Overturned Tower

"...Let me tell you, you don't even know my name or where I come from, so you just let me follow you?"

Russell couldn't help but asked: "Then who are you?"

To be honest, Russell couldn't quite understand the lion's logic.

More like a beast than a human being.

He has no scruples at all and acts without any scruples.

But in the face of Russell's questioning, the white lion with a majestic face just grinned and showed a ferocious and bloody "smile".

"Smiling" among humans is precisely to release hostility. It is a sign of joy and kindness.

But when the white lion makes the same move, it looks more like a beast with its mouth open and ready to eat - it only makes people shudder.

"Is there any need to ask?"

The lion chuckled twice, and the roar-like bass shook his heart: "It's totally unnecessary.

"You and I are both mages. We are both outcasts walking in the dream world... You and I are friends, not enemies."

"A friend rather than an enemy?"

"The day you see this blue sky - the moment you walk on this sand and see the Tower of Doom in the distance, you can no longer look back."

The White Lion let out a deep laugh: "They will never allow a mage to exist. Is there anything more trustworthy than an ally that cannot be betrayed?"

"Of course."

Russell replied without fear: "Even if we have the same enemy, the same origin, and are trapped in the same situation, it does not prove that we are walking on the same path, let alone that you will not betray me."

This is Russell's response.

Although it seemed that Russell was at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of spiritual relatives, size, spells and combat experience.

But in fact, this man who looks like a dangerous beast is actually the one who "asks for help."

"——Of course I can prove it."

Unexpectedly, the white lion laughed loudly, and his bold voice spread far in the wasteland: "Because I am 'Strangled'.

"The windbreaker you are wearing is the logo of Tianen Group. Are you from Happy Island too? Then you must know me."

He stretched out his big hand, although it did not turn into an animal claw, but the skin was extremely rough, almost like a callus, and pressed it on Russell's shoulder: "I am the 'Strangler' of the White Lion Group - my name, That’s proof.”

Russell's pupils shrank slightly and he became slightly nervous.

Because he had indeed heard the name.

In the lower city of Happy Island, there is an underground gang composed of young white lions called the White Lion Group.

Its leader is called Strangler... It is said that this name came from the fact that when he was a thug and an underground black boxer, he liked to use jujitsu to hang people to death.

Later, after winning the championship for sixteen consecutive years, "Strangler" hanged his boss and got his freedom - he became the new boss from then on.

Later... that was the establishment of the White Lion Group.

The White Lion Group is a very young organization. It has been less than five years since its establishment. In addition to the boxing ring as its main business, the other main businesses are "mediation" and "execution".

They are responsible for regulating conflicts among underground gangs and executing traitors who defect to the company or cause trouble to the downtown area.

They instituted a "code of silence" that is now followed by nearly the entire Lower Town.

The so-called "Law of Silence" means that company executives and elves must not be attacked so as not to cause trouble for others - but bribery and fraud are allowed because it is an uptown law. Theft that seems to be harmless is not allowed... because if you go to the uptown area to steal, you are likely to steal something fatal, and the brothers will have to pay for it.

At the same time, they will protect Downtown members who are willing to abide by the "Code of Silence" when they get into trouble.

And if you accept their asylum, you cannot reveal any information that is not beneficial to the White Lion Group, otherwise you will be executed. Those who betrayed the White Lion Group and Xiacheng District will also be executed.

They also accept orders to "hunt down traitors". If there is a traitor in other organizations, they can also pay the White Lion Group to hunt them down. Lest there are traitor sympathizers in your organization and you deliberately let them go, or have more people taken away after contact.

Because the White Lion Group's tentacles extend more to Xiacheng District, they act in a low-key manner.

Therefore, it is not like organizations such as "Eternal Reincarnation" and "Veil of Ignorance" that are often targeted by the bad. It can even be said that because the White Lion Group is also fighting against the "Eternal Calamity Reincarnation" and "Veil of Ignorance", the two main chaotic organizations in the lower city, the bad guys will not take the initiative to go to the White Lion Group unless they happen to meet them. trouble.

But it’s different from its cautious — even tolerant — approach to “uptown.”

The White Lion Group's execution methods for those traitors who tried to "take refuge in Shangcheng District" could almost be called cruel.

...Isn't it a bit suicidal to go undercover in such an organization?

Russell even began to think about it, or he could just cut himself into Alice and start exploring the dream world for two weeks.

However, let’s give it a try first.

Because the opportunity is so rare.

If he could get the personal approval of "Strangler", with the protection of the White Lion Group, Russell's new identity would become much safer.

"What about you? What's your name?"

"Bluebird."

Russell responded without hesitation.

This is Blue Song's original code name, and there is no need to hide it - after all, it is not uncommon for people to use "Blue Song" as their code name.

When people are too lazy to think of a code name and are eager to use it, they often directly use their spiritual relatives as the code name.

"It's a fake name."

When he heard that it was obviously the code name of the other party's spiritual species, Strangler sneered, never thinking that this was really the code name of Blue Songbird: "Girls, please change it to another one. You will follow us to kill people in the future.

"When the time comes, if you say, 'Remember, the person who killed you is called Blue Songbird,' the other party may think this is some stupid stage play. Do you want to sing another song for them?"

That’s not impossible.

Russell cursed.

Singing and killing people at the same time does sound quite theatrical.

"Then call me barber."

Russell said casually: "A barber can hold a sharp knife and stand behind others without being alerted. What does this mean?"

"Good name!"

Strangler praised succinctly and clapped his hands vigorously: "This is so true!"

If it hadn't been for the lack of wine, Russell doubted he would have taken a swig.

"Come with me, barber."

Strangler turned around and turned to the right: "Remember, lean forty-five degrees to the right. Our path is the path of anger."

"How do I determine this angle?"

"Don't be sure."

Hangsha replied: "You just need to move in the general direction and wait for the moment you cross the realm..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Russell suddenly felt something unusual.

He took one step forward, and the strangled man leading the way suddenly disappeared.

It was dark around him, and three illusory doors appeared in front of him without warning. Three roads extended from beneath his feet.

The roads on the left and in the middle don't look much different, except that the footprints in the middle are deeper. The road on the right is a series of wet footprints.

The appearance of the three doors was vague...but Russell suddenly understood their essence.

[The way of practice], [The way of anger], [The way of revenge].

Although Russell was also a little curious about where the remaining two roads led, he walked towards the middle without any hesitation.

——The way of anger.

The moment Russell took the first step, the remaining two paths disappeared simultaneously.

The vague door appeared and opened to Russell.

It was a vermilion door frame, and the moment it was opened, blazing flames ignited all around.

A deep, angry voice sounded in Russell's heart.

That is exactly the same sound as "Blue Songbird"——

【——Why am I angry? 】

Upon hearing these words, Russell's progress paused for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

"I'm angry at this unfair world."

He answered without hesitation.

So Russell took the second step.

It was like breaking something, or breaking through some membrane.

The dark and gloomy world is once again dyed with color——

The surrounding air suddenly became hot, and the sky there shone with golden-red sunset light.

The ground is no longer a desert, but has become pitted. There are rugged gravels everywhere, and the land is reddish brown.

There are still many holes in the surrounding ground.

White, sulfur-smelling smoke steamed up from it.

He was standing on the mountainside now.

Russell glanced back subconsciously.

At the end of the mountain range, there is a deep black void... It seems that if you fall, you will die.

He looked back up again.

On the top of the mountain is the familiar Tower of the End. It is like a pillar stuck on the top of the mountain.

The name of this area naturally came to Russell's mind:

"The Raging Volcano..."
