Pujiang Community.

On the second floor of a residential building, Higashinohara walks in a corridor with mottled walls.

The situation here was similar to that of the night when they left, and not far from the ground there were traces of the fierce battle left by the previous night's encounter with the alien demons, a huge cavity that had collapsed.

But what makes people feel a little chilling in their hearts is...

Last night, when they were caught off guard, they were suddenly attacked, and everyone didn't even bother to take the supplies and luggage in the room, and naturally no one cared about the body of the strange woman who was stabbed by Higashinohara.

At this time, Higashinohara walked to the partially collapsed hole on the second floor, and looked down, with the gloomy and temperatureless sunlight above his head, but where were there any corpses below?

This is not a deep mountain and old forest, and there are no jackals, tigers and leopards that like to drag people's corpses.

Camila and Kenjiro Nanami, who followed behind them, looked down at Higashinohara's line of sight and glanced at each other.

Although he didn't say much, he also felt a chill crawl up his spine like a cold poisonous snake.

Higashinohara took a closer look at Camilla, a man who was said to be from the hot zone of the West from the Free Federation of Yaman in the east-central region.

He couldn't help but speculate in his heart that he had the intention of temporarily replacing Hela, who had taken the initiative to ask for help this morning, but let him come... Could it be that this man also offended Gray. Mayne?

I'm afraid many people are speculating like this in their hearts.

Higashinohara didn't think it was like it, but it was not easy to judge it now, so he could only observe and observe first.

Anyway, when you enter here, everyone is a grasshopper on the same boat, and if something happens, no one can escape, so don't think about counting on the rescue of the investigation team guarding outside the community.

The three of them carefully searched from left to right, and although the body of the woman from last night disappeared, they did not encounter anything else.

......

"There are no problems on the second floor for the time being."

After a while, Higashinohara took the initiative to say to Nanami Kenjiro, "Nanami-san, notify the people outside to come in and move things, and we must transport our supplies out as soon as possible." ”

Kenjiro Nanami nodded silently, relaying the situation to the wireless communicator on his collar.

Unexpectedly, after a while, he shook his head, the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose blocked the expression behind him, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "They let us transport some of them out first." ”

Higashinohara was stunned when he heard this.

Immediately, he couldn't help but laugh a little, shook his head and said, "These guys are really cautious enough." ”

He glanced at Camilla, but the other party didn't say a word about it, and didn't seem to care.

Well, Higashinohara had actually noticed that this exotic man named Camilla hadn't cared much about anything since he passed through the [Border] gate.

He doesn't care like this, unlike Kenjiro Nanami with a pair of lifeless dead fish eyes.

Kenjiro Nanami is that even if he is in danger now, he may die at any time, he doesn't care about such a thing, and the expression on his face is estimated to not change in the slightest.

This kind of person is commonly known as being tired of living.

But the man named Camilla is different.

His "don't care" is more like something more worthy of his "care" waiting for him, so that he does not dare to have the slightest distraction...

As long as it doesn't affect yourself.

In this regard, Higashinohara has no intention of snooping on other people's privacy.

Since the people who provided them with "off-site support" outside did not come in, and these materials were their rations for the next few days, he naturally would not make any resistance at this time and would not take it or take it less, that is, he would not be able to get along with himself.

"Then let's take some back first, and we'll pick up the rest next time we send someone over, okay?" Higashinohara opened his mouth and said to the two.

It's a pity that neither of these two people seems to like to talk very much, and after hearing Higashinohara's words, the two of them just nodded silently, and then turned around and left.

Higashinohara was a little speechless when he saw this.

However, he does not reject this kind of character in his heart, it is always better to be quiet and willing to do things than Ji Yuanwen people who talk a lot but always steal and play tricks.

Next, until the three of them walked out of the easternmost room on the second floor where the living supplies were piled up, the entire residential building was still silent, like a dilapidated community abandoned in a dead world, there was no trace of anything, and the scene of the terror in the middle of the night last night and the sudden sense of watching seemed to be just an illusion.

When he walked towards the corridor, Higashinohara's heart relaxed slightly, and his eyes swept around and looked twice, secretly saying in his heart that maybe they were not mistaken.

There was no sign of those strange and terrible demons when they surveyed the whole building yesterday evening, and it was not until late at night that a horror show was staged.

When they came to this building today, there was still no trace.

I can't say, but the demons really can only... Or just prefer to be active late at night.

If this "law" is in line with all the demons in this world, then it will be relatively easy for him to investigate or act privately in the next five days.

Among the three people in the group, Higashinohara walked at the back, thinking about these in his mind.

