The box was quiet, except for the sound of Zero drinking beer, and Richard was rarely silent, a pair of dead fish eyes staring at Zero tightly, as if trying to see something out of him. Zero let him look at it, as if he didn't pay attention to his eyes.

After a while, Richard tapped his finger on the table and said, "It's really hard to see your depth, but it's not enough." ”

"Do you want to fight again?" said Zero, with a bit of a headache.

Richard smiled and said, "I think I'm afraid of attracting military interference." So I can only think about it. ”

He licked his lips and said, "It's okay to fight, but at least, you have to show us Liliang, right? Show that Liliang, who is enough to confirm your identity!"

Zero shook his head categorically and said, "I don't believe it, if I release all my energy, it will attract unnecessary attention." Now, it's not time to be exposed. ”

"I didn't say it was here. Richard looked at Gordon and said, "Old man, ask your son a favor." I knew he would do it. ”

Gordon snorted, but stood up and walked towards the door, "Wait for my news." ”

"Who is his son?"

Waiting for Gordon to leave, Zero asked.

Richard bit the cork of a bottle of beer with his teeth, picked it up and poured it into his mouth. After drinking too much, he exhaled a breath of wine and said, "His son is Blackwing, and his Silent Order and I, as well as Wallace's loyal dog, divide the night of this city. At the same time, that kid with Blackwing is the one I hate the most perceptual ability, so I know he'll have a way to cover up your energy aura. ”

Leaving the Prancing Horse Bar, Gordon walked the streets of the Free Zone with ease. Soon, he was on the edge of Area A.

The free zone may seem like a huge complexity, but in fact it has its own boundaries. The three edges of the area are divided into three areas: A, B, and C. All three areas are forbidden areas in the free zone. The night of Sin City is divided between Shili, who occupies the three forbidden areas.

They are Richard's Bloodblade, Wallace's Ruby Club, and Blackwing's Order of Silence.

Area A is where Blackwing's base camp is located, and stepping into this area has no chance of being noisy. The terrain is open, with a greystone-paved street winding into the depths of Zone A. There are strange trees with twisted foliage on both sides of the street, and they are full of shadows, making the area look very eerie at night. Behind these strange trees, there is occasionally a little fire.

Where the fire shines, it is an ordinary house, and the members of the Order of Discipline live like ascetics every day. They believe that being pure in themselves will lead to their own salvation, and Black Wing is their ultimate faith. When black wings envelop the entire Sin City, all sins are forgiven. As such, the Order of the Silent Order is always committed to promoting their ideas, but the inhabitants of Sin City don't buy them.

The location of the Black Wing is at the end of the long gray path, where the Sanctuary of Black Silence is located.

The Church of Silence is a very distorted building, with the appearance of an abstracted church. The overall image is slanted and curved, giving people a sense of oppressive, silent pain. The sanctuary was designed and supervised by Blackwing. After the construction of the Church of Silence, he lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public. Even his father, Gordon, rarely saw his son.

When Gordon saw the blackened building at the end of the long road from afar, full of twisted pain, the old man sighed slightly. Only he understands that the Black Silence Sanctuary is actually a psychological portrayal of Black Wing's own psychology, which represents the pain and shame of Black Wing's life.

Not many people know who Blackwing really is, only that Blackwing already existed when there was Sin City. At that time, there was not even the madman Richard and there was no loyal dog Wallace.

As Blackwing's father, Gordon certainly understands.

Black Wing, actually

"The first chief of the Knights of the Holy Seal?"

In the bar, when he heard Black Wing's former identity from Richard's mouth, Zero was shocked and inexplicable. For a long time, he thought that Sauron, the chief head of the Holy Seal Knights, was the first leader, but he didn't expect that Sauron was still the second?

"Well, although it's a little hard to believe. But this is Sin City, and no matter how strange it is, it's not unusual. It's just that the chief of the Weishenme Knights will become a criminal himself?" said Zero with a frown.

"Because Sauron is on the side of justice. Richard sneered and said, "That's the story I heard from Old Man Gordon, anyway, it's nothing to do now, so I'll tell you about it." ”

Fifteen years ago, the head of the Knights of the Holy Seal was Blackwing instead of Sauron, who was just an aide-de-camp. But as a young man, Zoro was already ambitious, and when one day he found out that his Liliang had surpassed Black Wing, he resolutely launched a mutiny. The first thing Zoro dealt with was Black Wing, who was a person with the ability to perceive the domain, and this type of ability was not known for its combat power. He was attacked by Sauron again, and Blackwing almost lost his life.

He was stabbed through the throat by Sauron, but miraculously did not die. Sauron thus spared his life, and after seizing power, he threw Black Wing into the then-unfinished prison of Thebes, marked as a criminal. In this way, Black Wing became the first prisoner of Thebes prison.

Sauron didn't kill him, he tried to torture him. Let him see how everything he was guarding fell into the hands of Zoro, and more importantly, the knife that didn't kill Black Wing back then, but deprived him of his voice, thus leaving Black Wing to live in a silent hell of pain.

