The city gates of the City of Angels were bustling with activity, surrounded by makeshift shacks. Some people were cooking over fires, others were selling fruit, and a few were paying to enter the city.

When the three people landed at the city gate in their flying magical artifacts, they attracted everyone's attention.

"My God, what are they riding in? They can actually fly! Did they come from the sky?"

Are they angels?

"What are they wearing? I've never seen them before."

"This is all so amazing."

Qin Baobao was dressed casually in sneakers, mainly because the ground here didn't allow her to wear other shoes.

I forgot to mention, the people here don't have shoes. The slightly wealthier ones wrap their feet in bandages, while the poor can only wrap their feet in grass roots or walk barefoot. Everyone's soles have thick calluses, telling a story of their suffering.

On the way there, Qin Baobao gave the two of them modern clothes. At first, they refused to wear shoes, feeling very awkward. However, after being washed by the spiritual spring water, their soles became white and tender, almost fragile. Left with no other choice, they reluctantly put on the shoes. Unexpectedly, after a few days of getting used to them, they grew to like the shoes and refused to take them off.

As soon as they stepped off the magical artifact, the city guards immediately came to greet them. They warmly invited the three distinguished guests into the city, without asking them for even a single thread.

Are you kidding me? Who is this person? Can he be compared to lowly commoners?

While greeting the three men, he reported the situation to the city lord.

As we entered the city, a commanding voice suddenly rang in my ears. It was captivating, as if it came directly from my heart.

"City of Angels, heart-picking is forbidden."

Qin Baobao looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious. Turning back to the other two, she saw their expressions freeze for a moment before returning to normal. Seeing their expressions, Qin Baobao understood that they had also heard the sound.

Could this be... some kind of special setting? Everyone entering the city can hear it. This city is too strange.

The guard saw her looking around and understood perfectly. "Everyone who enters the city for the first time can hear that. It's the voice of angels, their command. Anyone who enters the city must obey." As he said this, the guard held his head high, puffed out his chest, and was very proud of being a resident of this city.

The city lord was a burly man in his thirties, strong and powerful. Upon hearing the soldier's report, he rushed out to greet him without stopping.

They met Qin Baobao and her group on the way and immediately went up to chat with Arthur.

The guards tugged at the city lord's sleeve, indicating that Qin Baobao was their leader.

Along the way, he gradually realized that these three people were actually in charge of this little girl.

The city lord wasn't embarrassed at all; he turned around and gave Qin Baobao a hand kiss as a gesture of respect.

Caught off guard, Qin Baobao was caught red-handed. The polite smile that was about to appear on her face instantly froze on her lips.

Her obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up, and she got goosebumps all over her body.

What a sad story.

Seeing her increasingly aloof and unfathomable expression, the city lord became even more respectful.

Qin Baobao put her hands in her pockets and wiped them on her clothes several times. Finally, she decided not to take her hands out, to avoid a similar incident from happening again.

"Kill him! How dare he steal fruit from my tree!"

"Pah, that's shameless. People like him should be beaten to death."

"Killing him and feeding him to the vampires is also a way for him to make a contribution."

Qin Baobao turned her head and saw the ragged young man ignoring the scolding and beating from the crowd, stuffing fruit into his mouth.

"Does our honored guest intend to rescue him? I advise you not to go." The city lord's smile vanished, and his expression became very serious.

“He is a man cursed by angels, and everyone who sees him hates him. He can never leave this city, he stays in this city forever, and suffers endless scorn. He was like this when my grandfather was alive. He was like a monster, never aging or dying.”

A flicker of disgust flashed in the city lord's eyes, and so did everyone around him. Why was everyone else living in fear, while he seemed to be protected by this city?

Qin Baobao paused when her gaze fell on Arthur. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the boy, but Arthur looked at her with clear eyes. In those blue eyes, there was only her own reflection.

Seeing her looking over, he smiled brightly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "What's wrong, Ella?"

"Do you hate that person? That boy who got beaten up."

"Ugh." Arthur didn't even turn his head, keeping his eyes fixed on Qin Baobao, and gave a very perfunctory reply.

Sure enough, Arthur was different from them; he was not affected by the city.

Qin Baobao turned and went to the city lord's mansion, showing no intention of meddling in other people's business.

After a day of rest, it was time for the hunt again that night. After exchanging a few words with the city lord, Qin Baobao boarded her flying artifact and soared into the sky in front of everyone in the city lord's mansion.

Amidst everyone's amazed and envious gazes, Qin Baobao vanished into the darkness, disappearing into the bright moonlight.

With Arthur and Qin Baobao both at the city lord's mansion, Qin Baobao was inevitably distracted. After searching through the surrounding towns, she immediately returned to the city lord's mansion.

"Ah~~~" A shrill scream pierced the night sky, but no one came out to check.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" A little girl grabbed her mother's sleeve in fear, staring nervously at the dark night outside the window.

"The demon is out eating people again! Children, don't run around at night, or you might get eaten by the demon!"

"Mom, if I don't go out, will the demon not eat me?"

"Yes, Linlin, be good, and I won't eat you."

"Okay, I'll be good. Let's go to bed!"

Legend has it that a demon lurks in the City of Angels. Every now and then, it will emerge to devour someone. But with so many people in the City of Angels, the death of one or two won't matter. Everyone just needs to keep their doors and windows tightly shut, making sure the one who dies isn't them.

Qin Baobao heard the scream just as she returned; it was heart-wrenching, agonizing, and piercing.

The surroundings were completely quiet, as if everyone except the person suffering had vanished from the world!

The piercing scream silenced the city, silencing all other sounds. People held their breath, as if waiting for that person's voice to slowly fade from the world.

It seems this so-called City of Angels is not safe at all, harboring much evil and ugliness. The people in this city seem to be deaf and blind, plugging their ears and covering their eyes, refusing to see or hear.

I'm afraid they'll figure it out once they find out the truth.

The people in this city are all cowards, rotten to the core. Unlike modern society, which has police, soldiers, and kind passersby, where justice prevails everywhere.

When Qin Baobao arrived, the person was lying quietly in the yard, motionless. A large axe was embedded in his back, and the yard was covered in blood, the stench of which made people feel nauseous.

Qin Baobao, suppressing her discomfort, went forward to check on the person. Her legs felt weak as she approached, only to find the person had stopped breathing. She immediately held her breath and walked away.

She wasn't afraid of ghosts, but she was afraid of stiff, lifeless corpses.

"Crack!" The sound of a branch breaking rang out from behind, sounding eerily strange in the quiet night.

"Who's there? Come out! Don't hide!" Qin Baobao's voice was shrill and high-pitched, and the terror emanating from her entire body was palpable.
