The Devil’s Cage Chapter 1: Abandoned street
Three hours later, Kieran and Lawless met again at the station outside Harvest Inn.
"Are you ready?"
Lawless asked, with a tone of apology in his voice.
"Of course!"
"However, if you can throw away the one that seems to owe me a million dollars, I think I will be more prepared!"
Kieran said with a smile.
He hopes to dispel Lawless's guilt in such words.
He knows what Lawless thinks, it is nothing more than: his own affairs, but drags his friends in, he must take great risks together.
This kind of thing is really uncomfortable and unwilling for Lawless.
But if you let Lawless take the risk alone, Kieran will be uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it.
Kieran knows what to do.
I also knew that it would put him in danger.
However, the help of Lawless in the past has doomed him to stand idly by.
Not to mention...
Shouldn’t friends appear at this time?
"You know..."
"Okay, I shut up!"
Lawless still wanted to say something, but when he saw the **** of Kieran, he immediately shrugged bitterly.
However, Lawless did not shut up as he said.
Instead, he took out two cigars, lit them with a fuel lighter, and ignited them in the roughest way, and threw them to Kieran.
"Come on one?"
"Although it saves a lot of work, it tastes great!"
"Can I refuse?"
Kieran looked at the lit cigar in his hand.
Smelling the mellow smoke with a hint of spirits, he is sure that it is still too early for him to try this cigar.
"Of course not!"
"Try it, you will like it!"
Lawless is very sure and speaks in an emphasized tone.
Kieran frowned, carefully placed the cigar to his mouth, and took a light breath.
Suddenly, a strong and irritating smell poured into his mouth.
Kieran coughed uncontrollably.
Even, tears came out.
"How is it?"
"Does it taste great?"
Lawless slapped the back of Kieran hard, trying to make Kieran feel better, but the words in his mouth made Kieran roll his eyes.
If it is not to make the guy in front of him feel better, how could he try this Rank cigar.
However, the smell of the cigar...
Seems pretty good?
When the cough subsided, Kieran could feel a different kind of feeling emerge from his body.
It's not a smell, nor a smog.
It’s a freshness from an unknown attempt.
Under such a sense of freshness, Kieran learned the appearance of Lawless and held the cigar in his mouth.
"Congratulations, it's done. Human gift!"
Lawless grabbed Kieran's shoulder and said with a smile.
In the next few minutes, the two were completely chatting.
Until, a message was sent from ‘Broker’.
"Old Stray Street?"
"What tricks does this guy paint?"
Lawless looked at the message from ‘Broker’ and immediately frowned, then explained the so-called Old Stray Street for Kieran.
Old Stray Street, originally called Stray Street.
It was originally a very prosperous street.
Many Players are born there.
At the most prosperous time, there are all shops on the street from food, drinks, weapons and equipment to enchanting and magic medicine.
It can be said that usually all veteran player is concentrated.
Until...
A new veteran player accidentally caused ‘Witch’.
Next, the entire street was destroyed, and the Player people with it were naturally not spared.
Except for Player who was lucky to stay in his room, 20 Player died directly, and more people were affected.
Something like this happened, Strei Street, which was regarded as unknown, naturally withdrew from people's vision.
A new street appeared, replacing it.
The original Stray Street was changed to the old Stray Street by the Player.
And the new street?
It's called: Lawns Street.
It’s where ‘Broker’ really made a fortune.
"The old is gone, the new is born, it just happened to fall into the hands of "Broker"?"
After listening to the explanation, Kieran raised an eyebrow.
The coincidence inside, no matter what he thinks, feels a conspiracy.
"Is it a ghost of "Broker"?"
"Everyone thinks so!"
"If it’s not ‘Witch’, he will definitely be regarded as the ultimate behind-the-scenes planner! The hands-on person is ‘Witch’...”
"Who can command that person?"
"In addition, it was indeed the new and ignorant guy who caused'Witch' at the time, so what happened at Old Stray Street was considered an accident-and as time passed, everyone Except for growing fear of Witch, nothing has changed!"
Talking Lawless shrugged again.
"Let’s go?"
he asked.
"Uh."
Kieran nodded.
Although heart still feels wrong, Kieran knows what it should do now.
......
According to the message from Broker, they came to a broken street on the edge of Giant City.
If it wasn’t Lawless who informed Kieran in advance, it used to be a bustling street, and he couldn’t connect the rotten, smelly street and bustling words in front of him.
Kieran carefully avoided the sewage under his feet.
"It should obviously be rebuilt here. Why did it stop working halfway through the construction?"
Kieran looked at those bad-tailed buildings and asked puzzled.
"Because of the loss of Player!"
"The person who designed the Giant City builder program is a very practical guy, everything will be as usual with Player, if Player leaves, it will fall into a barrenness, and after that incident, no more Player would Continue to Old Stray Street, lack of sufficient purchasing power, want to stay in the old Stray Street Player, can not stick to it, and moved away one after another."
"So, the whole street has become what it is!"
Lawless's tone is full of sighs.
"It turns out so!"
Learning more about the Underground Game rules, Kieran nodded~IndoMTL.com~The two chose a place with less sewage, located in the upper wind, which can avoid the stench as much as possible, quietly waiting for the next step of Broker News.
But waiting this time, it seemed a bit long.
A little more than ten minutes.
Kieran and Lawless glanced at each other.
Two people who are already alert to ‘Broker’, heart feels something is wrong at the same time.
Therefore, when a sound of footsteps sounded, both of them entered the fighting state.
ps first even more~
Hot...
It's so hot... (to be continued.)
