Volume 1: Sin City Chapter 2: The Fighting Arena
At the entrance of the arena, the crowd of people who signed up and the crowd of onlookers retreated in horror after seeing the three marks, leaving Lin Tian alone in the middle of the arena, and a young woman in front of her who was sitting on the ground in professional clothes and trembling.
Lin Tian touched his nose, his face covered by rags was full of embarrassment, he didn't expect that he would be so famous everywhere.
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, he simply didn't hide it, grabbed the cloth wrapped around his body and tore it gently, and the whole cloth was torn to shreds, revealing his true appearance, tattered clothes, bare feet, and his hair was also messy.
Everyone didn't care about what he was wearing or what he looked like, but stared directly at the forbidden spirit lock on his body, and after seeing it clearly, they panicked even more, and on the basis of being far enough away, they doubled, and some people were already sticking to the wall like geckos.
"That...... Don't be afraid, I'm not malicious, I'm just here to make some money."
Lin Tian looked at the young woman and said in an extremely sincere tone. The voice seemed to contain some kind of magical power, and when the young woman heard it, her body didn't tremble, and her expression eased a lot, but when the young woman looked into Lin Tian's eyes, she was attracted by Lin Tian's clear eyes as deep as the starry sky.
"Ahem!"
The young woman's reaction was completely expected by Lin Tian, the person who could stare at his eyes and move freely, so far, he only knew one person, that was the flower shop girl, that girl Lin Tian could see that she was born an innocent person, and her special physique had no effect on her at all, but she was also given a pot of lilies by the other party.
It's funny just thinking about it.
Lin Tian came to the young woman and squatted down, gently tapped the young woman's forehead, and explained, "I have no malicious intentions, really, I just want to make some money."
"Oh...... Huh?"
Lin Tian's knock, the woman immediately came back to her senses, realized her gaffe, blushed slightly, and hurriedly explained, "Please...... Wait a minute, I'll report and get back to you, okay?"
Although the young woman said very politely, but her eyes were pleading, almost crying, such a big thing, she couldn't be the master at all, and she was afraid of offending Lin Tian, this kind of heinous person, if she started a fire to click her, there would be no place to reason for being a ghost.
"Briefing?" Lin Tian thought about it and didn't think it was too much, so he nodded, "Yes, but quickly, I have to go back and water the flowers."
"Well, wait a minute, I-I'll be back right away."
After receiving the reply, the young woman breathed a sigh of relief, got up and ran quickly to the hall of the fighting ring.
After seeing the young woman leave, Lin Tian raised his head and glanced at the crowd around him, he was in trouble for a while, he didn't know what expression to use to face these strangers who were shocked and scared of him, after thinking about it, Lin Tian also squeezed out a smile that he thought was okay to face everyone, and the result was ...... The surrounding crowd immediately retreated in horror.
Lin Tian stared blankly at the crowd that was frantically retreating, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, these people were too badly brainwashed.
Isn't it that the royal family wants to kill me, and they don't want to kill you, what are you afraid of?
Cut!
After the young woman went for a few minutes, she ran back again, bowed to Lin Tian with a slightly red face, and said, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting, our boss said, you can compete, and it will officially start in five days, your number is 107, this is your number plate, and then you can take the number plate and enter the fighting arena directly."
"Thank you, Sister Yang."
Lin Tian picked up the number plate and glanced at it casually, grinned, and then naturally pinned it to a broken rope waistband in front of the young woman, and then turned to leave.
I wanted to go shopping more, but I was too eye-catching, and wherever I went, the crowd retreated, which was really boring.
Yang Guangyu saw Lin Tian turn into the intersection, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he let out a long breath, wondering why Lin Tian knew his name, and when she lowered her head, she suddenly realized, it turned out that she had always carried a work card, remembering that she had been staring at Lin Tian's face just now, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she pursed her mouth and said to herself: "Call me Sister Yang, am I so old?"
Soon after Lin Tian left, calm returned to the entrance of the fighting arena, and a long line formed again, but Yang Guangyu looked a little listless, I don't know if it was because it was too exciting just now.
Soon, the news that Lin Tianlai signed up for the martial arts competition spread throughout Sin City, some people were worried, some people seemed excited, not everyone was so afraid of the royal family, and there were also some guys whose hearts were higher than the sky and whose lives were thinner than paper wanted to see what the strength of the people who could be named and killed by the royal family was.
In normal times, they really don't dare to do anything, but it's hard to say in the fighting ring.
The lighthouse world is supplemented by science and technology, and strength is the mainstay.
Strength is everything.
The royal family represents the pinnacle of strength.
Since Lin Tian came back from the city center, he didn't have much nostalgia for his kennel, and from time to time he would go out to wander around, walk around, especially the flower shop, he frequented it, and he knew the flower shop girl back and forth.
The flower shop girl's name is Lu Keke, this flower shop was taken over by her from her father, his father is also a martial arts player, he was beaten to death in a fighting competition last year, and when he heard Lin Tian say that he was also going to participate in martial arts, he persuaded him not to go, it was very dangerous, but Lin Tian didn't care about it, and Lu Keke didn't continue to persuade him.
These days, the residents of this street have gradually recognized Lin Tian's existence, but they are still very resistant to Lin Tian appearing at their door or in the store, Lin Tian is not angry, just stand outside the door and take a look, after all, he is really incompatible with these honest people.
Lin Tian is still very touched by the changes in Sin City, I remember that when I first came, there were traces of dilapidation everywhere, and the streets were either fighting or shooting each other with laser guns, how could there be the current prosperity, although the city center is still the same bird-like miasma, but it is also irrelevant, after all, this is called Sin City, if everyone is harmonious, then it will become a model lighthouse city?
