my comic life

001The apartment I inherited is alive

United States, New York.

It's late at night, almost twelve o'clock.Hell's Kitchen is rarely visited, and there aren't many lights on the surrounding buildings.

Compared with other parts of New York, where the lights are bright and the city never sleeps, it is really different.

There's nothing you can do about it, the security in Hell's Kitchen is not good, gangsters come out at night, and it's common to be stolen and raped. If you're lucky, you can encounter Snake and Shield, which "cuts off one head and grows two more".

Among the darkened buildings, a three-story old building stood out from the crowd. The lights were on on the first floor.

There is a signboard for "Apartment Antique Shop" hanging on the second floor. It is an antique shop that also operates apartments.

In the store, the young Chinese Luo Xia was immersed in his desk, comparing several pages of Chinese manuscripts and writing furiously.

I saw scrawled and crooked English writing on the yellowed diary:

"My name is Rorschach, and I will be dead when you read this sentence.

This is not a scary game. If I were still alive, I would definitely burn this diary.

So please calm down and take a closer look at my diary.

I guess you also noticed something unusual about the apartment. I happen to know a little bit about the apartment.

This apartment was built by my great-uncle and ended up being inherited by me for a series of reasons.

I found several pages of manuscripts left by my uncle in the apartment. They were probably memoranda written by him when his memory failed in his later years.

For reasons of confidentiality, several pages of the manuscript were specifically written in Chinese, still in classical Chinese.

I know that there are very few people learning Chinese in the United States, and even fewer who can understand classical Chinese.

That's why I wrote this diary.

This apartment is alive!

Not kidding, but literally.

It's not an apartment for living people at all, it's an apartment for hell!

Pulling out the map of Hell's Kitchen, the apartment is right in the center of the map.I even suspect that Hell's Kitchen's notoriety is entirely due to this apartment.

Sixty years ago, demon kings from other dimensions invaded the human world. My uncle teamed up with a group of seniors to defeat it.

The devil's soul escaped, but his body was sealed. It was later transformed into this three-story apartment by my uncle.

In addition, the Demon King's heart was ripped out of his body and taken away by the seniors.

The two were sealed separately and have been living in peace.

As the body of the Demon King, the apartment has the special pressure of a superior person. It is used by uncles and uncles to house some antiques with strange and weird effects, as well as to imprison some unkillable ghosts and beings from other dimensions.

The first floor is a self-operated antique shop. Most of them are normal, and only a small part is low-risk.

The really high-risk items, even living antiques, are in the storage warehouse on the underground floor.

All the changes came from my cousin who was temporarily looking after the antique shop. Maybe he didn't know the origin of the apartment, maybe he didn't know what the devil's heart looked like.

He recycled the Demon King's heart as an antique with a low risk factor.

The heart inside the body produced a strange reaction, causing the devil's servants to appear from the shadow every night starting at twelve o'clock.

The shadow servant attempts to take away the Demon King's heart and send it to the body center on the third floor of the apartment.

Once it succeeds and the two forces merge, real intelligence may be born in the Hell Apartment!

Integrate the antiques on the first floor and the underground floor, and then release the "tenants" imprisoned on the second underground floor...

By then, I'm afraid there will be nothing we can do even if Captain America is reborn.

I don't know if you still have the courage to make a last ditch effort when you see this, and if you still have the courage to find a way out.

Please remember.

There is hope in life.

I have a plan to send the heart to the third underground floor, which is the farthest place from the third floor of the body center. It is also the place where the seal left by my uncle and those seniors is strongest.

If the plan succeeds, even if I die, the situation in the apartment will not deteriorate as I expected.

Late comers, please remember!

Darkness will not stop because of our compromise, nor will it stop persecuting because of our giving up resistance.

Therefore,

Keep fighting and never compromise. "

I glanced at the computer screen on my desk and checked the time. It happened to be twelve o'clock in the evening.

After filling in the final date and time, Rorschach put down the pen in his hand and closed the diary.The thumb and index finger of his right hand rotated the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, staring at the yin and yang fish embellished with the ring without saying a word.

