C31 (1/2)

Xiang Xue'er stared at his fingers and rolled her eyes. She modified her new waist pouch a little and secured the AK-47 and crossbow she had just picked up on to her back.

Great! Looks like I am fully equipped with weapons and ammunition. I will no longer be afraid of those evil monsters along the way. Damn demon in my heart, if you have the ability, then show yourself.

She walked towards her next target proudly with her hands on her hips. Li Yun who was beside her stared at her nonchalantly with his goldfish eyes. He could only take out the map and take a look. ”Next stop, Hallucination City!”

”Hallucination City? This name sounded like it belonged to a magical beast? ”Where?” Xiang Xue'er tilted her head and glanced at the map in his hand. 200 kilometers south of where they were now was the next route they had to take.

Li Yun said with a frown, ”I have heard of this city before. It seems to be a very large city, formerly a very prosperous city. However, for some reason, the entire country seemed to have been bewitched, causing the citizens to be enchanted and then forced to seal the city!”

Ah? So strange? Xiang Xue'er grabbed the map in his hand. She squinted as she looked back and forth for a long time. There was no other way to reach the Ethereal Mountain. If she wanted to reach the destination, she would have to pass through here.

”En!” She pointed her finger towards the three words' Hallucination City 'and said, ”Who cares what kind of curse it is, if I were to pass it, all of you will get out of my way!”

Xiang Xue'er felt that she finally had a convenient weapon to use, so she raised her eyebrows and felt proud of herself. Hence, she prepared to go there and try her luck even more brazenly.

They rode their horses all the way to the city called Fantasy City. It was about two days' journey, and they were not far from the city. As Xiang Xue'er ate, she saw a few villagers, along with large bags of food and a child, walking towards them.

”Hmm?” Xiang Xue'er stretched her neck and looked again and again, rubbing her eyes. She thought her eyes were blurry, but why was there a bowl-sized mushroom on top of the head of a villager? It was even a brightly colored mushroom.

After a long while, the man and the woman walked in together. Xiang Xue'er's mouth was wide open as the steamed buns dropped to the ground. She rushed over and raised her head to look at the mushroom on top of the middle-aged man's head.

The man looked at the fog that was covering Xiang Xue'er, then turned to his wife and asked, ”What does she mean? ”What do you mean by 'non-mainstream'?”

Xiang Xue'er blinked a few times. She couldn't help but reach her hand out to touch the mushroom. Heavens, it was hot and it didn't have the texture of a plant. Instead, it looked like a tumour.

She was shocked. Suddenly, the seven to eight year old child stuck his head out from behind the man. With a pair of white bunny ears on his head, he shook it, causing her to jump back in fright. ”Aiya, mother, eighth brother Bunny!”

The family of three looked at the astonished expression on Xiang Xue'er's face and let out a long sigh. ”This young lady looks like a foreigner, right? Don't you know that all of us in Fantasy City are cursed?”

She had heard of curses, but she didn't expect them to be like this after one, it was really too much of a personality. The woman at the side took off her hat, and all the black hair on her sideburns fell to the floor, causing Xiang Xue'er to immediately calm down.

So it was like this, the cursed city, the cursed people, they all became inhuman, ghosts did not look like ghosts. Xiang Xue'er crossed her arms over her chest and asked, ”How long have you been like this? ”What exactly caused it?”

After the man heard this, he shook his head with a worried expression, ”We don't know either. It's been three years, and although the citizens and the mayor have been trying their best to find the reason and have also found many different exorcist and mages, they still can't find the reason!”
