Qi Jinnuo quickly avoided it.
The long knife fell right before her eyes.
Her surprised face was reflected on the mirror-like blade.
Her hair, which was still floating in the air, was cut off by the sharp sword.
The moment the blade fell, she saw a strange, frosty face.
She clearly looked like a little girl, but her face was covered with green scales, like a snake demon, and her hair was strangely white.
It was only as high as her chest, with small hands and feet, still a child, but there was a cold light in his eyes that was inconsistent with his age.
The little hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife, the body was tense, and the face was alert.
Qi Jinnuo had just dodged when the second knife swung towards her.
Medusa slid in front of her.
The blade hit Medusa's armor-like scales and broke into two pieces in an instant.
The broken piece fell to the ground with a thud, and a look of panic finally appeared on the little girl's face.
She glanced at Qi Jinnuo quickly, turned around and ran away.
"etc!"
Qi Jinnuo called her, but unexpectedly she ran faster and faster.
A white figure rushed out.
Yinyin appeared in front of the little girl like lightning, blocking her way and roaring fiercely threateningly.
The little girl's face turned pale and she took two steps back in fear, her tiny body tense.
Qi Jinnuo saw her bare feet, and there were some scales on the instep and ankles.
They are small pieces, very similar to the scales on Medusa's body, except for the color.
Qi Jinnuo instantly confirmed that these were snake scales.
Why do snake scales grow on a little human girl?
"Don't be nervous." Qi Jinnuo came over and said, "I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask you some questions."
The little girl turned around and faced her in an instant, her lips tightly pursed, her face still full of vigilance.
Those clear eyes and the strange vertical pupils looked very much like snake eyes, giving people a damp feeling.
Why is this kid like this?
Qi Jinnuo frowned and was about to ask when a burst of messy footsteps suddenly came.
"Take me to a hiding place and don't let anyone find me!" Qi Jinnuo said to the little girl.
The little girl moved her lips but didn't say anything.
Qi Jinnuo threatened: "Hurry up, or I'll let that big lion eat you!"
Yinyin hummed in dissatisfaction, it’s not a lion, okay!
The little girl said, "Follow me!"
"Hurry up, it's just ahead!" the man in black uniform shouted. Leading the way was a vicious dog with ferocious fangs, running very fast.
A group of people followed it into the alley, but found it empty.
"Why not? Is there something wrong?"
"Impossible, when has it ever gone wrong?!"
"But there's really nothing here!" The man looked down at the black dog and said viciously, "Did you lead the way properly?!"
The black dog groaned twice in grievance.
"Forget it, let's go look somewhere else. The owner has already issued a death order, and she must be found."
The man said nonchalantly, "Even if we can't find her, what does it matter? This is the seventh district. Even if she managed to escape, it would be a problem if she could get through the no-man's land and reach the sixth district, let alone reach the holy district. It's simply a pipe dream."
"That's what you said! No matter if she can get through or not, we have to find her! Stop complaining and find her quickly."
The messy footsteps quickly faded away.
"District 7?" In the dim room, Qi Jinnuo looked at the little girl, "You mean, this is District 7? What does District 7 mean?"
She looked around the small, cramped, dark room. The air smelled damp and moldy; the living environment was quite bad.
This made Qi Jinnuo, who has always been a germaphobe, feel uncomfortable and he wanted to escape from this place.
But it's not safe outside.
Click.
The match struck the box, creating a small flame that lit the candle.
The room was dimly lit, and Qi Jinnuo could finally see the room clearly.
Messy and filled with all kinds of inexplicable things.
There were shelves made from what looked like the bones of some ferocious beast, and an ashtray made from a skull, with some cigarette butts and ashes in it.
Clothes were piled messily on the bed and chairs. They were gray and old, and some had patches on them.
The small room is full of traces of life.
Half-eaten instant noodles, with instant noodle seasoning packets everywhere, and opened cans, emitting a strong spicy meaty smell.
Qi Jinnuo saw a blue uniform with the word "反馈" (feed) on it.
"What do the words on these uniforms mean? I've met people wearing white uniforms, black uniforms, and purple uniforms, and now I see this blue uniform."
"And the words on each uniform are different."
The little girl said, "In Doomsday Paradise, all people are divided into seven levels. The seventh level is the cleaners, who are the people you see wearing white uniforms. They are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the roads. The sixth level is the city guards, who wear black uniforms and are responsible for protecting the peace of each district."
"Districts? How many districts are there here?" Qi Jinnuo asked.
Little girl: "Seven districts, from the seventh district to the second district, the highest level area is called the Holy City."
Qi Jinnuo asked again: "What level is the one in the purple uniform?"
"The fourth level is the manager, who is in charge of a certain area and wears a purple uniform. The fifth level is the breeder, who wears a blue uniform. The third level is the district chief, who wears a red uniform and is in charge of seven districts. The second level is the deputy envoy, who wears a gold uniform and is the right-hand man of the Holy Lord. He usually only works in the Holy District."
Qi Jinnuo couldn't help but laugh, "Holy Lord? What kind of a name is that?"
The little girl shook her head. "I don't know, but the Holy Lord requires everyone to call him that."
"Does he think of himself as a savior or a god?" Qi Jinnuo sneered.
Seven areas, seven levels.
The number seven seems to have a special meaning in this doomsday paradise.
She remembered that in a certain religious holy book, the number seven was also particularly important.
"Is this holy leader called Huai Guangji?" Qi Jinnuo asked.
The little girl said, "I don't know. I don't know and I've never seen him. People like us are not qualified to go to the Holy District."
"What kind of person?" Qi Jinnuo looked at her in confusion.
The little girl lowered her head in silence, and after a moment she said, "People who failed to evolve."
"Tell me, what does evolution failure mean?" Qi Jinnuo looked at the scales on her face. "What kind of experiments did they do on you to make you like this?"
Neither human nor ghost.
This doomsday paradise is neither paradise nor hell.
Here, even people are divided into seven levels and seven areas. It's a complete slavery system!
The little girl looked gloomy. "They implanted animal crystal cores into human bodies. Only when a person successfully merges with the animal crystal core and becomes an orc can the transformation be considered successful."
