Congratulations on Your Arrest Chapter 179

  Chapter 179 The second level green strange monster! (first update)

  As we all know, floor noise is always an unavoidable problem in modern society.

  However, when there is no one living in your upstairs and downstairs, and in the dead of night, you will suddenly hear a "dong dong dong" floor noise.

   Then the problem is even bigger

  At this moment, Higashinohara lost all sleepiness.

At this time, under the dim moonlight outside the window, the dilapidated and decayed furniture around him only left vague black outlines in his eyes, like some indescribable things hiding in the darkness, the frequency of the increasingly sharp "boom" on the ceiling above his head "Dong Dong" sound of the collision seems to be awakened at any time.

   Higashinohara shook his head, knowing that these were all his illusions.

  He took a deep breath and turned on the switch of the tactical lighting without thinking. The sudden white light was a bit dazzling in the darkness, but it also dispelled the surrounding darkness.

  The moment he turned on the light, the movement on the ceiling above his head suddenly became smaller and lighter but did not disappear, as if a strange visitor wandering outside the door did not know if someone was knocking tentatively from time to time.

  Although Higashinohara has a big heart, the more dangerous he is, the calmer he is.

   But dangerous and scary are two different things.

   No matter how big his heart is, it is impossible to continue to sleep with his head covered in a quilt under such circumstances.

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara picked up the light at hand without thinking, got up and walked outside the house.

   That's right, Higashinohara intends to go up to see what's going on.

  Perhaps for the rest of the investigation team, this dead steel forest is an indescribable "hell city". Since coming to this world, everyone has been shrouded in a layer of fear that no one wants to speak out.

   But not so for Higashinohara.

  He knows this place better than anyone in the investigation team, and he clearly knows that this is not a "hell" city, but a very prosperous river and sea city in the country where he lived in his previous life.

   It's just that for some unknown reason, this city, this world... has become like this, but the more so, the more urgent he wants to know what happened here than anyone else.

   Now the opportunity seems to be at hand.

   Higashinohara didn't know if this was his unique opportunity in this life, but he knew that if he seized this opportunity well, he might be able to see the truth behind this "city of hell".

  Even if it is only the tip of the iceberg of truth.

   Squeak—!

  Higashi Nohara pushed open the door, and the moon was in the middle of the sky outside. The dim moonlight covered his body with a layer of dark silver brilliance, and there was no sound in the dark corridor outside the door.

quiet!

   Extremely quiet!

People who are used to the noisy city full of noise all day and all night, it is difficult to adapt to this kind of quietness, as if they are in the extremely dark deep sea thousands of meters below, and the emotion called fear will be uncontrollable in the bottom of their hearts .

  But at this moment, Higashinohara was standing in the quiet corridor like that, staring at the empty corridor.

   Behind his ears, he could still faintly hear the sound of "dong dong dong" hitting the ceiling from time to time in his room, but his brows could not help but frowned slightly.

  This is a little different from what he thought.

  This old-fashioned residential building obviously cannot have a good sound insulation effect, so the sound from the ceiling above his room was so loud just now, if it was as he imagined, it would probably smash his face bones.

  There are more than a dozen people living in a row on the second floor of such a big movement. It doesn't make sense that he is the only one who can hear the sound—unless the other party can confine the sound waves to a certain area like water waves.

   Higashinohara thought about these in his heart.

  Suddenly, he heard the sound of "Zhi Ya" opening the door.

  In the dark, bottomless tunnel-like second-floor corridor ahead, the door of a room was suddenly pushed open by someone.

   Higashinohara subconsciously raised the light in his hand to hit it, but from his angle, he could only see five slender white fingers on the side of the door slowly pushing the door open.

"who is it?"

  Facing this scene full of weird and horrifying atmosphere, Higashinohara's heart tightened slightly, and he couldn't help asking.

  He vaguely remembered that the room was occupied tonight.

  The next moment, a figure of a man appeared behind the door, wearing earphones like him, with a sleeve hanging empty by his side, opened the door and closed it casually.

   It turned out to be him.

   Higashinohara breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Although he took the initiative to speak just now, he encountered this scene unexpectedly in the middle of the night, which still made people feel a little panicked.

   Fortunately, he also knows the man in front of him. He is the capable sniper who cooperated with him in beheading Gaius Rhine, the seventh adjudicator, under the sky tree at the end of last month, but this time he joined the investigation team of the adjudication department for some reason.

   It is said that it is called "Qi Haijian", and it sounds like I don't know whether my real name or a pseudonym, but no one cares about these.