How could things become like this?

When I was young, I heard from my father that my uncle went to sea to do business. Later, some people from the village came back and said that my uncle was unfortunately shipwrecked by a tsunami. His life and death were unknown, and everyone in the family thought he was dead.

When he was in elementary school, his parents died in an accident and he was sent to an orphanage.

After finishing my studies, I came out into society and stumbled around for several years without achieving much. I thought this would be the end of my life.

Unexpectedly, suddenly one day, a group of American lawyers came across the ocean and found Luo Xia, who was working there, and asked him to inherit some of his uncle's inheritance in the United States.

Those inheritances were enough to give ordinary people economic freedom, so Rorschach followed these lawyers across the ocean to the United States.

Humph, I didn’t expect to run into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

After several twists and turns, the inheritance was successfully inherited, but if the changes in the apartment cannot be dealt with, it is unknown how many people will die as a result.

How can the joy of economic freedom and traveling around the world be compared with the crisis of life and death?

What's even more outrageous is that as a time traveler, Rorschach didn't discover Goldfinger. How could he, an ordinary person, fight against those mysterious creatures?

asshole!

The Chinese-English translation ring found in the apartment can solve the problem of Chinese and English language.Are the servant creatures of the Demon King afraid of the salt circle?

"boom!"

Hearing the sound, Rorschach immediately stood up. He saw fragments of an antique vase on the ground in front of him, and pulled out a silver cross dagger from the desk drawer.

"No need to look for it, it's not on the shelf!"

The dagger was pointed directly at the place where the vase fell. Rorschach said bluntly with a tight face.

No show?

Rorschach opened another drawer with his left hand and took out a small black ball, about the size of a bowling ball, just big enough to hold with one hand.

"The devil's heart is with me."

After looking around, Luo Xia suppressed his heart that was about to jump out and said coldly.

The cold wind came towards the face, and a dark shadow appeared. He was tall and thin, with long hands and pointed nails. He looked a bit human-like, but more like a "ghost".

It is composed entirely of shadows and is a slave creature of the Demon King. It was named "Slender Ghost" by Rorschach.

The baring of teeth and claws was quite scary, but the lanky ghost figure stayed outside the salt circle.

There is a large amount of food, water, gasoline and salt in the material warehouse on the underground floor. Needless to say, food and water, gasoline is prepared for the generator. As for why the salt is as big as a rice bag, Rorschach is suspicious. There are other uses.

In American TV series, salt has the effect of exorcism, and silver weapons have a restraining effect on some dark creatures...

effective!

Luo Xia's tense face finally showed a hint of smile, followed by excitement,

"I can't come in, do you need my help?"

He kicked the chair over and pressed it squarely against the salt circle. The closed salt circle left an entrance for the slender ghost.

The cold wind hit again, and Rorschach immediately threw the devil's heart behind him. While avoiding it, he slashed the slender ghost figure with his dagger.

The moment he rolled and left the range of the salt circle, his free left hand grabbed the fallen chair and threw it aside. The salt circle formed a closed loop again!

The lanky ghost got the devil's heart, but was trapped in the salt circle.

"idiot!"

Putting away the dagger that had no effect on the lanky ghost, Rorschach took out a water gun from his trouser pocket, aimed at the lanky ghost and pulled the trigger.

Water gun, filled with prepared salt water.

Salt circles are useful, but salt water is not as effective and should be purified rather than diluted.

But, it's okay.

At least the lanky ghost threw the Demon King's heart to the ground in order to block the salt water.

It seems that using salt water cannot eliminate the Slender Ghost, so we will stick to the original plan.

Picking up the Demon King's heart with his left hand and throwing away the useless water gun, Rorschach walked to the clothes rack and put on a gray windbreaker and a gray bowler hat.

With his free hand, he took the lantern that had been placed next to the clothes hanger. Without looking back, Luo Xia walked towards the entrance of the underground floor. He waved his hand and said jokingly: "Bye bye~"
