Become a girl in the horror world

"We are being rude to the distinguished guest who has come from afar."
Li Anxin and Sen Lu spread their hands and did not directly respond to the girl.
The other party was obviously just wearing everyday clothes, but her every move was so dignified and confident, like a little gangster princess who had been the center of attention since childhood. Even Mori Lu found that he could not see through her.
"Miss..."
The people lying on the ground were howling and screaming.
"Miss, you must make the decision for us..."
"Miss Vanessa, it was you who said that no outsiders are allowed to enter the New Valley District today. We are all following your wishes..."
Until she heard these words, the eyes of the girl called Vanessa turned cold for a moment:
"Ok?"
The person who said this quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly covered his mouth.
"Don't be so polite. This matter is our fault. You two are obviously distinguished guests who came from afar, but we treated you so rudely. It really left a bad impression on outsiders. I am very sorry."
As she spoke, Vanessa suddenly took a few steps forward and came to Li Anxin's side, speaking gently:
"You're new to this city, so it's boring out there, right? The people out there are so boring, aren't they?"
“People who are new to this city are always out of time. They rush into this city confused, run into obstacles everywhere, and end up with injuries all over their bodies.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, those guys who call themselves people of the new world don't have the time to give you any 'beginner's guide'. They will just put up a few symbolic advertisements to welcome you and then let you get off and fend for yourself."
"I am willing to be your guide and introduce you to this city and take you to get to know District 13. I think you will like it."
As she spoke, Vanessa looked back at the two girls with a smile, the smile on her lips gradually becoming playful.
"I wonder if you are willing to accept our meager compensation?"

Chapter 325 Magical City
Sen Lu shrugged and looked at Li Anxin, who looked thoughtful and nodded after a moment.
Seeing this, several players around hurriedly retreated, making way for the two girls and Vanessa. Their eyes were filled with fear and trepidation, and no one expressed any dissatisfaction.
"Well, come with me. I'll introduce you to this city that is considered by the outside world to be the hope of mankind. The train will stop here for a week before leaving. Maybe you won't be interested in this city after I introduce it to you?"
As she spoke, a gold coin popped out of Vanessa's hand, and she put the one with golden patterns on her face, pretending to observe.
Later, Vanessa made a satisfied expression, put away the gold coins as if by magic, bowed slightly, and the scenery of the city behind her seemed to cater to the girl. The day ended and night came.
Thousands of lights are lit at this moment, like the opening ceremony of a great performance. This punk-style city within a city is rendered extremely magnificent at this moment, exuding its own charm in this conservative mirror city.
boom--
As the sound of fireworks rang out, more and more fireworks rose from the distance of the city, ascending into the night sky, exploding brilliant sparks and embellishing the dark and quiet night with colorful colors.
Vanessa came to Li Anxin with satisfaction, the golden coin in her hand was shining, and the girl smiled mysteriously:
“The patterns on the gold coin are numerous and beautiful, just like the winding streets of this city. On the surface, they appear chaotic and disorderly, but as long as people are willing to abide by the rules behind them and move forward along the patterns, they can feel the beauty beneath the mysterious veil.”
Vanessa motioned for the two girls to follow her and walked forward alone.
"There's nothing interesting on the surface of this city. It's nothing more than a mechanical workshop, a craftsman's shop, and some tasteless hotels run by some guys who are just trying to make a living. Come with me."
The two girls quickly followed Vanessa's pace.
"You should have noticed that Mirror City does not have a monetary system."
Vanessa said softly.
Li Anxin did not answer, but Sen Lu had an expression as if he was used to it.
"People born in this city have everything from birth. Everyone is sent to an orphanage from birth. Parents are unnecessary. They are uniformly assigned to different levels of schools according to the quality of their genes. A reasonable teaching system will teach them everything."
"As long as they can remember, they have lived a life of no worries about food and clothing. Until they reach adulthood, social resources will be tilted towards them. After adulthood, everyone will be assigned to different positions according to their personal abilities."
"By then, they will shine in their own positions, create their due value, and serve as the gears in the operation of this city, turning and making the wheels of this city roll forward."
“Keep iterating until the leaves fall back to their roots.”
"There is no sorrow, no worries, no need to feel inferior. People will stay safely in the area where they should stay throughout their lives, so there is no comparison. Mirror City is such an ideal utopia. Even though there are always fools who question its value, it is undeniable that this city really has its own unique charm."
When praising this city, Vanessa's eyes were full of approval and she did not hesitate to use words of praise.
"But you guys don't seem to fit in well with this city?" Li Anxin asked tentatively.
"No matter how utopian a city is, there will always be some freaks, right?" Mori Lu suddenly said.
The meaning of his words is self-evident.
Vanessa kept smiling: "Why not try to guess where those freaks ended up?"
Obviously, these freaks are the people of District 13. They are unwilling to live a life that sticks to the rules. Even if being exiled here means that they have to fight against life and need to earn a tomorrow with their own hands, they still have no hesitation, even if they are labeled as freaks by outsiders.
"This city was founded five years ago. An unprecedented explosion gave life to this city. It was an experimental accident. The entire area was annihilated in endless flames. It took root and sprouted quietly until those scavengers came here and built simple shacks. When the scale was getting bigger and bigger, the Mirror City officials decided to establish this area as a special zone. From then on, this place had a name."
Vanessa suddenly turned around with a smile. The prosperous city behind her was so brilliant, shining like stars under the night sky.
"Special Zone 13."
"Mirror City officials treat this place as a place of exile for freaks. They provide the city with minimal supplies and leave the freaks to fend for themselves."
"But they didn't expect that the freaks would build tall buildings on the ruins, transforming the ruins into a pearl that is more dazzling and moving than the outer city."
"Welcome to the world of freaks."
