After carefully reading the short letter, Li Wei unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy in his palm, shattering the letter into dust.
It wasn't for any other reason than that the letter repeatedly instructed that it must be destroyed after reading it. The meaning couldn't be clearer: the contents of the letter must not be leaked.
In reality, the letter contained only one address.
An address that absolutely cannot be known to other reincarnators? A smile crept onto Li Wei's lips; he wanted to see what kind of den of dragons and tigers that was.
Not intending to linger in the Free Market, Li Wei headed towards a certain spot in Shadow Street, following the address in his mind.
Within Shadow Street, countless alleys divide what resembles a small town into numerous sections, each containing one or two buildings. Strangely, at the entrance of each alley, there is a wooden sign displaying the name of that alley.
Hundreds of alleys, hundreds of names, each unique and without repetition; remembering all the alley names is no easy task.
For example, the open space where the Free Market is located has a small alleyway called "Free Lane" that you have to pass through to get there, and the market got its name from that alley.
The place Li Wei was going to was located at No. 13, Hades Lane, an extremely remote place where almost no reincarnators had ever set foot.
After navigating several dark alleyways, Li Wei saw a wooden sign that read 'Hades Lane'.
"This is it!"
Li Wei must have something to rely on to come to a place like this alone; that is, the ultimate escape technique, 'Shifting Forms and Changing Positions'. If he encounters danger, as long as he uses this skill, probably no one can stop him.
If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of?
Stepping into Hades Lane, a chill immediately hits you; strangely, there's no wind.
Footsteps echoed in the dark alley. Several black rats scurried around the corners, making swishing noises. Occasionally, they would bump into small wooden barrels, but this rarely happened; mostly, there was silence.
A deathly silence!
The wooden house at the alley entrance is number 1, and so on, number 13 is the thirteenth house. But when Li Wei walked to house number 12, he found that next to this house was only an empty space, or rather, a cemetery.
Cemetery?
This was the first time Li Wei had ever seen anything like it in Shadow Street. However, it wasn't a cemetery where many people were buried; instead, it was a large mausoleum.
The Great Mausoleum will only bury one person, who is either extremely powerful or a great man, or at the very least a lord. Li Wei will not speculate too much about the tomb's occupant; he only cares that this is the 13th "Hades Lane" mentioned in the letter.
Upon entering the large mausoleum, Li Wei discovered a dome-shaped building over three meters high in the central area of the cemetery. Upon closer inspection, an entrance leading underground appeared before Li Wei's eyes.
On the wall at the entrance, Li Wei saw the number 13.
Is it underground again? Could it be another underground city?
Having just returned from the MU dungeon, Li Wei had an instinctive aversion to these underground structures. The stench and decay inside the dungeon could drive anyone who stepped inside mad.
However, the underground building did not seem to have the stench that Li Wei had imagined. On the contrary, Li Wei smelled the aroma of wine.
Li Wei's brow twitched, and he slowly walked down.
After walking for about two minutes, Li Wei reached the end of the road. In front of him was a heavy wooden door, and judging from the metal door knocker, it seemed to be quite old.
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei knocked on the door.
Soon, there was movement from the other side of the door, like a man, and then the door opened.
A middle-aged man in a black tuxedo appeared before Li Wei. His pale face was devoid of color, and his light red eyes gleamed with a certain light. He was not surprised to see Li Wei; he merely glanced at Li Wei before ushering Li Wei inside.
"Reincarnator No. 47, Vampire (Earl- level), Attributes Unknown, Rating B1, Special Skills Unknown!"
This was the information Li Wei had received, and he was beyond surprised; this was the first time he had ever encountered a B-level reincarnator.
Furthermore, the other party seems to know some information about me!
It was purely an intuition; those eyes seemed like the kind of eyes one only sees when looking in a mirror.
"Could it be..." Li Wei paused for a moment.
Eye of Perception?
Impossible! How could anyone other than myself possess this skill?
