Chapter 69: The Rules
I was surprised that there was such a saying in the inner market.
But I still chose to remain silent in the face of this strange child, I don't know that I can't talk nonsense, but I was instilled with a dangerous inner market before this came, and I had to be vigilant.
Seeing that I didn't answer, the kid was not surprised, but just said to himself: "I'll just say, this time I went to Dongcheng, and it hasn't happened a few times since the beginning." If you don't find a reliable person, where do you dare to go to Dongcheng. ”
As he spoke, the child's big eyes rolled straight away, revealing a clever energy.
To be honest, he is not ugly, if it weren't for the big and thin head, pale and yellowish hair, he would be a tiger-headed child.
Nodice me looking at him, he scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "If I hadn't thought like this, I might not have the courage to stop you." That's good, I can still make 500 bucks. ”
As he spoke, he led me through an alley and toward the west.
I did hear some meaning from his words, and secretly analyzed it in my heart, and I didn't say much, but with this little effort, he had already led me through two alleys, both facing west, far away from the main street.
As he said, he was unusually familiar with the inner market.
After all, it is a city, and after walking for a while, I thought about it, and finally spoke: "It seems that you are really familiar with this place, and all that took me was a shortcut." ”
Actually, I don't know if he took me a shortcut, but it takes a little skill to ask questions, at least I can't show my bottom.
When he heard what I said, he was a little surprised, and asked me in some surprise, "Huh?" Uncle, how do you know I'm taking a shortcut? ”
I felt a little awkward in my heart, and said, "I'm not old, you don't have to call me uncle." Just call me a guest. ”
"Yes, yes, guest. I just watched other people's powerful characters call them masters, uncles and the like, so I followed along, and many people listened happily. "He talks a lot, although he has a sense of being a teenager, but there is still something that belongs to a child in his words.
I wondered in my heart, could it really be a child?
But these are not things that I can care about when I come to the inner market, I paused, and continued the topic just now: "Seeing that you can find so many shortcuts, I think you are really familiar with the ghost market?" ”
"That is, if my pity is to say that my familiarity with this inner city ranks second, then no one dares to say that it ranks first." Listening to me praise him, this kid couldn't help but be very proud, and his shaking head was a little cute.
His name is Mercy?
But until now, I still can't believe that there is such a person in the inner city who does this kind of work as a 'guide' similar to a tourist city scenic spot, and he is still a child.
But this is how things are developing, and I can only cooperate according to this 'drama path', and while I was talking, I quietly took out two hundred yuan from my backpack, which is not much, not enough to arouse anyone's greed.
But if this kid is really so eager to make money in the inland market, these two hundred yuan are enough to tempt him.
Seeing that I took out the money, he was also clever, and immediately came forward and asked, "Guest, what do you want to ask?" I know a little bit of the secrets here. ”
He approached me, and there was a slight indescribable 'rotten' aura from him, and I frowned secretly, but I didn't say anything, but said in a low voice: "I don't know if the secret you said is true or false." Therefore, tell me everything you know about this place. Whether everyone knows it or doesn't know it, I have my own plans. ”
"Ah, that's a long story." That poor boy didn't expect me to make such a request.
I looked at the two hundred yuan in his hand quietly, and he quickly showed a smile, how dare he complain, and while taking me away, he told me all kinds of things about this inner market.
After all, it's a city, and we don't have any means of transportation, so it's quite time-consuming to move around.
Although I was a little anxious in my heart, I listened to the words of Liansheng about the inner city along the way, and time passed not slowly, and I didn't feel that the distance was too far.
And from his words, I also know that we are going to Xicheng.
In this huge city, only the west city is the scope of human activities. According to the direction of this city, as soon as you enter the city gate, you should take a shortcut and go straight to the west city.
But I didn't know this, so I followed the main road and went straight in the other direction.
