Although Wu Xiangwang already had a premonition of what kind of answer Brother Bin would give when faced with the threat of death, he was still overwhelmed with disappointment and anger when he really chose to be a strange lackey.
No one is not afraid of death, and everyone desires to live. This is impeccable human nature.
But there must always be some persistence in life, and there must always be some bottom line in life.
If one lives like a puppet without any bottom line or even a self, then even if such a person can still run, jump, and speak eloquently, he is just a breathing shell.
It's like a ghost helping a tiger.
From the moment Brother Bin agreed to that weird old man, he was no longer a human being.
Even though he still has a human appearance.
Wu Xiangwang looked at Brother Bin who was kneeling before the old weirdo and accepting his parasitic surveillance, and couldn't help but wonder, how many "accomplices" like Brother Bin there are in this city called Anle?
Is Jin Richeng one of them? How many of those human helpers gathered around the city gate task board are just wearing human skin?
"Okay, now that you've accepted my parasitic monitoring, it's time to do what needs to be done."
"The disappearance of over forty people in one night would certainly alert humans. We have to come up with an explanation that can deceive them."
Old Weird looked at Brother Bin, who looked miserable, and smiled grimly: "Go to the backyard now and wait until tomorrow morning before running back."
"Remember to spread the word on the road that while you were working, you were suddenly attacked by Liusha, the A-rank wanted criminal. Although you fought back, he still killed and devoured almost everyone. Only you managed to escape by being the fastest."
"Remember?"
Brother Bin nodded nervously: "I remember, I will definitely speak it according to your instructions."
The old man laughed strangely: "That's right."
"Ah, and since you've chosen to stay in the City of Peace, there's no need for your teammates to stay.
Bring them to me tomorrow or the night after tomorrow."
When Brother Bin heard this, a look of intense struggle suddenly appeared on his face. No matter what, those three of his teammates were teammates who had trained hard with him and gone through many dangers.
No matter how much he cowardly he was, he really didn't want to see his teammates die.
"Please, they're my teammates. I'll definitely help you and be obedient in the future. Can you please spare them? Or, they're all very capable! I can let them work for you with me, uh!"
Before Brother Bin could finish his words, he was frightened by the esophagus that the old man strangely stretched out in front of him.
He heard the shrill voice: "Either you die, or they die. Although the City of Bliss will accept some humans as our running dogs every once in a while, we still prefer the delicious and unique taste of humans to having them as dogs!"
Brother Bin finally closed his eyes in silence.
He has made his final choice.
Afterwards, Wu Xiangwang, who was lying on the door, watched Brother Bin walk step by step towards the real back garden.
The passage was obviously spacious and bright at this time, but for Brother Bin, this road was even darker than the dark corridor just now.
After Brother Bin left, the old weirdo squinted his eyes and looked around again. After making sure that there were no other fish that had slipped through the net, he chuckled twice and pushed open the door leading to the ballroom that Brother Bin couldn't open no matter what.
The moment the door opened, Wu Xiangwang seized the opportunity and flew in. It was not until he flew to the dark corner of the roof and lay down that he felt that he was completely away from the cruel old weirdo.
He had gathered some very important information tonight, but the experience of flying wildly in the slime made him feel exhausted both physically and mentally.
At this moment, he heard the old strange voice, which had become gentle and polite again, ring out in the ballroom:
"I have already sent those guests to where they should be. They only need to work for two days before they can receive Lord Jax's forgiveness."
"Now, there are no more inappropriate and rude people at the ball. You can dance and socialize to your heart's content. I hope you can find your ideal partner and spend a wonderful night together."
After the old weirdo finished speaking, the happy laughter of other weirdos was heard in the hall. They laughed happily and cheerfully, and some of them had a little indescribable shyness on their faces.
There was no sign of the cannibalistic look on their faces as they shouted "Punish them" more than twenty minutes ago.
When the human adventurers who were dressed appropriately and had not been taken away heard this, they all pulled their lips stiffly.
Only a fool would fail to notice the terrifying and strange atmosphere just now. However, those people have already left, and they can only wait until tomorrow to ask their companions and teammates what exactly happened.
Now, they just need to wait quietly until the ball is over, or do some beauty tasks by the way.
After that, Wu Xiangwang stared at the dance for more than half an hour.
