At this moment, Lin Wu didn't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to hear a faint rustling sound inside, as if something was moving slowly and rubbing against the ground.
There is no doubt that this movement at this moment is a bit strange.
But when Lin Wu listened carefully again, it was gone, as if it was really an illusion.
Lin Wu said he was not curious about the city lord, whom he had never met, and he didn't even believe him.
But the appearance of the tattoo reminded her of the danger, and she had no idea whether there was a secret in it that the city lord did not want to show to others.
And what the city lord said just now, meaning that she would die once she saw the things inside, and he didn't want to do it yet, and wanted to continue to cooperate, so he warned her? In the end, Lin Wu withdrew his hand and took a step back.
She looked at the layers of curtains and said slowly, "Now that I'm here, it seems that the city lord really understands what I mean. Is he going to cooperate?"
When the voice from inside came again, it was a little nonchalant.
"Why do you think this city lord wants to cooperate with you?"
"Don't forget, you are a traitor to Killer City. The damage you caused to Killer City has not yet been repaid by this city lord."
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows: "A few years ago, I got rid of the former deputy city lord and left. The city lord had great magical powers. If he wanted to attack me at that time, I seemed to have no chance to resist. But the city lord did not show up at that time, and only sent his personal guards to deal with it. Isn't this enough proof? If it is not enough, why did the city lord let Ling Xiu pick me up today?"
"Since the city lord has let me go once, I naturally have to return the favor. Smart people don't need to beat around the bush when talking. There's no need. City lord, just tell me what you want me to do this time and what you can give me."
The person inside seemed to find it interesting and laughed softly, but the sound that came out was hoarse, cold and oppressive.
"An Sheng, you seem to have forgotten your current situation."
"You have defected and returned. As long as this city lord wants, he can deal with you at any time."
"Even if you are working for this city lord, it is what you should do. Maybe this will make this city lord forgive you and not hold a grudge against you."
"So, where do you get the confidence to ask this city lord for something?"
Lin Wu said calmly: "You gave it to me, City Lord."
"oh?"
"Fan is not someone as easy to kill as the former deputy city lord. I don't know how much energy it will take to get rid of him. If you are not careful, you will be killed in return."
Lin Wu crossed his arms slowly and continued, "If there is no profit in doing such a thankless task, why should I do it? I might as well just lie down and take a vacation in Killer City."
"After all, even if I'm locked up, you can't just kill me. Unless you don't care about the outside world and my people come to trouble you. But it's better to avoid some troubles. After all, Killer City is not without money to support me as a freeloader."
"Then my fate is obvious. I will be imprisoned until someone comes to find me. Then you, the city lord, can decide whether to kill me or keep me. So why should I bother?"
After saying that, Lin Wu sat down right there, looking like a scoundrel who didn't want to work anymore.
"Of course, City Lord, you can kill me now. But I'm not afraid of death, and this can't threaten me." Lin Wu rested his elbows on his legs, supported his chin with his fingers, and said lazily.
The people inside seemed to be amused by her, "I can't threaten you, so you come to threaten this city lord?"
Lin Wu corrected: "It's a discussion, it's cooperation, how can it be a threat? I'm just laying out all the possibilities in front of you, the city lord, with sincerity, so that you can think carefully about how to choose. I have no objection to any choice."
"You are not willing to suffer any loss."
"It mainly depends on the city lord."
Lin Wu behaved very modestly and obediently.
The person inside snorted in an ambiguous manner.
Suddenly, there were several abrupt ringing sounds from the door.
Lin Wu keenly felt that the air pressure in the curtain suddenly dropped, and the entire room seemed to become several degrees colder.
The person inside said, "Okay, get out now. Ling Xiu will take care of you. When you have reflected on your actions, come back to see this city lord."
Lin Wu thought about it and asked tentatively: "What if I can't figure out the result of the city lord?"
"I think you, like Fan, are suitable for the Ice Prison. There is a place for eternal sleep there." The voice coming from inside had a light tone, but it concealed a chilling murderous intent.
Lin Wu said "oh" calmly, propped himself up, and walked towards the door thoughtfully.
Suddenly, the little finger seemed to be hooked, and a little coldness seemed to pass by and disappear in an instant.
Lin Wu immediately stopped and lowered his head.
Nothing at all.
