Chapter 75 [Inverted V Ending]

It was a pitch-black thing that barely looked like a human figure. It was hard to tell whether it was red or orange-red sparks coming out of the black thing and falling to the ground. The ground made a crackling sound, as if it would burst into flames in the next moment. Everyone around was startled and quickly stepped back to avoid being burned to death by the fire.

Only a young man came over and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, do you need help?"

The black thing suddenly became clear and turned into a living man. At least, he looked like a living man.

He was wearing an ordinary short-sleeved shirt, mid-length pants, black shoes, short hair, dark circles under his eyes, and looked a little decadent. He lowered his head and seemed to have a stiff neck. In short, his face looked a little green, and he was not in a very healthy state. He slowly turned his head and looked at the person who had just asked him a question. After staring at him for a while, he showed a not-so-friendly and lewd smile.

"Thank you for your concern."

The walker said.

"Can I ask where you are going?"

The speaker asked cautiously.

"Where are we going? Now that you're here, where else can you go? Isn't it just to the top? Only at the top of the mountain are there people, things, and what we need..."

The person walking paused, and suddenly looked at the person opposite him carefully, frowned and asked: "You came here without knowing anything? You walked here without knowing anything? What are you doing here? You can't be here for sightseeing, right? That's ridiculous. There's no good scenery here."

The person who spoke smiled and said, "I came here as part of a tour group. I didn't know what this place was like before I came, but I heard it seemed pretty good, so I came here. The main reason was money. After all, I'm a very poor person, but I don't want to stay at home all my life. So I planned to travel for a while and then go home to find a job. That way, I might feel better after a change of mood."

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was pulled by the person behind him. He stopped talking about his own business and turned to look at the person walking and asked, "What are you looking for on the top of the mountain?"

The pedestrians looked behind the speaker, who was a very pale woman wearing a red dress and various jewels. There were traces of makeup on her face. Sweat was dripping down her white powder and pink glitter, almost sticking to her chin, as if her forehead had been moved.

The wrinkles on her face were clearly visible, proving that she was not young. However, the relationship between her and the speaker did not seem like that of a mother and son, but rather a husband and wife, which was even more strange. Perhaps it was the awkward atmosphere between them that prevented people from asking them face to face, resulting in no one knowing the specifics of their relationship.

Maybe it doesn't matter if you don't know, but they are always standing there and make people pay attention to them involuntarily. In a sense, they do have some influence.

The person walking smiled and answered the person talking, "I'm here to look for the legendary elixir that can make people immortal after taking it. Although everyone knows that such a thing is almost impossible, I still have some thoughts about it. I think so too. I always feel that if I don't come, I will waste time and miss the opportunity. I don't want to regret it later, so I came here. What about you?"

The person who was speaking was stunned for a moment and asked, "Me what?"

The person walking said, "As far as I know, there are two possibilities for people who come here. One is to look for elixirs, and the other is to come here to take a look as a rich person. The more things you take away, the more it proves that you have been here, and the more money you are likely to get. You are not here for money, and you are not here for elixirs. You said you came here for tourism, which is too funny. I don't believe it. You are not telling the truth."

The person who was speaking got angry and said, "I am obviously telling you the truth, but you just don't believe it. Well, since you think I am not telling you the truth, I will tell you the truth now. I tell you, I am here to find the elixir! What are you going to do to me? I am a living person and I will not let you do whatever you want. Besides, there are so many people around me, don't even think about doing anything to me!

Do you think I will tolerate you? "

He gave an almost sarcastic sneer.

Perhaps the other party took this smile as a signal to start a fight, nodded, then calmly raised his hand and killed the person who was speaking.

The woman behind the speaker was startled for a moment, screamed in fear, and was chased and killed.

The others scattered and prepared to escape, but were still killed from behind.

The ground was littered with corpses and blood, but the next moment, the corpses stood up, opened their eyes, and came back to life. The blood returned to their bodies from the ground. It looked as if nothing had happened. They had forgotten what had just happened and had no idea of ​​the black thing that was about to pass by.

