2011

"French, is this your new guest?" A few men stopped Xu Taiping and his gang when they were about 20 to 30 meters away from the bank.

"What do you want, Beck?" French held the gun carefully in his hand and stared at the people in front of him.

"I saw them take out a lot of money. You know, we haven't had a good meal in a long time, so …" Leave the money and I'll let you go! " The man named Beck said, reaching for his belt.

Just as Baker was about to pull out the gun from his waist …

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

After being shot in the head, Baker was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.

"Bastard!" A few of the people beside Baker roared in rage. They aimed their guns at French, who was about to shoot, but at that moment … With a flick of his wrist, French made a beautiful gesture with his hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several gunshots rang out, and the people following Baker all fell to the ground.

"Young people these days, if we don't show them some of our abilities, do you really think those of us who have lived in the City of Fear for so many years are trash?" French said coldly.

"Your marksmanship is so accurate!" The eldest cousin said in surprise.

"Never underestimate anyone in the City of Fear." French put the gun back in his belt and said, "Since I dared to bring you here to get the money, I'm not afraid of being robbed."

"This spear technique of yours, it's impossible for you to have more than ten years of experience with guns. What were you doing outside?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Me? There's nothing to say. " French shook his head, then said, "Let's go, my guests. I'll take you on a tour of the City of Fear's Five Rings."

"I want to go find Frank." Xu Taiping said.

"Don't you want to take a walk?" With me leading the way, no one will cause trouble for you even if you don't have any badges. " French said.

"It would be better if I went to him to buy some badges. Moreover, French, I want to ask you for some information." Xu Taiping said.

"Alright, then let's walk and talk!" French said, walking forward.

Xu Taiping walked beside French, and Mikaleira followed closely behind, holding Xu Taiping's hand with one hand, as if she was afraid of losing him.

"From the looks of it, you guys aren't here to find excitement." French said as he walked.

"If we want to find someone, who's more reliable?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Looking for someone? "Of course I'm the most reliable. I, French, am the best in the entire City of Fear, and I don't know anything that I don't. For example, since you guys are here today, I will find out once you get out of the car." French said.

"Really?" Then let me ask you, have you heard of the creator? " Xu Taiping asked.

"Creator?" French frowned and said, "I have never heard of this before, but a while ago, a group of people came from the City of Fear. That group of people... Then, he did not stay in the fourth or fifth ring, but directly went through the fourth ring. As for how many rings he went through, I do not know, but I have seen those people from afar, all of them were wearing robes, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Furthermore, they have brought a lot of things with them. "

"Oh? Exactly a few days ago? " Xu Taiping asked.

"About five days, I should think." French said.

"Five days …" Xu Taiping looked at Duanmu Huanghun and asked, "Is the time right?"

"Pretty much!" Duanmu Huazhe said.

"So, if I want to find those people, I'll have to enter the Third Ring?" Xu Taiping said.

"Let me tell you, a third ring is not that easy to get close to. You might be powerful, but you can still make a hole in the ground with one punch, but there are plenty of powerful experts in the third ring."

This is a truly lawless land, where real demons live. It's possible that any one of them has the strength of a ghost soldier! " French said.

"The strength of ghost soldiers? Do you still have any divisions of power here? " the eldest cousin asked.

"Of course, in the City of Fear, the most common type would be the ghosts, the people with the skull badge. Including me, we are the ghosts!" French said.

"What about us?" the eldest cousin asked.

"You all … You are strangers, and only when your mother obtains the skeleton badge can you all be considered ghosts. And after that, you should have seen those demon badges, and you should also have seen them, they are called ghost soldiers, they already have a certain position here, their strength is not weak, and normally no one would provoke them, above ghost soldiers, ghost soldiers live in the third ring, only then can they live in the third ring, and are qualified to be called ghost soldiers, on the chest of ghost soldiers, there are three thousand ghost soldiers, and this number will not increase. If you want to become a ghost soldier, you will have to kill one of the three thousand badges, and you will become a ghost soldier! " French said.

"Three thousand ghost soldiers? So much? Every single Ghost Soldier is strong? " the eldest cousin asked in surprise.

