Gun Kai

Chapter 230 The Past, Part Two

Li Cheng颐 felt a tremor in his body, countless pricking pains surfacing on his skin, as if being pierced by a large number of needle points.

His heart began to beat violently, accelerating. A large amount of blood, like the air from an exploding balloon, sprayed and scattered in all directions along the blood vessels.

Boom!!

His right foot stomped on the ground, and the heavy sword in his hand slashed forward.

Crack—a bolt of green lightning flew out, but strangely, the lightning passed straight through the woman, having no effect.

Radiance Flash!

At the same time, a ball of golden light exploded.

Heat, purification, and explosive impact detonated simultaneously.

But terrifyingly, the screaming was still there, still continuing.

It continued as if unaffected.

The golden light dissipated, and the woman's figure distorted for a moment like agitated ripples, then returned to normal again.

Was it because she was about to be completely free? Or... for some other reason, was she deliberately posing in that position?

With such a weak physique, in just a few seconds within that howling sound, the capillaries all over his body had burst and bled.

Little Cat 颐 followed closely behind.

In other words, if it were a normal person, from the moment they heard the sound, they would be doomed to die.

It seemed to be waiting for him to tie the bag to its tail. There was also a sentence on the map.

It’s even higher than what I encountered before....’ Little Cat 颐’s heart tightened.

Suddenly he thought of something.

He carefully examined the dried corpse again.

Regardless of how terrifying the blind spot was, how dangerous, how despairing.

But on its hand, it wore a gold ring, a one-eyed snake ring.

Considering that the eight letters seen so far were written by this person, then.... what content did they mention that I should pay attention to?’

If I didn’t have the Evil Flower, perhaps the final outcome would be the same as the person before my eyes.

Empty.

Little Cat 颐 walked closer, glancing at the sofa along the way.

Such attire clearly didn't belong to a wealthy person.

Little Cat 颐 looked at it. This fellow had run out long ago, squatting on the roadside watching him, occasionally lowering its head to lick its front paws.

The corpse was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and trousers, just like a typical assembly line worker.

Guan Zhi颐’s eyes lit up, and he reached out to pry out the paper ball.

Below was a simple drawing.

The cat slowed down, then made a turn and drilled into the iron gate of a hall of unknown purpose on the right.

Li Cheng颐 felt the stinging pain all over his body becoming more and more obvious. He immediately grabbed the bag containing the letter paper, and with a sidestep, he leaped forward.

He retracted his gaze and began to observe the hall through the faint light outside.

Little Cat 颐 looked up at the window he had just jumped down from; there was no movement there.

Suddenly raised his head. It was a dried corpse. The striped cat came again.

He raised his hand, and a large patch of purplish-red blood spots unexpectedly appeared on the back of his hand at some point.

The largest were even the size of mung beans.

He put everything back into the bag, tucked it into his inner pocket, and secured it.

Otherwise, there’s no way to explain why so many colorful hair ties would be placed in a place storing such important letter paper.

"According to the cycle, we need to wait in the streets for a few hours. The switching of internal and external cycles is getting faster and faster, and my neurosis is acting up again. Perhaps dying here like this can be considered our final resting place..."

*Pa ta.*

Carefully unfolded the paper ball. On it was a rather simple map.

The city was divided into eight districts, each of which was divided into many numbered buildings.

Meow~

The ground was covered in pools of dark stains, it was unknown whether it was spilled juice or something else that had dried up.

Suddenly, he paused. "Huh?"

There were U-shaped sofas and low tables, clearly a temporary rest area.

"Sorry." He reached out to pry open the fist. The corpse's fingers immediately snapped off like branches. Meow~

Ultimately, there would be elites like the dried corpse before him, who unhesitatingly advanced, one after another, towards the ultimate fate of completely breaking free from the blind spot.

Little Cat 颐 silently put the map away and placed it in the bag.

"So… Building No. 2. There are eight districts in total, eight places?"

One person and one cat walked quickly along one side of the street.

The end of the handwriting had a faint red tint, perhaps the words themselves were written in blood.

Little Cat 颐 immediately pressed the translator against it.

He noticed that at the eight points on the map, there were also additional red dots marked.

Could it be... they used this cat to send letters to each other?’

It was a very relaxed posture.

What the hell is that thing!?' Li Cheng颐 looked at the empty streets around him and let out a heavy breath.

The translator was intact, and not a single letter was missing; this was simply bizarre.

A strange idea flashed in his mind.

***Simply found a clothing store by the street, went in, sat down on the ground, and continued to unfold the letter and read it.

Immediately, Little Cat 颐 squatted down, took out the bag again, then took a hair tie and tied the bag opening tightly, and then shook it at the cat.

Little Cat 颐 was somewhat sentimental.

"You're quite clever, you little rascal."

He continued to rummage through the corpse’s clothes pockets, but unfortunately, there was nothing.

"The Armor Ooze Monster's sword is mainly aimed at inanimate objects... This howling sound is only aimed at living things... This place... really is..." Little Cat 颐 understood somewhat.

Little Cat 颐 followed, directly without slowing down, his whole body covered in Flower Scale Armor, and crashed head-on into the closed and locked iron gate.

Hu…

It was clear that the rules of the blind spot were beginning to manifest; after killing a blind spot monster once, the next monster would definitely be stronger.

