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

But it just looks quiet and beautiful.

This curfew policy is still a bit depressing for Gu Jiu.

If the entire sea of ​​suffering follows this policy, he will feel that it is a huge cage.

There are clearly no demons, monsters, or ferocious beasts here, so why are we implementing this policy?

The empress had the same confusion and asked Gu Jiu for his opinion.

The moonlight sprinkled on the stone slabs of the long street, reflecting cold light. Some of the light was as smooth as a mirror, appearing very deserted.

This medieval European-style city should be beautiful at night, but what the two felt was depression.

Gu Jiu looked at the scenery outside the window and said calmly, "I think the people in power here don't like changes. Even though it's not dangerous here at night, they don't want anyone to move around. It's obvious that if our people come here, it will probably be very troublesome."

Yes, how could people who don't like changes and even restrict people's activities at night allow a large number of strangers to come to the land they control?

The Empress stretched and said, "If we can't reach an agreement through negotiation, we have no choice but to fight."

Yes, they have no other choice, this world is their only hope.

Anyway, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At worst, they will just get beaten.

Chapter 26 Peeling

As a result, in the middle of the night, when Gu Jiu was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by a few drops of water.

Rang rubbed the water droplets on his face, and it was undoubtedly the Empress's doing.

But he sat up quickly because from the moment he woke up, he knew someone was coming.

The sound of military boots stepping on wooden boards was obvious, and the person who came had no intention of hiding his whereabouts.

"Room check!" Soon, there was a knock on the door next door, and the sound of someone getting out of bed complaining.

The empress looked at Gu Jiu and swayed her thighs on the bed. Her meaning was very clear: she wanted Gu Jiu to solve this problem.

Gu Jiu looked confused, as if to say - "We didn't do anything, so why are we afraid of the ward inspection?"

But then he realized that they were "illegal residents" and prepared to slip away.

If he doesn't slip away, he will be beaten. The situation is unknown at the moment, and he doesn't want to be exposed so quickly.

So, Gu Jiu rolled up the bedding, carried the empress who was unwilling to move, and disappeared from the room in a flash.

Outside the room, the little girl's forehead was covered in sweat and she was feeling uneasy.

These officers are really something. It has been a long time since they came to check, but they came today just after she let two "illegal residents" in.

If it was discovered, she would be implicated, and she couldn't help but secretly regret earning that little extra money.

"Ward rounds!"

A silver-armored soldier knocked on the door indifferently, and the little girl felt that it was all over.

After knocking for a while, there was no response from inside the house, so the soldier couldn't help but ask, "Is there no one in this room?"

The little girl nodded immediately and said, "Sir, this room is indeed empty. Guests find numbers unlucky."

Seeing the number "14" written on the door, the soldier naturally believed it and prepared to go to the next room. But at this moment, the general with the white feather in his hair said coldly: "Open the door."

After hearing this, the little girl was scared to death.

The reason why the White Feather soldier wanted to check this room was that the expression on the little girl's face changed too obviously.

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the subordinate broke open the door and found that there was indeed no one in the room.

General Bai Yu walked to the open window and looked out, his eyes flickering as if he saw something.

He quickly turned around and walked to the bed, and found that there was no quilt on it. He touched it with his hand and found that the folds of the bed were still a little warm.

He couldn't help but look at the little girl and said coldly, "Are you sure no one lived here before?"

The little girl saw his cold eyes and felt as if she had seen a ferocious wolf. She couldn't help but tremble and said, "A man and a woman eloped before. They didn't have any documents and lived here."

General Bai Yu said coldly, "Chase them!" and walked out of the house.

After that, there was naturally a city-wide manhunt.

Gu Jiu and the empress, who were hiding in the shadow of a roof, looked at the soldiers who suddenly appeared on the street and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "They're just two illegal immigrants who eloped. Is there any need to make such a big fuss? Aren't you even going to sleep?"

They watched General Bai Yu enter the hotel and then gathered people to investigate.

It can be seen that Gu Jiu's guess was correct. The rulers here are very xenophobic. Without identity documents, it is almost impossible to move forward.

But even if the number of soldiers increased tenfold, it would be useless to detect the two of them.

The search was over quickly, and it was obvious that these soldiers were very skilled at this kind of thing.

But until now, Gu Jiu still didn't think that two illegal residents could cause such a big commotion, until he saw the figure of the dwarf.

He saw the dwarf who had been acupunctured by him during the day talking to the White Feather leader.

Gu Jiu knew what the other party was talking about without having to think.

Damn, it seems like Dalang loves his wife very much.

Until this time, the empress was still curled up in the quilt, carried on Gu Jiu's shoulders.

Gu Jiu looked at the empress who was so close to him and said, "You want to know what I'm famous for?"

The empress frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Does it look good?"

Gu Jiu coughed and said, "This one counts, but the other one is more famous."

"what?"

"lazy."

"Oh."

"You know I'm lazy, but you still want me to carry you around. You, as an emperor, are even more evil than the capitalists. You only know how to exploit my surplus value."

Although the empress didn't understand what the capitalist meant, she understood what Gu Jiu meant.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "You didn't have to take me with you at that time."

Gu Jiu said: "Then I have the right to throw you down now."

The empress narrowed her eyes and said, "You can try."

