Through the dwarf's introduction, Tang Zhen basically understood the general situation of the City of Despair, which was very helpful for the next action plan.
The next thing to do is to collect as many credentials as possible and go to the core area where you can leave here.
This neighborhood is just the beginning. It’s not worth wasting time here. After all, there is a longer journey ahead.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he needs helpers and let them accompany him as far as possible.
Although there are some things that he can do alone, it is undoubtedly a waste of time, so the power in the hands of the dwarf can be used reasonably.
Tang Zhen thought of this and said to the dwarf: "You call all your subordinates here now. I have a plan that requires you and your subordinates to cooperate.
As long as the plan succeeds, not only will everyone of you have a house to live in, you will not have to worry about the source of food, you will even have the opportunity to cross the city gate and enter a higher-end neighborhood."
After hearing Tang Zhen's instructions, the dwarf felt a little impossible, but he didn't say anything more.
He knew very well that he could never be Tang Zhen's opponent, so he had to learn to compromise.
If he doesn't understand the situation and continues to seek death, no one will be able to save him.
Although this block is very large and has countless houses, if Tang Zhen wanted to kill him, there would be no possibility of escaping.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment. I will call my subordinates to come over."
The dwarf nodded and stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute, the puppet you controlled has been destroyed. Now go to your subordinates. Can they still obey your command?"
The dwarf hesitated after hearing this, and said in an uncertain tone: "They should give me some face. After all, I took good care of them in the past, and the new boss may not be better than me.
What's more, as long as I recover from my injuries and look for the right opportunity, I can still get a powerful flesh puppet."
Tang Zhen nodded, but did not agree with the dwarf's idea.
In this harsh environment, if you gain power you will live, if you lose power you will die.
The dwarf may have been very powerful in the past and many people followed his command, but this may not be the case now.
Maybe the dwarf will never come back. Of course, it’s not that he wants to escape, but he will be killed by other opponents!
So before the dwarf left, Tang Zhen planned to provide him with some means of self-protection to ensure his safety as much as possible, so as to avoid having to look for help again.
"Wait a moment, I have something for you to use for self-defense."
When Tang Zhen spoke, light flickered in his hand, and then a new repeating crossbow quickly took shape in the dwarf.
Seeing this scene, the dwarf's eyes were full of shock. He couldn't understand how Tang Zhen did this?
How capable it is to create things out of thin air!
Unknowingly, the dwarf's awe for Tang Zhen became even stronger.
The thin woman had seen similar scenes before. The shock in her heart was far less intense than that of the dwarf, but even so, she could still watch it intently.
I was extremely envious of Tang Zhen's method and wished I could have such an ability myself.
Tang Zhen threw the repeating crossbow to the dwarf, who quickly picked it up with a look of surprise on his face.
"This is a repeating crossbow. She can tell you how to use it. Carry it with you at all times and use it at critical moments. It should be able to deter those with evil intentions."
When Tang Zhen said this, he warned again: "Remember to leave early and come back early, I will wait for you here."
Turning to look at the thin woman, Tang Zhen said in a light tone: "You haven't told me yet, what is your name?"
Hearing this, the thin woman gently shook her head.
"I can't remember my name at all, and everything about me has been forgotten.
After coming here, no one has ever asked about this matter. If you are willing, you can give me a name."
"It's okay to give it a name."
Tang Zhen looked at the thin woman, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "You have a very soft figure and very flexible skills. You will definitely look good if you dance.
In that case, how about I call you Xiao Wu?"
"Xiao Wu!"
The thin woman nodded, with a smile on her lips, indicating that she liked the name very much.
"Go ahead, Xiao Wu, follow him. With the weapons in your hands to intimidate, those desperate people should not dare to make too many mistakes."
The dwarf and Xiao Wu looked at each other and turned away one after another. They wanted to find the person as soon as possible before midnight.
Otherwise, once the night watchers appear, even if they have repeating crossbows in their hands, they will not be able to match those monsters.
After Xiao Wu and the dwarf left, Tang Zhen got up and walked around the house to see if there were any clues left that would allow him to learn more about the secrets of the City of Despair.
With the disappearance of those weird owners, the houses that once looked neat and tidy have now become old and dilapidated.
It can be said that although there are many items in the house, there are not many that are truly useful.
However, there are some things like knives in the kitchen that can be used by desperate people as weapons. If other desperate people get this house, they will definitely make good use of it.
But to Tang Zhen, these things were of little value at all.
So he focused on those books and objects. Many historical secrets are often passed down through writing.
After walking around the house, Tang Zhen found the owner's study room in a house on the second floor.
The books in the house all look ancient, and the writing is obscure and difficult to understand. For a desperate person, they are of no use at all.
But when Tang Zhen saw these books, the corresponding contents automatically appeared in his mind, which surprised him.
Originally, he was just trying to find books and find clues from books, but he did not expect that he could actually understand these words.
"Did I really have something to do with that ancient god before I entered here?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Zhen's heart, but he couldn't be sure. However, he had a vague feeling that there might be another reason for this matter.
Because of his memory loss, Tang Zhen didn't know that his ability to recognize various characters had been with him for many years.
It is precisely because of this ability that he was able to read many books and accumulate an incomparable wealth of knowledge.
Opening a book at random, Tang Zhen discovered that it was a biography, which recorded a devout believer and various things he experienced in his life.
In addition to recording the daily life of this believer, the book also continuously praises the god with thick pen and ink, and insists that as long as you maintain your devout faith, you will have the opportunity to enter the kingdom of God.
Tang Zhen unexpectedly discovered that the description of the Kingdom of God in the book was very similar to the City of Despair.
Tang Zhen has a feeling that the Kingdom of God described in the books actually refers to the City of Despair!
Recalling the Changzhen speculation about the legend of the City of Despair mentioned by the dwarf earlier, a hint of speculation flashed in Tang Zhen's mind.
The rumors are so similar to the records in the books, which is enough to show that someone must have read similar books.
The other person happened to know the words above and told others, so there were very similar rumors, which continued to spread in the city of despair.
