The box was very quiet, only the sound of Zero drinking beer could be heard. Richard had a rare expression of silence, staring closely at Zero with a pair of dead fish eyes, as if he wanted to see something from him. Zero let him look, as if he didn't pay attention to his gaze.
After a while, Richard tapped his fingers on the table and said, "It's really hard to see your depth, but this is not enough."
"Do you still want to fight again?" Zero said with a headache.
Richard showed a rough smile and said, "I really think about it, but I'm afraid of attracting military interference. So I can only think about it."
He licked his lips and said, "It's fine to fight, but at least you have to show us your strength, right? Show that strength enough to prove your identity!"
Zero shook his head resolutely and said: "I don't believe it, if I release all my energy, I will attract unnecessary attention. Now is not the time to be exposed."
"I didn't say it here." Richard looked at Gordon and said, "Old man, ask your son to help. I know, he will find a way."
Gordon snorted, but stood up and walked towards the door: "Wait for my news."
"Who is his son?"
After Gordon left, Zero asked.
Richard bit open the cork of a bottle of beer with his teeth, picked it up and took a sip into his mouth. He drank so much that he breathed out a mouthful of wine and said, "His son is Black Wing. His Silent Discipline Corps and I, as well as Wallace's loyal military dog, divide up the night of this city. At the same time, That kid Black Wing is the perception-type user I hate the most, so I know he will have a way to cover up your energy aura."
After leaving the Prancing Horse Bar, Gordon walked on the streets of the free zone with ease. Soon, he has come to the edge of Area A.
The free zone may seem complicated, but in fact it has its own boundaries. In the three fringes of this area, there are three areas A, B, and C. These three areas are all restricted areas in the free zone. The night in Sin City is divided between the forces that occupy these three restricted areas.
They are Richard's Bloody Blade, Wallace's Ruby Club, and Blackwing's Silent Discipline.
Area A is where Black Wing's base camp is located. When you set foot in this area, you have already missed the hustle and bustle. The terrain here is open, and a street paved with gray stones winds down to the depths of Area A. There are some strange trees with twisted branches and leaves on both sides of the street. They are ghostly, making this area look very gloomy at night. Behind these strange trees, occasionally there will be a little fire.
The location of the fire is an ordinary house, and the members of the commandment group live like ascetics every day. They believe that being pure themselves will allow them to be redeemed, and Black Wing is their ultimate belief. All sins will be forgiven when black wings cover the entire city of sin. Therefore, the Silent Discipline Group is always committed to promoting their ideas, but the residents of Sin City don't buy them.
The location of Black Wing is located at the end of this gray and white long road, which is called the Black Silence Temple.
The Black Temple is a very distorted building, its appearance is like an abstracted church. The overall image is slanted and curved, giving people a sense of oppression and silent pain. This sanctuary was the work of Blackwing, who himself designed and oversaw the turning. After the Black Silence Church was built, he lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public. Even his father, Gordon, rarely saw his son.
When Gordon saw the dark, twisted and painful building at the end of the long road from a distance, the old man sighed slightly. Only he understands that the Black Silence Temple is actually a psychological reflection of Heiyi himself, which represents the pain and shame of Heiyi's life.
Not many people know who Black Wing is, they only know that Black Wing already existed when there was Sin City. Back then, there wasn't even Richard the Crazy, or Wallace the Dog.
As Black Wing's father, Gordon certainly understood.
Black Wing, actually... .
"The first head of the Holy Seal Knights?"
In the bar, when hearing the identity of Black Wing from Richard's mouth, Zero was inexplicably shocked. For a long time, he thought that Sauron, the head of the Holy Seal Knights, was the first head, but he didn't expect that Sauron was the second head
"Well, it's a bit hard to believe. But this is the city of sin, so it's not unusual. But, why did the head of the Knights become a criminal?" Zero frowned.
"Because Sauron is on the side of justice." Richard sneered, and said, "That's a story I heard from old man Gordon, anyway, there's nothing wrong now, so let me tell you. "
Fifteen years ago, at that time, the head of the Holy Seal Knights was Black Wing, not Sauron, who was just an adjutant. But Sauron was already ambitious when he was young, and when one day he found that his power had surpassed Black Wing, he resolutely launched a rebellion. Sauron was the first to deal with Black Wing. Black Wing was an ability user in the Perception Domain. This type of ability user is not good at combat power. He was attacked by Sauron despicably again, and Black Wing almost lost his life.
At that time, he was stabbed through the throat by Sauron, but miraculously survived. So Sauron spared his life, and after seizing the power, marked the black wing with the symbol of a criminal and threw it into the unfinished Thebes prison at that time. In this way, Black Wing became the first prisoner in Thebes Prison.
Sauron didn't kill him, he tortured him. Let him see how everything he guarded fell into Sauron's hands, and more importantly, that knife didn't kill Hei Yi back then, but deprived him of his voice, so that Hei Wing lived in silence pain in hell.
