The neighbor seemed somewhat disappointed; he didn't knock again, turned around, and left.

However, for some reason, Jon felt that his neighbor's movements were somewhat stiff and that he walked with an awkward gait.

It's like a rag doll that's not very smooth.

dong dong dong-

A new knocking sounded slowly; it came from a house next to Jon's.

约恩

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the electronic peephole, returned to the sofa, and leaned against the fire, letting out a sigh.

He was still somewhat confused.

The knocking outside gradually stopped, as if the person outside had knocked on every door without getting any response, so they gave up and left the building.

Time passed slowly, and just as Yorn was about to fall asleep, a soft knocking sounded on the door.

Thump...thump...thump

Jon woke up from his dream.

He staggered to his feet, walked to the door, and turned on the electronic peephole. This time, however, the peephole showed no view of the hallway; instead, it was completely dark.

dong dong dong-

The knocking sounded again, but the electronic peephole remained completely dark.

"Stop playing these tricks. Everyone is resting and has to go to work tomorrow."

Jon sighed and knocked on the door, signaling to the neighbors outside to stop making a fuss.

After saying that, the knocking stopped.

Yorn turned around, preparing to return to the sofa.

dong dong dong-

A new knocking sounded at the door.

Yorn turned around angrily and flung open the door. "Are you ever going to stop?"

However, what appeared before him was a man wearing a top hat and a long overcoat.

“Nel…” Yorn was taken aback, “Why are you here?”

"I received your signal."

That inverted V symbol was the code of Jon's Nel. When they were apprentices in the restaurant, they would sometimes sneak some food, and that's how they invented this inverted V symbol, which means, 'Help! Help!'

After hearing Heo's explanation, Yorn paused for a moment, then said softly, "You should leave quickly. There are gangs and FBI agents all around; you'll be easily discovered."

“You may need to worry about more than just them now.”

He looked up, and thick, sticky fluid landed on his face.

Twisted, crazed heads were pressed against the wall of the Yorn family's house, just above the door.

They were densely packed together, heads bowed, their eyes gleaming red as they stared at He Ao.

"what?"

When Jon saw Heo tilt his head back, he subconsciously tilted his head back as well.

However, He Ao suddenly pulled him out of the room.

Before he could understand what was happening, he vaguely saw a somewhat swollen shadow descend from the sky and attack his back.

It was a somewhat aged figure, his mouth split open in a maniacal grin, his eyes wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to bulge out.

He laughed wildly as he looked at Jon, reaching out his withered, bony hand to grab Jon's neck.

"Uncle Guido?"

This somewhat swollen, aged figure was the neighbor who had told Jon the strange knocking story earlier that day. His body, which was originally very thin, was now stretched out by reddened flesh, making him look like a bloated fat man.

His torso was very fat, but his arms were very thin, withered and just skin and bones, as if all the flesh and blood in his body had been sucked away.

His legs had disappeared, replaced by a long, tentacle-like strip of flesh.

Just as the hand was about to touch Yorn's neck, a silver dagger flashed out, blocking the incoming claw.

At the same time, Jon felt the hand grabbing his collar suddenly tighten, throwing him away and landing not far down the stairwell.

Only then did he get a clear look at the monster that had attacked him.

It looked like a giant spider, with its thin legs lined up tightly against the wall.

Instead of a large body, these slender legs are tentacles that stand upright like the stems of a bouquet. Each tentacle is connected to a person's upper body. These dense tentacles come together like a bouquet that has been arranged.

Larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

The 'flowers' of this bouquet are twisted bodies of various shapes, covering the entire ceiling of the corridor like a viscous liquid, leaving only the dim corridor lights.

As Jon noticed these 'flowers,' the flowers also noticed him.

They turned their heads, looked at Jon, and all of them revealed a sinister smile.

So the one who just knocked on the door wasn't the neighbor, but these 'things'.

Jon suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. If Heo had arrived a little later, he might have already become one of these 'flowers'.

However, the monster had no time to pay attention to Yorn at the moment, because after the attack, the monster's attention was entirely focused on Heo.

One by one, the tentacles retracted, and those flower-like bodies fell from the top of the building, suddenly attacking He Ao who was standing in the middle.

At that very moment, Heo drew another short sword.

"Are you all crazy? Making such a racket here in the middle of the night, are you trying to give your shabby brain a fancy makeover?"

Another door not far from Yorn was suddenly pulled open; the sound arrived before the person inside even came out.

Attracted by the sound, the bodies controlled by the tentacles turned their heads, revealing a dense cluster of heads with bloodshot eyes staring at the open door.

A robust middle-aged woman stepped out of the room.

She stood at the doorway, gazing at the heads that resembled a cluster of flowers.

Time seemed to stand still in that second.

The woman's expression froze on her face.

She forced a stiff smile and waved lightly at the heads staring at her.

"Hi?"

The next second, she rushed back to her room. "I must be dreaming. I have to go back to sleep right away."

Those bodies flying in the air followed closely behind.

However, she was one step ahead and slammed the door shut before the heads flew inside.

The door was locked from the inside with a click-clack sound.

A faint sound of rapid breathing could be heard coming from behind the door.

Before Jon could react to what was happening, he felt himself being pulled up.

Heo sliced ​​through the body of one of the charging figures with a single sword strike, then grabbed Jon and ran outside.

This monster seems to be more interested in things 'inside the door' and will prioritize attacking people coming out of the door.

But if no one comes out of the door, it will chase after the person outside.

As Heo led Yorn out, the monster clung to the wall and quickly gave chase.

This monster seems to have already 'eaten' quite a few people, and its strength is close to D-rank.

However, He could still easily kill the monster, but there was no need; the monster was still useful.

“The room near the elevator is rented by gang members.”

Yorn didn't dare to look back at the monster at all. His legs were trembling and his hands and feet were weak. He was practically being dragged along by Heo.

He thought that seeing Heo use tweezers to remove bullets was already beyond his comprehension, but he never expected to have the chance to see such a monstrous creature today.

It's understandable that a friend might have a hidden identity, since novels often feature characters who appear to be apprentices but are actually ruthless killers.

Whenever Jon sees stories like "The Apprentice and Thirty-Six School Beauties," "The Apprentice's Beautiful Landlady," or "I'm an Apprentice on the surface, but actually a Night Assassin, and I Became the Hottest Male Host in Dawn City," he always clicks in to criticize them.

But what's with this monster? Does this make sense?

Yorn felt that either the world or he himself had gone mad.

Just as Heo was dragging Jon to the elevator, the door of the room next to the elevator suddenly opened, and several men with large tattoos on their arms rushed out, pointing guns at Heo.

“Nell, hand over what you took, and we might leave you with a whole corpse.”

Actually, they saw He Ao when he came up in the elevator, but they couldn't confirm his identity. They only rushed out when they learned that He Ao was pulling Yorn over.

As for the noise in the hallway, they didn't care, nor did they want to care.

But they soon realized that they should have paid attention to what was going on in the hallway.

He tilted his head to the side, gesturing for them to look behind him.

As they looked in the direction He Ao indicated, a jumble of heads, twisted and piled up like a flowerbed, were reflected in their pupils. These heads rapidly magnified and suddenly engulfed them.

Taking advantage of the moment when the monster attacked the gang members, Yorn mustered his last bit of strength, sprinted forward, and pressed the button to turn on the elevator.

As long as we hide inside the elevator, this monster won't be able to catch us.

Just when he thought this.

He felt a tremendous force pulling him toward the fire escape, where a dark, deep staircase appeared before him.
