Chapter 365: The City of Silence
Has anyone ever listened to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves?
That noisy yet quiet sound.
The night city is quiet but not silent.
Walking through the alleys of the city, you can't hear the wailing of the wind passing through the glacier outside the city, and even the rats that used to walk slowly and roam in the night have all disappeared.
Occasionally, one or two figures came into view, and they disappeared quickly without making a sound.
This area, or rather the area that she has not walked through, is quiet and uninhabited, and only the rustle of the wind blowing and falling leaves accompanies her.
Wei Yu frowned, her heartstrings tightened, couldn't it be that the people of Xingchen Pavilion used some means to clear the scene, planning to leave her and her senior brother here permanently?
But what is the use of killing them?
The sect's plan will not stop because of the absence of the two of them, but will be provoked, and the old hatred will add to the new hatred.
And it was so quiet, as if no one had ever lived here, and the figures that passed away were blurry and couldn't see their faces.
That black silhouette was so fast that she couldn't even catch up.
Emptiness is the only impression of this city at night.
But during the day, Wei Yu obviously saw countless people shuttling in and out of this city, climbing the city wall and leaving the city wall, and so on.
Oh yes! Walls——!
Startled by the thought, Wei Yu suddenly found that he had been hanging in the city for so long and had not even approached the city wall, as if some unknown force had made him vaguely ignore it.
Wei Fei immediately turned around and walked towards the city wall, which was a strong place for defense, and there must have been people at all times.
If there's no one there, then ......
Turning away, she felt as if she had forgotten something, as if something obvious or conspicuous had been forgotten by herself.
But it was with such a turn that the impression of the city walls continued to fade in my mind.
Wei Yu had to keep reminding herself in her heart, and at the same time hurry up and head towards the city wall.
Leave that fleeting doubt behind you.
As the walls approached, even that trace of doubt disappeared.
Wei Yu looked at the city wall from afar, the bluestone city wall outlined the rough lines, and the lines turned sharp and sharp like a sword, exuding a chill.
As far as she knew, the Night City was a true city of ice.
Its foundation was a pale land carved out of the desert by the Yongqing Dao Monarch with great mana.
Most of the important buildings in the city were forged by that Dao Monarch with cold ice and then reconstructed on ice crystals.
In this way, there is nothing wrong with the cold of the wall.
Thinking so, she still felt a kind of uneasiness, unlike before, the uneasiness now came more from a premonition of death.
The city was so quiet that it looked like it was dead.
She stopped at a considerable distance from the city walls, which were also quiet.
At least with her Jindan monk's eyesight, she didn't see any traces of the monk's movement, and on the city wall - no one!
Wei Fei was very sure of her judgment.
But she lifted her steps again and headed towards the wall, forced forward by a sense of urgency.
She needs to do something, or she'll die here!
This is the premonition of the future.
Wei Fei felt that the lurker in this quiet city was a powerful predator, and now the predator who did not know where he was set his eyes on her.
The horror of dying has been impacting the heartstrings of Wei Yu, and the strings are getting tighter and tighter, but Wei Yu has not found that the impression of the city wall that has been fading before is no longer diluted and forgotten at this time, but exudes a strong sense of existence, and the incomparably tempting drive her to lure her towards the city wall.
The sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves was clear, and it was the only sound in the entire Night City.
At the moment when she was about to step on the city wall, she suddenly remembered a place that violated the peace.
She came to the city with her senior brother, and they also went up to this city wall together, so they should also keep in touch with the night detectives.
And in this quiet city, her senior brother, Weiliang, did not make a sound from beginning to end.
And how did she get to this place?
Shouldn't she still stay on the city wall with her senior brother, facing that flamboyant Taoist boy of Yongqing Daojun?
Night Detective?
Her personality is not suitable for probing news, and the senior brother also said that this trip is not suitable for acting alone, so they should not be separated, right?
The night of fighting with the demons has been long, but it shouldn't come so quickly...
……
A lot of thoughts went through her mind in an instant.
But the foot she lifted eventually landed gently on the stone steps of the wall.
Mouth bang——!
In an instant, she knew where the threat that surrounded her was coming from.
Outside the city walls, a bloodthirsty greedy gaze was firmly fixed on her body, full of predatory desire and tyrannical pleasure.
It's—magic!
Escape ——!
Wei Yu's reaction was not unpleasant, almost the moment her feet hit the ground, she pulled out and fled, intending to escape.
But if she wants to escape, will the demons outside the walls allow it?
Wei Fei had no choice but to feel helpless and desperate as her body was pulled by silk threads like a marionette towards the glacier outside the city.
She resisted the power that manipulated her, but like a mantis arm blocking a car, she couldn't shake it, she couldn't stop it.
I can only watch 'myself' walk into the mouth of death.
This is a dark shadow out of the corner of the eye.
The black silhouette was the same as the figure looming around Wei Yu before, and it couldn't see the features of the facial features clearly, so it just beckoned to her.
She felt as if she could move, so she didn't hesitate to run in the opposite direction of the pull, widening the distance between the two sides again.
I didn't think it was chaotic before, but now I think that the black silhouette is leading her somewhere.
And that place ......
The unwrinkled ones tightened, and the names that were very familiar were swirling on the tip of their tongues, but they couldn't remember the place and the name of that place.
What is the opposite direction of this section of the wall?
The wall was built around the city, and the opposite of it was another broken wall?
No, it's not.
Although the monster has no brains, and the monsters are not sober, the demons are quite cunning.
The wall opposite this wall is never a safe place!
The city wall surrounds the city, and what is the center of the city ......?
Be......
Be...... The central building of the city is a mansion......
The central mansion of a city, its name is - the Lord's Mansion!
City-Lord-House!
Together, these three words pierced the night like a thunderbolt and illuminated the eyes of the concubine.
The City Lord's Mansion, the center of a city, was also the place where she and her senior brother settled in the City of Nights, and she didn't even think about it until death was imminent.
Since she found out that her senior brother was missing, she never thought of returning to the place where they settled to look for it, or looking for Heguang who was sitting in the City Lord's Mansion to question one or two?
If you want to say that there is nothing greasy in this, she doesn't believe it!
This thunder pierced the quiet night and illuminated the eyes of the concubine, and also made her see the appearance of the black silhouette clearly.
The black silhouette that disappears from time to time, where is a stranger who doesn't know anything at all, and that face is clearly the flamboyant little Taoist boy on the city wall!
At the same time, she also remembered that she should clearly be on the city wall with her senior brother to deal with this guy named Yuan Mo to see if she could come up with any useful news.
How did you come to the night city in the night?
What did you post in between?
Looking at that grinning face, the vigilance in Weiyu's heart suddenly rose to the maximum.
She was a little resistant to go to the City Lord's Mansion, although the city wall was dangerous, but the City Lord's Mansion was not necessarily safe, maybe this was a trap set by the Star Pavilion?
"Why are you here?" he opened his mouth, but found that there was no sound in his ears except the rustling of the wind blowing the leaves.
Her voice was gone.
'Yuan Mo' pointed to his ears and waved his hand and floated forward, like a paper kite rising with the wind, without answering a word.
In this strange city, Wei Yu gritted her teeth and decided to keep up with Yuan Mo's silhouette.
No matter how bad it is, there is nothing worse than being eaten by demons.
At least in the face of the monks of the Star Pavilion, she still has a glimmer of life, and if she is the worst, she can also choose to be dismissed......
