Chapter 16 Skull Wall
The corners of Curly City Lord's mouth tilted slightly.
"Even if you are making waves outside, you are just an ordinary person in this city. It seems that your reaction is very slow."
Ye Tingbai was stunned. He took a step forward, grabbed the city lord's neck, and lifted him high above his head. He finally understood why he found this place strange, because from beginning to end, this city was full of ordinary people.
.
Everyone is surviving in the most primitive way, not because there are no criminals who enter here, but because the people who enter here have become ordinary people.
The sound of the city lord's struggle attracted many burly men. They tried to subdue Ye Tingbai, but they were kicked by him until he spit out blood. Everyone took several steps back in fear.
The curly-haired city lord stuttered and asked: "You... how could you be so powerful?"
Ye Tingbai: "No wonder your grandson is so confident and says, what's going on!"
At this time, the city lord suddenly widened his eyes and pointed his hand behind Ye Tingbai. Through his pupils, Ye Tingbai saw a terrifying monster with ulcers and pus all over its body, and even bones could be seen in some places. But when
When he turned back, the monster had disappeared.
Ye Tingbai asked doubtfully in his heart: "Did you see it?"
Sub-personality: "No, but your eyes did see it."
The perspective of the sub-personality is different from his, relying on his perception, which is somewhat similar to God's perspective, but it seems to only work on things on the material level. Many supernatural and spiritual monsters, the sub-personality is not very good at.
The strange monster only appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared. The Curly City Lord was so frightened that Ye Tingbai let him go because he was afraid that he would die suddenly.
Ye Tingbai: "Why don't you tell me what to wait for?"
The curly-haired city lord collapsed helplessly on the ground.
"I don't know. I'm just a part-time worker. This city has its own consciousness. We all work for it."
"Those worlds, and the letters and gifts you send out, aren't they all made by you?"
The Curly City Lord shook his head in panic.
"No, it was all created by itself. We are only responsible for reception and I am responsible for record collection. We really didn't do anything."
Ye Tingbai asked for a long time before finally accepting the fact that this dream city is a place that operates independently. Every ten years, a person will be chosen to enter here and realize one of his dreams.
No one has lied to Ye Tingbai from the beginning, but I don’t know what went wrong with this opening. Dream City actually chose five people, and they still need to actively search for these five people.
Ye Tingbai: "You mean, the people selected by Dream City will appear directly in the city instead of you going out to pick them up?"
"Yes, it has been like this for thousands of years."
The people living in this city have more or less obsessions. This city has attracted many people into the city for tens of thousands of years, but no one can really survive from the beginning to the present.
At first, human beings entered the city of dreams and were ecstatic because their dreams came true. After that, they became boring and began to live ordinary lives in this city. In this city, ordinary people are immortal, free from illness and disaster, and want to
There is something for everything.
But it’s so boring, so boring that it makes people crazy. The situation of these people is similar to that of the Man in the Bone, even worse than the Man in the Bone, so many people commit suicide every year. Suicide does not enjoy the benefits of eternal life.
Just dead.
And this city will always choose a puppet to serve and manage itself. This is the birth of the city lord. In fact, the city lord's power is not great, just like a city manager.
Ye Tingbai suddenly thought of the fact that he didn't give Tian Xin the fruit.
"Why didn't you give that fruit to Tian Xin?"
Curly Hair hesitated.
"I don't know. It controls the distribution of fruits. When Tian Xin made a wish, no fruits were delivered to me."
Ye Tingbai: "Does the wish have to go through you?"
"Probably...not necessarily. I'm also new. There wasn't even a fruit setting before. The selected person will be dragged into the dreamland until she realizes her dream."
Ye Tingbai recalled the identity information of the other four people in detail. Why were there five people this time? Is there any connection between the five of them?
"City Lord, the wall, the wall is cracked!"
A resident suddenly ran and shouted outside the castle, and when everyone in the room heard this, they showed obviously panicked expressions.
The Curly City Lord immediately stood up, changing his previous slump.
"Quickly, get the tools and repair the cracks."
Ye Tingbai saw these people being so anxious and didn't stop them. He wondered what these people wanted to do.
Ten minutes later, in front of a wall that could not be seen to the top, the Curly City Lord led a team of people with a pile of very primitive construction tools and several pots of very primitive gray mud.
Are they really planning to build a wall?
But when they came closer, Ye Tingbai felt something was wrong. The smell of the mud was particularly strange, with a slight fishy smell.
Sub-personality: "Bone meal, some human tissue fluid, and some other things."
Ye Tingbai walked up to the city lord and asked.
"What are these?"
The curly-haired city lord looked around and whispered in Ye Tingbai's ear.
"It's a special material made of skulls ground into powder and mixed with brains. It's used to strengthen the wall. If the wall breaks down, we will all die."
Ye Tingbai: "Has it been broken?"
The Curly City Lord paused for a moment, his expression extremely ugly.
"Everyone who has seen the wall shattered is dead, no one is left."
Ye Tingbai raised his head and glanced at the invisible wall and asked doubtfully: "Is this wall made of this kind of material?"
Curly City Lord was a little scared when he mentioned this topic and stuttered when he spoke.
"It's... almost."
Ye Tingbai became more and more curious about the world behind the wall. The residents of this world were more like walking corpses. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were puppets of the city. After death, they had to be turned into building materials. It was really a waste utilization.
Ye Tingbai took out the tablet to monitor the other four people and found that Fran had been completely alienated and turned into a pollutant, and He Zai was like a walking zombie, sinking in such a collapsed world.
Only Gao Huihui and Tian Xin were normal. Tian Xin was on the run. Gao Huihui seemed to want to escape from her current life. Ye Tingbai looked at the screen and suddenly saw a flash behind Gao Huihui.
"Wait...what was that?"
Sub-personality: "The monster before was behind Gao Huihui. The frequency was so fast that it could be ignored by the naked eye."
