What Yu Wenba said left Baiyu feeling quite speechless.
Why does he still like to morally bind others?
The Tenth District is truly too strange. If he hadn’t accidentally obtained the Black Moon Curse, he might have been trapped in it forever without a way out.
Unless absolutely necessary.
Baiyu would never venture inside.
However, the root problem hasn’t been solved. The Tenth District is still expanding, and its speed is getting faster, with a tendency to engulf the entire North District.
Although Linjiang City is large.
If it gets swallowed up , no matter how vast the area is, it can’t withstand it.
Should he go back in?
It seems like a choice, but in reality, Baiyu has no choice. If he doesn’t go in to resolve it, his own life will be threatened. Of course, there’s another way, which is to enter Erza.
But from the day of destruction, this legendary ship that is like an air-ground has been silent, quietly suspended above the city, and in the end, Baiyu couldn’t even contact Erza with the Heart of the Dance.
Not only in Linjiang City but also on the legendary ship, there’s definitely a problem.
Now the only one he can rely on is himself.
In this desperation, Baiyu thoroughly understood a truth, that no support is useful in such a disaster, and it’s completely inferior to personal strength.
In this world where great power returns to oneself, being strong oneself is the true form of strength.
"I can go in, but I need a condition," Baiyu sighed, saying to the video call, "I want autonomous access to the County City Library in Maple Leaf County, if I can come out alive."
Yu Wenba didn’t expect Baiyu to make such a request.
The County City Library.
It’s considered the largest library in the entire Maple Leaf County.
Compared to the libraries of Tian Nan Martial Arts School and Maple Leaf Martial Arts University, it’s far more magnificent.
The books inside are naturally not for everyone to see. Some require money, and others can’t even be seen with money, needing specific permissions and status.
Currently, all factions are paying attention here.
Yu Wenba agreed to Baiyu’s request almost without thinking and comforted him, "If you find something wrong, come out immediately, don’t take any risks!"
Baiyu nodded noncommittally, turned around, and disappeared at the entrance of the Tenth District.
Everyone present felt a bit uncomfortable in their hearts. They actually had to let a young person take risks, and they didn’t know where to put their elderly faces.
The Tenth District still looks the same.
When you first walk in, it’s still the Tenth District’s appearance, but after a few dozen steps, the surrounding environment immediately changes.
Unlike the last time I entered, the style here leans towards English. It’s obviously not a building of the East Prosperity Empire, nor is it the architectural style of his hometown from his previous life.
Baiyu glanced around.
These people aren’t quite normal, probably still like before, all turned into ghosts and demons. These things are quite eerie, affected by mysterious forces, some people will mutate, some will become these kinds of creatures.
In traditional terms on Earth, these are called "ghosts."
According to memories from his previous life.
Ghosts are usually generated in places with heavy yin energy, or those who die with resentment or attachment and so on.
After acquiring knowledge of this world, Baiyu has a new understanding.
Places with heavy yin energy, aren’t these just places with serious pollution levels? Like being in a Simulation Realm for a long time, normal people can’t take it and mutate.
Harboring resentment or attachment.
Isn’t this just one’s own high pollution level, leading to transformation into another kind of creature?
No one can explain it.
These are all Baiyu’s guesses, but the ghosts of this world aren’t as unsolvable as those on Earth, just like how when people are killed, they die, similarly, monsters, demons, and ghostly entities will die once killed.
Ordinary people can’t kill them.
But attacks covered with a martial artist’s Blood Qi, or the abilities of an Extraordinary, can harm ghostly entities.
Baiyu touched the Black Moon Mark on his right arm.
At this moment, the mark was dormant, deeply hidden beneath the skin, with no response, like it didn’t exist.
"The Black Moon Mark isn’t reacting, did I not make contact with the ghosts?"
Baiyu thought to himself.
The last time the Black Moon Mark reacted was after he killed a fierce ghost driver, which led to changes.
Baiyu walked expressionlessly down the street.
There was a flow of people and carriages.
Many ships were docked by the sea, with porters in burlap clothing unloading goods from the ships. There were also noble ladies with cloaks and wearing petticoats stepping off cruise ships.
The dock gave Baiyu the feeling as if he had returned to medieval Europe, with a strong Victorian-era vibe.
Baiyu slowly walked across the street.
Where he looked was a large ship, having loaded its cargo, setting sail towards the distant horizon. But in Baiyu’s view.
Beyond that horizon was still a black void.
Anything that approached would turn to dust.
"Are they really going to sea?"
Baiyu was originally amazed by how well these ghosts played their roles, but the big ship actually charged towards the horizon without hesitation and then crashed into the black void.
Something magical happened.
A layer of golden light appeared on the outside of the ship, wrapping it as it advanced, soon disappearing from the view of those at the dock.
Baiyu was astonished.
This... how can it work ?
He realized he still knew too little about this side of the world.
Too pitifully little.
As for the illusion realm, Baiyu had already discarded this thought.
"Uncle, do you want to buy flowers?"
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Baiyu’s face darkened.
Whose child is this, with no eye for things, yet dared to sell flowers, do I look that old?
An exquisite porcelain doll-like face came into view.
Baiyu said with a smile, "Call me brother, and I’ll buy your flowers."
The girl shyly looked at Baiyu, her sapphire-like eyes clear as water.
An absolute cuteness and charm weapon.
Such a person... no, such a creature, how can one refuse?
Baiyu looked at her blood-stained basket and gruesomely fleshy flowers and couldn’t help but smile, "What’s the price?"
"Your hair, a lock for a flower."
The girl was unfazed.
Baiyu’s whole body surged with Blood Qi, ready to strike this cute little girl with a punch, but unexpectedly whispers sounded in his ear.
"Buy it, buy it, buy it..."
The Black Moon Mark on his arm heated up, once again surfacing on his skin.
Baiyu calmed the Blood Qi.
He clipped a lock of his hair with two fingers, handed it over, and asked, "Is this okay?"
The girl happily nodded, took the hair, and put it in her small cherry mouth, munching it down in a few bites.
The sound of her chewing was eerie.
Baiyu watched motionlessly, and after she finished eating, her clean little hand picked a flower and placed it in Baiyu’s jacket pocket, "Thank you, brother, your hair is delicious."
