Chapter 7: The Dark Sh.o.r.e Translated by Rook of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

It was so dark that there did not seem to be a sliver of light. The deep night covered the very long avenue that seemed to have no end that was called Anjie.

On the two sides of the avenue, there were occasionally strangely shaped two storey buildings with all sorts of colored lights. But these lights were very different from the glaring lights from the neighborhood. Even if the neighborhood was lively, the entire Anjie seemed to be under a barrier. No matter how loud noises were, they couldn't travel through the barrier, no matter how brightly colored and brilliant lights were, they couldn't pierce the barrier.

If someone were to look down from the center of the city, they would see that within the colored brilliant lights, there was a huge dragon as unmoving as the mountain, quiet and untroubled. This was the real Anjie.

Although the nights at Anjie were pitch black and quiet, the people at Anjie were still people after all. Even if they weren't humans, they could still wear human skin and pretend to be humans. Thus, there were still lamps on the streets. Although the lamps provided illumination of less than three meters, it was better than nothing.

“The entire Anjie only has a single central rubbish transfer chute. After considering the living conditions of other streets and Anjie's appearance, the rubbish transfer chute will be entering the back part of the third construction building. En, it is actually quite recognizable.” LiXiao pointed at the room that looked like a huge rubbish room under the darkness and the lamps. He said, “This is idiot-proof. Usually, our Anjie facilities have very simple shapes. Even an idiot could find it!”

LiXiao's tone was three parts pride, three parts helplessness, four parts indifference. JinYu couldn't help but laugh, “Then, according to you, Anjie's restaurant should be shaped like a giant bowl?”

LiXiao and orange head nodded together. JinYu's smile froze on his mouth.

“What about the hotel?”

“It's in the shape of a wine barrel.” LiXiao's expression was quite calm.

“Public toilet?”

“…The lower half of an ice cream.” Orange porcupine-head felt that his a.n.a.logy here was really good. It won't make someone feel disgusted.

“You're wrong, I've decided that I won't eat ice cream for summer this year anymore.” JinYu solemnly said. A thousand gra.s.s horses ran madly in his heart–who was the aesthetically-ignorant person who this type of extremely idiotic architecture?! Why did he create these buildings for his own home?!

In his heart, JinYu savagely mocked the aesthetic sense of the person who was likely the head of Anjie. At this moment, he was about a hundred meters from the rubbish disposal area.

Just as he wanted to walk forward, he was pulled to a stop by LiXiao. At the same time, Xiaolue howled. It leapt forward and punched, pinning a swift black shadow to the ground!

“Xiao Jin, you must know that the most dangerous place in Anjie at night is this rubbish disposal area! In this district, every night there are beasts who have been abandoned or beasts who are fleeing, or beasts moving around. Although they're injured or about to die, they're even more to be feared because they're driven be desperation and despair! Even a beast lacking in attack power could kill a human!”

Following LiXiao's sombre yet urgent words, tens of darkened beast silhouettes gathered around them. There were all types of beasts, and yet they all had a similar look of savagery and cruelty. Under the night sky, they looked especially ferocious and cold.

“…..Because of despair, they are cruel; because of betrayal, they are cold…..”

At this moment, JinYu saw that more and more beasts were gathering. The beasts looked ruthless, without an exception, and they growled amongst themselves. It was hard to believe.

Even if he had seen too many animals die in the apocalyptic earth he came from, this type of cold, emotionless eyes was the first he had come across. He felt incomparable sorrow, rage and frenzy that could not be expressed when he saw these beasts gathered before him.

If it wasn't devastating despair and sorrow, then why would the beasts who were supposed to be simple, loving and innocent, become so cold?

“Hehehe… so… I also hate humans…” JinYu covered his eyes with his left arm. He mocked himself and seemed crazy as he began to laugh. “The most selfish and heartless animals are humans.”

“Xiao Jin?”

“Jin-zi? LiXiao and Orange porcupine-head were alarmed by JinYu's behavior.

“Nothing… nothing… alright, big brother Li and Orange, you guys can go back. I'll stay here tonight.”

LiXiao and Orange porcupine-head's expressions changed in an instant. If they had been alarmed by JinYu's behavior earlier, right now they were looking suspiciously at JinYu, wondering if he had lost his wits from the fright of seeing these beasts gathering.

LiXiao was about to forcibly pull JinYu away. But suddenly the moon, which had been covered by clouds slowly came out. It brought with it dark red moon beams that shone on Anjie. At the same time, it lit up the dark shadows that were full of hostility.