The map depicted a circular city.

The striped cat made another sound, awkwardly walking towards the door.

As if what he had just heard and seen were just illusions.

In the photo, there was a sweet smile and bright eyes on a baby’s face.

Little Cat 颐 looked back outside.

Clearly, the woman's howling sound was likely only effective against living things.

This time, Little Cat 颐 carefully examined it and indeed discovered some clues.

On the sofa, there was a pale, skinny human figure sitting.

People from an organization?’

"I found… the location of the door… it needs a key to open… unfortunately… leader… take my share and live on."

Meow~

The howling disappeared, and the woman’s figure didn’t come out either.

Little Cat 颐 stared at the dried corpse. About two minutes later.

Then, it actually slowly approached step by step, walked in front of Little Cat 颐, then turned around, tail tilted.

He quickly associated it with the hair ties and small bag inside…

At that moment, the two people’s gazes seemed to overlap across time.

His gaze followed the corpse’s eyes, together looking at the ceiling of the hall.

On the ring was engraved a coiled one-eyed snake. The cat lightly crawled in and disappeared into the darkness.

It was raising its tail, constantly rubbing against a corner of the sofa.

Since he had already reached the final dying moment, why was he still able to pose in such a relaxed manner?

Guan Zhi颐 tied the empty bag to the place where the circle mark was.

This gave Little Cat 颐 a sense of incongruity.

That howling was extremely powerful; one must know that he had already undergone the transformation of the inferior Shadow Dragon bloodline, and his body strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Everything was quiet.

Below, a line of White Star language was written, very thin and small, and Guan Zhi颐 couldn’t understand it.

This was his only feeling.

This time, the cat didn't pause, but instead moved with light steps and great speed.

Suddenly, he noticed that the corpse’s other hand was tightly clenched into a fist.

According to his estimation, his physique was at least eight to ten times the limit of a pure-blood modified human.

He noticed the corpse’s sitting posture, his demeanor.

The iron gate collapsed, and Guan Zhi颐 followed the cat to the anti-theft door with redwood grain on the inside of the hall.

The map's drawing was quite rough, barely able to make out the outline and meaning.

A total of eight letters. Plus a one-eyed snake ring, this was Little Cat 颐’s new harvest.

Wu~~ The cat was indeed stunned.

Some of the blood spots had already merged into one, turning into small wounds similar to ulcers.

Meow~ Boom.

"By the way, I found a strange device here, on the roof of Building No. 7. It only lasted for a few minutes before disappearing. I believe it is related to what we are looking for."

Unfolding the eighth letter, he pressed the translator on it again. The sound rang out.

The entire hall had elevators going up to the seventh floor on both sides, and in the middle was a very large cylindrical display stand. It seemed to be used to display certain precious items, and the surrounding area was also covered with a layer of reinforced glass for protection.

There was no new content below. Little Cat 颐 went to flip through the small bag again and found that there was nothing else inside. What remained were some colorful hair ties and a slightly oxidized gold ring.

Closing the pocket watch, he noticed that the corpse’s left thumb also had a one-eyed snake coiled gold ring.

Lowering his head, he untied the bag from the cat’s tail. He thought for a while and put both the ring and the pocket watch inside.

Guan Zhi颐, using the little bit of green light from the translator, searched around and found that the cat had already reached a corner on the front left.

These two types of monsters were likely protective measures specifically targeting two types of Dark City entrants.

Boom.

Outside the iron gate of the hall, white, tall figures appeared out of thin air; these were Armor Ooze Monsters up to eight meters tall!

Little Cat 颐 looked left and right, making sure there was no activity, before following into the anti-theft door.

Revealing a gray paper ball tightly clutched inside.

He crashed through the glass from the second-floor window, landing on the street outside.

Little Cat 颐 walked over and quickly inspected it. From the dried corpse's clothes pocket, he found another item.

Isna, that should be the name of the recipient, it is unknown if this person is still alive.

.....The door and the key... suddenly a flash of lightning ran through Little Cat 颐’s mind.

On the cat’s tail, there was a subtle circular mark, where the fur was shorter and lighter than the surrounding area. Just right.

It was estimated to be either a safe area, or the location where they themselves were.

The display stand was about seven or eight meters in diameter, indicating that the item on display needed to be large.

The anti-theft door was half-open, the inside was pitch black, silent.

Meow~

The cat began to constantly rub against the corpse's trouser legs. Clearly, it didn't know the other party was already dead.

The light boots of the Flower Scale Armor landed on the stone ground, making a crisp sound.

The striped cat's voice sounded from the side. It was a pocket watch.

She was still standing at the door, still howling.

It was an octagonal frame, with a stone pillar standing in the middle, and on the stone pillar was placed an irregular stone-like object, which had been painted white.

The dark golden watch pressed a button, popping open the lid, revealing a portrait photo inside.

Suddenly, the piercing alarm sounded again outside!

The dried corpse had been dead for an unknown amount of time, it was looking up, its sunken eye sockets gazing at the ceiling above, its hands spread out, placed on top of the sofa.

"Ooze Giant, White Armor Giant, White Armor Man, Giant-Eyed King, and the octagonal frame on the roof of Building No. 7..."

Guan Zhi颐 had already recalled it.

"So, where exactly is the location of the door? Is it the red dot on the map, or... the place I didn't mark?'
