Twilight War

02

Huangxuanjin came over leisurely while spitting water.

"Brother, are you dead too?" He looked at Vihipel next to him, then at Shawei and Little Jasmine, "It seems that our group is wiped out..."

There are many people walking around, dressed in dilapidated clothes, like lonely shadows.

"Looks like I'm going to hell," he said, frowning.

"This is the Ninth Street of the Black Market 20 years ago." Wihipel said while supporting Huangxuan Jin.

"Ok?"

"I have been trying to establish a soul domain in the place just now, but there has been no way. Because there is already a domain, a domain called 'the past'."

Huang Xuanjin frowned.

Wischpel knew he didn't understand, so he could only continue to say: "The medium of the soul domain is the soul, and the medium of the 'past' is memory. So I replaced the past 15 years ago with the past constructed by my own memory."

Huang Xuanjin frowned and nodded, pretending to understand.

"So here are your memories from 20 years ago." Sharktail said, leaning against the metal pipe.

Vesper nodded.

"There are still quite a few people." He looked at those who passed by and said, "I thought there were only a few people in your memory, or there were no people at all."

"After all, I think you have always been a bystander, watching everything." Sharktail said.

"I'm just lazy, not blind." Wihipel said, "Where to go next."

"Your memory, you are the boss, you have the final say." Shark Tail shrugged and said.

"My memory won't last long, we'd better get out of here before my memory ends."

"I know a way out. And I took you there, I hope you remember," said Sharktail.

"I remember," said Vichypel.

"That's great!"

Vichypel walked straight ahead, passing through the refugees underground.Like a silver fish swimming against the sea.

Sharktail remembered the first time he met Vehipel, that man was like this, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him, he was just a bystander.

Many underground refugees are talking about him. They don't know why a person who is obviously not a refugee comes here, and they are all guessing his purpose.

And the only thing he can do is follow a blind orphan.

But he never got in touch with that orphan, he just watched coldly forever.

At the beginning, many ruffians were afraid of him and dared not bully the orphan, but as time passed, they realized that the man didn't care about the orphan's life, so they didn't care whether the man was there or not, and often beat the orphan until his body was covered with bruises.

And men are always watching from afar.

He felt that the man was too cold-blooded, so he often rescued the orphan from those ruffians, and when he rescued the orphan again and again, the man didn't respond.

Like everything has nothing to do with him.

But he always followed behind the orphan.

In the end he couldn't help it, and he asked the man why he came here.

"I'm waiting for someone to die," said the man.

"Who?"

"The blind orphan."

"why?"

"He has what I want," the man said.

"He's an orphan with nothing."

"What I want is in his eyes."

"Then you might as well just kill him, or goug out his eyes, since he's blind anyway."

The man didn't speak any more.

"I thought that you would be a lone ranger for the rest of your life." Sharktail said, "Who knew that you would become the consul of the Arthur Empire in a blink of an eye. It seems that you have zero communication skills. I used to It's also strange how you have lived to such an age."

"In the past, it was just that I didn't want to, not that I couldn't." Wischpel said.

When Vichypel left here, he asked Vichypel where you were going, and the man said that he was going to get the right to command the entire country.

He used to think that such words could only be said by delusional lunatics.

But when the man said this, his expression was very serious.

At that moment, he really felt that as long as that man thought about it, everything in this world was in his pocket.

Vihipel stopped suddenly, Shark Tail was about to ask what happened when he saw the orphan curled up in the corner.

The boy had wounds all over his body.

Sharktail never helped the boy after Wihipel said he was waiting for the orphan to die, and the boy started being bullied and scarred by all kinds of hooligans again.

"He's dying," said Sharktail.

Vichypel looked at the shivering boy through the crowd, and he finally walked over to the boy.

There was almost no flesh on the boy's back, and as he breathed tremblingly, the two butterfly bones struggled under the flesh.

"Big brother, you're here..." The boy suddenly looked up at him, but it couldn't be said to be looking, after all, the boy was already blind, but the boy's cloudy eyes were indeed looking at him.

"Can I have some water?" said the boy, "I'm really thirsty..."

Vichypel didn't speak, just stood beside the boy.

Huang Xuanjin looked at the boy through the crowd, the boy's eyes were as cloudy as the gray sky, but he felt that those eyes were somewhat familiar, as if the night and stars of Asgard were broken together.

It is inexplicably sad.

That kind of sadness is like the melting of a long-lasting iceberg. It only melts for a moment, but the frozen mountain has been frozen for thousands of years.

"Big brother, can you...can you give me a hug?"

Lonely figures came and went in the underground mine tunnel, while the boy looked at Vehipel, raising his emaciated arms.

Finally, the boy's hand fell.

He died 20 years ago.

In an instant, everything is gone.

The river, which was forced to stop 20 years ago by the man's order, began to flow again.

Those figures came and went, blurred and indistinguishable.

Vihipel walked towards Huangxuan Jin and Shawei through the blurred crowd, "My memory is over, we must leave quickly."

"Once that boy dies, will you lose all your memories of this place?" Shark Tail frowned, as if aggrieved and said, "At least I said goodbye to you."

"You take Little Jasmine and go first, and I will guard the back to make this realm collapse later." Wihipel ignored Shawei and said to Huangxuanjin.

"Just now on the lifting platform, after he jumped down, we could have stopped, but you directly pulled out the rotating shaft that controlled the landing, right?" Vehipel looked up at the shark's tail.

"He will die if he jumps down, there is no need for you and I to be buried with him." Shark Tail said.

"You can choose to leave, but I don't want others to make any decisions for me." Wihipel said coldly, and then walked forward.

Shawei spread his hands, "Okay, okay, I understand."

"I thought you had no heart at all," Sharktail said suddenly.

