"...Let me tell you, you don't even know my name or where I come from, so you just let me follow you?"
Russell couldn't help but asked: "Then who are you?"
To be honest, Russell couldn't quite understand the logic of this lion's behavior.
They are more like beasts than humans.
He has no scruples at all and acts without any scruples.
But in the face of Russell's questioning, the white lion with a majestic face just grinned, revealing a ferocious and bloody "smile".
"Smiling" between humans is precisely to release hostility. It is a sign of joy and goodwill.
But when the white lion makes the same move, it looks more like a beast with its mouth open and ready to eat - it only makes people shudder.
"Is there anything I need to ask?"
The lion chuckled twice, the roar-like bass vibrating his heart: "It's totally unnecessary.
"You and I are both mages. We are both outcasts walking in the dream world... You and I are friends, not enemies."
"A friend rather than an enemy?"
"The day you see this blue sky - the moment you walk on this sand and see the Tower of Doom in the distance, you can no longer look back."
The White Lion let out a deep laugh: "They will never allow a mage to exist. Is there anything more trustworthy than an ally that cannot be betrayed?"
"Of course."
Russell replied without fear: "Even if we have the same enemy, the same origin, and are trapped in the same situation, it does not prove that we are walking on the same path, let alone that you will not betray me."
This is Russell's response.
Although it seemed that Russell was at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of his spiritual kinship, size, spells and combat experience.
But in fact, this man who looks like a dangerous beast is actually the one who "asks for help."
"——Of course I can prove it."
Unexpectedly, the white lion laughed loudly, and his bold voice spread far in the wasteland: "Because I am 'Strangled'.
"The windbreaker you are wearing is the logo of Tianen Group. You are also from Happy Island, right? Then you must know me."
He stretched out his big hand, although it did not turn into an animal claw, but the skin was extremely rough, almost like a callus, and pressed it on Russell's shoulder: "I am the 'Strangler' of the White Lion Group - my name,
That’s proof.”
Russell's pupils shrank slightly, and he became a little nervous.
Because he has indeed heard of this name.
In the lower city of Happy Island, there is an underground gang composed of young white lions called the White Lion Group.
Its leader is called Strangler... It is said that this name came from the fact that when he was a thug in the underground black boxing world, he liked to use jujitsu to hang people to death.
Later, after winning the championship for 16 consecutive years, "Strangler" hanged his boss and gained freedom - he became the new boss from then on.
Later... that was the establishment of the White Lion Group.
The White Lion Group is a very young organization. It has been established for less than five years. In addition to the boxing ring as its main business, the other main businesses are "mediation" and "execution".
They are responsible for regulating conflicts among underground gangs and executing traitors who defect to the company or cause trouble to the lower city.
They established a "code of silence" that is now followed by almost the entire downtown area.
The so-called "Law of Silence" means that you must not attack company executives and elves, so as not to cause trouble for others - but bribery and fraud are allowed, because they belong to the laws of the uptown area. Theft, which seems to be no problem, is also not allowed.
It's allowed... because if you go to the uptown area to steal, you're likely to steal something fatal, and your brothers will have to pay for it.
At the same time, they will protect downtown members who are willing to abide by the "Code of Silence" when they get into trouble.
And if you accept their protection, you cannot disclose any information that is not beneficial to the White Lion Group, otherwise you will be executed. Those who betray the White Lion Group and those who betray Xiacheng District will also be executed.
They also accept orders to "hunt down traitors". If there are traitors in other organizations, they can also pay the White Lion Group to hunt them down. In case there are sympathizers of the traitors in their own organization, they deliberately let them go.
, or more people were taken away after contact.
Because the White Lion Group's tentacles extend more to Xiacheng District, they act in a low-key manner.
Therefore, unlike organizations such as "Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation" and "Ignorance Veil", they have become targets of frequent attacks by the bad. It can even be said that the White Lion Group is also fighting against "Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation" and "Ignorance Veil".
The two are the main chaotic organizations in the lower city, so unless they happen to meet them, the bad ones will not take the initiative to cause trouble for the White Lion Group.
But it is different from the cautious-even tolerant attitude towards "uptown".
The White Lion Group's execution methods for those traitors who tried to "take refuge in Shangcheng District" could almost be called cruel.
...Would it be a bit suicidal to go undercover in such an organization?
Russell even began to think, or else he could just cut himself into Alice and start exploring the dream world for two weeks.
However, let’s give it a try first.
Because the opportunity is so rare.
If he can get the personal approval of "Strangler" and have the White Lion bodyguard, Russell's new identity will become much safer.
"What about you? What's your name?"
"Blue Songbird."
Russell responded without hesitation.
This is Blue Song Yuan's original code name, and there is no need to hide it - after all, it is not uncommon for people to use "Blue Song Yun" as their code name.
When people are too lazy to think of a code name and are eager to use it, they often directly use their spiritual relatives as the code name.
"It's a pseudonym."
Hearing the code name that was obviously the other party's spiritual species, Strangler sneered. He never thought that this was really the code name of Blue Songbird: "Girls, change it to another one. You will follow us to kill people in the future.
"When the time comes, if you say, 'Remember, the person who killed you is called Blue Song Yun', the other party may think this is some stupid stage play. Do you want to sing another verse for them?"
That's not impossible.
Russell cursed.
Singing and killing people at the same time does sound like a stage play.
"Then call me barber."
Russell said casually: "A barber can hold a sharp knife and stand behind others without being alerted. What does this mean?"
"What a name!"
Strangler praised succinctly and clapped his hands vigorously: "This is so true!"
If it weren't for the lack of wine, Russell doubted he would have taken a swig.
"Come with me, barber."
Strangler turned around and turned to the right: "Remember, lean forty-five degrees to the right. Our road is the road of anger."
"How do I determine this angle?"
"No need to be sure."
Hangsha replied: "You only need to move in the general direction and wait for the moment when you cross the realm..."
He didn't finish his words.
Russell suddenly felt something unusual.
He took a step forward, and the strangled man leading the way suddenly disappeared.
It was dark around him, and three illusory doors appeared in front of him without warning. Three roads extended from under his feet.
The roads on the left and the middle don't look much different, except that the footprints in the middle are deeper. The road on the right is a series of wet footprints.
The appearance of the three doors was vague...but Russell suddenly understood their essence.
[The way of practice], [The way of anger], [The way of revenge].
Although Russell was also a little curious about where the remaining two roads would lead, he walked towards the middle without any hesitation.
——The Way of Anger.
The moment Russell took the first step, the remaining two paths disappeared simultaneously.
The vague door appeared and opened to Russell.
It was a vermilion door frame, and the moment it was opened, blazing flames ignited all around.
A deep, angry voice sounded in Russell's heart.
That is exactly the same sound as "Blue Songbird"——
【——Why am I angry? 】
Upon hearing these words, Russell's progress paused for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
"I'm angry at this unfair world."
He answered without hesitation.
So Russell took the second step.
It was like breaking something, or breaking through some membrane.
The dark and gloomy world is once again dyed with color——
The surrounding air suddenly became hot, and the sky there shone with a golden-red sunset.
The ground is no longer a desert, but has become pitted. There are rugged gravels everywhere, and the land is reddish brown.
There are still many holes in the surrounding ground.
White, sulfur-smelling smoke steamed up from it.
He was standing on the mountainside at the moment.
Russell glanced back subconsciously.
At the end of the mountain range, there is a deep black void... It seems that if you fall, you will die.
He looked back again.
On the top of the mountain is the familiar Tower of the End. It is like a pillar, inserted into the top of the mountain.
The name of this area naturally came to Russell's mind:
