C184 (2/2)
Actually, ever since I saw this strange building, I've always wanted to go in and take a look. I don't know if it's the same inside or outside, but all the furniture is upside down.
After entering the Demon City, I realised that the furnishings inside were still normal, it seemed that only the design on the outside was inverted.
After walking for quite a distance, we still couldn't find a single person. Could it be that we've entered the wrong place?
”Xiao Cui, can you sense where Yue Feng is?”
Xiao Cui shook her head: ”I don't have that ability, I only know that he's definitely in danger now.”
Entering into a strange hall, indeed it looked like a western church, the most eye-catching being the huge human-shaped coffin in the middle.
Speaking of human coffins, I immediately thought of the vampires and mummies in the movies. I didn't know why the Demons would place this unlucky thing here.
Zhang Ziyuan was quick, he opened the lid of the coffin, I would imagine a mummy with bandages all over, or a vampire with tiger teeth, but the person inside was a handsome young man.
The young man's face was pale and his eyes were closed. It was unknown whether he was dead or asleep, but it was clear from the aura on his chest that he was still breathing.
This young man is wearing a well-groomed suit, he isn't as tall and rough as the other Demon General. I suspect that he might be a hostage that was captured by the demon.
That person seemed to be frightened and opened his eyes. His pupils were the color of the lake water and were extremely beautiful. He seemed to have a little western blood in him.
”Who are you?”
”Who are you?”
The young man and I asked at the same time, and we were both shocked by each other.
”What are you doing in a coffin with nothing to do? Are you tired? ”
The other party seemed to be amused by my naive question. He smiled and said, ”I should be living here anyway. I can't leave because of my body. They won't let me go anywhere else, so I'm inside.”
Huh? You can only live in a small space like the coffin? What kind of logic was this? Could it be that this was a ceremony on their Demons? In other words, he didn't want to be a hostage anymore. He felt that his personal temperament really suited this church.
”You still haven't said why you're here?”
Cough cough, this Demon City has hurt a lot of our comrades, and seems to be a threat to us humans. We are here to seek justice from the Demons, looks like you aren't here to seek justice, why are you here?
The young man shook his head: ”I am from the Demons, and I am from the Demons as well, but I was born with a weak body, I am extremely skinny, and the difference between me and other Demons is like the sky and the earth. Most importantly, they did not even allow me to leave the coffin, and I can only live on with my last breath …”
The young man's expression was dejected.
Huh? What? I seem to have heard the most unbelievable thing, that this skinny and weak youth is not only from Demons, but is also from Demons? Was the rumors in the outside world true or false?
I suddenly remembered why we came in. I asked anxiously, ”No matter what, do you know how the battle is going? Two of our friends came in and there was no news about them. I'm worried about them. Why don't you tell me where everyone went?”
The young man chuckled again. ”I'm so envious of all of you. To have such good friends, I've never had any, and no one is willing to talk to me.”
I was indeed anxious, so I said to him perfunctorily, ”As long as you can tell us, I'll be your friend from now on. I'll talk to you everyday with you!”
I felt a little guilty after saying those words. It wasn't really suitable for me to lie to begin with, especially when facing a pair of innocent eyes like that. I felt really ashamed.
The young man looked very happy, as if he believed me. ”Really? If you really treat me as your friend, then I will tell you this. The entire Demon City is an illusion, and those who enter will all become lost, unable to leave this place. ”
Ah, then no wonder Shuo Yue and Yue Feng had always been able to leave. No matter how fast they were, if they encountered a road that was both real and illusory, they wouldn't be able to walk out of it.
”Well, how do we get out?” Zhang Ziyuan asked.
The young man shrugged, ”Then I don't know. I'm someone who has been lying in a coffin since birth, and I've already told you all that I know. I can still tell you guys a secret at the end, but you have to agree to one of my requests! ”
”Mm, I promise you. Hurry up and tell me the secret. What secret?” If we suddenly find a youth who can tell us the secrets of the Demon City, we obviously won't let him go so easily. He will agree to all of our requests, since she is from the Demons, it probably won't be a violation of morals to go back on his words, right?
”Hmm, my request is that you take me out to see the outside world. If it can't be too far away, it's good to leave this coffin!”
