Infinite flow is not like that at all!

Chapter 52, the second taboo!

"I told you to stop hitting him, are you deaf?"

Shen Ye's voice, though delivered without the amplification of a loudspeaker, still left everyone present stunned!

The First Taboo was completely bewildered; it sensed the threat emanating from the blade, but that wasn't the main point...

It stared intently ahead at the two forbidden colleagues who appeared behind Shen Ye.

"Why...?"

"We must help outsiders..."

The faceless man spoke in a hoarse voice: "This is a deal..."

The First Taboo's eyes flickered; it was aware of the other party's limitations.

"And what about you...?"

Tomieko pointed to her abdomen and then to Shen Ye.

The First Taboo's expression changed, and his gaze towards Shen Ye shifted, showing a mixture of shock and admiration.

You're amazing.

"Although you seem to have misunderstood something, that's not the point."

"in addition."

"Don't even think about taking action right now."

Shen Ye looked at...those ten people.

"Why..." One of the young men, suppressing his impulse, seemed to be the leader of the group, and said in a deep voice:

"All the clues on Night of the Dead point on it."

"And if we kill it, we can leave this city..."

Everyone looked at Shen Ye, wanting to make a move, but the presence of two terrifying taboo figures beside him prevented them from doing so.

"We've been stuck here for a long time..."

"Too many people have died... Now that the opportunity is in front of us, why should we be stopped?"

Shen Ye said, "The idea is fine, but... you've chosen the wrong target."

"How is that possible?"

The young man frowned: "Some of those clues... are from that book."

"What about the remaining clues?"

Shen Ye smiled.

The young man remained silent. The remaining clues... didn't quite match up, but since they were half related, it was already considered a certainty.

"Besides it...or rather, besides them, there's no other possibility..."

The three taboos are the most dangerous entities in this city, and also the most likely to be connected to the clues.

"Excuse me."

Shen Ye: "There's another one in this city..."

"It's been right under your noses all along, yet you've never noticed..."

He paused. "The fourth taboo."

.......

Twenty minutes later.

Shen Ye appeared alone in the [Anling Sanatorium], the safe zone where everyone had been staying.

Pushing open the gate, dim light filled the courtyard.

Shen Ye's gaze also fell on the statue in the safe zone.

This statue... is the legendary statue of King Anling, and almost every outsider knows it, except for myself.

This city is also called Anling City. Judging from various sources, it should be a world that worships this being. The image of King Anling can be seen everywhere, including in that book.

It is like the God of this city, a faith.

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.

"Should we call him...the actor who plays the role of the King Anling statue?"

"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, for the murderer had finally been eliminated."

"Just at this moment."

"The man who was supposed to have died 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 disappeared 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 bestselling 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..."

It did not become angry or embarrassed after being discovered.

"As the fourth taboo, my strengths lie in illusion and disguise."

The aged voice was calm yet hoarse:

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

"And the concealment of Street 34... 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 image: "You're the first..."

"Too..."

Its voice was terrifying, echoing through the sanatorium with a chilling murmur: "The last one."

next moment.

Shen Ye sensed that the entire area of ​​the sanatorium had changed, with a large number of 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 does that mean?
