Volume 3: The Utopia of the Demonic City Chapter 4 Neon World
Information is powerful.
The demon world, located in a place where desires from all sides converge, firmly believes this.
Because without desires, there is no essence of demons. Without information, there is no manifestation of various desires. The scholars who studied the demon world - in that era, they should be called wizards. Under the indoctrination of countless desires and information, they initially broke free from the shackles of instinct and began to think for the first time.
who I am?
But then proceed to the second step of thinking.
What makes us who we are?
Although due to their nature, the scientific research in the demon world has been progressing very slowly and illogically, but also due to their nature, the demons do not care about human rights and beliefs. Therefore, they have plenty of time to do all kinds of inhumane and anti-human experiments, and everyone in the demon world does this, there is no ethics at all.
This also led to the demon world being quickly divided into hundreds of factions of all sizes, and people's brains were beaten into dog brains. And because of nature, even if you awaken your self-awareness, your instincts will not change with the changes in self-awareness. Just like humans will be hungry if they don't eat, and will feel sick when they see feces, while some creatures like to eat excrement, demons will definitely not be satisfied if they don't make trouble. Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire demon city is extremely bizarre and hot.
It can even be said that if a writer stays here for just one day and returns alive with a normal mind, he may never have to worry about inspiration in his life. The Demon City is so exciting.
These fragments of the demon world are often the assets that some high-level demon lords want to use for experiments, or that middle-level demon lords want to use to get promoted to higher levels.
For example, this Demon World Conference, although not world-class, is very attractive once a year. Some people think that the demon lord of this fragment may need power samples from all over the world for reference, and then successfully be promoted to a high-level demon lord. Although the people in the demon world think that this guy has a great future, normal people think that the demons are probably crazy.
But who can deny the feasibility of this ? Demons are monsters born from negative emotions and information. They are not flesh and blood, nor do they need any messy food or excrement. They are the embodiment of desire.
So it doesn't seem incomprehensible that they can come up with something that is completely inconsistent with biological cognition.
"But if low-level demons want to advance, they still have to eliminate the influence of other factors... Information is power? Or is it self-awareness?"
What a strange yet logical social structure.
Looking at the huge corpse that was constantly dissolving in the acid, Li Lin stood at the entrance of the alley and tugged at his collar.
A blind demon played a cheap scam and brought him into the alley. Li Lin thought about it and spit at it, allowing Sally to extract the remaining information from his poor soul and piece together the appearance of this demon city.
"Hmm~ According to the information in this guy's soul, the entire Demon World City is now in the period of the conference, and there are no police or staff. All work and fighting are handled by local residents. But merchants rarely leave here, because they make more money at this time, and merchants believe that the power of finance is stronger than violence... Eh? It's even more prosperous? And the level of technology here seems to be much higher than my hometown. Let me read it a little bit..."
"Yeah……"
Li Lin sighed after taking a look at the iron gates around the alley that were exactly the same as those in the documentary, as well as the faint lights and pipes.
"It's exactly the same as when I was here... No, maybe a little earlier? Anyway, it should be a little closer than it is now. It shouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, no matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same."
'? What are you talking about, sir? '
"nothing."
Let's go.
The respirators on both sides of the mask blew out a puff of white smoke. Li Lin sighed, and the cloak on his body extended and spread under the action of the electric current, emitting wisps of light black mist around him. Then he calmly walked out of the alley, squinting his eyes and looking at the chaotic and vibrant utopia.
What emerges is a world as vibrant as the modern world.
Various neon signs with advertisements and pictures flashed unsettling lights on the gray and white tall buildings. Under the gloomy sky, searchlights of different colors displayed advertisements on the sky. Countless explosions and screams emanated from every corner of the city. From time to time, you could see the scene of the building market in the distance being cut off in the middle and slowly falling down in the violent flashes and explosions.
The vibration was so strong that even at one's feet one could still feel the energy transmitted from afar, but the pedestrians on the road were still talking and laughing, completely ignoring the scene that would have caused panic in the entire city in the normal human world.
'Maybe it's because I'm not a normal person in this city?'
Looking at the octopus head and the eight-armed monster passing by, Li Lin chopped off one of its hands that was stretched out to steal something, and thought with his head tilted.
But before he could think too much, there was a loud noise behind him. A scorching hot air gushed out from behind and blew up Li Lin's hood, directly buckling it on his head.
He took off his hood and turned around to see that the coffee shop, which had been relatively peaceful, had exploded for some unknown reason. Several men and women who were eating and drinking were lying on the ground covered in blood, their lives or deaths unknown, while the deformed and huge monster was holding a small safe and laughing crazily.
In the exploded cafe, no one in the relatively intact seats cared about the small accident that happened around them. They were elegantly and calmly chewing steaks on half of the table, ignoring the burning flames and splattering blood. They were talking and laughing calmly, as if nothing had happened, letting the burly man yell and roar. Their expressions were no different from seeing a teddy bear during afternoon tea.
"Hahaha! Soul crystals for fifty people!"
The twisted sturdy man licked his tongue and laughed morbidly.
"I'm just saying that participating in this bullshit competition is enough to justify the money by robbing—"
With a bang, the monster's head exploded in the air, but the person who shot it was not Li Lin.
As he looked on in astonishment, another man in black rode a motorcycle and shot the big fool in the head with a shot. He then jumped up on the motorcycle, picked up the fallen safe, and then sped away at lightning speed with sparks and lightning.
“Wow…”
Looking at the bandits speeding away, Li Lin could only come to such a monotonous sigh.
It’s really lively, just like the waiter said.
Even though he died.
"Where is the most lively place recently?"
"Well, the Devil's Bar and the Nightclub? In his memory, these two places are the most lively. Because there are some powerful people in them..."
"Then show me the way."
Li Lin put on his hood again, held Sally in his arms on his head, and blended into the crowd.
