I Have A City In An Alternate World



When the emaciated lady spoke, she placed a large hardwood plate on the table. Then, she looked at Tang Zhen with an expectant gaze.

Although Tang Zhen had given her two pieces of dried meat before she entered the house, that little bit of food was not enough to fill her stomach.

It had been a long time since she had eaten her fill, and the feeling of hunger was present all the time. Therefore, when facing a large plate of food, she had an uncontrollable desire in her heart.

However, the emaciated woman clearly knew that everything in this room belonged to Tang Zhen. Without his permission, she was not qualified to enjoy it.

since there's food, let's not waste it. Come and sit down.

Tang Zhen laughed softly when he saw the anticipation in the other party's eyes. He beckoned the thin and weak woman and the dwarf to gather around the dining table.

When they were sitting there earlier, they had only felt an indescribable fear and tension in their hearts, but now their expressions had become very relaxed.

Obtaining the key to the house meant absolute safety. In the city of despair, this was the rarest form of security.

Tang Zhen had just arrived here and did not have much experience in this aspect. However, when he saw the expression of the thin and weak woman, he knew that this kind of happiness was clearly not easy to obtain.

All three gazes were now on the food.

Compared to the emaciated woman's desire for good food, the dwarf needed food to supplement his nutrition and speed up his recovery because of his serious injuries.

His hunger was only a little more than the emaciated woman's.

"Distribute the food and fill your stomachs," Tang Zhen said to the two of them."I have some things I need to understand from you."

After obtaining Tang Zhen's permission, the emaciated woman immediately divided the food into three portions. Tang Zhen got more than half of it.

She placed more than half of the remaining half in front of the dwarf, and the rest was piled on her plate.

Tang Zhen smiled when he saw this. He pushed his portion in front of the thin woman and indicated that he temporarily did not have any appetite.

The emaciated woman thanked him repeatedly. Then, she picked up a piece of black flatbread and buried her head in it.

Seeing this, the dwarf sitting across from him couldn't care about anything else. He grabbed a ball-shaped thing and opened his mouth to gnaw.

Tang Zhen took a glance and discovered that the inside of the pig's stomach-like thing was filled with grass and large black beetle-like things.

As the dwarf chewed, a crisp "ka ka" sound was constantly emitted from his mouth, and juice was constantly flowing out of his mouth.

In the entire room, only the sound of the dwarf eating could be heard.

The midget revealed an embarrassed smile when he noticed Tang Zhen looking at him. At the same time, he used his sleeve to wipe the juice from the corner of his mouth.

I'm sorry, Sir. I'm going crazy from hunger. I can't control myself.

Tang Zhen expressed that it was fine. He casually placed the certificate and the house key on the table and seriously looked at them.

These two items both had a familiar power, but he couldn't tell where it came from.

It was this power that allowed him to find the hiding spot of the voucher and see through the strange darkness in the corridor.

He had a similar power in his body and in his mind. He might have borrowed this power when he made the saber and the crossbow.

However, if one were to look closely, the two powers were different.

The energy on the certificate gave off a lifeless feeling, but the energy in his body was full of vitality.

Although they had different attributes, there was no doubt that these powers all had magical effects.

Understanding one's own advantages and making good use of them would allow one to better protect themselves in desperate situations, and also obtain more benefits.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the emaciated woman and the dwarf had finished their food, and their faces were full of satisfaction.

After which, the two of them looked at Tang Zhen at the same time. After all, he had previously mentioned that he still had some questions to ask.

In fact, the two of them had already faintly guessed what Tang Zhen intended to ask. At the same time, they were also thinking about how to answer.

The two of them were extremely curious about Tang Zhen, this newcomer who had just arrived but was so strong that he was in a mess.

If it wasn't for the fierce dragon crossing the river, there would probably be a storm in this Street.

Tang Zhen looked at the two of them and softly said,"Since you've already finished eating, then answer my question.

First of all, tell me about the origin of the city of despair, what secret legends are there, and why would the deserters appear here?

The second thing was how many vouchers were needed to move to the next block. Were the residents in every house the same as the one in front of him?

The third thing was the information about the next block.

No matter how much you know, tell me everything. Don't hide anything."

The thin and weak woman was unable to answer the three questions raised by Tang Zhen in detail. This was because these questions were also what she wanted to know.

Therefore, after Tang Zhen raised his question, the thin woman looked at the dwarf. It seemed that only he could answer these questions.

Seeing Tang Zhen and the emaciated lady looking at him, the dwarf seriously thought for a moment before replying,"No one can clearly explain the origin of the city of despair, but there are some rumors.

Some people said that this was an ancient God Kingdom, and all the residents in the city were actually the subjects of that ancient God.

For some reason, the ancient God had fallen, and the city had been completely abandoned.

However, due to the influence of the remnant power, the city was still operating. Many strange things were also affected by the remnant power.

From time to time, the strange residents who would appear in the houses and wait for them were actually formed from the remnant thoughts of the original residents of the God Kingdom. They could be considered half the owner of this place.

They were the Guardians of this place, and they could use the magical power of the house to kill the intruders.

However, if the intruders were lucky and met the conditions set by the owner of the house, they would be able to receive the corresponding reward.

After obtaining the right to use the house, not only would they be free from the night patrollers 'harassment, but they could also temporarily possess the owner's original items.

If you can find some clues in these items, you can even obtain more benefits from them and make yourself stronger."

The dwarf paused for a moment. Because his tongue had just been connected, he seemed to have a hard time talking.

He also did not want Tang Zhen to wait for a long time. Therefore, he rested for a while before continuing.

"As for the origin of the deserter, no one can say clearly. No matter who comes here, they will lose their original memories and not know where they came from.

However, there were also people who speculated that all the despaired people who entered this place were likely to be the believers of this ancient God.

The ancient God's avatars were scattered across many planes, transforming into different indigenous gods. Any avatar that believed in him had a chance to enter the city of despair."

When Tang Zhen heard this, his brows slightly furrowed as he asked the dwarf, where did this theory come from? and what is the basis for such an inference? "

it's said that the news came from a higher street, " the dwarf replied. the deserters there are more powerful and have more access to secrets. As for whether it's true or not, no one can be sure.

After answering Tang Zhen's first question, the midget thought for a moment before answering the second question.

"If you want to go to the more advanced streets, you need 100 certificates. Then you can go along the main street until you reach the giant building at the end that looks like a city gate.

Only by handing over enough certificates and passing through the giant city gate could one go to the higher-class streets.

The residents here were not all the same. After entering each house, the things they encountered were different.

The most important point was that if one only obtained the proof to leave, the things that they had experienced would become very vague, and they would not be able to provide reference and help to others.

I don't know much about the high-class blocks, but I know that there are six blocks similar to the one we're in.

These six streets extended in all directions like rays of light. There was a city gate at a fixed distance from each other on the streets, leading to the most central and mysterious area.

It's said that as long as you reach there, you'll be able to obtain a way to leave the city of despair. However, this is only a legend. As for whether it's true or not, no one can verify it. "
