Apartment from Hell Chapter 2 (2/2)
Finally, the elevator stopped at the fourth floor As soon as the elevator doors opened, he walked out i hallway
Although the long hallas brightly lit, the further down the hallway he walked, theof deep seclusion was Both sides of the hallere lined with door after door Each door was marked with a number, “411”, “410”, “412” and so on
When Li Yin got to the “404” rooap underneath the door as it attached itself once again to Li Yin’s feet
But even then, the shadoas doing so that Li Yin was not
It see, but it was impossible to see clearly what it is After that, the shadow dropped that thing into the pocket of its pants When it had completed this action, its hands dropped to its sides and it became motionless
Li Yin hesitantly waved his right ar the waving ht hand
Had his shadow…returned?
At that ht hand into the pocket of his pants where the shadows placed the thing and touched a very hard object
It was a key
The key looked pretty normal except for the number “404” that had been carved on it Thus, Li Yin turned his gaze towards the door to Room 404 in front of hiht spin of the key, the door opened
He walked into Room 404
What greeted hi room furnished with a coffee table, a sofa, a cabinet and a television Attached to the TV were a karaoke box and a stereo that looked like a rather expensive one in the ethat connected the room to a balcony
After carefully looking around, he saw that there were two bedrooms, a study room, a bathroom and a kitchen Furthermore, every roo new and originated from famous brands This roo prices, even if this was a second hand apartment room, it still could not possibly be cheap At least, with his current inco such a luxurious room
This… Just as happening here?
“Are… Are you a new resident?”
Li Yin turned around iirl in a green western-styled dress walked into his line of sight
“Who… Who are you?” Li Yin asked cautiously, his danger senses working overtime
“D-Don’t be scared” The young girl waved her hands hurriedly and said, “I… I am the same as you… My shadow also suddenly disappeared on its own and ran into this apartot the key, right?”
Li Yin was dumbstruck as he iirl, he asked, “What’s going on here? What …what exactly is this apartment?”
“Since you are the new resident, I should follow our rules and bring you to to our residential representative He was elected by all of us When you meet him, he will explain your situation and then he will record your arrival”
“Residential… representative?”
“There are currently 39 residents living in this apartment With you, there will be 40 of us We have all been forcefully restricted by this apartment, so we have no choice but to live here”
Li Yin felt sudden outrage surge within hi to live in this creepy place! ”
That young girl laughed bitterly and said, “Well, you don’t have a choice… When I first entered this apartment, I was also very scared But there really is no choice As soon as our shadows enter this apartiven to us, it means that we are the residents of this aparter any way to escape from here”
As she said this, the young lady’s expression turned tormented
“There…There’s no escape?” Li Yin felt the situation beco more and more sinister by the minute and asked, “Why is there no escape?”
“In the past, there were residents ere selected but chose to not live in this apartment Those people will eventually be killed by their own shadows”
“W-what?”
Li Yin’s eyes ihast
“This…is a joke, right?”
“Did you not see what happened just now? That shadoas completely controlled by this apartment Normally, your shadow is under your control and will do whatever you do, but if you do anything thing that is against the rules here, your shadoill control your body to force you to commit suicide I’ve lived in this apartment for two years… I’ve seen many people ere forced to kill themselves by their shadows because they have violated the apartulations ”
People were conversely being controlled by their own shadows?
This claim was entirely preposterous but Li Yin could not refute it, because he had just witnessed the unusual change of his shadoith his very own eyes
Li Yin was starting to feel that this apartment completely exceeded the boundaries of common sense
“Who…who built this apartment? In fact, e chosen to be the residents?”
That young woman shook her head and said, “I don’t know… I have been thinking about this question many times over the past two years, but I just can’t understand I seriously don’t understand! This apart that we can be certain of We will not be able to see who built this apartment And as for the non-residents, this apartment does not exist in this world”
“W-what do you meant by that?”
“Did you pass by an alley to get here?”
“Yeah, I did…”
“In reality, that alley should be a dead end Only people who have been chosen as residents can pass through that alley and enter this apartment The land that is occupied by this apartment does not exist This land does not exist!”
“Does not…exist?”
Li Yin looked at the balcony outside theHe could clearly see the orderly rows of skyscrapers outside
“We can see the world outside But, the outside world does not see us” The young girl saw through Li Yin’s doubt and explained to him, “When you leave this apartment and walk out of the alley, you will also not be able to see it No one, excepts the residents of this apart exists in this world”
But this apartment’s existence is ultimately undeniable
And the h he stepped foot on an extre road of no return…
