High above the periphery of Cloud City, there is always a dark and oppressive atmosphere.

A mortal in the clouds was born here, grew up here, multiplied here, and died again. The "lower mortals" in the marginal lands did not have the life-prolonging elixir rewarded by the city lord, nor did they have the money to buy better medicines, so they generally died early.

Except for the child's face, which still has some vitality that doesn't know anything, all the people here are numb and accustomed to pain.

When Lin Yue walked among the dirty shantytowns, everyone she saw was the same as her, and those of them who were born and raised here were even more numb than Lin Yue, because they had been branded as "inferior" since birth.

Or someone who is frowning and sighing.

Obviously, this is a heavenly city, and the name sounds good, but in fact what is the difference between it and the city on earth? There is no less oppression and suffering, and even the people here are more accustomed to being numb and endure everything.

It was dark today, and the rain brought a more gloomy atmosphere to the area.

You can only see a smile that doesn't understand anything, a little cheerfulness, and a helpless, reluctant smile in the face of a child who doesn't know anything.

Cloud City doesn't treat kids too harshly, but it's just compared to other ages. Because of the child, there will be mortals in Cloud City, and bringing mortals up from the ground is obviously not the city lord's liking, because there is some trouble. And the descendants of the people of a small country that the city lord saved by accident were left here by him to reproduce and become the "playthings" of the city lord.

The White Bone City Lord himself is a cold-hearted person, and he also wants to see these mortals cold and numb, he controls the lives of the mortals in Cloud City, and can wantonly make them become what he wants to see.

But the White Bone City Lord is also a strange-minded person, on the one hand, he wants to see others cold-hearted and numb, and it is best for mortals to be like Lin Yue who only want to live, lose all hope and brilliance in their eyes, and become a puppet, while he sometimes has extreme disgust for those mortals who have no color on their bodies, only gray and are not as cold and numb as puppets.

Just like he himself is like a handful of snow and a piece of ice on a snowy mountain, extremely cold, but he often wears red clothes like fire, as if only the fox fur made of the red fox's skin can make him feel warmer.

The moth fights the fire, but the light that yearns for the fire is burned by the fire, and finally kills itself. I wonder if the Bone City Lord will be the same as that moth?

The gloomy and numb atmosphere at the edge of Cloud City also affected Lin Yue, making her even more sluggish. They, these people, are like rats living in underground gutters.

Lin Yue didn't hold an umbrella, and thin rains fell from the dark gray sky and fell on her. This is the city in the clouds, and the girl is going to go through here to a place today.

She had a new job to do, though she didn't care what she was going to do next.

It doesn't matter what you do, it doesn't matter what you do if you can't get out of here.

After passing through the dilapidated houses on the edge, she was once again in the middle of Cloud City after many days.

Avoid crowded places, the way some people here look at the girl makes her feel chills.

The rain became heavier, and the girl just let the rain fall on her body and hit her head.

She walked away from those who were higher than her, but not as high as her, and walked for an unknown amount of time, until she finally reached the place where she needed to go.

“...... Righteousness...... Village. ”

The rain slid down his cheeks and into his mouth.

She was hesitating whether to move forward, whether to enter the courtyard.

This Yizhuang looks huge.

She wasn't afraid of ghosts, but she ...... Because of a reason that makes people feel extremely sad.

In the half year of this cloud city, she has been worn away from all her courage and courage, she knows where she can enter and where she can't enter, and she knows that if she says more, she may be exchanged for pain in her body, and she has become a completely numb puppet.

So the girl just stood in a corner next to the outer gate of the courtyard of Yizhuang, she didn't dare to let herself be too conspicuous, and she didn't dare to go in.

What she hid in her heart was not only the fear of being scared at the beginning, the courage and hope that were worn out, but also the so many coffins placed in the huge courtyard. Someone else ...... Is it dead? Such a sight reminded her that she herself did not know when she would die by some mistake, alone in this city above the clouds.

So she let the rain fall on her head, and she only hid herself in the corner.

...... It's cold, it's raining.

......

I don't know when the people guarding the gate will come back.

The girl thought numbly.

That's why she didn't notice that the rain on her head had been blocked and hadn't fallen again.

"Hmm, what are you doing here, it's so cold outside, why don't you go in?"

Lin Yue heard,

A very gentle voice.
