Chapter 13 Small but perfectly formed
"Young man, this way please!"
At the entrance to the City of Slaughter, the shopkeeper respectfully led Huanming the way.
Upon closer inspection, one will notice that the shop owner has some fist marks on his face and walks with a limp.
It's not hard to guess that he must have been taught a lesson by Huanming, and the boss no longer dared to underestimate this "kid".
A wise man knows when to yield; since he can't beat them, the boss has no choice but to lead the way for Huanming.
Anyway, it was Huanming who wanted to enter the City of Slaughter. If he dies or gets injured, it's not his fault.
How much further?
Huanming frowned; before him lay a pitch-black passage.
He had been walking for a long time, but still couldn't see the end.
"It's just ahead."
After another ten minutes or so, some light finally pierced through the passage.
Huanming instinctively covered his eyes; after being in the dark for so long, the sunlight suddenly felt a bit too bright.
Not only was there sunlight, but also a pungent smell of blood.
"Halt! Who goes there!"
The shop owner immediately said respectfully, "You are new Fallen Ones. Please do us a favor."
"A Fallen One? What, a little brat?"
"There wasn't a trace of depravity about him."
Huanming then noticed two guards standing not far in front of them, both wearing masks so their faces were obscured.
Judging from their expressions, they were unwilling to let Huanming in.
That's true; after all, a fallen person of Huanming's age is truly unprecedented.
It's unclear what the shop owner said to the two guards, but in the end, the two guards nodded and agreed to release the person.
"Alright, alright, go in." The guard impatiently took out a mask and tossed it to Huanming.
Huanming took the mask and thanked him softly.
The shop owner walked back to Huanming's side and said with a smile, "Young man, don't blame me if you die in there."
"rest assured."
Guided by the guards, Huanming successfully entered the City of Slaughter.
However, as soon as he stepped in, he felt a strange suppressive force.
That suppressive force didn't come from the Soul Master, but rather seemed to come from the power of the formation.
This is probably why Soul Masters cannot use their Soul Skills here.
There is still some suppression, but it doesn't have much effect on Huanming because he doesn't have any spirit rings.
Shortly after he entered the Killing City, a woman wearing a black veil walked towards him.
"child?"
Huanming retorted, "Is the City of Slaughter off-limits to children?"
"No, that's not it. It's just that letting a child in is tantamount to courting death, and besides, you don't have time to back out now," the woman in black chuckled.
"I have no intention of going back on my word."
She handed Huanming a waist token and said, "Everyone who comes to the City of Slaughter will have a newbie protection period. During the protection period, the Fallen Ones will not attack you."
"As for whether you can survive after the protection period ends, that depends on your own abilities."
Huanming nodded as he accepted the waist token: "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. My code name is Yun Sha, and I'm specifically in charge of this under the King of Slaughter," Yun Sha said nonchalantly.
"Come up with a code name for yourself; no one is allowed to use their real name here."
"Kuiba".
"Kuiba? Very well, from this day forward, you are a member of the City of Slaughter. Welcome to this paradise of sin."
Huanming shook his head. "I didn't come here to fall into depravity."
"Oh? Lord Kuiba, what brings you here?"
"Being chased, I had no choice but to hide here."
Yun Sha couldn't help but laugh. "Lord Kuiba, believe me, it's actually much safer outside than in the City of Slaughter. You'll regret your decision."
Do I have a place to live?
"There is a beginner period, of course. But like I said, once the beginner period is over, everything will depend on your own efforts. This is a world where fists do the talking. Heh, come with me."
Yun Sha led the way with graceful steps, while Huan Ming followed silently behind.
On the way to her residence, Yun Sha also told Huan Ming about the rules of the Killing City.
In short, foreign currencies don't work very well here; Bloody Mary is essentially the currency of Killing City.
Aside from food, lodging, maids, status, and so on, all of these had to be exchanged for Bloody Mary.
Bloody Mary has an irresistible allure for the fallen; if Bloody Mary is provided in the right way, even the King of Slaughter can be rendered useless!
Of course, this is just an exaggeration, but it shows how important Bloody Mary is.
Midway through the journey, Huanming noticed that many people were watching him; they were both men and women, and all of them were giving him evil looks.
"Hey, you're still young, little brother. Want to play a game with me?"
"Hehe... little devil, have you ever tasted a woman's flavor? I can let you have a taste tonight, it's free."
"Where did this brat come from? He's got no flesh on him, how much Bloody Mary can he squeeze out of him?"
"Small but perfectly formed, haha, kid, I've got my eye on you!"
Huanming had no doubt that if Yunsha hadn't been walking ahead, these people would have already swarmed forward.
There's nothing that can be done about it; he's just a child now, so naturally everyone bullies him.
Yun Sha swept her gaze over the fallen ones around her and sneered, "Get out of here! It's still the newbie protection period. If you want to make a move, you'll have to wait until the time is up. Anyone who dares to break the rules, I'll take their life!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Yunsha, you don't want to have him all to yourself, do you? I know you haven't been with a man in a long time."
Yun Sha walked over and slapped the fallen woman, yelling, "If you dare utter another word of nonsense, I'll cut your tongue out!"
Along the way, Huanming was finding it hard to stay calm.
Why did he feel that these female fallen ones were more dangerous than the male fallen ones?
The Fallen Man wanted to kill him, but only for Bloody Mary.
But these fallen women were all like wolves and tigers, as if they hadn't seen a man in eight hundred years.
Judging from her tone, it wasn't just about the Bloody Mary on him; she also wanted to enjoy herself before killing him.
The Killing City is indeed a paradise for the fallen.
You're unlikely to encounter such a "bold" woman outside.
Before long, they finally arrived at their lodging. It was a very small house with no strange smells, only a faint smell of blood.
Yun Sha said, "This will be your residence for the next twelve hours. Is there a problem?"
"no problem."
"During the protection period, you can contact me if you have any questions."
Huanming removed the mask from his face. "Thank you."
Upon seeing Huanming's true face, Yunsha was slightly moved: "Handsome young man, you'd better put on your mask after leaving this room."
"Why?" Huanming simply felt that the mask was a bit stuffy to wear.
"Because the Fallen in the Killing City mostly wear masks, which is also a symbol of their identity. Fallen without masks are at the bottom of the social hierarchy here, and if they go out, they will probably be surrounded and killed."
