Chapter 21: Why are you angry?
“…… I said, you don't even know what my name is, you don't know where I'm from, so let me follow you? ”
Russell couldn't help but ask, "Then who are you?" ”
To be honest, Russell didn't quite understand the logic of the lion's actions.
More like a beast than a human.
There is no fear at all, and there is no scruple in acting.
But in the face of Russell's questioning, the white lion with a majestic face only grinned and showed a hideous and bloody "smile".
The "smile" between human beings is precisely to relieve hostility. It is a sign of pleasure and goodwill.
But when the white lion does the same, it's more like a beast with its mouth wide open and ready to eat—it only makes people shudder.
"Is there any need to ask?"
The lion chuckled twice, a low voice like a roar that shook his heart: "Needless.
"You and I are both mages. They are all outcasts who walk in the dream world...... You and I are friends and foes. ”
"Friend or foe?"
"The day you see this blue sky—the moment you walk on the sand, the moment you see the Tower of the End in the distance, you can't turn back."
The white lion let out a low laugh: "They will definitely not allow the existence of a mage. Is there anything more trustworthy than an ally who absolutely cannot be betrayed? ”
"Absolutely."
Russell replied undauntedly: "Even if they have the same enemy, the same origin, and are in the same situation. It doesn't prove that we're on the same path, and it doesn't prove that you won't betray me. ”
This is Russell's anti-customer response.
Although it seems that whether it is the spirit family, or the size, as well as the spells and combat experience, Russell is in an overwhelming disadvantage.
But in fact, this beast-like man who looks very dangerous is the one who "asks for help".
"—I can prove it, of course."
Unexpectedly, the white lion laughed, and his bold voice came far away in the wasteland: "Because I am 'strangled'."
"The trench coat on your body is the symbol of Tianen Group. You're also from Happiness Island, right? Then you must know me. ”
He stretched out his big hand, which had not turned into a beast's claw, but whose skin was unusually rough and almost calloused and pressed it on Russell's shoulder: "I am the 'strangulation' of the White Lion Group - my name is proof of that." ”
Russell's pupils contracted slightly, and he became a little nervous.
Because he did hear the name.
In the lower part of Happiness Island, there is an underground gang of young white lions called the White Lion Group.
Its leader is called the Strangulation...... It is said that this name was given because when he was a fighter and fought underground black boxing, he liked to use jiu-jitsu to hang people.
Later, after winning the championship for 16 consecutive years, "Strangling" hanged his boss and got his freedom - he became the new boss from then on.
And then ...... That was the formation of the White Lion Group.
The White Lions are a very young organization. It has been established for less than five years, and except for the boxing stadium that is its own business, the rest of its main business is "mediation" and "execution".
They are responsible for mediating the contradictions of the underground gangs and executing traitors who defect to the company or cause trouble in the lower town.
They instituted a "law of silence" that is now observed by almost the entire Lower Town.
The so-called "rule of silence" is that you should never attack company executives and elves to avoid getting anyone else in trouble – but bribery and fraud are okay because they belong to the law of Uptown. Stealing that seems to be okay is not allowed...... Because of the theft in Uptown, it is very likely that you will steal something deadly, and the brothers will have to pay for it.
At the same time, they will shelter members of the lower town who are willing to abide by the "law of silence" in times of trouble.
And if they have accepted their protection, they cannot reveal any information that is unfavorable to the White Lion Group, otherwise they will be executed. Those who betray the White Lions and those who betray the lower city will also be executed.
They also accept some evasion orders for "hunting and killing betrayers". If there are traitors in other organizations, they can also pay the White Lions to hunt them down. lest there are traitorous sympathizers in his own organization, deliberately let them go, or take more people away after contact.
Because the tentacles of the White Lion Group are more extended to the lower urban area, they are low-key.
