Chapter 1,119 The Light Chaser (Third Update)

Kuroo returned to his hiding place... He searched the hiding place inside and out, and also turned the pockets of his clothes from the inside out.

After checking every possible corner, Kuroo can definitely declare that he is... bankrupt!

It doesn't even have a rat tooth left on it!

Damn it...when?

Kuroo scratched the ends of his flaxen hair a little frantically and began to think about when he went bankrupt.

The final conclusion was that... after no one bought his laughter mixture, Kuroo went to the arcade and gave up on himself for almost seven days.

In these seven days, it used up all the possessions it had!

In a penniless state, Kuroo has only one choice left, and that is to continue returning to the underground arcade of the Sewing Gang.

At least it can hide in the crowd. If it stays in the hiding place and wanders around the streets, there is a high chance that it will be caught by the explorer.

Having made this decision, Kuroo did not hesitate and quickly walked downstairs and walked through several blocks to the tavern under the jurisdiction of the Sewing Gang.

There have been a lot more visitors to the tavern recently, and most of them come to the arcade underneath the Sewing Gang.

Kuroo didn't know how much money the Sewing Gang made in these seven days, but the number of arcade machines in the arcade expanded from ten to twenty, and then to thirty-seven.

Kuroo even heard that there was an arcade operated by sewing gangs in another city. Kuroo was sure... these guys really made the business big.

This is also thanks to the addiction brought by arcades and Bully.

Not to mention the game inside, just the energy absorbed when crushing the Little Overlord Original Crystal... brings about a sense of pleasure that is much better than the effect of the Laughter Mixture.

Kuroo walked into the arcade. It was no longer the same place as it was a few days ago. The people playing nearby were all sewing gangs.

There are all kinds of characters mixed in the entire arcade. A person like Kuroo who is only half the height of others should be on tenterhooks in a place like this.

But I don’t know why... Kuroo always feels that the people around him treat him with respect?

"Got you!"

A cold voice made Kuroo's hair stand on end.

It turned around and saw the scale ring of the Quest standing behind it.

Kuroo didn't know how idle the Quest organization was. If he remembered correctly, Linjie could see him in the arcade almost every day since he lost on the first day.

"This way..."

Kuroo didn't have a single game coin on him now, but he still followed the scale ring to find an empty "King of Fighters 97" arcade machine and sat down.

Scale Ring had already taken out a game coin and put it in, waiting for Kuroo to put in the coin.

"You don't want to run away, do you?" Lin Jie stared at Kuroo with cold eyes under his top hat.

"How is that possible! I can beat you with one hand!"

Kuroo's bad habit was exposed again, that is, he especially likes to ridicule when he has no confidence.

Lin Jie observed Kuroo's ink-stained expression of not inserting coins, and instantly guessed what Kuroo was hesitating about.

"You shouldn't...have no money to buy game coins, right?" Lin Jie's cold voice was like a blade sticking to Kuroo's chest.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Of course I do... I'm just looking for it!"

Kuroo knew that as soon as he admitted it, he would most likely be arrested by the Detective Agency.

"Hey! This guy has no money to buy game coins!" Lin Jie raised his voice, reminding the people watching the scene from the Sewing Gang, which meant that he was going to arrest Kuroo.

But the reminder from the scale ring caught the attention of everyone standing behind Kuroo.

"I...I'm going to buy..." When Kuroo turned around and was about to use this excuse to escape, he found that a wall of people had gathered behind him.

At some point, half of the people in the arcade gathered around Kuroo.

Just when Kuroo was about to shout for them to get out of the way, one of the strong men held a game coin in his hand and handed it to Kuroo.

Before it realized what was happening, others around it also made the same move.

"I...can take it?" Kuroo looked at this group of people suspiciously. The last thing that could happen in this city was to 'help strangers'.

But the group of people all nodded in unison, so Kuroo tentatively took away a game coin belonging to a small man who seemed to be easy to bully, and then threw it in in front of the scale ring.

"Get ready to go home!"

Kuroo has absolute confidence in his "The King of Fighters 97". As long as he gives it a chance to live, these guys from the Quest Club will not even think about taking it away today.

………………

"Business has been good recently."

Marceau leaned on a luxurious sofa, holding a cigarette in his other hand and puffing away the smoke.

"It won't be long before you're the richest man in the city."

Qiao Xiu controlled the orange cat's tail to feed dried fish into his mouth, while keeping his eyes fixed on the lazy and enchanting woman lying on the sofa.

If Shiri was present, he would have directly covered Qiao Xiu's eyes with his hands in this scene.

"The richest? In this dead city, there is no use being richer." Marceau was not very interested in Qiao Xiu's words.

"Then what are you going to do with the money?"

Qiao Xiu could hear a sense of despair in her voice.

"Escape from this city." Marceau pointed to an oil painting of rice fields posted on the wall and said, "My grandfather and grandmother used to live in a world where the sky was blue. I have never seen blue. The sky is beautiful, so I want to see it.”

"Speaking of which, the sky here has always been gray." If Qiao Xiu remembered correctly, the sky in this city has always been shrouded in dark clouds.

"Your words do sound like they come 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 think so, why don't you leave now? If you pack your luggage and take the underground passage, you will be on your way to the sea and blue sky tomorrow." Qiao Xiu said.

"As expected... an outsider." Marceau put out the cigarette in his hand. "This city is sealed. There is a terrifying magic barrier on the edge of the city. If you touch it, you will quickly wither and die... Many people have tried it. They left the city, but they all became dry bones beneath the city walls.”

"A huge prison?"

When Qiao Xiu thought about it carefully, it seemed quite reasonable. This could also be regarded as a way for the city lord to control the population loss.

"So we should completely destroy this filthy city!"

A strange voice sounded outside Marceau's lounge. She immediately sat up from the sofa, and a figure wearing a top hat and a cane walked in outside the door.

"Who are you!"

The long silver needle has appeared on the side of this woman, and will pierce into the body of the elderly figure in the next second.

"I'm here to find the person who infused the power of the gods into this raw crystal."

A raw crystal appeared in his hand, and this raw crystal was the Little Overlord... Marceau's eyes instantly looked at the orange cat squatting on the table and yawning.