   "It turned out to be Qihaisang, is it your turn to change shift now?" Higashinohara greeted with a smile, he remembered that tonight Qihaijian and a celestial being from the black-robed executive team were in charge of duty in the upper and lower hours of the night.

  At night, the other party didn't continue to wear the pair of sunglasses, and Higashinohara realized that the man's eyes were lifeless, like dead fish eyes, and seemed to shimmer strangely when the light was on.

  Even knowing that the other party is one of our own, I feel a little weird in my heart.

   Nanami Kenjiro glanced at Higashinohara who appeared in the corridor in the middle of the night. Higashinohara was observing him just now, and he was also observing Higashinohara who was keenly aware of his footsteps.

  Hearing what Higashinohara said at this time, Nanami Kenjiro was silent for a moment, and replied lightly, "There is no shift change, I am on duty tonight."

   Higashinohara was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and wanted to ask where your celestial "partner" had gone, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that this question was a bit unnecessary, so he could only say with a little sympathy:

   "Those guys are a bit too much, they don't even do the tasks assigned by their boss, Qi Haisang has worked hard."

   "I don't care."

   Nanami Kenjiro still didn't have much expression in his lifeless dead fish eyes, instead he frowned slightly, looked at Higashinohara and asked, "What are you doing out at night?"

   Not to mention that each room in their row has its own bathroom, and Higashinohara's full alertness doesn't really look like he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

   "Nanami-san, did you hear a strange sound just now?"

   "Strange sound? What sound?"

   Higashinohara saw that Nanami Kenjiro's expression was not fake, so after thinking about it, he decided to confess. There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. One more person means more strength.

  He directly raised his finger and pointed to the top of his head, "When I was sleeping just now, something seemed to be hitting the floor upstairs, I want to go up and have a look."

  Something upstairs hitting the floor?

  Kenjiro Nanami couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words, and finally there was some fluctuation in the eyes of those lifeless dead fish.

  At this time, he also seemed to realize that except for the second floor where they stayed, the other floors of this residential building were all empty, without any trace of people.

  Then why is there a sound in the middle of the night?

  He stared at Higashinohara carefully for a few times, as if he was sure that Higashinohara wasn't joking, so he couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "You must go up?"

   Higashinohara knew that according to the rules of the investigation team leader Gray Mane, after crossing the border gate and arriving at "Hell", any situation should be reported immediately.

  But Higashinohara took the risk to join the investigation team of the Judgment Division, not to "obey the rules".

   And he knew very well that the man with lifeless fish eyes he met in front of him could not be a stickler.

   "That's right." He nodded bluntly.

   Not surprisingly, Nanami Kenjiro did not mean to stop or report, but just nodded and said, "Be careful, I will wait for you at the entrance of the corridor."

   Higashinohara looked at the other party with a little surprise when he heard it. Nanami Kenjiro's words were not only to let Higashinohara go out, but also seemed to help him watch out.

  Why did the other party help him so much?

   Higashinohara doesn't think that he is a life full of charm points. A look can make people feel convincing. Could it be that he is also curious about these things?

  But no matter what the other party's purpose is, as long as the two people's purpose does not conflict, the way of life between people is to seek common ground while reserving differences, and there is no need to make everything clear.

"thanks."

   Higashinohara nodded.

  At this moment, when he was walking this way along the corridor on the second floor, the faint knocking sound from the ceiling of his room behind him has gradually subsided

  Barely audible.

  If it wasn't for Higashinohara who was very sure that he had heard correctly, if it were someone else, he might start to wonder if he was too nervous and had auditory hallucinations when he first arrived.

  He opened the way with a tactical light in his hand, and saw a dark spot vaguely on the stairs ahead.

   Higashinohara knew that it was a big damaged hole, so he deliberately went around it when he approached.

  The stairs of this kind of low-rise old residential building are not too long. After a few steps, Higashinohara climbed to the corner of the corridor, and he could see the entrance of the corridor on the third floor.

   When he took another step, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found that Nanami Kenjiro was waiting behind him as he said, and his lifeless dead fish eyes were watching him quietly like that.

   Well, kind of scary.

  Higashi Yehara spit in his heart.

  He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and quickly walked towards the third floor.

   But then, at the moment when he stepped up to the third floor, Higashinohara couldn't help but stare at the empty corridor on the right.

  When surveying the building in the evening, he clearly remembered that along the stairs, there was a black sanitation trash can at the corner of the third floor.

  But when he returned to the third floor in the middle of the night, the tactical lighting lights turned on left and right, but the entire corridor was empty.

