Chapter 151 Sky

"Really? You didn't kill him, so you let him go." The man said calmly, "Whether it's true or not, who are you... Just send it to the Star Chamber of Commerce for soul-breaking evidence search, and everything will be clear."

The man gave the other law enforcement officers a look, and they immediately escorted Xi Renjie into Aurora City and walked towards the Star Chamber of Commerce.

Hearing the words "soul-breaking evidence search", Xi Renjie's pupils shrank slightly.

"No... I don't want a soul-crushing search for evidence!!" Xi Renjie raised his head suddenly, "I don't want a soul-crushing search for evidence! You want me to confront Commander [Tan Xin] face to face! The game he set up may not necessarily work, there are too many variables!"

"Commander [Tan Xin] certainly knows there will be variables, but as long as the success rate is 50%, it's enough... If you are Chen Ling, then we can get the news of the forces behind you and your purpose. If you are Xi Renjie, then we will also give you enough compensation... Of course, the premise is that you can survive a round of soul-crushing search for evidence." The man glanced at him,

"You should know that if Commander [Tan Xin] didn't set up this game, your only destination would be death in District 3... Now your future has a little more possibility, what else do you have to complain about?"

Xi Renjie opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word... He knew that he couldn't escape today no matter what.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still looking forward to the life after entering Aurora City. It was Aurora City that gave him the motivation to struggle out of that icy hell. He had clearly come to this city, but he never expected this result.

He was carried on the road like a dead body, with his head drooping, his eyes empty and desperate... The pedestrians on the road pointed at him in confusion, but they didn't know what happened.

"Mom, there are so many kites in the sky..." A child's voice came from the roadside.

Xi Renjie was stunned for a moment, and he looked up at the sky with difficulty.

Under the blue sky, hundreds of colorful kites were floating in the aurora. They were of different shapes and colors. They carried dreams and expectations and flew freely in the warmth and peace...

This was the first time Xi Renjie saw a kite up close. It was also the first time he knew that there were not only ice and snow and aurora in the sky, but also such beautiful things. They seemed so close to him, but so far away.

Before Xi Renjie could take a closer look, the sky above him was obscured by the heavy eaves. It was a dim house with a blood-stained stone table in the middle.

At this moment, on the stone table, a young man with a scar on his face was like a corpse, motionless.

"Here comes the man." said the man escorting Xi Renjie.

"Tsk... This kid hasn't finished his troubles yet, and here comes another one?" The figure beside the stone table spoke impatiently.

"Why, the soul of Jian Changsheng hasn't been broken yet?"

"No, this is the fourth time... This is the first time I've seen such a tough guy."

The man said carefully, "We are in a hurry, how about cutting in line first?"

The figure glanced at Jian Changsheng and waved his hand in annoyance, "Forget it, this kid can be kept and tossed slowly, someone take him to the dungeon and lock him up first... Change to a fresh toss."

Xi Renjie looked at the stone table that was gradually approaching, the scarlet blood splashed on the table seemed to overlap with the colorful mandarin ducks flying in the sky... This was his sky.

He slowly closed his eyes.

...

"It's so cold..."

Boss Xu hugged his shoulders with both hands, his whole body was shivering, muttering two words, and the heat was instantly condensed into ice chips.

"Damn it, why is it getting colder the further we go?"

"No... I really can't walk anymore, how long will it take us to get there?"

"We're probably only halfway there?"

"I'll take a break... You guys go first."

"No! You absolutely can't take a break in this temperature, if you do I'll never be able to stand up again."

"I really can't walk anymore... You guys go first, I'll come back later... I'll just take a break, just a little while..."

"..."

More and more figures are sitting down by the rails with difficulty, their bodies are covered with ice chips, and they look white from a distance. Most of them are elderly people. Even if someone in front stops to pull them up, they just wave their hands and can't get up no matter what they say.

"Dad... I'm so tired..."

"Come, Dad will hold you for a while."

Boss Xu carried the boy on his back with concern, and stumbled and almost fell to the ground. The woman quickly supported him and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay... I'm fine." Boss Xu licked his cracked lips, but licked a mouthful of ice chips, "But it seems a bit too cold today... I haven't heard that it's so cold near Aurora City?"

"Yeah, I feel like I'm going to be frozen."

"And why do I feel... there are fewer and fewer people in front of me?"

Boss Xu rubbed his eyes and found that Boss Li's family, who were originally walking in front of them, had disappeared. The rails continued to extend on the mirror-like ice surface and disappeared at the end of the fog, but there was no figure on both sides of the track.

This discovery made Boss Xu's scalp numb. He thought he was walking too slowly, so he ran forward with his child in his arms. Suddenly, the world spun around, and everything in front of him changed.

Under the lead-gray sky, there was no trace of the track. Under his feet was a smooth layer of ice. As his footsteps fell, ripples appeared on the ice, as if he was walking on the sea.

The weirdest thing was that he could see his wife walking behind him through the reflection on the ice. As his wife stepped into the ice, she appeared behind him in an instant, as if she had stepped into the gap between the two worlds, and looked around blankly.

"This... this is..." the woman said in confusion.

Boss Xu held the child and saw the residents of the third district who reappeared in the distance. He seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Gray world? How is it possible?"

Before he finished speaking, a series of exclamations came from the front. The residents who were originally walking in the front turned around and ran here like crazy!

Behind them, the icy sea surface was violently disturbed, and dozens of ripples swept around. Creatures covered with spells crawled out of the seabed and approached them at an alarming speed.

One of them jumped on the ice, like a fish leaping over a dragon gate, and accurately hit the woman who was running at the end.

The next moment, a ball of blazing flames suddenly burst out, and a fireball more than two meters high instantly engulfed the woman. The shrill and desperate roar was like some kind of signal, which instantly spread throughout the crowd.
