Now Lei Leopard is not calm, he just regarded the two of us as students at first, and planned to accept them as errand runners. But he didn't know that we weren't joking with him at all.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at his forehead, and his cold sweat suddenly fell. This ostentatious thunder leopard looked at Duanmu Xuan with a trembling voice: "Brother." I was wrong. Leave me alone. ”

"I want to know something, I want you to tell me." Duanmu Xuan said.

"No problem, anything goes." Lei Leopard nodded hurriedly and said. And the people behind him were already stunned one by one. His eyes were all looking at us in horror.

Duanmu Xuan raised his pistol indifferently, and said in an indifferent voice: "That's good, I want to know now." Where exactly is the location of the City of Despair? ”

"I don't know." Lei Leopard said in a trembling voice.

"Oh, yes, then you're not useful." Duanmu Xuan said. The hand was already going to pull the trigger. But at this time, a voice slowly sounded: "No matter how much you ask him, it's useless." But I can tell you the answers you need. ”

Following the sound, many people looked over, but saw a lame man walking slowly, this man was wearing a green trench coat, and his figure was shaking, but judging from his face. It's already forty or fifty years old.

"Big boss." After he walked over, the people in the corridor hurriedly bowed to him and looked at him respectfully. And this man, who is called the big boss, nodded slowly. His eyes were on Duanmu Xuan.

"Good." Duanmu Xuan withdrew his pistol, then looked at the big boss and said, "Tell me everything you know." "Servant blood.

"Come with me, this is not the place to talk." The big boss turned around and began to walk slowly.

Then I followed Duanmu Xuan and walked over with him. The people around us were afraid to retreat from us. It seems to be very scared of us. In this city of despair, there is a lack of law. The law of the jungle is the only rule here.

And we, who have pistols, have no doubt that we have the ability to control their lives.

The big boss led us into a room. This room is about seventy or eighty square meters. The interior is extremely luxurious. And on the table, there is still uneaten ham.

At this time, the big boss sat on the sofa and watched us stretch out his hand: "You can also sit down." I happen to have something to ask you as well. ”

Duanmu Xuan and I sat down afterwards. At this time, I looked at him and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should spend a long time here, compared to the Thunder Leopard them." You're going to have a lot longer. And for such a long time. You can't still be on the second floor. I guess I came down from upstairs. ”

"If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have known anything more than Thunder Leopard." Duanmu Xuan said coldly.

Hearing the voices of the two of us, the big boss took out a Chinese cigarette from his pocket, then lit one, and said helplessly: "It's really amazing, I haven't opened my mouth yet, and your origin will be known to you." ”

"The cigarette in your hand is China, and for such a long time, this cigarette cannot exist. The only possibility is that you brought it from upstairs. I said.

"That's right," the big boss nodded, and then looked at the Chinese cigarette in his hand: "As you think, although there is no supply of cigarettes on the second floor, there are cigarettes on the upper floors." ”

"Why did you go downstairs when you were upstairs?" I asked.

"It's simple, I can't stay upstairs anymore, I don't know how many people want my life." The big boss said.

"So you're downstairs. But I wonder, won't anyone else chase after me? I asked.

"No, you probably don't know the rules of this City of Despair. For example, if a person on the tenth floor wants to enter the ninth floor, it is easy and can go down at any time. But once you go down, you will become a person on the ninth floor, and you must break through the level again to reach the tenth floor. So generally no one will go down at all. That means that your efforts are in vain. The big boss said.

"So you're on the second floor, because no one will chase you to the second floor. Because even if I kill you, it's going to be very hard to get back. I said.

"Yes, exactly." The big boss said.

"By upstairs, how many floors are upstairs? It doesn't look like a third-tier person. I looked at him and said.

"You two don't need to know." The big boss was silent for a moment and said.

"Well, I won't ask about that. I want to know. How did this city of despair come to be? I asked.

The big boss was silent for a moment, and then looked at us seriously. Suddenly asked, "Do you know the idiom of the castle in the sky?" ”

"Of course I do." I said, and then it dawned on me, "You mean." The establishment of the City of Despair is also on top of the castle in the sky? ”

"That's right, you woke up and saw it≡ the floor where you are is actually the center of the building. In that position, you can't go up and you can't get down. The big boss said.

"So, the City of Despair was built on purpose. To restrain us is to restrain us. Duanmu Xuan said.

"Yes, the city of despair is built on top of a pavilion in the sky, and it is said that all the buildings below the first floor have been abandoned, and half of the building is uninhabitable. It's impossible to go down. The big boss said.

I nodded, I knew. The stairs below the first floor are all concrete, and there is no road left. There is no way to get out at all. Therefore, it can only go all the way up.

"So you can only go up, and the City of Despair is such a structure. Starting from the center, we must keep moving upwards to get out of the city of despair. We've tried everything else, but it didn't work. The big boss shook his head and said.

"How many people are in this desperate city?" I asked. This big boss looks like a veteran, and I may know a lot of things from his mouth.

"I don't know, I can't calculate. Maybe tens of thousands, maybe millions. The big boss said. Hearing his answer, we were silent for a moment, but we also knew what he meant.

"So I want to know, how long have you survived in this city of despair?" I looked at him and asked.

For how long? The big boss was stunned for a moment, and a touch of vicissitudes appeared in his eyes. Then he said slowly, "It's probably been five years." ”

"Five years?" I looked panicked. It took five years for this big boss to get out of the city of despair. So how long do I need?

Ye Ruoxue and Guan Yao are still waiting for me. At first, I thought that it would only take a month to investigate the affairs of Nine Days International. I didn't expect it to take so long.

"It's not that long. I've seen a lot longer than me. The whole city of despair, I don't know how many people live here. The big boss said.

"Where are the supplies for these people's livelihoods?" I muttered to myself.

"It's not clear, this question has always been an unsolved mystery in the City of Despair. In fact, many people also think about how miserable it would be if one day the city of despair suddenly ran out of food. But that doesn't happen at all. In the five years I've lived, a lot of people have done a lot of crazy things. For example, bathing with milk. Or leave the faucet on for a year or two. However, there will be no shortage of water. The big boss said.

"According to you, it's a great place to retire. There is also no need to work. Eat and drink at any time. And to be able to live in such a big house. Do you know how many young people have become house slaves out there? I laughed at myself.

"yes, everything is good here. There is food and drink, and there is no need to work yet. But there is no freedom. The big boss said.

"I'm afraid it's not just that, since the city of despair is called despair, it won't give people too much time to live." Duanmu Xuan said. Then he looked at the big boss with sharp eyes: "You seem to have missed an important thing." ”

"Well, you can see it." The big boss smiled bitterly, and then said seriously: "The City of Despair is not a place to retire, if you don't break through here, you can only stay for half a year at most." After half a year, he will automatically die. Therefore, if you want to survive in the city of despair, you can only keep breaking through until the end. ”
