Chapter 57: Prosperity and Gloom

The rocks of the show, the uninhabited residential areas, and the blood-stained small stone bridges. This ancient city is so bizarre and full of weird things.

However, this is indeed a feast for the eyes of the curious Tong Xiaofeng, and these wonders cannot be seen in the new city. It's not pretty, but it's also fresh.

According to Yuan Quyi, she has only come out a few times, and she is all under the leadership of others, so she hasn't paid much attention to the surrounding scenery, and now she looks really a little desolate.

Of course, not all places are like this. Like the free zone they're in now.

Tall old buildings line the streets, and the crowds of people make the streets look crowded, and the sounds of hawkers and people chatting make the place extremely lively.

"That's a huge gap, just a few meters between boom and bust. Tong Xiaofeng looked behind him and sighed softly.

It's a stark contrast that makes it hard to believe that what is in front of you exists, or maybe it's just a mirage that will dissipate in the clouds the moment you step in.

"In fact, the prosperity of this free zone is an illusion, and the darkness behind the scenes has never been broken, and I have heard from other servants that many people die in this area every day. But this is the safest place in this ancient city. ”

Tong Xiaofeng understood what Yuan Quyi meant, the world of the Alien is a place where individuals eat people, even this prosperous place is inevitably this iron law, and other places are more cruel than here.

The two of them walked down the street with the flow, and the place where the crowd was surging was where they were.

"Why are there so many ordinary people here?"

As he went deeper a little bit, Tong Xiaofeng discovered this problem, basically the number of ordinary people is more than that of the supernatural.

"This area is like this, there are a lot of ordinary people living here, which is why it is so prosperous and has become the center of all the areas. There are also rules that are set up to a certain extent. Some of these ordinary people are the descendants left behind by the supernatural but have no cultivation talent, some are criminals who have escaped from the outside world, and some are businessmen who are trying to earn the benefits of the supernatural. ”

"Merchants, it's a shame that they're willing to do business here. ”

"There is no way, human desire is the hands that push themselves into the abyss. And this ancient city is the center of the abyss, the place where sin gathers. In order to make a profit, these merchants used various methods to evade the government's sentinel and enter the ancient city, even knowing that this was a place where they could lose their lives at any time. ”

Yuan Quyi herself felt a little sad, because she was also in this abyss and could not escape.

Glancing at Yuan Quyi beside him, Tong Xiaofeng did not speak. He also had desires, but they didn't seem to be that big, so he couldn't understand why these people would risk their lives to satisfy their desires, just like those who sought the flesh and blood of the gods.

"Maybe it's not them who are wrong, it's the world. ”

After sighing slightly, Tong Xiaofeng stopped thinking about it and continued to focus on playing.

To say that this sixth district is indeed a veritable prosperity, whether it is the treasures of the world of the Aliens or the technological products of the new city, you can find them here.

Modern snacks, antique gold and silver jewelry, arenas, amusement parks. Tong Xiaofeng seemed to have entered a new world, wandering between various novelties.

Looking at Tong Xiaofeng, who is a child, Yuan Quyi also smiled and played with him.

Suddenly, the crowd changed direction, and many people rushed to one place.

Tong Xiaofeng and Yuan Quyi were originally drifting with the tide, and they also moved there under the drive of this crowd.

Eventually, they were led to an alley, which was long and winding but seemed to be quite spacious, but it was also surrounded by so many people.

Just when Tong Xiaofeng was wondering what this group of people were doing here, the cry from the crowd suddenly aroused his curiosity.

"Qu Yi, let's squeeze in and have a look. ”

“......”

Yuan Quyi was going to stop it, but after seeing Tong Xiaofeng plunging into the crowd, he could only sigh lightly and follow.

She already knew what was going on in the place surrounded by the crowd, how piercing the somewhat poignant cry was, this might not be the picture Tong Xiaofeng wanted to see, but she couldn't stop it, because Tong Xiaofeng was already standing at the front of the crowd.

Just as Yuan Quyi thought, this is not the picture that Tong Xiaofeng wants to see, a middle-aged man is lying quietly on the ground, his pale face and closed eyes look particularly terrifying, and the blood continues to flow down his clothes, dyeing the earth red.

His breathing had long since stopped, his heart had stopped beating, and his life had withered.

Beside him were a woman and a young girl. The terrible cry came from the woman's mouth, and the feeling of pain had reached Tong Xiaofeng's heart.

The little girl was not strong, she choked her throat, as if she could no longer cry, half-squatting beside the middle-aged man and shaking, blood staining her little pink hands.

This was the first time Tong Xiaofeng had seen a dead person, and the strange thing was that he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, as if he had long been used to death. Only the deep sadness cut the mouth in the heart, and a little helplessness became a sharp blade that pierced the soul.

The murderer did not leave the scene, he stood not far away and watched the impromptu performance with a smile.

This is a short, fat middle-aged man, with a gray face and a big beer belly holding on to his clothes, if only the only thing he can see on his body is the clothes wrapped outside.

He was followed by a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. In the chat of passers-by, Tong Xiaofeng learned that the young man was the one who did it, and the short and fat middle-aged man was the one who paid to hire him. The motive for the killing was simply because there was no business deal.

It's such a simple reason that a person is taken away from the right to live in this way. The future of the weeping woman and the little girl was in vain.

Tong Xiaofeng felt that the anger in his heart had risen again, not only against the middle-aged man, but also at the entire world of supernatural beings.

There was no one around, some were even laughing, it was just an interesting show for the Anomalous, one less competitor for the Businessman, and for the ordinary people it was just a part of everyday life, and they had to try to laugh at the misfortunes of others to entertain themselves.

Yuan Quyi has also come to the front of the crowd, she feels very sad, that little girl is as helpless as she was back then, but she chooses to give up, because there is nothing she can do, this is not something she can change, all she can do is to avoid dying like them, and struggle to survive at the bottom.

This may be hell, so don't pray for angels to come down, here you can only compromise to save yourself, or become a strong man to conquer others.