But those eyes were so familiar. Li Wei was sure he wasn't mistaken; they were indeed the pale red pupils that only the Eye of Perception possessed.
Swallowing hard, Li Wei continued to follow the people in front of him. Now he could only take it one step at a time; perhaps the mystery would be solved soon.
After passing through a corridor, Li Wei arrived at the center of a large hall.
For a moment, Li Wei thought he had gone to the wrong place; this place was clearly a replica of Shadow Street!
Inside the main hall, there were various stalls, with dozens of reincarnators moving about. Some areas resembled open-air taverns, where several reincarnators sat, drinking fine wine.
The aroma of wine that Li Wei smelled was coming from here.
But what exactly is this place?
"Welcome to our new friend, Reincarnator No. 1987!" A cow walked towards Li Wei.
Ox?
Li Wei was stunned! Wow, since when can he speak human language?
When the other person got closer, Li Wei realized that the ridiculously strong guy in front of him was actually a minotaur.
"Reincarnator No. 29, enhanced Minotaur bloodline, attributes unknown, rating B1, special skills unknown!"
It's another reincarnator with a high number, and what's more, this guy has minotaur blood. Although I can't see his attributes, this minotaur's power is definitely far superior to mine, even... it's already over 100.
Monster!
"I know you have questions. I had the same expression when I first came here a few months ago!" the minotaur chuckled. "However, I think you'll adapt quickly. You probably already know from 99 that you're the 51st Reincarnator in the entire Shadow Street to reach a B-rank combat strength rating. To be honest, when I first heard that news, it really shocked me!"
Li Wei remained silent, and the minotaur continued, "Reincarnator No. 1987, yet your combat strength has reached B-rank. This is the first time. However, since you have reached B-rank, this is your new home!"
"Where is this place?" Li Wei asked for the first time, ignoring the minotaur's incessant chatter and getting straight to the point.
"Here?" The minotaur was taken aback, looked at the reincarnator who had led Li Wei in, and muttered, "47, didn't you tell him?"
The latter shook his head, seemingly unwilling to speak.
"Haha, this is my fault, 47 is such a silent guy!" It was a man laughing loudly, making Li Wei shake his head inwardly. These two guys had completely opposite personalities.
"This is the place where advanced reincarnators operate. We call this place 'Shadow Hall.' Of course, it's only open to those who have reached Rank B!" The minotaur even winked his bull-eye at the end.
Shadow Hall?
It's not just a product of class consciousness; there are quite a few people in Shadow Street who consider themselves superior.
In an instant, Li Wei thought of those high-end clubs or private clubs in the real world that are only open to the elite. It seems that wherever there are people, this class distinction can never be severed.
"Here, you'll find more advanced skills, weapons, bloodlines, and high-level dungeon keys. Plus, you can make a lot of friends, and you can extract a lot of information from them!" The minotaur whispered the last sentence, clearly leaning his massive head closer.
Li Wei understood!
This minotaur is the one who gave me that letter, and he's also the 'leader' of Knight No. 99. The reason they treated me this way was to win me over.
They themselves said that there are very few B-level experts, and recruiting even one would greatly strengthen their side. If it were Li Wei, he would do the same.
So, this is the time to make your stance clear.
If he agrees, he will likely become this minotaur's 'subordinate,' just like Knight No. 99. If he disagrees, Li Wei can also foresee the consequences.
In Shadow Street, as long as they are outside the Shadow Guard's line of sight, Reincarnators can attack each other. This is why most Reincarnators only move around the Shadow Guard; of course, this area is clearly not within the Guard's jurisdiction.
If it were someone else, they might be afraid, but Li Wei...
Li Wei chuckled. Of course, he wasn't afraid of anything. Whether in the real world or the Shadow Street, he had never truly been afraid of anything. However, it seemed that temporarily joining the Minotaur side wouldn't be so bad, did it?
Of course, Li Wei had one more question before that.
