Chapter 345: Three Gods Gone from Four Cities

"Even the city where Brother Xiu lives has no gods anymore?" Zhong Mu was obviously a little surprised, and he counted silently. "There are four cities. If Brother Xiu's city really has no gods, then only Boss Ye's city still has gods."

"Three gods left four cities...where did all these gods go?"

"I'm not sure whether there are gods in my city. I will go and confirm it myself first. You should contact Ye Tianxuan from time to time and ask about his situation. The gods definitely know the information about the man we are looking for. You should find the way to other cities in your city and then meet up in Ye Tianxuan's city." Yin Xiu explained slowly.

"I have other things to do here, so I'll go get busy first."

With that, he cut off the communication.

Li Mo, who was about to take advantage of the last few sentences to chat with his boyfriend, looked at Zhong Mu silently, with a resentful look in his eyes, as if Zhong Mu had occupied his chat time with his boyfriend.

Zhong Mu was sweating profusely. "I was just chatting with Brother Xiu about important information. I wanted to return it to you after we were done, but he just cut us off."

Li Mo smiled slightly and said, "I'm not in a good mood. I'm going to go swim in the river."

"No! Don't turn into a monster! Maintain your human form!" Zhong Mu screamed. There was no one around at the moment, and he was not afraid of being seen by others. But the problem was that Zhong Mu himself could not stand his non-human form, and he was the only one suffering.

But Li Mo turned a deaf ear to Zhong Mu's screams.

The first day without my boyfriend! I miss him!!

If he hadn't been ordered by his boyfriend to protect Zhong Mu, he would have rushed to Yin Xiu overnight, even across several cities.

Although he had sent out a small tentacle No. 3 to look for Yin Xiu since he found out that his boyfriend was not around in this world, the journey was too long and he couldn't reach his boyfriend in a while. He could only listen to his boyfriend's voice first.

The black monster swam back and forth in the Forgotten City full of waterways, while Zhong Mu squatted on the shore with his eyes covered.

Yin Xiu followed Yin Tianrui to the small base he mentioned, but considering the dilapidated state of this half of the city, the so-called small base was nothing more than an abandoned small house deep in the street.

Some slaves in red were coming in and out of the door. Everyone had a tired look on their face, and even had some visible scars. Their mental strength was extremely low, and the atmosphere on the street was completely different from where Yin Xiu had been before.

"Slaves...what do they mainly do?" Yin Xiu noticed that they had some marks on their bodies left by long-term work, such as sunburn, marks from strangulation, scars, and thick calluses. Almost all of them, regardless of gender, age or status, had them. It seemed that here, the elderly were not elderly, and the children were not children. They were all just tools to work.

"Well... there's no specific scope for slaves. All the hard work to maintain the living environment of Twin City is done unconditionally by slaves." Yin Tianrui rubbed his calloused palms, "If you're lucky, you'll be assigned some slightly easier work, but if you're unlucky, it's very tiring.

"Normal citizens of Twin City don't have to work. Merchants sell food, which is grown by slaves. Tailors also make new fabrics, and slaves do everything from growing silk to weaving it. Normal citizens of Twin City just need to enjoy life. If they don't want to, they don't have to work.

"If you don't want to take care of the child, you can let the slaves take care of it. If you are in a bad mood, you can beat or scold the slaves. You can even do nothing and lie at home for a year, because every citizen of Twin City can get what they need from the slaves."

The Twin Cities environment that Yin Tianrui mentioned made Yin Xiu a little stunned.

"Is this the sheltered and happy life in the Twin Cities?" He frowned silently. "This happiness is built on the suffering of others."

The environment here is extremely extreme, and those who live a good life have it very smooth. That's because all the things that can cause trouble and fatigue are done by slaves. Without the slaves' bodies as the cornerstone of the Twin City, there is no such thing as a happy life.

The thin line between a life of ease and indignity is but a line of disrespect to God.

"Boss, you look very dissatisfied..." Yin Tianrui laughed dryly. "Are you from another city? It's normal that you are not used to the environment of Twin Cities. Once you enter Twin Cities, you are either in heaven or hell. We are used to it."

Yin Xiu glanced at his cheerfulness, not knowing whether it was genuine cheerfulness or more of a foolish expression. "Have you ever thought about leaving here? You'd rather escape from here than suffer as a slave for a lifetime."

"Well said, sir." Yin Tianrui clapped his hands with a smile, "Escape from Twin Cities! That's the path chosen by those who don't want to live anymore! Those who still want to live should stay here!"

"Will I die if I leave Twin City?" Yin Xiu thought of such a rule.

Rule Five of the Twin Cities: Do not leave the Twin Cities, and do not slander, speak ill of, or accuse God within the city.

Leaving the Twin Cities and disrespecting God are subject to the same rules, and are probably equally serious matters in the Twin Cities.

"That's right. Slaves who leave Twin City will be targeted by the evil spirits and will die immediately from the calamity. So in our eyes, it's no different from seeking death." Yin Tianrui politely opened the door of the cabin for Yin Xiu and invited him in. "Come on, boss, let's sit down and chat in our little base. If you have any questions, you can ask everyone and we'll have a more comprehensive answer."

Yin Tianrui opened the door and the people inside also peeked in curiously. There were not many people, just four or five, and each of them was looking at Yin Xiu.

Perhaps their personalities had already been smoothed down by this place, so when they saw the arrival of Yin Xiu, a stranger, they did not feel defensive or alert. They just watched him, a strange man who was not wearing red clothes, was not a slave, and was holding a knife, walking into the small base where they, the slaves, depended on each other for survival.

No one had any stress response. They had become accustomed to it and had lost the defense and rejection that ordinary people should have.

It’s like, if Yin Xiu drew his sword and killed someone right now, the others would just feel pity for the person being killed, but would have no intention of escaping, nor would they resist.

Everyone looked at Yin Xiu coming in, and immediately stood up to give up their seats, waiting for this noble man who was not a slave to take a seat.

Yin Xiu did not sit down, but stood and looked at them. Behind one of the men, he caught a glimpse of a little boy who looked no more than seven or eight years old.

Yin Tianrui squatted down and clapped his hands towards the little boy, "Come, Zheng, come to your brother."

The little boy glanced at Yin Xiu, then moved to Yin Tianrui's side and grabbed Yin Tianrui's trouser leg. "Brother, who is this? Are you here to choose a slave?"

"This is the big guy my brother brought back!" Yin Tianrui said proudly.

Then he told the others in the room what Yin Xiu had just done over there, and how he had killed twenty or thirty divine messengers by himself.

The more the people in the room listened, the more stunned and panicked they became.

"He...he killed the divine messenger?"

No one cared about how Yin Xiu killed so many gods' messengers alone. To them, this incident was not as terrifying as Yin Xiu killing the gods' messengers.

"He will be chosen by the evil god... He will die soon..."

"Ah...why would you do such a thing? What's wrong with you?"

For a moment, everyone in the room looked at Yin Xiu with pity.
