Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 1079 Every picture is an unknown strange world
Most of the walls in the inner city are painted with rough and simple pictures...

The creatures in the pictures are very simple, like stick figures.

To outsiders, this is just an old, ordinary line drawing. They would never imagine that each drawing is a strange and terrifying world. Every stick figure-like creature in the picture is a strange and terrifying existence.

From ancient times to the present.

No one knows how many horrible foreign creatures have been devoured by the paintings on the walls of the inner city.

Some creatures were devoured without leaving even a trace, some were trapped in the strange world in the picture forever, and some suffered eternal pain in the picture, even the emperor was no exception.

If you listen carefully in front of the picture, you might even be able to hear screams.

Who painted the picture on the wall? Perhaps no one knows it anymore, not even Su Xiaoxi, the head of the Dead City. And she doesn't dare to rashly enter the strange world in the picture. If she enters, she may never be able to get out.

The world in these pictures is a world so strange that it is indescribable. Perhaps even the people who built this dead city did not expect it...

But at this moment.

The strange stick figures in the picture retreated when they saw the colorful crystal coffin. Then, in the picture on the wall, the strange stick figures disappeared one after another, and they all left the picture...

of course.

Not all stickmen are afraid of the colorful crystal coffin.

There are also some vicious and weird stickmen who actually want to walk out of the picture and seize the colorful crystal coffin.

but.

They all suffered ominous consequences...

They were originally an indescribable ominous existence to the creatures in the heavens. But now, they themselves had strange ominous things happen and gradually disappeared from the picture.

When the other stickmen saw this, they were all horrified.

Don't look, don't look, don't look...

There was also a matchstick man who covered his eyes and turned away, not looking at the colorful crystal coffin.

The moment the colorful crystal coffin appeared, all the stick figures in the pictures on the walls where the crystal coffin was visible fled.

of course.

There is also a stickman who wants to escape from the weird world.

Ow—

A terrifying ghostly roar came from a picture on a wall, and then a black claw slowly struggled out of the picture. The black claw had sharp claws and stretched out from the picture with great difficulty, becoming larger and larger...

In the pictures on the wall.

The ghost claw was very small, so small and simple that it was just a line, without even the shape of the claw being drawn. However, when the ghost claw stretched out from the picture, it became extremely terrifying, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

Even the emperor would feel uneasy when he saw it and want to flee immediately.

Hey!
The ghosts howled continuously, hoarse and unpleasant, and it shook the soul.

Another ghost claw stretched out from the picture, also black and sticky, without any clear texture, but exuding a strong and weird aura.

When the two ghost claws struggled out, a black thing was seen in the middle of the two ghost claws, trying to break through the picture and come out.

It seems to be the head of an unknown evil spirit.

Hey!
An unknown evil spirit seemed to be roaring.

When the other stickmen heard this, they were all shocked. It seemed that they had not expected that the other party wanted to get out of the strange world.

Can this get out?
In the picture on the wall, the two ghost claws continued to grow larger, and the breath they emitted became more and more terrifying. It seemed that they were grabbing the walls on both sides, trying to pull their bodies out of the picture...

but.

It was difficult for the head to penetrate the picture.

boom!
The ghost claw no longer grabbed the wall, but reached forward, tearing through a house with a bang and piercing deep into the void.

boom!
The same happened to the other ghost claw.

At this moment, the two ghost claws became extremely huge, bursting with an aura that even the emperor would be terrified. But it was still difficult to break free from the picture, and was sealed by some rules...

The other stick figures avoided the colorful crystal coffin in fear, and looked at the evil ghost curiously, as if they were looking forward to it. If the evil ghost could walk out of the picture, then they might also have a chance...

Who wants to live in a picture for eternity?

Although a picture is a strange world, the world outside is much larger and more colorful than the picture world...

After a while.

The evil ghost's head seemed to have finally broken through the picture and slowly emerged from it.

But at this time.

Su Xiaoxi was carrying a colorful crystal coffin on her back. When she saw the evil ghost breaking out from the painting on the wall, she quickly stepped forward with the crystal coffin on her back and used it to crash into the evil ghost.

puff!
When the crystal coffin hit the evil ghost's head, the evil ghost roared in pain and was knocked back a little.

