The woman wasn't angry; instead, she smiled and said, "Did I say I was looking for you?"
"This gentleman is my target."
"With the outside world in such chaos, I should at least get some benefits out of it, right?"
Weiyang sneered, "Don't you know what the Tower of Sin is like?"
"They were even thinking of bribing others to go to that godforsaken place."
"You're sick!"
The woman's expression changed, and she said in a grim tone, "I advise you to speak less, otherwise I have many ways to ensure you don't earn a single Merit in the future."
Weiyang was not afraid, and instead retorted, "Go ahead and try."
In terms of Merit points, the 100 Merit Qin Jiao gives her every day are already more than enough.
Does she really think she's afraid of this person leaving? How could Qin Jiao possibly cut off her source of income?
I'm afraid she won't dare.
Li Chen watched the show from the sidelines.
This guy must be the group Weiyang mentioned who wanted to trick her, but right now, the interior of the Strange Pavilion is like an intelligence base.
The walls on the second floor were covered with wanted posters.
There are still many task lists.
There were very few people; almost no one was loitering on the second floor.
After seeing the woman leave, Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These guys really are maggots from the Strange Pavilion!"
All they do is swindle and cheat.
Li Chen was somewhat curious and asked, "What do you mean? And what is this Tower of Sin' you mentioned earlier?"
As Weiyang walked, she explained, "The Tower of Sin is a unique building in the City of Sin, but people die in this building every single day."
"The reason people died is because the Tower of Sin has 50 floors, and each floor has a floor master."
"You can get the same amount of Merit just by occupying one floor for a day. Many people go there for the Merit because it's very difficult to gain Merit in the City of Sin."
"The city of City of Sin has become bloated with too many criminals, and this tower is both a trap and an opportunity."
"Anyone with the ability can try, but the price is their life."
"That woman just now likes to lure newcomers into trying to conquer the tower; she profits from it."
Li Chen was still somewhat puzzled.
Why would people climb the tower if they knew it was a trap?
Does the tower have the power to force them?
Weiyang took a bite of her lollipop and said, "The Tower of Sin is disgusting because it made the city disgusting."
"Medicine, do you know about it?"
"An addictive drug, popular in the City of Sin, but it is also this drug that has bankrupted countless people, leaving them only the option to attempt the tower, only to be beaten to death in the end."
"But some of the luckier ones did receive Merit, which they also used to buy medicine."
"The final outcome is self-evident."
Li Chen was stunned. Wasn't this just "drugs"?
In other places, this kind of medicine is regulated; how come no one in such a large city is regulating it?
Furthermore, as Sequence User, don't they know the dangers of drugs?
Weiyang seemed to have guessed Li Chen's doubts and sighed, "This city is just so corrupt, wretched, and utterly stinking."
"Whoever has been here before has a criminal record; where would you find a good person?"
"Medicine is nothing more than something that certain powerful figures discard."
"This city appears harmonious on the surface, but beneath the surface, undercurrents are surging. Anyone who enters this City of Sin has already stepped one foot into hell."
Hearing her words, Li Chen frowned and asked, "Then how did you get in?"
"How long have you been inside?"
Judging from her understanding of Sinful City, she must have stayed there for a long time.
Weiyang smiled bitterly, "I... I'm a newborn from the City of Sin, and I've lived in this environment since I was little."
"I'm sorry." Li Chen paused. He hadn't expected that the little girl in front of him had grown up in such an environment.
Weiyang laughed first, completely unconcerned, "Pfft, hahaha, alright."
"I've lived for so many years, a little more time won't make a difference. Once I awaken, I'll be able to leave!"
"Go and finish your business first."
"I'm free today."
Li Chen raised her eyes. Compared to her, she was somewhat similar, although her living environment was much harsher.
She can still be so optimistic right now; I don't know if she's just carefree or what. I shook my head and followed her.
The two walked up to a front desk.
Weiyang seemed to know the woman at the front desk very well, and immediately called out, "Sister Xuan, please help me process my friend's identity information."
"And his place of residence."
It was processed very quickly.
It cost Weiyang 10 Merit, which she paid through gritted teeth.
Li Chen remembered that he had accumulated a lot of Merits in the Ruined Pass, but since this phone was not yet turned on and his account had not been uploaded, he did not know whether those Merits were still there.
Weiyang pointed to a small, high-tech sign with black lettering at the bottom and smiled at Li Chen.
"Here you go, this is your identification card."
"Once you have this, you're officially a criminal!"
Li Chen: "..."
Ignoring Li Chen's dark expression, Weiyang took out her phone. "Let's go, let's go see your place now."
"It seems to be in building 10086, on the 25th floor. It's a nice low floor."
The two walked on the snow in the heavy snow.
Along the way, Weiyang seemed to have gotten to know Li Chen, chattering away the whole time, always with a candy in her mouth.
Following the previous signs, the two went directly into their assigned dormitory.
This surprised Li Chen; he hadn't expected criminals to receive such good treatment.
Two bedrooms, one living room, and one kitchen.
His time in Magic City was actually worse than that of a criminal...
As soon as Weiyang entered the apartment, she collapsed onto the sofa, muttering, "Finally here! I'm exhausted!"
It's true that Weiyang is just an ordinary person who hasn't awakened yet, and going through this will definitely be tiring.
Standing by the window, Li Chen could see most of the scenery.
However, this landscape is now covered by heavy snow, and all that can be seen are small black dots moving about.
After a long silence...
Li Chen asked, "Weiyang, do you know how to get out of Sinful City?"
Weiyang hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, but it's very difficult. I heard Jiaojiao-jie Jiao say that the top floor of the Tower of Sin is guarded by the Pass Master. If you can pass through 50 floors and occupy it for a day, the Pass Master will grant you the right to leave the city."
"But that's just wishful thinking; Pass Master Guan is no pushover."
"Otherwise, countless people would have already left this Sinful City."
"Moreover, things are not peaceful outside these days. The Canghai Pass was damaged by Evil Cult, and it has not been repaired to this day."
"The whole world is unsafe; apart from the border crossings that have not yet been breached, the inland areas are already filled with fear."
"Going out is actually worse than staying in Sinful City."
It hasn't been repaired yet?
Li Chen's expression was solemn. What exactly happened while he was asleep?
As for the Tower of Sin, he still needed to consider it.
Is this really the only chance to get out?
