3rd Slanted Pipe Street.
Black Hell Banning's residence.
After killing the man, Kieran got the address of the man in the big city.
The street before Kieran's eyes was narrow and rugged. Broken stones and bricks covered the whole street, making the road look uneven. Walking on it, if one wasn't wearing leather boots, one's feet would hurt from the friction.
But even if one was wearing leather boots, one would still have to pay attention to where one stepped.
A lot of black, smelly puddles were left on the street. A slight misstep would cause one to fall to the ground.
Kieran tiptoed on the protruding edges of the broken stones and bricks. He was like a bird gliding across the water surface, swift and steady as he arrived in front of a short building.
It should be a two-storey building. There wasn't any courtyard or corridor and the door was directly facing the outside.
However, because half of the first floor of the building had sunk into the ground, the whole building looked like it was only one and a half storey tall.
If one wanted to enter the building, one would have to walk down the stairs.
Kieran lifted his head and looked at the eaves of the first floor of the roof. It was made entirely out of wood and had a slanted angle. It was covered in dark green moss and the wooden eaves looked like it was going to fall anytime soon.
Kieran didn't know how the system divided the rooms of the players.
However, he didn't like the room before him.
Just looking at it gave him a damp and disgusting feeling.
Plus the stench on the street, it made Kieran uncomfortable.
So, he hastened his steps.
He pushed the door open and walked in.
Then, Kieran was stunned on the spot.
Everything in the room had far exceeded his expectations.
There wasn't any furniture, decorations, books or anything else that should belong in the room. In the middle of the empty room was the reverse cross.
Kieran went up to the second floor in disbelief.
It was exactly the same as the first floor.
They were all empty rooms.
Penniless!
Kieran instinctively thought of the term when he saw the situation before him.
Then, more guesses popped up in his mind.
Subconsciously, he looked at the reverse cross and picked it up.
The bronze Reverse Cross was a little heavier than Kieran had expected, and the attributes of the Reverse Cross made Kieran, who had been mentally prepared, stunned once again.
[Name: Reverse Scar]
[Type: Accessory]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Attack: Strong]
[Defense: Extreme]
Attributes: 1. Demonic Spirit Language; 2. Blood Shroud; 3. Devour]
Special Effect: None

[Remark: Using it is definitely not a good idea! But it's better than death, isn't it? "
…
[Demonic Spirit Language: You need 20 minutes to summon a black veil within a hundred meters and cast the Demonic Spirit Curse on it. The cursed being will have to go through two Constitution authentication, A rank and A rank Spirit authentication. Failure to pass either will result in lethal damage.

[Devour: You can spend an additional 10000, 20000 and 30000 Points to increase the authentication difficulty of Demonic Spirit Language by 1, 2 and 3 respectively. You can spend an additional 30000 Points to increase the defense of Blood Shroud by 1 rank. If you spend 1 Golden Skill Point or 1 Golden Attribute Point, you will temporarily acquire a brand new effect of Demonic Spirit Language and Blood Shroud. If you don't have any Golden Skill Point or Golden Attribute Point, you can choose any of your five attributes to drop by 1 rank to get a corresponding effect!]
…
"As expected!"
When he saw the description of [Reverse Scar], Kieran couldn't help but let out a long breath.
His guesses from before had finally been verified.
The reason why Black Hell Banning was so weak and poor was all because of the [Reverse Scar] in his hand!
On top of that, the reason why Banning acted so selfishly was also because of the [Reverse Scar]!
Kieran could totally imagine how Banning, who had acquired the [Reverse Scar], had been devoured by the [Reverse Scar].
He knew Banning knew the danger of using the [Reverse Scar].
But sometimes, it was not up to Banning to decide.
Whether it was the dangers in the dungeon world or the enemies in the big city, Banning had no other choice.
After all, Banning was at the end of the Witch's era.
It was an era that was ten times more dangerous than the current one.
Although according to the real world time, it was only a few months ago, Kieran clearly remembered how serious Lawless was when he mentioned the word "era".
He didn't mock Lawless.
Because what the Witch had done could really be called an era by the later generations.
However, at the same time when the Witch was created …
More than that …
Sorrow!
The sorrow of being in the same era as the truly powerful ones!
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't catch up to the despair of the Witch's back.
Even though Banning was one of the Supernovas only second to the Witch, although he was looked up to by normal players, what was his real side?
Kieran glanced over Banning's room once more.
It was hard for him to imagine what kind of feeling Banning was in such an empty room.
Or was he howling in despair?
Or was he drinking poison to quench his thirst with the [Reverse Scar]?
Unimaginable, Kieran took another glance at the [Reverse Scar] and placed it on his belt, which was within easy reach. He then turned around and walked out of the room.
The room was too uncomfortable for him.
He didn't want to stay a second longer.
He didn't go back to the rooms of the players he killed.
Kieran knew Broker would not give him a chance, plus he was in a weakened state. Should a fight break out, it would be too disadvantageous for him.
So, after walking out of Pipe Street, Kieran boarded the only transportation in the big city: the train.
After keying in Wallway Street to the train conductor, Kieran leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. His big backpack was placed beside his feet.
He closed his eyes to rest while thinking about how he should approach Starbeck.
In the end, Kieran chose the direct way.
2567: I need your help.
Starbeck:?
2567: Lawless is in big trouble in the real world, he needs some extra help. I can't do it, but you can!
Starbeck: What do you mean?
2567: If you are willing to help Lawless, I can help you clear two dungeon worlds safely.
...
Two dungeon worlds was what Kieran gave after careful consideration.
It couldn't be too little or it would seem insincere.
It couldn't be too high or it would affect his growth.
So, two as the starting point and three as the ending point was what Kieran wanted the most.
Of course, everything depended on Starbeck.
He had the initiative now.
Even if it was a little too much, Kieran would still agree.
After around 10 seconds, Starbeck replied.
However, Starbeck's reply made Kieran frown.
