MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 140

What kind of person's lies are least likely to be suspected?

The weak, the harmless, the ones who seem so helpless and need to be helped...For the weak, the hunters don't always pay too much attention, thinking that the other party can't hurt themselves, so they relax their vigilance.

Like Isalia.

She perfectly fits all the characteristics that do not attract people's attention. She is as weak as a flower that will be broken by the wind. Everyone who sees her can't help but think, if she leaves the protection from her father, what will she do? How to survive in a dangerous and embarrassing situation.

No one would doubt that what Isalia said, what she said while crying helplessly, would be taken as the truth.

—That is, the anger and helplessness of a daughter who was betrayed by her father.

Lost lamb, people can't help but feel pity.

Although Chi Yiyin has not let down his vigilance against Isalia, after the system prompts, he still thinks that this matter has formed a closed loop and can be resolved, so put it aside, the danger of the Mirror Palace and how to leave the problem, and start again. occupied his mind.

It's like being submitted a full-score answer sheet, and the grades have already come down, so how can you still doubt the authenticity of the answer.

until just now.

There was a huge vibration and roar in the mirror palace, and Chi Yiyin happened to think of those dead workers and their families at that time.

This made him stunned for a moment, and then the sense of disobedience that had been faintly before finally came to his mind clearly.

He realized that he had habitually ignored a problem.

After Chi Yiyin got a list of casualties from the tavern, she went to the homes of the family members who were still alive with everyone in the tavern, persuading them to start a resistance against Tangjia City with everyone in the tavern, fighting for their own right to survive, and even more so. To avenge the dead.

However, the journey of persuasion has not been smooth.

Not everyone wants to fight for themselves and those around them.

Most people hesitated, struggled, and even resented Chi Yiyin and others who came to their door, complaining that they threw this difficult problem to them and forced them to make a choice.

They don't want to resist, thinking that this will anger the powerful and make their otherwise decent life worse.

Although you have to work for more than ten hours a day to have food, and although your family members will be killed by demons, but you can still live if you cut down on food and clothing, can't you?

Although the black bread is difficult to swallow, it can also feel full when washed into the stomach with water.

Although the water always has a strange taste and color, it can always quench your thirst.

Although everyone was dissatisfied with the dignitaries, and saw that some acquaintances on the street and in the factory were taken away by the lackeys of the dignitaries, and their life and death were unknown, but they were not the ones who were taken away. Haven't they been in trouble now?

Surviving one more day is much better than offending the powerful and having no way out, right?

Many people thought this way, and in turn scolded Chi Yiyin and others for bringing the disaster to their doorstep.

They don't want to pursue the death of their family members, and they don't care that the powerful extract benefits from themselves.

As long as there is still a mouthful of food to eat, even if it is unpalatable and not enough to eat, it is still alive, isn't it?

Some people also persuaded Chi Yiyin in turn, telling him that the young man should not be too hot-tempered, otherwise he will suffer a lot.

Anyway, it has always been like this in Tangjia City. Their ancestors have survived and raised their children like this for generations. If it continues like this, what's wrong with it?

At that time, the people in the tavern and Victor were very angry.

But those people, despite the persuasion of everyone in the tavern, waved their hands in fear and closed the doors and windows tightly.

At that time, Li Sijun saw everything in his eyes, and told Chi Yiyin plainly about the eight thousand years of history.

The prophet who rescued the slaves was scolded by the slaves, thinking that eating dry and hard black bread under the hands of the slave masters was much better than looking for a new home in the desert without knowing his life or death.

free? They don't care about freedom, and even rejoice that they don't need to use their brains to think and worry about what to eat tomorrow, and how to make difficult choices.

It is obviously a great gift for slave owners to think and make decisions for them!

"Eight thousand years and eight thousand years, the world has never changed."

Li Sijun sneered.

Even if Chi Yiyin wasn't by his side, he would definitely turn around and leave without giving those people a look.

However, Chi Yiyin changed his method of persuasion after a short thought.

"Your world will crash before the last ray of darkness disappears before dawn tomorrow."

He said: "Tangjia City will kill you, the dignitaries have abandoned you, and at dawn, they will plunder everyone's life and make their own wealth. This is a plan that has been formulated three years ago—the Crystal Palace of All Nations, It is the proof of the plan. The serial murder case is the truth that kills you."

fake.

But the evidence given by Chi Yiyin is strong enough.

He cleverly used people's resentment towards the Crystal Palace of All Nations and speculation about the serial murders that people had already born on their own, based on people's psychology, distorted the truth and rationalized the structure, making it show a completely different result in the end .

