The Other Side Was Quite Friendly~

Inside the huge hall, people dressed primarily in gray and black were pushing carts that moved about continuously.

This scene should have been a bustling and lively supermarket shopping scene, but surprisingly, no one made a sound among the crowd in the hall; the only sound was the creaking of the shopping carts rolling across the floor.

Everything before my eyes seemed like a Black&White silent film from around the 1950s, a series of comical and silent Black&White dramas unfolding.

No one knows who built this huge Plaza, no one knows who manages it, and no one knows when or by whom these fresh ingredients were brought here... Everything is a mystery.

Having been here twice before, she was quite familiar with Zither-Drum Harmony, and given her good mental fortitude, she didn't make any major mistakes.

Although the rules in those halls that were summarized earlier seem complicated, they can actually be simplified to just one rule.

The first rule for survival in this strange hall is to try to be as inconspicuous as possible, and since you've been here the longest, you're also in the inconspicuous category.

Despite the Zither-Drum Harmony's best efforts to speed things up, she was still the last Floor Administrator to leave the hall because of the note written by someone. The strange hall, which had originally been filled with thousands of people, now only had a few scattered individuals left.

While Curse the other person in her heart, she pushed the cart quickly towards the elevator she had come from.

This was a night no different from the previous two.

--Originally.

Just as Zither-Drum Harmony pushed the cart into the elevator, a muffled gunshot rang out from the lobby behind her.

Turning her head with a hint of disbelief, Zither-Drum Harmony saw a large amount of blood being sprayed from a searchlight in the sky not far from her, and an eyeball made of long tentacles falling from the sky.

Only then did she realize that the discussion lights covering the various food areas weren't light sources illuminating the hall at all, but rather the wide-open eyes of some Strange Creature...

The thought of walking under the watchful eyes of these people Zither-Drum Harmony a chill down my spine.

Before she could even take a good look, the elevator doors closed, and the elevator began to move automatically and quickly according to its original pattern.

Although I didn't get to see the end, the Zither-Drum Harmony have already confirmed one thing in my heart.

... That guy who dared to fire is definitely dead.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the Lights came on precisely on time.

After exchanging their identification information, the group, mostly looking listless, sat down around the table in the center of the Circular Hall.

Today is their fourth day in this Apartment.

"Because of the attack that occurred during the day, I went to the Supermarket to investigate after 9 p. m. last night."

Heavenless Heretic was the first to speak, his expression serious.

"Just as Black&White said, after nine o'clock at night, all Figurine mannequins and Doll there came to life. To protect my Life, I engaged in a fierce battle with them... In the end, I won!! And the books."

So you still went over tonight?

After glancing at the other person, PrayerUnderDreams rolled her eyes, slightly speechless.

"So, have you found any valuable clues?"

"Uh... what do you mean by not finding any clues? But I think I left something there..."

With his arms crossed, Heavenless Heretic looked thoughtful.

"It feels like it's something very important, but I can't remember anything. My Inventory is a complete mess... What could I have lost...?"

"Okay, I'm sure of it now, this guy left his integrity behind."

Turning her head directly, PrayerUnderDreams began to speak.

"Compared to this, I've discovered many valuable clues. Based on my deduction, this Apartment has a certain suppressive effect on Anomaly; the night and darkness are the time for those Anomaly to revel."

Did that person contact you again last night?

Not surprised, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"That guy, what's his name... the one who fakes Dual Cultivation by never smiling?"

"That's right, but the name is 'A Pure Smile, Shy Blushing Cheeks.'"

PrayerUnderDreams snapped her fingers.

"Because I followed your advice during the day, and after thinking about it, I felt what you said made a lot of sense. So when she contacted me again that night, I didn't hesitate to give her a good scolding, successfully seizing the initiative in the conversation!!!"

"..."

In unison, the other three people's eyes all focused on Bai Zhi.

Why are you all looking at me?

Bai Zhi propped his head up on the table with one hand and rolled his eyes.

"He's the one who carried out the idea, and the guy who got yelled at is someone else. What does it have to do with me, the one who came up with the idea?"

"... And then what? What happened next?"

Her eyes twitched slightly, and she turned to look at PrayerUnderDreams. She asked him Zither-Drum Harmony, somewhat speechless.

"Logically speaking, if you had just scolded her without even knowing what happened, wouldn't a normal person have a very difficult time communicating with you calmly?"

"No, she gave me a lot of very important information after that."

PrayerUnderDreams with excitement.

"She not only told us the exact date of our death, but also kindly warned us that we had unknowingly fallen into a Death Trap. She also gave me quite detailed information about the patterns of those Anomaly. She's an absolutely wonderful person!!"

"???"

"During the day, the Anomaly hide in the darkness, and because of the Apartment's rules, they won't attack the Resident Apartment. But at night, especially after the lights are turned off, these Anomaly will attack any creatures that appear in the darkness, except for one exception... but she didn't tell me what that exception was."

At this point, PrayerUnderDreams regretful.

"We'll all die on the Seven Days, that's what she said."

"Wait a minute, I have a question for you... What were her exact words?"

Raising his hand, the Night Owl asked the question with a strange look on his face.

"[Just you wait, you damned bastard, you'll face your desperate end on the Seven Days day!! Your whole family is Dog Poop!! Just wait to die!!!]"

Meng Qi spread her hands, looking completely innocent.

That's about it.

Everyone: "..."
