Chapter 299: Inside the Outer City

In this world, delicious flesh and blood are the bargaining chips for everything.

There was no need to detour too much, and the moment the smell of blood filled the thirty-five nasal cavities, his spirit was completely confused.

He stared at the piece of meat with some obsession and asked, "What do you mean by opening it?" I...... Can you eat it? ”

Click!

I closed the box in an instant.

The smell was also cut off at that moment, leaving only the remnants of the air, but it gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed, and everything remained only in the fantasies of the hungry. But it's precisely this fantasy that makes it taste even more fascinating. Thirty-five different eyes and green tendons on his face retreated, but his expression was still unfinished, and even a little anxious, "Damn...... This damn world. ”

"Don't be depressed, I'll give it to you if you want to eat. But......" I smiled, fiddling with the meat box in my hand, "but seriously, although your obsession with flesh and blood is completely inconsistent with your identity as a king worm, I still don't want to believe that you follow me because you're hungry." ”

"Heh, what do you think is the reason? In this world, when I meet someone who once killed me, should I leave quietly like a passerby? He asked rhetorically.

That's a real problem, and I've thought about it too.

However, the truth is more complicated than that.

"You're right, after you confessed your identity, I thought about it. So from this, I thought of two guesses. ”

"You say." He looked at me.

"One, as you said, I killed you, that's true, so if you follow me for this reason, you may be ready to take revenge on me? But if that's the reason, then you're lying to me about your appetite. Of course, I don't care, it's just a reason, I don't believe it anyway. Let's talk about the second type, as you said, appetite. But when I think about it, there are some problems with these two possibilities, and they are very consistent. The question is, whether you want to eat me or get revenge, the best way is to do the same thing, right? ”

I'm referring to me disguised myself as a dummy in Black Sand, which attracted a large number of people.

Thirty-five has been here for a long time, and now that he is alive and sound, he must have belonged to a certain force.

He was no match for me when he was alive, and he was no match for him when he died. Unless there are too many people to consume me to death, he really has no other way to kill me, let alone eat my flesh.

But in fact, he just followed me. Even the best announcement time was missed.

"Heh......" he smiled coldly, but didn't give me any response.

So I continued: "You followed me honestly until I found out. Should I say you're patient, or are you stupid when you die? ”

"Zora......" he called out my name, as if to say something to me.

"Huh?"

"Why do I always meet you? Actually, I was very happy when I first heard that you had come to this world, at least, you were killed too! But what I didn't expect was that you who came here would become my trouble again! ”

He said this very strangely.

"Trouble? What you say is very confusing. Let's put aside the things of the other world for the time being. Speaking of this alone, it seems that I just met you, how can I trouble you. ”

"And what are you doing here?" He asked.

"What do you mean, this city?" I smiled helplessly, "Actually, I can't stay in this ghost place for half a day." It's a shame to be here, and I just hope I can find a way out here. ”

"You know you can find a way here?"

"I don't know."

"In that case, don't you think what you just said is like a dream?"

"I don't believe that there is a place in this world where there is no return, and if there is no way here, look elsewhere. But anyway, I have to get out of here, even if it's hell. ”

I explained my intentions and explained everything. But in fact, I still don't know what Thirty-Five is thinking about. Listen to him, as if my presence would spoil his affairs.

What does he want to do?

I was thinking about it, but he suddenly asked me, "If you really want to get out of here, then it's better not to do too much stupid things now." ”

What he said made me care. Flying Library

It seems that he knows the way to get out of here. It's just the second half of these words that makes me very confused, so I directly asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"You're just looking for someone, aren't you?"

"That's right."

"One of them I knew, at that time, she was also ...... in the labyrinth"

I frowned, a little surprised: "Have you ever seen a silent night?" Over here? Where is she now?! ”

"Looks like you don't know what she's going to do yet...... Am I really misunderstood? "But he seemed more surprised than I was.

"It's too much trouble for us to guess each other's riddles like this, why don't you tell each other first?" I motioned for him to speak.

He stared at me for a long time, as if weighing something in his mind, and finally made a decision, responding: "Actually, I don't believe in the words 'there is no return'. But in fact, I don't know how to get out of this world. However, the way to leave this world does exist, but it is not here, but in the city. ”

I didn't understand this, so I asked, "Aren't we in the city?" ”

"Do you think this is the city? Actually, it's just a wall. Beyond this city, there is a world. That world, few people know...... No, or rather, no one in the outer city knows about it except for the lord and the higher-ups. Between the inner city and the outer city, there is a sea of sand, and the entrance to the inner city is heavily guarded, prohibiting all outsiders from entering. As for the reason, I don't know. And what the inner city looks like, I haven't seen it either. It's just that the controller of the outer city, that is, the leader of the largest gang here, is actually arranged by the inner city. There are many secrets hidden in the inner city, including why it is impossible to suppress its appetite outside the inner layer, why it is necessary to kill each other and eat the flesh and blood of the same kind! and, a way out of this world. ”

The inner city?

Thirty-five came up with a strange concept.

But I care more about one thing than the concept itself, "Why do you know?" ”

"Maybe it's luck, I'm lucky."

"How?"

"After you killed me, I came to this world. I was still wandering in the wilderness and then ...... We fought when we encountered a giant serpent, but because of the fact that I was killed by you, I was actually very weak. I was pulled into the mud by a giant snake and met a very strong guy...... He is a snake man and is parasitized by insect venom. It's so powerful that I still can't figure out what kind of power his eyes have. As a king worm, I didn't have the slightest power to fight back. ”

"What a coincidence......"

"What's the coincidence?"

I shook my head and raised my hand to gesture, "It's okay, you go on." What happened after encountering the snake? ”

"He wanted to kill me for meat, but he changed his mind on the spur of the moment. He said I was suitable and met his requirements. He has always needed such a person, who has good strength and the blood of the king worm, and is not easy to be detected by the rest of the infected without bloodshed. Moreover, it requires a strong determination to leave this world. ”

"So, he needs someone like you to do things for him?"

"Hmmm......"

"Do what?" I asked.

"Kill the city lord."

"The master of the biggest gang here? The puppet of the inner city that you just mentioned? ”

"That's right. But there is one condition, which must be met. ”

I continued, "What conditions?" ”

"He didn't tell me everything, he just told me that if I want to leave this world, I have to cooperate. He seemed to be looking for something in that wilderness, hiding underground. It seems that only by completing what he did at that time is the perfect time to kill the castle lord. I've integrated into the high-level of the City Lord's gang, and killing the City Lord isn't too difficult for me, but the time he said hasn't come yet, and I'm always waiting for his signal. ”

It's a guy again.

It's a pity that Thirty-Five probably never had a chance to wait for that signal.

But I was very curious, "Why do you believe his words so much?" ”

"Or else? Being killed and eaten by him is death, and if you can't kill the city lord, you will also die. He let me go, just to give me a choice, and I could hide in the city. But...... But I also don't want to be trapped in this world forever. When there is only one way out, it seems that I can only choose to believe. ”

"So you've seen Silent Night? Moreover, they are going to kill the city lord? "This corresponds, my initial guess about Xia's next behavior.

"That's right. I met them on the street and was surprised. The little girl didn't recognize me, so I followed them all the way, and they seemed to be discussing some plan related to the assassination of the city lord. But I don't know the exact reason yet. During that time, I heard the little girl ask the woman next to me if her brother was really dead, and if that brother was the real brother...... That's when I found out that you were here too. If it was just the two of them, I wouldn't be worried. But if it were you, I'm afraid that you would kill the lord of the city before that snake gave me a signal. ”
