"I remember, that apartment, that's the apartment······"

"Legend has it that the people on 13th Street who died recently······ It has nothing to do with that apartment······"

"At the beginning, at the beginning, it was the Ping'an apartment that started to die first, and the mage invited by the community last time also went to that apartment to sit in the ······"

Look in the direction the man is pointing.

Through the dim light, in the sparse gap between the branches, a dark gray building could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Ping An Apartment?

Could this be the source of the strange incident on 13th Street?

After inquiring about this information, Erin turned his head to look at the person and said gently, "Is there anything else?" ”

“······ No, woo woo, we're just some gangsters who don't even look down on the gang, and I really don't know anything else······"

Hearing this, Erin nodded: "Since this is the case, then I won't disturb your good deeds!" ”

As he spoke, Erin snapped his fingers and directly mobilized the power of his heart, which stimulated all the lust in this yellow hair's heart at that moment.

Then he put away his gun and walked to another place where the thugs had gathered.

After Arryn left.

The yellow-haired man who was still standing, with red eyes, panted and walked towards his fellow who was still wailing on the ground.

"Don't come here······"

It wasn't long before a terrible wail rang out in the alley.

At that time, Arryn was in another alley, using the same method to other gangsters, extracting the information he wanted to know from their mouths.

When the third round of screams rang out.

The remaining thugs in the alleys of 13th Street seemed to have received a signal.

One by one, they fled in a panic to pass the time on weekdays, and the small alleys that made a small fortune by the way disappeared in just a few minutes.

······

The yellow fur didn't deceive Erin.

Among the other thugs, they had similar perceptions of the strange incident that happened on 13th Street.

Although they don't know what the truth of this strange incident is, they all believe that the source of all this is inseparable from the peaceful apartment.

After stepping on the dim lights, walking on the somewhat uneven sidewalk, and walking for a few hundred meters, Erin finally saw the "safe apartment" in the mouth of the thugs.

The street lights around the Ping'an apartment apartment, I don't know why they have gone out.

The night around the five-storey apartment was like a thick black satin, and a flock of crows circled and flew on the roof of the apartment building.

There was only one entrance to the apartment, and a large rusty iron door was hung with a large brand new lock.

"The door is so broken, the lock is quite new, wait, what is this?"

There was a blank piece of paper pasted next to the iron door, and Erin thought it was a small advertisement or something, but when he walked in and looked at it, he found that it was a "no entry" warning.

After glancing at the warning of "no entry", Erin had already deepened and entered the state of spiritual vision, staring at the peaceful apartment in front of him.

In the state of vision, the dilapidated apartment was filled with a gray dead air and a suffocating air of despair.

This strand of despair gathered together almost condensed into a rope, and I don't know how many pairs of desperate people in this apartment have gathered together bit by bit over the years.

These desperate gases are so huge that they are almost converging and forming.

After staying in this environment for a long time, even positive and optimistic people will slowly be bound by despair, and then little by little life loses hope.

"It's really safe, the apartment is not safe!"

Erin looked at the building and took a deep breath.

Although it seemed a little ominous to enter such an apartment in the middle of the night, Erin had no intention of changing his mind.

Because when I was just getting close to this apartment.

Erin received a message from the scales of fate.

[Ding, it has been detected that the building is pregnant with a second-level taboo 'Suffocating Shadow', and it is strongly recommended that the host contain the taboo before the taboo is successfully conceived, and it is predicted that after the taboo is collected, a large number of fate points can be obtained······ 】

After receiving the tip of the balance of fate, Erin knew that his previous guess was not wrong.

The strange events on 13th Street really have nothing to do with taboos.

Contrary to Arryn's expectations, though, it seemed to be a forbidden thing in the making.

Of course.

Before it is conceived.

This taboo has already caused such a big riot and caused so many deaths, it is enough to see that this taboo is not simple.

"Level 2 taboo, this seems to be a new word, well, it seems that this taboo 'Suffocating Shadow' seems to be much more powerful than the taboo 'Moonlight DJ' at the Morning Star Bar if it is really conceived."

The taboo 'Moonlight DJ' at the Morningstar Bar killed hundreds of people in just a few days.

I don't know how many deaths this second-level taboo 'Suffocating Shadow' will cause after it is successfully conceived.

Thinking of this, Erin exhaled deeply, and with a flip of his wrist, a thin wire appeared on his fingertips.

Inserting the wire into the keyhole of the big lock, and after a few dexterous flicks, the brand new big lock opened with a "click".

After removing the large hanging lock, Erin pulled hard and opened the door to the apartment.

"Hula ······"

The moment the heavy iron door was opened, a murky air faintly mixed with the smell of rancid smell rushed into the face.

Like those buildings that have been abandoned for a long time, this apartment building is filled with the smell of decay and dilapidation.

But according to the thugs.

This building, called "Ping An Apartment", was still home to a lot of residents half a month ago.

If it weren't for the strange incident that spread throughout Chinatown, the Chinese councillors in the neighborhood were distorted and ordered to completely empty the residents of this apartment building.

Maybe.

Now there are still a lot of people living in this safe apartment.

How could such an apartment complex become so dilapidated in just a few days?

Without waiting for Erin to think about it.

Suddenly.

"Knock".

A figure that exuded a strong rancid smell instantly fell from the top of Erin's head.

As soon as Po looked up, Arryn saw a pale and strange face, rushing towards him.

The strange long tongue that drooped almost to the chest secreted unknown black mucus, the cold and stiff face seemed to be crying instead of laughing, and the eyes that were bulging in both directions were full of despair for the world.

A brief look at each other, the despair so strong that it was suffocating to exclamation spread through the interlacing of eyes, permeating Arin's mind.
