"I am the envoy of the Slaughter King, and also your guide. Within these twelve hours, you can ask me any questions you don't understand. And as newcomers, these twelve hours are your novice protection period. As long as you don't leave within five meters of me, I can protect your safety."
"After twelve hours, you will officially become members of Slaughter City. This place will be where you live from now on."
The girl turned her head and explained.
Her bright eyes would occasionally glance at Jiang Chen's face, mainly because Jiang Chen's temperament was too extraordinary, completely unlike those desire-filled, depraved perverts.
Having lived here for many years, this was the first time the girl had seen such an outstanding young man, and her heart couldn't help but stir slightly.
She even had the thought of something wonderful happening with Jiang Chen within these twelve hours.
However, after glancing at Hu Liena, she ultimately gave up.
With such a beauty by his side, how could he possibly take notice of her?
Hu Liena's gaze had been warily fixed on this girl the whole time. When she saw the naked desire in the other's eyes as she looked at Jiang Chen, she could no longer stay calm.
Hu Liena knew very well that was the look of someone who wanted to devour a person.
She, as Jiang Chen's senior sister, hadn't even tasted Jiang Chen yet, and this girl actually dared to covet him right in front of her, practically treating her as air.
If this girl weren't the envoy of the Slaughter King, Hu Liena would have wanted to make a move already.
Jiang Chen couldn't tolerate other men insulting her, and likewise, she couldn't tolerate other women taking advantage of Jiang Chen.
Thinking of this, she stepped closer to Jiang Chen, secretly resolving in her heart that she absolutely could not let Jiang Chen leave her sight alone with this girl.
The black-clothed girl walked quietly ahead. Seeing that Jiang Chen and Hu Liena had no questions, she couldn't help but turn back in confusion.
"Mr. 8007, do you have no questions you'd like to understand?"
The girl stopped, staring fixedly at Jiang Chen's face.
"Take us directly to the Inner City," Jiang Chen said.
He already understood the rules here and didn't need the girl to explain too much.
"Are you sure? I advise you to stay in the Outer City for a while first, get familiar with the environment here, and then enter the Inner City."
"Lead the way," Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Hu Liena glanced smugly at the girl from the side, as if saying: Your tricks won't work. Don't even think about seducing my man.
"Since you want to die, I won't stop you." The girl huffed angrily and turned to walk away.
Jiang Chen and Hu Liena quickly followed.
"Whoa, newbies are here. Looks like there'll be fresh Bloody Marys, hehe."
Jiang Chen and Hu Liena looked over and couldn't help but feel surprised.
The speaker looked truly miserable, genuine skin and bones. From the exposed skin, one could clearly see the bones underneath. There wasn't a single spot on his body with any flesh, and his aura was so weak he could die at any moment.
This walking skeleton's greedy gaze kept scanning over Jiang Chen and Hu Liena.
"How can there be people like this?" Hu Liena frowned.
The girl didn't turn her head: "Life in the Inner City isn't as simple as you imagine. You have to be on guard against sneak attacks at all times, and every year, there's a battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Newcomers like you who enter the Inner City ninety-nine percent won't survive past three days."
"And the Outer City doesn't allow casual killing. Those without strength all cling to life in the Outer City, surviving by contributing two cups of Bloody Mary each month."
"Are you looking down on us?" Hu Liena said unhappily.
The girl glanced at her: "It's not about looking down or not. I'm just telling the truth."
"You..." Hu Liena was about to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Chen.
"Take us to the Inner City. Unfortunately, we just happen not to belong to that ninety-nine percent you mentioned," Jiang Chen said calmly.
The girl said nothing more and continued walking ahead.
Along the way, Jiang Chen and Hu Liena saw many more skin-and-bones people. These people would rather linger on in the Outer City, contributing two cups of blood each month, than have the courage to enter the Inner City.
From this, one could see just how brutal the Inner City was.
Hu Liena had clearly realized this as well; her pretty face gradually grew solemn.
Once they entered the Inner City, they would have to be on full alert, or they could fall at any moment.
After walking for about half an hour, the girl spoke no more and led Jiang Chen and the other two to the outside of a city wall.
The wall in front of them wasn't very high, only about ten meters. Behind this wall was the Inner City of Slaughter City.
The girl didn't pause her steps, nor did she try to persuade Jiang Chen again.
"The Inner City has no guards. Anyone from the Outer City with the courage can enter at any time. Once you enter the Inner City later, you'd better not leave my five-meter range, or I won't be able to guarantee your safety."
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen and Hu Liena followed the black-clothed girl into the Inner City.
The moment their feet crossed the city gate, Jiang Chen immediately sensed an atmosphere completely different from the Outer City.
If the Outer City was cold, dead, and lifeless, then the Inner City was a world of madness and luxury.
Here, crowds surged, and colorful lights flashed everywhere.
All sorts of chaotic scenes and jumbled noises rushed in at once, shocking Jiang Chen and Hu Liena.
Before they had taken a few steps, they heard various hair-raising sounds.
Mad laughter, cries of pain and despair, heart-rending screams...
Suddenly thrust into such a high-pressure environment, Hu Liena's heart tightened, and she closely followed beside Jiang Chen.
The girl ahead also slowed her pace, as if worried that Jiang Chen and the other would suddenly leave her side.
A woman's pained cry rang out. Jiang Chen and Hu Liena looked over to see a burly man dragging a voluptuous woman's hair, wildly attacking her in full public view.
Each of the burly man's strikes carried immense force, inflicting serious injury on the woman, who could only cry out helplessly.
A crowd had gathered around, actually cheering the burly man on.
Hu Liena's pretty face turned deathly pale, her ten fingers tightly gripping Jiang Chen's arm.
She had only ever fantasized about such things in her mind before, but had never truly witnessed them. Seeing this scene now, a trace of fear actually arose in her heart.
So this kind of thing was actually this terrifying.
She couldn't help but feel nauseated and turned her head, not daring to look anymore.
But when she turned to the other side, she saw a blood-soaked man actually holding a severed arm and chewing on it.
Sensing Hu Liena's gaze, he lifted his head and grinned at her, revealing what was in his mouth.
Hu Liena could no longer endure it. Her stomach churned, and she vomited a mouthful of bitter water.
Not to mention Hu Liena, even Jiang Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing this scene.
He quickly took hold of Hu Liena's hand.
"The Inner City isn't so easy to stay in. This place is one where people eat others without even spitting out the bones. It's still not too late for you to leave now," the girl walking ahead said.
Jiang Chen noticed that quite a few gazes around them had fallen on Hu Liena, with blazing desire in their eyes.
The alluring aura on Hu Liena had already ignited the lust of many people, but the black-clothed girl's identity made them wary, so they hadn't acted.
"First, take us to find a place to stay here," Jiang Chen said.
"There are no rules here. Whichever house you fancy, if you have the strength, just go rob it."
Disappointment already filled the girl's eyes. She now understood that this handsome guy was just a fool, nothing more than a good-looking shell.
