Chapter 365: Why Not Stand Entirely With Me

Walking into the city, what Qin Jian and the other saw was a world of blue and purple.

The streetlamps hanging on both sides of the street emitted only these two colors of light.

To their slight surprise, there were quite a few people here, yet it seemed no one paid any attention to him, an outsider.

Except for the fact that everything appeared so gloomy, at a first glance, it seemed no different from an ordinary city.

"If you have any questions, I will answer them."

Seeing Qin Jian and Hu Liena looking around on their own as if she were a mere guard, the Black-Veiled Woman could not help but try to make her presence felt.

Who would have thought that Hu Liena would glance at her and say directly, "We have no questions, you may leave."

Black-Veiled Woman: "???"

Bibi Dong was one of the two living Killing Gods of the current age, so before they came, she had naturally explained all the various rules of Slaughter City to the two of them clearly.

"Don't be like that, Nana. Without her, who will guarantee our safety for the next twelve hours?" Qin Jian said.

"You need protection?"

Hu Liena shot him a look and said, "I think you just like looking at her."

Qin Jian pulled her slender waist over and laughed, "What nonsense are you spouting? With my Nana by my side, how could I look at other women?"

"Tch, smooth-talking man." Hu Liena rolled her eyes.

The two of them walked forward, arms around each other.

The Black-Veiled Woman felt as if she had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food.

It was her first time doing this job of guiding newcomers, and she felt quite sour about it; it was a pity there were no lemons in Slaughter City...

Killing was not allowed at will in the Outer City, and the people here had to contribute two cups of Yellow Spring Dew every month; they were all listless and naturally did not catch the eyes of Qin Jian and his companion.

"Take us directly to the Inner City," Qin Jian said.

"There are no rules in the Inner City. You have just arrived in Slaughter City, so I advise you to live in the Outer City for a period of time to adapt before entering the Inner City; otherwise, you will likely be turned into Yellow Spring Dew within a day or two," the Black-Veiled Woman said coldly.

"That wouldn't be good. I'm in dire need of spirits right now, and there are too many restrictions in your Outer City where one cannot kill at will," Qin Jian said casually.

The Black-Veiled Woman frowned again.

She truly could barely stand it; how could there be such an arrogant person?

But she did not voice this sarcasm.

After all, she did not know what his background or strength was, and offending him lightly would not be wise.

The Black-Veiled Woman only said, "Then please follow me, but after entering the Inner City, please do not leave my five-meter radius; that way, I will still guarantee your safety for twelve hours."

Qin Jian shrugged noncommittally.

Seeming to sense Qin Jian's skepticism, the Black-Veiled Woman added meaningfully, "Let me warn you once: I have seen too many people like you who pride themselves on their formidable strength, and they all ended up in miserable states."

"Slaughter City is different from the outside; there are no rules here, and many people have bizarre methods of killing. One moment of carelessness is the price of your life."

Qin Jian looked at her in surprise, then nodded.

After all, her words could be considered quite sensible, even though he wasn't truly being arrogant.

He just felt there was no need to stay in the Outer City; once he reached the Inner City, he naturally wouldn't go around acting recklessly...

Slaughter City was unexpectedly vast, and it took Qin Jian and Hu Liena a full half-day of walking behind the Black-Veiled Woman to finally see the gate to the Inner City.

However, there were actually no guards here at all.

"Anyone can enter the Inner City, as long as you have the courage."

The Black-Veiled Woman seemed to guess their confusion, explained it, and then stopped to confirm once more, "Are you really going to enter the Inner City on your very first day here?"

Qin Jian and Hu Liena stepped into the Inner City together, without the slightest hesitation.

Black-Veiled Woman: "..."

The moment their feet entered the Inner City, the two of them immediately felt an atmosphere completely different from the Outer City.

If the Outer City was a world of dead silence and indifference.

Then, the Inner City was a world of luxury and madness, where all kinds of colorful lights could be seen everywhere.

Moreover, the number of people in the Inner City was far greater than in the Outer City, and it was completely different from the quiet of the Outer City.

"Kill, kill, kill!" "Ahhh!" "Hahaha!"

Inside the Inner City, it was extremely chaotic.

Everywhere there were excited laughs, painful screams, and many other hair-raising sounds.

Looking out, in a corner to the left, an extremely tall and sturdy man was dragging a plump woman by her hair, venting his desires in full public view.

"Good! ——"

A crowd had gathered around, but they were all cheering him on.

On the other side, three or four people were brutally beating a young man, and Qin Jian watched as one of the youth's arms was ripped off.

"This place is truly a dance of demons."

Both Qin Jian and Hu Liena felt a slight sense of discomfort at this moment.

Men and women were mating on the streets at any time, and some were even killed in the process of mating.

Slaughter was happening every moment, and these people were not just killing; they were engaging in various forms of torture, wantonly releasing the hostility that had been suppressed in the outside world.

Here, one could not see any side of goodness; all one could see was the most extreme evil in human nature.

"Qin Jian, is this the 'interesting' humanity you spoke of?"

The girl's voice carried deep disgust: "I have never seen such evil."

Qin Jian was silent for a moment, then slowly said in his heart, "Humanity is complex; what you see here is only their most evil side."

"People are divided into good and evil, just as Soul Beasts have good and bad."

"I just don't want a war between races; I am also disgusted by the humans before us."

The girl was silent for a moment, then said, "You always have your reasons... Actually, what I care about isn't whether they deserve to die, but you."

"What do you care about?" Qin Jian asked in surprise.

The girl said, "What I care about is why you don't stand on the side of the Soul Beasts, why you don't stand completely on my side. Don't you know that by standing on the positions of both Soul Beasts and humans, you will only please neither side, and in the end, the one who will have the hardest time is yourself?"

"Position..."

Qin Jian sighed in a low voice: "You are always able to grasp the essence of the problem. That's right, setting aside right and wrong, this is actually a question of position. I really find it hard to tell you why..."

Could he say that in his past life he was a human, so he naturally felt a stronger sense of identification with humans?

"But don't worry, no matter what, I will never be your enemy," Qin Jian said.

"Can I trust you?" the girl asked.

"The Silver Dragon Spear trusts me, yet you still don't?" Qin Jian said.

The girl: "..."

Seeing Qin Jian holding the spear and not speaking for a long time, Hu Liena couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that a third party had been inserted into their honeymoon trip in Slaughter City...

But the Black-Veiled Woman did not know what Qin Jian was doing and assumed he was frightened, so she gave a low laugh and said, "This is the Inner City. If you are afraid, there is still time to retreat now."
