Chapter Two Thousand and Twenty-One: Gathering Strength
2021
Rumble!
Bang bang bang!
boom!
The sound of gunfire suddenly came from downstairs.
"What's going on?" asked Henry, frowning.
One of his men hurried into Henry's room.
"Boss, there's a wave of people coming to us, well-equipped, seemingly a professional team of mercenaries!" said his subordinate.
"Hmph, this must have been arranged by Cavendish, that fellow, must have been eyeing us when we entered the City of Fear, he thought, this will take me down?
"Yes!!"
The four or five rings can't help but heat weapons, so after the battle started, there was the sound of guns everywhere.
At least dozens of people engaged in a fierce shootout in the streets and alleys of the Fifth Ring Road, during which various weapons were used, including rifles, pistols, and even fire sword bullets.
Living in the Fifth Ring Road has long been accustomed to it, they just hide in their homes and look at everything on the streets in a very calm mood.
No one has come out to care about this, in the City of Fear, shootouts are perfectly normal, although today's shootouts seem a little intense, but... Isn't that also a shootout?
At the same time, the second ring.
"Do you hear that?" Cavendish said triumphantly, "I must have already begun to attack Henry." ”
"Your ears are good, but your voice is quiet. Xu Taiping said.
"I've arranged for dozens of people this time, and I've prepared a lot of weapons alone, and I've sent these people and weapons here in advance, so that I can use them for a chance, and this time it would be best if I could kill Henry directly in the City of Fear!" Cavendish said.
"Killing him may not be so easy!" Xu Taiping shook his head, and then walked to the next building.
By this time it was already dark.
Here in the City of Fear, it gets dark very quickly.
Xu Taiping saw that there was a light coming out of a building next to him, so he walked to that building, as for who was in the building, whether they would let them spend the night in the building, this was not something Xu Taiping had to consider.
The other side.
One ring, the Temple of Ghosts.
Ghost General 15 walked to the door, suddenly stopped, and his ears moved slightly.
"There are people in the fourth and fifth rings who are exchanging fire, and the scale is still very large. Ghost General Fifteen said.
"Whatever they are, they're all a swarm of ants. "The eleventh ghost general carried a double-edged giant axe and walked into the Ghost God Temple.
Inside the hall on the first floor of the Ghost God Temple.
All the ghost generals have come here.
Each of these people has its own characteristics, a total of seventeen people, standing there, the aura on their bodies is very fierce.
At the very front of the hall is a huge seat.
The whole seat is made of black iron, and because of the winter, a layer of ice has formed on the entire seat, and it looks like a frost throne.
"Why did you issue a summoning order?" asked Ghost General Fifteen as he walked inside.
"I don't know!" Ghost General Eleven shrugged.
"Could it be that the boss was killed?" asked Ghost General No. 3 with a playful face.
"How could the boss be killed?" said Ghost General Six, shaking his head.
"Why isn't the eighth here?" asked the second ghost general.
"I don't know!" the people around shook their heads.
At that moment, Ghost Eight came out from behind the throne after a man.
The man who was followed by the No. 8 ghost general looked like he was about forty years old, wearing an open-chested gown, a black belt tied around his waist, his hair was relatively long, but tied up and combed into a hairstyle somewhat similar to that of the Ronin Samurai of the Foot Basin Country, and he also had a long knife pinned to his waist, which looked a bit like a Tang knife, and he was wearing a pair of gray cloth shoes at his feet, which looked very thin.
This kind of dress will definitely be regarded as a psychotic when you walk on the street in winter, because this dress is too unwarm, and it is almost the same in summer, but in the city of fear, dozens of degrees below zero, such a dress, ordinary people will freeze to death in a few minutes, but for this man, such a dress is several years.
Hot and cold, for him, there is not much difference.
"Ghost King!"
"Boss of the Ghost King!"
When everyone saw this man, they shouted.
This man is none other than the ghost king of the City of Fear.
The monarch of the entire City of Fear is also the seventeenth ghost general who broke Xu Taiping's leg in the first place.
The Ghost King walked to the throne with a blank face, and then sat down.
Several other ghost generals followed suit and sat down in their seats below the throne.
"Boss of the Ghost King, you issued a summoning order to summon us all back, what's the matter?" asked the third ghost general.
Hachi said. The Ghost King spoke, his voice low.
"I'll tell you. Ghost General No. 8 stood up and said, "As you know, I am in charge of guarding the entrance from the third ring to the second ring, and anyone who can push open the entrance door of the second ring can enter the second ring, and just now, at the entrance of the second ring, a person appeared, and this person pushed open the door and brought two people into the second ring. ”
"What's this, that door, I pushed it open with one hand!" said Ghost General Eleven disdainfully.