"Of course, if you're not strong, you won't be able to survive within the third ring!" French said.

"How is this possible? There are several hundred experts gathered together, but I still believe there are several thousand experts. I do not believe it." The eldest cousin shook his head.

"I won't lie to you. Really, all three thousand ghost soldiers are gathered in the Third Ring. Moreover, all of them are very powerful." French said seriously.

"There are so many experts, why must they come here? This place is very poor, and if everyone here is really strong, doesn't that mean that we can find a random place to stay? " the eldest cousin asked.

You don't understand, those three thousand people, every single one of them is a sinner. Outside, the International Criminal Police Organization wants to capture them, their enemies want to kill them, their freedom is limited, and here, they can do whatever they want, and even assassinate the Spirit King. You can do it, it is not illegal to do it here. French said mysteriously.

"What is it?" the eldest cousin asked quickly.

"Ghost!" French said.

"Ghost?!" The eldest cousin was shocked and asked, "Is there really a ghost?"

"Yes, there really are ghosts. There are also ghosts in the Fourth and Fifth Rings, but these ghosts are more likely to be humans. Some people like to pretend to be ghosts …" At night, within the Third Ring, you will be able to hear all sorts of ghostly wails and howls, and at the same time, you will be able to see all kinds of ghostly shadows. It is said that once these ghostly shadows reach the upper body, your body will be strengthened, your strength, speed, and perception will all increase in a short time, so, many people will go to the Third Ring to look for ghosts. As long as you can withstand the fear brought about by ghosts, you will become stronger! " French said seriously.

"Nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world." Xu Taiping said.

I also didn't believe it before, but later on, I met a person who escaped from the Third Ring, and his badge was taken away by someone, but he didn't die. He told me, there really was a ghost in the Third Ring, and he was also struck once by the Ghost's upper body, causing him to be unable to move at all. "If I can stay in there for all these years, I'll have more chances to become stronger, and I'll have more chances to become stronger!" French said.

"How strange." Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes and looked towards the center of the City of Fear.

From here he could see a tall building very far away, at the very center of the city of fear.

"This is too strange!" The eldest cousin crossed his arms and said, "There's actually such a place in this world, I can't believe it."

"The universe is full of wonders." Xu Taiping shook his head. He suddenly thought of Wang Xiaosi, the legendary cultivator.

If it wasn't for Wang Xiaosi, there wouldn't be a single creator in this world. It was because Wang Xiaosi made the creator realize that humans can exist eternally that the creator decided to walk the path of eternal destruction.

Perhaps, this place was a magical place like Wang Xiaosi's?

So, I suggest you not to enter the third ring. I heard that the feeling of being inside a ghost's body is very scary, and those who are mentally weak may go crazy after being inside the ring. Every year, there will be a lot of new people who overestimate their strength and enter the third ring. French said.

"Is the Ghost Soldier the Ghost General?" the eldest cousin asked.

"Yes, in the entire City of Fear, there are only seventeen Ghost Generals, and every Ghost General is the Ghost King's loyal subordinate. Of course, the Ghost King is an exception, he was the Ghost King's previous Ghost General, but he killed the Ghost King. This has never happened in the history of the City of Fear. It is said that he fought fiercely with the previous Spirit King for a whole day and night, and in the end, he had personally chopped off the previous Ghost King's head! " French said.

"What about the previous Ghost King's Ghost General?" Xu Taiping asked.

"They were all killed. This Ghost King was extremely brutal, he had killed all of the Ghost Generals. You have to know, all of these people were his companions before this … Then, this Ghost King found seventeen more Ghost Generals. " French said.

"Killed him?" Xu Taiping frowned. He suddenly thought of the number seventeen Ghost General who had broken his leg.

That person should have been killed as well. After all, he was ranked 17th, and his strength was the weakest amongst all the Ghost Generals from back then.

"Alright, we're here. This is Frank's workshop!" French suddenly stopped and said.

Xu Taiping and his men looked in front of them.

It was a very old, simple, two-story building. There were quite a few people at the entrance of the building, seemingly waiting to buy their badges.
