Yin Xiu reached out and pinched one of the little tentacle balls. "If you saw them, would you want to stay with your kind?"
The little tentacle ball froze for a moment, then shook its head and asked, "W-why?"
Yin Xiu lowered his eyes, staring at the tentacle ball stuck to his shoulder. "If you hadn't appeared in our world, perhaps you should be with them. In human terms, yes, homesick?"
"Hmm...?" The little tentacle ball struggled to think with its limited brain. "My boyfriend is... my home... I'm not... familiar with them!"
When Yin Xiu learned that there were many gods in this world, and many beings like Li Mo, a fourth option came to mind.
The wandering god returned to its kin with its mutated monsters. There was no need for sealing or long periods of solitude. It could stay with its companions who were just like it, except that it would be missing Yin Xiu, the little human who would soon disappear from its life.
But Yin Xiu quickly rejected this idea.
The little tentacle ball needs him, and he will also leave the monster. If possible, they will try to find a fifth or sixth option, but they will never choose this one.
"The gods here are so good..." The little tentacle dumpling didn't realize that Yin Xiu was thinking so much, and was looking at the believers on the street with emotion.
"They have many believers, and these believers adore them... Unlike me, I have no believers who adore me..."
The gods here are relied upon and loved by the believers. After the gods disappeared, the believers were at a loss and still waited for the gods to return.
Is this really true for Li Mo, who has been sealed away alone in the long darkness for years?
Do believers really love their gods that much?
Its little head couldn't comprehend all the factors involved; it only felt envy.
Yin Xiu reached out, hooked a small, tufted tentacle that was resting on his shoulder, and kissed the tip of the tentacle. "I am also your believer, and I love you very much."
The little tentacle ball's already limited brain suddenly went blank, then it became excitedly waving its arms and legs, each eye radiating passionate love towards Yin Xiu, "Boyfriend! I like him too!"
Its tentacles twitched, hugging Yin Xiu's head and nibbling at his face. If her boyfriend kissed her, she would kiss him back many times!
"Alright, alright." Yin Xiu tilted his head, pushing away the enthusiastic little tentacle ball. He couldn't even walk because his head was being held, and the pedestrians on the road were already showing expressions of horror.
Seeing a man with a large, twisted, and terrifying monster wrapped around his head, I thought his head had been bitten off. I was so scared that I fell to the ground and almost screamed.
If Yin Xiu hadn't pulled the little tentacle ball away in time, there would have been another piece of news in Twin Cities tomorrow.
Shocking! A terrifying monster that can devour people's heads has appeared in Twin Cities!
Yin Xiu glanced down at the map. Although the city he was randomly assigned to was rather unremarkable to him, he did learn some background information about this world from it.
The status of gods, the disappearance of gods, the major cities, and the existence of priests.
But in a sense, this peaceful twin city was rather bland to him. He only drew his sword once on the first day he arrived, and he killed everyone in one go. After that, he had no obstacles and lacked the danger and chaos of the other world that he had been looking forward to.
Thinking of the utter chaos of the Forgotten City he was about to visit, his hand unconsciously clenched on the scabbard.
People who have been immersed in killing for a long time are like this: even when they retire, the bloodlust buried deep in their hearts will not disappear, especially if they have made full preparations before coming here.
"Let's go to the City of Oblivion." Yin Xiu said as he calmed himself down and walked out of the Twin Cities.
On the other side, Zhong Mu, who woke up this morning, discovered something that looked very familiar and was terrifying.
He stared intently at Li Mo sitting beside him, "Boss, where's my Butterfly Communicator?"
Li Mo turned her head and smiled slightly, "I'll take it."
"Where did you take it?"
Without hesitation, Li Mo replied, "I gave it to my boyfriend."
Zhong Mu: ?!
He had been a cheerful and optimistic man for most of his life, but this was the first time he had felt the urge to strangle a non-human creature.
"Big Boss! You took it! How am I supposed to contact Boss Yin Xiu now? I'm just a pitiful and helpless nobody! How am I supposed to live without Boss Yin Xiu?!" Zhong Mu choked up. Although he also had Boss Ye's communicator, in this chaotic city, only the God of Slaughter could make him feel safe.
"Your boyfriend told me to protect you." Li Mo stared unmoved at his scream. "I won't let you die."
Zhong Mu choked up, "As long as you're not dead, that's fine, right? Even being half-crippled counts as not being dead."
Before he could even wail to Boss Ye, he heard the faint sound of footsteps from nearby. Startled, Zhong Mu immediately fell silent and nervously huddled under the bridge.
Yes, he and Li Mo hid under the bridge last night.
Li Mo could eat up all those chaotic people, but Zhong Mu couldn't let Li Mo eat them.
With tears welling up in his eyes, he pulled out a rule sheet he had previously received from his pocket.
[Rules of the Forgotten City:]
The Forgotten City is a cursed land, a gathering place for the pitiful. We are all forgotten by the world, we are all wanderers.
We can only rely on each other, we can only depend on each other.
Let us abide by the rules of the Forgotten City, break the curse, and build a new home.
Rule 1 of the Forgotten City: The Forgotten City is a peaceful paradise. God has bestowed power upon this place, and killing is not allowed within the city. Violent people will be forgotten.
Rule Two: If you find that others' memories of you are fading, you must soak in the waterway for an hour. The power of God will protect you.
Rule 3: Dusk will be the most dangerous time in the Forgotten City. Be careful of everything you see. Remember, no one will forget you. Think of the people who are important to you.
Rule Four: The greater the resentment in the Forgotten Lands, the stronger the curse. At all times, residents of the Forgotten Lands, please maintain a good mood; you yourselves are the best antidote.
Rule Five: Believe in God, have faith in God, and God is with you.
Zhong Mu stared at the fifth rule and sighed. Although that's what the rule says, in reality, after the god disappeared, the City of Oblivion was in utter chaos, and they even forgot what the god's name was.
According to Zhong Mu's understanding, the city is located in a terrible place. The land itself has a forgetting effect. If you stay here for a long time, you will be forgotten. Violent people will also be gradually forgotten by others. And the chaotic and crazy people on the street now are actually people who have broken down.
Before the gods disappeared, under the protection of power, they had a perfect paradise.
After God disappeared, all those who loved him forgot themselves, and everyone on the street was searching for their past.
In extreme circumstances, people who resort to violence are, in a sense, actively seeking death.