Naturally, I didn't want to enter the East City, I just wanted to follow the main road to investigate, but I misunderstood, and watched me go to the other end, thinking that I was going to enter the East City.
However, in this ghost city, except for going to Xicheng to maintain such a state of oneself, going to other places must be in the state of the soul.
This is what the mercy said, if I don't find a reliable person, how dare I enter Dongcheng? Can the body of the soul temporarily departed be entrusted to someone casually?
From his mouth, I can vaguely know that this inner market, except for the strict division of regions, is a rule.
The rest has no rules, and it's a place of complete chaos.
In addition, the 'permanent residents' here may be because of this dark environment, even if their temperament is mild, they have become perverse and violent, and it is common for them to be careless in addition to human life.
"Speaking of which, if the soul is scattered, it is considered a relief. The most feared thing is to be taken away and sent to the most chaotic northern city, which is close to another cliff of death, then it will be miserable. That's what Mercy said.
"The Cliff of Death? It's scary there? "I didn't really know what Deathcliff was, and I didn't think I would go there, so I just asked casually.
"It's the other side of the waterfall, which is called the Cliff of Death. It's not the place that's scary, it's the place after that. When he said this, his originally pale face turned even paler, as if it was a taboo.
There? Is that the little plain?
I kept silent, because I had planned that place on my previous escape route, and it seemed ridiculous now.
From the words of pity, I already know how terrible this inner city is.
I also understand that the reason why a place like this is so chaotic is because even if the snow-capped mountains want to manage, they are not able to do it.
It's like there's some secret buried here, a taboo that can't be touched.
It seems that the storage of the snow mountain vein can only try to maintain a certain balance, and cannot completely control it. And Chen Chengyi, the leader of the Snow Mountain lineage, seems to have the same deep meaning of making ghosts here.
I thought to myself, and finally got a general understanding of this inner market.
According to the familiarity of the people, I tried to get as close as possible, and it took me nearly one and a half hours to get to the west of the human activities.
The moment I heard the human voice, I had a vague excitement in my heart.
"Guest, you believe me. You know, even if you enter the city and enter the West Market, you will have to walk all this time. "This kid seems to be asking for credit.
I nodded.
Speaking of which, there was some depression in my heart, if I wanted to enter the inner market, in the shed where I was waiting before, the old man who boiled medicine would tell everyone to go to the west market before entering the market, and take an obvious westward road from the entrance.
It will even give a road map.
However, Brother Masakawa and I didn't plan to enter the inner market from the beginning, so naturally we didn't know about it.
That's why there was no one in the ghost market as soon as I entered it, and when I thought of this, I had a question in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask the mercy: "You said, if I entered the East City without knowing it, but I didn't want to act in the state of a soul." What are the consequences of that? ”
He looked at me in surprise and said, "Guest, aren't you joking?" If you dare to enter as a human body in the East City, you don't know how to die! That's the rule set by the 'city tyrant' there, if you don't follow the rules, no one will avenge you if you die. Moreover, the soul will inevitably be thrown behind the cliff of death. ”
"They say throw it away? So domineering? What do I not want to do? What is a market tyrant? I was a little unconvinced, and said it casually in a joking tone.
His eyes widened as he watched me froze for a few seconds before a look of adoration appeared in his eyes.
After that, he whispered to me: "The city tyrant is the most powerful one in the East Market!" But what it looked like, I can't remember. ”
There was distress on his face.
But he looked up at me and said, "I knew you were amazing!" Someone who dares to say such a powerful thing, I thought it was only the owner of the West Market. As for Mr. Chen at the beginning, I heard that he beat up a lot of powerful people here. Just opened a ghost market here. ”
"That's right." I replied as lightly as I could, but my back was covered in cold sweat.
When it comes to ability, I can't look at Chen Chengyi's back at all. It seems that I don't know that the sky is so thick that I would casually say such a thing and make an innocent child worship me.
At this time, we have finally entered the West Market, the real ghost market that belongs to humans!
