?Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Give Up The Idea Of Kidnapping Earlier And There Won’t Be So Many Troubles_1 Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Give Up The Idea Of Kidnapping Earlier And There Won’t Be So Many Troubles_1 “Traveler, you speculated, ‘Could it be that Winter City has agreed to let mutant patients seek asylum within its walls?''”


    “Impossible!”


    Wei’er immediately rejected your guess.


    “To them, we Variants who could lose control at any moment are nothing but ticking time bombs. Those high-ranking people inside the city will never agree to let us in. They only see us as slaves and cheap labor!”


    Luo Xi also thought that Cat Cat made some sense.


    So, could it be that Winter City was afraid the Variants would die off and they’d have no slaves to use?


    “Traveler, you voiced another guess.


    Wei’er shook her head again, “If the residents of Grey Stone Street all die from the Origin Disaster this time, they’ll just go to some gathering place of mutant patients and pull in another batch, just like they did last time after the wind disaster when they rebuilt Grey Stone Street.”


    “Traveler, you asked, ‘But how do we explain the situation now? Didn’t you say that the glory of the Winter Divine Tree has also contracted for the first time?''”


    At that moment, Cat Cat fell silent.


    Indeed, how to explain these frequent anomalies?


    Aina whispered at the side, “Wei’er sister, Brother Luo Xi, wouldn’t it be better to just ask someone directly?”


    “Aina is right. You guys hide here for a bit longer; I’ll sneak into the crowd and find Uncle Bear to see what’s going on.”


    No sooner had Wei’er spoken than a piercing scream suddenly rose in the distance.


    “What is that, monsters, monsters!”


    “Traveler, the three of you cautiously looked toward the source of the sound.”


    You saw those undead-like creatures that you had seen before, over a dozen of them rushing out of the snow forest and into the crowd, biting the residents of Grey Stone Street.


    The long line of people immediately descended into chaos, scattering like birds and beasts. Some even ran haphazardly toward your location; fortunately, you were lying on higher ground, and no one noticed you.


    In just a moment, many residents of Grey Stone Street were entangled by the undead horde. Although the combat strength of those undead didn’t seem very high, the liquid dripping from their rotting bodies was corrosive. Upon touching human flesh, it would corrode holes instantly, causing immense pain.


    “Everybody, scatter!”


    The guards from Winter City’s patrol quickly realized something was wrong; they turned their vehicles around, got out, and started hacking at the undead with their weapons.


    After a fierce battle, several dozen undead creatures were cut down by the guards.


    “Traveler, you heard a guard shouting below, ‘Damn, how did these damned things get out again? Can’t His Honor the Grand Magistrate keep a better watch over his ‘death row inmates’? We always have to clean up their mess! And we then have to send them back, which is just disgusting! I can’t even eat my dinner!''”


    “Shhh! There are so many people here. You can complain under your breath, but what if it gets out? Aren’t you afraid His Honor the Grand Magistrate will trump up some charges against you and have you strung up in that experimental forest?”


    “Bah… of course I’m afraid. We’re just lowly soldiers. Speaking of which, why did the Mansion of the City Lord order those Variants to be brought into the Inner City? I can hardly stand their smell.”


    “Just do your job. How could folks like us guess the thoughts of the big-shots?”


    A thunderous voice boomed, rolling closer along the road like thunder, “Anybody who doesn’t want to die, keep moving! Otherwise, go back!”


    After the voice faded, the long stream of people quickly regained order. The residents of Grey Stone Street, carrying all their most valuable possessions, didn’t want to go back at this time.


    After all, no one wants to die, and with the Divine Tree Glory having receded, Grey Stone Street no longer had any ability to fend off danger. Winter City had become their only hope of survival.


    “Traveler, you gained some clues from the conversations of these people.”


    Luo Xi tapped his phone screen, deep in thought.


    First, these undead monsters that had escaped from the forest didn’t appear to be an unknown event, at least not to the guards inside Winter City; they were all but accustomed to them.


    Actually, it seemed to be the Grand Magistrate. Combining this with the special mission that had come up before, Luo Xi could almost conclude that those undead were the work of this so-called His Honor the Grand Magistrate.


    Using death row inmates as experiment subjects?


    The thought alone was chilling.


    So, that ‘Purging of the Necromancy’ mission was for him to purify these undead and get rid of the Grand Magistrate?


    The difficulty of this mission was surely overestimating me, wasn’t it?


    Lastly, the fact that the residents of Grey Stone Street, the Variants, were allowed to enter Winter City seemed to involve some unclear and strange circumstances.


    Paired with the sudden contraction of the Winter Divine Tree Glory.


    Plus, there was the Rat King lurking in the dark, plotting something unknown, and Luo Xi still didn’t know where he was or if he was still watching Cat Cat.


    And there was also the Church of Truth.


    Luo Xi ruffled his hair.


    The more he thought about it, the bigger his headache became.


    Aren’t games supposed to start on an easy difficulty?


    Why had he walked straight into a hellishly difficult scenario?


    “Note: If you had given up the idea of abducting two beast-eared Lolitas earlier, you wouldn’t have so many problems. So, Traveler, you only have yourself to blame.”


    Luo Xi: “…”


    “I’m going to find Uncle Bear and ask about the situation. Don’t move from here.”


    Seeing the large crowd return to normal, Wei’er instructed you and Aina once more before her body vanished into the snow. Three seconds later, you saw Cat Cat, unassumingly blending into the stream of people on the road below.


    You couldn’t help but marvel at Cat Cat’s handy ability to move through walls.


    “Note: Indeed it’s handy. If a garbage Traveler like you had it, it’s unimaginable how many adorable beast-eared Lolitas would suffer at your hands.”


    Slander! This is blatant slander!


    ….

    Wei’er moved along with the crowd and quickly found Lek, the tallest in the throng.


    Lek carried a large bag on his back and cradled a small child in his left arm. Next to him walked a woman around thirty years old with a pair of canine ears on her head, whose face still bore traces of sleepiness from waking up too early.


    Wei’er called out softly, “Uncle Bear.” S~ea??h the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing a familiar voice, Lek jolted, looked down, and saw a petite girl walking beside him to his right.


    Lek asked uncertainly, “Little Wei’er?”


    Wei’er uncovered her face a bit by lowering her scarf and nodded, “It’s me, Uncle Bear. What on earth is going on? Why has Winter City suddenly allowed us, the mutant patients, to enter?”
