Urban Odds: Cry Game

The city that never sleeps——

The bustling city that never sleeps ushered in a strange guest.

Wrapped in a black robe and hood, the man hurried across the street.The streets of the city that never sleeps are lit all year round. The lamp-making technology of the blood race is advanced, and the lamps made are unique in shape. Each street has its own theme street lamp.

The street he walked through was dominated by flowers, and the colorful lamps were decorated with all kinds of flowers, some were real flowers, and some were made into flower-shaped lamps.False and true, people are amazed.

Compared with the brightly lit streets, the huge black tower in the distance looks like a pillar connecting the sky and the earth, looking dark and lonely.

"Oh, how many years have I been here..." Figaro raised his head and said to himself, "At that time, this street was still a wasteland of grass!"

The roadside stalls sell all kinds of strange things, and many Figaros cannot be named.As he walked, he looked and looked around, but there was nothing he wanted to buy.

Since becoming the guardian of the Tower of Babel, Figaro has lived a life of isolation, without having to worry about eating and drinking. He doesn't need to eat at all, just like his older brother Ferrero.It's just that Ferrero is greedy. After becoming a guardian, he still doesn't change his nature. He eats three meals a day, and eats fish and meat.In the words of Ferrero, this is called enjoying life.

"Hey! This little brother!" At the fruit stand, the shopkeeper handed him a big yellow fruit and said with a smile, "Do you want one? Yellow berry, it's new today!"

Many years ago, his elder sister, Olivia, the high priest in red, held a yellow berry and told him with a smile that the fruit was sweet and juicy, delicious!

Figaro touched his pocket, there were still a few coins left in his pocket, he reckoned that he should be able to buy one, so he said, "Then...take it."

"several?"

"One."

"35! Thank you!"

"Hey." Figaro didn't even count, took out the coins and handed them over.

As a result, the shopkeeper was embarrassed: "Little brother, where is this currency?"

Figaro asked: "What about the coins here? You still don't recognize them?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, and took out a few coins to show him: "Little brother, I have never seen your money at all...Now we all use this kind of currency in the city."

Figaro was stunned for a moment, and then he realized belatedly that his coins had long been out of date and could not be used.The shopkeeper returned the coin to him, and Figaro put it in his pocket with a blushing face, and reluctantly returned the yellow berries.

The shopkeeper said disappointedly: "Don't you want it?"

Figaro murmured: "I...don't have your currency...forget it, don't want it."

Seeing him staring at the yellow berries, looking greedy and having no money, the shopkeeper laughed and said, "Forget it, take it, this fruit is for you!"

Figaro reciprocated, took out a few herbs from his pocket, and exchanged them for fruits.

The shopkeeper happily accepted it.

When Figaro was far away, the shopkeeper took out the herb, looked at it carefully, then picked off a leaf and put it in his mouth to taste.

"Hey! Good stuff!" The shopkeeper said in amazement, "It's really a rejuvenation grass!"

Resurrection Grass is a very precious medicinal material, which has the effect of healing and expelling poison.It is precious because it only grows near the Tongtian Tower, and the Tongtian Tower is regarded as a forbidden area for tens of miles. It is said that there is a god of death hovering, and those who enter it will die.There are very few people who can pick the Resurrection Grass, and the young man who passed by seemed to not know the value of the Resurrection Grass, and wasted everything and everything in exchange for fruit.

Figaro walked and ate all the way, and when he got to the bottom of the black tower, he had already eaten the fruit, leaving a small core.Figaro put away the fruit core, thinking about taking it back and planting it, maybe next year there will be fruit to eat.

The giant black tower has a barrier, but this barrier is nothing to Figaro.He easily penetrated the barrier and walked up the stairs.There are no lights in the tower, the only source of light is the light coming in from the windows.The inside of the tower was extremely dark, and after going up to the second floor, the hustle and bustle of the street could no longer be heard, only the sound of his own footsteps going upstairs echoed in his ears.

For a moment, Figaro felt that there was something extra around him.Figaro turned his head abruptly, and the bottom of the stairs was pitch black.He stood on the steps, waited for a while, and continued to go upstairs.A gleam of light flashed in the air, and by the time Figaro noticed it was too late, the gleam was just across his neck like a very thin line.As Figaro moved, the line cut straight into his neck like a sharp blade.