Vanessa said as she boarded a carriage and held out her hand for two girls to follow.
The two girls did not refuse.
As the carriage galloped through countless streets, they arrived at their destination:
"If you go further ahead, you'll reach the Hyde District. The morals of the people there are pretty bad. If you don't want to wake up in the hotel naked, avoid it."
Vanessa looked into the distance.
I saw an inner city river passing through in front of me, with the two banks of the river separated. The city on the opposite side was very different in style from the city under their feet, which was called the Xingu District. If the Xingu District was a tourist city with complete modern facilities, then the Hyde District opposite was like a small village in a corner of the world. Most of the lights on the other side of the river were turned off, and it looked lifeless.
"So, your District 13 is divided into many small districts."
"There are thirteen districts in total, and each district has a person in charge. That person in charge has his own power and is in charge of everything in that district."
"So you are the person in charge of Xingu District?" Mori Lu asked casually.
"No, I'm just the eldest daughter of the Black Rose Society. The real person in charge is someone else. Are you interested in meeting him?"
Soon they arrived at the door of a shop, a tavern called the Blazing Lady. Although it was called a tavern, it was actually very large. From the outside, it looked almost as big as a basketball court.
"Did you bring us here to experience the customs of your District 13?" Sen Lu said in a deep voice.
There was already a hint of caution in her eyes as she looked at Vanessa.
"Don't be so polite. Although we were the ones who offended you first, as your guide, I can't just not give you any face at all..."
Vanessa blinked as she spoke, looking innocent and touching.
Li Anxin didn't react much, but the black-haired girl next to her came close to her with resentment:
"You are not allowed to drink anything and just sit next to me."
Li Anxin nodded obediently.
Soon, two girls entered the tavern.
The decoration of the pub is not luxurious, but rather simple and quaint, with many cozy little accessories giving people a very friendly feeling.
The bar was full of people. Punks of various appearances were wearing strange clothes, talking loudly about something, clinking glasses from time to time, and everyone was reveling wildly.
Behind the bar, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man was watching the scene happily and wiping his wine glass.
The man is tall and gives people a very easy-going feeling, if you ignore the giant mechanical prosthesis that has been replaced on his right arm.
It was a mechanical steel fist, and the rusty fist exuded a cold air, as if it could easily crush an adult's skull.
Two unfamiliar figures interrupted the crowd's carnival. People looked at Li Anxin and Sen Lu, who walked in from outside, with vigilant eyes and unfriendly looks.
It wasn't until they saw the third girl that their frowns finally relaxed. Someone greeted them:
"Miss Vanessa? Haha, what a rare guest. What brings the young lady of the Black Rose Society here?"
"Good evening, everyone." Vanessa smiled without putting on airs.
"Hey, what's up? I never see you bringing guests here before? Are these two... um, new here?"
"Don't rush to speak. Let me guess. My brain, which is almost rusting, will be in trouble if I don't use it. Haha, has the Hope train returned to Mirror City recently? Did they get off the train?"
Vanessa clapped softly:
"Hmm, the answer is correct, but not entirely correct."
"They are not new here, they just come here to have fun and I will be responsible for leading the way."
"Hey, I was saying it! Wow, these two guys have good taste. They came to the most interesting place in this city so quickly."
"These two girls are not simple, as Miss Vanessa can lead the way personally..."
People in the tavern started chatting with each other, and soon the atmosphere became lively again. However, Vanessa did not talk to the people anymore, but brought Li Anxin and Sen Lu to the bar:
"Old man, why are you on duty alone today? Where's Xiao Mo?"
"Hahahaha, that kid is sick, and the tavern can't be closed for a day, so I have to take over."
The tavern owner laughs loudly and heartily, and you can hear it even if you sit in the corner of the tavern.
Suddenly, the tavern owner came over with some caution.
"Is there anything going on outside recently?"
Vanessa shrugged.
"There's been a lot of noise recently about the so-called All-Star Elimination Series. Those big shots are coming from all over the world to participate. Each of those guys is capable of turning Mirror City upside down. It's normal to want to leave a good impression on them."
"The scene is really big this time."
"The competition will be held in a month, and now everyone is feeling uneasy. Hehe... I heard that the invitations haven't been sent out yet."
Vanessa said casually, then raised three fingers.
"Same old, but this time it's three cups, and I'm bringing a guest."
After a while, the bar owner prepared three glasses of bright red cocktails and pushed them in front of Vanessa, lowering his voice:
"We're going down soon, right?"
"of course."
The tavern owner looked at Vanessa meaningfully, then handed a black and gold card to Vanessa and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Play it safe and don't cause any trouble."
"I have my measure."
Vanessa tapped the wall of the cup with her fingertips. She said nothing, but she had already expressed what she wanted to say.
Soon, Vanessa took the two girls to sit at the wine table and pushed the black gold card and two glasses of wine to the two people in front of them:
"Drink it, this is an old tradition. I'll take you downstairs later."
"'Below'?" Li Anxin was a little confused.
"Well, don't be fooled by the prosperous appearance here. In fact, the real New Valley District has not yet been revealed. I believe you will like it."
Vanessa shook the wine in the glass slightly.
"This drink is called Flaming Lips. Cheers to tomorrow."
Then, she drank the wine in the glass, and then slightly rotated the empty glass towards the two of them with a mysterious smile.
Li Anxin was about to reach out and grab the flaming red lips that were closer to her, but was glared at by Sen Lu.
The black-haired girl didn't say anything, but snatched the two glasses of Flaming Red Lips and drank them all in one gulp.
"If this isn't enough to help my sister pay off the bill, I can have a few more drinks." Sen Lu said nonchalantly.
Vanessa raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending to be surprised:
"This glass of wine has a very high alcohol content. Is it really okay?"
