#739 - 726 Liberty City
The sun was setting.
The intelligent bus steadily stopped at the bus stop.
The automatic door slowly opened, revealing the desolate appearance of the city. The wide streets had only a few scattered pedestrians, and the low buildings intertwined to form many dark alleys.
Although there were few pedestrians on the main road, the wind howled between the buildings.
A low growl.
As if declaring sovereignty.
Ma En naturally raised his leg towards the other party's territory, like a king inspecting his land, while Xiao Lie and Xiao Ying, who were somewhat dazed, quickly followed.
Although it seemed like there were no traces of anyone nearby, for some reason, after taking a few steps, Xiao Lie and Xiao Ying felt prying eyes in their peripheral vision, but they couldn't find anything when they looked around.
After walking a few steps, Xiao Ying looked at Ma En's back and opened her mouth timidly.
Xiao Ying was very scared.
Because she could barely survive when facing those she had to look up to only by remaining fearful, let alone someone like Ma En who ruled her life.
This was a god.
But in the short few days of contact with Ma En, she always vaguely felt that beneath his arrogance, there was a kind of extremely gentle warmth, as if...
As if it were the light emanating from her brother when he was granted divine power.
The morning sun.
Or rather, this was not some kind of contrast at all. This inner gentleness and outer arrogance had a subtle harmony in her perception. The two seemed to be the same thing.
The same sun.
"Sir, we've actually heard of this city before," she suppressed her years of ingrained habit and believed in her current intuition. "In the stories we heard, it was called the City of Freedom."
Xiao Lie looked at his sister in surprise, then quickly looked at Ma En's back.
But the thing he was worried about didn't happen.
"Oh?" Ma En's tone was curious.
Xiao Ying quickly continued:
"In the stories I heard, this city was quite prosperous, with the most extravagant life, as if gold flowed on the ground, but for some reason it has become like this now..."
Ma En nodded slightly:
"Then the legends you've heard may be correct."
Night fell, and the streetlights lit up one after another. Then, sparse sounds like rats gnawing on garbage began to come from the dark alleys, followed by the lighting of bonfires.
Only at this moment did Xiao Lie and Xiao Ying notice the figures hidden in the dark alleys, and realize where the prying eyes from just now came from.
As the firelight flickered, they could even see wolf-like eyes in those terrifying and dirty faces, as if in their eyes, they were just moving pieces of meat.
In an instant, Xiao Lie felt a little fear.
At this moment, he forgot the divine power on his body and returned to the days when he was once terrified.
Ma En also felt a similar reaction on Xiao Ying's body. Obviously, these eyes also reminded her of when she was weak, but unlike Xiao Lie's confusion.
She immediately showed the same fierce look, and even had a distorted look close to hatred.
Although this was just a tense baring of teeth, she seemed to be ready to bite.
"Phew." While Xiao Ying was still tense, Xiao Lie had already adjusted his emotions and returned to his previous calm appearance, then gently patted Xiao Ying's shoulder as if to comfort her.
Only then did she regain her composure.
Realizing her poor performance just now, Xiao Ying opened her mouth to apologize, but looking at Ma En's nonchalant back, she finally swallowed the words back into her throat.
Ma En didn't intend to say anything. They seemed to be frightened by these homeless people, but he could clearly feel the strange atmosphere flowing in the air. The eyes of those homeless people were gradually becoming less like humans.
What just happened wasn't an accident, but a warning and test from the city.
"What's that?" Xiao Ying was suddenly attracted by the bright neon sign in the distance.
It seemed that in the moment they were distracted, the shadows of tall buildings vaguely appeared in the distance, and some square buildings between the two heights were flashing with colorful spots of light.
Then, before they took a few steps, the smell of burning grass leaves came in the air.
A small number of figures in groups began to appear on the main road, and those hiding in the dark alleys were no longer homeless people huddled around the flames, but young men and women dressed more like gangsters.
Some leaned against the wall and constantly scanned the surrounding pedestrians, some sat on the ground smoking, some hid directly in the darkness and entangled with each other, and some simply collapsed on the ground like dead people.
When Ma En and the others approached, these people also looked at them with extremely greedy eyes.
Logically speaking, they should be more ferocious than the homeless people just now, but Xiao Lie and Xiao Ying were very surprised that they didn't feel any tension, as if their gazes didn't pose any threat to them.
Ma En also felt a different atmosphere.
If these guys were all living people, then those homeless people were more like the limbs of the city, constantly swinging back and forth in some incomprehensible pattern.
And after they walked forward a few blocks, there were more and more pedestrians around, and the gangsters hiding in the alleys were also accumulating, but there were more important changes.
In just a few blocks, the surrounding buildings became beautiful and luxurious, and tall buildings and colorful directional buildings began to appear one after another.
And as they got closer, the appearance of these buildings became clearer and clearer.
Casinos, bars, brothels, and tobacco shops.
Just like Xiao Ying had heard, the smell of extravagance and debauchery was flowing, and there were indeed liquids with some color flowing on the ground, and all kinds of loud and pleasant noises came from inside the buildings.
The noise mixed with laughter drowned them out.
And on the street, there were occasional quarrels, running, beatings, and screams.
Xiao Ying looked at these chaotic and crazy colored squares, her eyes slightly迷茫:
"Is this the City of Freedom?"
Xiao Lie looked down at the young man convulsing on the ground:
"Is this the price of freedom?"
The man under his feet was not a special case. Not far away, a young female gangster was lying in a pool of blood, being dragged into the alley by her companions, leaving only a blood-red line.
Even the place where they used to live didn't have such chaotic and terrible scenes.
Ma En reminded:
"This is not the price, this is freedom itself."
Police, government, and order are all seemingly real illusions here. This city is almost equivalent to the physical manifestation of the Wind God's will in the mortal world. It is the flesh and blood of a god cast from steel and concrete.
This city is just an eternal storm.
All lives are howling and roaring like the wind, sweeping through the steel jungle in the most free and unrestrained manner, and no one can restrain them.
And dissipating like the wind.
