"As the night turns to dawn, the swallows return to the south bank, and the city gates open!"
"boom!"
"rumble……"
As the hazy shadow of the sun passed over the distant horizon, a sound of thunder rang out above the tall city wall, announcing the end of the 128th night patrol of the City of Sin.
After a dull roar, the city gate mechanism engaged and started, slowly opening the city gate that pierced the sky and was covered with frost.
After arriving in the City of Sin, Qin He had witnessed its opening and closing more than a dozen times, but he still felt shocked.
It’s so high that the city walls soar up to the sky.
Looking up, one could only see the hazy and shadowy huge city defense equipment through the gray clouds. Occasionally, through the gaps in the clouds, one could see the hanging corners of the city wall and a large brass bell shining with gold.
If there is anything that will be passed down forever in Sin City, it is only one thing.
This is the Demon-Suppressing Pass, whose construction date is unknown. Although the Sin City has been destroyed countless times, this pass has been repaired and is still in use today.
Only with it can we have the city of sin.
The extremely heavy door cracked a little, and then slowly opened.
Extending back several hundred steps along the gap, there are large areas of low-rise houses in the City of Sin.
This closed door is hundreds of steps thick. It doesn't look like a door, but more like a deep canyon that slowly opens.
There was a foot of ice on the dark and cold closed door.
At this moment, the broken ice and snowflakes fell down, creating white spots one after another on the ground in front of the iron-hard door, and the dull sounds became one after another.
This is the gravity restriction of the city gate. Every time the city gate goes up one zhang, the weight will double.
To climb over this city gate that reaches into the clouds is like climbing to heaven.
A gate separates the wilderness and the city of sin.
When the city gate was opened half a meter, the night watchmen in the front row looked up at the sky cautiously. After confirming that all the icicles had fallen, they quickly crossed the gate and entered the Guanmen Gorge.
Under the blessing of gravity restriction, the ice spikes, even if they are only as big as a little finger, are enough to kill or injure a strong man in the Dao Palace realm.
Behind them were the night watchmen waiting in line to return to the city.
Some people were covered in blood, some had broken limbs, only a very few had bulging bags and extra gains, and everyone had a frosty look on their faces.
Qin He stood in the front carrying the camel's corpse, looking particularly eye-catching. Looking back, he saw that the number of people was half less than when he set out.
Some of those people will come back tomorrow or later because the patrol points are far away, but most of them have already died in the wilderness and become the wilderness's nutrient.
The murderer could be an evil creature, a monster, the cold, a fellow night watchman, or someone else.
But…no one cares anymore.
The vacancies created by their deaths will be marked on the map by a steward in the City Lord's Mansion, thus forming a simple map of the distribution of evil creatures, which can be used to determine whether some changes have occurred in the wilderness.
Just like a companion abandoned by army ants, it doesn't matter.
Crossing the long gate, the examiners examined the jade tablets one by one. One of them trembled and took out the jade tablet and said, "Sir, I have inspected the stele and found a fourth-level evil creature lurking nearby. I have returned to report this carefully. I hope you will show mercy. If what I said is false in the slightest, I will accept the death penalty!"
The Inquisitor was a scholar in white, dressed like a scholar. He stared at the man with a cold gaze and asked with a joking look, "The first of the Ten Beheadings of the Night's Watch?"
The man's face turned pale as he fell to his knees, kowtowing frantically. "Sir, that was a fourth-level evil creature. I'm only at the Lunhai Realm, and I was lucky enough to escape with my life. I beg you to show me some mercy. I'll be more valuable if I come back alive to report the news than... than if I died. Please have mercy on me..."
"You won't have to worry about this. The Ten Beheadings Law is impartial and ruthless." The scholar in white stretched out his hand, and an extremely cold and violent aura instantly enveloped the man. After a burst of energy passed by, the man's body was separated and blood spurted all over the ground.
The head rolled on the ground several times, its mouth opening and closing, still begging for mercy, but no sound came out. The fear in its eyes gradually froze, and it died with its eyes wide open.
"Alas, this new guy has no experience."
"You dare to return to the city without lighting up the Night Watch Token? Aren't you courting death?"
"Stay in the wilderness and don't come back."
"..."
The night watchmen in line were agitated when they saw this and talked a little.
Then they came forward one by one, handed over their tokens, and walked forward without anyone even looking at that person.
After the guards carried away the man's body and kicked off his head, everything... was as if nothing had happened.
Indifferent and numb.