Therefore, it is not like the "eternal reincarnation" and "curtain of ignorance" such organizations, which are often targeted by the inferior. It can even be said that because the White Lion Group is also fighting against the "Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation" and the "Curtain of Ignorance", the two main chaotic organizations in the lower city, the inferior ones will not take the initiative to find trouble with the White Lion Group unless they happen to run into it.
But unlike its cautious – even almost tolerant – attitude towards "Uptown".
The White Lions' punishment of traitors who tried to "take refuge in the upper city" could almost be called cruel.
…… Isn't it a bit self-defeating to go undercover in such an organization?
Russell even began to think, or he would simply cut into Alice's appearance and start the dream world to explore for two weeks.
But let's try it first.
Because the opportunity is so rare.
If it can be personally recognized by "Strangling", it will become much safer with the new identity of the White Lion Group Protector and Russell.
"What about you, what's your name?"
"Blue Song Robin."
Russell answered without hesitation.
This is the original code name of the Blue Song Robin, and there is no need to hide it - after all, it is not uncommon for people to use "Blue Song Robin" as the code name.
When people are too lazy to think of a code name and are in a hurry to use it, they often directly use their own spiritual relatives as a code name.
"It's a pseudonym."
Hearing that it was obviously the code name of the other party's spirit breed, Strangler sneered, never thinking that this was really the code name of the blue song robin: "Girls, let's change it." You're going to follow us to kill people in the future.
"When the time comes, if you say, 'Remember, the person who killed you is called Lan Ge Gong', the other party may think that this is some kind of stupid stage play. Are you going to sing them a paragraph again? ”
It's not impossible.
Russell sneered.
This one sings and slashes people at the same time, which does sound like a stage play.
"Then call me a barber."
Russell said casually: "A barber can hold a sharp knife and stand behind someone's back, and he will not be warned." What does this mean? ”
"Good name!"
The strangulation praised neatly and clapped his hands vigorously: "This is like words!" ”
If it weren't for the lack of wine, Russell suspected he would have had a drink.
"Come with me, barber."
Strangling turned around and turned to the right: "Remember, forty-five degrees to the right. Our path is the path of wrath. ”
"How do I determine that angle?"
"Don't be sure."
The strangulation replied: "You just need to move in the general direction and wait for the moment when you cross the realm......
He didn't finish speaking.
Russell suddenly felt something abnormal.
He stepped out, and the strangulation that led the way in front of him suddenly disappeared.
It was dark around him, and three illusory doors appeared in front of him without warning. Three paths stretch from under your feet.
The road on the left and in the middle doesn't look much different, except that the footprints in the middle are deeper. The road on the right is a series of damp footprints.
The appearance of the three doors is blurred...... But Russell suddenly understood their essence in his heart.
The Way of Practice, the Way of Wrath, and the Way of Vengeance.
Although Russell was also a little curious about where the remaining two paths led, he walked towards the middle without hesitation.
- The Way of Wrath.
When Russell took the first step, the remaining two paths dissipated at the same time.
The vague door appeared and slammed open to Russell.
It was a vermilion door frame, and the moment it was opened, flames raged all around.
A low, angry voice rang out in Russell's heart.
It was exactly the same sound as the Blue Song Robin—
[—Why am I angry?] 】
Hearing this, Russell's forward pace paused for a moment.
But only for a moment.
"I'm angry at this unjust world."
He replied without hesitation.
So Russell took the second step.
It was like breaking something, and it was like breaking through some membrane.
The dim world is dyed again—
The air around them suddenly became hot, and the sky above shimmered with a golden-red sunset.
The ground is no longer a desert, but has become potholed. There was a craggy gravel everywhere, and the ground was reddish-brown.
There are still many hollows in the ground around it.
White, sulphur-smelling smoke evaporates from it.
He was standing on the mountainside at the moment.
Russell subconsciously glanced back.
At the end of this mountain range lies a deep black void...... It's as if you just fall and die.
He looked back again.
At the top of the hill is the familiar Tower of the End. It's like a pillar stuck on the top of the mountain.
Russell's mind naturally came up with the name of this area:
"Fury Volcano ......"
