Volume 1 Crime and Punishment in Fog City Chapter 15: The First Death
Although the occupied area of Sodom is somewhat similar to that on Earth, it is completely different.
They deliberately made the streets very flat, making it look like they were connected in all directions, but it was basically impossible to reach where you wanted to go if you walked along the correct tunnel. Often you had to jump to another street through a specific place.
It was like living in a Rubik's Cube Building. During the time Li Lin was observing the environment, he had seen countless people lift a lid from the inexplicable ceiling and slide down along a rope that came from nowhere. Or a manhole cover suddenly opened from below, and a well-dressed supervisor crawled out in horror and saluted him politely.
In the dark blue dragon oil lamplight, the entire Sodom occupied area seemed to be living in a frenzied and twisted dream. Everywhere were traces of slaves or supervisors who had gone mad because of the dragon oil mist. Living in this city seemed to be a real challenge. Li Lin saw three bodies hanging around pipes and streets along the way, and there was no one to collect the bodies. And it looked like it had been there for some time. The oldest one, who was lying on the ground with a knife stuck in his back, was only a skeleton. How did he know? Wouldn't the player turn over the bodies on the road? But unfortunately, the long time made the murder weapon and the characters themselves blurry.
But think about it, if it's really that good, how can I wait for him to turn over the corpse? It seems unlikely that the orange weapon will be obtained by kicking the door.
When he thought of this, Li Lin became a little bored and lost the great pleasure of exploration.
"Hmm, did it take thirty minutes to go shopping?"
Looking at the traces mapped out by the blood runes on his wrist, Li Lin estimated the time he had been out for a walk and it was indeed time to go back and find a proper tour guide to teach him the way.
This time was different from playing at home, where you could go as you please. If you were playing away, you would have to find someone familiar to ask for directions, right? Li Lin himself was not a person with poor directions, so he jumped and ran along the iron pipe and returned to the train station in five minutes.
The steam locomotive didn't even complete the most basic work. A group of priests wearing protective masks and holding discuses surrounded the black locomotive, chanting prayers that sounded like electronic music, and occasionally pouring oil from the basin into every corner of the locomotive. They also picked up some strange-looking religious objects and began to clean the locomotive, which was known as a demonic mechanism.
It was really fun, but now was not the time to watch the show. Li Lin grabbed a supervisor and asked him a few questions, and soon found three people who were willing to be tour guides from among the idle people.
The supervisors were different from the slaves who didn't wear masks. At first glance, I thought they were copied and pasted. The supervisors probably had another authentication system, but in front of Li Lin, these three people were dressed like clones, and even their voices were almost the same, so it was difficult to tell who was who.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's just looking for someone to lead the way. As we all know, high-level people will be distinguished from others, and small fish are small fish. When you arrive at the center of the Sodom occupied area, you can basically find out everything by checking the information. As a player, there is no need to care about these NPCs who are only used to introduce the background or simply don't have a name - even if the real reason is that he is too lazy to ask.
"...So Sodom's form is very complex?"
Walking in the narrow corridor that could only accommodate three people side by side, Li Lin asked curiously under the small orchid light above his head.
"It's countless times more complicated than you think. Even the overseers have all kinds of hatred and madness. You have to know that there is a normal living system underground. Some overseers went crazy because their companions were completely bewitched by Longma, while others could not stop their curiosity and absorbed the fog. And the ending is as sad as you think."
"That sounds really sad."
"Not only that, but the long-term hard work and oppression with no future in sight have made many overseers tired. Many of them have been doing this for thirty years, and some even fifty years. Our ancestors and parents were also doing this kind of work. We can't see any future. Even the only artistic creation can hardly bring us any comfort. Because how should I put it? Some of the monsters down there can draw better than us. They have been crazy for hundreds of years."
"So you are actually very dissatisfied with the current situation?"
"That's true."
The sound of iron-soled boots hitting the iron plate was harsh and sad.
"But in fact, in recent years, we have also found answers that can change the current situation."
"An answer that could change all this?"
"Of course there is only one answer. Dear little sir, that is of course -"
The tone suddenly changed, like a cold wind blowing from hell.
"…You will go to hell."
"?"
The sudden attack was not from a dagger, but simply a violent wave blowing from the side and rear.
The invisible air wave was like a heavy hammer that blew Li Lin into the center of the square alive, while those who originally claimed to be guides walked into a platform with a sneer and slowly rose up with the roar of machinery.
The gears began to turn, steam gradually gushed out, and the originally dead city seemed to come alive again, giving out inhuman gasps. Almost as soon as he staggered and was blown to the center of the platform, the dark walls around him began to gradually flash red and blue lights. Countless gears sprayed steam, and the interlocking winches pushed the entire square away from the original building and placed it in the center of the shaft. The gaps of more than tens of meters on both sides and the countless rotating gears and iron blade fans ensured that it was impossible for anyone to fly out from inside. Even if they had wings, it would be impossible.
It's a desperate situation.
"Wow..."
Li Lin stood up, crossed his arms and watched the wonderful performances of these people with a smile, and gave Sodom's technology a hundred thousand thumbs up in his heart.
The entire platform was peeled off to reveal a flat ground. It can be seen that this is not a gathering square, nor an elevator, nor a place that can connect to the surroundings. This is the bottom plate of a heavy hydraulic press. However, due to its huge size and age , it looks like an old square.
As for the corridor they just walked through? It was probably not a corridor at all, but just a conveyor belt. If the mechanism was activated, there would be nothing around that could help them survive. The only suspension bridge had already been pulled to the top by them.
In the dense fog, accompanied by the roar of machinery, the hydraulic press like a canopy slowly fell down, causing the entire building to tremble.
The black iron block squeezed the hazy mist and pushed downward like a collapse of the sky, determined to crush the people into minced meat.
This is the final outcome of the murderous monster.
If he could really die.
"Hey! You guys! This welcome gift is really great! The people of Sodom are more welcoming than fog!"
"You're going to die, monster."
The three people standing on the rising platform said indifferently:
"Your death will mean the complete failure of the infiltration of the people on the ground. We got the news. They dare not send out their last trump card, and they cannot send out their last trump card unless they want to destroy themselves. So you are the last hope of those nobles. As long as you die, we will eventually win. Our leader is a fool, and you are a victim who is destined to die."
"What about you? Do you think you are revolutionaries standing on the side of progress? Or do you think this kind of rebellion based solely on myths and religious worship can achieve any kind of victory?"
"That's none of your business, monster."
"Really? But I think I'll be back to kill you. It won't take long. Wait for me."
Although I don’t know who you are, I hope you have a beautiful dream.
Looking at the dark figures standing on the crane, Li Lin smiled, stretched out his hand, waved at them in a friendly manner, and blew them a kiss.
Afterwards, Li Lin's human body was smashed into a pool of meat paste by a heavy object weighing tens of thousands of tons that accelerated instantly, and was evenly distributed in an area of dozens of meters .
Expecting a player to completely die? That's not funny.
