Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Lin Yu, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Feng, Lao Wang, and the others finally arrived at the gathering place of the dark forces—Nightfall City. The originally large group, after enduring so many hardships along the way, was reduced to just the four of them.

They gazed at the seemingly peaceful yet fraught with hidden dangers of the town, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. The stark contrast between their initial high aspirations and the current desolation cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Lin Yu stood beneath the city walls, his eyes, gleaming like cold stars, radiating unwavering determination and cold resolve. He gazed silently at the tightly closed city gates before him, as if he could see through the thick walls to the hidden dangers and enemies within. After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Brothers, after countless hardships and dangers, we have finally arrived here. Along the way, we have suffered heavy blows and incurable losses. But as long as we have a breath left, we must seek justice for our fallen comrades and let them rest in peace."

Standing to the side, Zhao Ling'er's beautiful eyes were filled with weariness, but even more so with unwavering determination. She looked at Lin Yu and said softly, "Brother Lin Yu, no matter what awaits us ahead, even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, I will never back down."

Lin Feng gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. He gritted his teeth and forced out a harsh word: "Those dark forces lurking in the shadows, the blood debts they owe, they will pay with their own blood!"

The burly Old Wang slammed his heavy broadsword on the ground with a dull thud. He yelled, "That's right! Let's fight these guys! Even if we die, we'll take a few of them with us!"

Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions. He said calmly, "Everyone, don't act rashly. Acting rashly will only put us in greater danger. The most important thing right now is to find a safe place, learn about the specific situation in the city, and then discuss and formulate a comprehensive plan." After saying that, he led the other three quietly around the city gate and headed towards a dilapidated temple on the edge of the city.

The temple, neglected for years, appeared exceptionally dilapidated. The peeling paint on the walls, the broken roof tiles, and the dust and cobwebs covering the floor all spoke of its long and arduous history. However, for the four people there, it had become a temporary haven.

After entering the temple, Lin Yu carefully surveyed his surroundings. Finally, he found a relatively clean spot in a corner and invited everyone to sit down and rest. The group sat together, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

“We know nothing about this Night City. Taking rash action will only put us in a more dangerous situation,” Lin Yu said, frowning.

Lin Feng nodded: "Then what should we do? We can't just keep waiting here."

Zhao Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can disguise ourselves and sneak into the city to gather information."

Old Wang slapped his thigh: "That's a great idea!"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it that way. But everyone must be careful and make sure not to reveal their identities."

They began searching for items to disguise themselves. Lin Yu found a tattered black robe, trying to hide his face in shadow, and smeared some dust on his face to make himself look like a down-on-his-luck vagrant.

Zhao Ling'er changed into a coarse linen dress, casually tied her hair up, and covered half of her face with a headscarf, disguising herself as an ordinary village woman.

Lin Feng put on a baggy jacket, tied a straw rope around his waist, and hid his sword inside the jacket, making him look like an honest farmer.

Old Wang then put on a tattered hat, wrapped his broadsword in cloth, and carried it on his back, pretending to be a traveling merchant.

Once everything was ready, the four figures moved stealthily and cautiously toward the tightly closed gate of Nightfall City, as if they were ghosts.

The moment they stepped into the city, an indescribable atmosphere of oppression enveloped them. The streets were bustling with people, each hurrying along as if something terrifying was chasing them. Moreover, their eyes gleamed with vigilance and fear, creating a chilling atmosphere throughout the city.

Lin Yu, walking at the front, felt a sudden tightness in his chest and instinctively increased his vigilance. His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, constantly scanned his surroundings, not missing a single suspicious movement. Zhao Ling'er, following closely behind him, appeared even more apprehensive. Her petite body trembled slightly, her delicate hands gripping the hem of her dress tightly, her palms already soaked with sweat. At this moment, her heart pounded like a frightened deer, filled with both tension and fear.

Lin Feng tried to appear natural, but his clenched fists betrayed his nervousness.

As he walked, Lao Wang observed the surrounding shops and pedestrians, trying to find some useful information.

Suddenly, a patrol of Black Wolf Gang soldiers approached. Lin Yu and the others' hearts jumped into their throats. They lowered their heads, trying their best to avoid attracting attention.

The patrolmen's gaze swept over them, finally settling on the hilt of the sword Lin Feng had hidden in his sleeve.

"Halt! What are you doing here?" the patrol leader shouted.

Lin Yu forced himself to remain calm and said, "We're just passing through and want to go into the city to find some work."

The patrol leader stepped forward, pulled open Lin Feng's jacket, revealing the sword inside.

"Hmph, bringing swords into the city, what exactly are you plotting?" The leader's face darkened.

Lin Yu and the others felt their hearts race and their minds race as they tried to come up with a solution.

Lin Feng hurriedly explained, "Sir, this sword is for self-defense on the road. We really have no ill intentions."

Just then, a commotion broke out, attracting the attention of the patrolmen.

"Something seems to have happened over there, let's go check it out!" The leader waved his hand and led the patrolmen toward the direction of the commotion.

Lin Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly quickened their pace to blend into the crowd.

Having survived this ordeal, they became even more cautious, realizing that danger could strike at any moment in this city shrouded in darkness.
