Chapter 995
After searching every corner that could be searched, black tail could confidently declare that it was... bankrupt!
It didn’t even have a rat’s tooth’s worth of money on it!
Damn it... when was this?
Black tail scratched its flaxen-colored hair and began to think about when it was bankrupt.
The final conclusion was... After no one bought its laughter mixture, black tail ran into the arcade and gave up on itself for almost seven days.
In these seven days, it had used up all of its remaining assets!
Black-tail, who was penniless, had only one choice, which was to continue to return to the underground arcade of the sewing gang.
It could at least hide in the crowd. If it stayed in the hiding place and wandered on the streets, it was very likely that it would be caught by the quest society.
Black-tail, who made this decision, did not hesitate. He walked down the stairs quickly and went through several blocks to the tavern under the jurisdiction of the sewing gang.
The number of visitors to the tavern had increased quite a bit recently. Most of them were here for the underground arcade of the sewing gang.
Black tail did not know how much money the sewing gang had earned in the past seven days, but the arcade had expanded from ten to twenty arcade machines, and then to thirty-seven.
Black tail even heard that another arcade had appeared in another part of the city. Black tail was sure that these guys had really expanded their business.
This was also due to the addiction brought by the arcade and the Little Overlord.
Not to mention the game inside, just the energy absorbed when crushing the Little Overlord’s crystal... The Pleasure it brought was much better than the effect of the laughter mixture.
Black tail walked into the arcade. It was no longer like a few days ago. The people playing nearby were all members of the sewing gang.
The entire arcade hall was filled with all kinds of people. Black tail was only half the height of others, so he should be worried in this kind of place.
But for some reason... black tail felt that the people around him treated him with respect?
“I Found You!”
A cold voice made black tail’s hair stand on end.
He turned around and saw the quest society’s scale ring standing behind him.
Black tail did not know how free the Quest Society was. If he remembered correctly, ever since the scale ring lost the first day, he had been seen in the arcade almost every day.
“Over here...”
Black tail did not have a single game coin on him, but he still braced himself and followed the scale ring to find an empty king of Fighters 97 arcade and sat down.
The scale ring had already taken out a game coin and put it into it, waiting for black tail to put in the coin.
“You’re not thinking of running away, are you?”The scale ring glared at black tail coldly under the top hat.
“How is that possible! I can beat you with one hand!”
Black Tail’s bad habit was once again exposed, which was that he liked to taunt people when he was not confident.
Scale ring observed black tail’s expression and instantly guessed what Black Tail was hesitating about.
“Don’t tell me... You Don’t have the money to buy game coins?”Scale Ring’s cold voice was like a blade pressing against black tail’s chest.
“What nonsense are you talking about! Of course I have... I’m just looking for it!”
Black tail knew that as long as he admitted it, the result would be very likely to be captured by the Quest Society.
“Hey! This guy doesn’t have the money to buy game coins!”The scale ring raised its voice to warn the people of the sewing gang. It meant that it was going to take black tail away.
However, the scale ring’s warning attracted the attention of the people standing behind black tail.
“I... I’ll go buy...”black tail turned around and was about to use this excuse to escape when he realized that a human wall had gathered behind him.
It was unknown when half of the people in the arcade had gathered behind black tail.
Just as black tail was about to shout for them to move aside, one of the Brawny men held a game coin in his hand and handed it to black tail.
Before he realized what had happened, other people around him also did the same thing.
“I... Can Take It?”Black tail looked at this group of people suspiciously. The most unlikely thing to happen in this city was ‘helping strangers’.
However, the group of people all nodded at the same time. Therefore, black tail tentatively took a small game coin that seemed to be easy to bully and threw it in front of the scale ring.
“Get ready to go home!”
Black tail had absolute confidence in his “King of Fighters 97”. As long as he was given a chance to live, the people of the quest society would not be able to take him away today.
..
“Business has been good recently.”
Marceau leaned against a luxurious sofa, smoking a cigarette with his other hand.
“It won’t be long before you become the richest person in this city.”
Jose controlled the Orange Cat’s tail to feed the dried fish to his mouth, while his gaze was fixed on the lazy and enchanting woman lying on the sofa.
If Healy was there, this scene would have covered Josh’s eyes with her hand.
“The richest? In this dead city, what’s the use of being rich?”Marceau was not interested in Josh’s words.
“Then what are you going to do with the money?”
Josh could hear a sense of despair in her voice.
“Run away from this city.”Marceau pointed to an oil painting of a paddy field on the wall. “My grandfather and grandmother used to live in the sky... It’s a blue world. I’ve never seen a blue sky before, so I want to take a look.”
“Speaking of which, the sky here has always been gray.”If Joshua remembered correctly, the sky of this city had always been shrouded by dark clouds.
“Your words do sound like they came from outside this city.”Marceau stared at the orange cat crouching on the table and asked, “Can you describe what the outside world is like?”
“If you want to see it so much, why don’t You Leave Now? If you pack your luggage and walk through the underground passage, you will be on your way to the sea and the Blue Sky Tomorrow,”said Joshua.
“As expected... an outsider.”Marceau put out the cigarette in his hand. “This city is sealed. There is a terrifying magic barrier at the edge of the city. If you touch it, you’ll quickly wither and die... Many people have tried to leave this city, but they’ve all become bones under the city walls.”
“A huge cage?”
Jose thought about it carefully and it made sense. This was also a way for the castellan to control the loss of population.
“So we should completely destroy this filthy city!”
An unfamiliar voice sounded outside Marceau’s lounge. She immediately sat up from the sofa, and a figure wearing a top hat and walking on crutches entered the door.
“Who are you!”
A long silver needle had already appeared beside the woman, and in the next second, it would instantly pierce into the old figure’s body.
“I’m here to look for the person who injected the power of God into this origin crystal.”
A origin crystal appeared in his hand. This origin crystal was the little overlord... Marceau’s gaze instantly turned to the Orange Cat, who was sitting on the table and yawning.