"Didn't you hear the point clearly? What No. 8 said is that the person took two people into the second ring, and in order to bring two people into the second ring, that person must open the door that is sixteen times more difficult to open, am I right?" said the fifteenth ghost general.
"That's right, that person did open the door sixteen times the difficulty of opening, and the difficulty of opening that door at that time was more than sixteen times, because it was winter, and the door was frozen in ice, and the difficulty of opening was higher than usual, and on this basis, it was sixteen times more difficult to open, I thought... Even if it's the Ghost King's boss, there's no way to open it, right?" said Eight.
"I, I can open it. The Ghost King said.
"Then I suppose that no one else present can open it except for Lord Oni, right?" said the eighth ghost general.
"I open up to four times. Ghost General Eleven said.
"Sixteen times, that's not something that ordinary people can open at all, and it is estimated that in the entire City of Fear, only the boss can open it. Ghost General No. 3 said.
"Could it be that the door is broken?" asked the fifteenth ghost general.
"The door wasn't broken, I tried it myself, and, after he opened it, something shocked me even more. He... With one hand, he held up the door... Although it is the most difficult to open the door, it is definitely much more difficult to hold the door with one hand than to open the door with two hands, and this new person who has entered the second ring is definitely a master!!" Ghost General No. 8 said with a serious face.
"Is that person with a man and a woman?" asked the third ghost general suddenly.
"Yes, you've seen them?" asked Ghost General Eight.
"Yes, in the ghost hunting grounds. Number Three said.
"Ghost Hunting Ground?Sure enough, I'm right!" the eighth ghost general said solemnly, "That person should be here for the Ghost King!!"
"For the sake of the Oni King?"
Everyone present looked at the ghost king.
The Ghost King is the king of the entire City of Fear, he formulates and controls the rules of the entire City of Fear, and the Ghost King also occupies the ninth underground floor of the Ghost King, where the ghosts are most active, and there will be ghosts almost all the time every night, so in the ninth underground layer, the progress of strength is very terrifying.
This is also an important reason why some people want to be the king of ghosts.
All ghost generals are attached to the ghost king, they are subordinates, but also a community of interests, the ghosts in the ghost temple are the most, each ghost will be able to get huge benefits at their own level, they advance and retreat together, maintaining the status of the ghost king in the city of fear, and once the ghost king is defeated, the new ghost king takes his place, then they may be deprived of the identity of the ghost general, become an ordinary ghost soldier, and then there will be some powerful people to become new ghost generals, and live in the ghost temple.
This is something that no ghost general will allow.
Therefore, the enemy of the ghost king, in fact, is the enemy of all the ghost generals.
There were several challengers to the ghost king before, the strength was not very strong, and the strongest was the first killer of the second ring, that person almost killed the ghost king, but unfortunately, he was killed by the ghost king in the end, and all the ghost generals were shocked into a cold sweat at that time, and now, there is a person who can open the door to sixteen times the difficulty of opening, this person, will it also threaten the status of the ghost king?
"I think you all understand the meaning of the Ghost King's summoning order, right? The appearance of such a character is completely beyond our control, if he loses to the Ghost King tomorrow, then it's okay, what if he defeats the Ghost King?" asked the eighth ghost general with a serious face.
"I can't let him defeat the Oni King. Ghost General Eleven said loudly.
"We must not let him become the new Ghost King!" said the fifteenth ghost general.
"Lord Ghost King, do you have any plans?" asked the Ghost General No. 8, looking at the Ghost King.
"The other party can open the door sixteen times more difficult to open, and the strength is definitely above you, and you told me before, No. Seven suddenly went crazy, but, in front of that person, that person just scolded him, and scared No. Seven away, we all know that No. Seven is crazy, sometimes even I don't necessarily listen to what I say, No. Seven's perception of danger is far more than you and me, and the person who can scare him away with a word is absolutely, a super master. The Ghost King said.
Everyone present nodded, agreeing with the Ghost King's words.
"Actually, I don't mind having a good fight tomorrow because I won't lose. The Ghost King said.
"Lord Ghost King, you can't fight a battle that you are not sure of!" someone immediately said.
"I know you're not going to let me do that, but let you kill each other, if the other party has my strength, do you think you can beat him?" said the Ghost King.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and they didn't dare to say that they could win.
"So, the best way is for you to follow me tonight, find that person, gather all the strength of all of us, and kill him directly. The Ghost King said coldly.
"Yes!"
"Agreed!" said the crowd.