At this moment, the evil ghost was extremely angry. One of its claws inserted into the void suddenly grabbed the colorful crystal coffin. However, the moment it touched the crystal coffin, the claw seemed to be burned, and a large piece of it melted instantly...

Hey!
The evil spirit screamed in pain.

Su Xiaoxi rushed towards the evil ghost while carrying the crystal coffin on her back, and shouted: "Go back quickly, you don't belong outside..."

"Ow~"

The unknown evil spirit only roars.

At this moment, the injured ghost claw grabbed the crystal coffin again, but was burned again.

A large piece of black ghost claw melted almost halfway.

Under Su Xiaoxi's continuous impact, the evil ghost's head was gradually knocked back, making the evil ghost extremely angry.

"You don't belong to the outside world, you can't come out." Su Xiaoxi scolded, "Quickly retract your claws, or you will be in trouble."

I don’t know when.

Qing Jia and five other black taboos appeared outside the inner city. When they looked at the ghost claw, they had a desire to devour it...

The two ghost claws also saw Qingjia and the others, and seemed to be asking them for help.

However, Qingjia and the others did not take any action. Instead, their eyes shifted to the colorful crystal coffin carried by Su Xiaoxi. It was as if an order was engraved in the deepest part of their souls that they must protect the person in the colorful crystal coffin.

When their eyes moved away from the colorful crystal coffin and fell on the ghost claw, their thoughts changed again. They also wanted to rescue the evil ghost from the picture, as if the evil ghost in the picture had a great relationship with them...

When they saw the ghost claws stretched out in the picture, it was as if they saw themselves.

It seemed as if I was the evil ghost in the picture.

They hesitated.

But at this time, Su Xiaoxi finally knocked the evil ghost back into the picture through the crystal coffin.

This made Qingjia and the others feel inexplicably lost, as if they should save the evil ghost and pull it out of the picture...

It seems that saving the evil spirit is saving oneself.

Huh—Su Xiaoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the picture on the wall, and saw a stickman in the picture, roaring at her madly.

She could also faintly hear the roar of the stickman.

"You can't go out. You don't belong outside. This is not only bad for the creatures outside, but also bad for you..."

Su Xiaoxi said to the stick figure in the picture.

But the stickman just wanted to get out.

At this moment, the stickman struggled out again, and just as he stretched out a ghost claw, Su Xiaoxi knocked him back with the crystal coffin. She vaguely remembered that these stickmen were very scary, and they must not be allowed to escape from the picture, otherwise they would cause an extremely terrible disaster to the outside world.

Even she didn't dare to touch the stickman rashly.

These stick figures seem to be one of the sources of weirdness and ominousness, and are extremely scary...

but.

The crystal coffin can suppress them.

At this time, Su Xiaoxi became a little confused. Why did these matchstick men suddenly run out?
Of course, this has happened before, and either she knocked them back or they were killed by the mysterious rules of the dead city.

Every picture on the wall is an unknown and strange world.

She didn't know if these strange worlds were connected, as she had never entered one. Moreover, the image was limited in size, so she could only see a small part of the strange world, and didn't know what the depths of the strange world looked like...

"Stay in there and don't come out, or you will die."

Su Xiaoxi warned.

However, the stick figure in the picture naturally wouldn’t understand and just wanted to get out.

At this moment, it struggled out of the picture again, but this time two stickmen walked out of the picture, pulled the stickman away, and finally disappeared at the edge of the picture.

Su Xiaoxi looked for a while, and when she saw that the matchstick man did not appear again, she looked at other pictures.

In the pictures on the other walls, the stick figures had already been exposed, or a head was poking out from the edge, peeking at her cautiously...

When looking at the crystal coffin, he seemed to be afraid.

However, the pictures were all stick figures, and Su Xiaoxi could not see their expressions and demeanor. She just said, "You only belong to your world, not the outside world. Don't come out."

She didn't say anything more and walked towards the outer city with the crystal coffin on her back.

After a while.

