Chapter 335: Chapter 266: Safe Zone_2

"Providing intelligence?" Sheraya furrowed his brows immediately, "We are destined to fight to the death as enemies, so why would you want to help us?"

"Ah... that’s right." Renji Tenkai said, "Even though we’re all Blue Star people, we have to fight each other to the death because of some nonsensical Analog Horror. I’m really not fond of that."

"..." Naturally, Sheraya couldn’t be moved by just a few words from Renji Tenkai. He questioned again, "So, you don’t plan to actively deal with the Analog Horror? Even if it means your own death, your Country will suffer greatly? And... if it’s feasible, we can also kill you right here!"

"Uh, about that..." Renji Tenkai’s expression remained unchanged, "I’m not really sure what to do, it’s really troublesome. Anyway, there’s a month’s time, when the month’s deadline is almost up, then I’ll think about what to do... I suppose it won’t be too late, right?"

"Oh?" Fei Ye smiled faintly, "Your statement, it has quite the distinctive demoralized quality of a Lighthouse Country person, I just wonder, how much of it is true, and how much is false?"

"At least I myself believe these words are heartfelt, and... I’ve heard Xiao Yi’s powers have been sealed. So, I’ll give you a piece of advice, don’t try to take me on. It’s for your own good."

With his expression unchanged, Renji Tenkai’s tone was also flat, as if he was stating something obvious.

"..." Hearing this, Sheraya couldn’t help but begin to size up this sudden, enigmatic individual.

He was pondering how much truth there was in Renji Tenkai’s words.

If his abilities were indeed as he claimed, then his words were likely true; after all, there was no need for him to have such a cordial conversation with someone weaker than himself when he could simply take the Core.

"..." And while Sheraya was hesitating, Fei Ye directly asked, "So, where is this place you mentioned?"

Renji Tenkai looked at Fei Ye and said, "Thank you for the trust."

"It’s not trust, it’s just curiosity, to see if what you’re saying is true," Fei Ye said, "So... can you tell us now?"

"...It’s a casino," Renji Tenkai said.

"Casino?" Xiao Yi puzzled, "Isn’t that supposed to be a very dangerous place? One could easily lose their life on a gamble, and... do they have a place to sleep there? On the card tables?"

"No, not exactly," Renji Tenkai explained, "It’s not dangerous because it is an officially designated safe zone, a place specifically set up where fighting and seizing are not permitted, that can effectively ensure the safety of the Chosen Ones. There are special residences and a reliable supply of food and drink."

"Oh? There’s such a good place? However... there are no free lunches in this world," Xiao Yi said at this point, "So... what’s the price?"

"...Is it the Core?" Fei Ye said, "I reckon only the Core could be valuable enough for that, right?"

"That’s correct," Renji Tenkai nodded, "You have to pay a certain amount of Cores to enter that safe zone."

"Cores, huh? Indeed, we do have some Cores... What do you think, Fei Ye?" Xiao Yi asked Fei Ye.

"Eh? Why ask her?" Sheraya seemed somewhat dissatisfied, "Are you saying... her opinion is the main thing?"

"Hm? Isn’t that obvious?" Xiao Yi said, "After all, she is the team leader. Who else should make decisions if not her?"

"..." Sheraya was silent.

"Thank you." Fei Ye smiled at Xiao Yi, then turned to Renji Tenkai and asked, "So, tell us the specific location, will you?"

"I understand," Renji Tenkai nodded, "the specific location of that casino, is in..."

Tenkai Renji had informed Xiao Yi and his group of the specific location, then, as if having completed his task, said no more and left.

At this moment, Xiao Yi and his two companions had no idea where to go, so they decided to head to the place Tenkai Renji had mentioned to see for themselves.

As they traveled to the destination, Sheraya couldn’t help but ask Fei Ye, "Do you... really trust what he said? What if it’s a trap, and he’s deliberately luring us there?"

"Who would set up such a complicated trap?" Fei Ye replied, "Besides, that guy clearly stated that it’s an official safe zone, there must be rules forbidding violence and theft, not to mention the vastness of the place. It’s obvious that one glance would reveal the truth. He wouldn’t need to tell a lie that’s so easily debunked."

"So, do you think everything he said is true? Do you trust him?" Sheraya asked again.

"We can assume what he said is true, but..." Fei Ye went on, "I’m only saying that his words are true, that doesn’t mean I completely trust him as a person. Rather... he’s dangerous. It’s better not to trust him."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Have you noticed?" Fei Ye said, "He doesn’t have his teammates with him. According to the rules, one can’t go solo without their teammates... which means, those two teammates of his who weren’t present are probably dead."

"...Are you suggesting that he killed his own teammates?"

"Whether his teammates were killed by him or by someone else, the fact that he can wander around unscathed and casually share the information about the safe zone with others suggests he’s not a simple character. He’s least likely to be as indifferent to everything as he described himself. Perhaps... he wants us to go to that safe zone for his own benefit, not truly out of a desire to help us."

"...Really?" Sheraya frowned, "Given that, should we still follow his suggestion and head to the safe zone?"

"Of course." Fei Ye nodded, "If there’s a safe zone, there’s no reason not to go. Although it will deplete the Core, if it ensures real safety in this perilous Ruined City, then it’s worth it. Plus, you wouldn’t want Xiao Yi to be constantly in danger, unable to even sleep well, right?"

"..." Looking at Xiao Yi, who was yawning and uninterested in the conversation, Sheraya nodded immediately, "That’s... true."

In the midst of their conversation, they had unconsciously arrived in front of the casino.

It was nearing nightfall, and the dizzying rotation of neon lights perfectly complemented the unique atmosphere of the casino.

The casino itself was designed with an overarching sense of luxury and prestige.

What first caught their eyes was a golden gate adorned with opulent crystal decorations, reflecting a captivating flash of light.

"This is the place, let’s go in and take a look."

Pushing open the gate, they were greeted by a spacious and brightly-lit lobby.

The floor was laid with smooth marble tiles, and the high ceiling was adorned with exquisite chandeliers and frescoes.

At the same time, there was someone waiting at a counter by the entrance.

Seeing that person, Xiao Yi and his companions were assured that, regardless of whether this was an absolute safe zone, it was definitely an official stronghold.

Because that person waiting there was none other than Mr. Ke, whom Xiao Yi and his group had encountered before.
