A retired swordsman who opened a shop in the end [Quick Transmigration]

"Inevitable?" Bai Qingxian pondered the other party's words, "Don't the people here know what kind of person the City Lord of Nightmare City is?"

From the other party's point of view, Boss Bai's behavior at the moment should indeed be a curious baby who knows nothing about Nightmare City.

This is true.

"At least we can't see it." The lady walked on the dusty street in high heels, leading Bai Qingxian all the way to a big intersection.

This is strange.

Because the nightmare city in Bai Qingxian's memory does not have a crossroad, but a long street, a street that will return to the starting point even if you go to the end.

Standing in the middle of the big intersection, Bai Qingxian found that the road ahead was vaguely similar to what he remembered, but the two new roads on the left and right were surrounded by buildings he had never seen before, and there were relatively complete office buildings. , You can vaguely see the playground of the Ferris wheel, more residential areas and some buildings with unclear functions.

Although it still looks dilapidated and unrepaired, the entire Nightmare City has indeed become much larger than what Bai Qingxian remembered.

"Remember, don't go to the street in the direction of the amusement park. It is the territory of settlers, that is, the souls who survived from other nightmare cities." The lady pointed to the road in the direction of the amusement park, "They can recover from natural disasters." They have survived to this day, and they have a lot of bone implements in their hands. Although they are scattered and unorganized, they treat ordinary souls very viciously."

"Don't go in the direction of the school." The lady pointed to the front of the street again.

Bai Qingxian has been to that direction a few times, he can see that there is an abandoned hospital at the corner of the playground direction and the front direction, and the school that he remembers should be there, several five-story teaching buildings and the street dilapidated playground.

For Bai Qingxian, it was just a memory before falling asleep, so she can still remember it.

"Why?" Bai Qingxian still remembered that before he became the shopkeeper, the World Will seemed to mention that he set up a new game in the school auditorium.

The lady showed a puzzled expression after Bai Qingxian asked, but instead asked in a puzzled way: "Isn't the school the first place you saw when you came to Nightmare City? You should at least know how dangerous it is there place?"

"Sorry, I was a little confused at that time." Bai Qingxian looked innocent.

"That school is the territory of the Evil Ghost Alliance, a group of evil spirits who have lived in this nightmare city for decades." When the lady looked in the direction of the school, her expression became a little heavy, "There is also the owner of this nightmare city. This may also be the reason why all souls respect and hate that city lord."

"Are you sure the city master of Nightmare City is in the school?" Bai Qingxian recalled the dilapidated school in his memory, feeling that the accommodation conditions there might not be good.

"Did you see the hospital over there? It's the transmission point for the settlers, and it's not under the control of the Evil Ghost Alliance." The lady pointed to the hospital at the intersection, and then to the school in the distance, "And the school over there is The transmission point for new souls to enter Nightmare City, of course, the premise is that those newcomers can survive the death checkpoint set by the Evil Ghost Alliance."

"The surviving souls can choose to stay in the Evil Guild, or leave that street completely and become wandering souls like us." The lady glanced at Bai Qingxian, "They should have given you a chance to choose, right? "

"I seem to remember it a little bit." Bai Qingxian carefully sorted out the various information he heard, "Whether it is immigrants or the evil ghost alliance, the reason why they become a force that makes other souls afraid is because they have that... Bone implements?"

Bai Qingxian noticed the bone knife that this lady was holding in her hand early in the morning.

"Yes, before those settlers occupy the hospital, all souls can go to the self-service window on the first floor of the hospital to exchange points for bone tools. After all, those who wander in Nightmare City are people who died once. Nothing else can hurt us." The lady gave Bai Qingxian a look at the bone knife in her hand, "Your points are not enough now, it will take a while."

"Accumulated points?" Bai Qingxian felt more and more that the world consciousness has many tricks.

"For us wandering souls, one point will be automatically added every day, just go to the self-service window of the hospital to check." The young lady pointed to the hospital, "Unfortunately, there is no way to enter now."

"What if you want to get extra points?" Bai Qingxian seemed to hear the meaning of this lady's words.

"The way to get extra points is in the school, so that's not something we can force." The lady spread her hands, and turned right along the intersection with Bai Qingxian, "There is no power in the area on the right, after all, there is A wilderness with nothing to fight for."

"So the settlers and the evil ghost alliance each control a transmission point, which allows the forces on both sides to continue to expand. Then one of them controls the hospital where the points are exchanged, and the other controls the school where the points are earned. And the two sides haven't fought hard yet?" Bai Qingxian could almost draw a clear illustration of the Wei and Jin Dynasties in his mind, and he could also imagine the conflict between the two forces.

"It should be soon, after all, the appetite of the settlers is getting bigger and bigger." The young lady couldn't help frowning, "In the beginning, the settlers didn't dare to provoke the evil ghost alliance."

"After all, all souls know that the Lord City Lord is standing behind the Evil Ghost Alliance. In Nightmare City, no one has more power than the City Lord. As long as the City Lord is unhappy, the entire nightmare world will be destroyed. All disasters are possible." From the young lady's words, it is not difficult to hear that she seems to have some kind of misunderstanding about the identity of the city lord.

Just because the city lord can influence Nightmare City doesn't mean that the city lord has much power.

