454. The lord of the city
In the boundless darkness, there was a soft sound of "hiccup", as if a giant beast had eaten enough.
At the same time, in this dark space, there is a crippled city, and there is a luxurious mansion.
In this lonely city, every house is brightly lit, and the streets are full of people, a scene of harmony.
City dwellers don't seem to see the black fog outside the city, and they only have their own one-third of an acre of land in their eyes. Live your own life, carefree.
"Winter... Winter... Winter..."
The constant sound of drumming is drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the city, and even if one is not careful, it will completely ignore its existence.
In the middle of the city, there was nothing but black fog, and it was empty.
But just now, a huge and luxurious City Lord's Mansion suddenly appeared, standing tall in the middle of the huge city.
It's like a lighthouse, lighting the way forward.
The master bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion can only sleep on a hardwood bed for one person, with only a thin quilt on it.
Sleeping in such a bed is not comfortable, rich and noble people will not sleep in such a bed, everything in this room is very ordinary, and it is incompatible with this luxurious city lord's mansion.
"Huh? Something has changed. ”
Wu Shirong suddenly opened his eyes, his mind was completely uncalm and irritable.
Even though this was his room, everything was as familiar as ever.
But he just felt that it was all unnatural, like... It's not like his bedroom.
I touched the worn-out quilt under me, and then touched the hard bed board, and it was still the familiar touch.
However, his heart has been speeding up with him, and something is wrong here.
He stood up and looked to the right as he walked out, observing everything in the master bedroom, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
Gently opened the door, unconsciously looked up, the sky was as black as ink, without a trace of light, as if dark clouds covered the entire sky.
However, the city lord's mansion was as bright as day, and it was "busy"
The suspicion in his heart deepened.
"Huh... Hmm..."
In the courtyard, an old servant swept the floor with his back to him.
Wu Shirong just glanced at the old servant and didn't find anything abnormal, but he just felt creepy, and the hairs on his body stood up.
A huge sense of panic hit his heart for no apparent reason, and he almost turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, he held back, pretended to be nothing, and left the backyard without hurrying.
His right hand held the pendant on his chest tightly, the sweat in his palm soaked the pendant, it was wet and slippery, and it felt very bad, but he was nervous and couldn't let go.
When I finally walked out of the backyard, I couldn't see the weird old servant, but along the way, those servants were not normal.
Although he manages his subordinates very strictly, this big night... What a job!
"Are they stunned?"
When he was about to reach the door, the touch sensation in Wu Shirong's right hand finally reached his brain.
He was suddenly surprised to find that the pendant in his hand was exuding a cool aura, like a trickle, first flowing into the body, then directly to the mind, and finally to the soul.
"It's what keeps me awake?"
At this time, Wu Shirong held the pendant tighter.
At this moment, a whisper sounded in his ears, gloomy and sad, very mad.
"We respect the city lord, where do you want to go at such a late hour?"
Wu Shirong's hand rested on the bolt of the gate, and he was only one step away from escaping the City Lord's Mansion.
However, his body was stiff and unable to move.
His memory has always been very good, and this is what he relied on the most from a beggar to today.
So, in an instant, he could hear who the owner of this voice was.
It was a taboo he didn't want to remember, and it was the origin of his daily nightmares over the years.
"What? Our esteemed lord remembered it. ”
Wu Shirong slowly turned around and looked at the owner of the voice, it was a young noble man with a handsome face.
Sure enough, it was him!
Wu Shirong's face was pale, and his heart was like ashes.
Wu Shirong was deeply impressed by the face of the young noble son, and he couldn't forget it, when he was young... He can see it every day, and he can't be more ripe, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
The young noble boy gently stroked the big red doorpost and sighed.
"After 30 years, I will look back on everything as it was."
Wu Shirong reluctantly settled down and laughed miserably.
"So, you're here to take revenge on me."
The young noble boy shook his head and said with a serious face.
"No, I'm here to collect debts."
"If you say that, it's no problem!"
Wu Shirong clenched the pendant in his right hand and looked at him with burning eyes.
"But what if I don't pay it back?"
The young noble boy smiled contemptuously and said.
"It's up to you! It's been thirty years, you've stolen all my life, and it's time to pay it back. ”
"Steal? Didn't you ask me to be a stand-in of your own volition? ”
The young noble boy looked resentful and rebuked angrily.
"Hehe, but you tore up our agreement and sent someone to assassinate me!"
It turns out that the young noble son is the real Wu Shirong.
"Wu Shirong" had calmed down a lot at this time and retorted.
"No, you broke the agreement first, we said it, I want power and wealth, you want freedom, but you are back, back to Light Feather City, so that I may be exposed at any time."
At this, he roared angrily.
"I don't want to kill you, but you shouldn't come back, I'm the city lord, and my identity can't be revealed, so you must die!"
The real Wu Shirong's eyes were full of hatred, and he floated in front of the stand-in, staring at his eyes and muttering to himself.
"You know, I never just wanted to be free, I don't care about the glory and wealth you want, I came back because..."
Speaking of this, his face showed a look of happiness, and then he looked at the stand-in viciously and said angrily.
"But it doesn't matter, you've ruined everything. You're damned! ”
His hand suddenly turned into a big black mist hand, and he grabbed "Wu Shirong" directly.
"Wu Shirong" naturally will not sit still, he has finally come to this point, and he doesn't want to die.
"Whe..."
The black qi was blocked by a golden light.
"Ahh
The black mist retracted, Wu Shirong looked at the four fingers, and laughed angrily.
"Okay, good, you actually used my Wu family's heirloom to deal with me, you go to die!"
At this moment, the lights of the entire City Lord's Mansion were extinguished, and it fell back into darkness, the kind that couldn't see the five fingers.
"Whe..."
…
At the same time, in a dark uninhabited alley in the city, three people, a man and two women, appeared silently.
Seeing that she had not been discovered, a masked woman looked at the young man and asked softly.
"Are you sure there's no problem?"
"There is no problem, as long as it is not particularly noticed, it will not be discovered."
At this moment, another woman stretched out her head to look at the left and right roads.
"So, we can't make too much of a fuss right now."
"Yes, that's it."