Nothing like the work clothes incident happened during this half hour. Except for the monsters in the hall enthusiastically inviting humans to dance, everything seemed cheerful and beautiful.
Wu Xiangwang felt that some weirdos were too enthusiastic about humans, so much so that some people who could not control themselves were already sitting in the corner and touching their favorite fox girls or cat girls, or weirdos with wings or tails.
Obviously this is really wrong, and perhaps there is a fatal danger hidden in the temptation.
But we should not be like a mosquito flying around the room, biting each of these people's heads one by one and reminding them to be more sober.
By the time the hall was filled with embarrassing noises, Wu Xiangwang felt there was no need to continue staring.
Anyway, the merchant mission only required "dressing appropriately" and "staying until the ball was over." At that time, the members of their team only needed to sit neatly in a corner of the ball in non-work clothes and wait for two hours.
Although Wu Xiangwang still hasn't figured out the trap of the Beauty quest, which requires them to befriend three weirdos and dance with at least one of them, as long as they don't do this quest, no weirdos will be able to trick them! !
Then Wu Xiangwang flapped his wings and flew towards the window of the dance hall. After the bad experience of walking directly into the old weird esophagus, he suddenly felt that windows were more pleasing to the eye than doors.
Of course, he was not the only one flying out at this time. The big mosquito that was dragging him... well, holding him and "flying" in the air for a while also followed behind him naturally, as if it had always been there.
Wu Xiangwang and the big flower mosquito behind him flew away from the ballroom easily. When they came out, Wu Xiangwang saw Shang Chong, Wang Xiao and Xiao Lajiao who were waiting in front of the ballroom castle.
However, his current appearance would probably only allow him to be photographed in the past, and he would have to go back to the place where he transformed to see if the clothes he dropped there were still there.
Mosquito Xiangwang tried hard to fly to the deserted corner, praying in his heart that no other monsters or humans would come to that corner and pick up his clothes.
There shouldn't be a ragpicker in the weird world, right? His clothes must still be there, they must still be there!
However, when Mosquito flew to the corner where he transformed, all he saw was an empty floor.
The suit of clothes he had left there was gone.
Yes! The cape is gone, the shirt is gone, and the pants are gone!
The most important thing is, his damn underwear is gone too!
Mosquito Xiangwang was so angry that he almost turned back into human form and started cursing.
How bored, perverted, and poor must someone be to take away his entire set of clothes?! You can take the cape and clothes, but you should at least leave him some underwear!
Mosquito Xiangwang flew around angrily for several seconds, and finally had to grit his teeth, transform back into human form, and then open his snail shell backpack to take out spare clothes.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of the big flower mosquito that had been following him. If he were to change back into human form, he would be naked. So the question was -
Is that big colorful mosquito behind me a human, a monster, or a weird mosquito here?
After the previous flying car, an answer had been in his mind for a long time.
But if it really is that guy, he shouldn't transform at this time!
Mosquito Xiangwang turned around and looked at the big mosquito that was still flying slowly around him.
Then he bent his two little mosquito legs and made a "walk, walk, walk" gesture to drive it away.
However, the giant mosquito turned a blind eye.
Just slowly do the flying back movement in the original place.
Do not forget each other: "..." Very good.
Such a thick skin increased the probability of the guess in his mind being correct.
So the two mosquitoes confronted each other in this dark corner. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the mosquitoes shivered violently.
Damn it!
You're so cruel! I won't waste my time with you anymore!!
As long as I move quickly, you won't be able to see my naked body!!
So Wu Xiangwang used the fastest speed to cancel the complete transformation of Aedes albopictus, and the first time his body appeared in the darkness, he activated the blood bonus of the cone snail and summoned the snail shell backpack, ready to take out the spare cloak from it and put it on.
However fast he is, there is someone who is even faster.
When his bare toes landed on the ground, another figure appeared directly behind him. The sense of danger of a stranger approaching made Wu Xiangwang tense up in an instant, but before he could shoot the poison arrow, something soft and heavy was draped over his body.
Faster than he could find his own cloak.
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Then he heard that familiar, pleasant, deep voice: "The night is deep and the dew is heavy. Beauties who venture alone into danger should know how to protect themselves."
"It's a shame I didn't get you one more dance in the ballroom."
