The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 274 The Traitor in the Hanging City (Part )

Doula Hassad.

He was born in a desert in the wasteland of the old war.

He was once a friend of Chen Boxu, and maybe he is now.

Although he did some things that his friends couldn't stand.

He even took the opportunity to steal an astronomical sum of money from his friend, plus some rare relics that had just been dug up by his friend in a certain ruins...

"But in general, I don't actually hate him that much." Chen Boxu said when he went downstairs, "Because I know that his brain is not good. If you want to say that this person is bad, it's not that bad. At least he’s not as bad as me.”

"You also know that you are not a good person?" Lawrence muttered softly.

"If you can't speak, you can shut up." Chen Bofu turned around and glared at him angrily.

Seeing that Lawrence remained silent, Chen Bofu continued to talk to Chen Jing about the past.

"From the first day I met him, I thought Hassad was a lunatic."

"How do you say it?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"He firmly believes that our world is abnormal." Chen Bofu lit a cigarette, and the scarlet fire was extremely eye-catching in the dark corridor. "He said that when he was young, he dreamed of another world more than once. That world was far away. It’s much more normal than what we have here, much more real even.”

Chen Jing remained silent.

Even the "self" in his mind fell silent.

"Another real world?" Lawrence seemed to be very interested in Hassad's idea. "His statement seems to be very similar to the concept of the sorcerer in the Hanging City."

"Yes, those alchemists also believe this. If you cross the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore, you can see the ultimate reality hidden behind the illusion." Chen Bofu shook his head in disdain, "You ask me to say that I want to do so much. Well, can’t we just live well?”

"Perhaps people have different pursuits." Yanque walked behind and spoke in a very soft voice, "Everything we pursue is meaningless to them, and vice versa..."

"Mr. Chen, he said he was a bard, is it true?" Wei Nan suddenly asked, "What kind of stupid profession is that?"

"I'm just a hymn singer." Chen Bofu said perfunctorily.

"Does it sound good?" Wei Nan was even more curious.

"It's awful to listen to." Chen Bofu complained mercilessly, "It's either praising the power of some ancient gods, or it's a delusional poem about imagining another world. No one likes it anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Boxu continued to chat with everyone about why Hassad wanted to join the Hanging City.

In fact, the reason why Hassad joined the Hanging City is not complicated. He just wanted to use the methods of those alchemists to gain enlightenment.

He just wanted to try to leave his body and go to the virtual digital space, where he might be able to find the door to the real world.

"As you all know, nothing was found, so... I guess he didn't want to continue wasting his life in the Hanging City, so he simply left there and ran into the wasteland to open up wasteland."

"It's not easy to be a traitor in the Hanging City." Lawrence sighed, "For someone like him who has obtained the status of an alchemist, once he leaves the Hanging City and disconnects from the research association, there will be endless sending of people there. Chase him until you bring him back in body.”

"The Hanging City is so cruel?" Wei Nan exclaimed, "Isn't this enough to make people resign??"

"I also resigned. Do you think I'm better off?" Yanque explained helplessly, seeming to understand Hassad's situation.

"For the madmen in the research association, every alchemist is the product of the miracle of Tianzun's mercy, so defecting to the Hanging City is the most unforgivable act, but they don't want to kill anything, they just want you to take away what belongs to Tianzun Just return the things." Lawrence explained.

In fact, in the previous conversation, Chen Jing saw several things similar to prosthetics from Hassad, but to be honest...those things looked quite backward, at least not as good as the equipment of Li Mobai and his alchemists. Too same.

If you really want to compare.

Li Mobai and the others were like people living in the cyber era.

And this Hassad lives in the age of steam.

"You guys go faster!"

Hassad's voice came from downstairs, and the door creaked, followed by dynamic music.

Follow the voice of Hassad.

Everyone walked through the dark corridor on the last floor.

Follow him through the iron gate.

Chen Jing felt like he had suddenly arrived in the 1990s.

"The area of ​​this building is so big..."

Chen Jing looked at the crowded "small city" in front of him and felt a little incredible. Because they walked down from the narrow rooftop step by step, everyone knew that no matter how large the area of ​​​​this building was, it was the Sunset Red Community. The elevator building is like that.

But the reality is unexpected.

The interior of this building is far wider than everyone imagined. Although the corridor is still narrow and cramped, you can't see the end at a glance. There are hundreds of security doors on the left and right sides of the corridor alone.

"The apartment in this place is so small?" Chen Jing guessed subconsciously.

"They are all two-bedroom apartments. I have lived here." Lawrence explained in a low voice, "The building itself was once an ownerless relic, but now it seems that it has an owner..."

This place is not just for living in.

Chen Jing could tell.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a small city.

Many residents' doors are wide open. Some people put stickers or hang wooden signs on the doors as signboards, while others are more particular and arrange all kinds of neon marquees...

Buy and sell relics and mortgage materials.

Restaurants, hair salons, hardware stores.

A black clinic of unknown origin.

There are even a few houses that have been opened up and turned into dance halls.

The narrow corridor was crowded with people.

Occasionally, you can see impatient people queuing up outside some colorful shops.

"Is it so lively here?" Wei Nan excitedly rushed up and hooked Chen Jing's neck, and said excitedly, "There is also a video game store there! Let's go and check it out!"

"It turns out it's not so lively." Lawrence only felt that everything in front of him was a little strange. It was different from the lifeless gathering place in his impression. "In the past, all the three religions and peoples were crowded in this building, and they could beat their brains out every day, but now It seems quite harmonious..."

Hassad had already squeezed into the crowd at this moment, and many people coming and going seemed to know him, and everyone was greeting him warmly.

"Crazy Chen! Come to my house later and tell you something big!"

As he spoke, Hassad threw a cigar over from a distance of more than ten meters. Chen Bofu raised his hand to catch it with a look of disgust, and threw it into Bai Aji's mouth.

"I can't get used to this thing." Chen Bofu glanced at Bai Aji, who had only one head exposed on Chen Jing's shoulder, "Just take it and chew it. It's a calcium supplement!"

"???"
