At the west gate of Ussuri City, countless players are bustling in and out, creating a busy and lively scene.
Even though it’s nighttime, Ussuri City is still illuminated brightly, resembling daylight.
Lin Yi and his group are mingling with a crowd of players, preparing to enter the city.
At this time, Lin Yi and the others have already changed into equipment characteristic of the Indonesia War Zone.
Naturally, the provider of this equipment was Haji, who was saved by Lin Yi in Sinful Forest.
Upon arriving, Tian Ci and others had a direct impression that the black players here are at least twice the number of the yellow-skinned players, of course mixed with some white people.
Moreover, it is quite noticeable that the black players here do not look very friendly at Lin Yi and his team, including Haji.
"Once inside the city, it’s best not to stare at the black players, especially the women."
This was Haji’s advice to Lin Yi and his team before entering the city.
So, at this moment, Tian Ci and the others kept their heads down, though Lin Yi and his team tried to dress like the local players to keep a low profile.
But trouble still actively came their way.
A few black players stopped Zhang Xinying and Dongfang Jing in their tracks, faces full of mockery:
"Stop, take off your hats and let me see your faces."
While speaking, a black Warrior reached out to lift the hood of Zhang Xinying, and a black Mage attempted to remove the hat hiding Dongfang Jing’s features.
Tian Ci was about to make a move but was stopped by Lin Yi’s hand:
Wang Zixin fearfully clutched Zhang Xinying’s hand, looking apprehensively at these menacing black players.
Lin Yi frowned, eyes fierce, glaring at these disgusting black men.
Just as Lin Yi was about to make a move, Haji suddenly pushed Lin Yi aside, quickly standing in front of the two women, addressing the black players:
"Sorry, friends, we are in a rush to complete a task, this pouch of gold coins is a small token, please don’t mind."
Saying this, he handed a pouch of gold coins to the black players, seemingly containing at least a hundred pieces.
The black players, upon seeing the gold coins, their eyes gleamed with excitement, swiftly taking the pouch, then impatiently waving to the group:
"Hurry up and get out."
The black Warrior holding the coins exclaimed excitedly:
"Let’s go, exchange these for some money."
The remaining black players followed behind, entering the city with excitement.
Tian Ci and others were wide-eyed:
"Wow, this is a game! And there are still such things happening here?"
Shuai Diaozha couldn’t help but shake his head:
"That was eye-opening, truly a bunch of lazy and inferior races."
After dealing with the black men, Haji asked Zhang Xinying and Dongfang Jing:
Zhang Xinying shook her head, indicating:
"I’m fine, thank you."
The face hidden under Dongfang Jing’s hat remained as cold as ever, showing no response to the black men’s rude behavior.
However, Lin Yi still noticed Dongfang Jing’s slightly raised hand, seemingly understanding that this woman is not as calm as she appears.
Seeing everything was fine, Haji told Lin Yi’s group:
"That’s how it is here, if you don’t deal with them, although the system offers protection, they will still use various ways to harass you endlessly."
Lin Yi told the women:
"You walk in the middle."
Then several men surrounded the three women in the middle, entering the city safely.
As one of the six main cities of the Indonesia War Zone, Ussuri City is as prosperous as Hua Country’s main cities like Vermilion Bird City and White Tiger City.
And because of the racial differences, when Lin Yi and the others walked into here, there was a feeling of entering a cosmopolitan metropolis.
In the Indonesia War Zone, the Centaur race is their favorite, followed by Ah San’s favored Minotaur, with the newly opened Titan and Winged races ranking behind.
So once Lin Yi and his group entered the city, they found Ussuri City akin to an animal grand park, teeming with Centaur professions and various Minotaurs.
Haji led Lin Yi’s group, choosing paths through secluded city alleys, heading toward the coordinates given by Lin Yi.
This was one of the main reasons Lin Yi needed Haji as a guide.
During this time, Haji continually expressed the affection of the Wenlai people towards Hua Country.
There is even a consensus within the Wenlai gaming circle for the future:
When national wars open with border access, Wenlai players will unhesitatingly head to the Hua Country War Zone for development, instead of staying in this discriminative and competitive Indonesia War Zone.
Soon, Haji brought Lin Yi and his group to an outwardly decrepit residential house:
"Here, this is the place you were looking for."
Haji curiously asked:
"This is the most famous Haunted House in Ussuri City, what are you planning to do here?"
"If it’s inconvenient to say, it’s okay not to answer."
Tian Ci and others looked curiously at the rundown and desolate small wooden house, astonished:
Compared to surrounding buildings, this house looked strikingly out of place.
The surroundings were tall, blue-brick and red-tile buildings, while this was a wooden structure, seemingly dilapidated due to lack of maintenance.
"An Undead lives inside, everyone who visits Ussuri City knows about this place."
"Initially, many people thought there must be a hidden task here, but no matter how they tried, they couldn’t receive any information from the Undead within."
"Over time, it became the most famous ’Haunted House’ in Ussuri City."
"An Undead resides inside?"
The crowd was amazed, then they all turned their focus to Lin Yi:
"What do you think, should we go in?"
Lin Yi confirmed several times that the map coordinates and task coordinates were consistent, telling the group:
"You wait outside; I’ll go in and have a look myself."
At this moment, Zhang Xinying jogged over to Lin Yi, advising:
Lin Yi helplessly tapped Zhang Xinying’s delicate nose, amused:
"It makes sense for others to fear it, but what are you afraid of?"
Beside Zhang Xinying, the Werewolf Prophet couldn’t help but roll his eyes:
"Why do I feel like you’re talking about me?"
Lin Yi smiled noncommittally; it was pretty obvious.
The so-called Undead are just spirits of the deceased that haven’t dissipated, and although the Werewolf Prophet currently exists as an Artifact Spirit, in essence, he’s not much different from an Undead.
Zhang Xinying remained unmoved, saying:
"Anyway, be careful yourself."
Though it’s just a game, humans’ fear of the unknown is instinctive and unchangeable.
Lin Yi nodded in agreement:
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."
Then he took advantage of the moonlight, slowly approaching the somewhat decrepit house. Updates are released by novel·fıre·net