"What is this...?" Figaro rubbed his neck and looked back.

If it was an ordinary person, his head would definitely be separated at this moment.But no wound was visible on Figaro's neck, not even a drop of blood flowed.This is the price of becoming a guardian. He is no longer a human being, but has become another higher-level life form.

Figaro raised his hand to fish the air, and the line was gone, as if it was an illusion just now, but Figaro knew that the line existed, and wanted to kill him silently.

"Who?" Figaro looked around vigilantly. He didn't expect that there was an assassin in Lilith's barrier?

But he didn't feel any aura, it wasn't human, it wasn't vampire, and it didn't even seem like it was a demon?

What the hell is it?

During the subsequent journey, Figaro kept paying attention to his surroundings, but the strange thin thread never appeared again.He went all the way to the top of the tower and walked to the room where Lilith was.

The door in the corridor leading to Lilith's room was closed. Figaro stood outside the door on the first floor and said loudly, "Lilith! Open the door!"

A sigh sounded in the darkness, and it turned out that there was still a person standing by the door.The man walked out of the shadows, stood in front of Figaro, and looked him up and down: "The one who can freely enter and exit the barrier...is it Figaro, the god of death?"

"You are..." Figaro recognized him after pondering for a while, "The Great Elder of the Blood Race?"

"It's me." The Great Elder saluted him respectfully, "I don't know why the honored guest came to Lilith?"

The elders of the blood clan are loyal, and they take care of the usual affairs.But what happened to Figaro was special, and they couldn't handle it for them.Figaro said coldly: "You can't help, this matter must be handled by Lilith... What happened to her? She fell asleep again?"

The Great Elder said: "Yes, it has been sleeping for a while."

Figaro went to the door and removed a candlestick.Behind the candlestick is a smooth wall. Figaro put his hands on the wall, centering on his hands, many glowing lines spread out, extending and intertwining with each other, outlining irregular patterns.Figaro's fingers jumped quickly on the pattern, and the elder stood aside, watching intently.

Pressing the last button, there was a buzz in the corridor, and the closed doors opened one by one.However, the Great Elder soon discovered that even if the door was opened, it was useless. Just like last time, he couldn't approach Lilith's room at all.

"The protection mechanism has not been lifted, and no one else can go in except me." Figaro has already walked into the corridor, and soon he can't even see his shadow, only a voice comes from a distance, "You wait outside, wait I'll wake her up, and you can report to her again!"

Lilith's room was pitch black, and Figaro yelled a few times, but got no response.

Lilith fell into a deep sleep, and he tried many methods, but he couldn't wake him up at all.

"Lilith, wake up!" Figaro shouted again, "There is a problem with the coordinates you gave, and several people have gone to the sky and the moon through the coordinates... Didn't you say that you only gave one guide Huh? Hey! Get up! Don't pretend to be dead!!!"

No response.

Figaro babbled again, discouraged.

"Hey, this trip was a waste of time." Figaro muttered when he went out, and touched his pocket. Fortunately, he harvested a seed.

The Great Elder waited respectfully outside the door, seeing Figaro coming out, his eyes lit up immediately.

Figaro extinguished his expectation with one sentence: "Lilith hasn't woken up yet... There's no way, I can't wake her up either."

The Great Elder said disappointedly: "Oh..."

Figaro patted him: "I don't think her situation is very optimistic. The next time she wakes up, it will be shorter. You can report on the key points."

"Ok."

"Also, please bring me a sentence, there is a problem with the coordinates, and it has been shared by many people."

"Okay..." The Great Elder listened, but Figaro didn't explain anything.

The Great Elder asked, "What... is the coordinate?"

Figaro seemed unwilling to say more, and said perfunctorily: "Lilith knows."

The Great Elder accompanied Figaro to the stairs.

Figaro asked, "You are the only one in the tower?"

The Great Elder said respectfully: "Yes."

"Where's Lilith's guard?"

"out."

"Oh."

Figaro stared at him and asked tentatively, "Have you ever seen...a line?"

The Great Elder asked confusedly, "What thread?"

