Gu An was excited, quickened his pace, and quickly walked to the shore.
What he saw was a thin human being wrapped in black cloth, bent over, sitting on the edge of the bed, unable to distinguish between male and female.
"Hello?"
Gu An tried to shout and said hello.
He felt in his heart that this might just be a dried skull.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people here..."
Surprisingly, this person answered Gu An's words, his voice was hoarse, he couldn't tell the gender, he just felt very old.
Gu An was overjoyed: "Where is this place? Are you again?"
The man wrapped in black cloth moved his body at this time, and looked at Gu An, then he slowly lifted the black cloth on his head.
Gu An was startled, what he saw was a rotten skull, although it was not as straightforward and hollow as a skull, but the skull seemed to be no different from a skull after a few days.
Neither human nor ghost, Gu An was not sure what kind of existence this was, so he subconsciously took a few steps back in vigilance.
The person sitting on the bow looked at Gu An's actions and chuckled: "It seems that my appearance scares you."
"My name is Bai Liu. I am both a human and a ghost. In short, I am neither human nor ghost... I don't remember how long this state lasted. I only know that I am used to everything here, and I am used to loneliness. I thought, One day, I'll forget how to talk..."
"But after actually seeing humans, I found that I still remember, these are all engraved in my bones..."
Bai Liu introduced himself. He spoke slowly and his voice was hoarse, as if his vocal cords were injured.
Gu An was not in a hurry, and listened to him patiently.
However, at this time, he saw Bai Liu's legs, with a strange dagger nailed to them, nailing his entire legs to the boat plank, making him unable to move.
Bai Liu saw his legs following Gu An's gaze, he chuckled: "This is what the city lord did..."
"It hates me, so it doesn't kill me, but keeps me here, with loneliness, and keeps looking at those compatriots hanging on the tower..."
My compatriots hanging on the tower?
When Gu An heard this, he immediately looked back, and saw those lonely skeletons hanging in the air were still shaking there.
But this time, when Gu An looked at it, he was no longer expressionless, but more sad. These human heroes, after death, did not even have a place to rest, but were violently corpses here...
"Hehe, rather than living like this, I hope to be like them and be with them..."
"If we can go back to the past and fight together, that will be even better..."
Gu An looked at Bai Liu silently, this man was also one of those heroes who guarded the land behind him back then.
Without saying anything provocative, Gu An looked at Bai Liu and said softly, "Who is the city lord?"
Bai Liu shook his head: "We call this place hell, and the city owner is naturally this city, the owner of this hell, it is the most powerful weirdness we have ever seen."
"Back then, we investigated the source of the weirdness and finally entered the land of extreme darkness, but lost our way on a barren plain, and then we came here."
"When we first came here, the city owner hadn't appeared yet. We thought it was an ancient city without an owner. We found that a batch of paper dolls in this ancient city would leave here every once in a while to go to the outside world. In the ancient city, paper dolls People have no emotions, no actions."
"But after leaving the ancient city, they will turn into all kinds of strange things. They are extremely powerful and kill our compatriots..."
"We found that the paper figurines in this ancient city are almost continuous, and there must be a source. Then we searched in the ancient city, and finally found some clues. We suspect that the owner behind the paper figurines is the city lord. These paper figurines were all cut by him. from……"
Gu An was taken aback: "Cut out?"
Bai Liu nodded: "That's right, the city lord has special means. Let's observe these paper figurines carefully. There are traces of cutting on their bodies..."
"So, we continued to search for the source and confronted the city lord..."
"In the beginning, the city lord didn't show up, and the ones who confronted us were all paper figures. We were evenly matched. At one point, we even felt that as long as we wiped out these paper figures, the outside world would be restored to peace."
"But we still recruited the city lord after all, and then, we all died... only me, I survived, the city lord said that he would let me watch, watch these brothers..."
At the end of Bai Liu's speech, his voice was a little choked up, and some tears slowly fell on that rotten face.
It seemed to recall some sad past.
Gu An didn't continue to ask, and looked at Bai Liu: "Your current ship is in the direction of the city lord?"
Bai Liu nodded slowly: "Yes, it said that there might be someone coming in later, and newcomers are always welcome to find it..."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu An again and smiled: "It's nice to be young, we were the same back then, confident and in full bloom, thinking about making a career..."
"But in the end...Young man, if you are the only one here, I advise you to go back quickly before the city lord finds you..."
Gu An could feel Bai Liu's fear of the city lord, which was completely different from the meaningless mentality indicated by those words engraved on the outside.
Bai Liu was scared, or rather, he didn't want to see his compatriots die in front of his eyes, causing him another bit of pain.
Gu An looked at Bai Liu and smiled: "If the city lord is really so powerful and so incomprehensible, why does he keep guarding in this ancient city instead of going outside? It can only be done by the paper-cut man?"
"The mighty city owner is probably only in the city. Without this ancient city, it is nothing."
Bai Liu looked at Gu An, and he sighed: "Why haven't I thought about it this way, but we are in the city after all, and the city lord will not leave the city, so no matter what you say, you still have to take it. Half way."
Gu An shook his head: "I don't need to do anything with it, I just try its depth."
Bai Liu frowned: "You try it, and you will lose your life in the end."
Gu An kept smiling: "Thank you for reminding me, senior, but don't worry about me. I'm not someone who wants to die as soon as I get hot. I can say that, of course I have the certainty of saving my life."
Naturally, Gu An couldn't explain to Bai Liu that he could read files.
He really just wanted to see what kind of thing this city lord is. Perhaps, this is the final goal. The source of the extremely dark land and the master behind the scenes should be this city lord.
Bai Liu looked at Gu An for a long time, looked at that confident gaze, without a trace of fear, and asked again: "Okay, I can send you there, but have you really thought about it? There is only one life, there is no need to send it here here."
Gu An smiled: "I don't want to die either, so don't worry, I've already thought about it."
"But before I go, I want to guard the corpses of these seniors..."
As Gu An said, he turned his head and looked towards the tower again, his eyes were soft and respectful.
The hero's corpse should not hang here, and it should not be left in the wilderness.
When Bai Liu heard this, his eyes instantly became moist.
Another drop of tears fell, covering the black robe on her body.
His voice was choked and trembling: "Okay..."