Yet so true, plausible, and convincing.

People only believe what they want to believe. They often doubt and question other people's conclusions, but they firmly believe in their own conclusions.

Chi Yiyin just let the seed in their hearts bloom successfully.

He told people that tonight was the last battle of life and death.

There is no way out.

— Do you want to take care of your future? Do you think that now is not the time to make a choice, and you can let the situation continue to develop, watch the death of others with a cold eye and be glad that it was not your own death?

You think that death will never be your turn, so no matter how bad and unreasonable it is, it is all with your five senses.

Yeah?

Now is the moment when you must make a choice.

—or stay at home and die at dawn.

Or, fight for yourselves.

Under Chi Yiyin's words, those people looked terrified, and they didn't understand why they had suffered such a disaster.

And Chi Yiyin looked pitifully, showing everyone Victor who was released from prison.

The tower fell.

overthrown by us.

Therefore, the dignitaries regard this as a declaration of war against them, and therefore demand a price from you.

"It's too late to be angry with me. The butcher's knife has been sharpened. Does the lamb waiting to be slaughtered have the courage to escape from the cage?"

Chi Yiyin's directional persuasion and Victor's evidence made people finally make up their minds and fight to the death.

As for Chi Yiyin, he realized what he had missed only after recalling this incident.

Why was Isalia... being persuaded to reveal everything about the Santo?

Is it because she looks far less resolute than the people of Tangjia City? The flowers in the greenhouse have never seen wind and rain, so they will be easily intimidated by danger?

Can the character and concept formed over a long period of time really be completely reversed overnight?

Especially when Isalia was out of danger, away from the angry crowd, under the protection of Chi Yiyin and others.

Chi Yiyin quietly raised her eyes, looking at the mirror palace in front of her.

Isalia's figure had already disappeared completely, and her whereabouts were unknown.

Chi Yiyin's own figure is reflected in the surrounding mirrors and crystal sections.

Either angry or laughing, immature or indifferent.

All his experiences in the past twenty-three years seemed to be projected out of a revolving lantern, and reflected in every mirror in the Palace of Mirrors.

As for Chi Yiyin, he asked himself in his heart.

— Sue death.

When the system says death, is it announcing death to others, or is it saying that "I" is in the mirror, showing myself the future of death.

In a certain mirror, Chi Yiyin saw the blood-covered "self" lying on his back, with his dull eyes gradually freezing in the pool of blood.

The light is constantly refracting and changing, and all the formed images are changing and changing, and they become the "future" that he doesn't understand.

He saw the flames falling from the tower, the flag of Tangjia City collapsed in the fierce flames, thick smoke billowed in the streets and alleys, the brilliant Crystal Palace had become a mess of fragments, the dignitaries died in the streets and ditches, but people The dispute is not over yet.

But in another mirror, people's bodies were thrown into the river by the guards, and the streets were washed with blood. When the sun rose again, Tangjia City was silent and there was no voice, as if everyone except the dignitaries had died.

The death of the powerful, the failure of the people, or the death of both parties, or the endless struggle and consumption...

Every mirror is flashing a different future.

Chi Yiyin, who is in it, seems to be standing at a fork in the fate of the world, and every different choice he makes will lead to a different ending.

Since Chi Yiyin triggered the task "For Whom the Bell Tolls", the ending of the entire dungeon is closely related to the future of the game field.

Should it just be destroyed, or find a way to reality in desperation...

The difficult choice was all on Chi Yiyin's shoulders.

But what he was thinking in his heart at this time was just the fact that he already knew from the beginning.

—The system will conceal and not report.

It doesn't lie.

Therefore, Isalia's trust in him is true, and what she said to him is also true.

But... the system never said that Isalia knew everything and told him all the truth she knew.

The prompts from the system, even the triggered tasks and the prompts in the name, cannot be used as sufficient evidence to guarantee Isalia.

Isalia didn't say anything about the inside of Mirror Palace.

But the crisis of their group has intensified in vain since they entered the Mirror Palace.

If they can't find a way to leave the Palace of Mirrors safely, all of them will die here, on top of...every corpse and coffin, and become members of the Human Sacrifice Pillar.

The life that was supposed to resist the powerful has instead become a brick for the powerful to protect their wealth.

How ironic...like those gargoyles.

It was a torture that was more terrifying than death, and it made people hate it even if they thought about it for a while.

Chi Yiyin sneered, the body that had been standing still for a long time finally moved again, turned around and looked forward again.

"Isalia, she really gave us a big problem."

