2013

City of Fear, four rings.

People came and went.

Xu Taiping was not familiar with this place, because it was winter right now, and many of the roads he used to know had already been covered by the snow. There were no city guards, no security guards, so no one shoveled snow, and some roads were even submerged by the snow, becoming taller than houses.

Xu Taiping, Mi Jia Lie La, and Kavan Di Xu walked around the Fourth Ring for about half an hour. After that, Xu Pingping stopped and looked around, before saying, "Compared to when I left, this place has changed a lot, I almost couldn't recognize it."

"Who are you looking for?" Cavendish asked.

"Looking for uncle." Xu Taiping walked into a nearby alley.

After walking for less than 10 meters, they reached the end of the path. On the left side of the path, there was a shop with closed doors.

In front of the shop was a lantern with a single word written on it: Big.

Above that, there was a sign with three words written on it.

"Big bar."

"There's actually a bar here?!" Kavan and Dixu said in surprise.

Xu Taiping stood at the door, taking off his mask.

"What are you doing?" Cavendish asked.

"To see a friend, I shouldn't have brought this with me." Xu Taiping stretched out his hand to open the sliding door.

It was a very old sliding door. When it was opened, it made a 'ka ka ka' sound.

A warm breeze blew out from behind the door. Accompanied by this warm breeze, the wind chimes on the door emitted a melodious sound.

Xu Taiping walked in, followed by Michael and Cavendish.

What appeared in front of everyone was a small bar that was less than 30 square meters.

The bar was dimly lit.

Although it was afternoon, there were still a few people drinking in the bar.

There was a TV on the wall of the bar and a game was playing.

"Not much different from when I left." Xu Taiping sighed.

"You … Are you familiar with this place? " Mikaleira asked.

"Very familiar." Xu Taiping smiled, walked forward to the bar, and sat down on a high chair.

"Such a small place, how dare you call it a big bar?" Cavendish walked to Xu Taiping's side, looking around as he asked.

"Because the owner of this bar is called 'Uncle', this bar is called 'Big Bar'." Xu Taiping explained, and then he pressed a button on the bar.

Ring, ring, ring!

A crisp sound rang out.

Following the crisp sound, an obese body walked out from the door beside the bar.

"What would you like to drink?" Before this obese body could reach Xu Taiping, a voice came over.

Xu Taiping looked at the man.

This person looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was obese, a fat man with a black beard and a white chef's cap on his head. He looked very weird.

"Uncle!" Xu Taiping shouted with a smile.

"Huh?" The man stopped in his tracks, looking at Xu Taiping in confusion.

With this look, the man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's you, kid!" The man walked out of the bar at a speed that didn't match his stature, then headed straight for Xu Taiping.

Karwendish glanced at the man and saw that there was no badge on his chest.

This was a little strange. Without a badge, he could only be a stranger, but this man was clearly an old man in the City of Fear. How could he not have a badge?

"It's me!" Xu Taiping stood up from his high chair and spread his arms.

The man called Uncle also opened his arms. Soon after, the two men embraced each other.

"It's really you. I didn't expect you to return it. It's been so many years!" The uncle sighed.

"Come back and do something." Xu Taiping said.

"Ai, why didn't you come back a few days earlier? If you came back a few days earlier, you would have been able to see that guy Blizzard. That guy wouldn't have gone to challenge the Spirit King, and he wouldn't have died!" The old man said in frustration.

"Why would he be so free to challenge the Spirit King?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's all because of you!" The uncle said.

"For me?" Xu Taiping was stunned, he asked, "For me?"

"Do you still remember how many years ago, a Ghost General broke your leg and threw you out with three rings?" the uncle asked.

"I remember. After that, I left the City of Fear." Xu Taiping said.

"The person who broke your legs is the current Ghost King." The uncle said.

"What?!" Xu Taiping looked at the old man in shock, "If I remember correctly, that person is the 17th Ghost General, the last of all the other Ghost Generals, right?"

That's right, it's the 17th Ghost General! For some reason, that person suddenly became very powerful, and then directly killed the original Ghost King, and even killed all the other Ghost Generals, you know that person, he has very few friends, and you, I, count as his only two friends, that guy has always remembered about you having your leg broken, so he kept cultivating in the City of Fear, and later on he even entered the Third Ring, Second Ring, and became the strongest killer. In the last few days he went to re-elect the Ghost King, so he went to challenge the Ghost King. The uncle sighed.

