?.Chapter 19Thank you readers!
1986 This place is not friendly _
Tang Zhen wasn’t in a hurry to enter the shop. The current situation was unclear. If he rashly entered, who knew what kind of danger he would encounter?
He wasn’t worried that the dwarf would escape. No matter how he looked at it, there was only one exit in the building. Even if the dwarf wanted to escape, he probably had no other way.
Moreover, both parties did not have an irreconcilable enmity. That dwarf was just unlucky and managed to Rob Tang Zhen. However, he did not expect that Tang Zhen’s strength would be so powerful.
At this moment, the most depressed one would be that dwarf, who would lose all his money and would be chased.
According to Tang Zhen’s guess, this kind of act of robbing newbies should be quite common in this place. Therefore, those fellows would fight to be the first to rush over after seeing him.
the most important thing now is to figure out what this place is and then make plans.
It was not a good idea to just wait. Therefore, Tang Zhen’s eyes swept around, wanting to find someone to understand the situation here.
However, after the battle just now, the pedestrians on the street had all fled. In addition, the alleys on both sides of the street were crisscrossing, and no one knew where they had run to.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He slowly walked to the flower bed by the roadside and sat down. He began to wait quietly.
The flower bed he was sitting on was made of Indigo-colored stone. The soil in the flower bed was blood red in color, and the plants that grew on it were black and white, looking like twisted venomous snakes.
Looking at the surrounding environment, although there were also plants, the colors were dark and gloomy, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
Being in such an environment would cause one’s emotions to become extremely suppressed and manic. At the same time, a feeling of despair would quietly rise in one’s heart.
As time passed, this emotion would become more and more serious, and it would make people infinitely close to a state of collapse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe city of despair might have gotten its name from this.
A human figure suddenly poked his head out from a small alley not far away while Tang Zhen was carefully observing his surroundings. He vigilantly sized up his surroundings.
It was a thin woman, wearing dark gray old leather armor and a pair of long boots. Her long, white legs were exposed under her short robe.
Seeing that there was no one on the street, she seemed to be relieved, then she tiptoed out.
From the beginning to the end, she didn’t see that Tang Zhen was staring at her from the flower bed by the street.
The moment the emaciated lady stepped onto the street, Tang Zhen’s figure rushed over and grabbed her neck.
“Hey, let go of me, Yingluo bastard, damn it!”
The woman’s strength wasn’t very great. At this moment, when she fell into Tang Zhen’s hands, she was like a fragile chick that was lifted up by Tang Zhen.
It was as if Tang Zhen’s palm would be able to break her slender neck as long as he used a little force.
After struggling a few times, the woman’s strength was exhausted, and she could only give up resisting dejectedly.
Tang Zhen laughed softly upon seeing this. He casually threw her on the ground as though he had thrown away a mischievous cat.
The woman let out a painful groan after landing on the ground. Soon after, her mouth was tightly pursed together as she used a hateful gaze to look at Tang Zhen.
Looking at her appearance, it was as if she was quietly scolding Tang Zhen for being a beast.
However, after the woman’s eyes met Tang Zhen’s, she immediately shrunk her neck and pretended to be obedient.
However, Tang Zhen could tell that the muscles all over her body had already tensed up. She was just like a frightened cat that was observing its opponent. She could erupt and escape at any moment.
Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be somewhat similar to a human, but her skin was a little too fair. There were also traces of peach-red fine lines on the skin under her forehead.
The thing that attracted Tang Zhen the most was her lively eyes. They looked like two bright pearls that flickered with a watery luster.
It was just that this pair of eyes was filled with grievance and anger as if Tang Zhen was a fellow who was unpardonable.
The other party’s appearance was extremely similar to that of a human, causing Tang Zhen to have a better impression of her. He was not prepared to make things too difficult for her.
“Don’t be nervous. I just have some questions to ask you.”
The woman hurriedly nodded after hearing Tang Zhen’s words. She appeared to be extremely obedient.
“First, tell me, what is this place?”
The thin girl revealed a surprised expression when she heard Tang Zhen’s question. After she seriously sized up Tang Zhen, a trace of superiority was actually revealed on her face.
“Hmph, so you’re a newbie!
How infuriating, a newbie actually dared to be so arrogant?
The most infuriating thing is that I’m being bullied by a newbie!”
The thin and weak girl snorted softly. It seemed like she wanted to show off her qualification as a senior. However, she immediately became dispirited when she saw the battle blade in Tang Zhen’s hand and his expression that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling.
She was well aware of her own strength, and it was impossible for her to use her power to suppress others. If she really did that, she would probably only be asking for humiliation.
Hence, under Tang Zhen’s unblinking gaze, the thin girl honestly replied,”This is the city of despair, a place of death without any hope, only endless despair.
When you enter this place, the pain will accompany you. The pain will only end when you die.”
The thin and weak girl gave a brief introduction. Although she did not express much information, this allowed Tang Zhen to clearly understand in his heart that this strange city was definitely not a good place.
The question was, why was he here?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he thought of this, Tang Zhen looked at the thin girl and asked in an indifferent tone, why do I feel like I’ve forgotten a lot of things? am I the only one who has forgotten, or is it the same for all of you? ”
The thin girl nodded and explained to Tang Zhen,”The city of despair is also known as The Forgotten City. Every despaired person who comes here has forgotten their past and doesn’t know where they came from.
However, there were still some despaired people who had a trace of memory left. They were generally doing well in the city of despair. Compared to most despaired people, they had more advantages.
By relying on their remaining memories, these despaired people have a greater advantage and can seek benefits for themselves.”
Tang Zhen nodded. If there was really such a person, then he was clearly one of them.
For such a situation to occur, it might be related to his own strength.
Although he couldn’t recall any memories of the past, Tang Zhen was certain that he was very strong before he entered this place!
As for how strong he was, he didn’t have a specific idea. However, enemies like dwarves were definitely not his match.
...
Now, his memories seemed to be separated by a layer of thick fog. Although he could not see the specific content, there was a kind of fuzzy feeling.
This feeling was of great help to him. It allowed him to make the most correct choice in the face of danger and difficulties, as if he had divine help.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Zhen pointed to the building behind him and asked the thin woman,”What’s with these houses? I saw that you all avoided them. Could it be that there’s something hidden in these buildings?”
A trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the thin woman when she heard Tang Zhen’s question. Her body trembled slightly as she looked at the light that was revealed through the crack in the door.
After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her voice and whispered to Tang Zhen,”There are ghosts in those houses, and they’re especially powerful. There’s an 80 to 90% chance that you’ll die Here.
However, if one survived, they would receive a pass. Moreover, if one collected enough passes, they would be qualified to head to the Super building at the end of the street.
As long as they could make it out of the Super building alive, they could head to the next block. It was said that the conditions there were better than here, and the deserters were stronger.
It is said that at the end of the street, there is a way to leave the city of despair. Of course, the premise is that you can make it there alive!”