This time, an older man walked over and patted the black object, probably at the shoulder, and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, can you hear us? Do you understand?"

This feels a bit insulting.

The black thing suddenly turned into a taller, young and handsome man, dressed in rich clothes. He stood in front of the older man, with a hint of indifference in his gentleness and a distant smile: "I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again? What did you ask me to do just now?"

The older man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the person in front of him was so good-looking and wearing such expensive things. He felt that if he was not careful, he would become a criminal who broke other people's expensive things and couldn't afford the compensation and went to jail. He quickly let go of her hand, smiled awkwardly, quietly threw the black mud rubbed out from his palm on the ground, stepped on it secretly, and twisted his body to block everyone's sight.

Of course, what he wanted most was to block the gaze of the person in front of him, so as not to be disliked.

Although he did look unclean, being discriminated against was another matter and was not something to be happy about.

He couldn't guarantee that his temper wouldn't explode, and he hoped that he wouldn't cause any trouble in such a dangerous environment.

"I mean, what are you doing here?"

The older man touched his bald and chilly bald head and asked casually.

"I'm here to ask for money, don't you know? I heard that the royal family has posted the list everywhere. There are notices on the walls and gates of every city, and there are people guarding and reciting them. Anyone who passes by can hear the recitation. Even if you don't pass by, you can hear people talking about this matter next to you. It seems..."

The man looked at the older man in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled a smile that was not sarcastic but not very nice either. He said in a gentle voice that was still cold and indifferent, "You don't look like a particularly rich person. Are you not interested in making money?"

This sentence seems to be saying, "Are you doing nothing at home and idling around outside, not wanting to find a job or make money? It's terrible to be a family with you, and your family is too miserable. If you die, maybe the people around you will live a better life."

The older man frowned, feeling uncomfortable, but he felt these words, not what the other person said, so he couldn't get angry, so he could only smile awkwardly, and said to the man with a slightly dark face: "How could that be? I am very interested in making money, but I don't know how to make a lot of money, otherwise, what am I doing here!"

These words seemed to touch the heart of the other party.

The man nodded and said to the older man, "Since you have this intention, your family should be happy."

The older man nodded casually.

The man said to him, "Actually, I can tell you something about this matter. Be careful and don't lose your life by accident."

When the older man heard the word "life", he was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. He was suspicious and thought to himself, is this guy just talking nonsense to deceive me? What can he know? He looks like an uneducated playboy. If he knew anything, how could he be here? It's impossible that someone would come to a place like this for money! That would be too scary.

However, if it is a matter of life and death, I cannot ignore a word of it. If it is useful, that would be good.

The older man moved closer and listened carefully with suspicion.

The man said to him, "I'm not lying to you. Everyone says that you'll know the answer when you reach the top of the mountain. I advise you not to go to the top of the mountain. Just think of a way to get down when you reach the middle of the mountain. This way you can make money and save your life. It's perfect. If you don't want to do it, forget it. Anyway, I've said this and you can listen or not."

Older men are a bit superstitious. I nodded, which meant I would listen to you.

The man walked away.

The older man turned around and looked at his wife. His wife was also plump and wore a very loose dress with small flowers. The background color was very gaudy, and looked like pink. However, he didn't know much about such things and didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being disliked, scolded, or beaten. Although he could resist, what if he accidentally killed someone? It would be troublesome, so it was better to give in.

His wife walked up to him and asked cautiously in a low voice: "How is it? Did you hear anything special?"

The older man hesitated for a moment and told his wife what he had just heard.

The wife sneered, "Only a fool like you would believe it. You can tell at a glance that such a person is not a good person. How can good things happen to you? Don't dream in broad daylight. I told you that you are a toad trying to eat a swan, but you still don't believe it. People like you will never achieve anything in your life. You can't even tell if someone is lying or not!"
