Chapter 158 - The Corridor of Time (XIV) (2/2)
He continued to ask Duan Li, trying to dig out more information from Duan Li’s mouth, “Do you really not knohere the ‘city of lawlessness’ is?”
Duan Li shook his head and said, “I don’t know I know of the existence of this city because I heard it from many others, but no one has been there But it’s not knoho the intelligence caarding the group within the city of lawlessness—someone in it had asked for help—is that true or false?”
Duan Li thought for ahe was troubled about He frowned and his voice was somber “To be exact, it’s not that so for help frohtly surprised He sently asked, “What’s theof this?”
“Players in the secret chas in the secret chaence about the city of lawlessness, they would merely listen to it For them, the safety of a possible city in reality is far less important than their survivability in the secret chamber”
Luo Jian narrowed his eyes: “But why do you pay so much attention to this ‘city of lawlessness’?”
In the diht, Duan Li’s expression seemed a little miserable His face lost any redness, and he replied to Luo Jian: “Because I found that I had unconsciously becoroup in the city of lawlessness”
Luo Jian was a little confused He said, “Didn’t you say you haven’t been in the city of lawlessness?”
“It’s not that I haven’t been there, but I didn’t realize it was the city of lawlessness when I went there” Duan Li paused for a ht about it, I realized that where I as not norain, but I couldn’t find the entrance to the city again”
“Well, I don’t quite understand what you said” In the narrow and cramped sundry room, Luo Jian wandered slowly He said: “A city may exist or possibly not exist You have been to the inner areas of the city, but you didn’t realize that you were in the city…… Did this city look like any other city on the surface?”
Duan Li said: “There is no difference The city looks very ordinary There are people coet up early to work They work, eat, and sleep There is not much of a difference”
“Then how did you perceive that so?”
Duan Li recalled, “There are several reasons First, I re to escape from a secret chamber It was a secret chamber with many doors The back of the door led to different places It was like a ht door, could I escape s door…… Behind the door were spacious roads, streets, people, and vehicles
“I didn’t realize that I had opened the wrong door I even thought that I had ed to escape from the secret chamber and return to reality However, every time I returned to reality, I should wake up in bed, and it was only this tie city
“There seemed to be no difference fro around the streets, big roads, and alleys But at that time, what surprised h there was the sound of vehicles, the sound of people walking, andplayed fro to each other Into what they were doing expressionlessly…… They were even repeatedly doing what they had done
“They may communicate with each other, but what they said were the sas and do the sas”
When Luo Jian heard this, he could not help but cut in and said, “Could it be that they would repeat the sa that they did every day?”
“Yes, that’s it They repeatedly do the sa they did everyday”
Duan Li shook his head again, “But I didn’t feel anything wrong at that time I just wandered aimlessly in the city At that time, I needed shelter I went to look for places like hotels I talked to those people, but they ignored nored me Even if I stood in front of them, their eyes would only look beyondat me They would not respond to my voice Even if I reached out to them to stop them, they would just bypass me and head to the places they intended to head to
“People in that city ignored me, as if I was someone transparent”
After Luo Jian heard Duan Li’s words, he shook his u He kne it felt to be ignored by everyone Because the current Luo Jian was experiencing such a thing
Duan Li said with a wry smile: “In fact, it was a sort of novel experience At that ti, but I didn’t think too much about it So I just wandered around the city I clies I went to the center of the city, where there was a church”
