Chapter 417: Soft Threats Meet Hard
"Okay... just for the doctor, I'm going to try my best to get in." Upon receiving encouragement, Zhong Mu immediately clenched his fists and became serious.
But the problem remains the same. There are too many people in Mingyun City. If they rush in to keep the high priest, Zhong Mu will find it difficult to get in, let alone take the high priest away. His first task now is to get in.
As for how to get in...
Zhong Mu was lost in thought, looking at the extremely anxious crowd gathered in front of the main city, then he pulled Mu He forward, domineeringly pushed those people aside, and walked to the front of the team.
Their queue-jumping behavior immediately enraged the people gathered there who couldn't get their limbs. "What are you two doing?! Do you even know what first-come, first-served means?! Get in line at the back!"
"That's right! And you two are complete people, right? Why are you here cutting in line to grab our limbs?"
"You're showing off your complete bodies in front of us just because you're upset with us, right?"
"You two better pay attention. I'm in a hurry right now. If you provoke me, I'll tear you two apart!"
There was resentment and jealousy in their eyes, and they tried hard to provoke Zhong Mu. As long as the other party showed any sign of fighting back, they would rush over and take advantage of the fact that the other party was the one causing trouble to snatch things from the two of them.
But Zhong Mu escorted Mu He to the front of the crowd without any hurry. He did not get angry at those people, but said calmly: "What's wrong? Are you envious? It's just a complete body, can't you just go buy it?"
The people in line scoffed, "That's easy to say. Most of the limbs on the market nowadays are either nearly unusable or ridiculously expensive. Do you think we don't want to buy limbs?"
"If the main city hadn't refused to give us limbs, we wouldn't want to see you two here."
"You guys who spend a fortune piecing together a complete body are such an eyesore. The limbs of Lifefall City are being wasted by you guys." M.biQUpai.
"That is, instead of letting you waste it, it is better to give it to us practical people."
There was greed in those people's eyes, and they would not easily follow Zhong Mu's topic. Then they would turn their hostility towards the robbery. As long as there was an excuse to provoke a conflict, the other party would not hesitate to find a reason to come up and chop people.
"This is how shallow you are, isn't it? Who said I bought my limbs from Mingyun City? Only you would keep guarding these pitiful limbs from Mingyun City. You don't know when the main city will run out of limbs, and you just queue up here and cry every day." Zhong Mu frowned arrogantly and turned to leave.
His topic immediately caught the attention of the crowd, and someone quickly stopped him, "You didn't buy it from Mingyu City? Then where did you buy it from?"
"Do you want to buy it from other channels?"
Faced with the crowd that immediately took the bait and showed interest, even if Zhong Mu wanted to leave now, this group of people would not let him go.
"I can't tell you about this. It's a secret channel." Zhong Mu smiled mysteriously and nodded at himself. "See this outfit of mine? It didn't cost me much, and it won't fall apart in Lifefall City. It's intact. On the other hand, the practical limbs in Lifefall City are not strong and often fall off. I won't use the limbs from the main city anymore. Maybe there's a curse in them."
He clicked his tongue and shook his head, speaking in a mysterious tone.
It is self-evident to everyone who cast the curse here, and everyone knows it clearly.
Once someone has doubts, there will be speculation, and speculation will magnify the doubts in people's hearts.
"That seems to be true. When God was protecting us, our limbs never fell off. We didn't need to replace them. It was only after God disappeared that..."
"You said that person clearly has the same power as God. If she truly protected us, we wouldn't have to replace our limbs so frequently, right?"
"I also think... the main city must have treated her badly, so she's deliberately trying to keep us from having peace."
"It's the main city that treated her badly. What does it have to do with us? How dare they deliberately make our lives uneasy?"
"No, no, no, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's quickly ask how we can buy new limbs. That's what we want to know."
"Yes, you are right."
The group of people quickly stopped talking and surrounded Zhong Mu and Mu He.
Zhong Mu was in good health, and Mu He looked fine except for the fact that he was missing an arm. The fact that he was missing an arm made people realize that he was originally disabled, but his body had not been restored yet. They were eager to get information from the two people.
"Hurry up and tell us, we also want to have a complete body."
"Yeah, that way we don't have to wait for information from the main city. Where can we find limbs that aren't expensive and won't fall off?"
"If you don't tell me today, you can't leave. Either tell me where to buy it, or you'll leave your limbs behind."
This group of people have always been ruthless. Compared to the people outside the main city who would disguise themselves pitifully, the people near the main city are quite direct. They talk about looting every other sentence and are really greedy for the limbs of the two people in front.
"Do you know the Twin Cities?" Seeing the crowd's curiosity piqued, Zhong Mu immediately began to make up a story, "It's the Twin Cities next door to us."
"I know...what's wrong?"
"The God of Twin City has returned. You should also know some of the structures of Twin City. The lucky ones are favored by the God of Luck for their entire lives, while those favored by the God of Misfortune must serve Twin City for their entire lives. Those who want to escape Twin City and escape the God of Misfortune will flee and come to Fatefall City."
"Maybe it's because they're not from Lifefall City. The limbs bought from them won't fall off, and the price is cheap. Now people outside Lifefall City buy them this way."
This news stunned everyone around them. "No, wait, the God of Twin City is back???"
"Is that so? The Twin Cities have been sealed off from entry and exit. I didn't even know their god had returned."
"You're not lying to us, are you? The God of Twin City has returned, how come we didn't know anything about it?"
Facing everyone's questions, Zhong Mu remained calm. "It's precisely because the God has returned that they sealed the city and didn't want the news to leak out. But I went to the edge of the Twin Cities a while ago and met the slaves of the God of Misfortune who had escaped from the Twin Cities. I learned some news from them."
"I know how to summon the gods back, and I also know where to buy slave limbs. If you want to know, I can tell you one of them." Zhong Mu nodded pretentiously and gave them a choice.
"Why only tell us one of them? Can't you tell us both?" The crowd made dissatisfied noises. They were still the same, greedy to death. They stared at Zhong Mu, trying to get information from him.
Obviously, they are the ones who benefit from the information for free, but they act as if they are the ones who share it.
Zhong Mu smiled and said in a friendly manner: "If I am not happy with you, I won't say a word."
"I'll take this news to my grave and never let you know a word."
These words immediately silenced everyone around them. The soft threat met with a hard opponent.
