Chapter 1: The City of Hell

Next Chapter

The Forgotten City, known as the Killing Hell.

It is a city abandoned by the gods, it does not belong to this world, there is no trace of its existence on the earth, and there is not the slightest corner of the map that belongs to it.

It...... is a city that does not exist.

But every day, a large number of humans appear here inexplicably, and they are erased from their memories and only remember their own names.

They are discarded in all corners of the city for the monsters in the city to bite and use as rations.

……

"Shhh...... My head hurts......"

It was as if a steel knife had been inserted into the skull, stirring and stirring, trying to break all the brain tissue into a pulp.

Shi Yu opened his eyes in confusion and looked around with the growing pain in his mind.

The surroundings are desolate and dilapidated, and although there are many high-rise buildings, some of them have collapsed, and those that have not collapsed are already full of cracks, like the pavilions in the sky, crumbling and full of a sense of ruin.

Ahead, the asphalt road stretches straight ahead, but both sides of the road are overgrown with weeds, and the originally smooth road surface is also full of potholes, which is badly damaged.

"This ...... Where is it? Why no one? A sentence came out of his mouth, Shi Yu shook his drowsy head and looked at one place.

Just now, he turned his head to look around, as if he saw a figure flashing in the alleyway between the two tall buildings.

If you look closely, there is indeed a humanoid creature standing in the gloom, looking at him coldly.

It's just that......

This thing is not human.

It stood upright like a human, its body covered in scales, blue-black, red eyes, a large mouth, and lips turned out, revealing the dense fangs of the gums as thin as steel needles.

"Roaring ......"

The monster let out a roar at Shi Yu and ran quickly, coming towards him.

The monster was extremely fast, and it was in front of Shi Yu's eyes in the blink of an eye, and its sharp mouth opened wide, tearing towards him.

The city and monsters in front of him simply subverted Shi Yu's cognition, and his brain couldn't react for a while, and he was still a little stunned at the moment.

But at this moment of stunnedness, the monster's sharp teeth tore down, and dozens of steel needle-like teeth pierced into the flesh and blood.

That kind of pain rushed towards Shi Yu's brain like a torrent, causing his eyes to widen instantly and be bloodshot.

"Ah......h

The sound of wailing resounded throughout the wilderness, echoing in this silent, desolate city for a long time.

The pain caused Shi Yu to erupt and punch the monster's head.

"Bang ......"

With a muffled sound, Shi Yu only felt that his right hand seemed to hit a piece of wood, it hurt terribly, and his right finger had a feeling of being broken.

And the monster followed Shi Yu's fist, clenched his teeth, exerted force on his neck, and pulled it fiercely, directly tearing off a palm-sized piece of flesh on his left shoulder.

Blood splattered, drenching the monster's face, making it look even more hideous.

"Ah...... ......"

Shi Yu couldn't help wailing, and the sharp pain in his left shoulder made his body tremble and spasm uncontrollably.

"Gollum ......"

The sound of swallowing sounded, and the monster's throat squirmed, swallowing the meat in its mouth into its belly.

At this moment, it obviously became more excited, the bloodlust in its scarlet eyes became more intense, and the murderous aura around it became thicker.

Feeling the cold murderous aura, fear spread from Shi Yu's heart, like a weed on the road, growing wantonly.

"...... who will die"

"...... who will die"

In his brain, there seemed to be a voice screaming at him, reminding him of the horror of death.

Calm down!

Calm down!

Calm down!

Shi Yu roared in his heart, but the fear of death gradually began to destroy reason and occupy his heart.

"...... who will die"

The voice sounded like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Smack......

Finally, in a certain one, a certain line in Shi Yu's mind was broken, his reason completely collapsed, and fear took possession of everything.

Shi Yu turned around and ran for his life, regardless of it, exposing his entire back to the monster.

"Roaring ......"

With a roar, the monster got to the ground on all fours, bent its knees, jumped up, and threw itself towards Shi Yu, its mouth wide open, blood hanging on its thin teeth, and bit Shi Yu's head.

At the moment of crisis, a black shadow sprang out of the weeds beside the road and crashed headlong into the youkai that pounced on it.

"Bang ......"

The two collided violently, and it was obvious that a cloud of dust floated up from the moment the two of them collided.

The monster in the air was directly knocked out and fell into the grass, while the black shadow was hit and took a few steps back, and then pulled up Shi Yu and ran.

When he got closer, Shi Yu saw clearly that this black shadow turned out to be an old man.

The old man was dressed in tattered black clothes, about seventy or eighty years old, his hair was white, the folds on his face were like orange peels, and a thin layer of mud could be clearly seen on his black-red skin, giving people a sloppy feeling.

The old man picked up Shi Yu and turned into the narrow alleyway, constantly walking through it, and after turning around, Shi Yu was completely disoriented, unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

It wasn't until he ran into a dilapidated house that the old man stopped panting, and fell headlong into a dusty bed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Shi Yu turned his head to look, and there was no monster behind him.

Enduring the pain, he carefully leaned against the wall that had peeled off and looked at the old man.

There were too many questions in his mind at the moment.

- Where is this?

- Why is he in this place?

- What is that monster?

- How did he feel like he was feeling dizzy, as if he had lost a lot of important things.

Before Shi Yu could ask, in the bedroom, a sound sounded, and then, the door was opened, and a bald man with a meaty face walked out of it.

