This actor is full of tricks.

Lin Jue had already prepared a response to this problem. He frowned and put on an impatient expression: "You just said such tantalizing things and then didn't finish. Do you think I'd still be able to eat anything?"

“I’m not interested in food right now. I just want to know what you’re talking about and how we can get into Building 1.”

His tone and expression conveyed his dissatisfaction. In any case, Yan Hui's character was eccentric, and it was normal for his personality to become more arrogant as his strength increased.

Upon hearing this, the other two residents also put down the meat in their mouths: "Indeed, getting into Building 1 is more important than eating."

"Sigh." Resident No. 2 stopped the knife and fork, sighed, seemingly lamenting that these wild boars couldn't eat fine food. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. "Actually, you don't need to pay too high a price. I only have one request."

"This request is very simple for you, and you could even say it is very beneficial for you."

It doesn't require paying a high price, and it can bring great benefits?

"Hurry up and tell me," the big-headed weirdo could no longer contain his anxiety.

Resident No. 2 picked up his wine glass, swirled it gracefully, and took a small sip of the red wine. Just as Big Head Weird was about to burst into a tirade, he calmly said, "It's very simple. You just need to follow me. By 'follow,' I mean I am your master."

“I happen to have three Netherworld Contracts here, obtained from the mist. You can each take one. Once you sign the contract, I will take you to Building 1.”

After he finished speaking, he pushed three black cards over from the table.

Against a pure black background, the card features a blood-red incantation and a grotesque, bloodthirsty ghost face at the top. The overall design exudes an eerie and ominous aura, along with a captivating magic that seems to devour the soul.

This is a mysterious artifact. We can roughly deduce its specific function from the words of resident number 2.

This thing should be like a Poké Ball, and the weird thing is a Pokémon. Once you sign a contract, it's like being captured, and your life and death will no longer be in your own hands.

It seems this banquet was a trap, and that was the real purpose of resident number 2.

The other two residents looked extremely grim, staring intently at the black card called "Nether Contract," remaining silent for a long time. The atmosphere became somewhat tense at this moment, as no one wanted to obey others for no reason and have their life in someone else's hands.

“I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m very easygoing and won’t make you do anything against your will.” Resident No. 2 swirled his wine glass leisurely, seemingly quite certain that Lin Jue and the other residents would sign the contract.

“Anyone can say nice things.” The big-headed weirdo was the first to jump out and object: “Putting aside all this contract stuff, that door is already closed, so why are you so sure you can take us in?”

The resident in apartment number 2 seemed to have anticipated the question, as he calmly replied, "My friend has already gone inside. Once he's finished dealing with things there, he'll open the door from the inside and let us in."

Someone has already gone in?
Lin Jue's heart skipped a beat. Was this some kind of scheme, plotted by collusion between insiders and outsiders?

Another strange resident thought for a moment, then asked with some uncertainty in his tone, "Is your friend the guy in the raincoat from before?" The guy in the raincoat?

For the first time, Lin Jue's emotions changed. He also recognized a guy in a raincoat, Fu Yu, the righteous and murderous man who bore the sins of all the perpetrators.

Could it be Fu Yu? He also came to Black Street and went into Building No. 1?

Not only did his mood change, but the smile on resident number 2's face also froze instantly: "What, the guy in the raincoat?"

"Just one ghost in a raincoat? Half his face is disfigured, and he's incredibly strong. From the moment he entered the Black Street, he crushed his way from the outer circle to the inner circle, and even pushed open that door that wasn't completely closed." The ghost's eyes held a hint of doubt: "You don't know him? That's strange. No one else has successfully entered Building 1 during this time. And who is this friend you're talking about?"

It really is Fu Yu! And Fu Yu's strength is much greater than before; he has swept through the entire Black Street!

Hearing the description of the strange creature, Lin Jue finally confirmed it and felt a little happy. Fu Yu was his friend, and since the other party was currently in Building 1, he would have a powerful helper when he entered Building 1 later.

The resident of Building 2 looked rather grim. An unknown and powerful monster had entered Building 1, which was clearly not part of his plan.

He didn't reply. The woman next to him, picking at her fingernails, said, "That guy isn't our friend. As for how our friend got in, he has his own methods. You don't need to worry about that."

"All you need to know is that if you follow Number 2, Building 1 will be within your grasp. It holds the secret to becoming an extremely vicious criminal. You need to know how to choose."

The woman's tone carried a hint of warning, but the two residents paid no attention; all their attention was focused on the four large characters "extremely vicious and wicked."

The phrase "extremely evil and malevolent" is like a Pandora's box placed before us, exuding endless allure, the ultimate destination that all the strange and eerie yearn for.

"Is the legend true?" The big-headed man's eerie eyes were filled with excitement and longing; just hearing about it made his heart race.

"How will you know if you don't try?" The woman chuckled and picked out the blood powder from under her fingernails. "The most vicious and evil is the king of all the strange and mysterious, the top existence at the very pinnacle of the entire misty pyramid. Even if there's only a one percent chance, it's worth a try, isn't it?"

It must be said that this woman is quite adept at using words to bewitch people, at least she has a fatal attraction for the eccentric who doesn't think too much.

The giant-headed monster could no longer restrain its greed. It opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of black resentment onto the contract. The scarlet ghost face on the black card instantly came to life, swallowed the resentment, and burrowed back into the contract.

After doing all this, Big Head Weird seemed to have all his strength drained away, slumping into the chair. He looked at Resident Number 2 with a submissive gaze: "Am I one of you now? Can I come with you to Building Number 1?"

“Of course.” A genuine smile appeared on the face of resident number 2.

Does that mean the contract is successful?
Lin Jue stared at the black card in front of him. Where did this thing come from? It could actually restrain a C-rank anomaly. This was a good thing. If some anomalies couldn't be contained in the raincoat due to their rationality, this thing could be used to restrain them. (End of Chapter)
