Heavenly Death City.

One of the twelve main cities of Qingguo, it is as famous as Feiyu City, but the difference is that Tianyu City is a city near the edge of Qingguo, it is a city of border fortresses, the city is heavily guarded, and there is also a ghost god who is infinitely close to the world destroying level inside.

When Shen Jian got out of the carriage and looked at this majestic city from afar, he felt an extreme depression.

Not much.

The eldest princess returns from the city.

A cold and majestic face was full of solemnity.

"This city, something is very wrong, I was just received into the city lord's mansion, but I found out that the city lord had disappeared a few months ago, and now the city is leaderless, and it seems that there is no news that there are enemy troops to slaughter here."

"Thankfully, the 60,000 ghost soldiers guarding the city are unharmed, with my identity, I can call them, and the 30,000 ghost depots that have come from the neighboring cities will also come in three days, plus the 10,000 elites in my hands, 100,000 soldiers and horses are complete."

"Father, this is the emperor, do you think that without the general of the Heavenly Death City, I can't resist the 30,000 Xuanjia army of King Pingnan?"

The eldest princess's tone was uncertain.

Because at the moment, the conditions on their side are too good.

In addition to the lack of existence above the ghost god level, the ghost pawns under her command are as many as three times that of King Pingnan, even if she uses twice the strength to fight the Xuanjia army, the remaining ghost pawns can still block King Pingnan and the ghosts and gods under him.

In this case, how should her father kill her?

Or is it ......

This speculation is false, and the father gave this holy decree simply to pave the way for her?

Come to think of this.

The eldest princess of Miao Lin suppressed this unreliable conjecture.

It is true that King Pingnan slaughtered the city, and it is also true that his father protected him, and all the clues at present point to his father's intention to destroy Qingguo, and if she holds such a naïve idea, she will only die without knowing it.

"What did you find?"

She looked at Shen Jian and asked.

"It's a little bit of a discovery, but I don't know if it's my delusion, I'll take a look."

Shen Jian looked at the city from afar, looking at the bustling pedestrians inside.

His perception told him that the resentment in Heavenly Death City was even more serious than that in Frostmoon City.

Frost Moon City is a resentment that only arises after hundreds of thousands of powerful ghosts died at one time.

What was the reason for the death of the city that day?

Shen Jian's eyes narrowed.

There was a little speculation in my mind.

"Okay, let's go into the city, although I don't know when King Pingnan's Xuanjia army will come, but with the 10,000 ghost soldiers I called, it's still no problem to be on guard, I want to see how the death of my father and emperor is arranged."

The eldest princess said that, turned around and entered the city.

And the 10,000 ghost pawns she brought were to fully take over the city defense of Heavenly Death City.

Her task is heavy.

Not only did she have to integrate the 60,000 ghost pawns of Tiandu City in a short period of time, but she also had to pick up the 30,000 soldiers and horses from nearby cities to support her, and after doing all this, she also had to find a way to exterminate the army of King Pingnan.

Only in this way will her exploits be enough to convince the public.

on this.

Shen Jian didn't say much.

No offer was made to help.

He can also be regarded as understanding the character of the eldest princess, the other party needs emotional value, but he can't treat her as an ordinary little woman, she is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she dares to participate in the battle for the heir as a woman and compete for the position of the crown prince.

In her area of expertise, she is confident that she can do her best.

Not to mention.

He also had to test his guesses.

Shen Jian glanced at Heavenly Death City again and followed the eldest princess inside.

……

Night.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

The eldest princess of Miao Lin took over the place and began to study the layout of the city's defenses.

In the empty room, she was the only one to handle affairs.

"Are you still there?"

Suddenly.

She shouted, her voice cold and uncertain.

"I'm here."

Shen Jian sat on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the city from afar, and said softly.

"Didn't you say you made a discovery this morning? Did you find it? ”

"Probably...... Got it. ”

Shen Jian's expression was gloomy.

Look at it.

The Heavenly Death City, which seemed very normal in the morning, became a different scene after nightfall.

There doesn't seem to be a night market here, and at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the huge city seems to be pressed the pause button, and the doors of every house are closed.

From Shen Jian's position.

The whole city was plunged into darkness.

Only the City Lord's Mansion still exudes the last glimmer of light.

And under the darkness, a large thick gray mist filled and churned, like a gray ocean, enveloping half of the city.

The gray fog is eerie, ominous, and covers extremely quickly.

As if there was life, it covered all the buildings and turned this place into a dead place.

I thought about it.

