Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 207: False Propaganda of the Spirit Hall
Hearing Liu Xing's words, the woman in black veil was stunned for a moment.

"Are you sure? Less than one in ten people who enter there can walk out alive. Countless people die in the Killing Fields of Hell every year. Furthermore, each person is only required to enter the Killing Fields of Hell once a year. As long as they can win a battle, they can live in the Killing City for another year."

The Killing City is not a place where killing is going on all the time, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people still alive, and it wouldn't become a paradise in the eyes of desperate criminals.

"I'm sure. Take us there."

"In that case, the two of you should follow me."

After saying this, the woman in black veil walked towards the city.

Along the way, Meteor saw some people who were as thin as skin and bones and very weak.

"People like them can win at the Killing Fields of Hell every year?"

Meteor asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. If you want to survive in the Slaughter City, besides participating in the Hell Slaughter Game once a year, you just have to contribute two Bloody Marys every month."

The woman in black veil shook her head.

Meteor's mouth twitched. "Bloody Mary is just human blood. These people are bleeding themselves to avoid participating in the Hell Killing Field competition! No wonder they are so weak."

But what's the difference between this and chronic suicide?

Only the weak would choose to survive in this way. Even if the strong do not want to participate in the Hell Killing Game, they will find opportunities to hunt others and obtain Bloody Mary.

"Aren't they just letting others do whatever they want?"

Liuying frowned.

After handing over your own blood and becoming so weak, how can you protect yourself? Aren't you just waiting to be slaughtered?
The woman in black veil shook her head and said, "That's not true. The Slaughter City is divided into the Inner and Outer City. The Outer City doesn't allow random killings, while the Inner City has no rules and is more dangerous, but the treatment and amenities are the highest."

"These people only dare to linger in this outer city. They dare not approach the inner city. Moreover, the requirement for entering the inner city is to win at least one match in the Hell Killing Field."

Liuxing nodded. He had to admit that the City of Slaughter was a good place. It seemed that the Spirit Hall had invested a lot of resources here.

It goes without saying that there are so many people in the City of Slaughter, all of them are crazy, and it is located underground, so no one will engage in production. So where do the resources of the City of Slaughter come from?

The City of Slaughter is a place where people can only enter but not leave. Most of the people here are criminals who have committed crimes. It can be said to be a natural prison, which reduces the worries of the Spirit Hall. By providing some resources, a prison can be built that attracts criminals to come to the prison continuously. Why not do it?

Moreover, this is a good place to train people. As long as they can walk out of here, becoming a Titled Douluo is just their starting point. They can also obtain domain soul skills. It is simply an excellent training ground.

But the danger is also very great. It is very likely that the genius you have chosen will die here. This is a matter of opinion.

Liuxing was a little tempted, thinking of asking the people from the Nevernight Palace to visit the City of Slaughter one day. Of course, in his opinion, the only people who could survive in the City of Slaughter and successfully get out were Ji Juechen, Gu Yuena, and Xue Nu.

Others like Meng Hongchen, Xu Tianzhen and others are still too young, and the City of Slaughter is a bit too dangerous for them.

However, when he thought that Tang San would destroy this place with the Bloody Swan Kiss after passing through the Slaughter City, Liu Xing felt a little uncomfortable.

It was difficult for him to understand Tang San's train of thought. Although the City of Slaughter was a place of sin, those who suffered here were all deserving of death. Those who came to the City of Slaughter were all criminals and those who came to gain experience. For such a place, destroying it would obviously do him more harm than good!
Without this city of slaughter, those evil soul masters who committed crimes would have nowhere to go and would surely flee all over the continent. Wherever they went, the civilians there would suffer or even be brutally killed.

Liu Xing even suspected that the evil spirit masters' rampage in their world was caused by Tang San's destruction of the Slaughter City ten thousand years ago.

He had gained enough benefits and harvested a lot in the Killing City, so he turned around and destroyed the Killing City, leaving no chance for future generations, and letting this natural prison disappear, causing dangerous criminals to spread across the continent and bring disaster to civilians.

Liu Xing had learned some information about the Holy Spirit Church in their world. Those evil soul masters believed in a guy called the Holy Emperor, but that guy was not a high-ranking figure in the Holy Spirit Church, but a god-like existence.

Liuxing suspected that it might be the Sea God Tang San. After all, it was the Sea God Tang San who destroyed the City of Slaughter, which led to the rise of evil soul master sects such as the Holy Spirit Sect.

Moreover, the followers of Sea God Tang San are not only the sea soul beasts in the sea, but also humans who believe in killing. After all, he also has the position of Shura God.

Isn't the Shura God in charge of killing? Just look at this City of Killing and you will know. Aren't all the people here evil soul masters full of murderous aura?

