City of Fear, Four Rings.

Busy.

Xu Taiping is not familiar with this place, because it is winter, many of the roads he used to know have been flooded by wind and snow, there is no urban management here, there are no sanitation workers, so there is no one to shovel snow, some roads are flooded by wind and snow, and they become higher than houses, everyone only sweeps the snow in front of their own homes, as for the side, let him die.

Xu Taiping, Michaelella, and Cavendish walked for about half an hour on the Fourth Ring Road, and after that, Xu Taiping stopped, looked left and right, and then said, "Compared with when I left, this place has changed a lot, and I almost didn't recognize it." ”

"Who are you looking for?" Cavendish asked.

"Find an uncle. Xu Taiping said and walked into a small road next to him.

After walking less than ten meters, the path ends at the end, and on the left side of the path is a closed shop.

There is a lantern in front of the shop, and the lantern has a word written on it, big.

Looking further up, there is a sign on the shop with three words written on it.

"Big bar. ”

"There's even a bar here?!" Cavendish said in surprise.

Xu Taiping stood at the door, stretched out his hand and took off the human skin mask on his face.

"What are you doing?" asked Cavendish .

"When you see a friend, you shouldn't take this thing with you. Xu Taiping said, reaching out to open the sliding door in front of him.

It's an old sliding door, and when it opens, it's still a little unsmooth, making a clicking sound.

A warm breeze blew out from behind the door, and with this gust of warm air, the wind chimes hanging on the door made a pleasant sound.

Xu Taiping walked in with his feet raised, and then Michael and Cavendish also walked in.

What appeared in front of everyone was a small bar of less than 30 square meters.

The bar was dimly lit.

Although it was afternoon, there were still a few people drinking in the bar.

There is a TV hanging on the wall of the bar, and a ball game is being played on the TV.

"It's no different when you come with me. Xu Taiping said with emotion.

"You... Familiar with this place?" asked Michaelella.

"Very familiar. Xu Taiping smiled, walked forward, walked to the position of the bar, and then sat on the high chair.

"How dare you call it a big bar in such a small place?" Cavendish asked as he walked up to Xu Taiping's side and looked around.

"Because the owner of this bar is called Uncle, this bar is called Big Bar. Xu Taiping explained, and then, Xu Taiping reached out and pressed a bell on the bar.

Bell bell bell!

There was a crunch.

With this crunch, a bloated body stepped out of the door next to the bar.

"What do you want to drink?" Before the bloated body reached Xu Taiping, a voice came.

Xu Taiping looked at the person who spoke.

The man was about fifty or sixty years old, bloated, fat, with a black beard under his nose and a white chef's hat on his head, which was actually very odd to look at.

"Uncle!" Xu Taiping shouted with a smile.

"Huh?" the man stopped and looked at Xu Taiping suspiciously.

At this glance, the man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's you kid!!" The man walked out of the bar at a speed that didn't match his stature at all, and then went straight for Xu Taiping.

Cavendish glanced at the man and saw that he didn't have any badges on his chest.

This is a bit weird, there is no badge, he can only be a living person, but this man is obviously an old man in the city of fear, how can he not hang a badge?

"It's me!" Xu Taiping stood up from the high chair and spread his arms.

The man called Uncle also opened his arms, and then the two men embraced.

"It's really you, I didn't expect you to come back, it's been many years!" the uncle said with emotion.

"Come back and do something. Xu Taiping said.

"Hey, why don't you come back a few days earlier, if you come back a few days earlier, you will be able to meet that guy who blows snow, and that guy will not challenge the ghost king, and he will not die!" the uncle said with annoyance.

"How could he be idle to challenge the Ghost King?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Not for you!" said the uncle.

"For me?" Xu Taiping was stunned and asked, "For me?"

"Do you remember that many years ago, you were broken by a ghost general and threw out the three rings?" the uncle asked.

"I remember, since then, I've left the City of Fear. Xu Taiping said.

"The person who broke your leg is the current Ghost King. Uncle said.

"What?!" Xu Taiping looked at the uncle in shock and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that person is the seventeenth ghost general, the bottom of all the ghost generals, right?"

"That's right, it's the seventeenth ghost general, that person doesn't know why, he suddenly became very powerful a few years ago, and then directly killed the original ghost king, and killed the other ghost generals, you know the person who blows the snow, he has few friends, and you, I, are his only two friends, that guy has always remembered that you were broken legs, so he has been practicing in the city of fear, and later entered the third ring, the second ring, and became the strongest killer, the last few days are the day of the re-election of the ghost king, so he went to challenge the ghost king, that person, the brain is really bad, how can he be the opponent of the ghost king, so, he was killed by the ghost king, hey"Uncle sighed.

