The sound of rapid breathing echoed in the small space.
An unspeakable stench filled the air, but Oliver ignored it and gasped for breath. In his opinion, the stench in the trash bin made him far more comfortable than the horror outside.
After swallowing hard to moisten his throat, Oliver calmed his breathing, carefully climbed up from the wet garbage pile, gently pushed the lid open a gap, and peeked out.
Terrifying dark red clouds were surging, and everything on the ground was coated in this hellish color.
The drizzle of red rain fell, and Oliver knew that it was real rain of blood.
Through the gap, Oliver saw huge bat-like monsters flying over the town from time to time. Heads floating in mid-air were wandering on the streets, and six humanoid monsters crawling with arms and legs were hiding in the darkness to peek at the black shadows around them.
, a fist-sized beetle with a human face...
These guys wandering around the town have left almost no living people here.
But now, more often than not, they discover each other and then fight, like two groups of monsters from different camps.
"This place has become a monster's house!"
Oliver cursed silently and looked to the right of the street.
A towering silhouette like a lighthouse stands at the end of Sanren Street. At the top of the tower is a bloodshot eyeball that may be as big as a wooden house. It is closed tightly now, but when it opens, a shrill and terrifying sound will come from here.
Emitted from an eyeball. Whenever this happens, the monsters in the town will fall into riots and madly attack everything they see moving, including their own kind.
That's where he escaped from, with one...two companions.
And now——
"ah----"
A scream suddenly rang out from nowhere and cut through the bloody night sky. It lasted for a brief moment and then stopped abruptly.
Now I am acting alone again.
Oliver thought.
Gently lowering the lid of the box, Oliver sat down in the cold, slippery garbage.
In fear, Oliver could hardly feel the hunger and cold, and he was thinking about how to escape.
The Eyeball Lighthouse stands in front of the only exit from Shadow Town. Before Oliver even got close to the lighthouse, he and his fellow survivors met another survivor, and then they were suddenly spotted by a female ghost wearing a white dress with a hollowed-out face.
Chase.
The ending is like this, he hides in the trash can, and the two townspeople are in trouble.
What puzzles Oliver is that this is the third time this has happened to him.
Team up with a survivor, then meet other survivors, and then a female ghost with her face hollowed out appears, and then kills everyone...
If the survivor they met was being chased by a female ghost, why was it always the second survivor they met who was like this? Is it just a coincidence? Oliver couldn't understand.
Think of a way, Oliver, Jojo is still waiting for you at home...
Oliver kept pushing himself in his heart, and suddenly, he thought of a terrible possibility.
What if... the second survivor you encounter every time is the evil spirit itself...?
…
Two figures wrapped in thick fleshy wings walked on the gray ground. From a distance, they looked like two wriggling, weird and ugly monster eggs.
He looked forward through the torn opening in the flesh wing. A towering black tower with a sense of oppression stood at the only entrance to Shadow Town, and the huge eyeball on the lighthouse was wrapped in a flesh membrane.
Alan Thorne told Lu Li that the eyes on the lighthouse would open at a random moment, and there would be a commotion in Shadow Town. If you want to go in, you should avoid approaching it during the commotion.
At this time, the huge unopened eyes floated steadily above the lighthouse.
The surrounding light became darker and darker as they approached Shadow Town.
The gloomy and dim environment seemed to be returning to the storm, and the sky was filled with blood-like red light.
The closer he got, the stronger the sense of oppression brought by the towering black tower. The disturbing aura he sensed told Lu Li that something terrible was happening in the town.
Less than a hundred meters away from Shadow Town, you can already see the lighthouse blocking the road ahead and the three-person neighborhood behind it.
Lu Li stopped and turned back to Qiao Qiao: "Are you sure you want to go in? I may not be able to protect you if you are in danger."
"Well! Don't worry, I will take care of myself. If it comes time to drag you down...don't worry about me." It was she who begged Lu Li to help. If the person who helped her was allowed to take risks, she would hide in a safe place and wait for news.
, what is the difference between her and those scum.
"Um."
Turning back, the two of them approached the black lighthouse standing abruptly at the intersection of Sansan Street, walked around the edge of its rough base, and stepped into the boundary of Shadow Town.
Magma-like dark red surging deep in the clouds, a strange black shadow passed over the town, blood rained down, a small number of houses collapsed, body parts, meat and internal organs were strewn on the streets, but no intact corpses could be seen.
A dull roar echoed in the air——
The incomplete wooden sign "Shadow Town Welcomes You" stuck on the ground beside the street makes this scene full of irony.
Even though Qiaoqiao didn't have extraordinary perception and inspiration, she still felt the oppression and evil everywhere in the air, as if she had entered the legendary hell.
Lu Li led Qiao Qiao into a dark alley by the side of the road, and began to take off the flesh wings that were covering him. Qiao Qiao followed his example and took them off, rolling on the ground, leaving his clothes covered in mud and blood-colored water.
After doing this, Qiao Qiao got up and walked softly behind Lu Li, who was looking at the street at the entrance of the alley, and asked softly: "Where are we going to find my brother..."
Shadow Town is not a big place, but it is not easy to find someone, especially when there are visible and invisible weird things everywhere.
"The police station here."
Lu Li used his eyes to identify the areas of his inspiration that made him uncomfortable. Some of them remained motionless, while others were moving around.
"Will he be there?"
Hope surged in Qiaoqiao's heart, but was extinguished by Lu Li in an instant: "Impossible. Let's go there to look for the investigation documents from the police station. There may be police Oliver's investigation written on them."
Qiaoqiao looked out of the alley. The dark red streets and the strong smell of blood in the air made her very uncomfortable: "But we don't know where the police station is."
"I know."
For safety reasons when he came last time, Lu Li wrote down the location of the Shadow Town Police Station, which was less than two hundred meters away, but——
Creeping six-legged monsters with indistinguishable shapes and more weird things were wandering on the streets. They were not densely packed, and occasionally they would fight each other due to opposition, but that did not mean that the streets could be passed by Lu Li and Qiao Qiao.
Looking up at the sky, patrolling night demons were hovering high in the sky, and strange black spheres of different sizes were wandering in mid-air at the height of the roof.
