Zili's Spirit Grass Space

Chapter 1020 A Desperate Place

"Perhaps it was a good thing for you to die at the hands of your enemies, but now that you are in this place, life is simply worse than death. Over the long years, I have seen too many people commit suicide because they couldn't stand this kind of mental torture. But some people really Some died, and some were discovered by law enforcement officers before they died, and they were taken away by them, but those people had no way to survive." Aunt Hua sighed.

"Aunt Hua, I won't die! One day I will leave here." Shangguan Zili said stubbornly: "As long as I don't die, there is hope of leaving."

"You are such a stubborn child." Aunt Hua's smile was very stiff, and she looked like someone who hadn't smiled for a long time. "Well, I'll wait to see if you're an exception."

"Don't you guys have to build this palace every day, don't you have a day off?" Shangguan Zili asked puzzled.

"That's not true. We work for ten days and rest for three days. If we are usually tired, we can also stop and practice breathing adjustment. It's just that the city lord assigned us a basic task in each area. As long as we complete the task and want to You can do anything, but if you fail to complete the task, you will be punished. The city lord punishes the lord, the lord punishes the enforcer, the enforcer punishes the foreman, and the foreman punishes the people below. Our old Chen is the kindest foreman, you can see him Luckily in the hands. The other foremen tortured people like hell."

"Who is the lord?" Shangguan Zili remembered that the fairy clan guarding the city gate said that there was competition among several lords.But who are those lords?
"We have four lords here. One of the four lords is a woman, and the other three are men. No one knows who the lord is." Aunt Hua said.

"Where are those law enforcers? How many law enforcers are here, and what is the relationship between those law enforcers and the lord?" Shangguan Zili continued to ask.

"When you inquire about this, you must think that knowing the enemy and the enemy will make it easier to deal with it in the future, right? We also had this idea before. At that time, we naively thought that we could leave alive. But more than 1000 years have passed, and the years have smoothed all our fighting spirit. .Looking at you now, I think of us in the past. Your name is Zili, right? Zili, listen to my aunt's persuasion, accept your fate when you get here, and don't do stupid things. I'm worried that you will anger them. Death is not the last thing. It's scary, and the scariest thing is not being able to die." Aunt Hua persuaded sadly.

"Aunt Hua, you think there is no hope, but I think differently. No matter what the future holds, you just need to tell me everything here. If you succeed, I will take you away. If you fail, it has nothing to do with you." Shangguan Zi Li looked at Aunt Hua and said, "No matter how you look at it, you have nothing to lose, right?"

Aunt Hua thought about it.Shangguan Zili was right.Although she is not optimistic about this girl, maybe she can really surprise her.Life always needs a little gambling to be interesting.

"There are a total of 16 law enforcers here, of which 92 are directly under the jurisdiction of the city lord, and the remaining 23 are assigned to four lords, and each lord has [-] people. Except for the four lords, one hundred and eight In addition to law enforcers, there are unknown numbers of death guards in various places in the dead city. They are the most trusted subordinates of the city lord. These death guards hide in the dark, and as long as someone is against the city lord, they will be unaware Every time they appear, someone will die. But even if they make a move, no one should be able to find them."

"Some people speculate that the Lord of the Dead City is mysterious and should have the strength of an Immortal Lord. His death guards are at least as strong as an Immortal Monarch, and there may be an Immortal Emperor among them," Aunt Hua said.

"According to what you said, this dead city is really hard to break through. No wonder so many of you are willing to be enslaved by them." Shangguan Zili touched his chin and said.

"Girl, do you think that among so many people, there is no one who has no interests? Why does no one in the entire dead city dare to mess around? It's not because their methods are too cruel, and they dare not take this risk at all. Those thorns who want to make trouble They cleaned it up long ago, and the rest are afraid to make trouble." Aunt Hua said.

"Really? This dead city... is really interesting." Shangguan Zili smiled faintly: "A good city must be named Dead City. The city lord is even more elusive."

"Tomorrow is a rest day." Aunt Hua said, "It's usually quite fun. You can walk around and have a look around."

"Can you walk around? Are you not restricted?" Shangguan Zili asked curiously.

"They are very relieved because they know we can't leave. You can go anywhere," Aunt Hua said.

"Including the place where the city lord lives?" Shangguan Zili was surprised.

She thought that a dead city with such strong constraints should have no human rights and freedom, but she never thought that they would let these people walk around.Are they too confident in their own strength, or are they too ignorant of the fighting power of these people?
"Oh, no one has seen the city owner, who knows where the city owner lives?" Aunt Hua shook her head and said, "Okay, I've said all I need to say, I'm going back. It's freezing cold here at night. Although our Your cultivation is good, but you still can’t bear the cold here. Little girl, I advise you not to underestimate everything here. Those who underestimated this place before are all dead.”

"I'll go back with you." Of course Shangguan Zili would not doubt Aunt Hua's words.It's no good for her to lie to her.

On the way back, Shangguan Zili thought of the law enforcers who came over this afternoon, and asked casually, "Those law enforcers are still served by women?"

"Hmph, if those beautiful women who are as unlucky as us are fancy by them, they will be forced to serve them. When they get tired of being played by them, they will be thrown back to work as coolies. You look pretty good, if you don't Your face was smudged this afternoon, they didn't see your appearance, and you can't escape that fate." Aunt Hua said angrily.

"It turns out that Aunt Hua made me dirty on purpose today, just to avoid those people's entanglement." Shangguan Zili suddenly realized.

"I just don't want you to follow in the footsteps of those women. I can tell that you are a decent girl." Aunt Hua sighed: "Okay, the weather is going to change, hurry back to your room and stay."

Aunt Hua hurried back with Shangguan Zili.Not long after they entered the house, there was a strong wind and rain outside.At that moment, Shangguan Zili understood what Aunt Hua meant by 'cold'.

It was really cold!Even in the Mortal World, there is no such cold place.Even though they all have cultivation bases, they still can't bear the cold.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and practice. It's cold, but as long as you practice hard, you can get over it." Aunt Hua urged.
