reversal impulse

In fact, there is no need to look for them at all. When they walked out of the building, the deserted streets naturally showed their situation at the moment.

The sky was getting darker, and fog began to fill the streets.After walking about 600 meters, the surrounding environment began to become blurred.The temperature of the air also decreases with the increase of humidity, and the visibility of the field of view becomes extremely poor.

The only thing visible in this thick fog was another building.

Jia Ruozi raised his head to observe.

He hadn't seen the external structure of the Wutiao Building before, but judging from Fuhesher's reaction, they shouldn't look alike.

In fact, not only does it not look like much, this building is completely separated from other buildings just from the outside, full of weird feelings.

From the outside, this is a cylindrical high-rise building - two half-moon buildings that can be fully snapped together, and the common ground floor embeds them together.

"Do you want to go in?" Nitro was standing on the driveway on the side of the street. It was almost impossible to see the surrounding area clearly. The sky was getting dark quickly, the street lights were buzzing, and the only stable light source was the first floor of the building. He asked Shi Er , "Did you go directly into the building last time? Did Emiya Shiro remind you?"

Fu Heisher squinted at him: "Last time you fell directly from the building, but you gave me a big reminder."

"Okay, I understand, let's go in directly."

There is a rusted iron plate next to the automatic door of the building, and the words on it have also been rusted a lot, and the words "Xiaochuan Apartment" can be vaguely discerned.

After entering, the damp and cold outside disappeared, replaced by a peaceful atmosphere under the warm yellow light.

The interior of Xiaochuan Apartment is also different from traditional apartments. After entering the door, there is a very magnificent corridor.

The two walked through the corridor to the elevator in the lobby on the first floor.

"It's so clean here."

Looking around, the walls are completely milky. Compared with the external environment that is almost covered with moss, it seems that someone cleans and restores it every day. There is no artificial black mark on the wall, even at the very low ankles. nor.

He looked around carefully: "There is no manager's room."

And in the center of the hall is an elevator that looks like a column. This column and the surrounding walls enclose a staircase that rotates upwards. The lights on the side of the stairs are dim red, which dyes the milky wall into the same dark red. , and then you can't see anything clearly when you wind up.

Fu Heisher suddenly stopped behind the family, and he lowered his head.

"The box is moving," he said.

Nitro stared at the suitcase containing Saya. It was indeed trembling as Shier said, but it was not the kind where something wanted to escape, more like...

"Saya is... showing the way?" Nitro took two steps forward and patted Shier's arm, "Relax a little and see if that's the case."

Jia Ruozi guessed right, almost after Fuheshier let go of a little strength, the box immediately moved in one direction, which was the direction of the elevator in the center of the hall.

"She wants us to go upstairs."

Fuheshier asked: "What are you going to do?"

Nitro frowned, feeling a little strange, what is the purpose of Cheng Zi giving Saya to herself?Lead the way like now?Or give him a physical boost?

Or both.

This is not easy to say.

"Let's go, follow her instructions for now." Nitro pressed the elevator button to go upstairs.

Contrary to the exquisite appearance of the interior, the elevator actually made obvious noises during operation. It was not the joints of the steel cables when changing floors, but the creaking sound similar to the mechanical operation when it lacks lubrication.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and when the sound stopped suddenly, the elevator door opened with a "ding".

Jia Ruozi and Fu Heisher looked at each other and walked in.

"Open the box a little bit."

After Shi Er did so, a slightly slender tentacle came out. It first surged about half a meter in the direction of Nitzi, and trembled weakly after being grabbed by the man carrying the box.

Then he turned around and fumbled for the elevator button.

It lights up the fifth floor.

The elevator creaked into motion.

"It's spinning." Fuheshier raised his hand against the circular inner wall of the elevator, and said with his head sideways, "Half a circle... it's spinning half a circle on the second floor."

"I didn't feel this, so this is intentionally designed to be undetectable?" Nitro felt more and more strange, "This is an apartment, and it stands to reason that there should be residents on both sides, and the elevator can't only lead to one side—— Will the residents on the other side not complain?"

"Are you talking about residents' complaints in this kind of place?" Fuheshier felt a little funny, "Are there any residents here?"

"That's not what it means." He explained his thoughts, "This design is very unreasonable, and with the noise of the elevator itself, an insensitive person like me can't detect that the elevator rotates half a circle, which means we go out. The direction you’re facing isn’t what it used to be – that’s a confusion in itself. It’s very unreasonable for an apartment to be built.”

The elevator opens at this moment.

Jia Ruozi didn't continue to struggle with the elevator, Saya dragged the box out, and they continued to follow the prompts.

The elevator is facing a passage that is not very wide, which connects the inner and outer rings, but when Nitzi walks out of the passage, he finds that there is only half of the apartment here - to get to the other half, he needs to walk half a circle around the inner circle of the elevator. If you go around the outermost circle, you can't go directly to the other side.

