Merit Book·Xinghai

Rong Yuan sat in the office of the beautiful woman before, flipping through a thick directory in his hand.

——Is it enough for only those people to pay the price?Of course not enough!

Rong Yuan would not think that killing those people would end the City of Paradise.The dead outside are just people who just happened to be here today to seek pleasure and do evil. Outside of Elysium City, there must be many "guests" who did not come today. Those who are in control, they are all the makers of the tragedy of this city, should pay the price for it.

This book records all the "guests" that Paradise City has received since its establishment and the person in charge of each round of change.As for those victims, they did not waste pen and ink to record their names, backgrounds, looks, etc., only extremely dull words similar to this: "45 goods arrived today, 2 in category A, 13 in category B, and the rest Category C." Or: "Loss of goods in the first area 19, to be replenished." and so on.

Simple numbers, records without any emotional color, but it can give people a glimpse of the countless dark and bloody icebergs behind it.

Rong Yuan glanced through the name book roughly, memorized all the names that appeared in it, and then closed the book without much fluctuation in his heart - before opening the name book, he had already expected what he was going to see, so The time is just to confirm how many people need to be sent to see the god of death.

"Snapped!"

The name book was placed on the table again, and the seven throwing knives next to it suddenly bounced as if they were startled, vibrated slightly, and then flew out with a "swish".

..........................................................................................

In a certain underground tunnel leading to Paradise City, the heavy stone door was pushed open by an exquisite mechanism, and a chubby man with blindfolded eyes was led in by someone holding his arm.He took off the black blindfold and said in a good mood: "Okay, no need to give it away, it's such a trouble every time I come to you. If I didn't think about my little baby and wait for me to love him well, today I won't come over."

The man who led him in was short and thin, and his appearance was very ordinary. When he heard the fat man's laughing words, instead of responding, he took a step back warily, bowed and said, "Then I'll take my leave. I wish you a good time." joy."

He retreated behind the door, pressed the switch, watched the stone door close slowly, and watched the fat man walk in impatiently, with a cold and expressionless expression.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a small figure running past the corner.He blinked, and when he looked again, he found that the stone door was completely closed.

Facing the closed stone gate, the guide stood there and thought for a while, without further investigation, turned around and returned to the entrance, waiting for the next guest of Elysium City.

..........................................................................................

In another secret passage, two fat-headed and big-eared men ran to the Shimen with all their strength, only to realize that they didn't know how to open it when they got there. Help! Let us out! Come, someone..."

Behind them, twenty or thirty skinny and bruised boys and girls, armed with various instruments of torture that had left various scars on their bodies, rushed up viciously with hatred on their faces!

After a few minutes, the crowd parted and several teenagers grabbed the man by the hands and feet and dragged the two bodies to a small pink room nearby.Three or four more girls came over with buckets and rags, knelt on the ground and wiped the blood away, as if nothing had happened here.

The door of the small room was slammed shut.Before it was closed, one could vaguely see a dozen or so corpses laying in disorder inside, almost none of which had their original appearances.

The passage in front of the stone gate returned to its usual quietness and cleanliness. The boys and girls disappeared in the blink of an eye, hiding in the dark, waiting for the next prey.

..........................................................................................

In the small room, there are seven or eight men and two gorgeously dressed women hiding, all with injuries of varying degrees.But they didn't care about bandaging, half of them were holding the door firmly, and the other half were trying to push the gorgeous big bed in the room to the door to block it.

Outside the door, there was a continuous sound of drumming, and the wooden door vibrated, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Crazy, all crazy!" A gray-haired old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "How did those little bastards escape? Where are the guards of the Bliss City? Where are the Bajun people? No one came to take those things away." Do you want to deal with it?"

"The people outside probably don't know what's going on here." Another man said calmly, "As for the people in the city, I'm afraid they're all dead, or they're stuck in a place waiting to die just like us."

"Then what should we do now?" A tall, thin woman with disheveled hair and makeup asked in panic, "Will they rush in?"

