MTL - After Being Kicked Out of a Wealthy Family, She Became a Fake Daughter and Shocked the World-Chapter 560 The city lord prefers you to take over.
Fan was not surprised that Lin Wu would say the following words.
He supported his head with his fingers, glanced sideways at Lin Wu, and said unhurriedly: "Even if the city lord dies, this control will not disappear. Even if he dies, we will die with him."
"How did you know?"
Lin Wu’s heart skipped a beat.
The man became serious when he saw her, and he couldn't sit still, so he slightly twitched his lips.
“I decided on this two years ago.”
He recalled the past, organized his words, and then continued: "One night more than two years ago, an outsider came to Killer City. He came in very secretly and low-key. Mo Lang personally took him to the city lord's residence. An hour later, Leave. If I hadn’t happened to check the city defenses on the island at that time and found that most of them were closed, I wouldn’t have discovered it.”
City defense is the responsibility of the Nine Rakshasa. Lin Wu was away, so it was handed over to Mo Lang. In fact, it's not just Lin Wu's token, the City Lord's Order can also be closed.
So it could only be that the city wanted to meet that person.
“After the man left, I also found that Mo Lang left.”
"I asked people to follow him and found that he went to an unnamed island in the Indian Ocean. There was a sanatorium on the island, and there were actually some extremely vicious people in it. And Mo Lang, on the order of the city lord, killed a young man inside people."
Lin Wu unconsciously squeezed his palms and asked, "What next?"
"Mo Lang was probably in a hurry and left after taking action without confirming whether the man was really dead. But my people rescued him, put him up, and replaced him with another dead body to avoid the city lord coming back. I want to investigate his life and death again," Fan said.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Who do you think this person is?"
Lin Wu said: "How do I know?"
“He, you and I can all be considered colleagues, and we should be very familiar with each other.”
“…He is from Killer City?”
“That’s right.”
Lin Wu asked blankly: "Then why is he in that nursing home, and the city lord asked Mo Lang to kill him? Has he ever betrayed the city lord?"
"No, he just knew something he shouldn't know. But he is not as lucky as me and cannot be accommodated by the city lord." Vatican said.
"You all know the same thing...it's an ice prison!" Lin Wu reacted immediately, "There is another person who enters the back floors with you. When I checked the control of Killer City, I found that this person is very powerful and can Hold on for a few hours. Is he the one from the sanatorium?"
Fan nodded.
Lin Wu said: "But there is a record in Killer City's roster that he was executed because he failed a mission and caused great losses to Killer City. Why is he in a sanatorium?"
Fan sat up straight and said: "He really deserved to die that time. But he used what he accidentally discovered in exchange for a life. But the city lord didn't let him go and locked him up there."
"Later, after he woke up, I went out to see him and asked him what was going on. He refused to tell me. He didn't tell me until I promised to let him live that he told me that he was looking for an opportunity to escape, but the people in the nursing home Go tell the city lord, and the city lord lets Mo Lang kill him to avoid future troubles. And what he found was the ice prison."
“It turns out that he mistakenly entered the lower levels of the ice prison like me, and saw more than me.”
Fan's expression suddenly became solemn.
"He said that the seventeenth and eighteenth floors of the Ice Prison are completely different from the front. The ones in the front are all punishments, but the seventeenth floor is full of dead people. Those are the people sent in by the eight Rakshasa in front of the Killer City. Ten The eighth floor is full of darkness, and ordinary people will be in pain and embarrassment if they get close there, and will die if they can't hold on for a moment."
"He experienced this personally. He crossed the seventeenth floor and reached the entrance to the eighteenth floor. He almost died just at the entrance and could not step into the darkness inside."
“At the last moment, he was saved by the city lord.”
Lin Wu was startled: "The city lord saved him? Did he meet the city lord himself?"
Fan nodded.
Lin Wu came and was curious: "What does the city lord look like?"
Fan glanced at her faintly and said, "He doesn't know. He passed out at that time. When he woke up, he was in the castle of the city lord. He found that he didn't remember the ice prison very clearly, and he also forgot the appearance of the city lord."
"The city lord asked him what he remembered. He told the truth, and then the city lord wanted to kill him. He wanted to escape, and the city lord controlled him at that time. He found that the feeling of being controlled was the same as when he was in danger at the entrance to the 18th floor of the Ice Prison. They felt very similar to each other, and asked if what the city lord has been using to control them is the thing on the 18th floor of the Ice Prison."
