DE780 soon approached the island in the dark, gradually slowed down, and docked at the port.
The blind old man walked in and gestured to everyone to leave.
Ye Yingzhi sat there for the last time, silently observing the passengers who filed out, pulling Chi Yan away when there were only a dozen or so people left in the boat. Before leaving, he deliberately glanced inside the cab - there was no one there.
From beginning to end, the only person in charge of the ship was the blind dumb old man.
Ye Yingzhi roughly calculated that there were about 200 passengers from different places on the whole ship, but when he and Chi Yan walked to the island, many of the people who had been on the island before had completely disappeared.
After seeing them disembark, a man in a slim-fitting tuxedo with curly hair smiled and greeted them, and gathered the twenty or so people who finally disembarked beside him. The man had clown-like makeup on his face, exaggerated and bright red lips, and equally thick and striking blue-purple on his eyes, while the rest of his face was as pale as a wall. When he laughed, his whole face showed a strange grimness.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Devil's Town, where just join the devil's spree for a chance to exchange for all kinds of grand prize coveted items..." he said in an equally exaggerated but extraordinarily low alluring tone Speaking slowly, most of the news was consistent with what Ye Yingzhi heard from Hu Tu. It's just that the man in front of him repeatedly emphasized the exciting and interesting words such as "carnival" and "game", but he did not mention the potential danger at all - he did not say that after the game failed, they might become the rations of the demons and be eaten by the demons; he It didn't say that people here may be more dangerous than demons. There are not only all kinds of liars and robbers, but also murderer madmen who directly kill people.
From this point of view, Ye Yingzhi believed Hu Tu's words more.
But from the man's words, Ye Yingzhi also learned some rules that Hutu did not explain clearly: Demons cannot arbitrarily grab people from the street to eat, they can only hunt and kill humans in various games, and they must also abide by the rules of the game . This is understandable, after all, all games must obey the rules to be fun to play, and even the devil will not want other similar ones to break the rules arbitrarily.
But that doesn't mean they'll be safe as long as they don't get involved in these demonic orgies and games. First of all, it is possible to win various points only by participating in the game. If they don’t participate in the game and have no points, then they will come here in vain, and they will never be able to collect the points for Chi Yan’s life extension and the points for the outlying islands, and they will never be able to leave here again. Secondly, it is not only the demons that need to be guarded, but also the same kind of human beings. The blood-stained souls who have killed people are more likely to attract the attention of the demons, so even if they are not bound by law and morality, there are not too many murders. However, Compared with normal human society, the probability of encountering vicious events in this demon town is still much higher.
The man with the clown makeup started showing them the items available in the town's devil shop
"… With 10,000 points, you can buy 15 million dollars, but if you want me to say, this is the most inappropriate thing in the store." Hearing the exclamations of the audience, the clown grinned to both sides, revealing a demon With a smile like, "I advise you not to waste your money here."
"With the same 10,000 points, we can make you gain the sincere respect and support of 100,000 people, or the unswerving love of a person; and as long as 50,000 points, you can gain the heart of your sweetheart." The man revealed a With a dramatic intoxicated expression, he lowered his voice and continued, "For fifty thousand points, you can also exchange for the chance to leave the island."
"And 100,000 points can buy a year of life."
Hearing this sentence, Ye Yingzhi's pupils suddenly tightened.
Life can indeed be bought here.
But 100,000 points can only change one year of life. Hu Tu did everything he could to survive on the island for a year, but only accumulated 30,000 points. It is conceivable that it is not easy to get these 100,000 points. And it is impossible for him to take Ah Yan on this island for a lifetime. In fact, staying in such a place for a year is already a big challenge. Ah Yan is not yet 30 years old this year, even if it is calculated according to the normal life expectancy of human beings , which also means that he has to earn more than 5 million points in a year or so.
"If you want to get more points, you must actively participate in our games and carnivals." The clown grinned again, and like magic, he took out more than 20 pieces of black leather electronics from the outer pocket of his slim tuxedo. Table, "In order to thank you for coming and help you adapt to life in the town, we specially prepared a welcome gift for each new guest, but you have different souls and different levels of gifts - put on this piece Watch, everyone can find their own gift - your initial points. Points obtained from the game will also be credited to the watch, and you can also pass your own points to others through the watch."