For Black Wing, his trampled dignity and justice, as well as his deprived voice, everything is the greatest shame in life. Black Wing is still alive, living so painfully, just waiting for the chance to avenge Sauron. Even this wait is more than ten years.
but…
"The opportunity has come." Standing in front of the black temple, looking at the twisted gate, it was like seeing the painful heart of his own son. Gordon said in a deep voice: "Black Wing, it's time to break free from this prison. Now, the opportunity has finally come." As he spoke, he strode towards the main entrance and pushed open the cold and heavy door with his hands.
Behind the door is a dark passage, decorated with some abstract human sculptures on both sides, all of which are made by Black Wing. And no matter what kind of sculpture, they do not have a head. Just at the neck of the sculpture, there are torches inserted. The Black Temple refuses to use any form of energy. Its lighting only uses the oldest methods, and the torch is one of them.
The two rows of torches illuminated the path that Gordon was going to take. After passing through the two gates, the central Hall of Pain leading to the Black Sanctuary was within sight. There is only a copper door between the hall of pain and the passage, and the door is full of painful and twisted human faces. They were male and female, old and young, and made all kinds of horrible moaning expressions. As if through countless nights in this sanctuary, these faces were crying out silently!
Gordon pushed open the door with a heavy heart, and immediately the damp and cold air slipped out from the door. As if being licked head-on by a cold snake, Gordon could not help shrinking his body before squeezing into the Hall of Pain.
The Hall of Pain is filled with murals and decorations of various religious significance, but the colors inside are mostly dark tones, so these decorations look uncomfortable. The difference from ordinary teaching is that in the four corners of the dome of the hall, there are not angels as decorations, but gargoyles representing the night and evil as decorations.
They are combined with the four columns supporting the hall, and at first glance they look like the faithful guards of the hall.
In the center of the dome of the Hall of Pain is a bronze brazier, which hangs from the dome and hangs in the air. Flames blazed inside, illuminating the entire hall. A circle of skulls was decorated around the brazier, and the firelight shone from the eye sockets of these skulls, like the sight of these dead things.
The entire hall was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and at the end facing the gate, a thin figure turned his back to Gordon. It was a man, wearing a long white dress that stretched the floor, with golden tassels full of military style on his shoulders. The back of the gown is painted in black with a demon and an inverted cross. The contrast between the pattern and the color of the gown is so striking that it cannot be ignored.
He is Black Wing, the master of the Black Silence Temple. In front of Black Wing is a huge mural, it is a painting centered on the entire wall, the content is the war between angels and demons. In ordinary religious murals, when it comes to the theme of the battle between light and darkness, angels are usually at the top and demons are at the bottom. After all, heaven is above and hell is below.
However, in the huge painting in front of Hei Yi's eyes, light and darkness are obviously reversed. The demon flew towards the ground from the dense black clouds. And the angels vacated from the earth to meet the countless ferocious demons. The lives of these two completely different camps met in mid-air, and countless bloody flowers collided. Seen from a distance, a slanted line of blood streaked across the wall, and a tragic murderous intent rushed towards his face.
Gordon's face paled slightly. Every time he walked into this hall and saw that Black Wing filled every corner of this giant painting with his own strokes, he felt uncomfortable. This painting seems to be Hei Yi's state of mind, so judging from the picture, could it be that his heart is full of bloody murderous intentions.
Once it erupts, will it flow like the blood line that separates the world in the picture, and the blood will flow like a river
"How did you come?"
Black Wing's voice rang directly in Gordon's mind. After Sauron took away his voice fifteen years ago, Black Wing could only communicate with people through the Spirit Rainbow Bridge. Gordon is no stranger to this kind of communication. Instead of responding in his head, he said as if talking to a normal person: "I have a message for you."
There was a moment of silence in Black Wing.
This is Gordon's long-standing habit, and Black Wing knows that Gordon does this to keep reminding himself that he, Black Wing, has every chance to live like a normal person. But knowing Gui Zhi, the flame in his heart did not disappear because of the passage of time, but burned more and more intensely. Hei Yi faintly felt that one day this flame would burn himself and this life together to ashes.
He only hoped that before this ending came, he would have the opportunity to find that man to make a break.
"Blackwing!"
Gordon had forgotten how long he hadn't called his son by his real name, but when the former chief of the legion became a criminal, he had already abandoned the past. Only Black Wing is still alive today.
His father's time brought him back to his senses, and Black Wing continued to say in Gordon's mind, "I'm listening!"
"Today is a special day because there is a special man in town."
"I know." Black Wing continued to paint: "His name is Raphael, he just killed Richard's Raymond not long ago, and barely drew with the lunatic. In recent years, he is indeed a special man. But, that’s all.”
"Of course it's more than that. Do you know who he is?" Gordon said excitedly: "He's not Raphael, he's Zero, the Zero who brought those pirates from Roaring Bay to Rock City!"
Hei Yi was shocked, turned around suddenly, and shouted in Gordon's mind like thunder: "Why is he here?"