Seeing Shi Yu leaning against the wall at a glance, he was stunned for a moment, and then Zou frowned, feeling dissatisfied.

"Old man Li, who is this little cub? What about the substance you're looking for? Riding a horse and being lazy? ”

Sure enough, the bald head spoke in a bad tone, scolding and scolding.

"Old man Li, Lao Tzu told you, if today's material search can't satisfy me, be careful that Lao Tzu kills your goddaughter."

Old man Li's body trembled, regardless of the fatigue of his body, he hurriedly got up from the broken bed, trotted to the bald head, carefully pinched his shoulders, and said with a smile and a smile in his cloudy eyes with a touch of pleading and fear.

"Bald man, kid...... The child is innocent, ...... Today, I found something that will definitely satisfy Brother Chu. ”

Old man Li said, quickly untied the tattered clothes on his body, took out a pack of instant noodles from it, and continued. "Bald brother, instant noodles, they haven't expired, I desperately found them, Brother Chu is absolutely satisfied."

The three words of instant noodles made the bald head's eyes light up, looking at the still bright red packaging, the bald head snatched it over, and kept looking left and right in his hand.

"Bald brother, what's the matter? This is what I desperately found ......."

Old man Li bent over, standing beside the bald head, with a flattering smile on his face, and said cautiously.

But halfway through the words, the bald and vicious face was dissatisfied, and he directly raised his hand and slapped it with a mouth.

"Made, are you so confused, this is what you are looking for? Didn't Lao Tzu find this pack of instant noodles with all his hard work? ”

"Smack......

This mouth bleed, and the corners of Old Man Li's mouth spilled, and his thin body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

It wasn't until he slowed down for a while that Old Man Li stood up straight, looked at the bald head, and the anger in his eyes flashed.

But in the next second, the stiff smile squeezed out of his face again, flattering. "I'm sorry for the bald brother, I'm old and confused, this pack of instant noodles was found by the bald brother, I just helped from the side."

"It's pretty much the same, talk well next time, otherwise, be careful of Lao Tzu's mouth." The bald head nodded in satisfaction, and his vicious face was full of smug sneers.

Looking at this scene, Shi Yu felt a little angry in his heart.

This old man Li can be a bald father at his age, but this bald man does not have the slightest meaning of respecting the old and loving the young, but constantly beats and scolds the old man Li, and even directly takes the instant noodles found by the old man Li as his own.

However, he is new to the city, so he still has to observe this kind of thing carefully and make a decision.

"Old man Li, who is this kid, you brought a newcomer back?" The bald head stared at the instant noodles with his eyes, and asked without raising his head.

Old man Li nodded again and again, with that stiff flattering smile on his face. "Bald brother, newcomers may have memories, so bring them over and let the bald brother ask questions."

The bald head smiled playfully, raised his head, stretched out his hand and patted Old Man Li's cheek, making a snapping sound, which was extremely insulting. "Old man Li, don't you give up on the horse? When you meet a new person, ask about your memory. ”

"Okay, Lao Tzu looks at the instant noodles today, and I won't stop you."

"Tell this little cub the rules, newcomers are the most prone to make mistakes."

The bald head said, turned around and left, but before closing the door, he glanced at Shi Yu coldly.

At that glance, the warning was full of meaning.

The bald head left, Old Man Li breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to Shi Yu's side, with a smile on his old cheeks, but the bruised slap print hung on his face, which looked very incongruous.

"Boy, the first day here?"

Shi Yu nodded.

Hearing that it was indeed the first day, the old man's eyes flashed and he asked urgently. "Boy, are you also amnesia, think about what else you can remember."

The old man's words made Shi Yu suddenly stunned in place, the pupils in his eyes instantly constricted to a little, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his cheeks.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that his brain was blank, his previous memories had completely disappeared, and the only thing he remembered was a name...... Shi Yu.

His name, he could clearly know that it was his name, but anything about that name was blank.

Looking at Shi Yu's performance, the old man had already guessed the answer, and his old, black and yellow face was full of disappointment.

"Alas......" The old man sighed slowly, got up, looked lonely, curled up in a corner, and slowly spoke, answering the question in Shi Yu's heart.

"It's called the Forgotten City, and it doesn't exist anywhere in the world."

"The Forgotten City is infested with monsters that feed on people, bloodthirsty and brutal."

"Every day, new people like you appear here for no reason, the purpose is to feed those monsters."

"They will be erased from their memories, only their own names, but strangely have a clear perception of things."

"Even firearms, just by looking at them, you know how to use them."

……

The old man paused, as if remembering something bad, sighed leisurely, and then spoke in a low tone.

"And those of us who weren't eaten are called survivors."

"There are many survivors, and everyone huddles with each other to keep warm, and it has become a small force."

"But as time goes by, these forces have long forgotten their original intentions, and only interests remain in their eyes."

"For the sake of that little bit of material, everyone killed each other and drew their swords against each other."

"Killing, blood, betrayal, and death are repeated here, and the hot meat in the law of the jungle is vividly displayed."

"Poof...... Puff ......"

The old man's words made Shi Yu's heart beat wildly, and cold sweat flowed, although he had already guessed a little just now, but he didn't expect that the reality was even more cruel than he imagined.

- Cities that don't exist.

- Cruel times.

- Humans whose memories have been erased and who kill each other.

- Bloodthirsty monsters.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a conspiracy, but behind the conspiracy, no one can see the black hands that manipulate everything.
