Shen Ye walked towards the sculpture in front of him.

The sculpture, holding books and a scepter, is very imposing, even though it is just a statue devoid of any life force.

But Shen Ye smiled and extended his hand:

"good evening."

"What should I call you?"

Despite the lack of response, Shen Ye's mutterings continued to echo at the entrance of the sanatorium.

"Is...should we call him the actor portraying the statue of King Anling?"

"Or should I say..."

"Nobody knows about this city."

He paused: "The fourth taboo."

This moment.

The sculpture remained motionless, but Shen Ye saw his death line growing ever more intense, though his expression did not change.

He took out a book: "A Night of Blizzards".

"It tells a very interesting story. A lot of people gathered at the villa to attend a party, but a murder occurred. The man who organized the party was found dead in the villa."

"Then a series of deaths continued to occur, but the blizzard grew stronger and stronger, and no one was able to escape. They began to suspect each other of being the killer."

"Finally... when only two people were left, they began to kill each other."

"After a difficult kill, the last man, though on the verge of death, smiled because the murderer had finally been eliminated."

"Just at this moment."

"The man who was dead at the beginning suddenly pushed open the door and appeared... The story ends."

Shen Ye closed the book.

"This man... from the moment the case occurred, he vanished from the readers' sight, ceased to exist, and had been disguising himself, hiding himself, secretly providing clues to everyone, listening to everyone's voice, and leaving weapons for infighting..."

"A person who does not exist."

He paused, then looked at the sculpture: "Just like you."

He finished speaking.

The sculpture remains unchanged.

But around...

However, a large number of dead lines began to appear, and the entire Anling Sanatorium became gloomy.

Let's look back.

The statue seemed different from before; its once majestic aura had become somewhat cold and eerie.

Shen Ye ignored the other party's change and continued:

"Everyone leaves a trace, just like Tomieko, No-Face, and the First Taboo. They were all famous figures in this city, idols, entrepreneurs, and best-selling authors."

"You can see reports all over the city about their gruesome deaths and dismemberment."

"But... none of the outsiders here know that there are a total of four cases."

He said softly:

Shen Ye smiled as he looked at the sculpture: "Three of them have become taboo, and there's one more... I don't think there can be any exception, right?"

He picked up a piece of paper.

This is an old version of the official report that was taken from under the moss on 34th Street. It pauses slightly to reveal the content of the tragic death of Mayor Hengjie of Anling City, with his limbs cut off.

Am I right?

"Mayor of Anling City..."

The sculpture slowly peeled away, revealing the face of the person inside: an old man without arms or legs appeared in Shen Ye's sight.

His flesh and blood seemed to be rotting, yet he exuded a terrifying aura through a strange power.

"you..."

The voice was hoarse and aged: "Very good..."

After being discovered, it did not become enraged, but calmly hissed:

“I have been in the form of a statue for a long time.”

The aged voice was calm yet hoarse:

"Because the forbidden power keeps terror away, turning it into a statue, making it a safe zone for outsiders, I know everything they do."

"And the fact that Street 34 was hidden... was also my doing."

"Although the clues here are all real due to the rules, but..."

"Yet no one doubted a statue, a person who never existed."

It slowly raised its head, its eyes reflecting Shen Ye's figure: "You're the first of this group..."

"Of course..."

Its voice was terrifying, echoing through the sanatorium and sending chills down one's spine: "The last one."

next moment.

Shen Ye sensed that the entire sanatorium had changed, with numerous terrifying illusions appearing!

Densely packed, one after another!

The entire sanatorium was instantly filled with murderous intent!

Although it was an illusion, or even a terrifying death, Shen Ye still saw the presence of the clown.

But each one still carries the same aura as when they were alive.

Original origin...

Shen Ye witnessed this scene.

The opponent's ability is illusion; every Anling Coin invested here is a source of its power.

It had hoped to see fear and dread on Shen Ye's face, after all, it had stood here and seen too many outsiders show despair when they faced death.

but.

Shen Ye paused for a moment:

"I agree with the first one you mentioned, but the last one..."

He flashed a harmless smile.

"That's not right."

?

What do you mean?

Chapter 51 Justice! Against the mob!

At this moment.

The old mayor raised his head.

It heard some noises outside.

"I see..."

"Although you're a newcomer, it seems you've managed to persuade the others..."

"but..."

It gave a sinister laugh: "So what?"

"I've been here for a long time."

"I understand everyone's strengths and abilities..."

"Although it's a bit troublesome, I don't mind killing everyone."

It has indeed been inactive for a long time, and wouldn't mind wiping out everyone again, while waiting for new outsiders to fill the sanatorium in batches.

"That's quite a killing machine." Shen Ye gave the old mayor a thumbs up.

"But before that, let me introduce myself to you."

"Now..."

Shen Ye had also picked up the megaphone without anyone noticing.

The sound echoed throughout the entire sanatorium.

"A procession of outsiders is marching towards you!"

And the next moment.

"Oh!"

The gates of the sanatorium were suddenly smashed open.

All the outsiders... had already appeared densely at the entrance.

"They've arrived..." The old mayor's expression remained unchanged, showing no surprise whatsoever, only a sinister smile.

The old mayor... stared intently at the outside of the sanatorium with his bloodshot, cloudy eyes.

It is about to take action.

"Next, welcome... the second contingent led by Ms. Tomieko, one of the taboos!"

Black hair suddenly eroded the outer wall, and amidst the dust of the collapsing building, Tomieko appeared in the old mayor's sight, followed by a large number of terrifying figures.

The old mayor's face darkened, but he hadn't had a chance to speak yet.

"And Faceless's third team has also arrived!"
