There were many men in black at the dock to meet the team. Leading them was a sturdy middle-aged man with a hideous old scar on his face, and his fierceness was evident in his expression.

And he is the captain of the dark guard beside the city lord, Mo Lang.

Seeing Lin Wu, Ren Ke and Ling Xiu appear on the bow, he moved where he had been standing for a long time and walked forward, watching the three of them coming down from the deck. There were also many people following behind them, all staring at Lin Wu vigilantly and cautiously.

When their eyes met, Ren Ke's expression grew darker.

Lin Wu smiled instead, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Lord Mo Lang is usually so busy with all sorts of affairs that he doesn't even have time to rest. Now he actually came to pick me up in person, which really makes me flattered. It turns out that the city lord thinks so highly of me."

Ren Ke couldn't help but whispered, "Just shut up, do you think this is a good thing?!"

She then stepped forward and faced Mo Lang head-on.

"I will obey the city lord's orders. But I have also been ordered by the deputy city lord to take this traitor back for punishment, and I cannot disobey. In this case, I will go with you, and after the city lord has finished speaking, I will take her back to report."

"Everyone knows that the city lord has always been good to the deputy city lord. I think he will not bear to see the deputy city lord tossing and turning all the time because of the traitor. He will definitely let the deputy city lord see it with his own eyes so that he can feel at ease."

Ran Molang didn't even look at Ren Ke, and said calmly: "The city lord has ordered that the deputy city lord's people don't have to go. In the past, An Sheng caused serious losses to Killer City. This matter will be handled by the city lord."

Ren Ke's heart skipped a beat. "Does the city lord want to leave An Sheng with him? This is not good. An Sheng originally lived with the deputy city lord. If he stays here, he might disturb the city lord..."

Mo Lang suddenly turned to Ren Ke.

"When will it be the turn of the subordinates to question the city lord?"

Ren Ke's heart tightened, and he lowered his head and said, "I dare not."

Mo Lang then looked at Lin Wu and stepped aside, "Let's go."

Lin Wu glanced at Ren Ke and stepped forward.

Mo Lang turned around and followed.

Ling Xiu followed him, but when she passed Ren Ke, she suddenly heard Ren Ke whisper, "Don't forget, you were originally the former deputy city lord's man. You should know what the city lord did."

Ling Xiu paused, without looking at Ren Ke, and followed without any expression.

Lin Wu in front tilted his head slightly, curled the corner of his mouth, said nothing, and followed Mo Lang leisurely.

The night today is unusually dark and depressing.

Mo Lang brought them to a black lake. On the opposite bank stood several castles with a strong ancient atmosphere, full of the European mystery of the last century. Dim lights poured down from the windows of the castles, and were reflected on the calm lake surface. It was inexplicably covered with a fuzzy veil and hidden among the clusters of strange mountains and dry forests, majestic and magnificent.

There is a long bridge made of dead branches and vines on the east side of the Black Lake.

The crowd crossed the bridge and walked through the woods, and at the end was the castle gate.

After arriving, Mo Lang and Ling Xiu stopped, asked the men in black who followed them to guard outside, and only took Lin Wu in.

When you push open the door, the first thing you see is a huge hall, and opposite there is a long staircase leading to the second floor.

Lin Wu was led by them to walk up the stairs on the right, then went up to the second floor and followed the corridor to the end, then took the stairs straight up to the fifth floor and stopped in front of a wall.

A soft and thick black and red ancient carpet is hung on the wall, and there are reliefs supported by columns on both sides.

Mo Lang went to the relief on the left and turned the lifelike jade Pi on it.

With a few muffled "clicks", the ancient carpet on the wall sank into the ground, and the exposed stone bricks moved and changed rapidly, turning into a secret door. Inside was a dark corridor, and the end could not be seen for a while.

"The city lord is inside." Mo Lang said lightly, standing to one side with his hands behind his back, with no intention of going in.

Lin Wu turned to look at Ling Xiu, but she didn't move and just nodded at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu suppressed his thoughts and went in calmly.