Gordon's face turned pale immediately, and his body swayed.
Hei Yi began to feel lost, and quickly restrained his power and said: "Sorry, I got a little excited. Are you... all right?"
Gordon smiled and said, "It's been a long time since you cared about me so much."
Heiyi was silent, and under the firelight, he could see that he was wearing a half mask. The mask was the image of a falcon, blocking most of Hei Yi's face. This mask has existed since he appeared in Sin City. It is not simply hung on his face, but Black Wing branded the mask onto it in a way that almost self-mutilated. Looking at this mask, Gordon sighed in his heart, he had almost forgotten his son's real appearance.
After a while, Gordon got down to business. Tell me about Zero's intentions and his cooperation intentions. He also mentioned that Richard still had the last doubt about his identity, and hoped to use Black Wing's help to determine Zero's strength. After finishing speaking, Gordon said again: "This is a rare opportunity, Black Wing. Regardless of whether Zero can successfully rescue his friend, it will definitely alarm Sauron. As long as he appears..."
"Then I'll unscrew his head!" Black Wing's voice continued to ring in Gordon's mind, but this time he had controlled it, but the anger hidden in the voice still made the old man dizzy.
Black Wing said again: "Richard, a lunatic, can be cautious sometimes. Well, you go and tell them. Let them come to the Black Silence Temple tomorrow night, and I will provide a stage for that kid named Zero to show off." I guarantee that no one will sense his power breath, not even Wallace!"
"They'll be happy to hear the news." Gordon nodded and turned to leave.
As he closed the copper doors of the Hall of Pain, Gordon saw Blackwing resume painting. He has been painting this painting for many years, and it seems that it is time to finish it.
Even during the daytime, there is not a single person in the free zone. Of course, those who can stay in the free zone during the day are naturally not those ordinary residents. The three areas located on the edge of the free zone became the private plots of Richard, Black Wing, and Wallace. They can also stay in their own area during the day, while keeping a limited number of personnel at their disposal.
It's just that the three of them have completely different styles.
Black Wing's Silent Discipline Group basically stays in their own homes or in the Black Sanctuary during the day, they are like ghosts without any sense of existence. And Richard's Bloody Blade is usually sleeping at this time, or sleeping with his arms around a woman. As for Richard himself, he was more likely to hug the wine bottle.
The one who is a little more normal should be Wallace, a strong man who was born in a sinful city, but put aside his dignity and is willing to call himself a loyal dog of the military in exchange for privileges that the other two do not have, and a certain degree of protection from the military .
Wallace's Ruby Club has collected many notorious criminals. Compared with Richard, who is like a madman, or Black Wing, who is alive like a painful poet, Wallace is more like an out-and-out villain. Even though he looks gentle and elegant, he has the demeanor of a scholar. But in fact, he is a person who does all kinds of evil.
Before coming to the city of sin, he was a famous slave trader on the outer island. Afterwards, he was engaged in businesses such as drugs, arms, and assassinations. In the end, he was cleared by the pope's hall and fled to the city of sin, only to be able to save his life. He is the giant who appeared in Sin City after Black Wing. Before Madman Richard appeared, the entire city was almost divided equally between him and Black Wing.
It's just that Black Wing has much more to do. As long as Wallace's people don't enter the territory of the Black Temple, generally Black Wing will not ask anything. That period can be said to be the most beautiful time for Wallace, until a crazy Richard came. The man who didn't talk about the rules at all and stepped on Wallace's bottom line time and time again was indeed a troublesome figure.
Although at the beginning, Wallace did try to get rid of Richard. Hateful, he is not sensible enough. Richard could die, but he couldn't. So after repeated compromises, Sin City became what it is now.
It was early morning and Wallace was sitting in his study. On the table was a cup of coffee that was puffing out light smoke. This well-known tycoon in Sin City looked like a scholar in his forties, wearing a vest and glasses, watching with great interest. A light screen on the table. On the light screen was the scene of Richard and Zero fighting. Wallace maintained the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, so he did not see the hot live broadcast of the fighting gym last night.
Next to Wallace is a tall woman, 180cm tall, with a perfect golden ratio. Wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of blood-red high heels, she looks like a sexy office beauty. However, the woman's expression was indifferent, and from those gray eyes, it seemed that the whole world was lifeless.
In the eyes of this woman, all she could see were the bones of the corpse mountain, and she exuded the breath of death.
Her name is Feilin, but more people would like to call her Feilin of Ash Trail. She is Wallace's number one killer, an extremely dangerous woman. It is said that Richard once said that the only person in Sin City who doesn't want to fight with him is this woman in front of him. But he didn't know whether it was because Richard was afraid of her strength, or because he simply didn't want to fight a woman, then he didn't know.
Wallace pointed to Zero on the screen and said, "Feline, what do you think of this guy?"
"I don't know." Feilin cherished words like gold and said, "Only after I have played, I will know!"
