"Why are you so happy?" Seeing him laugh, Ye Yingzhi touched the corner of his lips that he was indulged in, and couldn't help showing a smile.

"I don't know, I'm happy to see you." Chi Yan said, and smiled and kissed the other corner of his mouth.

In this way, the corners of Ye Yingzhi's lips are treated equally and fairly, but he is not biased at all.

"...It will coax people." Ye Yingzhi murmured, but he had to admit that his whole heart was overwhelmed, and he just wanted to rub Chi Yan into his arms and dote on him.

However, there was not much time left for the two of them to play around like this, and soon it was time for the gathering to go to Niabs as notified by Aaron.

Niabs is called the Lost City in Hell, and is known by this nickname. There may be some people in Hell who have not heard of Niabs, but few people do not know the Lost City.

According to legend, human beings with dark souls will fall into hell, never to be reborn, and never to return to the human world. And Niabs is such a dark city that has fallen into hell. It is said that a thousand years ago, Niabs was still in the world, but the whole city was plunged into darkness. People in the city deceived, cheated, abused the weak, and rampaged with violence. The darkness of humanity was everywhere, and no trace of it could be seen. Bright, in the end, the entire city was separated from the human world and fell directly into hell.

The Lost City is a place where demons rarely set foot, and most demons walk around here. Humans who have fallen into hell are called fallen ones. Aaron said that they are more terrible than demons, and even demons may be eaten alive by them.

According to rumors, the only thing the fallen here fear is the great demon Aimer, the ruler of hell. Because His Majesty Aimer passed through Niabs when he just left the abyss of hell and knew nothing about the conditions of hell. The fallen of Niabs set traps to trap him and wanted to cut off his horns and dismantle him. He lost his wings and skinned him, but he suffered a lot at the hands of Emer, and he never dared to do it again. Therefore, when the three monarchs of hell divided the boundaries of the territory, Tesur hurriedly placed this place under the rule of Aimer.

The carriage stopped on an empty street west of Niabs, and Aaron let everyone off the train and told them that the carriage would be waiting for them on the east side of the city and that they had to get to the meeting point before sunset, after the sun had completely set. The carriage will leave here and head towards West Turquoise Blue.

If you want to go back to Devil's Town, there are five things to keep in mind in Nibbs: don't be curious, don't respond, don't eat or take anything from here, don't leave anything on you here, and don't go back.

After explaining these precautions, Aaron closed the door of the carriage and disappeared in the direction of the east of the city at a very fast speed. It seems that as he said, Niabs is indeed a place that even demons do not want to approach.

The place where they got off the bus was a quiet small street, surrounded by snow-white buildings, which looked like small shops. The style is quite southern European, and it looks more like a set in a fairy tale than a lost city that scares even the devil.

After getting off the bus, the people of the Devil Town tour group dispersed and headed east of the city. The experience they had learned in Devil Town for a long time told them that compared to their peers, only themselves were the most trustworthy.

Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan looked at the surrounding environment, and soon fell to the back again.

A shop window caught their eye. Behind the glass, there were dolls of various sizes, some made of clay, some made of cloth, some made of plastic, some in pairs or even in pairs. There are groups of them, and there are also single ones. Their expressions are happy or angry, crazy or angry, and each one is vivid and lifelike.

Chi Yan pointed to a half-human-tall pirate captain under the window, dressed as a copper doll holding a big copper hammer as tall as others, and said to Ye Yingzhi, "This is really interesting."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and jumped in shock, only to see a green-eyed demon standing inside the store, smiling and looking straight at him.

Ye Yingzhi noticed something was wrong, followed Chi Yan's line of sight, frowned slightly, and then comforted her lover: "Don't be afraid, that's a dummy."

Chi Yan took a closer look and found that the demon was indeed the same as the other dolls in the window. It was just a puppet. Because the proportions were the same as the real demon, and it was standing in the shadow of the store, he was mistaken for a real demon. However, although it is a demon doll, the demon is different from the plastic mannequins of the same height that are commonly found in human shops or the real wax figures in wax museums. He is more like a specimen in the natural museum - whether it is red horns or dark dark green The bone wings or the green eyes are the same as the real ones, and there is no trace of fraud.

Judging from the bone wings, there is no doubt that the other party is a superior demon.

Ye Yingzhi remembered what Aaron, the demon guide, said, "This is a place where demons rarely set foot. The fallen are more terrifying than demons. Even demons will be ripped apart by them..." Perhaps, this sentence does not contain No exaggerated ingredients.

