Chapter 468 Weird Building
Li Yi was not tempted by the things on the fork in the road. He and Xuan Yuezi walked through the aisle without hesitation. However, what he was experiencing was a little strange. He didn’t know whether he was in Tianzhong City or had come to an unknown world. This darkness was filled with too many incomprehensible things.

When this fork in the road came to an end, light appeared in front, and then the space in front of me suddenly became clear.

This is a city that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The city’s planning is neat and uniform, with U-shaped buildings neatly arranged in an orderly manner. The appearance and shape of each building are exactly the same, as if they were copied. These buildings are not abandoned and idle, but show signs of use. Many windows and corridors in the buildings have lights on.

The whitish light was one of the few sources of light in this dim city.

He looked up at the sky.

There is no sunshine or stars in this sky, only darkness like the abyss.

“This is definitely not Tianzhong City.” Li Yi understood at this moment.

The so-called dark invasion is most likely a strange and weird world invading a corner of the world. The monster-like building encountered before and the hair falling from the sky should be related to this place.

But what kind of world is this?
Nothing at all.

Just darkness and uncertainty.

If there are people in this world, can they really survive here?
Not only is there no sunlight here, there is no land either, so it is impossible to farm and feed itself. Or was it that this was once a complete city, but was invaded by darkness, which led to this state?
Li Yi looked into the distance and looked around, trying to find some different places.

However, the streets between the buildings were empty, with nothing on them, not even any vehicles. It was surprisingly clean. This scene was somewhat similar to the Tianzhong City outside. If we infer from this, we cannot stay outside this place for long, otherwise we may face unknown dangers again.

I took out my cell phone and looked at it.

There was still no signal, but Yang Wei had hung up the phone and no more calls came.

Li Yi was a little doubtful. Was it Yang Wei who called him to come over, or was he deceived by a certain voice and lured into this strange city?
However, the passage behind him was still there and did not disappear. This meant that he could return along the original route anytime and anywhere without worrying about being trapped here. This was good news.

However, the passage he had just walked through was at the bottom of a U-shaped building, and there was not just one intersection in the passage, but at least dozens or hundreds of them were neatly arranged. Each of these intersections was exactly the same. If you didn’t remember them carefully, you would soon get lost and unable to find your original way back.

To be on the safe side, Li Yi snapped his fingers and a stream of energy flew out, preparing to leave his own mark at the entrance of the passage.

The strong energy fell on the wall and tore a hole. However, what was strange was that from the depths of the crack, a stream of blood flowed out, and there was scarlet flesh and blood wriggling inside the wall.

“Is this building also a monster?” Li Yi’s face changed slightly when he saw this scene.

And as the blood flowed out, it quickly filled the gap. Then the blood coagulated and gradually turned into a gray-black wall, automatically repairing the opening that had been cut by the strong energy.

Li Yi then looked at other buildings not far away. He wanted to try and see if the other buildings would be like this. But just as he was about to release his internal energy, suddenly, a man’s voice came from a relatively spacious entrance of the building behind him.

“Which building are you from? Don’t stay outside, come in quickly, or you will die.”

Li Yi and Xuan Yuezi immediately looked back.

However, they saw a relatively large passageway connected to the depths of the building. Standing in the passageway was a man in a suit. His speech, appearance, and height were all the same as those of humans on Earth. At this moment, the man was waving his hand, motioning Li Yi and Xuan Yuezi to come over.

“Is there really a living person?” Li Yi was a little surprised.

There is actually a living person living in this monster-like building, and he looks like an ordinary person.

This is getting even more bizarre.

Li Yi walked over and asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

“My name is Liu Ming. I’m the doorman in this building. I’ve only been working for three days. The previous doorman died, so I was chosen to take over this job. You are so brave. You are not afraid at all standing outside the building. You should know that there are many terrifying things outside the building. Even veterans dare not rashly go out of the building to explore.”

The man in a suit named Liu Ming spoke. He had been standing in the corridor and did not dare to walk out of the building easily.

Li Yi stared at him and said, “Is there anyone else living in this building?”

“Of course, there are many people living in every building, but there are relatively few people living in the building behind me, at least dozens of people. Because this building is relatively poor and cannot support more people, many people have taken the risk of moving to other buildings.” Liu Ming said.

“Have you always lived here?” Li Yi asked again.

Liu Ming said, “No, I lived in another building when I was a kid. Then I moved here with my parents when I grew up. I’ve lived here for about ten years. Which building did you move from?”