Saya led them to a house and turned the doorknob without any instructions.

The door was not locked, and the click of the lock could be heard with a slight twist.

The door was pitch black, and when Niatz was about to walk in, Shi Er reached out and grabbed his wrist.

After experiencing the Wutiao Building, he needs to be more aware of the nature of this "invisibility". After entering the room, it may be another completely different space.

"It didn't move." Fuheshier lifted the box, and the original tentacles retracted, and the box remained motionless after closing it again.

Jiaguozi thought for a while, and simply circled the wrist of Fu Heisher's hand holding the box, ensuring that he would not suddenly get lost for some inexplicable reason without affecting his other hand.

"Hold the box to me. If there is any accident, you can just grab me and leave. The box is too in the way in your hands."

Fu Heisher tilted his head, stared at his wrist, and listened to Nitzi say: "Of course, you have to tell me beforehand, is that okay?"

"Okay." Shi'er gave him the box, and Nitzi held the box in one hand and held his wrist with the other - he couldn't hold it at all.

Fu Heisher looked into the room, walked in without saying anything.

Sure enough, it was very similar to the previous Wutiao Building. The room was obviously a different type of space. Although it was still indoors, it was a room that had nothing to do with the Japanese-style apartment.

It is an old-fashioned European-style building, the room is very high, and the wallpaper is light coffee with patterns-the kind of wallpaper that is common in hotels.

After walking in, Nitro looked back, the previous door was still embedded in the wall, although it didn't match the overall style of the place, it meant that they could leave at any time.

At least for now it seems that you can leave at any time.

Unlike the downstairs of Xiaochuan's apartment, there is a front desk and a receptionist here, but...

"That's a crow, isn't it?" Jia Ruozi asked softly, "Is it the receptionist wearing a crow hood?"

Fu Heisher looked around at the other party's neck, and then observed the hair on his limbs.

"He's a crow," he said. "A crow in a suit."

As they discussed, behind the clean wooden front desk stood a 1.6-meter-tall... crow in a decent dark suit.

His body and limbs are completely human-like, with a small part retaining animal feelings, such as hair and nails, but his head is completely a crow's head enlarged to the size of a human head.

Whether it's the black feathers, round bird eyes, or pointed beak, no matter how you look at it, this is a crow.

While the two were talking, the waiter crow rolled his eyes silently. He tilted his head, and stared firmly at Jia Ruzi with one eye.

This weird scene made Nitzi slightly dumbfounded, but he didn't avert his eyes, and while looking back at the past, he tugged Shi Er's wrist: "Go and ask about the situation."

"If he can communicate," he added.

As they approached the front desk, a bell rang.

It's the old telephone next to the crow.

Jia Ruozi stopped about two meters away from the front desk, and he found that even though the ringing of the phone echoed throughout the hall, the crow had no intention of answering the phone, and the pair of black eyes were still fixed on him.

The box in his hand vibrated, and it was Saya who was urging him to pass.

When he walked to the front desk, the crow handed him a receiver that looked a bit like a disposable paper cup.

[Please take a look at my portrait. ] A male voice said on the phone.

Jia Ruozi: "What?"

The other party repeated: [Please take a look at my portrait. 】

Jia Ruozi: "I don't understand what this means."

[Please take a look at my portrait. 】

"..."

He understood that no matter what he said, the person on the other side seemed to only reply with one sentence—it was like a reminder to push something.

But he didn't know what was driving it.

After hanging up the phone, Nitro first tried to talk to Crow: "Hello?"

And the other party's gaze has never left the house, like a camera that accurately captures all his actions.

Then the crow opened its mouth.

It uttered a cry—a call that was quite the cry of a crow.

Impossible to communicate, so far it seems.

"He wants us to see the portrait, but I don't know who's calling." Jia Ruozi didn't hurry to do what the other party said, he retreated to the door again, and his eyes circled around again, "Do you think, and The previous "observations" were much gentler this time? "

Fu Heisher smiled: "The first time you were directly tied away by the tentacles, and the second time you jumped off the building after disappearing, it seems that it is indeed a lot gentler."

"..." Glass didn't expect that this person could turn over an old account twice at a time. He forcibly ignored Shi Er's answer, and then tried to open the door, "I want to go to other rooms first."

"Also." Fu Heisher shrugged indifferently.

But the door couldn't be opened, although it was still here, it seemed to be locked now.

At the same time, the phone at the front desk rang again, one after another, filling the entire hall under the crow's unemotional gaze.

"..." Jia Ruozi slowly walked to the front desk again, and Crow handed him the receiver again.

The somewhat deep male voice was still on the phone, speaking in a tone that sounded polite before, but now he didn’t give any room for rejection——

[Please take a look at my portrait. 】
