Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 178 City of Hell, what? (8.516K double changes ask for a monthly ticket)

  One question after another surrounded him like a thick fog, Higashinohara frowned unconsciously, and fell into deep thought.

  Hela, who was following behind him, walked around and looked around at this "City of Hell" full of withered and corrupt atmosphere. He only felt that the architectural style of "City of Hell" was no different from the world they lived in.

   Are there really strange monsters here?

  Why haven't I seen anything so far?

   But thinking of some unknown tasks, her heart became serious again, and she cheered up again.

   As soon as he looked up, he noticed the figure of the boy walking in front stretched by the twilight.

  At this moment, what made Hela curious was not what Higashinohara was thinking about under his frown.

It's that this gentle-eyed young man has been thinking all the way from the beginning to the end, but the pace of his feet has never stopped for half a step from the beginning to the end. Even when he encounters a crossroads, he does not hesitate at all, and naturally chooses one. Direction to move forward.

  This is compared to other teammates in the voice of the earphone team who are walking like them in a dead city where the light is gradually dimming, and report the situation and location from time to time.

  Higashi Nohara’s performance doesn’t look like they are going on a thrilling and tense exploration in a place called “Hell”, but rather like they are going out for a stroll after dinner.

   Observing this, Hela immediately remembered it.

  She judged very sharply:

  This young man should have awakened abilities such as [Scythe Weasel], the ability to survey the surrounding terrain through environmental factors, so he can be so leisurely.

   It seems that this investigation really followed the right person.

  Hela felt a little joy in her heart, coming to this strange and strange world, having a teammate who can detect the surrounding environment is really a rare help.

   She was really thinking about this in her heart. At this moment, Higashinohara, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped in her tracks - Hela who was following behind would have bumped into Higashinohara's back if she hadn't reacted quickly.

"What's wrong?"

  Hella asked subconsciously.

   Immediately, she seemed to realize something, looked around vigilantly, and asked again in a low voice, "Did Nishinomiya-kun find anything?"

   Higashinohara nodded, and said, "Well, it's getting late."

  Hela couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and when she raised her head, she realized that the light around her head was gradually dimming, and the orange-red twilight gradually deepened, coating this "City of Hell" with a fascinating luster.

  Below the more distant sky as far as she could see, there was a thick touch of dark blue, and the darkness seemed to have begun to move and stretch its waist, preparing for a grand debut.

  No matter which world, human beings seem to be afraid of the dark, because there may be unknown dangers lurking in the dark.

  At this time, Higashinohara and Hela heard a "sizzling" electric sound, and the indifferent voice of the investigation team captain Gray Mane sounded on the team channel.

   "Attention all teams, half an hour is up, return to meet immediately after receiving the notice."

   "A group received."

   "The second group received."

  “.”

   Higashinohara and Hela's temporary teams were organized into the seventh group. After he followed the crowd and said "received by the seventh group", he turned his head and glanced at Hela with a smile.

  Hela also realized what Higashinohara meant by "It's getting late" just now, and she couldn't help laughing dryly, thinking that this guy didn't speak completely, which made her nervous in vain.

   Next, the two who received the message returned by the same route.

   On the way back, Hila, who followed Higashinohara, was sure once again that Higashinohara probably had awakened the ability to detect terrain, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he walked the road once, and this boy could write it all down.

  Of course, she will never admit that she is a "road idiot"

  After returning to the agreed gathering point by the same route, all the other six groups also returned.

  Even the elite team from the Judgment Division’s executive team set foot in this world for the first time. After just half an hour of surveying, everyone’s faces were full of deep puzzlement.

   They couldn't understand the characters of the world of Higashinohara's previous life at all. Even if they saw the bulletin boards and newspapers on the street during the survey, no one knew what happened in this city of hell.

  After inspecting the survey recorders carried by everyone, Gray Mane couldn't help but frown, his face looking a bit gloomy.

  He is carrying a mission. In seven days, he must find the location of the "key" and the next "boundary" gate that can accommodate higher-level ability users.

   But at this moment, night has quietly fallen, and the dim light cast by the dust-covered moon above has become the only light source in this city of hell.

  In the withered and corrupt air, the night wind whimpered slightly, and the gap between the tall buildings in the distance was like a black hole, like an invisible abyss, which could swallow people whole at any time without spitting out their bones.

  Grey Mane is the captain of the investigation team. Although he wants to complete the mission, he also wants to spend seven days here safely, and wait until the [boundary] door behind him opens again.

At this time, seeing everyone gathered and waiting for instructions, Gray Mane thought for a while, and said, "Just now I asked you to detect the situation within two kilometers around you from different directions, from your detection recorder Seeing that there is no abnormality found for the time being."

   "This at least shows that the place we are currently in is temporarily safe."

  Hearing Gray Mane's words, the surrounding people who had been tense and anxious since they came to this "city of hell" couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

  No one wants to encounter some scalp-tingling, weird and frightening things just after arriving here. After making sure the surroundings are safe, at least let everyone spend the night to have a buffer and accept time to explore slowly.

At this time, the captain of the investigation team, Gray Mane, suddenly pointed in a certain direction and said again, "I took people to investigate there just now, and it is an empty house that can still be lived in. We will stay in that building for the next few days." Stay in the house and wait until seven days later to complete the task."

Higashinohara looked in the direction Gray Mane was pointing at. It was an extremely dilapidated old-fashioned residential building about 200 meters away from them. In the steel jungle full of high-rise buildings.