The moment she stepped in, the corridor was suddenly lit up with a dim yellow light. It turned out that there were four-cornered bronze chandeliers every two meters on the walls on both sides.

At the same time, Lin Wu discovered that the passage behind him also closed.

She looked back and saw only the wall.

This made Lin Wu stand there for a long time.

To be honest, she had been dealing with the Killer City for thirteen of the eighteen years she had lived. But she had never seen the City Lord in person, nor had she ever been to the City Lord's residence before.

This is the first time.

Even among the Eighteen Rakshasas, she had only come into contact with five of them.

Because the top eight are directly under the orders of the city lord. Normally, if there is no order from the city lord, they basically do not show up, and all the affairs of the ghost camps are handled by their subordinates. They do not interact with other Rakshasa ghost camps and are extremely low-key.

In addition, the garrisons of the first eight Rakshasas and their ghost camps are not in the main urban area of ​​Killer City. Only a small number of forces are stationed in the southern suburbs, and the rest are missing, and only the city lord knows.

Normally, the outskirts of the city are a restricted area and outsiders are not allowed to go there without a warrant from the city lord.

There was no direct contact, so the other people in Killer City never knew what they were doing for the city lord.

Among the remaining ten Rakshasas, three are leading people to carry out missions outside, two are lurking outside to select suitable personnel to send to Killer City, and the remaining five and the deputy city lord are the main force to maintain the operation of Killer City and handle most of the affairs.

Thinking of this, Lin Wu suddenly realized something——

According to her estimation, a Rakshasa has nearly a hundred people in the Ghost Camp, and the number varies. Some may even have four or five hundred people because of the complexity of the affairs they are responsible for! So the eighteen together, there are at least four thousand people! But in her impression, she has never seen the number of people in the Killer City exceed seven or eight hundred.

Not to mention that over the years, the Tenth Rakshasas and the Thirteenth Rakshasas have been sending people to the Killer City. After she took over the Nine Rakshasas, she secretly looked at the list and found that they sent at least a few hundred people to the Killer City every year!

She also glanced at the list of assassins sent out by the Killer City when Fan took over as the deputy city lord, but there were only about a hundred people.

So where did most of Killer City's power go?

Lin Wu looked up and looked forward. Could it be related to the disappearance of the first eight Rakshasas sent by the city lord? If so, who is the city lord? What is he doing with so many people? But it was also strange. If the city lord really had so many people to command, it meant that his power and status were unquestionable. Then why did he need to use her and Fan to eliminate the former deputy city lord?

The light on the wall became dimmer and dimmer, as if urging Lin Wu to move forward.

Lin Wu calmed himself down slightly and took a step forward.

The corridor was very long and there was a turn at the end. Lin Wu turned several times and the road he was walking on seemed to be heading upwards.

This made Lin Wu feel like this seemed to be a circular staircase that kept climbing upwards. She should have reached the height of three floors before finally reaching the end and stopping in front of a black and gold door with luxurious carvings.

Lin Wu hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened! With a creaking sound, a simple and luxurious hall appeared in front of Lin Wu, like a reception room.

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, and felt alert.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a burning pain on her shoulder! Lin Wu subconsciously touched her left shoulder, and her heart skipped a beat - her tattoo had come out!

how?

Is the city lord going to kill her here?

Just as Lin Wu was hesitating, a hoarse and muffled voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female suddenly sounded from inside, as if it came through something.

"Now that you're here, why don't you come in?"

"Are you afraid that this city lord will take action against you?"

It's the city lord.

Lin Wu took a deep breath and stepped in.

"Bang——", the door closed by itself again.

Lin Wu paused slightly, suppressed the urge to look, and turned towards the source of the sound.

The room was rather dim, with only the bronze chandeliers on the wall burning with candle oil providing a barely visible space.

Lin Wu saw a thick black curtain slowly descending to the ground not far away, blocking the scene inside.

The city lord is inside.

Lin Wu also felt his tattoo getting hotter and hotter.

She squeezed her palms and walked forward.

However, when she reached out to draw back the curtain, the previous voice sounded again.

"Think it over before you come back and take a look."

"Otherwise... this city lord will not give you a chance to regret it."