He touched his shirt pocket, where he held the remaining golden bean. However, it seemed that even pretending to be a demon in this place would be of no use, and he and Ah Yan had to be more careful.

Thinking of this, Ye Yingzhi took Chi Yan's hand and said softly, "Ayan, let's go, and get back to the car before it gets dark."

Chi Yan nodded and looked away from the demon—

Ye Yingzhi felt that his hand was suddenly clenched by Chi Yan, and even felt a little painful. He looked down and saw that Chi Yan held his hand and the knuckles of his hand were a little white.

Chi Yan didn't say a word, instead he pulled him away from the window quickly, and even trotted a few steps until he walked out of this small commercial street before whispering: "I saw the one that I pointed out to you just now. Pirate Bronze Doll, the first time I looked at him, he was expressionless and his eyes were looking straight ahead, but when I looked again, his eyes were looking at us, and he was smiling. He was looking at us Laughs. Then I noticed that there was rust on that hammer...like blood."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Yingzhi put him in his arms and hugged him, "As long as you keep moving forward, you'll be fine."

The two had walked a short distance before, and gradually caught up with the group of tourists walking in the front, and for the first time saw the "people" in the city - the fallen.

In front of them, a man in a brown robe was stirring a large black iron pot with a diameter of one meter with a half-meter-long wooden spoon. What was cooking in the pot was bubbling and emitting a rich aroma. But disgusting smell. The sturdy man in the row behind them was standing by the edge of the wok, listening to what the brown robe was saying. But he remembered the advice of the demon Aaron. He was just listening, but he never responded, didn't utter any syllables, and didn't make any gestures to express his opinion.

When Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi passed by, they vaguely heard the brown robe say in a hoarse voice: "... people with dark souls will eventually fall into hell, and when they come to Devil Town, even if they step into it with one and a half feet. Hell, if you go back and are unfortunately eaten by demons, there will be no soul left. If you are willing to stay, I will leave you my shop, pot and spoon..."

The two did not dare to stop any longer and kept walking along the road. On both sides of the road, there were many people who were wrapped in brown robes and stood guard at the door, cooking things with wooden spoons and iron pots, trying to recruit them, but none of them did. Just ignore it, just hold hands and move forward blindly.

After walking a distance, there was the sound of running behind them, and I saw the sturdy man chasing after them, walking side by side beside the two and whispering: "I almost figured out what's going on here. Not all the people here are from the beginning. The aborigines of Niabs City, who fell to hell, and many people who fell to hell later or before, are now the gathering place of the fallen. As in the legend, those who fell to hell will never be reborn, and have been Trapped where he fell, repeating the sins of their lives, the Fallen of Niabs cannot get out of the confines of the street where they are."

"And there are only two ways to leave, one is to kill demons, killing a thousand ordinary demons or ten high-level demons will be repelled by hell and leave hell; the other is to have living people who come to hell In their place, let's say us, according to Aaron's advice, if we promise them to stay, take their stuff, or leave our stuff to them, we're here to do what they did in their place, And they can return to the carriage as us, return to Devil Town and wait for an opportunity to return to the world. So be sure to remember Aaron's five-point advice."

Chi Yan nodded and said, "Thank you." He admired that the other party could get so much information from the brown-robed man without any response, and thanked the other party for being willing to share this precious information with them.

The man smiled graciously: "No, it's me who should thank you, otherwise I might have died in the theater yesterday." He was referring to Ye Yingzhi taking the lucky note instead of him and sitting on the first floor.

Chi Yan smiled and said nothing. He grew up in an orphanage and rarely had contact with outsiders when he was a child, so he was more introverted and shy, and he was not good at dealing with people. Only when he faced Ye Yingzhi would he show a lively and naughty side. Ye Yingzhi did not speak, and only smiled politely.

At this time, the man suddenly stopped, took out two bottles of stamina potions from his backpack and handed them to the two of them: "I brought them out from Devil Town. It seems that I may not be able to use so much. Less, may need this."

Chi Yan didn't answer and looked up at Ye Yingzhi. Ye Yingzhi looked at the man, didn't answer, didn't say anything, just turned his head and dragged Chi Yan a few steps forward in silence - another five or six meters, and they left the street.

The man followed two steps, then stopped again. He looked up at the two of them and greeted with a smile: "You're welcome, come and get it, I really can't use so much. After all, you saved my life."