He murmured in a low voice, but knowing that he was being concealed, he didn't show any anger on his expression, instead he laughed.

"how?"

Li Sijun asked with a light smile, "Does Yinyin have any problems that cannot be solved?"

"If you must get an answer, the whole world, all the time, I am encountering problems."

Chi Yiyin looked up at Li Sijun.

Amidst the huge roar coming from behind, he calmly said to Li Sijun: "I also live in this world where human beings exist everywhere. In this point, all people are the same,—everyone They are all having problems.”

Whether it's him, those female workers, the people at the bottom, or... Chi Yan, who in his opinion is close to a dragon-like existence.

It's just that for some people, if the problem cannot be solved, it becomes a ghost gate.

And some people, they see the problem, then solve the problem, continue to move forward, encounter it again, and solve it again...

"The scary thing is not to solve problems, but to not even encounter a single problem in your life. Life is like stagnant water, without waves."

There was a smile on Chi Yiyin's lips, knowing that he was in danger, but still smiling happily.

"For me...a life with problems is interesting. In the game field, you can't guess what kind of danger you will encounter tomorrow, but this is what I like."

"If life has no waves and you can see the end at a glance, how boring it would be."

He raised his head and said with a smile, "If I write a novel in which the main character's life is smooth, then maybe I can change my career."

Li Sijun laughed softly, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Yes, you have forgotten your own profession. What about me, Yinyin, am I also one of your inspirations?"

Chi Yiyin: "...No. If you must be my inspiration and get a place in my novel, then I suggest you apply for a villain."

His expression was extremely sincere: "The kind that was killed by the dragon slayer boy as a dragon."

There was a smile in Li Sijun's eyes.

Before he could say anything, the emergency system had already been triggered.

[God Li Sijun, according to the "rules", there is currently a possibility of leaking the truth to the marker Chi Yiyin, the prophecy has been learned by the marker Chi Yiyin, and the emergency regulations will...]

[Do you count wisdom and keen perception as the scope of leakage? 】

Li Sijun responded casually, and his attention was more on Chi Yiyin.

【You want to protect life in the world, but don't give hope to their wisdom, just like chickens and ducks in captivity, protect them with fences so that they lose all the rights to see the sky? 】

He smiled: [If this is the case, then I can admit defeat to the "rules" now-it seems that the world situation caused by your victory is worse than destruction, but it is more satisfying to me. 】

The emergency system was stunned, and then said nothing.

The database behind it was crazily calculated, and countless possibilities were pushed out and rejected. The only possibility that was pushed to the solution was marked with a bright red cross, clearly showing the correctness of Li Sijun's words.

【You mean...】

The emergency system is back online: [Marker Chi Yiyin, has he already deduced what the prophet once said? 】

Li Sijun shrugged: [Obviously, I am not your subordinate, so I have no obligation to answer your questions. 】

Just at this time, Chi Yiyin also asked the system, interrupting Li Sijun's conversation with the system, but made the system breathe a long sigh of relief, breaking free from the fear of offending the gods and shaking the "rules".

Although it was short-lived to take over the game field, the emergency system has gradually seen the depth of Chi Yiyin's influence on Li Sijun, and it also understands why when it first went online, it is now locked in the system of the small black room. Will be so haggard.

— They were all sandwiched between Chi Yiyin and Li Sijun, driven crazy.

The level of intelligence far exceeds the scope of human beings, like an incomprehensible monster, which makes everyone who sees the monster feel terrified.

Including emergency management systems.

But at the same time, it also understood the previous prophecy and the reason why Li Sijun was so special to Chi Yiyin.

That is, the bright soul that has never been possessed by the world is destined to change the world and embark on a road that no one has ever traveled.

The emergency system looked at Chi Yiyin, and even had the illusion of seeing Li Sijun in a trance.

It was not until Chi Yiyin's problem appeared that the emergency system was restarted.

[You reminded me before that the important NPC Isalia gave me trust, and even triggered the confrontation between the opposing camps, which led to the emergence of new achievements. 】

Chi Yiyin's voice was cold, but determined: [But what you didn't say is that Isalia has other plans, right? Her camp is still powerful in Tangjia City, and has not changed. 】

The emergency system is still the same mechanical voice: [Survivor Chi Yiyin, the system has never said what the important NPC itself thinks. All the inferences are your own speculations as a survivor, so you need to bear the consequences of right and wrong. 】

[This system is only a tool for you to understand the game field, and it is absolutely impossible to become a way for you to obtain the game field, please understand. 】

Chi Yiyin hooked her lips.

After the guess was confirmed, he relaxed instead.

