Next, Gu Shi's range of activities was fixed on this street. He carefully walked through all the corners of this street and made a detailed observation report on the people on this street.

It was just as he thought. Although the people on this street were generally more agile than those outside, there were still differences between people here.

Gu Shi looked at the distribution map he had just drawn on the notebook. The center of the circle happened to fall on Anthony's house, which meant that the people nearby were the most real.

Gu Shi then thought that Anthony was the first person to speak to him. Maybe it was because he met Anthony that his original semi-ghost state disappeared.

"So the key still lies with Anthony?"

Gu Shi frowned and carefully recalled their contacts during this period, but found nothing unusual.

"Starting tomorrow, just stay in the store more often and take a look."

Previously, Gu Shi had been walking around outside during the day for investigation and had not had the opportunity to fully observe the Anthony family's activities for a day.

The next day, Gu Shi got up early on purpose, preparing to keep the same schedule as Anthony's family, but when he opened the door, a familiar stench immediately entered his nostrils.

Gu Shi's originally confused mind immediately became clear. He looked around vigilantly and finally fixed his eyes on the door to his right.

In order to avoid any misunderstanding, he hesitated for a while, but decided to go down and ask Anthony about the situation.

Although the restaurant has been closed, Anthony's family still maintains their original daily routine. When Gu Shi walked to the first floor, he happened to see Anthony's parents about to go out.

Gu Shi greeted them, "Good morning, are you going out so early?"

Anthony's father explained, "Good morning. I just happened to hear some news. I'm going to go shopping today. If I'm late, the goods will be sold out."

"I see."

After instructing Anthony to stay in the store and look after it, the two of them hurried out.

Seeing this, Gu Shi waved to Anthony, motioning him to come to him.

Anthony sat down next to Gu Shi and asked with some confusion: "Brother Gu Shi, what's the matter?"

Gu Shi said, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you if someone has moved into the room next to mine."

Anthony nodded. "Yes, he just moved in yesterday. You weren't back then. Has Brother Gu Shi met him yet?"

"Not yet. I just vaguely heard some noise next door." Gu Shi made up an excuse and then continued, "Do you know anything about him? After all, we will be roommates in the future, and I want to find out in advance."

Anthony thought for a moment, "Well, to be honest, I don't know Mr. Asher very well. Although I personally invited him here, he is a very taciturn person, and we don't have much communication.

I only know a little about him. Mr. Asher was a soldier who had just retired from the battlefield because he was seriously injured on the front line.

He seems not to be used to the current life yet, and I occasionally feel a frightening aura from Mr. Asher."

"I see."

Gu Shi thought about it carefully. According to Anthony, Asher had been fighting on the front line before, so it was explainable that he had a hint of devil's aura on him. However, he still decided to test this person when he had time.

"Anthony, how did you meet Mr. Asher?"

"I was strolling along the street yesterday when I happened to see Mr. Asher sitting alone on a bench by the street. He looked unhappy, so I went over to him and said a few words to comfort him.

When I knew he had nowhere to go, I tried to invite him, and to my surprise, Mr. Asher quickly agreed.

Gu Shi felt that this was a little hard to believe. Since Asher could become a soldier in Marino City, he should be a native of this city. He should have some family and friends in the city. How could he have nowhere to go?

"Do you know where Mr. Asher is from? Since you met him here, Anthony, could it be that he used to live in this street?"

Anthony denied Gu Shi's guess, "That's not the case. I also asked Mr. Asher if he had any relatives here, but he said he was just looking for a place to hang out and it was his first time here."

People from outside have never had any contact with this place. It will depend on whether he is a normal person.

After so many days of investigation, Gu Shi did not make any discoveries at all. Judging from some clues, if he guessed correctly, Anthony should be the protagonist of this illusion. The closer the person is to him, the more real they are.

As long as Mr. Asher, who suddenly appeared, was a normal person, Gu Shi would be more than half sure of his guess.

Just as the two were talking, footsteps were suddenly heard above the stairs. Gu Shi and Anthony looked up at the same time and saw a tall man with a large burn scar on the left side of his cheek walking down the stairs.

Anthony was the first to speak: "Good morning, Mr. Asher."

Asher nodded silently as a response.

Anthony didn't care about his cold attitude. Instead, he introduced enthusiastically: "This is the roommate who lives next to you. His name is Gu Shi."

Gu Shi gave a friendly smile, "Hello, Mr. Asher."
