Hidden in the shadows was a figure wrapped in tattered rags, lying prone on the ground, its head tilted back, staring intently at the three.

Looking at the other person's attire, Rod frowned and muttered:

"beggar?"

A beggar?

Ning Feng didn't think this strange man was just a beggar.

"Don't be fooled by them...don't be fooled by them!"

Sure enough, the eccentric figure exuding an aura of madness straightened up, glared at Ning Feng and the other two, and said quickly in a low voice:

"They were all deceived by the king's lies!"

"He's not a wise king, Leinhardt is a madman!"

"He is not God's chosen one... No, no, no! God is a lie! It's all a lie!"

! ”

A strange man, reeking of an indescribable stench and wrapped in tattered rags, took a step toward the group.

Perhaps because he had been lying down for too long, his legs were not flexible and he staggered.

Frowning at the stench emanating from him and taking a step back, Rhodes spoke with disgust:

"Don't come any closer."

But the strange man ignored him and continued to stride forward, heading towards Ning Feng, the only one of the three who did not retreat.

"Hey! Can't you hear me? I said..."

Silently raising his hand, Ning Feng silently stopped Rhodes from stepping forward.

After being stopped, Rod instinctively asked:

"What are you trying to do... Why are you stopping me?"

But before Rhodes could finish speaking, the rest of his words were cut off by Ning Feng's nonchalant glance back.

!

!

At that moment, Rhodes suddenly remembered his current status and position.

As a partner who failed the test and was forced to "join forces," I have no right to give orders...

Rhodes: "…………"

Rod's cheek twitched, and he turned his head away, no longer looking into Ning Feng's calm, deep black eyes.

Humph.

Fine, I'll just give up!

After Luo De wisely shut up, Ning Feng silently withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the anomaly before him.

Ning Feng showed no disgust in his eyes, nor did he furrow his brow because of the stench emanating from the other person.

They neither spoke nor went far away.

He just watched quietly as the strange man approached and fell down in his anxiety.

Without offering a helping hand, Ning Feng looked down at the strange man kneeling before him, letting him grab the hem of his clothes.

"Outsider! Leave this place, leave this place, you must leave this place!"

Trembling, the strange man raised his head and stared intently at Ning Feng, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

"Everything here is a lie! Everyone's gone mad!"

The eyes peeking out from the tattered clothes, eyes filled with fear and madness, were now gradually welling with murky tears.

"Otherwise... you'll become one of them, blinded, and end up with nothing! Nothing..."

The strange man roared, trying to say something, but was interrupted by a loud noise.

Bang!

!

The loud noise startled Chu Yu. She panicked and quickly reached for her waist bag while cautiously looking in the direction from which the sound came.

The innkeeper, who had just been all smiles because he'd made an extra "small amount of money," now had a face full of rage and fury, pounding on the wall and roaring at the strange man:

"Hey!

"You damned beggar, how did you sneak in again?! Get out!"

He strode over and grabbed the strange man by the collar, lifting him up.

"Get out of here!"

The strange man, who had been captured, didn't resist. He immediately released Ning Feng and cried out loudly:

"Dead! Everyone is dead!"

The piercing sound was filled with despair and madness, sending chills down one's spine.

"You! You're all dead!"

! ”

The beggar wailed as the hotel owner dragged him out and threw him heavily onto the ground outside.

"Don't let me see you come into my hotel again! Get out!"

! ”

Bang!

The innkeeper slammed the door shut. Just a moment ago he was furious, but when he turned to look at Ning Feng and the others, he suddenly reverted to his previous smiling demeanor.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect him to sneak in."

Ning Feng had observed the unfolding events with a cold eye but hadn't intervened. He looked at the shop owner, thought for a moment, and said:

"You know him?"

His smile froze for a moment, and the boss paused before saying:

“Of course I know him. How could I not know him? He was originally a very good person, a devout believer.”

"He originally came from a well-off family; his wife was a kind seamstress, and his daughter was only eight years old, but..."

His eyes were filled with regret, and he sighed as he said:

"But one day he suddenly went mad, shouting that we were all dead..."

"He not only set his own house on fire, but he also pushed his wife and daughters into the burning house. Alas!"

With a heavy sigh, the shop owner didn't want to say anything more. He took the key from Ning Feng's hand and walked towards the room first.

"Don't worry about him, I'll have my guys handle him, he won't bother you anymore."

Dude? More like a thug.

Ning Feng was not surprised at all that someone could set up a hotel in the slums of the royal city and have one or two thugs behind him.

Upon entering the room, Ning Feng strode directly to the window, opened it, and looked downstairs.

He saw two tall men downstairs, cursing and dragging the strange beggar man into a dark alley.

The strange man, however, did not struggle or resist; he simply stared wide-eyed at the sky.

Ning Feng's action of opening the window caught his attention. His lifeless eyes turned and looked at the second-floor window.

After the strange man and Ning Feng locked eyes, his eyes lit up and his mouth opened and closed silently.

He said silently:

"They're all dead."

"us……"

"They're all dead."

Ning Feng, after contemplating the scene for a moment, nodded to the strange man.

Then, he silently closed the window!

bang.

The strange man was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene, and then tears welled up in his eyes.

His mouth stretched wide, revealing an exaggerated smile.

Is he mocking me?

Or is it a sense of relief?

……

……

As night fell, the city suddenly transformed the moment the torches were lit.

A somber atmosphere.

"By the King's order! Seal off the city!"

"Lose the city!"

"Seize all outsiders!"

The soldiers kept passing on the commands, keeping the king's orders firmly in mind.

Their voices, in the darkness of night, merged into an angry roar that enveloped the city.

Accompanied by the dark clouds in the sky, it exploded like thunder:

"Seize all outsiders!"