She looked back again, and the curtain was still thick, silent and motionless.
The city lord's absent-minded hoarse voice came: "Why, are you going to reflect on it now?"
Lin Wu curled her fingertips slightly, wondering if she had been tense for too long and was really having an illusion?
The tattoo on his shoulder gradually faded, and Lin Wu came back to his senses, saying: "The city lord is quite good at dreaming. If you don't open the door, how can I leave?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became eerily quiet.
The huge door opened with a loud bang.
Lin Wu turned around and left.
Lin Wu stopped for some unknown reason, looked back at the door, and wondered how the city lord controlled it.
After looking for a long time without figuring out the solution, Lin Wu had no choice but to leave.
She didn't want to touch it. Considering the city lord's unpredictable behavior, it was possible that he had coated the door with poison or something.
This time Lin Wu walked very fast and soon reached the entrance.
As she approached, the secret door appeared automatically, revealing the outside.
Lin Wu looked up and paused slightly.
In addition to Mo Lang and Ling Xiu, there was also a man who looked very young.
He had long brow arches, a high nose bridge, and bone structure that looked as if it had been carved with a knife or an axe. He was handsome and deep like a sculpture, but his face revealed a stern look, and the black clothes he wore made his aura as heavy and sharp as a blade, unrestrained.
Lin Wu paused for half a second and then continued walking.
Since she appeared, the three people outside all looked at her.
Just as Ling Xiu was about to step forward, the extra young man arrived in front of Lin Wu and blocked her way.
He was very tall, and when he saw Lin Wushang, he lowered his head and eyes, and spoke slowly: "What did the city lord say to you? What does he want you to do?"
This person was exactly the protagonist that Lin Wu had just mentioned to the city lord.
The current deputy city lord of Killer City is Fan.
Lin Wu didn't look at him, but turned to Ling Xiu and said, "The city lord wants me to go and reflect on myself and say that you, Sister Ling Xiu, arranged a place for me."
Ling Xiu was slightly surprised, then nodded.
"Let's go then." Lin Wu said.
Lingxiu glanced at the man and turned around in response.
Lin Wu was about to catch up, but the man grabbed his arm and he had to stop.
Mo Lang immediately took a half step forward: "What does the deputy city lord mean?"
Fan pulled Lin Wu back behind him and said calmly, "She was originally one of my subordinates. If she made a mistake, I should deal with her according to the rules. There is no need to bother the city lord. I will explain it to the city lord later."
He turned to Lin Wu again, stared at her and said, "Just wait for me here. The city lord's place is not for you to stay."
After saying this, he let go and turned into the passage.
The secret door disappeared in an instant.
The corridor also became quiet.
Mo Lang looked at Lin Wu with an ugly expression.
Ling Xiu also turned around and looked at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu: “…”
No wonder the city lord wanted to get rid of Fan just a few years after he took over as deputy city lord.
Not long after she came back, she saw with her own eyes how daring Fan was to disobey the city lord to such an extent; when she was away, Fan had disobeyed the city lord so many times that she probably couldn't count them.
"Don't worry about him. Where are you going? Go now." Lin Wu said to Ling Xiu.
If she left with Fan today, she would lose the chance to cooperate with the city lord. She still had to show her attitude.
Lingxiu looked at her deeply, then turned around and led the way.
The two first went down to the first floor, then took the stairs on the other side to the fourth floor, and finally stopped in front of a room.
Ling Xiu said: "You can just stay here for the next two days."
Lin Wu simply pushed the door open and tried to go in.
Ling Xiu suddenly said, "Don't go out without someone to take you. Remember to go to bed at night, don't wake up, and don't go out."
Lin Wu stopped: "Why?"
What? When Fan said that she couldn't stay in the city lord's place, was it just a literal meaning? Wasn't it disobedient?
Ling Xiu looked at her and said after a while, "You should listen to the deputy city lord and follow him, or leave, and don't get involved in the affairs of the Killer City."
Lin Wu wanted to ask something else, but seeing Ling Xiu had already turned around and left, he didn't want to say anything more.
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows, gave up asking any more questions, and pushed the door open.
Inside was a guest room of more than 40 square meters in size. It was obvious that it had been cleaned and tidied in advance, and it was clean and fully equipped.
There was some warm food on the table, which must have been delivered not long ago.