She walked out of the alley and came to the outskirts of the inner city, which was the bank of the inner river.

Qingjia and the others will be guarding here.

"Qingjia, Wu'e, Xuehou, Menji, Shangui." Su Xiaoxi stopped, looked at the five dark shadows, and said, "Xiaoxi is leaving, take care of yourselves..."

They didn't say anything, just looked at Su Xiaoxi.

"By the way, don't sneak in again. Xiaoxi is not here, and no one can save you." Su Xiaoxi looked back at the mysterious building in the inner city and the pictures on the wall, and said, "You will die if you go in. Also, don't let the evil spirits in the pictures out. They are too scary..."

They still didn't speak.

Su Xiaoxi pondered for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and walked towards the stone arch bridge carrying the crystal coffin on her back.

Five dark shadows turned around and silently watched Su Xiaoxi carrying the coffin away.

When Su Xiaoxi walked across the stone arch bridge, they all turned around and looked at the buildings in the inner city, their eyes falling on the pictures on the wall. At this moment, many stick figures appeared on the pictures, and they seemed to be looking out...

There are also some stickmen trying to get out.

but.

Not all stick figures are the evil ghosts before, and they can all stick out two ghost claws from inside.

Most of the stick figures are unable to break free from the shackles of the picture and can only sigh and look at the outside world. The creatures outside can see the world in the picture, and the creatures in the picture can naturally see the world outside the picture, but the forms they see are different.

However, there were also a few stick figures that had ghost claws or strange hands sticking out of the pictures. Su Xiaoxi had not returned and had already left the inner city, so naturally she didn't know what was happening on the wall. So the ghost hands sticking out from inside were becoming more and more...

There are also attempts to free the body.

A few dark shadows were watching silently...

In fact, they have always wanted to know what kind of world is in the picture? Why does the strange existence in the picture resonate with them at certain times, and even make them feel that the strange existence in the picture is actually themselves.

but.

There is an iron rule in the Dead City.

The most they can do is to come to the outer edge of the inner city, that is, the bank of the inner river. If they dare to enter the inner city, they will definitely be strangled by the rules of the dead city...

At this moment, they looked at each other, trying to pull out the strange existence in the picture.

But the iron rules of the dead city were like a brand on their souls, so they dared not violate them. However, at this time, as more and more evil spirits struggled out of the picture, they all asked for help one by one, as if they were them...

However, Qingjia and the others still didn't dare to move forward.

In the picture, most of the body of the unknown evil spirit has already broken free from inside.

However, before it could completely break free, the claws and body that had broken free began to melt. These melted, black, water-like strange substances quickly turned into strange black mist...

Hey!
The evil spirit was roaring and struggling.

However, he could not stop his body from melting and turning into a strange black mist.

But in a moment, all the evil spirits that had struggled out melted, leaving only the half that had not yet struggled out. In the picture, these stick figures were all left with only half of their bodies, retreating in panic and disappearing at the edge of the picture, as if they had entered the depths of a strange world.

At this moment, the stickmen in the picture are all extremely terrified, as if they had not expected this to happen.

Five dark shadows watched silently, and finally one of them slowly stepped forward, trying to enter the inner city and come to the picture on the wall. However, before it reached the picture, its body also began to melt, dripping like thick black water.

Before the black water hit the ground, it had already turned into a strange black mist and rose up.

And deep in the inner city.

The strange black fog was extremely thick, like a black sea covering...

At this moment, the remaining four dark shadows all took several steps back, not daring to think about entering the inner city.

call out--

Four dark shadows left the inner city and came to a city gate of the outer city. Su Xiaoxi happened to be carrying a crystal coffin to the city gate. She smiled when she saw the black shadows coming, but there was something weird on her pale face.

However, seeing that there were only four people, she said, "Going to the inner city again? Hehe, you're not giving up, are you? Do you know that you have tried many times? Although I sleep at home most of the time, I know..."

"You've tried this many times."

"You can't possibly succeed."

"Give it up."

"You and them cannot meet. This is a dead rule!" Su Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "If they meet, one of them will die, or both will die. This is a dead rule! Just give up..."
