Chapter 27: A Chaotic Night
As a necromancer, Ryuji no longer has any fear of things like necromancy, ghosts, etc., but he can learn about the necromancers through his necromantic knowledge.
He noticed that the beings who walked in the darkness did not have any specific goal, they were like wandering skeletons in the mass grave of Ryuji, but they were stimulated and crawled out of their own graves.
It's just that the tombs outside Alexandria are mostly civilians, and they don't have the money to mummify themselves and their guards like the emperor, so these corpses don't form some special effects, and they don't produce corresponding intelligence.
This situation made Liu Zhi a little moved, and he even wanted to take these undead into his Hades Palace, but he thought about his plan for a while, and finally shook his head, bypassed the undead who had already made way of the way, and walked in the direction of Alexandria.
As he approached the gate of Alexandria, Ryuji noticed that there were more guards at the gate that had been unguarded at this time, and all the people who entered and exited the gate would be led to a place where they seemed to be probing for something.
After a while, Liu Zhi was also invited here, and he asked with some curiosity, "What is the situation?" β
"Routine inspection every night to prevent the ghosts outside from entering Alexandria, you also saw those dead spirits outside when you came just now, although they don't seem to have any wisdom, but there are a lot of them, what if there are some wise people inside, so every night, when you enter and exit Alexandria, you have to go to the lights here to shine a little."
Saying that, the guards invited Liu Zhi to a lamp, and Liu Zhi noticed that the light was not different, but the lamp was a little interesting, and the lamp was actually made of bronze and made to look like the sun god shooting arrows.
The flames were lit on the tip of the arrow, which Ryuji noticed seemed to rotate on its own as the person moved.
Ryuji stood in the light of the fire for a moment, and then the guard said, "It's okay, you can go in." β
Liu Zhi couldn't help asking, "Is that okay?" β
"Or else." The guard said helplessly, "It's a tradition to go out of the city at night, as long as you don't find out that you are bringing any ghosts into the city, then you can come and go freely." β
It's a tradition to go out of town at night?
Hearing this, Ryuji couldn't help but smile, it seems that there are still some things in Alexandria that others don't know, such as smuggling or the black market.
But Ryuji didn't have that much time to ask about this now, so he nodded to the guard and headed towards the city.
As he walked into the city gate, Ryuji suddenly spotted a team that was planning to leave the city.
The team consisted of a group of four or five men and one woman, and the equipment on their bodies showed that they were going on an expedition.
But it was the woman in the team who caught Ryuji's attention, as if he had seen this woman on the Zeus before.
It's just like, wait, Ryuji noticed the young man walking with the woman, he was carrying a small movable easel on his back in addition to his luggage, and he remembered it all.
The woman seems to be the fiancΓ©e of Carl Charles, who was previously killed by Ryuji on the Zeus, but at the time of Carl's killing, she seemed to be hanging out with a young painter, and it is unknown how they did it.
"Where are they going?" Liu Zhi was a little curious in his heart, he didn't believe that as Carl Charles's husband and wife, the woman would not know about Carl's plan, but after thinking about it, Liu Zhi finally gave up the idea of keeping up, and walked into Alexandria with the death scepter.
Ryuji didn't know that when he entered the city, someone in that team also noticed him, and specifically asked about some of Ryuji's actions on the Zeus, after all, the death staff in Ryuji's hand was too eye-catching.
But Ryuji is already good, he used to use the death staff in the southern swamp plane, and he always let the death staff move behind him.
After returning to Alexandria, Ryuji saw the other side of Alexandria, and during the day he had seen the bustle of the city in the morning and the tranquility of the city at noon, and at night the city had only one term, and that was chaos.
In just a few streets, Liu Zhi saw four or five large-scale slashing incidents, and there was even a fierce-looking warrior who cut from the street to the end of the street.
Although they try their best to control not to involve passers-by, when the chaos starts, who cares if you are innocent or not, what kind of stalls, hitting other people's stores with cars and other things are common, but fortunately, those passers-by are also used to it, and they know how to protect themselves in this chaos.
When chaos hits them, they always find a place to hide themselves at the first opportunity.
In this way, Liu Zhi, who does not have any dodge meaning, is quite dazzling.
When a man who was being chased and killed saw Liu Zhi, his eyes rolled, "Big brother, someone is chasing me, they ......"
Before the man's words were finished, Yanagi's thin stabbing sword had already stabbed in front of his eyeball, if it wasn't for that guy's reaction, plus Yanagi didn't mean to kill, maybe this stab could pick out his left eyeball.
At this time, the people behind also chased after them, and when they saw such a situation, they would not understand what was happening.
In the chaos of the night, it is common to blame the eldest brother for others.
The one who was blamed, if it was not proved at the first time, the people behind it were often cut together with the passers-by who were blamed, although the chaos would become bigger and bigger afterwards, but the one who was cut at the beginning would definitely not escape.
Only those who directly prove their identity and strength in front of them will stop to observe and analyze.
One of the last people to chase and kill stood up, and he looked at Liu Zhi with some uncertainty, "That ......"
"He's yours." Liu Zhi didn't wait for them to finish speaking, and directly lifted his foot and kicked out the guy who wanted to blame him.
Then he picked up the Staff of Death and walked away, not caring at all about the machetes they were carrying.
"How can you be like this, you don't know that if you do that, it will be tantamount to ruining the last bit of hope for that person."
Hearing this voice, Liu Zhi didn't even look back, "Otherwise, why didn't you stand up and say whose boss you are just now, obviously as long as you stand up and say something, do you know that if you do this, it is equivalent to ruining the last hope of that person." β