Shen Jian's form disappeared in place.

……

This was discovered by a group of players who came with a large army.

After entering Heavenly Death City.

A group of players began to explore the layout of the city and study escape routes.

Although the side quests require them to kill the ghosts, everything needs to be built on survival.

Following the large army is undoubtedly the fastest way to die.

Because of this.

The moment they stepped into the city, they had secretly separated from the large army and came to live in a ghost inn.

However......

At this moment.

A lot of players have cold hands and feet.

They found that after 12 midnight, all the pedestrians in the ghost inn, including the shopkeeper, became motionless, like a stone sculpture, completely devoid of supernatural fluctuations.

Not only the ghost inn, they tried to get out of the inn and enter the place on the opposite side, but they could still see the same scene.

Everywhere the eye looked, there was not a single ghost that was moving.

12 o'clock in the middle of the night seems to be a time node, and when it arrives, the ghost starts to stand by automatically.

This scene.

It makes all players shudder.

Because this is obviously not the normal situation.

"Mom, this is too infiltrating, isn't it, what's going on in this city?"

One player complained.

They had just searched all the places in the vicinity, and every house was in the same situation, and whatever they were doing at the time would be as if they were timed, and they would not move.

It's so wrong.

Although this is a copy of a thriller game, which is not normal for humans, looking at their experience of participating in so many game copies, the scene in front of them is still beyond their imagination.

Let the fear threshold within them skyrocket.

The sturdy man with the ID of [Heavenly Tiger] spared his head and said, "I seem to have seen it just now, and it was after that strange gray mist appeared that the ghosts here became like this. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The rest of the players chimed in.

"Indeed, I also saw that gray fog just now seemed to rise at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I happened to be shrouded in gray fog at that time, thinking that I had triggered some unknown supernatural attack, but I didn't expect that nothing happened."

"Is this the special thing about this supernatural place in Heavenly Death City? After 12 midnight, people and ghosts are forbidden? ”

"How is it possible, if that's the case, then when we see these ghosts, their movements won't be so strange, and some of them are even cooking, do you think it's like knowing in advance that the rhythm will stop after 12 o'clock in the morning?"

A group of players, you say a word, I say a word.

Heated discussions.

That's when it happened.

The gloomy man with the ID of [Heavenly Snake] said with a dead face, "Guys, it's likely that we're late. ”

Hear this.

The rest of the players were stunned.

I don't know what the other party is talking about.

What's too late?

"What kind of power do you think can bring the evil ghosts all over the city to a standstill?"

The Celestial Snake asked rhetorically.

"No power can do it, even if it is a ghost or god, it is impossible to have the spirit of a static city."

The players shook their heads, and the doubts in their eyes deepened.

"Yes, it's impossible, so why do you think that's happening?"

The more they listened, the deeper the players' brows furrowed.

Dissatisfied with the Riddler's tone of the Celestial Serpent.

You're so meowy, if you have anything to say, just say no, be Nima's riddler.

Seeing that the other players were puzzled, the horror in the heart of the Sky Snake had also reached its peak, and he shouted, "It's a ghost slave." ”

"Ghosts and gods can't stop the ghosts of a city, but if the city is a ghost domain, what if the ghosts in it are all ghost slaves? Do you think the ghosts can do this? ”

This sentence.

Like a thunderclap, it slammed into everyone's minds.

Their pupils dilated little by little.

I was shocked by the shocking words of the celestial snake.

The ghosts in the city are all ghost slaves?

Are you kidding.

There are as many as 300,000 ghosts in Heavenly Death City, and they also talked to the owner of the ghost inn this morning, where do those ghosts look like ghost slaves who are not even completely sane?

But if it weren't for the ghost slaves, why would the ghosts in the whole city fall into a state of stop?

"Wait, wait, you're saying that the ghosts in the Heavenly Death City have been slaughtered a long time ago, and the reason why they are still alive now is because they have all become ghost slaves and live in a man-made ghost domain?"

Some players trembled and sorted out their thoughts.

The more reasoned, the more terrifying.

Before they came to the aid of the Celestial Death City, the city was already a dead city?

What's the matter with the so-called galloping and stepping on a horse?

They haven't forgotten that the eldest daughter of the emperor came to defend the city and suppress the enemy, relying on the 60,000 ghost soldiers of the Heavenly Death City.

Now tell them that this place has long been slaughtered, and the so-called 60,000 ghost pawns are gone.

So what does the eldest daughter of the emperor rely on to resist the enemy army?

"It's a trap! Inform Yama quickly. ”