   Everyone naturally has no opinion on this.

   Even if the tall buildings in the distance may look better, it is more in line with their aesthetics.

  But everything in this "City of Hell" has come to a standstill, and the elevators in the high-rise buildings have probably fallen into the elevator shafts, and they may collapse at any time.

   In contrast, the aesthetics can be a little behind.

   Soon, Higashinohara followed a group of people and approached the residential building.

  Downstairs, in front of the gate guard’s iron gate, there was a house plate with peeling red paint. On it was the words “Pujiang Community” that only he knew.

Higashinohara glanced at it for a while, then looked away, and landed on the resident bulletin board on the other wall. Among the vaguely recognizable announcements were only two neighborhood committees: "Congratulations to XXX and Ms. Ma Baoli on their new marriage" and congratulations to "Student Wang Dongyang's exam Go to XXX University" community common announcement.

   A group of people walked into the dark corridor. With the help of the dim moonlight, Higashinohara realized that the five-story residential building was really dilapidated.

  The handrails in the corridor are stained with rust, and the narrow and dark stairs are dilapidated.

  There are crumbling broken stones everywhere, the air exudes a disgusting smell, and there will even be a very large sunken hole in the corridor. It is no small miracle that this building has not collapsed until now.

  At this moment, the investigation team is divided into groups to conduct a second inspection of the building.

  As soon as Higashinohara climbed up to the third floor, he found a low and vague black figure squatting at the corner of the corridor.

Who! ?

  He was slightly startled, and subconsciously aimed at the tactical lighting, only to realize that it was a common black trash can on the roadside, and someone moved it and put it on the aisle.

  Hoo. A false alarm.

   I'm a little nervous, I can't scare myself.

  Next, after another round of repeated inspections that lasted for about half an hour, a dozen people from the investigation team ran all over the upper and lower floors, and regrouped to collect the situation.

  At this moment, they finally determined that this was an abandoned residential building, empty, and there was nothing worth noting about it, and it was very suitable as their foothold for the next few days.

   All of a sudden, the tension and uneasiness in everyone's hearts when they first stepped into this building disappeared, and smiles and joy gradually appeared on their faces.

   Just like humans can’t adapt to the dark, things like houses can always give humans an inexplicable sense of security. Sleeping in a house is completely different from being in the wilderness.

   For the rest of the time, everyone gathered together and had a simple dinner according to the good rations allocated.

   While eating the compressed biscuits, Higashinohara noticed that the rations of the Celestial Team at the Judgment Department were obviously more and richer than theirs.

  Others have also noticed this, but everyone seems to be used to it, and no one has any objections. If the gods eat the same food as them, I am afraid they will not adapt

   Higashinohara thought about some of these things.

  Currently, the environment they were in did not allow them to wash their hands. After dinner, everyone entered the room assigned by the investigation team leader Gray Mane to prepare for rest.

  Leave a group of two people outside and work in the middle of the night.

  Higashi Nohara is not on duty tonight.

  He walked into the room he had been assigned to. This small room with two bedrooms and one living room was suitable for a family of three. The furniture in the room was already dilapidated and decayed, and the original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

  After entering the door, Dongye originally opened the window for ventilation, and immediately took out the marching blanket from his backpack and made a bed on the floor.

   Next, he was not in a hurry to sleep, and he probably couldn't fall asleep.

Everything that happened today is really bizarre and unimaginable—from the anxiety he felt when he stepped into the gate of the Tribunal for the first time in the morning, he did not expect to come to the so-called "hell" through the [boundary] gate in the afternoon, and then found that I actually returned to the world where I was in my previous life.

  At this time, Higashinohara was doing the daily exercises in the "civilian training method" as before, while thinking about and sorting out these things in his mind, trying to find clues that he had overlooked today.

  But until he finished the last set of push-ups and finished his daily exercise, he didn't sort out anything he had neglected, so he lay down on the floor.

   Gradually, the feeling of physical soreness and exhaustion and the feeling of exhaustion after mental tension hit, and after a while, Higashinohara fell into sleep.

   Night. Gradually deepened.

   After an unknown amount of time, Higashinohara vaguely heard a familiar "dong dong dong" sound from the ceiling above his head.

   At the beginning, he was a little drowsy and didn't pay much attention. He just thought it was the floor noise. Anyone who lived in an apartment knew that this was inevitable, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

   can fall asleep fall asleep

  In the darkness, Higashinohara suddenly opened his eyes without warning!

  Outside the window in the middle of the night, a dim ray of moonlight pierced through the floating dust in the air, and the ground above his head shook with mottled shadows.

   Higashinohara, who was lying on the floor, suddenly realized that he was not in the rented room of Xinyuan Apartment at this time, but in the empty, dilapidated residential building he just settled in today.

  He clearly remembered that before going to bed, for the convenience of management and communication, the captain of the investigation team, Gray Mane, lined up two groups of 14 people, and arranged them all in a room on the second floor of this abandoned residential building.

  How can there be floor noise on the third floor of the ceiling?

   Higashinohara's heart suddenly tightened slightly.

  Boom boom boom—! !

  Suddenly, the voice from the ceiling suddenly became louder!

  In this silent night, every sound seemed to fall on his heart.

   It feels like it is.

  Something upstairs is lying under the bed, frantically trying to smash its face through the floor!

   Ask for a ticket at the beginning of the month~
