Xie Lun did not completely erase the memories of Ethan and others, so in the memories of Ethan and others, he was captured in Moscow. After Xie Lun rescued him, he used a flying sword to directly send him and others to Dubai. Therefore, they did not remember the small town in the Far East where they had arrived, and naturally they would not remember the strange apartment building.
But after all, they had been close to that building, seen it, recorded it, thought about it, said it before. Even if Xie Lun helped to clear the building from their memories, the building had already had an invisible impact on them.
"Let's go," Ethan rubbed his brows and said to the others, "Even if Sherron is not here, we must stop this deal in Dubai."
Although Hawkeye was unwilling to do so, he had already been sent to Dubai, and he couldn't fly, so he could only follow Ethan into the car and head to Dubai.
And just as they were rushing to Dubai with a full car full of people, braving the wind and sand, Sherron had already opened the door of the apartment building and stepped in.
The lightbulbs in the corridor flickered, emitting an ominous yellow light. The staircase illuminated by the light was dark, and the shadows grew and shrunk with the light, as if there were some terrible monster hidden in it.
Xie Lun casually pressed his hand on the wall next to him. The wall had peeled off and was covered with graffiti. And with Xie Lun's press, a black and blue translucent light wave appeared. In the blink of an eye, the eight-story apartment building was already under Xie Lun's control.
The situation in the building came to Xie Lun's mind. He frowned slightly, and instead of taking the elevator, he walked up the stairs on the side. After walking up three steps, he carefully moved his feet to the side.
I saw a dead rat lying on the front steps.
As one of the toughest species on earth, rats would not be able to survive in the ice and snow outside, but they would also have a very difficult life. But in such an apartment building with heating and food, life is obviously very comfortable.
The mouse in front of Xie Lun was very big, like a half-sized cat. Lying on the steps, his mouth was long and wide, blood was flowing everywhere, and his death was extremely miserable.
Of course, Sherron was not afraid of mice, but behind the dead mouse, on the step above, there was a particularly fat cat lying. The death state was the same as this mouse, lying on its side on the ground with bleeding from its orifices.
And it looks like it's not like a cat and a mouse, but more like both sides escaping in tandem.
Xie Lun looked up the stairs. On the flickering steps, there were many animal carcasses lying everywhere. There were the most rats, followed by dogs and cats, and even two parrots.
These animals sensed the danger and wanted to escape from the building, but unfortunately...
Sherron walked around the dead animals and continued upward. He did not stop on the first to sixth floors because he already knew that there was no one on these six floors.
All the people gathered on the seventh floor.
Xie Lun walked to a door in the middle of the seventh floor, reached out and knocked on the door, but received no response. He put his hand on the door and pushed it gently. The door creaked and opened a gap, revealing the cabinets and other furniture that blocked the door.
"Ah, she's here, help, she's coming in..."
There were screams, panicked footsteps, and even the sound of a few guns being loaded.
"she?"
Xie Lun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Who is she you are talking about?"
"It should be me, right?"
A strange voice sounded from beside Xie Lun.
Xie Lun turned around and looked calmly. Suddenly, a tall woman appeared next to him. She was holding a huge dinner plate with a silver round cover in her hand, looking at her with a smile.
It's just that both the other person's smile and the aura emanating from the other person's body gave Xie Lun a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Hello, my name is Anna, and I live on the eighth floor." The woman smiled, "You look a little unfamiliar, as if I have never seen you before. Are you here to visit relatives and friends?"
"You are beautiful."
Xie Lun did not answer, but sighed at the appearance of the woman.
Ana smiled: "Thank you."
As she said that, she handed over the plate in her hand: "Would you like the cake I just made?"
Xie Lun looked at the dinner plate covered by the silver plate and said calmly: "Are you going to bring it and let the people inside share it?"
Anna nodded, feeling a little troubled: "As neighbors, we should be friendly to each other. But I don't know why, I've been here several times, but they just won't open the door for me."
Before he finished speaking, a woman's roar came from inside: "Get out of here, you devil..."
"ah?"
Anna seemed to be frightened, and carefully hid away from Xie Lun, and whispered a little aggrievedly: "I mean well, and their attitude doesn't need to be so bad."
Suddenly there was a sound of vomiting coming from the door, and then a more panicked voice came: "Marissa is vomiting blood..."
"Damn it, I told you not to pay attention to the devil outside."
"Her voice was full of curses."
"Close the door, close the door quickly."
With a sound of wood rubbing against each other, the door that had just been pushed open by Xie Lun was closed again.
Anna blinked in confusion. After a moment, she suddenly turned to look at Xie Lun: "Since they don't eat it, would you like to try it?"
"OK."
Xie Lun reached out to lift up the silver plate, but a few flies flew out of it, as well as a pungent stench.
What's under the silver plate is not a fragrant cake, but an unknown object that rotted into mud.
"Why is it like this again?"
Faced with such a strange situation, Anna's expression didn't change much. She just shook her head in confusion and sighed: "Looks like I'll do it again."
With that said, she turned around and left while holding the dinner plate. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, looked back at Xie Lun, and said with a smile: "I think you are quite a nice person. How about we come together and I treat you to dinner?"
"Don't bother me?"
"Don't disturb me, I'm alone at home."
Anna didn't seem to care that there was a stranger in the house. She led Sherron upstairs and soon arrived at the door of her house.
Unlike the situation outside where there were dead rats everywhere and the lights were dim, Anna's house was very clean and tidy, but there was still a smell of corruption in the air.
It seemed like something was rotting in the room.
"You sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen."
Anna smiled and nodded to Sherron, walked into the kitchen holding the dinner plate, and closed the kitchen door with her backhand.
Xie Lun looked around and reached out to touch the walls covered with exquisite wallpapers. As a result, the wallpapers turned into crumbs and fell off.
These wallpapers only look okay on the outside, but in fact they are already fragile and turn into crumbs at the slightest touch.
The walls covered by wallpaper were even covered with mold, just like an abandoned old house that had been inhabited for decades.
"Sorry for the waitting."
Sherron was observing the wall carefully, and Anna had already carried the dinner plate again and walked in from the kitchen. Putting the dinner plate on the long coffee table in the living room, he smiled at Sherron and said, "I made some cakes again."
"It's fast enough."
Xie Lun smiled, reached out and lifted the lid on the dinner plate.
This time there were no flies or rotting objects inside, but a bloody hand.
"How about it?" Anna said with a smile, "Eat it while it's hot."