"If you offend the Evil Ghost Alliance, it might make the city owner angry. If the city owner is angry..." The young lady looked at the calm sky with only one blood moon, "Nightmare City is no longer peaceful."

"Now those immigrants have dared to challenge the evil ghost alliance?" Bai Qingxian learned a lot of interesting things from the other party, which was completely different from the boring world with dull souls before his retreat.

"Maybe it's because the Evil Ghost Alliance hasn't attacked them all this time?" The lady who is a wandering soul obviously doesn't understand this. Turning back halfway, it seems to be testing the bottom line of the Evil Ghost League."

"But why would they do it?"

"Maybe they are not only testing the bottom line of the Evil Ghost League, but also testing the bottom line of the city owner." Bai Qingxian said with interest, "If the city owner gets angry because of this, this nightmare city has changed. Isn't it?"

"Maybe the city lord knows that they are just testing?" The young lady was lost in thought.

"I haven't introduced myself after chatting for so long." Bai Qingxian said with a smile, "I'm a grocery store owner. My surname is Bai and my first name is Qingxian."

"People here don't need to eat, drink or have other daily needs. Boss Bai may not be able to continue to open a store in Nightmare City." The young lady nodded, "Xi Lan, Lan is calm."

"Thank you, Miss Xi, for being willing to chat with someone who doesn't know anything like me."

"It's nothing. Wandering on the street itself is also a very boring thing. Most people on that street have given up their so-called life. Some just sit there every day and look at the moon in a daze. Some even find I want me to use this bone tool to kill them." Xi Lan looked at the bone knife in his hand, "If you hadn't come to talk to me at that time, I might have become like them soon."

"You probably won't." When Bai Qingxian saw Xi Lan, although she didn't put down the knife in her hand, she didn't put down the pair of high heels either.

"Thank you. In fact, I also hope that the settlers and the Evil Ghost League can fight, and I even hope that those bad guys in the Evil Ghost League who make fun of playing newcomers can win. After all, when they control the hospital, we can go to the hospital to exchange bones In addition, you can also exchange books and other things for entertainment, but now..."

Having said this, Xi Lan turned around and pointed in the direction she and Bai Qingxian came from: "The only thing wandering souls can do now is to patronize a small shop on the street just now. The owner there is an old man from Nightmare City. There is great prestige on that street, and everyone can exchange the books they have read and all kinds of recreational gadgets in his shop for other commodities."

"Such a store is really a good place for souls who are extremely short of points, but since everyone can't go to the hospital to redeem points, regular customers like me who often go to that store can't find any Something new to entertain."

Xi Lan said, and said to Bai Qingxian with some envy: "You have just arrived here, so you can go to that store often. The owner of that store has a good personality and has always taken care of the newcomers. Even if you can't get it, you can exchange it." You can also sit in the store and read a book.”

"Thank you." Bai Qingxian did not expect such a store to open in this nightmare city with no living needs.

"By the way, I want to ask one more thing." Bai Qingxian saw that Min Lan had already told him what newcomers should know, so he left this question for the end, "Have you heard of the name 'Qin Yan'?" Is it? I seem to have heard this name when I first came to this nightmare city."

Bai Qingxian did not forget that Qin Yan was the deputy city lord he appointed.

"As long as you are an old man in this Nightmare City, it is rare that you don't know the name Qin Yan." Xi Lan didn't seem to doubt the reason for Bai Qingxian's question, but said naturally, "That is the deputy city lord of Nightmare City. The only soul with school authority besides the city lord, he must be present when you pass the newcomer checkpoint."

"The deputy city lord seems to have a good relationship with the members of the Evil Ghost League, and it may have been ordered by the city lord."

"What kind of newcomer level did Miss Xi go through?" Bai Qingxian seemed to be more curious about this. He had an intuition that the newcomer level that Xi Lan was talking about was the new thing that the will of the world said before.

"It's nothing, it's just a few unarmed souls being chased by more than 20 evil spirits with bone tools. Only the souls that survived for an hour can pass the checkpoint and enter the Nightmare City." It's not as simple as she said.

"The novice level encountered by each soul is different. The one who designed the level is the deputy city lord you mentioned just now, and the players who participated in the new level are all guys from the Evil Ghost League. This is also a chance for them to get extra points. " Xi Lan said with a cold snort, "Every checkpoint is an interesting pastime for the Guild of Evil Ghosts. The fewer newcomers who can pass the checkpoint, the more miserable the soul in the checkpoint, the more fun they will be."

"Making a newborn soul the protagonist of a horror movie, letting a newborn soul live a repetitive day after day and then watch its body decay, these are old tricks of the Guild of Evil Ghosts."

"Even those evil ghosts who participated in the level are sometimes just poor guys who are treated by them for entertainment." It can be heard that Xi Lan is very disgusted with the evil ghost alliance, which may be the reason why she chose to become a wandering soul.

Bai Qingxian also thought it was a little funny.

The entire Nightmare City and the souls in the city are just the pastime of the will of the world, and as a pastime itself, the Evil Ghost League is also keen to use those newborn ignorant souls for entertainment. Even Bai Qingxian, who was appointed as the city lord, felt that staying in This world is a pastime.

It really is a harmonious enough...and crazy enough world.