Wu Xiangwang, wrapped in his cloak, gnashed his teeth and said, "How can two mosquitoes dance together?! I'm going to do something serious!"
Abyss chuckled.
"No matter what you look like, I want to invite you to dance with me."
"But since the beauty has made a request, next time I will dance with you in a different form."
Don’t forget each other: “???”
What did he ask for? What did he ask for?!
After saying this, Abyss's figure gradually melted into the darkness like an invisible shadow.
"Ah, and that night, those butterflies and you were both very beautiful."
Wu Xiangwang grabbed his cloak and gritted his teeth. Sure enough, that guy was there that night.
I just don’t know where He is watching, and what He is doing.
That night he felt that there was some powerful and terrifying presence in the sky that was locking onto their car.
The feeling of being stared at by the devil did not improve until he transformed into the Yin-Yang Beauty Butterfly.
But the feeling of being "stared at" is always there.
It wasn't until the flower-like gem fell that he could be sure they were truly safe.
Wu Xiangwang was looking for new clothes to put on while thinking about the huge scarlet eye that night.
"Could it be that the city lord personally stood up for his brother-in-law?"
Wu Xiangwang muttered something.
Hiss...The city lord's wife must be very beautiful.
It was not until Wu Xiangwang put on his clothes again that he realized that the cloak he was wearing seemed a little too gorgeous and warm.
It was a pure black fur cloak with white fur edges, and the collar and hem of the cloak were inlaid with sparkling gems of various colors.
He had only taken a few steps when he felt a little hot.
Wu Xiangwang: “…Tsk!”
We've all been told not to be fooled by the weird and not to be corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of gems! The weirdness of this city is the perfect example!
"...Okay, next time for sure!"
We must never accept such sugar-coated bullets again.
So Wu Xiangwang stuffed the sugar-coated cape into the innermost part of his snail-shell backpack. He decided to keep it as a dangerous item, never to use it unless it was absolutely necessary!
Then Wu Xiangwang, who shivered in the cold wind, put on his hooded cloak and quickly ran to Shang Chong and the others who were waiting in the square.
"Oh my god, you're finally back!"
Shang Chong immediately gave Wu Xiangwang a slap in the face as a good brother.
"Let's go to the car and talk. We've heard a lot of information."
Wang Xiao pushed his glasses.
Wu Xiangwang also nodded: "I also have important news."
So the four of them got in the car, with Shang Chong still driving in the front, while Wu Xiangwang and the other three sat in the canopy.
"Who will speak first?" Wang Xiao looked at Wu Xiangwang.
Wu Xiangwang pressed his eyebrows together and said, "You two speak first, I'll organize my words."
Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows, "It seems you have discovered something extraordinary."
"Then let's talk about it. After we went in, we quickly found the strange place selling tickets to Jacks' Monopoly Ball."
"Those two monsters are standing right next to the gate. Adventurers can easily find them."
"It stands to reason that if we find them both, we can buy dance tickets from them."
“But we ran into two problems.”
Wang Xiao showed a somewhat sarcastic and expected expression on his face: "The price of the ticket is very expensive."
"One admission ticket requires 100 Energy Silver Coins, which is 10,000 Energy Copper Coins."
"Besides that, they only sell 100 tickets to the ball every night. But obviously, there were more people at the ball last night, not to mention the weirdness."
"I asked Weird whether I needed to buy tickets, and the two Weird people selling tickets replied that some did and some didn't."
"This interpretation is entirely up to the other party, which is very cunning, because it allows them to arbitrarily control the number of tickets sold that night."
Wang Xiao's voice became slightly heavy when he said this: "In this case, I think even if we collect 1200 energy silver coins, we won't be able to buy enough tickets from those two weirdos selling tickets.
The most likely scenario is that the twelve of us will split into three or four people, spending several days or even longer to enter the ballroom. No matter how you look at it, this will implicitly eliminate our power."
"Just from the fact that they bought tickets, we can tell that none of these weirdos have good intentions. I don't understand why they still think that everything weird in this city is good." Shang Chong couldn't help but complain in front: "Even if you're obsessed with sex, there must be a limit!"
"We also inquired about the wanted criminal Liusha. There's nothing special about him, except that he's incredibly fast, capable of killing, and incredibly cunning. It's said that if he goes berserk in one night, he could kill dozens or even hundreds of people!"