Wihipel glanced back at Shark Tail, then walked on.

"His eyes are very similar to that blind beggar." Sharktail looked back at the corner where the beggar died.

Like ashes, Wumeng mourned.

But people can't help but wonder what the ashes looked like before burning.

03

All the lonely figures turned into smoke, Huang Xuanjin turned around and looked at the dissipated figures.

"Are we back in the realm we were in?" he asked.Wischpel nodded, "But this time, there are many people here."

"kindness?"

Vehipel closed his eyes, and the wandering crows took back for him what they had seen.

— Noisy, many people.

—they are all together.

Wihipel looked at the closed gate at the end of the mine, "What is that place?"

"There, it was originally the place where the merchants stored the silver of the great abyss. After those merchants left, it was transformed into a casino. This is also the only way to the outside of the black market Ninth Street."

"All the roads to the outside have to pass through this casino." Shark said: "Many people were trapped in this casino and never went out again."

"Then go gamble." Huang Xuanjin said.

He directly opened the door at the end.

Shark Tail froze for a moment.

Wooden chips in wine troughs everywhere, crowd around the gaming table like crazy, the air is full of the smell of cheap spirits, mixed with the smell of the silver of the great abyss.

He seems to have returned to the black market Ninth Street more than ten years ago.

Those who struggled underground are back again.

It seems that he has forgotten all this since he walked from the ground to the ground.

The bright lights on the ground made him think that this place was originally like this, and he was born to be the emperor here.

"Boss!!!"

Shark Tail was still in his memory when he was suddenly interrupted by three people who swooped over.

Red Fire Ant held a hand of cards and tightly hugged Huangxuan Jin who looked astonished, "Boss, I thought I would never see you again."

Belly Snake also clutched the chips in his hand with a face full of tears, "Boss, if you don't come, we will lose everything."

Only Huiwei also ran over, but stopped not far from Huangxuanjin, and stood aside expressionlessly.

"My...several subordinates, you should have seen them." Huangxuan Jin said to Vehipel with a wry smile while holding his painful red fire ant down.

"Ah... I know, idiot Huang Xuanjin and his three subordinates, right? I've heard of it." Shawei said.

"No, it's Huangxuanjin and his three idiots." Huangxuanjin corrected.

"My subordinates told me that you are reselling private oil in the black market all day long, and you have done a lot of things to disrupt the order of the black market Ninth Street. They originally asked me to kill you in the underworld. But I think you are nothing more than Small and big troubles, so I don't care much." Shawei said.

Just as Huang Xuanjin wanted to say who you thought you were, he suddenly remembered that this guy was the owner of the black market Ninth Street, the third emperor of Xilu.It would not be easy for him to erase their existence in the underworld.

It's just that this guy's slick tone has made him ignore that Shark Tail is the emperor of the underworld, forgetting that he is the one who commands all bone eaters.

In contrast, he and his three subordinates are like rats stealing oil in a burrow, and there is no need for the king of the forest to kill them.

"What's going on here?" Huangxuan Jin asked as he broke free from the embrace of the Red Fire Ant.

"We don't know. We were only here to play at the carnival, but suddenly there were fires in all directions. We remembered that there was a tunnel leading to the outside. It had been going smoothly, and then we broke into here suddenly. Then a rabbit gave us a lot of chips, and we wanted to leave, but every time we went to the door, the big sister would tell us that we were not qualified to leave with our chips. Many people tried to break in, but they didn’t succeed.”

Huangxuanjin pushed away the red fire ants beside him, "It seems that it's time for me to show my true skills, give me all the chips!"

Before he finished speaking, a rabbit sitting in a balloon basket slowly floated over, and placed three bags in the hands of him, Vihipel, and Sharktail respectively.

Huang Xuanjin frowned and looked at the rabbit, "What kind of fantasy scene is this?"

Then he opened the bag in his hand, took a look inside, and immediately covered it tightly, and said mysteriously to Vehipel beside him: "Golden!"

Then he immediately looked at the bag in Vesper's hand, "Why is there only one silver coin, I have a bunch of them."

"It's Mithril," said Vihipel.

After reading Vichypel's, Huang Xuanjin immediately turned his head to look at the shark tail bag, "Well, although they are all silver, there are not many."

"We all only have copper coins." The red fire ant blinked and said.

"Okay, okay, it's time for me to show my strength, get out of the way!" Huang Xuanjin pushed away the people around him, and then rushed directly to the gambling table.

"Yes! There are dice! Let me show my strength as a citizen of Donghuang!"

After losing half of his chips, Huang Xuanjin took the rest of the chips and returned to Wisipel, "I don't think I have any talent in dice. I didn’t win much when I was playing. I should be brave enough to try, as far as blackjack is concerned, I think it’s pretty good.”

Then he rushed to the gambling game again with his three men.

A few men at the door threw all their chips at that beautiful woman

"Isn't that enough? I've already won so much!"

The woman just nodded mechanically and politely, "I'm sorry, sir, your chips are not qualified to leave here yet."

"How much do you think you have to win to be eligible to leave here?" Sharktail folded his arms and looked at Vehipel.

"Lost light," said Wichpel.

Shawei smiled, "Your Highness, you really have...a unique eye."

"The people who get out of here are the ones who lost everything, don't they?" Wischpel said.

"Yeah, it's always been that way."

Like a pile of tattered mechanical figurines, they picked up all the chips on the ground one by one and handed them back to the men.

The beautiful woman bowed politely, "Please continue your gamble, we will notify you when you are eligible to leave."

Only those who have nothing can leave here.

Sharktail smiled and threw the silver chip to the gaming table.

Sharktail wins the first round.

In the second game, Sharktail won.

In the third game, Sharktail won...

Vehipel: "..."