Xu Taiping was silent. He had never imagined that his good friend of many years would die because of him. Before, Xu Taiping had thought it was a pity that he died because of him, but now, he was overcome by grief.

In the City of Fear, life and death are both life and death. Even if he doesn't die this time, he might die in the future. The uncle said.

"Sigh!" Xu Taiping sighed.

"Take a seat, I'll go in and get you some wine. Is it still the wine you used to drink?" the uncle asked.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded.

"These two are your friends?" the uncle asked.

"Yes." Give them each a cup. " Xu Taiping said.

"Alright!" The old man nodded, then walked into the bar. He picked up a green bottle, poured three cups, and placed them in front of Xu Taiping and the other two.

"What wine is this?" Cavendish asked curiously.

"This is the wine that uncle made himself. It might taste a bit strong at the start, but after drinking it, the aftertaste is still pretty good." Xu Taiping drank a mouthful of wine as he spoke.

Karwendi picked up his glass and took a sip as well, but immediately spat the wine into the cup.

"This taste is too weird!" I can't drink it! " Cavendish shakes his head and sets the cup on the table.

"I don't drink." Michael said.

"What a pity." Xu Taiping picked up Michael's glass of wine and poured it into his own cup. Then he looked at Uncle and said, "I've been gone for nine years, haven't I?"

"En, more or less. I remember hearing you say at that time that you were just a fledgling. At that time, you were much younger than you are now." The uncle said.

"Time flies." Xu Taiping sighed and said, "He was just like me back then. I didn't expect him to still be that young even after so many years."

"Sigh!" The uncle sighed, sighing a little, then said, "However, Little Xu, don't try to seek revenge on the Spirit King. You are not a match for the Spirit King, and the Ghost King is even stronger than the Ghost King from before."

Xu Taiping shook his head, but didn't say anything.

"You wouldn't really want to take revenge for blowing snow, right?" the uncle asked.

"Don't underestimate this man in front of you. He is very powerful!" Karwendish said.

"No matter how powerful he is, can he be as strong as the Ghost King?" The uncle shook his head.

At that moment, the bar staff members were pushed open, and five people walked in.

"Uncle, serve the wine, as usual." the leader shouted.

This person's voice was quite loud. Many people lowered their heads to drink their wine and looked at him. When they saw the Satan badge on his chest, everyone lowered their heads.

This was a Ghost Soldier! Very powerful.

Each of the four people beside him wore the emblem of a demon!

These four were all Ghost Guards, and their strength was considered average in the City of Fear.

"You guys didn't pay last time, do you want to drink Overlord's Wine again?" The uncle said with a dark expression.

"It hasn't opened recently. There are less and less rookies here. Business isn't good!" The leader of the ghost soldiers said as he walked in, and then he saw Xu Taiping and his men.

The ghost soldier was surprised, and then stared at Xu Taiping for a long time before saying, "You … Wasn't it that Xiao Xu who went to play in the Third Ring many years ago, and got his legs broken on the first day, and threw out the Third Ring? "

"Puppy, it's been so many years since we last met. You're still the same dog as before!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Puppies? Ha ha-ha, no one has dared to call me puppy dog in front of me for many years. Now, everyone calls me dog dog. The ghost soldier that Xu Taiping called a puppy said.

"Humiliation? How could I not remember? I do remember the first day you came to the City of Fear, you were hit by the snow until sh * t flew out. I will never forget that scene. Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Is there really someone who would be hit with sh * t?" Cavendish asked curiously.

"Yes, and it didn't come out. It flew out." Xu Taiping said.

"Very good, Little Xu. It's been so many years since we last met, yet you haven't seen any other developments. You've actually improved quite a bit in terms of talking, that's why you're wearing the Skeleton Emblem, right?" Did he think that the current City of Fear was different from before? The City of Fear is no longer the City of Fear from nine years ago, and my Hounds are no longer the Hounds from nine years ago. Recently, I've been worrying that no one would open it, but to think that the heavens would gift me with such a huge gift … "Little Xu, it's your bad luck today!" The hound grinned.
