The road to Torous city is neither short nor long, just getting out of the ruins of the ruined city can get there.

The special thing about this world is that, in each place where the boundaries divide the cities, there are demons standing guard, but when passing through another city, do not kill them, otherwise, it will be considered a failed mission.

This rule was just introduced when Nick and William reached the boundary between the two cities, the system popped up a message, in turn, warning the two of them not to kill the demon guards.

There is an abandoned house at the gate through Torous City, which Nick and William temporarily use as a shelter.

In this city, there is no distinction between day and night, because whether it is day or night, the sun is still crimson, shining red light on the city.

The original watch received from the system is the compass to distinguish, the bottom of the clock has an icon representing day or night.

If the display icon is daytime, it will have a sun image, and at night, it will be a moon image.

During the day, except for performing tasks, most demons hide from the sun, quite safe for players. But when at night, the hunters will begin to come out and hunt for their prey, their prey is the player, so the night is a very dangerous time.

Currently, the clock is in the moon symbol, which means that at night, is the most likely time to catch hunting demons.

The two of them temporarily resided in an abandoned house, using the old furniture available in the house to cover the doors and windows, in case of demons attacked.

Nick looked at the bright red peeking out the window, forcing his mouth to ask William next to him: "Why to choose red?"

"Probably wanted to show the gloom of hell." William shrugged and looked outside with him.

"Then we'll go out in the morning." Thinking for a moment, he asked again: "How can I get through the gate without killing them now?"

This was the most damned law he'd ever seen, more inhumane than Dealty City's ancient method of punishment.

Two people sit together to kill time, through the dim light outside, the red color is still glimmering, creating a rare ghost and horror.

Nick said, "Willi, what did you do before coming here?"

William leaned against the rotten wall behind him, looked at him, and thought for a long time before answering: "I am just like you."

"Like me?" Confused Nick pointed at himself and asked back.

William "yeah" once, then added: "The biggest massacre ever, making the Nine Gates instantly crowded, no ticket to the afterlife."

Nick "ah" a sound, he understood the problem.

William and he are alike, participating in the massacre that day, then both fell into a deep sleep and were taken to this world while sleeping.

No foreshadowing.

That day was attended by many rulers, led by him. Because he was always at the top of the command, he did not pay attention to the rulers under his command, it turned out that among them was William.

The two fell into silence, a moment's silence enveloped them both, then Nick as if he had just thought of something, hurriedly sat up straight and spoke loudly.

"Wait." "We just missed something important!" he said.

William panicked at the sudden attitude, he also sat up and looked at Nick: "What is it?"

Nick thought for a moment, after he had linked all the information together, he said: "There were a lot of people that day, if they were like us, they would probably be here."

His words made perfect sense, so the two of them pondered together where the problem was.

Because after that war again made them come here and participate in this game, this is still a mystery.

The atmosphere was so quiet that you could hear the two people's soft breathing, not only inside but even outside it was strangely quiet.

Then with a "bang" sound, the cabinet they used to block the door fell down instantly, as if a tremendous force had just been acted on from the outside.

The two reflexively backed away, away from the door, and at the same time, the guns started to mount.

The two looked at each other, no one said anything, holding their breath, waiting for the next development.

The closed door slowly opened, and a long sticky hand reached inside, it directly pulled the door open from the latch and pulled it straight out.

Half of the monster appeared, they could see half of its slick black body, above the body as if it was covered by a layer of mud, when it entered there was a strong fishy smell. terrible.

The place they were in was the attic of a two-story house, the roof's height was similar to that of the monster, when it was fully exposed behind the door, both could clearly see it.

It is tall, thin, and especially with only half of its head, we can only see it from the bottom of its mouth, and the top is like being cut by something, completely empty.

This concludes: The monster is blind.

It relied on people's sounds and breaths to detect them, something Nick and William noticed as soon as it entered the room.

Both of them were hiding in the leftmost corner of the room, behind the gap in an old closet, which could be seen from outside the door, but the monster was groping for their location. slowly.

The two of them looked at each other, and both put their hands to their noses, holding their breaths as hard as they could, trying not to let themselves make even the slightest noise.

The monster used its long arms to swing back and forth in the room, when it touched the cabinet next to the two of them, it used its hands to knock it down, creating a huge roar that filled the whole room.

The space was quiet again, it couldn't find anything, so it opened its wide mouth full of fangs, and a stench quickly covered the whole room.

The monster's mouth made a buzzing sound like an old fan about to fail, it turned around in every nook and cranny of the room, then used its hands to search a few places.

When the cabinet fell on top of the large bed next to it, creating a hole big enough for two people to get in, and when the loud noise caught the monster's attention, Nick and William ducked inside. that gap safely.

The two of them lay on their stomachs inside, breathing as lightly as possible, lying motionless, watching the monster move through the small opening in the room.

After finding nothing for a while, the monster left, just as quickly as it appeared.

After it left for about five minutes, the two still didn't dare to open their mouths to talk, they could only use their hands to point and point as if they were talking to each other.

Nick raised his hand to ask William if they could get out, and when William nodded, they took a deep breath and slowly emerged from their safe hiding place as they bounced.

William walked over to the door, gently closed it slowly so that there was no sound, then dared to breathe.

"Is it gone?" Nick used his hand to express his question, until now he still did not dare to speak, as if he was afraid it would hear them and rush in here at any moment.

William nodded, then signaled he could pronounce the sound.

Only then did Nick breathe a sigh of relief, he said in a low voice: "It's scary, fortunately, he didn't see us."

"It's blind," William said.

"Yes," Nick said while laughing out loud, seemingly after the narrow escape made her so happy that she couldn't stop laughing.

William also laughed, the two of them were about to say something more when there was a noise downstairs, and the laughter in the room immediately stopped.

The door to the room opened again, accompanied by the monster's dryer-like voice: "I know you're here."
