Chapter 423: Contradiction Spiral Night Tour at Ogawa Apartment
By the time Shiki and Yanjoba arrived at Ogawa Apartment, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. In an area with many apartment buildings, Ogawa Apartment was also a unique building and it was impossible to be mistaken.
After all, among almost all apartment buildings, which are square and regular like tofu, only Ogawa Apartment is a cylindrical building. From a distance, it looks like a tower that can be climbed to the moon.
"Here we are, right here."
Yan Tiaoba looked at the buildings outside the car window with complicated eyes.
It is said that when this luxurious apartment building was built, it received many applications, but the owner rejected most of them because they were afraid of life. The family also moved into this building because of their father's friends.
At the time, he thought it was a lucky thing, but looking back now, this apartment building left him with a past that he couldn't look back on.
Shi looked up at the building with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. After a long time, he looked back and lowered his eyes.
"It seems that we did not come to the wrong place."
"How could I have come to the wrong place? This is the place where I have lived for a long time."
Shi didn't speak, just stared at Yan Tiaoba's face silently, until Yan Tiaoba couldn't stand the sight anymore and took a step back.
He didn't know why, but every time he looked at Shi Shi, he couldn't help but deflect his gaze. There seemed to be something terrifying in Shi Shi's clear, dark eyes, which made him dare not look directly.
"Here, take this."
Shi stopped staring, casually pulled out a short knife from his waist and threw it to Yan Tiaoba.
"Oh~~"
Yan Tiaoba hurriedly took the short knife and felt the heavy cold steel in his hand. He waved it subconsciously a few times and said half-jokingly,
"I still feel like a baseball bat suits me better."
"There's nothing else, so let's make do with it."
"Wait a moment……"
Yan Tiaoba suddenly realized something,
"Are we going to fight someone in the apartment?"
"That depends on the attitude of the owner of the apartment."
Hearing Shi's words, Yan Tiaoba couldn't help but take a breath. Why did he feel that their return this time was like a delusion of ruining the place? However, he had also seen how powerful Shi was, so he didn't say much.
"By the way, where is the man named Mikael? If he is here, the three of us can kill anything we encounter."
"Mikael..."
Shi stopped and subconsciously looked to the west, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"He's temporarily busy today and doesn't have time to come over and help."
………
………
There is only one path from the door to the apartment, just like the Taj Mahal in India, and this path leads directly to the lobby of the apartment.
There are vibrant green plants on both sides of the passage, but due to the sudden drop in temperature in recent days, most of the green has turned into withered yellow, and only a few are still struggling to hold on.
Following the passage to the lobby of the apartment, you are greeted by uniform cream-colored walls and a clean marble floor that can almost be used as a mirror.
It's just that the cream color that should be warm seems a little disgusting in Shiki's eyes. It's not the effect of the color on her, but the building itself.
Although it sounds ridiculous, she feels that the building is alive and she is now walking through its body.
She shook her head to expel these thoughts from her brain, then refocused and began to observe her surroundings.
Ogawa Apartment is composed of two buildings, east and west, and this lobby is the only space connecting the two buildings. It is shaped like a circle cut in half.
The only place that connects the two buildings is the middle zone. You cannot go between the east and west buildings above the second floor. You have to go back to the central zone and go through the lobby.

Standing in the hall is a huge circular pillar, which looks like a ridge beam supporting the entire building. Surrounding the pillar is a spiral staircase that is rarely used.
The elevator is just inside the pillar, leading from the first to the tenth floor. Compared to the convenient and fast elevator, no one will use the tiring-looking steps.
Yan Tiaoba pressed the button, waited for the elevator to arrive, and gave Shi a brief introduction.
"My family lives on the fourth floor of the east building. As for the west building, it is probably not open to the public. At least I have not seen the residents of the west building."
"To be honest, I hate this building. It's like a haunted house, full of ominous atmosphere that cannot be hidden at all."
………
As the elevator gradually arrived, his mouth became dry, his heartbeat was obviously faster than usual, and his breathing became much faster.
This kind of thing is normal. After all, in that "home" are his parents who were killed by him. He kept hinting in his heart that he was wrong. How could the dead be resurrected? But he also hoped that this was just It's a nightmare of mine, just wake up and you'll be fine.
The elevator door opened quietly, Shi stepped into the elevator first, and Yan Tiaoba followed behind after hesitating for a moment.
"All you need to do is press the [four] button, right?"
Shiki pointed at the button and asked,
"Um."
Yan Tiaoba nodded and swallowed meaningfully.
Accompanied by the subtle sound of mechanical movement, the elevator door quietly closed with a soft "pop" sound, followed immediately by the unnatural sound of the motor, and the elevator was obviously rising, but it made people feel... It's the illusion of sinking into the ground.
Shi raised his head and stared at the elevator, his eyes seeming to penetrate the metal plate above his head and see the deeper existence.
"Twisted—"
After staring for a while, she said such a meaningless statement.
[Distorted? What is distorted, or what is distorted? 】
Yan Tiaoba thought to himself, but still did not express his doubts. Ever since he entered the apartment building, Shi had shown a completely different temperament than usual. It was a sharp-edged feeling.
He subconsciously stroked the dagger in his pocket. The current style was like this dagger.
Not long after waiting, the elevator door opened, and the lobby on the fourth floor was also circular. After exiting the elevator, the passage leading to the east building was in front of me.
Walk straight forward along the passage, then turn 90 degrees to the left. On the left is the resident's room, and on the right is the open terrace. In order to prevent someone from falling inadvertently, the edge of the terrace is installed with enough to A guardrail as high as a person's chest.
"This room is Room 401. At the end of the corridor, you will find Room 405, where my family lives."
Yan Tiaoba said as if nothing had happened, and finally led Shi to the door of his home. Looking at the familiar security door, he suddenly felt great panic in his heart, and his hand grabbing the door handle stopped in mid-air.
