne suddenly stroked his chin, and his gaze swept over the people around him again, "But one person, maybe not enough, I think maybe I should follow one more person, in case something happens after entering, I can have a response." ”

Still want to send someone?

You must know that among the ten people hired by the investigation team, one of them, except for Higashinohara, was injured in the battle with the alienated Marpoli last night, and is still lying miserably on the ground, looking like they have more breath and less air, and they may die in this hell at any time.

Hence Gray. If Myne wanted to send more investigators, he had to choose from the remaining eight people, and his own personnel from the Adjudication Division of the investigation team were automatically ignored for such tasks.

No one dared to argue with anything.

Only in Gray. When Myne's gaze swept over, they all lowered their gaze unconsciously.

Gray. Seeing this, Myne couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

In fact, he already had a candidate in mind, but he somewhat enjoyed this kind of control and domination of other people's lives, and got all kinds of awe-filled pleasure from it.

What a group of cowardly and weak humans...

Moments later, Gray. Myne coughed dryly, and was about to announce a second candidate.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the voices of two people suddenly came from front of him and behind him.

"I'll go."

"Let me go!"

The words fell, and the surroundings suddenly fell a little quiet.

I've seen PUBG...

But no one has ever seen anyone who takes the initiative to "beg for death".

You know, the investigation that lurks in is said to be a pathfinder, but when you walk into that eerie residential building, I'm afraid that a person who is not careful will really die.

Of these two people who took the initiative to "not be afraid of death", one of them was naturally Higashinohara.

Higashinohara looked past Gray. Myne, however, was a little surprised to fall on Hela, who took the initiative to apply at the same time as him.

Hela, who had light blue shoulder-length hair, glanced at Higashinohara with a slight light in her eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Higashinohara smiled bitterly and shook his head in his heart, he had something waiting to go back to investigate and verify... But what is this guy here to join in?

However, for Gray, who enjoys the sense of superiority in controlling the fate of others. Although the second person he wants to send out is Higashinohara, a teenager who also contradicted him last night, using a trick to "kill chickens and monkeys" to warn the hired humans.

Outcome... But it seems to be somewhat counterproductive.

Taking a deep breath, Gray. Myne's face suddenly turned cold, and he spoke, "Since you want to go, then go, but... Hela stays, replaces with Camilla, and the three of you set off together to investigate. ”
