Chapter 127 Xin Kui
"My noble lord, do you need a guide? In the inner city of the Devil's City, I know everything. You are right to find me."
"Only three soul points are needed every day."
A scrawny middle-aged man squeezed to the front. He showed his big yellow teeth and looked miserable and pleading.
"Sir, don't look for him, look for me. I am known as the know-it-all in the City of Demons. Who doesn't know my name as the Sky-Drilling Rat?"
"And I only need 2 soul points a day."
The person who answered was a rat man with a human body and a rat head. Its eyes were rolling around, and it looked treacherous, not like a good thing.
Xiwei now understands that these people are guides in the inner city of Demon City, and they probably earn some soul points every day through this kind of work to survive.
Xiwei was not familiar with the Demon City, so it would be a good thing to find a guide.
His eyes scanned the crowd for a moment.
Finally, it locked onto a little half-elf girl at the very back of the crowd.
The little girl was petite, with dry flaxen hair that was curled and hadn't been washed for who knows how long. Her little face was dirty and she looked young.
She was pushing forward with her head lowered.
But how could it be possible to squeeze through these people and humanoids around? Even though she tried her best, she was still pushed out.
"It's just you."
Xiwei separated from the crowd and walked to the little half-elf girl.
"Ah ah ho..."
The little half-elf girl raised her head and made a difficult sound from her mouth, with a grateful look in her light green eyes.
She wanted to kneel down and kowtow.
But Xi Wei pinched his shoulders and stopped him.
"Is he mute?"
Xi Wei frowned, secretly calling out for bad luck.
A mute acted as his guide.
What a joke.
Even basic communication is difficult, right?
As if sensing the disappointment and disgust in Xi Wei's eyes, the half-elf girl immediately panicked.
She said "babbling" in her mouth.
He hurriedly took out a few dusty notes from his dirty pocket.
The little hands covered with frostbite rummaged through the papers and took out one of them.
Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly unfolded the note and held it in front of Xi Wei. She ignored the other notes even if they fell to the ground.
[I'm sorry, I can't speak, but I can write. I only need one soul point a day]
As if this was not enough to make Xi Wei's heart move, the half-elf girl immediately knelt down on the ground and rummaged through the notes scattered on the ground.
After a while, she picked up another piece of paper, unfolded it, stood on her toes, and lifted it as hard as she could.
[I can do odd jobs for you and run errands for you. These will not charge extra soul points, they are complimentary]
Xiwei's eyes moved back and forth between the half-elf girl's earnest gaze and the note in her hand, and finally nodded.
"Okay, you're hired."
"My lord, do you no longer think about it?"
"She is just a mute, there is no way she is qualified for the job of a guide!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Xinkui, don't get in the way here, otherwise you will die in your doghouse tonight, I promise!"
The eyes of the surrounding humanoids were red.
What happened in the outer city has just been reported.
This was a powerful master. He killed hundreds of bastards from the outer city as soon as he came in. He had no shortage of soul points in his hand.
"Get away!"
Xiwei snorted coldly and released a trace of Sky Knight-level aura, immediately causing the surrounding humanoids to shut their mouths.
However, their vicious eyes still glanced at the half-elf girl, not concealing the killing intent in them at all.
The half-elf girl probably wouldn't survive more than a week.
Xi Wei already had a rough guess in his mind.
When he doesn't need this half-elf girl, that's when she dies.
The half-elf girl herself knew this.
There was a faint gray color in her eyes, as if she no longer cared about death.
"Let's go, take us to find a place to live first. It doesn't matter how many soul points we need, but it must be clean."
The half-elf girl named Xinkui nodded. She took out a piece of paper that had been torn in advance, and then took out a worn-out pen. She wrote a line of words in a "swish" and spread it out on Xiwei. in front of.
【Please follow me】
Half an hour later, Xiwei and his party arrived in front of a gray building under the leadership of Xinkui.
This building doesn't look like a place to stay, but more like a prison.
[This is the safest and neatest residence. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is very sturdy. Other places look luxurious, but disputes often occur]
Xinkui noticed Xiwei's doubtful gaze and immediately wrote a note before Xiwei asked.
"I see."
Xiwei nodded.
Along the way, he and Xinkui asked and answered questions, and already had a certain understanding of the inner city of the Demon City.
First of all, soul points are equivalent to the currency of the Demon City, especially in the inner city. No matter where you go or what you do, it will almost always be linked to soul points.
If you have soul points, you can almost enjoy emperor-like treatment in the inner city of Demon City.
The reason why people from the outer city want to enter the inner city so much is because the inner city is much safer than the outer city.
As long as you can pay the entrance fee and continue to pay the monthly soul point tax, you will almost never be killed suddenly while walking on the street.
Of course, if you live in the inner city, you will pay more soul points tax every month.
There are two main ways to obtain soul points in the inner city.
The first is to kill people, but the rules in the inner city have changed compared to those in the outer city.
Killing is allowed, but it must be done secretly and cannot be discovered by patrols. If discovered, a high corpse disposal fee will be charged.
If you can't afford it, you will become a red-listed resident.
Red-named residents will be slaughtered by others at will without any responsibility.
The second way is to go to the Dream City and participate in gambling, where you can bet on everything.
The organs on the body, precious equipment, one's own partner, and even one's own life.
That is the soul point.
Other than that, just like the half-succubus girl, find a job.
But basically this kind of job has been taken away, or like Xinkui, they run errands for the strong men in the inner city and act as a humble guide.
Living in the inner city, you really don’t need to worry about someone suddenly being thrown out of nowhere with a steel fork piercing your throat and dying on the street.
However, due to lack of strength, they have to face greater pressure of life in the inner city.
If you can't pay the soul point tax for a month.
His eyes would be gouged out and he would be driven out of the inner city.
As for why Xinkui is mute, according to her, it was last month when she gambled away her tongue for 10 soul points in the Dream City.