"When those weirdos mentioned Liusha, they seemed to be truly disgusted and afraid, but..."
Shang Chong paused for a moment, "I just feel like something's not quite right."
Little Pepper nodded at this time: "Yes, I also feel that these weird people's expressions and states seem a bit contradictory when talking about Liusha."
"It's like they fear Him and loathe Him, but they also look down on Him and take a bit of pleasure in His misfortune."
Wu Xiangwang lowered his eyes, pondering what Shang Chong and the others had said. Then, a complex expression twitched at the corner of his mouth. "If you listen to what I saw tonight, you'll probably understand why those weirdos treated Liusha the way they did."
Shang Chong and the other two all showed puzzled expressions.
Then Wu Xiangwang told them how Brother Bin and the others had walked directly into the old strange esophagus and how Brother Bin had finally betrayed them.
"Holy shit, holy shit!" Shang Chong was completely upset. "To think there's such a huge pit waiting here! If this city is truly peaceful, I'll stand on my head and thunder!"
"And that Brother Bin is so disgusting!"
Xiao La Jiao and Wang Xiao's expressions were also quite ugly at this time.
But Wu Xiangwang has already figured it out.
"Human nature is most clearly revealed between life and death. Who can guarantee that they can remain calm in the face of death? Moreover, I believe there must be many people in this city who make the same choice as him."
"As for Liusha... the old weirdo simply blamed Liusha for the forty or so people he devoured. Perhaps the weirdos looked at Liusha like a mortal who they couldn't kill, yet was blamed for everything."
Shang Chong was silent for three seconds, then inspiration struck him: "Oh my god... Is it possible that all the weird people in this city are actually killing and eating people in secret, but they are blaming all the blame for their own killing and eating people on that big fool Liusha?"
Little Pepper gasped on the spot, and then defined Liusha in one sentence: "Then he is really a big scapegoat!"
Wang Xiao: "...That's not necessarily true. Perhaps there's no A-level wanted criminal named 'Liu Sha' in this city. Every weirdo in this city is a 'Liu Sha' and can become a 'Liu Sha' at any time. If that's the case, wouldn't it explain why 'Liu Sha' has never been caught and is so cunning and powerful in fighting?
If the entire city were filled with 'Liusha,' then anyone entering the city would be the victim of all the weirdness playing tricks on them."
Wu Xiangwang felt that his ears were almost filled with the word "big enemy".
However, he prefers others to be the victim rather than being the victim himself.
"It's been half a year since Liusha's A-level wanted poster appeared in this city, but this city has existed for much longer than that.
So I am more inclined to believe that there really is such a weird big wronged creature.
And if I have the chance, I'd like to try a hero quest and meet that idiot who's been blamed by the whole city."
Wu Xiangwang smiled and said, "If you can beat him, then beat him to death. If you can't kill him, then have a chat with him and ask him if he knows that he is being blamed by the whole city."
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
"What if we can get a city-wide revenge on a big wronged person?"
Once the city becomes chaotic, they can do more and discover more.
"Also, do you remember what those two weird ticket sellers looked like? Do you know their names?"
Don’t forget each other. Suddenly he asked again.
"Hmm? Their appearance is very memorable. They have two strange bull heads with yellow fur. One of them even has a big gold chain on its ear! But I didn't ask for their names."
Shang Chong answered quickly and then asked, "Why are you asking this? Do you really want to buy tickets from them?"
Wu Xiangwang, who had transformed into a butterfly fairy, sneered.
"Why are you looking for two scalpers to buy tickets? All the scalpers who sell tickets should be beaten to death."
"Of course, it's a dark and windy night. Put on your mask, follow them, and make a big move."
Shang Chong slammed on the brakes, and the electric car did a beautiful drift on the deserted street.
Wang Xiao pushed up the lenses of his glasses, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he showed a very appreciative smile to the beautiful Wangwang.
"Compared to maximizing profits, I personally feel that trading with no capital is the most enjoyable."
Little Lajiao couldn't help but scream excitedly in her heart as she watched the beautiful Wangwang girl flick her head and push her long hair back.
My sister is so beautiful and she is so bad, but I love her so much!
Finally, Shang Chong concluded excitedly, "Let's do it! Let's stake out the area tomorrow morning and try to snatch two more scalpers from this city!"