Xu Taiping was silent, he didn't expect that the friend he hadn't seen for many years would die because of him, before Xu Taiping just felt that it was a pity that Blowing Snow died, but now, Xu Taiping was very sad, because Blowing Snow died because of him.

"But this is also his life, in the city of fear, life and death are fate, even if he doesn't die this time, he may die in the future, anyway, he will die, with his character. Uncle said.

"Hey!" Xu Taiping sighed.

"Sit down, I'll go in and get you some wine, is it the same wine you used to drink?" asked the uncle.

"Hmm!" Xu Taiping nodded.

"Are these two your friends?" the uncle asked.

"Yes. Give them a cup too. Xu Taiping said.

"Okay!" the uncle nodded, then walked into the bar, picked up a green bottle, poured three cups, and placed them in front of Xu Taiping and the three of them.

"What kind of wine is this?" Cavendish asked curiously.

"This is the uncle's own wine, and the taste may be a little rushed at first, but after drinking it, the aftertaste is still very good. Xu Taiping said, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Cavendish took a sip of his glass, but immediately spit the wine into his glass.

"It tastes so weird! I can't drink it!" Cavendish shook his head and placed the cup on the table.

"I don't drink. Michael said.

"That's a pity. Xu Taiping picked up Michaliella's glass of wine and poured it into his cup, then looked at the uncle and said, "I've been gone for nine years, right?"

"Well, almost, I remember hearing you say back then, you were a fledgling, and you were much younger than you are now. Uncle said.

"Time flies. Xu Taiping sighed and said, "The blowing snow back then was the same as me, he was also a stunned youth, but I didn't expect that after so many years, he was still stunned." ”

"Hey!" the uncle sighed, a little embarrassed, and then said, "But, Xiao Xu, don't try to find the ghost king for revenge, you are not the opponent of the ghost king, and now this ghost king is more powerful than the previous ghost king." ”

Xu Taiping shook his head and didn't say anything more.

"You don't really want to avenge Fuyuki, do you?" the uncle asked.

"Don't underestimate the man in front of you, he's very powerful!" Cavendish said.

"No matter how powerful you are, can you be as powerful as the Ghost King?" the uncle shook his head.

At that moment, the bar was suddenly pushed open, and five people walked in through the door.

"Uncle, serve wine, old rules. The leader shouted loudly.

The man's voice was really a little loud, and many of the people who were drinking with their heads down looked up at the man, and after seeing the satanic badge on the man's chest, everyone lowered their heads again.

This is a ghost soldier! Very strong.

Each of the four people on this person's side wears a demon badge!

These four people are all ghost pawns, and their strength is also medium in the City of Fear.

"You haven't paid for the wine last time, do you want to drink the overlord wine again this time?" said the uncle with a dark face.

"Isn't it that it hasn't opened recently, there are fewer and fewer newcomers here, and the business is not good!" said the ghost soldier who led him as he walked inside, and then saw Xu Taiping and his party.

The ghost soldier was a little surprised, then stared at Xu Taiping for a while, and said, "You... Isn't it many years ago, that little Xu who was going to go to the third ring and was thrown out of the third ring on the first day by someone broke his leg?"

"Puppy, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still the same dog as before!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Puppy, hahaha, no one dared to call me a puppy in front of me for many years, and now everyone calls me a hound, it seems that after so many years, you have forgotten how humiliated you were in the city of fear!" said the ghost soldier who was called a puppy by Xu Taiping.

"Humiliation? I don't remember it, but I remember that on the first day you came to the City of Fear, the that was blown by the snow flew out, and I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life,, real. Xu Taiping shook his head as he spoke.

"Is anyone really going to be beaten out of the?" Cavendish asked curiously.

"Yes, and it's not a fight, it's a fly. Xu Taiping said.

"Very good, Xiao Xu, I haven't seen you for so many years, you haven't seen any other growth, but this ability to speak has grown a lot, so you wear the skull badge, right? Do you think that the current city of fear is different from before? The current city of fear is no longer the city of fear nine years ago, and my hound is not the hound of nine years ago, I am worried that no one has opened recently, I didn't expect God to give me such a big gift... Xiao Xu, you deserve to be unlucky today!" the hound grinned.
