Naturally, it was the Pujiang Community where they settled when they first passed through the [Border] Gate, but it has now become a place full of ghosts, and there are also powerful and bizarre second-level telekinesis-type monsters.
No matter who you are, I am afraid that once you have been there once, you will never want to go there again.
Now Hela will come to Higashinohara for discussion. She just wants to ask if they can join forces to force Gray Mine and the three people from the Judgment Department. The number of surviving human ability users in the investigation team is twice that of the opponent.
The food ration is only half of the other party's.
If it were in the outside world, getting half of the supplies from a place like the Adjudication Department, which eats people but doesn't spit out bones, is not a small amount. Naturally, no one would say anything.
But now they are in this desolate and silent city of hell. It is not certain whether they can see the sun outside. They are all grasshoppers on a rope.
Who is more noble than whom?
Therefore, when Hela came over, Nimura Shinichi and others also looked at Higashinohara, and there seemed to be some similar meaning in their eyes.
But no one thought that Higashinohara would make the choice to return to Pujiang Community again when faced with this question!
Wouldn't that be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?
"Is this too dangerous?" Hela asked subconsciously.
Indeed, compared to the terrifying and bizarre second-level telekinetic demon, Shinichi Nimura, who tilted his ears not far away, was still more inclined to overpower the "paper tiger" Gray Mine behind him.
The only thing they need to worry about is that if they push the opponent too hard, when the [Border] door reopens in two days and they return to the original world, the Adjudication Department may become a nightmare that they cannot face.
"Is it too dangerous?"
Higashinohara pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then said with a smile, "We can't really be hungry for two days, right? Why don't I go and take a look first, and you can stay here first."
Hela looked at Higashinohara in surprise.
It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
The boy next to her was indeed a newborn calf. Even in this hell that was dim and dark all day long, his skin looked so tender that it made people jealous.
But that place is not a tiger.
But a woman who is more terrifying than a tiger.
But at this time, Hela's mind reflected on Higashinohara's "all kinds of care" for her when she was in danger these days. For example, every time when a strange demon attacked, he stood by her side like a flower protector.
, if it weren't for the age gap between the two, she would have almost thought that this young man was pursuing her in this way like those people on the sea.
Eh? Wait!
Hela is twenty-four years old this year. The boy in front of her looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old. In addition to her tender skin, which seems to be able to squeeze out water, her appearance looks like the "salty or sweet" appearance that is very popular among urban girls.
type.
Is there a big difference between six and seven years old?
"I'll go with you." Hela said for no reason.
Higashinohara looked at her in surprise.
in darkness,
A smile appeared on Hela's face.
"Anyway, if you wait here and you don't come back, you will starve. The adults in the Adjudication Division won't care about our life or death. Why don't we go together? The chance of success will be higher."
"I'll go too." Nanami Kenjiro suddenly said.
It has to be said that since he entered this world, this man with a pair of lifeless fish eyes under his sunglasses has helped Higashinohara several times.
For example, when he was fighting Zhang Tuzi, he fired a shot from outside that day, and when he broke out, he fired several shots to help him clear away the strange monsters behind him that he didn't care about.
Higashinohara knew the identity of Nanami Kenjiro. The other party had said that he owed him two lives on the night of the bloody night at the Sky Tree last month. However, Higashinohara was wearing a fox mask at that time and naturally the other party did not recognize him.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it can only be attributed to the friendship during this battle.
After all, both of them were the first people in the investigation team to contradict the captain Gray Mine, and they were both excluded and sent to explore the old residential building the next day. Although Higashinohara was tender-faced, he was decisive in killing, so naturally he was very
Appetite for a man like Nanami Kenjiro who works as a "scavenger" all year round.
"Then let's go together."
Higashinohara smiled and nodded when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Camilla and Shinichi Shinmura again.
There is no need to look at that old man Ji Yuanwen. He is determined not to let go of Qingshan and is ready to hug the Adjudication Division until death.
"I'll go too."
Camilla suddenly nodded and said, then glanced away.
For this foreign man from the central and eastern region, Higashinohara began to have a strange impression.
The other party is not like Ji Yuanwen's unscrupulous Adjudication Department licking dog, but he feels that he keeps a distance from them at all times, as if he is wary of something.
At this moment, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to go together, which was somewhat beyond Higashinohara's expectations.
