I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

Zhao Xue sighed and said, "It doesn't really matter whether it's open or not. The King of Hell will kill someone at three o'clock in the morning and won't keep them alive until five o'clock."

The confidant still refused to give up and said, "Sir, don't you think it's strange?"

"What else in this city isn't strange? Someone could die suddenly in a house like that. What could be stranger?"

"I have a feeling that the thing hiding in the dark wants to drive us out of the city." The girl who looked like a maid said tremblingly.

Zhao Xue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My lord, think about it, the fog outside lingers for a long time, and once you go in, you will never come back. But the fog in the city only appears at night. Moreover, compared with the batches of deaths outside the city, if the iron statues in the city are not moved, only one person will die every day." The girl replied.

Only one person dies every day. The tone is not right, but it seems to have grasped the key point.

Zhao Xue pondered and said, "You mean, that thing in the dark is afraid of something in the city, so it only dares to act at night, and its effects are limited?"

The girl nodded and said, "Sir, there's no need to be so dejected. You should know that there are at least a few thousand people left in the city. If they die one by one, there will always be a turning point. This is better than letting them die in droves."

Zhao Xue looked at the girl and nodded, saying admiringly, "You clever little girl, you're right."

Soon, the city gate was closed again. Some people wanted to make a fuss and leave, but they were suppressed.

In the words of the defenders, going out would mean certain death, and although staying in the city seemed like waiting for death, there was still a glimmer of hope.

As a result, the people in the city have been living in fear, fearing that the newly discovered iron statue might look like them.

Zhao Xue had just regained her spirits when she received bad news.

Yes, bad news.

The newly discovered iron statue today looks like her.

After hearing the news, Zhao Xue sat on the stool in a daze, her face full of panic.

She watched the tea shop owner die, and she knew how horrible that kind of death was.

Half an hour later, she finally calmed down and revealed an extremely bitter smile.

At this time, she stood up and gestured that she wanted to go and see the iron statue.

The location where the iron man statue appeared was different each time. After more than ten days like this, it always gave people the feeling that one day the entire city would be completely occupied by the iron man, and real people would become the minority.

This feeling is so oppressive that it is impossible for anyone to truly feel at ease.

It's like being on an isolated island surrounded by ferocious sharks. How can the people on the island not be anxious as they watch the island sinking?

The iron statue that looks like Zhao Xue appears on the city wall.

When Zhao Xue arrived there, she found the entire iron man lying on the ground like a bitch.

This posture is naturally ugly, but this is not what Zhao Xue cares about.

When she saw that face, her heart almost stopped.

The sculpture of the iron man looked rough and blurry, but Zhao Xue felt that it was herself at first glance.

It was difficult for Zhao Xue to describe this feeling. She just felt very uneasy inside.

After taking a look, she decided not to look again, and when she came back, her face was already haggard.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Xue had been making arrangements for her funeral, mainly about how to deal with the subsequent situation.

As she talked about her plans, she drank tea as usual. She looked no different from usual, but there was a tragic atmosphere.

At this moment, a female constable rushed in and said excitedly, "Sir, someone is coming from outside the city."

After hearing this, everyone present stood up excitedly.

This was the first time someone came in from outside since the strange incident.

Zhao Xue seemed to have seen a turning point and asked, "How many people have come? Are they the Xuanjia Army or cultivators?"

The constable took a breath and said, "A person, a very young girl."

After hearing this answer, many people present couldn't help but feel discouraged.

What's the point of this for a person, especially a young girl?

Zhao Xue was not as passive as these people, because this might be her last chance, so she directly ordered: "Let her in quickly."

When Gu Xiaoxiao stood in the yamen, she found that everyone was looking at her with a very cautious expression.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "What happened in the city?"

Zhao Xue immediately had tea served and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, are you a cultivator?"

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I learned from the Yunshan Sword Sect."

The Yunshan Sword Sect was a well-known sect in the north, but it was completely unknown in the Jiangnan region. Finally, one of the elderly women couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Young lady, are your elders nearby? Will they come to your aid? The situation in the city is very difficult, and you're young. I'm afraid you can't help..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Xue stopped her with a look.

Gu Xiaoxiao said: "The Sword Sect is in the north, and I came here alone this time, but I still want to know what happened in the city."

Seeing her calm expression at such a young age, and the aura of a natural strong person, many people present couldn't help but look at the girl in front of them with admiration.

But although they looked at her with admiration, none of them thought that Gu Xiaoxiao could solve the problem.

Zhao Xue described the general situation in the city, especially the matter about the tea shop owner. She seemed a little excited when she spoke.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought about this matter and felt that this description was as if someone had cast a spell on her.

Whenever an iron statue appears in the city, the person corresponding to the iron statue will die.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "The city guard will come with me tonight. Bring the iron man over as well. I want to see what tricks he can perform."

After hearing what Gu Xiaoxiao said, Zhao Xue, who had already lost hope, quickly arranged the matter.

It's better to try every possible means.

Chapter 10 Illuminating Your Beauty

Normally, the iron statue would commit crimes at night, so Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Xue had enough time to prepare.

As the people in the yamen went about moving the terrifying iron statue with bitter faces, Gu Xiaoxiao said seriously, "City Guard Zhao, which tailor shop in the city is the best?"

Zhao Xue was a little confused for a moment, and wondered to herself: "Could it be that exterminating ghosts is related to the tailor shop?"