Thinking of the changes in Sin City, Lin Tian suddenly became interested in the four lords.
How did they do it?
Five days later, Lin Tian appeared outside the door of the fighting arena, still looking in tatters, and people passing by were far away from him when they saw him, not because they thought he was dressed in tatters, but because they were really afraid that he would suddenly approach him.
Lin Tian looked indifferent, walked into the fighting arena barefoot, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yang Guangyu, who had signed him up a few days ago.
"Sister Yang!"
Yang Guangyu, who was busy pointing out the entrance to the players, looked back, obviously stunned, and then walked over with his eyes open, looking Lin Tian up and down, still the same as before, when his eyes went around Lin Tian's eyes, he was always attracted by his inexplicable temperament, and hurriedly shifted his gaze, clasped his hands, and said slightly angrily: "Your Excellency, do I look old?"
Lin Tian was stunned when he heard this, and said with a cheeky smile: "How should I call it?"
Yang Guangyu smiled, "Call me Sister Yang, or Sister Yu."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Sister Yang, I don't know the way, please take me to the fighting ring, you also know that as soon as I get close to them, they will avoid me."
"Who made you so famous?" Yang Guangyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, but how do you thank me?"
"When I win, I'll have a big dinner."
Yang Guangyu was dumbfounded: "Are you so sure you can win?"
"Of course."
Yang Guangyu was speechless, he had never seen such confidence, although he didn't know how Lin Tian offended the royal family, but every year a large number of strong people would emerge in the fighting competition. These strong people, not only the natives of Sin City, but also many strong people from other Lighthouse City, behind those people are powerful people, and the purpose is of course for money.
Who can't get along with money?
Yang Guangyu shook his head secretly in his heart, Lin Tian looked too small, whether he could come out alive was another matter, there was no need to argue about this issue here, so he turned around and said, "Come with me."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Yang."
"You're welcome, it's just a duty."
Yang Guangyu replied politely, Lin Tian didn't think there was anything wrong, this was the performance of a normal person.
The arena is huge, there are tens of thousands of seats in the viewing seats alone, and the venue must be at least 100 meters, which is already rare to have such a wide arena in the small lighthouse city.
Lin Tian was lying on the iron net, and his eyes lit up.
Dozens of spotlights shone on the green field, and the audience sat down one after another, and the scene was noisy.
"The top is the viewing seat, and the bottom is the playing field, this is an ancient ruin, it seems to be used to play some kind of ball." Yang Guangyu patiently explained and deliberately reminded: "Later in the game, you try to go to a place with a lot of people, try not to show your head, the first game is a knockout match, first eliminate some people who fish in troubled waters, and then the second game is also a knockout game, eliminate those who are not strong enough, and in the third game, there are basically not many people who can stand on the field, at that time, the draw will begin, one-on-one, until the first place appears."
"I advise you to ...... in the second scene."
Yang Guangyu wanted to speak and stopped.
"Oh, that's right, thank you, Sister Yang."
Lin Tian pretended not to hear.
"You're welcome, you should be."
Yang Guangyu glanced at Lin Tian seriously, and said curiously, "Aren't you afraid that you will be beaten to death?"
Lin Tian's eyes widened and he asked, "Didn't I kill them?"
Yang Guangyu was angry, shook his forehead with his hand, and felt a little headache, but seeing Lin Tian's innocent appearance, he couldn't bear it, and persuaded bitterly again: "It's too late for you to regret it now, once you enter the arena, you have to face life and death, you are so young, it's a pity if you die, if you lack money, you can do something else, there's no need to ......."
Lin Tian interrupted Yang Guangyu's words, and still smiled without changing his face: "Thank you Sister Yang for your concern, I will be fine, I will invite you to a big meal."
"Why are you so optimistic?"
Yang Guangyu was speechless, and invited me to a big meal, it would be good to walk out of the venue alive.
"Well, see for yourself here, I still have to go to work."
"yes, okay."
Yang Guangyu, who felt that it was useless to say anything, angrily dropped this sentence and left.
Lin Tianmu sent Yang Guangyu away, knowing that she was caring about herself, and she naturally needed to understand her intentions, but she must participate in the competition, in order to beat people...... No, for the money...... Well, right! That's a good reason.
There were four entrances to the competition venue, and Lin Tian came to a rest area where he was waiting at the entrance.
The aborigines recognized Lin Tian at a glance, and they all consciously retreated, and some of them looked at the young man with a forbidden spirit lock all over his body with a curious face, there is no doubt that they are all outsiders, they don't know the customs of Sin City, and they don't know that Lin Tian is a heinous person who offended the royal family, after all, the sensational events of the year were only broadcast sporadically on TV or the Internet for a while.
Lin Tian casually glanced at the contestants, a few of them he glanced at a little more, and others glanced at them, which was not worth mentioning at all.
"Hey! Boy, you have so many forbidden spirit locks on you, and you dare to come to the competition? Is it a long life?"
A big man walked over, and his words attracted the attention of those outsiders, looking at Lin Tian condescendingly with a mocking face.
Seeing this, the aborigines did not dare to squeak, but retreated to the side.
Lin Tian looked up at the big man with muscles like a dragon all over his body, was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "If there is money to be made there, I will go there, and the more money you make, the better."
"Just you? If you don't get a little thin, I advise you to forget it, so as not to be beaten out of as soon as you play."
Several people let out another burst of laughter.
Lin Tian replied seriously, "Thank you for your concern, but I will win."
The big man was stunned when he heard this, looked back at the outsiders behind him, and laughed at the same time as the outsiders.
It's probably the funniest joke they've ever heard.