Li Yi was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Have you lived in a building since childhood?
Is it the same for Liu Ming’s parents?

So, they are the native residents of this world. But, how is this possible?

How could such a dark and strange place, and a building formed by monsters, allow an ordinary person to live here for more than 36 years? How do they survive? Can they live without food and water like the ghost riders in World ? Or do they look like humans, but are actually monsters in human skin?

But no matter how Li Yi observed, Liu Ming was very normal.

There was no smell of monsters, and nothing unusual.

The only unusual thing is that the style of Liu Ming’s suit doesn’t suit him very well. It’s a bit loose and not very close-fitting when he wears it.

“Do you want to go into the building and take a look?” Li Yi was a little afraid, but also curious, and wanted to know what was going on here.

He looked at Xuan Yuezi who was standing beside him.

Xuan Yuezi smiled slightly, appearing very calm. It was obvious that even under such circumstances, she had the confidence to protect Li Yi’s life.

“If you don’t want to come to this building, leave quickly. Don’t keep lingering at the door. Be careful not to bring danger in. The security level of this building is not very high. It can’t provide very good shelter. The previous guard was killed by a monster.” Liu Ming urged at this moment. He was also a little scared. He didn’t want to stay at the door and wanted to go back into the building.

Li Yi was about to speak when suddenly, his silver eyes glanced across the dark sky.

Something is flying towards this side quickly.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

What is that? Under the tattered black cloak, a pair of skinny arms stretched out, holding an old wooden-handled sickle, like the god of death in mythology and legends. At this moment, he let out bursts of strange bitter laughter, which made people creepy.

There is more than one such monster.

Li Yi saw such a monster lingering behind another building. It seemed to have discovered Li Yi and Xuan Yuezi as well, and rushed over with a wry smile, waving an old sickle.

Xuan Yuezi immediately took a step forward, intending to use his Taoist magic to kill these monsters.

“Fairy, please save your energy. We don’t understand the situation here, so let’s not act rashly.” Li Yi persuaded her, because the situation here reminded him of the time when he went to the ghost post office to deliver a letter. To be cautious, he didn’t want to act rashly.

“Let’s go inside the building and take a look. I really want to know how so many ordinary people can live in such a monster-like building.”

He then walked towards the building behind him without hesitation.

Before leaving, Li Yi did not forget to flick out a drop of blood, which fell above the entrance of the passage he had just returned from.

Using my own blood as a mark shouldn’t disappear.

Xuan Yuezi didn’t say anything. She was also looking at everything around her. Since Li Yi didn’t want her to take action, she was willing to restrain herself.

“Hurry up, hurry up.” Liu Ming urged hurriedly when he saw Li Yi and Xuan Yuezi coming.

Then he ran forward without looking back.

This passage is large and spacious, but also a bit deep and long.

Walking inside, the footsteps echoed. The surroundings were dim and depressing. There was no light around. There was only a small table at the end of the passage with an old kerosene lamp on it.

The flame of the kerosene lamp was adjusted to the minimum, and its purpose was obviously not for lighting but for early warning.

As long as the kerosene lamp goes out, it means that danger has invaded the building, and all residents in the building must be careful. It also lets people in other buildings know that this place has encountered an accident and is not suitable for moving in.

When Li Yi and Xuan Yuezi walked through the corridor and entered the building, they were once again shocked by the scene in front of them.

In the middle of this U-shaped building, there was actually a corpse sitting cross-legged that was several hundred meters tall. This corpse should be a female corpse. Although the flesh and blood on many parts of the body had disappeared, revealing the pale skeleton, obvious female characteristics could still be seen in some parts. What was surprising was that there were many lush trees growing on the tall female corpse.

The trees are lush and leafy, with many red fruits hanging on them. Some of these fruits are ripe, while some are still green.

“She has been dead for at least a few hundred years.” Xuan Yuezi’s beautiful eyes moved slightly at this moment: “When she was alive, her strength was terrifying. After her death, her body remained immortal and did not decay. Instead, it nourished the people in this building. It’s incredible. What kind of power can kill such a person here?”

Li Yi’s face also changed. He could feel that this corpse was still emitting a strange energy field even now. This energy field enveloped the building, providing some kind of shelter here, protecting the people here from being disturbed by the darkness outside.

So, this is why those hairs didn’t dare to invade the house before?

“Is it like this in this building, or is there a corpse like this in every building outside?” Li Yi couldn’t help but wonder.

That would be horrible if that were the case.