  Where is there any sanitation trash can?

   Was it dragged away?

  But Gray Mane, the captain of the investigation team, seems to be quite vigilant, or maybe he is hiding something. He has repeatedly emphasized this evening that he should report anything he finds while inspecting the floor, and it is forbidden to move anything without authorization!

   It means that no one should touch the trash can on the third floor, so where did the trash can go?

   Higashinohara couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

  However, he still remembered his purpose of going upstairs, and with the lights on, he took another step and walked towards the room directly above him on the left.

  The room that Higashino originally lived in was Household 207 on the left hand side of the stairs, so the room he is going to now is naturally the corresponding Household 307.

  The tactical lighting in his hand was not enough to completely disperse the ink-stained night around him. In the dimly lit corridor, when Higashinohara walked past the door of other dark rooms.

   I don't know if it's an illusion, but he suddenly felt that the inside didn't seem to be empty like in the evening, it seemed that there really was a family of three or a couple of migrant workers living happily and harmoniously inside.

   There was some inexplicable feeling of doubt in his mind. At this moment, Higashinohara couldn't help shaking his heart, and the familiar "dong dong dong" sound came from his ears again.

  He is currently in front of the door of House 306. As long as he walks through this house, he will be in front of House 307—the house directly above where Higashinohara lives tonight.

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara pulled out the standard chopping sword of the Judgment Department without thinking.

Now that he has mastered the eighth-rank semi-god-level sword type [Nugo One Sword Style], he naturally doesn't need to carry the two katanas bought in the second-hand market at all times. .

  So when he took that step and stood in front of the door of House 307, the indistinct "dong dong dong" sound suddenly stopped.

  Hoo-!

   Higashinohara put his hand on the doorknob, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the door, aiming the tactical lighting in his hand at the house.

   Unexpectedly, at this moment, the voice that had stopped suddenly sounded again without warning.

This time the impact sound came from a bedroom in front of this house, but the sound that came from it was stronger and louder than the countless times before. The sound of countless abandoned reinforced concrete crumbling.

   There seems to be something,

   Suddenly fell from the sunken ground.

   Higashinohara's heart suddenly "thumped", and he rushed over and opened the door with a sword. Inside the door was a master bedroom. The light shone on the ground under the bed, as if someone had smashed a sunken black hole with a hammer!

   Higashinohara was a little dumbfounded.

  He didn't expect that he would take risks and climb up the stairs nervously. The "thing" upstairs separated from the ceiling actually smashed open the ceiling after countless knocks.

   Now he's on top

what is this?

   Pole reversal?

  However, the loud noise at this moment finally woke up the rest of the investigation team. Higashinohara even vaguely heard someone downstairs calling for assembly.

  He didn't want to stay any longer, and he didn't jump out of the big hole that opened in front of him.

  He is brave but not stupid.

   Jumping down so recklessly, who knows what the other party is?

   But just as he turned around to leave, he swept the tactical light in his hand, and accidentally saw a diary with a slightly yellowed and blackened cover on the ground not far in front of him.

   While thinking about it, Higashinohara bent down to pick it up without thinking, and quickly ran towards the entrance of the corridor when he came, holding the chopping sword and the lighting lamp in his hand.

  However, when Higashinohara was about to reach the entrance of the corridor, when he was running, out of the corner of his eye, he inexplicably felt the family with the sanitation trash can before the evening.

  Behind the two dusty black windows, there seemed to be a pair of eyes quietly glanced at him, and then quickly looked away like a shy and introverted girl next door.

  What the hell? !

   Before Higashinohara could think too much about this, the movement on the second floor was getting louder and louder. His body quickly passed the house and rushed down the corridor.

  However, when he turned the corner in one breath, Higashinohara couldn't help being slightly taken aback by the scene in front of him.

In the noisy and chaotic corridor on the second floor, Gray Mane, the captain of the investigation team behind the crowd, was taking out a transparent detection instrument similar to a "metal detector" with a sullen expression, holding it in his hand. The conical detection head Aim at a certain direction on the west side of the corridor on the second floor.

   In the blink of an eye, the detection instrument of unknown purpose suddenly emitted a miserable green light.

  The next moment, Higashinohara only heard a system-synthesized female voice with no emotion at all.

   "Alert! A second-level green dangerous monster has been detected! Alert! A second-level green dangerous monster has been detected!"

   I originally wanted to publish the two chapters together, but I was a little out of shape in the early morning.

   Get some sleep first, there will be a second chapter later.

   Ask for a ticket lol~