Although she was puzzled, she remained calm and said, "The Sun family in the city should be the best."

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she said, "Then wait for me, Zhao Chengshou. I'll go make two new clothes and come back."

Hearing Gu Xiaoxiao's words, Zhao Xue immediately grabbed her and said with a look of confusion: "Master, why bother to come here in person if you want to make clothes? I'll ask someone to invite Tailor Sun."

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "That would be great."

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao still innocently wanting to make clothes at this time, Zhao Xue couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. She just thought that this little girl in front of her was too unreliable.

We should try our best to save the dying horse, but the one who comes to treat it has to be a veterinarian, right?

When the strange iron statue was wrapped in thick cloth and carried to the yamen like a live pig, Gu Xiaoxiao was asking the young lady of the Sun family to measure her size.

The main reason why Gu Xiaoxiao came to Xiangyun City this time was for some nice new clothes.

After practicing for a long time, one should be indifferent to everything, but Gu Xiaoxiao still retains a lot of fun.

Just like Lu Hongling said, no matter how much one cultivates immortality, one is still a human being. Once a person loses interest and emotion, no matter how high his realm is, what is the point?

Gu Xiaoxiao was more or less influenced by her master, and her brother was also the same.

Look at him, he is so powerful, but he still likes to lie down all the time, right?

So maturity is not about eliminating desires, sometimes it is about satisfying desires.

After hearing the young lady from the Sun family telling her about how many styles and patterns of clothes her family could make, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she made it clear that she wanted them all.

"I want them all!" These three words proved that Gu Xiaoxiao had really grown up.

The detectives were speechless for a moment when they saw Gu Xiaoxiao's performance.

They secretly lamented that their city defense was probably hopeless, and felt that the adults were really pitiful, as how could they believe in such a little girl.

Sometimes, it is better to have no hope than to have hope repeatedly extinguished.

Soon, the young lady from the Sun family went downstairs to cut clothes, leaving the iron man wrapped tightly in thick cloth standing there.

Gu Xiaoxiao had never seen the iron man before, and she thought his posture looked like a dog.

The sky soon grew darker and night was finally approaching.

Gu Xiaoxiao had another big meal in the yamen. Her appetite made people think that she was just there to eat and drink for free.

After Gu Xiaoxiao had eaten and drunk her fill, the night had completely enveloped the entire city.

As usual, the yamen was brightly lit. Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Xue sat opposite each other, just like Zhao Xue and the tea shop owner yesterday.

What was even more terrifying than last night was that there was now an iron man in the house who looked very similar to Zhao Xue.

The iron statue was in the corner of the room, only three meters away from the two of them.

Zhao Xue was very nervous, but Gu Xiaoxiao was quite relaxed and was trying on the new clothes made by the tailor.

Women are naturally unable to resist the temptation of beautiful new clothes, no matter which world they live in.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao like this, Zhao Xue almost burst into tears.

It's already night, can't you be a little serious?

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao, who had just put on a new blue gown, looked quite gentle, but her next sentence tore this "gentleness" to pieces.

"Chef, please give me some more midnight snacks, preferably more." Gu Xiaoxiao said as she poured a cup of tea for herself and Zhao Xue. It seemed that she was the host of this place.

Zhao Xue looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and said, "Didn't you just eat?"

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and replied, "I like this place more and more. Not only are the clothes beautifully tailored, but the food is also delicious."

Zhao Xue rubbed her smooth forehead, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao comforted him, "Don't worry too much, City Defender. Didn't you say that if you can survive, you will be lucky. If you can't survive, it is also your fate."

Zhao Xue smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "Miss Gu is right, you are really good at comforting people."

Zhao Xue recalled that she seemed to have used the same tone of comfort from the tea shop owner last night.

Thinking of the dead look of the proprietress, and then looking at the iron man not far from her, Zhao Xue felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Midnight was approaching quickly and everyone became nervous, including Gu Xiaoxiao.

She had been acting calm, but in reality she just wanted to relax.

After all, this was the first time she had to deal with such a thing alone.

Last time in Miaojiang, she had Zhu Qiaoqiao to discuss with, but this time she was alone.

She is the only ordinary person walking in the fog, and the people in this city only rely on her.

She began to understand why humans wanted to practice cultivation and become immortals.

As mortals, we feel powerless to be at the mercy of demons.

If these ordinary people were given a choice, they would probably rather sacrifice ten years of their lives than have such a feeling.

Those who have the qualifications to practice cultivation in this world are all lucky ones, and as such lucky ones, what they need to do is not to hide away to practice, but to stand up at this time.

Because there are no gods to save people in this world, and the only hope for humans is to save themselves.

Practitioners often play the role of gods.

Time flows like water. Besides a pot of tea, there is also Gu Xiaoxiao's Zen stick on the table.

Zhao Xue discovered that in this strange and cold world, only this Zen staff could give her some peace of mind.

Yes, she felt that this Zen stick was more reliable than Gu Xiaoxiao.

At least……

At this moment, the ring of the Zen staff on the table suddenly shook, making a crisp sound.

Almost at the same time, the lamp on the table began to shake, as if it would go out at any time.

But there is clearly no wind, so why is the light shaking so violently?

Not long after, the sound of the night watchman knocking on the bell was heard outside.

"Boom! -- Boom! Boom!"

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"
