Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 68 Sin City

Tong Rui strode forward and observed the black city.

The thick black city wall was extremely wide, and above the city, a purple moon was hanging. The moon was very low, and it seemed that it was less than 500 meters from the ground. Looking up, everything was black, just like the existence of night.

"Tsk, the City of Slaughter. Let's see if this city can bring me any surprises."

It is rumored that the City of Slaughter has been formed for a thousand years, and it is the domain left behind by a powerful soul master after breaking through level 100. Then in this thousand-year-old city, maybe we can get a glimpse of the magic array related to the Shura God period, or something else.

Walking into the city gate with the four big words "City of Killing" hanging high, a woman with a black veil on her face walked out from inside the gate.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter." The woman's voice was very pleasant. She came in front of Tong Rui, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation.

The Slaughter City only restricted spirit rings, so except for the Slaughter King, almost no one could be Tong Rui's opponent, so Tong Rui followed the woman into the city gate with an observation mentality. Perhaps because of the identity card in his hand, no one stopped him.

Walking into the city, Tong Rui saw a blue-purple world. The lights hanging on both sides of the street only emitted these two kinds of light. Tong Rui ignored the woman and walked under a light, releasing his mental power to explore its structure.

There were quite a few people here, and no one paid attention to him as an outsider. Except that everything seemed so dark, at first glance, it seemed no different from an ordinary city.

"I am your explainer. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Within twelve hours, I will answer all your questions. After twelve hours, this is where you live. You also Will officially become a member of Killing City.”

Seeing that Tong Rui ignored her, the woman couldn't help but remind him.

Tong Rui nodded and asked, "Have the buildings and structures here been like this for thousands of years?"

The black-veiled girl said, "Yes, this is the domain left behind by a powerful soul master who broke through level 100. Here, all soul master skills cannot be used, and people can only survive by relying on instinct and their own soul power. So no one can defy the King of Slaughter and change this place."

Tong Rui asked: "So this means that this was originally a real city, but it became a paradise of sin after being covered by the domain. So there must be some kind of collection of books or classics here."

The black-veiled girl was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression: "That's right, Mr. 8848, but this is a paradise of sin and depravity."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tong Rui: "It doesn't matter, just take me to where these books are."

"In that case, please follow me." After hearing this, the black-veiled girl led Tong Rui into the city. She kept a steady pace and always followed Tong Rui, just a little faster than Tong Rui by half a step.

Tong Rui was not in a hurry to enter the road to hell, but just quietly observed everything around him.

As I was walking, a figure suddenly stood up in a dark corner on the side of the road.

"Hey, newcomer. You look tender and delicate, but I don't know what it feels like. Hahahaha." Everyone around burst into laughter.

Looking at the group of people who were laughing without seeing their eyes, Tong Rui sneered, and looking at the skinny and mocking person in front of him, he raised his hand and sent him to the death with a sword. The black-veiled girl knew Tong Rui's ability and said, "In addition to experiencing a battle in the hell killing field every year, there is another way to live in the killing city for another year, which is to contribute two glasses of bloody mary every month."

The two walked all the way to the inner city, and Tong Rui asked: "What is the difference between the outer city and the inner city?"

"The inner city is a place where there are truly no rules. Those who contribute to Bloody Mary's survival can only move around in the outer city, and random killing is not allowed in the outer city." The girl replied.

"Only those warriors who survived the killing fields of hell are qualified to live in the inner city. Of course, the enjoyment you can get there is greater than outside, but you will also face the test of death at any time."

In the outer city of the Killing City, there were simple black stone houses on both sides of the street. Every few blocks, there were some places dedicated to eating. Many people lined up there waiting for food. In a sense, they were just a little better than beggars.

As for the so-called paradise of sin and the so-called enjoyment, they simply did not exist. The inner city was much more prosperous, but it also had no bottom line.

The city gate was wide open, and there were no guards. The black-veiled girl introduced to Tong Rui indifferently: "The inner city does not need guards. People from the outer city can go in at any time as long as they have the courage to go in. Of course, once they are inside, they will have to endure the unknowns of the world inside."

"You have just arrived in the City of Slaughter. I suggest that you live in the outer city for a while. Once you are used to everything here, it is better to enter the inner city. In this inner city, please do not leave me within five meters, otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety."

Tong Rui did not speak, but just observed the surrounding buildings. On some buildings, he could even vaguely feel the presence of the soul guide's fluctuations.

As for the people mating and killing on the road, Tong Rui was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, he got used to it.

Soon they arrived at an ancient building. Looking at the books placed everywhere, the scattered pages and the collapsed bookshelves, Tong Rui asked, "Can I take the books here with me?"

The black-veiled girl said, "Of course you can. There are no rules here. But I want to remind you that it's not that no one has tried to research ways to leave the Slaughter City, but no one has succeeded so far."

Tong Rui did not explain the girl's thoughts, but asked: "Are these the only books here?"

Seeing that Tong Rui didn't take it seriously, the girl didn't try to persuade him and said, "Also, isn't there any book here that you want to read?"

After hearing this, Tong Rui released his soul power, absorbed all the books, opened the treasure house of time and space and put all the books into it.

He turned to the stunned girl and said, "Come on, let's go to the next place."

After saying that, Tong Rui walked out of the door first. The people around him immediately looked at Tong Rui, but then as the girl in black veil walked beside Tong Rui, everyone looked away.

Some people remembered Tong Rui's appearance and then looked for their next target.