When he was about to arrive at the entrance of the corridor, he subconsciously looked up and looked up, and his eyes passed through the Z-shaped corridor, and his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

In the black sanitation trash can that disappeared for no reason, it actually appeared again at the door of the girl who was invaded in the diary, could it be that after they evacuated in a hurry last night...

Moved back again?

Why is a trash can being moved around?

Higashinohara frowned slightly, a little confused, but the task he came here had been completed, and now he had to go back and join the investigation team first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lowered his head and stepped down the next step, his body stiffened slightly, and the tip of his nose twitched slightly subconsciously, as if he smelled a smell of oil smoke.

Where does the smell of oil smoke come from?

Higashinohara just had such a doubt in his mind.

But the sound of stir-frying in the oil pot came to my ears again, and I could even faintly hear a gentle and melodious humming sound, and a young girl standing in the simple kitchen humming and stir-frying vegetables inexplicably appeared in my mind, and the long ponytail tied up at the back of her head danced in the sun to create a cheerful silhouette.

Gradually, without anyone noticing, Higashinohara, who was carrying things down the corridor on the second floor, suddenly stopped, turned around stiffly and climbed up the corridor to the third floor.

Pedal pedal – !

One step, two steps, three steps...

When he climbed to the trash can on the third floor with his things, Higashinohara stopped abruptly, the confused expression on his face flashed, and the ups and downs in his body and emotions were forcibly smoothed out by the [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] that should be stimulated.

However, at this time, Higashinohara, who was supposed to go downstairs, appeared in front of the door of the house next to the corridor on the third floor, and not far in front of him was the black trash can that disappeared and reappeared.

At this time, his gaze inadvertently swept over the dusty windows of this house, but the scene in the room behind the glass made Higashinohara's eyes shrink suddenly.

The layout of the room and the things he could see from his vantage point in the humble kitchen matched the scene that had come to his mind when he had just lost control.

It's a weird scene.

But something seems to be missing...

By the way, it's the girl.

Higashinohara pulled out the sword at his waist without thinking, and now that it was time for this world to be wiped out by the tide, he didn't think that there would be any innocent girls in this gradually weathered and dilapidated residential building.

Recalling what he saw in Marpoli's diary this morning, Higashinohara gradually had a speculation in his mind, not surprisingly, this family used to live in the girl named Wang Dongyang, who was rumored to have invaded in the diary but refused to assist the police in solving the case.

So... Are you bringing me here?

Higashinohara put down what he was holding, carrying the sword in his right hand, and gently stroking the hidden door with his left hand.

Last night, after he dismantled the fragments of the unknown particle condensation he collected, he exchanged the source power points he obtained for 20 proficiency points, and rushed the eighth-order sword type selfless sword flow to [Intermediate 70/100] in one go, and now the power is even greater than before.

This is also the scene where he is looking forward to further brushing up the proficiency of the secret technique [Selfless Mirror Heart] and the secret mystery [One Sword Shura] after upgrading the sword type to the advanced level.

At that time, his strength under normal conditions and "perverted" (abnormal states) will be greatly improved, and if he is exposed one day after going out, he will have a better chance of surviving the two S-class rulings stationed in New Tokyo.

Whew!

Higashinohara didn't hesitate any longer, he took a breath and was about to push the door in.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden piercing and sharp knife sharpening sound in his ears, and the startled Higashinohara Huo Ran turned his head, but his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

Behind the entrance of the stairs when he came,

At some point, a figure carrying a black cold pig-killing knife and a blood-stained apron tied around his waist appeared, bending over and sharpening the knife in front of him.

That figure was naturally not a girl.

Looking at the beard and rough figure and the familiar sharpening posture, it is better to say that he is a butcher.

Butcher?

Wait, Higashinohara's mind suddenly appeared in Marpoli's diary of the Zhang Tuzi who was cheated on by his wife, and the name and everything about him gradually overlapped with the man in front of him who sharpened his knife.

Zhang Tuzi, whose real name is Zhang Jiteng, comes from "But Qi Ji is used to transport Xi, and Teng donkey and mule are driven by galloping." ”

Thinking of this, Higashinohara's face gradually became solemn, and he didn't continue to push the door and act rashly.

At the same time, the windowsill of the corridor on the fifth floor above Higashinohara's head.

At some point, a thin and grim woman appeared, looking down on the investigation team around the residential building with a cold face and condescendingly looking down on the "off-site support" outside.

Suddenly, she lowered her messy and dry hair in the wind slightly, gently stroked her slightly bulging but deadly abdomen, and whispered softly in a gentle tone:

"Good baby,

Mom will soon find you something to eat. ”
