After eating, Eliagoth arranged a place for Tianxuan and the two girls to stay.

"Huh? Don't you sleep? Tianxuan saw Nicos and Black Carty yawning incessantly, and felt so strange.

"It's cold, the calories are insufficient, and you have to rely on sleep to maintain your physical fitness!" Nicos said listlessly as she covered her mouth with her hands.

"As soon as you said that, I noticed that there was indeed a little chill around me!" Tianxuan shuddered when he hugged his hands, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he asked Eliagoth: "Your Excellency the City Lord, I remember that when I first came in, it didn't seem to be so cold!" ”

"Yes! Because the constant supply of light and heat energy consumes too much, only one-tenth of the consumption is maintained for 8 hours a day, so you naturally feel cold! Eliagoth explained.

"But then everyone has to sleep, right?"

Eliagoth sighed and said, "This is also a helpless thing, after all, this is a place of exile, and it is impossible to consume huge resources all the time. ”

"Alright! I understand! Then Tianxuan said goodbye to Nicos and Black Carty, and then returned to his lodgings, washed up, and jumped into his bed, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after Tianxuan got up, knocked on the door and woke up Nicos and Black Katy, and then went straight to the city lord's hall.

Unfortunately, when I was at the gate, I found that there were many guards standing outside the city lord's hall, and the gate was also closed. The three of Tianxuan were about to step forward, but they were immediately stopped by a chubby guard.

"Hey! Hello! What the hell is going on inside that won't let us in? Tianxuan greeted the fat guard with a smile.

The fat guard glanced at Tianxuan with contempt and said, "The city lord is dealing with important matters, and no idle people are allowed to enter. ”

"But!" Tianxuan frowned and said, "We are his guests, and we said that we would come to visit today!" ”

The fat guard's eyes shot horizontally at this time, looking at Tianxuan like a thorn, and said viciously: "I said it, idle people are not allowed to enter." ”

At this time, Tianxuan was a little angry, rolled up his sleeves, approached a little closer, and said, "Why can't you understand the words?" Can't you just report it? ”

"No way!" The fat guard said categorically: "Even if you want to report it, you have to deal with it after the city lord has to deal with it!" ”

"You ......" Tianxuan was already furious when he heard this, so he pointed at the fat guard's nose and scolded: "Do you know how to speak human language?" Do you still need to report when it's over? ”

"Anyway, it's not good, I'm ordered to guard here, no matter what happens, don't let the slightest figure in!" The fat guard glanced at Tianxuan and said with disdain.

Hearing this, Tianxuan was even more angry, and he wanted to rush up to fight, but he was stopped by Hei Kati.

Then, Heikaty pulled Tianxuan aside and whispered, "Tianxuan, don't be impulsive!" ”

"But, the way he looks, it's ......"

Heikaty interrupted Tianxuan's words, stretched out his finger and shook it, "He did what he was told, no matter what his attitude was, he didn't do anything wrong, just wait." And if you really want to fight, you will definitely not be his opponent if you look at your body. ”

"This ......" Tianxuan looked at the fat guard, and then compared it with his own body type, and felt that what Heikaty said was reasonable, so he gave up the idea of fighting and waited nearby with the two girls.

About half an hour later, the door of the city lord's hall opened, and I saw a person in his twenties and thirties walking out carrying a stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth all over his body, Tianxuan thought in his heart: "It should be hanging!" Of course, his thoughts were confirmed when he went in to meet Eliagoth.

Seeing that Eliagoth frowned and sighed uncontrollably, Tianxuan said, "Your Excellency, what is the worry? Is it because these people have to die? ”

"yes, this is the third one this month." Eliagoth shook his head incessantly and said.

So, Tianxuan stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Why don't you tell us about the situation, maybe you can help something?" ”

"Alright! Come with me to the coroner's chamber in the Archon's Hall! With that, Eliagoth got up and walked out.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, the three of Tianxuan hurriedly followed.

After arriving at the autopsy room, Eliagoth lifted a white cloth, and suddenly Tianxuan noticed a strange sight: these were neither hideous faces nor rancid smells, but smiling faces.

"What's going on? Laughing when you're dead? Tianxuan felt a little panicked when he saw it, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and the two girls behind him were also standing far away at this time.

"Don't be afraid!" Eliagoth said calmly, "They were all frozen to death, so they had this kind of smile. ”

"Freeze to death?"

"Yes!" Eliagoth nodded and explained, "Before a person freezes to death, hypothermia syndrome appears, and the body's functions will automatically adjust, reducing the blood supply to the limbs to ensure that the energy supply to the brain is sufficient, which in turn leads to an increase in the amount of blood in the head, so after the person is frozen to death, there is a state of blushing as if drunk!" When people are cold, they will constantly breathe and inhale with their mouths, so the facial muscles are more like smiling, and the face is slightly red, so it is a bit like smiling. ”

After listening to Eliagoth's explanation, Tianxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep breath, and walked over to the corpse again. Because he had no fear, he saw it more realistically: he saw that the whole corpse was covered with frost, and there were some fine ice crystals hanging on the seven orifices of the head, and although his face was smiling, there was an obvious sense of stiffness......