Collecting skulls and drinking human blood, if this isn’t an evil soul master, then who is?
Or perhaps it was because the Spirit Hall was behind the Slaughter City that made Tang San, who hated the Slaughter City as well as the Spirit Hall, choose to destroy the Slaughter City.

But in Liuxing's opinion, his behavior is even more evil than that of an evil soul master.

This is no different from attacking a prison and releasing the prisoners.

Although Tang San is the protagonist, Liu Xing does not have much affection for him.

As I walked along the street, I saw more and more people on both sides. Almost everyone had an unhealthy paleness on their faces, and most were emaciated. Needless to say, these were the people who dared not enter the killing fields of hell, and who survived by contributing two Bloody Marys every month.

Liuxing thought of the two glasses of Bloody Mary in the small town tavern. Each glass weighed at least half a pound of blood, and two glasses every month meant a pound of blood.

One or two months might not be a big deal, but if it continues like this in this underground city without sunlight, how can the body possibly withstand it?

In the outer city of the Killing City, there are some simple black stone houses on both sides of the street. Every other section of the road, there are some special places to eat.

Many people lined up there waiting for food to be distributed. They felt that they were only slightly better off than beggars. As for the so-called paradise of sin and the so-called enjoyment, they did not exist at all.

From this perspective, it looks more like a prison. What the criminals outside know may just be the tip of the iceberg. They only know that the City of Slaughter is a paradise of sin. As long as they enter the City of Slaughter, they will not be hunted down by the Spirit Hall.

Obviously, this was also the work of the Spirit Hall, using false propaganda to trick these criminals into this killing city and imprison them forever.

It’s such a pity to destroy such a place, Meteor shook his head.

With such a prison, there would be fewer evil criminals rampant in Douluo Continent.

After all, there is a huge difference in difficulty between sending people to hunt down and arrest them and having them come to you on their own.

Of course, those who suffer are the weak. The real strong ones, even criminals, are treated much better. I think this should not be the case in the inner city.

After all, the Spirit Hall wants to build a natural prison to attract criminals, so it can't be all false propaganda. At least there are real parts.

A paradise for sinners, a paradise that waste has no right to enjoy.

The city was bigger than Liuxing had imagined. It took them more than half an hour to walk through the outer city and reach the inner city wall.

Compared with the outer wall of the City of Slaughter, the inner wall is not high, and the highest point is only about ten meters. Obviously, behind this wall is the inner city of the City of Slaughter.

The city gates were wide open, and there were no guards. The woman in black veil said calmly, "The inner city doesn't need guards. Anyone from the outer city can go in at any time if they have the courage. Of course, they will have to bear the consequences themselves. Since you've just arrived in the Slaughter City, I suggest you stay in the outer city first and then enter the inner city after you're familiar with it."

"After we enter the inner city, please stay within five meters of me. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety."

"Oh, it's safe to stay with you."

Meteor laughed.

A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the black-veiled woman. "We are all messengers of the Slaughter King. In the Slaughter City, no one dares to offend the Slaughter King's majesty. You have been in the Slaughter City for less than twelve hours and are still in the novice protection period. Having me by your side is the best protection. Of course, after twelve hours, you will be on your own."

There's also a new member protection period! It seems quite humane.

That's right, although they are all hopeless criminals, they are not materials that can be consumed at will by the City of Killing.

Meteor and Firefly were not easily frightened. They followed the woman in black veil without hesitation and entered the inner city.

As soon as he stepped into the inner city, Liu Xing immediately felt an atmosphere that was completely different from the outer city.

If the outer city is a dead and indifferent world, then the inner city is a luxurious and crazy world, with all kinds of colorful lights everywhere. The population of the inner city is much larger than that of the outer city, which is completely different from the quietness of the outer city.

The inner city was extremely chaotic, with excited laughter, painful cries, and many creepy sounds everywhere.

"Oh, it's quite confusing."

Sensing the malicious gazes coming from all directions, Meteor chuckled.

In this killing city where soul skills cannot be used, with his and Liuying's physical fitness, they dare to challenge even Titled Douluo. How could they take these trash seriously?

"Take us to the killing fields of hell."

Meteor looked at the woman in black veil.

The woman in black veil stopped trying to persuade them. In her opinion, the two men were seeking death and no one could stop them.

The inner city could indeed be described as a city of luxury, or even decadence. The woman in black veil was right. With her around, although there were countless malicious glances cast upon the two of them, no one really dared to act rudely in front of the woman in black veil.

The King of Killing is a demigod. There are no more than three people in the entire Douluo Continent who dare to disrespect him. These crazy criminals are no exception. After all, evildoers need to be dealt with by evildoers.