Gu Jiu suddenly got angry, put his left hand on his waist, and pretended to throw the empress out like a javelin.

Unfortunately he didn't. He just threw the other person to the corner of the roof and continued to observe the situation.

Soon, the soldiers on the street returned empty-handed.

Gu Jiu had the opportunity to deal with the dwarf, but he didn't.

Because he is lazy.

For some reason, Gu Jiu always felt that the empress was even lazier than him during this period.

Look, he can lie on the eaves, and he has no intention of leaving the quilt. He looks like a caterpillar.

However, he still showed the demeanor of a gentleman and huddled with the empress to discuss future plans.

The moonlight tonight is beautiful, but he has no mood to appreciate it because the situation in Apocalypse City is probably not very optimistic.

History can be erased so easily, and the patrolling soldiers are so powerful. It can be seen that the owner of Apocalypse City is not easy to mess with.

They had to provoke him even though he was not easy to deal with. It was not until dawn that the two of them came down from the corner of the roof and gradually blended into the crowd.

The city they are in now is only about ten miles away from Apocalypse City, so it is extremely prosperous.

When they arrived here, Gu Jiu and the empress even saw a winged Pegasus flying across the sky, causing people to cheer.

The giant birds that had previously circled over Apocalypse City, and the Pegasus that appeared from time to time, all added a lot of dreamy touches to this epic castle.

Soon, a lot of onlookers appeared in the square ahead, and people were talking about it.

Gu Jiu and the Empress saw at a glance the woman tied to the cross on the platform and the silver-armored warriors who were still looking sinister nearby.

The woman looked very weak, her clothes were torn to pieces, her body was covered with scars, and she looked fragile and frail.

But it was this woman who made the soldiers somewhat alert, as could be seen from the unsheathed swords in the hands of several nearby guards.

It can be seen that this is a scene of execution.

The Empress said calmly, "This woman should be at the third realm level."

Gu Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that there are still rebels in this place?"

At this time, the leading general Bai Yu stepped forward and said coldly, "This woman is an evil demon. She has been practicing evil methods in secret and harming the people. Today, she will be skinned alive."

Hearing the words "punishment by skinning", even Gu Jiu and the empress were shocked.

Chapter 27: Getting angry can be fatal

Skinning is a capital punishment that was once used during the You Dynasty. It was later abolished because it was too cruel. Now it appears in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, which really surprised Gu Jiu and the empress.

After all, they have been here for so many days, and it has been relatively peaceful. If it weren't for the strict curfew, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.

The woman on the stage looked weak and frail, not at all like the so-called evil demon.

The two knew that evil spirits could not be judged by appearances, so they couldn't help but wonder - "Could there really be evil spirits in this place?"

Judging from the two of them, there didn't seem to be anything special about this woman.

The punishment of skinning was very cruel, but Gu Jiu noticed that some of the onlookers looked excited, so he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Only a scream of "Ah!" was heard, and a silver-armored soldier suddenly used an awl to make a bloody hole on the woman's head and poured some liquid into it.

Gu Jiu and the Empress watched all this, neither of them showing any intention of taking action.

They were too unfamiliar with this world and couldn't tell whether this woman was a demon or not. If they acted rashly, they might not only expose themselves but also do something bad with good intentions.

They now have the heavy responsibility of saving tens of millions of their fellow countrymen in the Tang Kingdom, so they have to be cautious.

Even if you are angry, you have to endure it.

As the silver liquid poured into the woman's head, her skin began to peel off and she let out heart-wrenching cries of pain.

Her tongue was cut off, tears were streaming down her face, and she wanted to speak but couldn't.

There were screams of fear and cheers from the audience, and the field was quite chaotic for a while.

Such a scene was naturally bloody and cruel to the extreme, and even Gu Jiu, who had seen many storms, could not bear it.

Only after the skinned woman died completely did he confirm that she was a human being, not a so-called demon.

The Empress watched all this with indifference and said, "Did you see what she wanted to say just now?"

Gu Jiu's expression was grim as he said, "I'm not a demon. I practice the same thing as you."

Although the scene was very horrifying, he still read this sentence from the other person's mouth shape.

The Empress smiled cruelly and said, "It seems that the people here don't like common people practicing."

The two people seemed calm as they talked, but there was a chilling coldness in their calmness.

Yes, they had a very bad impression of the ruler of the ancient Yuan Kingdom.

If it weren't for the heavy responsibility, the two of them would even want to cause trouble.

On the platform, the feathered guard coldly proclaimed the woman's crimes, repeatedly emphasizing that fate is determined by heaven, and that rashly getting involved in this unknown practice will lead to deformation, is evil, and goes against heaven.

"Let's wait and see, maybe it's a special case." The empress said this and walked forward.

I don’t know whether she said this to comfort Gu Jiu or to comfort herself.

The beautiful city would not become dirty because of such a tragedy. The blood on the ground was quickly washed away, and the crowd gradually dispersed in a warm atmosphere, as if this incident had never happened.

For some people, this kind of thing is just a fun show, but for some people it makes them angry.

Some anger can be fatal.

After leaving this large town, Apocalypse City is already in sight.

Looking down from the sky, a wide road paved with gray stone slabs leads directly to the magnificent gate of Apocalypse City, looking like a dragon raising its head.