"Yes." The man glanced at the wooden door that had been smashed into a hole, and added: "And soon." While talking, they did not idle, but tried to collect the things in the room and tried to make into a counterattack weapon.

Another woman who was twice as tall as ordinary people and as fat as a mountain said coldly: "What's the matter with that guide? Did he deliberately bring us in to die? Could it be that he was bribed?"

The man frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, those children have nothing, what can I use to bribe them? Besides, even if there are one or two guides who want to help them out of sympathy..." He pursed his lips, as if for this reason Gu Gua felt unhappy, and then said: "Aren't they afraid of the sanctions of the Tyrant Army and our revenge?"

"Bang!"

There was another loud bang from the wooden door, revealing a hole the size of a head, and everyone could already see the hateful faces of the children outside the door, and the tall and thin woman screamed in fright.

They also realized at this time that blocking the door with a bed was a terrible idea.As long as those children could break open the door, they could easily jump onto the bed and attack them. On the contrary, they themselves were blocked by the big bed from rushing out, so they panicked for a while, shouting one after another.

"Calm down!" shouted the calmest man again. Holding a chair leg in his right hand and a stone ball in his left hand, he said, "Don't be frightened by them, they're just a bunch of puny kids like cats. They are all relying on their arrogance now. In fact, they are not as tall or as strong as us. If they really want to fight, they must be the ones who die!"

As soon as everyone heard that it made sense, their momentum rose immediately, and each of them found a weapon and held it in their hands.But seeing the expressions of the children on the other side of the door, I couldn't help shivering with palpitations, and my heart suddenly felt weak.

A young man with a pale face and a look of excessive indulgence suddenly asked weakly: "If these children have no fighting power, how did they occupy the city of bliss? Where did the original people in the city go?"

Everyone's heart tightened suddenly.

Before they could guess more, the answer appeared in front of them—two silver lights flew in through the wooden door, like butterflies, circled around them, and flew away the same way.

Several people only felt a pain in their hands and feet. Not only could they not hold the weapons in their hands, they couldn't even stand firmly, and fell to their knees on the ground with a plop.The next moment, the wooden door broke open, and a dozen children rushed in howling.

The seven silver throwing knives turned into death scythes, and shuttled continuously at the various entrances of Bliss City.The guides who knew nothing about what happened in the city sent people in one after another, and the people who came in with all kinds of tyrannical and cruel ideas soon fell into siege, and tasted what they had done to others. means to die in agony.A few people who were able to resist were also cut off by the silver light that came and went without a trace, and died miserably.

..........................................................................................

Beede is the oldest of them all, he is 24 years old.

Those who are older than him, to be precise, all "goods" over 20 years old, because the interest of the guests will be greatly reduced, will often be sent to the rooms on the ground floor as consumables, and will soon be sold by some people with special hobbies. The guests were tortured to death.

Since he was a teenager, Bede tried his best to please a big man, and finally because of his special favor, he was able to still live in the city of Elysium at the "senior age" of 24 years old.But that "favor" was actually not a pleasant experience. As the time spent together grew, he also felt that the other party's interest in him was becoming less and less, and the panic that he might die at any time always kept him in his sleep. woke up.

But he doesn't need to think about it now.

This half-day experience was like a dream to any of them.After experiencing the initial confusion and confusion, with the opening of a stone door, the guide sent in a new guest. In an instant, everyone seemed to have found the purpose and meaning of existence. They retaliated wildly and vented hysterically. Soon he learned how to set traps, how to disguise the environment, how to confuse the guide outside the stone gate, and how to effectively siege and prevent the prey from escaping without a teacher.And then, because Bede was the oldest, smart, rational, and thoughtful, he was pushed to the leader's position by everyone in a daze.

He knew it wasn't an easy seat, but—what the hell?After going through these things, will those people above let them go?That being the case, there doesn't seem to be much difference between a miserable death and a particularly miserable death.And with him in the middle commanding and deploying, maybe he can pull a few more backs before he dies.