For Black Wing, his trampled dignity and justice, and the voice he was deprived of, everything was the greatest shame in his life. Black Wing is still alive, living so painfully, just waiting for his chance to take revenge on Zoro. Even if it is like this, it is more than ten years of time.

But......

"Here's your chance. "Standing in front of the Silent Chapel, looking at the twisted door, it was like seeing the anguished heart of my own son. Gordon said in a deep voice, "Blackwing, it's time to break free from this prison. Now, the opportunity has finally arrived. With that, he strode towards the main entrance, pushing open the cold, heavy door with his hand.

Behind the door is a dimly lit passageway, flanked by abstract sculptures of the human body, all by Black Wing. And no matter what kind of sculpture they are, they don't have heads. Right at the neck of the sculpture, there are torches. The Church of Silence refuses to use any form of energy, and its lighting is only in the oldest way, and torches are one of them.

The two rows of torches illuminated the path Gordon was taking, and after connecting the two gates, the Hall of Agony, the central hall leading to the Church of Silence, was already in sight. The hall of pain was separated from the passage by a copper-skinned door, and the door was filled with human faces twisted in pain. They were men and women, old and young, and made all sorts of terrible moaning expressions. It was as if for countless nights in this sanctuary, these faces were screaming silently!

Gordon pushed open the door with a heavy heart, and immediately a clammy air slipped out of the door. As if licked head-on by a cold snake, Gordon couldn't help but shrink his body before squeezing into the hall of pain.

The Hall of Pain is filled with murals and decorations of various religious significances, but the colors are mostly dark, so these decorations do not look very comfortable. In contrast to the normal teaching, the four corners of the dome of the hall are not decorated with angels, but gargoyles representing the night and evil.

Combined with the four columns that support the hall, they look like loyal guards of the hall at first glance.

In the middle of the dome of the Hall of Pain is a bronze brazier that hangs from the dome and hangs in mid-air. Inside, flames raged and lit up the entire hall. The brazier was surrounded by a circle of skulls, and the light of the fire shone through the eyes of these skeletons, like the sight of these dead things.

The whole hall was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, and at the end of the door, a thin figure turned his back to Gordon. It was a man, draped in a floor-length white robe, with golden tassels of military style on his shoulders. The back of the robe is painted with a black pattern of a demon and an inverted cross. The pattern and the color of the robe provide a striking contrast that cannot be deliberately ignored.

He is Blackwing, the master of the Sanctuary of Silence. In front of Black Wing is a huge mural, a painting with an entire wall in the background, depicting the war between angels and demons. In ordinary religious frescoes, when it comes to the subject matter of the battle between light and darkness, the angels are usually at the top and the demons are at the bottom. After all, heaven is above and hell is below.

However, in the huge painting in front of Black Wing's eyes, light and darkness are obviously reversed. The demon flew from the thick dark clouds towards the ground. And the angels took off from the earth to meet the countless hideous and vicious demons. The lives of these two completely different camps converged in mid-air, colliding with countless blood flowers. From a distance, a diagonal line of blood crossed the wall, and a tragic killing machine came to the face.

Gordon's face turned slightly pale, and every time he walked into this hall and saw Black Wing fill every corner of the huge painting with his own hand, he felt a pang of discomfort. This painting seems to be Black Wing's state of mind, so judging from the picture, isn't his heart full of bloody murderous intentions.

Once it erupts, will it be like the blood line that divides the world in the picture, and the blood will flow like a river?

"Why are you here?"

Black Wing's voice sounded directly in Gordon's head, and after being robbed of his voice by Zoro fifteen years ago, Black Wing could only use the Spirit Rainbow Bridge to communicate with people. Gordon is no stranger to this method of communication. Instead of responding in his head, he said, "I'll bring you a message." ”

There was a moment of silence for Black Wing.

This is what Gordon has always been a habit of, and Black Wing knows that Gordon is doing this to keep reminding himself that he has every chance to live like a normal person. But you know that the flame in your heart has not disappeared because of the passage of time, but has become more and more intense. Black Wing faintly felt that this flame would one day burn himself to ashes along with this life.

He only hoped that before this ending came, he would have the opportunity to make a decision with that man.

"Black Wing!"

Gordon had forgotten how long it had been since he had called his son by his real name, but when the former Legion Commander had become a criminal, he had long since left the past. The only thing still alive today is Blackwing.

His father's time brought him back to his senses, and Black Wing continued to say in Gordon's mind, "I'm listening!"

"Today is a special day because there is a special man in the city. ”

"I know. Blackwing continued to paint: "His name is Rafael, and he just killed Raymond, one of Richard's men, and he barely got to a draw with the madman. In recent years, he is indeed a special man. But that's about it. ”

"Of course it's more than that, do you know who he is?" said Gordon excitedly, "He's not Rafe, he's Zero, the Zero who took those pirates from Roaring Bay to Rock City!"