But then again, the reason why he proposed to return to Pujiang Community tonight was naturally not to seek excitement and adventure. It was purely due to what he said to Ling Wei before leaving.
Jianghai No. 1 Hospital is far away from Pujiang Community. If Ling Wei does not give up this glimmer of hope and rushes to find her husband, it will take at least half a day.
In addition, Ma Baoli's diary was written down who knows how many years ago. After such a long time, Ling Wei may not be able to find her husband immediately when she gets there.
But according to Ma Baoli's brief description of Ling Wei in her diary, Higashinohara felt that the other party's character would not give up easily, which meant that the strange demons in Pujiang Community may now be in a leaderless state.
After several rounds of inspections in Pujiang Community, they also had a rough understanding of the strength of the strange demons there. Except for Ling Wei, who was similar to the "territory commander", other strange demons even at the second level of green
Nor is it their opponent.
What is Pujiang Community without Ling Wei?
For others, Higashinohara didn't know, but for him, it was the Source Point [Collection Place]. This was the reason why he really decided to take the risk tonight.
There were only two days until the [Border] door opened again. Higashinohara finally took the risk and sneaked into the investigation team to investigate once. It would not be so easy to sneak in next time.
Although he may encounter danger at any time in the city of hell, since the two terrifying judges of the Shangjing Judgment Division arrived in New Tokyo, Higashinohara realized that the outside world was more dangerous for him than the inside.
.
Therefore, he must seize this rare opportunity to increase his proficiency in the eighth-level sword type [Mugo Itachi Style] first, and not give up any opportunity to improve his strength.
Higashinohara was thinking in his mind.
Shinichi Nimura, the only one who had not yet made up his mind, was also thinking tangledly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to go with Higashinohara and the others to explore Pujiang Community again at night.
Not far away, Ji Yuanwen stared at them twice, but still did not come up to them.
He must also know that he is considered a "rape" now, and no one will pay attention to him, so he is just asking for trouble. If he has the time, he might as well lick the captain of the Judgment Division for comfort.
The dim moonlight passed through the atmospheric dust and became increasingly dim when it fell on this abandoned and desolate city. However, as the only light source at night, Higashinohara and others who did not turn on the lights were using this dim moonlight to quietly face the city.
I groped in the direction of Pujiang Community.
The gate of Pujiang Community was smashed again, but this time no one repaired it. It was lying in a dark corner against the wall not far away. The ground in front of the residential building that had experienced two fierce battles was also in a mess.
Stepping on the gravel and dust in front of the residential building, Higashinohara and others could not help but slow down their steps, but everything around them was very quiet.
I imagined the terrible situation of encountering an enemy attack and ambush as soon as I arrived, and the not-so-bad situation of being discovered by a strange demon after walking a few steps.
None so far.
"It's not too bad."
Hela, who was following Higashinohara, glanced at the young man's back when he went upstairs and couldn't help but think of this.
But it turns out that
Don't be too optimistic about anything.
With this thought in Hela's mind, a group of five people quietly walked into the room where supplies were stored and carefully pushed the door open and turned on the light. Everyone was dumbfounded by the empty room.
Where are the supplies?
They were a little stunned.
At this time, in the extremely silent night, there was a sound of "shasha" footsteps like gravel rubbing against the floor from the balcony corridor upstairs. It seemed that something was dragging its body towards the corridor entrance step by step.
Move over.
Everyone's hearts suddenly became tense.
Has it been discovered?
Higashinohara frowned, looked at each other, and shook his head calmly.
Let’s observe it first and then talk about it.
Soon, they found that the "Sasha" footsteps above their heads had stopped.
What's going on?
Dong dong dong—!
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door upstairs, and Higashinohara could vaguely hear the sharp and strange laughter of "ho ho ho" in his ears.
On the third floor at this time,
In front of the house next to the corridor.
A figure with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose is slowly leaning forward with his thin and wretched body, his ears pressed against the door. His arms stretch and become thinner like the tentacles of an octopus monster, and countless slender tentacles are continuously coming out of the door.
It seeped in through the cracks in the door.
"Dongyang, open the door. Uncle, I will help you with your lessons."
In the room next to the door, there is a black sanitation trash can behind the door.
A girl with a ponytail tied behind her head squatted at the bottom of the trash can with her arms wrapped around her knees, her head buried deep in her arms, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.