But soon, Bee felt strange.

"Peed!" A little boy named Lily ran over and shouted excitedly: "Five were killed in the first district! Three were killed in the second district! Two were killed in the fourth district! The third district was the most, and seven people were killed by them!" Killed!"

"Are there any casualties?" Peeta asked.

"no!"

"Then... has anyone seen the silver flying bird?"

——The silver flying bird is their name for the silver light that glides like a bird in the passage, always appearing and disappearing suddenly.They also noticed that whenever the silver light appeared, the originally tough enemies would quickly lose their combat effectiveness.

"The hills in the third district saw it."

"...Understood. You go back and tell everyone, don't let your guard down just because of the momentary victory, be careful, do it with full confidence, and don't let anyone go." Beed ordered.

"Decree!" Lili gave a crooked military salute, turned around and ran away quickly.

Peeta frowned and thought for a moment, then shouted: "Aquan!"

Soon a boy with blood all over his body and a roll of bandages in his hand ran over and asked, "Peed, what's the matter?"

Ah Quan is the best at healing among all the children, and he has a relatively gentle personality, so he did not participate in their revenge. But the children who hadn't had time to be disposed of gathered together and found the medicine originally stored in the City of Elysium to treat them.A lot of food, drinking water, clothes, weapons, etc. were also found to provide them with logistical supplies.

Bede is not optimistic about what Ah Quan has done, because in his opinion, maybe the battle team of the Tyrant Army will rush in from various passages to kill all of them in the next moment, and it is meaningless to treat the wounds at this time.But since Ah Quan likes to do this, he just let him go.At the same time, compared to those companions who were dazzled by the anger of vengeance, Ah Quan was considered the most calm and rational one, so Bede regarded him as his assistant, and he was more willing to discuss anything with him.

"Aquan, I'm going to go up there." Peed said.

"Above?" Ah Quan's face changed drastically, and he said, "You are crazy! There may be guards up there!"

What they said above refers to the topmost floor where the woman known as the Black Widow is the controller of the City of Elysium.That woman is beautiful and vicious, the most hated and most feared existence among all of them.If there is any force that threatens them in the blissful city that is about to die at this time, it is very likely to be there.

"No, I think that those who killed those people, and those who are still helping us at this moment, are probably there." Bede said: "I must go and see."

Ah Quan was silent for a moment, and then said: "So what can we do? Do you still expect him to do more for us?"

"I have this expectation." Bede said: "Now we just take advantage of the fact that the outside may not know the situation here, so that we can gain the upper hand for a while. When the people outside react, we are all going to die. The only chance of survival, Maybe it's there."

A Quan said: "I heard from Lili that he saw that person through the crack of the door...it was terrible, he didn't even dare to take a second look. Such a person, I don't think he will help us again. You go Looking for him is sending you to death!"

"But he killed those people," argued Bee.

"Maybe he just has an enmity with Paradise City." Ah Quan said stubbornly, "Anyway, I don't trust any adults!"

"I don't believe it either, but I have to go, this is the last hope." Bede said: "After I go, you take care of the others. Just in case...if the Bajun really invades... Just kill yourself, don't hesitate."

Ah Quan bit his lip, watching Peeta turn and leave, his lonely back gave off a sense of determination.He slammed the bandage in his hand to another child, and chased after him, saying, "I'll go with you."

Bede's tense shoulders relaxed, and the expression on his face eased a little, but he said: "But the others..."

Ah Quan interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, we didn't rely on you to live to this day. When the time comes, everyone will know what to do."

Bee said again: "If I make a mistake, then you will die early with me."

There was a moment of silence, and after a long while, he heard Ah Quan muttering, "That's nothing bad."

The two looked at each other, saw the stiff expressions on each other's faces and slightly trembling hands, suddenly laughed at the same time, relaxed, and stepped up the stairs side by side.
