(3) Blood Raven (12)
Feeling the popularity, the mount ostrich unconsciously showed excitement, flapped a few wings for pure cuteness, unconsciously accelerated the speed of running, and sprinted 500 meters vigorously, just like this, rushed into a mining area that was in full swing.

At the center of the sight is a huge circular mine hole dug into the ground, the diameter of the hole is about 300 meters, and the edge of the hole is covered with various lifting machines, densely packed, constantly lifting and lowering the iron mesh box for transporting miners, with the roar of the machinery working below and the sound of manual digging, making a burst of clanging soundtracks.
The "miners" are not real human beings at first glance, although they are mostly dressed in humanoid skins, but their bodies are always damaged, some only have half a face, some are missing a waist, and the mutilated parts are machine parts in operation, so that their true identities are made engineering bodies, not biological beings.
Seeing this scene of labor, which was not small, Zuo Ci was a little worried about whether there was a hotel site where he could rest at first. After looking around, he soon spotted a stone house with an inn sign hanging on it in the distance on the higher slope, and immediately drove his mount around the rumbling work site towards the target on the high slope.
Soon came to the door of the inn, and the mount obediently walked to the direction of the stable as usual, while Zuo Ci stepped into the cold and dim stone house of the inn with strong contrast with the hot and hot work place at the bottom of the slope.
In the lobby on the first floor of the university, there were only four or five small light bulbs hanging from thin light lines, which kept shaking with the roaring noise outside, and one of them flickered on and off. The staircase leading to the second floor is set on the left-hand side, while the reception counter is set on the right side of the lobby, and the rest of the place is scattered with a dozen tables, only one of which is sitting with two people drinking silently.
Zuo Ci walked towards the counter without squinting, and said to the thin black boss with huge black circles standing behind the counter: "Stay in the hotel." Then he put his hand on the stone of returning to the city and registered.
"You're new here, aren't you? It's best to venture around here with a companion, after all, it's not a novice village anymore, and everything outside the novice village is dangerous. The boss looked him up and down and spoke in a deep voice.
The prompt of the system character was so natural that Zuo Ci felt good, so he casually asked: "It's really noisy here, is the sound of mining outside not stopping all day and all night?" ”
"Yes, the miners here are robots made by the Steel Fortress and can work completely non-stop, so there is no need to stop work. Do you think it's noisy? After a long time, you will get used to it - after a long time, even the rhythm of the roar that causes the bed to vibrate can be imagined as a lullaby. After saying that, the boss laughed a few times to himself.
[Unable to agree.] Raising his eyebrows lightly, Zuo Ci decided to go back to his room early to rest, and prepare to walk out of this noisy mine early tomorrow morning and concentrate on fighting monsters and upgrading in the surrounding area.
But when he turned his head, he saw two people sitting quietly at a table not far away, staring at him in unison.
The two men share the same characteristics as the Gary boy character seen earlier, the parts of their bodies are made of machinery, one of the two legs is made of steel to form a beast-like shape, and the other is made of steel below the wrist of the right hand holding the wine glass.
"It's the dog of the Lion Guild?" The Steel-Wristed Man asked loudly in a tone of unkindness.
Zuo Ci finally knew that the location they were just staring at must be the guild tattoo on his right arm.
[It's a hassle to add a guild, how annoying this lion guild is.] Zuo Ci sighed silently, [It seems that you will have to find a piece of equipment to cover the tattoo on your arm later, so as not to parry and fight everywhere.] ]
However, at this time, people are in the safe area, according to Zuo Ci's understanding, even if there is no killing intent, it is not good for them to do anything here, so as not to increase the regional hatred value and attract NPCs to interfere.
[Just pretend to ignore it, and be vigilant when you go in and out later.] Zuo Ci thought so, and did the same. He looked away and walked firmly towards the staircase on the left......
Then, this time, it seemed that Zuo Ci really thought wrong.
The man with steel in his hand almost did not hesitate to reorganize the steel of his entire right hand into the shape of a pistol, and slammed at Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci reacted sensitively and lowered his body and fell backwards, but the other man with steel on his lower limbs exerted his steel leg strength, lifted off the table, and came to Zuo Ci with a jump, pulled out the Congo axe behind his back at lightning speed, and slashed heavily towards Zuo Ci's body.
The world was blurred and dizzy all of a sudden, and before everything escaped into darkness, Zuo Ci seemed to hear the words of the two of them - "The lackeys of the Bachelor's Society only deserve to struggle to survive in hell......"
Although it was not the first time that he had been bullied by multiple high-level characters, the feeling of being killed for the first time in the game was very unpleasant, Zuo Ci opened his eyes and looked at this black and white world with strong wind and sand, frowned, and walked forward without hesitation.
Walking along the long passage in the shape of a behemoth's dragon skeleton, first walking quickly, and then running for a short time, Zuo Ci saw that there seemed to be a back in front of him, walking briskly in the same direction.
Zuo Ci quickened her pace, and soon came to a position parallel to her.
Passers-by turned their heads to look at him, it was a tall, pointy-eared female mage character. Seeing Zuo Ci, she reluctantly squeezed out a smile as a greeting, and then quickly turned her face to the position facing forward.
[Hey.] Zuo Ci wanted to greet him and ask him something about the resurrection...... Only then did he realize that his mouth was silent, and all the sounds had turned into a chaotic buzzing sound in his ears.
[It turns out that in Hell Mode, I can't communicate verbally.] Zuo Ci reluctantly turned his body and continued to run forward.
As the route progressed, more and more figures were seen, and the path of bones became narrower and narrower, and finally, Zuo Ci finally saw a neatly arranged queue, slowly moving towards a bright light, as if the exit was not far away.
I didn't have to think about it to join the queue immediately, and since we couldn't talk, everyone had to move step by step like a machine in the direction of light in this black and white world. The inexplicably neat pace is like an object on a conveyor belt in a factory, lifeless, at the mercy of others.
In this way, I don't know how long I walked, Zuo Ci finally came to a passage that could only be walked by one person. He followed in the footsteps of the former, and the stone walls on both sides were in the sky, and there was no end in sight when looking up, as if they were spreading into darkness.
At the end of the narrow passage, there was light, bright and dazzling, as if heaven was at the end......
After passing through the narrow passage in the light, there was a large circular room, the infinite height of which could not be seen from the zenith, with four huge pillars, all of which were entwined with thick chains. At the other end of the temple was an open door, and all the light shone through the other side of the door.
Needless to say, this is the so-called Rashomon, and the exit from hell is right in front of you.
Zuo Ci walked towards the light without hesitation, and the further he went, the brighter the color of the light became, and he began to be able to see various light colors such as light yellow, light blue, light green, and light red. He kept walking, until the colored light began to spin, spinning and dizzying his mind......
When I opened my eyes again, my snort was accompanied by the rotten smell of the earth, and there was a soft light of moonlight in the dark horizon in front of me. Zuo Ci frowned, and with a force, he lifted the coffin board covering his body and climbed up from the newly dug grave.
[Damn.] Zuo Ci once again recalled in his heart the appearance of the two characters who killed him, and secretly made up his mind to take revenge with his own hands one day in the future.
Yes, whether it is Shura and the ghost civet of the Blood Raven Organization, the two passers-by encountered in the Gray Rock Forest or the two half-human and half-machine characters who just killed him, all of them have been deeply remembered in Zuo Ci's mind, and he will definitely not let them go! - He couldn't help but bite his lower lip.