“Maybe it was because he persisted for a long time that the city lord was surprised and actually answered him, saying yes.”
After hearing this, Lin Wu’s first reaction was that Fan was really lucky.
It was obvious that the city lord didn't want people to remember the events in the Ice Prison, so he tried to erase the person's memory, but failed, so he decided to kill the person. If Fan had replied to the city lord that he had really seen it, given the city lord's intention to attack Fan at that time, the city lord would have killed him directly without even giving him a chance to say more.
Thinking about what happened next, Lin Wu was suspicious: "Are you sure he didn't lie? How did I find out that the source of these controls is behind the ice wall?"
Fan said lightly: "How do you know that the deepest part of the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison is not connected to the world behind the ice wall?"
Lin Wu looked stern.
Vatican said: "The man also told me that he was restless during those years in the sanatorium and tried every means to use outside forces to kill the city lord in order to get rid of control. After the city lord knew this, he had someone tell him, even if Even if you die, your control will not disappear.”
“Because as long as the things in the eighteenth floor still exist, this thing will always exist. Don’t even think about solving it. The eighteenth floor leads to the outside of the vast ice wall, which is endless.”
"Not only that, its power is terrifying, enough to destroy a person. When the city lord was there, it was still suppressing it, and only used it as a means to control the killer's work. When the city lord is gone, it loses its suppression, and it will burst out to devour us, letting We die."
"After knowing this, he calmed down. It wasn't until the imprisoned man went crazy and wanted to escape that the city lord couldn't tolerate him anymore and asked Mo Lang to kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the room.
Lin Wu asked: "Then how was it planted in our bodies?"
Fan looked at her and said: "You may not remember that on the first day we became people in Killer City, we would all take a black thing. That's it. It will dissolve and take root in our bodies over time."
Lin Wu reached out his hand and touched his heart in a daze.
Fan saw that she seemed a little confused. He stood up and walked around the desk to squat in front of her. He patiently reassured her: "You don't have to worry. Although the city lord is dying...but I already have a way to solve this control."
Lin Wu rolled his eyes and asked, "What can I do?"
Fan looked at her.
After a long time, he spoke and said, "You."
Lin Wu was surprised: "Me?"
"I said that I heard the city lord say in the Ice Prison that he wanted to find someone to do something for him. Now I am sure that he is looking for someone to take over his position as the city lord. He will definitely pass on this kind of control. Next term." Brahma said.
Lin Wu seemed to understand: "Do you mean that the city lord is interested in me taking over? When I take over, I will ask him if there is a way to solve it. Maybe he won't hide it from me?"
Vatican Tao: "Maybe."
Lin Wu sneered: "I have defected so many times and caused so much damage to Killer City, but the city lord still wants me to succeed him? Are you crazy, or is the city lord crazy?"
Fan's meaning was unclear: "He may not have thought about letting you succeed, but you must have different meanings to him. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately exposed Ling Xiu in front of you."
"That's because the city lord wanted to use this to lure me back." Lin Wu said coldly, and then asked her to kill the man in front of her.
Fan suddenly smiled, "Don't you already know that Lingxiu is also working for me?"
Lin Wu was slightly startled, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this.
She saw it last time when Ling Xiu came over to persuade her not to stay in the room. Because the city lord said that he would not care about her, she would not do anything, and there would be no loss to the city lord. On the contrary, Fan would not.
To be honest, it’s really surprising.
I don’t know if the city lord knew that he ordered Xiu to listen to both sides.
Lin Wu asked: "Why did you ask Lingxiu to help you?"
"She didn't help me. She still listened to the city lord. She was just waiting and watching." Vatican said, "I came to her two years ago and said that I had a way to solve the control. She didn't believe it and would only help me if she saw definite hope. . We actually had no contact in the past two years. It wasn’t until the day before yesterday that I told her that it was possible for you to solve it, and she came over. "
Lin Wu frowned.
Fan continued: "But she told me something in exchange two years ago. She said that the city lord has been paying attention to you over the years and has tacitly allowed you to do many things."
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment.
Vatican said: "This is enough to show your specialness to the city lord."
For a moment, Lin Wu turned away and said coldly: "Even so, you can't expect the city lord to tell me how to solve the problem. Don't forget what Ren Ke said before he died. Your original intention was to kill me, and There are only two or three days left before your plan!"