Ye Yingzhi took two watches from the clown and put them on for himself and Chi Yan respectively. The moment he buckled the strap, a line of numbers "+20000" flashed on his dial, but Chi Yan's dial showed zero.
"You must have a very strong obsession, and the darkest soul that is rare among human beings to receive such a great gift." I don't know when, the clown in a tuxedo silently appeared behind Ye Yingzhi, singing with a song General tone softly.
Ye Yingzhi didn't speak, he turned to Chi Yan again, and explained, "Only the invitees can receive the gift, and the friends you bring won't receive the gift."
Chi Yan nodded and thanked him softly.
The clown chuckled lightly, squinted at him for a while, and said with a smile: "If you are ready, the two of you can enter the town now, the entrance is over there."
He pointed out the direction for the two of them, withdrew his hand and put it on his chest, bowed deeply, and said in a classical and elegant tone: "I wish you two have a good time."
After a while, the clown straightened up, looked at the backs of the two leaving, and smiled again.
It's really rare. Such a clean soul attracts demons so much. If it was in the past, such a human would probably have been sent directly to the adults in hell to enjoy; and that human... tsk, it is comparable to a demon. Yes, dark soul, powerful obsession. However, these two are a couple.
This game will probably be great.
As the clown and Hutu described before, the island is really like a theme town for people's leisure and entertainment. On both sides of the road are all kinds of odd-shaped houses, which look like shops.
But the clown once said that entering the house is equivalent to participating in the game played in the house. Only the demon shops and demon hotels operated by the town official with green signs can enter casually. Therefore, Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan did not stop all the way, but went directly to the central square of the town.
There is a small fountain in the center of the square, in which there is a stone statue of an angel standing with its head raised. It's like being bound by chains and fixed here, with nowhere to escape. A stone tablet was erected where the angel was facing, with the words "This is a real angel".
Seeing everything in front of him, Chi Yan shivered for no apparent reason, and pulled La Ye Yingzhi's sleeve to signal him to leave. The fountain made him feel uncomfortable at heart.
On the west side of the fountain, there is a demon store with a green sign. The window glass of the store is black, making it difficult to see the inside of the store. The two doors of the store are also painted green, but they have dark golden door handles. Above the doors is a human skull. When the door is opened, the skull will make a clear and pleasant bell, like a string of delicate wind chimes. .
Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan walked into the store. The store was empty, save for an old-fashioned glass counter, and nothing else.
Hearing the bell ring, a figure came out from the back of the store. She has two dark red curved horns on her head, and a small black tail like a cat that curves upwards on her hips. She wears a dark green short-sleeved shirt and short skirt, which looks like that of a clerk. work clothes. After seeing the two of them, the clerk leaned in front of the counter and looked at them charmingly: "What do you want today?"
When she spoke, two pointed canine teeth appeared under her pink lips.
Ye Ying subconsciously and a little warily hid Chi Yan behind him: "I heard that you can buy life here."
"That's right." The clerk raised her tail, "One hundred thousand points a year, do you need it now?"
"I want to buy one-tenth first, can I?" Ye Yingzhi lowered his head slightly, his black eyes staring at the other party.
The clerk actually felt a rare and instinctive sense of oppression.
She pouted her lower lip, took out a calculator from the empty transparent glass counter, stretched out her long fingers with golden nail polish and tapped on it: "Well, three hundred and sixty a year. Five days, one-tenth is thirty-six and a half days; one-tenth of one hundred thousand is ten thousand. Ten thousand points buy thirty-six and a half days of life... Yes, the deal."
Saying this, she took out a black diamond-shaped vial from the counter again and placed it on the counter: "To be honest, this thing is quite unsalable. It has been ten years since no one has bought a life. This is how you humans are, living At times, I feel that life is the least worth mentioning thing.”
Ye Yingzhi didn't talk to him, he stepped forward to take the vial, and while he took the vial in his hand, the electronic watch flashed a "-10000" prompt. Ye Yingzhi didn't hesitate and handed the vial to Chi Yan, but when he let go, he hesitated for a while, and lowered his voice: "... Ah Yan, give it a try first."