Figaro suddenly reached out, grabbed the elder's wrist, pulled the other's hand in front of him, looked at it, and touched it carefully.

The Great Elder was startled by him, and tremblingly said: "Master Figaro...you, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing." After checking the opponent's hands, Figaro let go of him and walked downstairs without looking back.

After a long time, when Figaro came out of the tower, the Great Elder went to the candlestick, imitating his movements and moving the candlestick away, revealing the smooth wall.However, when he put his hand on it, there were no glowing lines.

The Great Elder rubbed his hands, and as he opened and closed his hands, he stretched out several thin silk threads out of thin air.He manipulated the silk thread into the crack of the wall, but there was still no movement on the wall.

The Great Elder shook his head: "Oh, it seems that only Figaro can use this procedure."

Around the capital of the sea of ​​clouds——

The morning in the deep mountains is full of coolness. Colleague A sits on a rock, hugging his knees and looking at the slowly rising sun.

A gust of wind blew, and colleague A sneezed big, and the nose flowed out immediately.

Suddenly, a coarse cloth shirt flew over and covered colleague A's head impartially.Through the rough cloth shirt, a big warm hand was placed on it and rubbed his head.

"Big slob, you deserve it for being lazy, right?" Odd laughed loudly, "Hurry up and put it on."

"I didn't steal... sneez!" Colleague A sniffed and went to carry the bucket with his clothes on.After two days of walking without sleep, everyone was exhausted.Seeing that they were about to reach the capital of the sea of ​​clouds, the guards and the demon hunters decided to give them a few hours to rest.During this time, everyone can catch up on sleep and cook.

Ord has a bucket in one hand, and colleague A has a bucket in both hands.Ode walked fast, returned to the camp soon, put down the bucket, walked quickly to colleague A, took the bucket, and said with a smile: "Is it useful? Look, walk halfway, and sprinkle halfway."

Just as he was talking, there was a splash behind him. It turned out that Alpha was halfway there, and the water was spilled!

"Hey, that fellow Alpha, you can spill even a piece of water, what a disgrace!...Use your magic to freeze the water into ice?" After loading the bullet, he pretended to aim at Plato, and said, "Bang! Another headshot!"

"I told you that you've got the wrong person!" Plato sipped hot tea angrily, "Also, don't you care about the front? What are you doing here? There's no food for you!"

"Come and supervise the Holy Son!" The demon hunter raised his chin in the direction of Zhou Yang and Aix without hesitation, "One of these two, right?"

"I don't know!" Plato got up and sat beside Mo Yu far away.

The demon hunter was humming absently with grass in his mouth, but in fact his eyes never moved away from Aix.He and Alpha had locked on the target, and they were short of proof that the other party was the Son of God.

A girl came in sight.

The demon hunter turned his head: "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Um... are you in charge of the front line?" Yingluo asked timidly, "Have you... met my parents?"

"I don't know." The demon hunter raised his hand and circled the crowd, "Look, there are thousands of people in our area, and the whole team is at least tens of thousands. I don't care about the population, so how would I know which one is you?" Mom and Dad?"

"..." Yingluo pursed her mouth, tears rolling in her eyes.

The demon hunter said: "When you arrive at the destination, they will be registered centrally. You don't have to worry, as long as they are on the same road with you, they will naturally meet you when the time comes."

"Yeah." Yingluo rubbed her eyes and looked in the direction of Tiedao Town.She missed her small hotel so much, and she didn't know when she would be able to go back after leaving.

The demon hunter also followed her gaze.

Suddenly, a large number of frightened birds flew in the direction of Tie Dao Town, and then there was a loud noise, and the earth shook. Everyone stood up and looked in the direction of Tie Dao Town at the same time.

"What happened?" "An earthquake?"

"boom--"

The second shock came, and the thick smoke from Railway Town shot straight into the sky.

"It's on fire!" "Railway Town is on fire!" "What's going on?! Is there a fire?!" "It seems like something exploded?!"

"...?!" The demon hunter spat out the grass stalk, and exchanged a glance with Alpha.

They knew it wasn't an earthquake, and it wasn't a fire.

The orc army has arrived.

The speed of the orcs was one day earlier than expected. They had already broken through the city wall and entered Railway Town...