After Tianxuan finished reading, Eliagoth covered the white cloth again.

At this time, Tianxuan asked, "Your Excellency the City Lord, did they accidentally touch that kind of ice crystal outside the city?" ”

"What do you mean?" Eliagoth asked, turning his head.

"Look!" As he spoke, Tianxuan stretched out his frostbitten left hand to show Eliagoth.

After a few seconds, Eliagoth shook his head. He said: "No, these people died in the city, and the Labor City was established after careful research, and the underground has also been treated, so ice crystals will not emerge." Even if it does, it will be cleaned up as soon as it happens, and it is impossible for this to happen. ”

Tianxuan scratched the back of his head, thought about it and asked, "This is strange, Your Excellency the City Lord, you said earlier that it happened three times in a month, who are these people who hang up?" ”

"Prisoners, all prisoners!" Eliagoth replied decisively.

"Nani? All prisoners? Tianxuan's eyes widened and exclaimed.

"Yes! I also have a lot of headaches about this matter, because this incident has caused the prisoners below to panic and be ready to move. ”

"And when did this start?" Tianxuan asked.

"This ......," Eliagoth said, raising his head slightly, his eyes rolling in thought, "Labor City has been established for more than 2,000 years, and it is said that similar examples appeared 1,000 years ago, but occasionally there have been, but in the last 50 years, this has happened frequently. Speaking of this, Eliagoth shook his head helplessly.

"Haven't you been able to find out why?" Tianxuan continued to ask.

"It is said that it was extinguished once 1,000 years ago, but I heard that there were heavy casualties, and no one has cared about it since then."

"Then there's no documentation?"

"Nope! Knowing that Ren has not survived until now, it has always been a mystery. Even if I kept stepping up my night patrols, it still had little effect. ”

"That's weird!"

When it comes to this, Tianxuan doesn't have any good ideas, so he has to say goodbye to Eliagoth and return to his residence.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but in the following days, a group of frozen people would be carried into the autopsy room every day. For a time, rumors spread in the city, and people were panicked.

That is, on the fourth day, when the heat decreases, when Tianxuan returns to his residence, Nicos and Black Carty follow. As soon as they stepped in, they immediately turned around and closed the door, leaned in front of Tianxuan, put their fingers on their lips and whispered, "Have you seen it, this place is really weird, let's not stay." ”

"Huh!" Tianxuan touched his eyes and nodded, "What you said is very right, this place is not suitable for a long time. Then let's say goodbye to Eliagoth early tomorrow morning! ”

"Nope! Let's go tonight! Nicolas said with a look of alarm.

"But it's not good to go without saying hello! What's more, it's even more unsafe at night! Tianxuan shirked.

"Let's go early! There is no night here, but it is just a period of calorie reduction, and I can't feel at ease when I stay longer! Black Katy said, stroking his chest.

"Alright! All right! At this point, Tianxuan had no choice but to reluctantly obey the two girls, pack up and leave.

Since it is now in a period of heat reduction, the light provided by the labor city has been reduced a lot, and as soon as you leave the city gate, you feel as if you are in the night.

"And say it's not night, you see what it's like if it's not night?" Tianxuan teased with a playful smile.

"Let's go! I don't want to be in such a horrible place. With that, Nicols hammered Tianxuan's back with his hand.

"Wow!" Tianxuan shouted, looked back at Nicos, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Nothing!" Nicolas pretended to be nothing.

"Alright! Let's keep going! After speaking, Tianxuan sighed and stepped up his pace of progress.

In the night that Tianxuan took for granted, the three of them walked for half an hour to the place where they had docked the Wind Protector a few days ago.

The three of them were about to breathe a sigh of relief, and when they stepped onto the Wind Resistant, a figure suddenly burst out.

"Not good! Come on! Tianxuan shouted.

However, it was too late, and at this moment several huge figures surrounded them, and their eyes flashed with yellow light, and they looked very terrifying.

A minute later, five huge figures gradually approached, and at this time, Tianxuan fixed his eyes and saw five fierce beasts with green skin and faces as big as a millstone appearing in front of him.

So, Tianxuan immediately took out the Pokémon Illustrated Book and scanned it, but the results were not optimistic: Qingmu tigers, mostly distributed on the periphery of the glacier layer, with a body length of 2-3 meters, carnivores......

After reading this introduction, Tianxuan and the three of them widened their eyes and choked in their throats.

"What should I do?" Nikos looked at the blue-eyed tiger who was staring at him on all sides, and said anxiously.