Black Wing was shocked, and suddenly turned around, and his voice shouted in Gordon's mind like thunder: "How did he get here?"

Gordon's face turned pale and his body staggered.

Black Wing began to feel out of shape, and quickly reined in his majesty and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." You...... Are you alright?"

Gordon smiled and said, "It's been a long time since you've cared so much about me. ”

Black Wing was silent, and in the firelight, he could be seen wearing half of the mask on his face. The mask is the image of a falcon that obscures most of Blackwing's face. The mask had been in place since he appeared in Sin City, and it wasn't simply hung on his face, but Black Wing had branded it alive in a way that almost killed himself. Looking at this mask, Gordon sighed in his heart, he had almost forgotten what his son really looked like.

Moments later, Gordon got down to business. Zero's intention and his intention to cooperate are brought out together. He also mentioned that Richard still has some doubts about his identity and Zuihou, hoping to determine Zero's strength with the help of Black Wing. After saying that, Gordon said, "This is a rare opportunity, Black Wing. Regardless of whether Zero succeeds in rescuing his friend, it is bound to alarm Zoro. As long as he shows up......"

"Then I'll screw his head!" Blackwing's voice continued to ring in Gordon's head, only this time he had some control, but the anger hidden in his voice still shook the old man's dizziness.

Black Wing said again: "Richard, this madman, even has a time to be cautious. Well, you go and tell them. Let them come to the Silent Sanctuary tomorrow night, and I'll give the kid named Zero a stage to show. I promise, no one will sense his liliang aura, not even Wallace!"

"They'll love to hear that. Gordon nodded and turned to leave.

As he closed the bronze door to the Hall of Pain, Gordon saw Black Wing continue painting. He had been painting this painting for many years, and it seemed that it was time to finish it.

Even during the day, there is no one in the free zone. Of course, being able to stay in the free zone during the day will not be ordinary residents. Three areas on the edge of the Free Zone became the preserve of Richard, Blackwing, and Wallace. They can also stay in their area during the day, while keeping a limited number of personnel with them for calling.

It's just that these three have completely different styles.

Blackwing's Order of Silence mostly stays in their homes or in the Silent Sanctuary during the day, and they have no sense of presence like ghosts. And Richard's blood-dripping blade, usually at this time, is basically sleeping, or sleeping with a woman in his arms. As for Richard himself, he was more of a cuddle with a bottle.

A little more normal should be Wallace, a strongman from Sin City, but he put down his dignity and was willing to call himself a loyal dog of the military in exchange for privileges that the other two did not have, as well as a certain degree of protection from the military.

Wallace's Ruby Club is home to a number of notorious criminals, and Wallace is more of a true villain than a madman like Richard or a bitter poet who lives like Black Wing. Even if he is gentle and elegant, he has the demeanor of a scholar. But in fact, he is a person who does all kinds of evil.

Before he came to Sin City, he was a well-known slave trader on the outer islands. Later, he was engaged in drugs, arms, assassination and other businesses. In the end, he was released by the Pope's Hall and fled to Sin City, where he was able to save his life. He is the giant who appeared in Sin City after Black Wing. Before the madman Richard appeared, the entire city was almost evenly divided between him and Blackwing.

It's just that Black Wing has a lot more to do. As long as Wallace's people don't enter the realm of the Black Silent Sanctuary, Blackwing won't bother with anything. That period can be said to be Wallace's most glamorous time, until a madman Richard came. The man who didn't follow the rules at all and stepped on Wallace's bottom line repeatedly was indeed a troublesome person.

Although at the beginning, Wallace did make a ruthless attempt to get rid of Richard. Hateful, he's not sensible enough. Richard could have given his life, but he couldn't. So after compromises again and again, Sin City became the current situation.

It was early in the morning, and Wallace was sitting in his study. On the table was a cup of coffee with a faint smoke on it, and the giant, known to the people of Sin City, was dressed in a waistcoat and glasses like a scholar in his forties, and was looking at a light screen on the table with interest. In the light screen was the picture of Richard and Zero fighting, and Wallace maintained the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, so he didn't see the hot live broadcast of the martial arts gym last night.

Next to Wallace is a tall woman, 180CM tall, and her figure is a perfect golden ratio. Wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and stepping on a pair of blood-red high heels, she looks like a sexy office beauty. However, the woman's expression was indifferent, and from those gray eyes, it seemed that the whole shijie was lifeless.

In this woman's eyes, all she saw was a mountain of corpses and bones, and she exuded the smell of death all over her body.

Her name is Philine, but more people are willing to call her Philin of Grey. She is Wallace's number one killer and an extremely dangerous woman. It is said that Richard once said that the only person in Sin City who didn't want to fight was the woman in front of him. But I don't know, whether it's because Richard is afraid of her strength, or simply because she doesn't want to fight women, then it is unknown.

Wallace pointed to Zero in the light screen and said, "Firin, what do you think of this guy?"

"I don't know. Fei Lin cherished the words like gold and said: "Only if you have beaten it, you will be clear!"
