74: Diving into Twilight City, good news and bad news.

He looked up.

Dusk City's structure was comparable to Sunset City's.

However, the spatial passage appeared larger and closer.

It was clearly designed for soldiers to enter quickly.

Inside, various spire-shaped buildings were scattered at different heights, with black and red as the main colors.

What shocked the two of them was the entrance to the city.

A group of bare-skinned demon soldiers turned, bent over, flipped, and raised their arms.

The rough inspection movements of the Garrison soldiers made their temples throb.

This inspection was practically a conscription physical!

"Are...are we still going in...?"

Pedro's legs were trembling, and he stammered.

Chen Beixuan also looked disgusted and shook his head.

"Let's observe first. If it's really impossible, we'll think of another way."

With such an exaggerated inspection method, let alone them being disguised.

Even if true demons came.

They'd probably be arrested if their skin color was slightly off.

Chen Beixuan only wanted to confirm one thing now.

That was whether this inspection was only for ordinary demons or for all demons.

He had a Demon General badge, and his rank was not low.

If there was a green light, he could enter!

Pedro's expression was complex as he nodded, forcing himself to observe.

The two found a stinky ditch and a small mound, crouching behind them to wait patiently.

A foul smell assailed them, making them very uncomfortable.

"Just bear with it..."

Chen Beixuan pinched his nose and frowned.

The two patiently observed.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes in the stinky ditch were watching them...

As time passed.

Just as the two were about to fall asleep, a demon who looked like a captain finally appeared.

His attire was clearly different from that of the other demons.

He wore more fabric and a helmet.

Chen Beixuan perked up, staring intently at that demon.

But he was quickly disappointed.

Although he didn't undergo a full strip search like the ordinary soldiers.

The guards still inspected him very carefully.

In this situation, he couldn't guarantee that the Demon General badge wouldn't be subject to inspection.

"It seems we'll have to find another way to get in..."

"...Are you two trying to get in?"

"Of course... Hmm?!"

The two's expressions changed.

Within 0.2 seconds, they turned, drew their weapons, and assumed a defensive stance.

They saw a scrawny demon, reeking of foul odor, with a face full of wrinkles.

Seeing that the two were about to act, he quickly spoke to stop them.

"Don't move, don't move. If we move, all three of us are done for."

Hearing his words, Chen Beixuan paused.

His staff didn't fall, and he stared at him, asking,

"Who are you?"

The old demon wiped the stinky mud from his face and explained,

"My name is Anderson. I just escaped from prison. Relax, I have no ill intentions."

"I just want to make a deal with you two..."

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow, recalling his previous words.

"Do you know other ways to enter the city?"

Anderson nodded.

"I've been digging tunnels for 20 years, and I just escaped today and ran into you two. This is fate..."

"I want a set of clothes and 10 gold coins. Agree, and I'll tell you two the location of the tunnel."

Chen Beixuan was instantly shocked upon hearing this.

Digging tunnels for 20 years, you're the savior of Dusk City!

However, this guy in front of him didn't seem to have seen through their true identities.

Perhaps he mistook them for petty thieves.

Seeing his tattered state, he might really have just escaped from prison, so what he said didn't sound like a lie.

It had some credibility.

Thinking of this, he counted on his fingers.

"10 gold coins for two people, so 5 gold coins per person. Pedro, pay up."

He kicked Pedro, who was watching the show, signaling him to pay.

Pedro looked bewildered.

Why am I involved in this?

Didn't you two discuss it?

Besides, weren't two people going in? How did it become one?

"Master Chen... are you going in by yourself?" he tentatively asked.

Chen Beixuan glanced at him indifferently.

"Not me, you."

"Ah? Me..."

Pedro's expression changed dramatically, and he stammered.

"You...aren't you going in...?"

"I have my own way to get in. You are a Divine Thief; you must believe in yourself. You said that yourself."

Chen Beixuan patted his shoulder, encouraging him.

Anderson's words had enlightened him.

Why did he have to go through the door?

He had Void Escape; he could pass through walls!

He had been trapped in a thought rut before; he could completely go off script.

He collected himself.

Pedro paid with a long face, and Anderson smiled as he put the money in his pocket.

Then he led him to the tunnel entrance.

During this time, he frequently looked back, fearing that Chen Beixuan was following him.

Chen Beixuan shook his head at the sight, he was quite cautious.

He got up and circled around.

Taking advantage of the guards on the city wall not paying attention, he used Instant Shadow Technique to reach the base of the city wall.

Then he whispered,

"Void Escape!"

Whoosh!

The surrounding environment instantly darkened!

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly passed through the city wall!

Inside the city wall was a narrow alley, devoid of demons.

The amazing thing was,

The effect of the First Person title could actually work here.

Movement speed +50%!

He controlled his speed and walked out of the alley, blending into the crowd in a few steps.

His eyes darted around, searching for the teleportation array's location.

As a war bridgehead.

This was essentially a huge military camp.

Most of the city's inhabitants were demon soldiers, similar to the situation in Sunset City.

There were countless demons like him on the streets, enveloped in black mist.

As long as he wasn't face-to-face with a high-level BOSS, he didn't have to worry about exposure.

Moreover, he still held the Demon General badge, which could conceal a portion of his aura.

He patiently wandered around for a long time.

Finally, he found the locations of all five teleportation arrays.

One good news, one bad news.

The good news was that the five teleportation arrays were together, very close to each other.

If he stood in the middle.

He could destroy them all with one Lightning Spell!

The bad news was that a red-haired muscular man with question marks for all his attributes was sitting in the middle!

——

Bloodthirsty Demon Gregg: Level 80 BOSS

HP:???

Attack:???

...

Danger Level: Extremely Fatal!!!

——

When he threw out his reconnaissance, the red-haired BOSS suddenly glanced in his direction.

It startled him at the time!

Fortunately, he was mixed in the crowd, so he wasn't discovered by the other party.

This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

Even when he scouted Papachee, there was no reaction.

Papachee was a Level 60 Golden BOSS.

Could this red-haired guy be an 80-level Diamond BOSS?

"This is getting tricky..."

Chen Beixuan knew this task wouldn't be that simple.

Choosing any item from the treasure vault was equivalent to 1 million merit points.

If it were that easy to complete, it would be strange...

"First, I need to find Pedro and rendezvous..."

Whether it was luring the tiger out of the mountains or flushing out the snake, at least two people were needed for coordination.

Just then.

A patrol of demon soldiers hurried through the crowd, as if something had happened.

A demon who knew one of the demon soldiers asked,

"Brother, what happened?"

"Someone escaped from prison!"

The demon soldier continued without stopping, replying without turning his head.

Chen Beixuan's heart stirred when he heard this, and he quietly followed them.

He arrived near the prison.

Before he could even observe the situation, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder!

Oh? You're copying me?

He raised an eyebrow and turned to look.

Chen Beixuan:???
