Poison Body / CANCELLED 7 Blooming City Part 2

'This is too strange, because they build their houses and businesses on flowers. Another really strange thing is its color, when I look at it it gives me a slight chill, it's similar to the sensation that the tentacles of the lake caused me, only that this one is more chilling" Frowning, Riley stops looking at the flowers and walks by the streets of the city.

'First I need a place to spend the night and eat something, for a while I felt a bit of an empty stomach, the problem is that I probably need money to meet these goals...' Riley looks at the people of the city and realizes that each person's skin is very pale.

'It should not be strange that his skin is so pale, it is most likely the basic appearance of everyone in this city, as on earth that people from all continents have different facial features and skin color' Riley thinks this while Stop looking at these people.

Riley walks down some streets until he stops at a building with a sign that says [Gun store], walks through a giant black petalo, which is the only way to access the door of the store.

'It feels really strange, it's like walking in old wood that is soon going to break' Riley enters the store, sees that there are swords of all sizes and types hanging from the walls of the store. Interestingly, I only found some daggers and bows, but they are very normal, nothing compared to the swords, which have elegant designs and there are many of them.

Look around, see that there is an old man sitting behind the counter looking at him silently, this old man also has a very pale skin, almost unhealthy color, his eyes are quite dry, his expression is off, as if he could not smile or be sad.

Riley walks over to where the old man is and says "Hi, can I know where I can earn some money in this city? What I mean is if there is a place where you can get a job?"

"..." The old man seems not to have heard something of what Riley says and keeps looking at him.

Riley seeing this makes an expression of confusion, but still talking to the old man "I am a newcomer, I do not know anything about the city, so it would be very useful if you gave me information of where I can get money or at least a place where I can stay and get food, although I do not think there is such a place without having to give money"

The old man finally opens his mouth and says: "Zarium Street, there is a building in poor condition that is under the care of a friend, you can stay in that place since it is made for travelers to stay..." The voice of the old man It is very hoa.r.s.e, almost as if talking was about to break her throat.

"Oh, and why do they receive travelers in that place for free?" I ask Riley the old man.

"You do not need to know that, just go" Says the old man.

"...Okay, can you at least tell me the name of the owner of the building?" Riley asks another question.

"Sadie" The old man replies as he closes his eyes.

"Thank you, I have one last question, can you tell me why they built buildings on these flowers?" Riley asks and looks at the old man with closed eyes.

"..." The old man says nothing, in fact, if you look closely, his body does not seem to move at all, as if he were dead.

Riley, seeing that the old man does not seem to intend to talk anymore, leaves the store and starts looking for Zarium Street. Looking at the wooden signs that are placed on each corner, which indicate the name of each street, Riley soon finds Zarium Street.

'He said that in a building in disrepair... It must be this' Riley looks for the building that the old man told him and in fact seems to be the only building in such a bad state of the whole Zarium street.

'Now that I think about it, the letters on the posters for some reason I can read them, the language in which they speak I can understand it very well and when I speak it it is familiar to me as if it spoke my previous language... How strange, although it does not matter much, it must be something from this body or from the game's menu' Riley stops thinking about that and enters Sadie's building.

"How strange, the flower in Sadie's building is dark red" Riley stops looking at the flower under his feet and knocks on the door of the building.

"Knock Knock"

The door opens and a girl very different from the people of the city appears, her skin reveals enough vitality, in addition to having a nice smile on her face and innocent eyes that look at Riley.

"Oh sir, from what I see that you are a traveler, is not it?" The girl says

Riley is surprised that a girl opens the door, but remembering the function of the building soon seems logical since it is quite obvious that the girl must be from outside the city like him and is also here because someone told the family of the girl about this place that receives free travelers.

"I am, they told me that in this place they receive travelers and that you do not have to pay anything to stay and eat here" Riley tells the girl as she smiles.

"He's right, sir! Grandma Sadie, although she does not talk much, treats us quite well, brings us delicious food and gave us a comfortable room" The girl tells Riley and invites him in.

"By the way, sir, what's your name? It's kind of weird to call him sir, hehehe." The girl asks Riley while laughing.

"My name is Riley and yours, miss?" Riley looking around the building says to the girl.

"Riley is a good name, I've never heard it, ah, and my name is Adeline" says Adeline.

While Riley and Adeline talk, they suddenly hear some footsteps from someone walking down the stairs of the building that leads to the second floor.
