Chapter 69

His vision pierced through the darkness, and gradually he saw the light at the end.

Luolin felt he had been walking for a long time; at least, he was now very far from that building.

Moreover, the path beneath Luolin's feet was not flat ground, but descending stairs.

"Where exactly are we going?"

Luolin also put away his joking thoughts. What he had said earlier was, of course, just flirtatious banter.

Luolin wouldn't really think that someone meeting him for the first time would have any strange thoughts about him. What she was thinking about must be something else.

"Hehe, little brother, you've seen the prosperity of the city, but have you seen its dark side?"

"The dark side? I have."

"Oh?"

However, that wasn't the case, because Luolin was not from this world. In his previous life, in another world, with another identity, he had seen many things.

"To be honest with you, I've done some shameful things."

Luolin said. At a time like this, he didn't mind talking about it.

"There was a period when I had no one to rely on and no means of survival. To avoid starving to death, I found some not-so-legitimate work to do. Those people gave me other people's personal information, and then I went to collect money from those people.

It looked like I was just collecting money from others and handing it back to those people, but in reality? Those people were fraudsters, and I was an accomplice helping them collect the money they had swindled."

Luolin sighed, and Xixizi glanced at him.

"I didn't expect you to have such an experience."

Xixizi smiled. She wasn't particularly moved.

"However, I think after experiencing what comes next, you'll feel that was nothing."

Xixizi's smile now truly made Luolin feel uncomfortable and fearful. Luolin had an ominous premonition.

"I can guarantee that you definitely won't like what happens next."

As Xixizi finished this sentence, they finally reached their destination.

The dark stairway came to an end, and they saw a door. Xixizi pushed it open and entered.

Luolin followed behind her, and what he saw next was a scene of light pollution, lights splashing everywhere, and his ears heard chaotic sounds.

"Please put these on."

The person guarding the door handed over two masks. Xixizi took one and put it on, and Luolin followed suit. Then they continued forward.

A man in a tailcoat, also wearing a mask, walked over and bowed to Xixizi.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Not for now. First, take us to a position further forward to have a look."

Xixizi said, and the other party nodded.

"Yes!"

Under his guidance, the two of them bypassed the crowd and arrived at a position in the back.

Luolin still hadn't completely figured out the situation. Everyone here was wearing masks, but there were different types of people.

One type was the people in the surrounding audience seats who were cheering incessantly. The other type was people like him now, brought to what seemed like VIP seats.

In the middle was a huge arena. Luolin wasn't clear what was going on here.

But he didn't ask, because he knew his doubts would soon be resolved.

Two different figures appeared on the arena. On one side was a very burly man, and on the other side was a skinny little boy whose clothes were quite tattered.

At some point, a strange bell rang. This bell was the signal to begin.

Both sides prepared themselves and then charged toward each other.

Luolin took advantage of this gap to look around. The surrounding people were all cheering, each supporting one side, while Xixizi just watched this scene with extreme calmness.

"Wu... Ora!"

The burly man lifted the little boy with one hand and then slammed him heavily onto the ground. A large crater appeared directly on the ground surface.

The little boy spat out some bright red blood.

However, the burly man did not stop. He continued his violent acts.

After ravaging him for a while, he threw the boy aside, tossing him into the distance, then slowly walked over.

"Go! Go!"

The surrounding audience began to boil with excitement.

"Ehehe, I won."

The burly man raised his arms, put his hands together, and then smashed down heavily.

However, this time his attack missed. The boy dodged the attack, circled around his body, then took out a small knife he had been hiding in his hand and stabbed it into his body from behind, piercing through his heart.

"How... how could this be!"

He couldn't even believe such a result.

However, that little boy's actions thoroughly implemented the principle of "fast, accurate, and ruthless." After being stabbed, he only felt his whole body losing strength, then fell down.

"Damn! Another upset!"

"The right-side party is dead!"

"See you on the rooftop tonight."

The surrounding audience seats immediately erupted in wails and howls, though of course there were also some people secretly laughing.

"How about it? Are you ready?"

While Luolin was still thinking, Xixizi's voice came from beside him. Luolin also turned to look, and saw her say:

"This is the last time I'll ask you, and also your last chance to decide. If you leave now, there's still time, but if you've truly made up your mind, then there will be no changing it."
