Black Veil Woman seemed not to expect that Long Zhanye would suddenly ask this question.
She was obviously stunned.
Immediately.
Then she let out a chuckle, with some deliberate disapproval in her laughter. "Evil Soul Master?"
"Evil Soul Master always has."
"They are nothing more than a group of Spirit Master who have fallen for themselves and chosen the evil method of devouring human flesh, flesh and souls to increase their strength."
"And Slaughter City, as I told you before, in the past thousand years, only two 'God of Slaughter' have emerged."
"It is impossible for other people to leave here. How could Slaughter City run out?!"
She paused, as if to increase her persuasiveness, and added:
"Slaughter City Outer City, most of them are just surviving..."
"The walking zombie has lost its fighting spirit. Although it has fallen, it is not Evil Soul Master in the strict sense."
"Inner City There are indeed some guys who meet your definition of 'Evil Soul Master'. They are more cruel and evil."
"But-"
She emphasized her tone. "No matter how evil they do in Inner City, no matter how powerful they are."
"As long as they are still within the scope of Slaughter City, they will never be able to step out of here!"
"This is an iron rule!"
Can't leave? Long Zhanye's doubts have not been completely dispelled.
He remembered the "another Slaughter City" mentioned by Medusa.
"If... it wasn't your Slaughter City who ran away, Evil Soul Master."
Long Zhanye stared at Black Veil Woman closely, not letting go of any subtle change in her expression.
He asked slowly, "Will..."
"Did you escape from another building, 'Slaughter City', which was said to have been destroyed long ago?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Black Veil Woman's body stiffened almost imperceptibly!
Although she covered it up very quickly, Long Zhanye's Double Pupil clearly captured the flash of panic in her eyes.
And the breathing rhythm under her veil suddenly became a little unnatural!
"This..." Black Veil Woman's voice showed obvious hesitation for the first time.
She subconsciously avoided Long Zhanye's gaze, "Maybe I can still hear something about the Sun Moon Continent..."
"But what you said, another Slaughter City... I, I don't know... This is beyond my knowledge... I can't answer you."
Her panic and incoherence were in sharp contrast to the smooth and calm way she answered the questions before.
This is almost like asking for it!
Long Zhanye felt a storm in his heart.
It seems that there is no connection between the destroyed Slaughter City of the Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent!
It is even possible that Douluo Continent Slaughter City was "destroyed" back then.
It was not a complete cleanup in the true sense, but it caused some terrible "things" to be leaked out.
In the end, the poisonous continent caused the disaster of "Evil Soul Master"!
And the manager of the Sun Moon Continent, Slaughter City, may know about this, and even...
Involved?
This speculation made Long Zhanye shudder.
If this is the case, then Slaughter City is more than just a penal colony for sin.
It is more likely to be a source that breeds and spreads extreme evil!!
He did not continue to ask Black Veil Woman.
Some answers need to be seen by yourself in this city with your own eyes and verified with reality.
Just.
When he looked ahead at the dark road leading to Inner City, the coldness in his eyes deepened.
As they went deeper in the direction of Inner City, more pedestrians gradually appeared on both sides of the street.
But similar to the skull-like guy from before.
Most of these people have a sickly gray or pale complexion, a thin body, and numb and empty eyes.
Or wandering aimlessly on the street, or huddled in a corner.
There is almost no life on their bodies, let alone the aura of a strong person.
No need for Black Veil Woman to explain, Long Zhanye already understands.
These.
They are those "Outer City residents" who only contribute two cups of "Bloody Mary" every month in exchange for living.
One cup is nearly half a catty, and two cups is one pound of blood.
You might be able to hold on for a month, but in this dark underground world with harsh environment.
With such long-term blood loss, the body's functions will inevitably be severely exhausted, and eventually it will become like a human being, a ghost, not a ghost.
Slaughter City's Outer City, the scene was even more dilapidated than Long Zhanye expected.
On both sides of the street are simple, low-rise black stone houses.
There is no decoration, only the most basic shielding function.
every certain distance.
Only then will some relatively larger buildings appear.
There was a long, silent queue at the door, where basic food was distributed.
Most of the people receiving food had expressionless faces and mechanical movements, and the whole scene was filled with a sense of despair and depression.
The so-called "paradise of sin" and "indulgence and enjoyment" are simply a joke in Outer City.
This place is more like a poorly managed concentration camp, where a group of "living dead" who have lost their will are imprisoned.
For this huge contrast, Black Veil Woman gave a cold and realistic explanation.
"Evil people are divided into three, six, and nine grades."
"Here, only the truly powerful villains who dare to face Hell Slaughter Arena are qualified to step into Inner City."
"Enjoy everything there - the power, resources, and the 'freedom' to indulge in sex. As for these..."
She glanced at the numb figures on the roadside, and her tone was calm.
"They are just useless trash. They naturally have no right to enjoy anything. Being alive is a gift."
This city is bigger than Long Zhanye imagined.
After walking for nearly an hour, I got a general understanding of the gloomy and despairing tone of Outer City.
Black Veil Woman took him to a city wall.
Compared with the towering black main city wall on the outside, the city wall in front of us is much shorter.
At the highest point, which is about ten meters, the wall is also black, with a more direct smell of blood.
A wide city gate was wide open and unguarded by any guards.
"This is the entrance to Inner City." Black Veil Woman introduced in an indifferent tone.
"Inner City does not need to be guarded. Outer City's losers can enter at any time as long as they have the courage."
"Of course, once you step in, you have to endure everything that Inner City's 'no rules' world brings."
"It may be instant death, or it may be... short-term bliss."
She looked at Long Zhanye, with a hint of suggestion in her voice, "You are new here, and you are not familiar with everything here."
"I suggest you live in Outer City for a period of time and then consider entering Inner City after adapting to the environment."
"If you insist on going in now, please follow me closely and do not leave within five meters of me."
"Otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety."
"Is it safe to be with you?" Long Zhanye asked with a hint of sarcasm.
Black Veil Woman glanced at him, and a trace of pride flashed in the eyes outside the veil.
"I am Envoy of the King of Slaughter."
"In Slaughter City, no one dares to openly offend the majesty of King of Slaughter."
"And you, as a newcomer, enjoy a twelve-hour 'protection period'."
"During this period, having me accompany you is the greatest protection for your life. Once this time limit is exceeded..."
Her voice turned cold, "Then, your life or death can only be determined by heaven or your own strength."
"Protection period for newcomers?" Long Zhanye understood clearly.
Sure enough.
This sin city is not completely disordered, it has its own cruel execution system.
Without any hesitation, Long Zhanye took a step toward the open city gate.
Seeing this, Black Veil Woman said no more and walked side by side into the area of Inner City.