Since Isalia didn't reveal any information about the interior of the Palace of Mirrors, coupled with the side verification of the system, he can guess what is going on.

His previous words really shook Isalia, and made this noble noble lady who had never left the greenhouse resent her father who had always planned to abandon her under the banner of doting.

However, Isalia had a unique growth environment.

Having never been in contact with the outside world, she is more pure and "self-centered" while being innocent and innocent.

She doesn't care whether the dead female workers are the same age as her, or whether the jewelry she loves is bought with the lives of the workers, and the life of the bottom people has nothing to do with her.

A moment of pity and sympathy?

some.

But it just stopped at a casual "really pitiful", like seeing a dead cat or dog on the side of the road.

How could such an Isalia think wholeheartedly about the people at the bottom and stand by Chi Yiyin's side to provide help without reservation?

Obviously, rather than letting Chi Yiyin solve the Tangjia city lord, the betrayed and angry daughter wanted to question herself and get the answer.

Whatever the consequences of that.

Chi Yiyin even suspected that Isalia hadn't thought about what would happen after the confrontation with the city lord at all, and had no plan on how to escape from the city lord's power, but was just acting on impulse.

If Isalia just wanted to die by herself, it had nothing to do with Chi Yiyin.

It's just that Isalia ran away by herself halfway through leading the way...

Chi Yiyin raised his eyebrows and smiled angrily.

Yes, even roses in the greenhouse have thorns.

He wasn't worried about whether Isalia would get lost. What needed more attention now was obviously the situation of their group.

The roar from the distance of the Mirror Palace was mixed with faint roars, which sounded more like the voice of Beijing Tea.

And the countless mirrors in front of Chi Yiyin's eyes have also changed.

The mirror is moving.

Like a labyrinth that has been given life, every moving mirror reflects Chi Yiyin's appearance at this time.

Exactly.

Thousands of "Chi Yiyin" appeared in the mirror, completely blurring the sense of direction, and even turning around slightly, you will lose the original front.

He was like being trapped in a Minoan labyrinth, unable to find a way out, and could only wait in despair for the footsteps of death to sound.

But... trapped here is Chi Yiyin.

The light was blinding, so he simply closed his eyes.

The Palace of Mirrors suppresses the awakened to the greatest extent, so that all the power that belongs to vitality is plundered, and it is continuously transported to the deeper underground, becoming a part of the Human Sacrifice Pillar.

But for Chi Yiyin, there is one biggest loophole.

——He wrote the inhuman objects he encountered in the game field into his book, changed their original tragic and hopeless ending, and gave them new life and the power to change.

However, there is one that Chi Yiyin never wrote or changed.

Because for that person, any change is a denial of his past suffering and a trampling of his ideals.

Gu Xichao.

The closest existence to hell.

He himself is like death.

Not only did Chi Yiyin not write a book for him with him as the protagonist, but Gu Xichao himself did not have any power.

Gu Xichao is different from Ma Yuze and others, his revenge did not rely on external forces, the villain died in Gu Xichao's meticulous and terrifying plan.

What he relies on is always his own mind.

As for the Mirror Palace, it suppresses awakening, minimizing the power of the awakened.

But it didn't take too much power to make Gu Xichao appear.

— Wherever there is hell, that is where Gu Xichao is willing to go.

And his appearance will not consume Chi Yiyin's own strength.

So, when Chi Yiyin closed his eyes, Gu Xichao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, slowly appeared, replacing him as the "eyes".

Gu Xichao pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Sijun with surprise.

"It seems that there are things that God can't do."

His eyes circled repeatedly between Li Sijun and Chi Yiyin, and he chuckled with unknown meaning.

Li Sijun: "..."

Tsk.

Although Li Sijun didn't like Chi Yiyin's practice of letting Gu Xichao appear here instead of accepting his help, but he had the most rare advantages in the world.

respect.

It's not a big deal for no reason, and there is no distrust of completely protecting the actual reasons behind it, but a true trust in Chi Yiyin, believing that he is about to use all the resources at his hand rationally enough.

When Chi Yiyin needs to use his power, he will naturally bring it up.

Li Sijun believed this, and therefore followed Chi Yiyin, holding his shoulders to keep him from falling, but did not raise any objections.

"Xi Chao, I hope this is a **** you like."

Chi Yiyin laughed lowly: "How does Tangjia City compare with your snow mountain town?"

Gu Xichao readily admitted: "You once said that evil cannot be completely eradicated, no matter how I isolate the town from evil, there will be a time when it will lose its purity - human beings are easily corrupted creatures, and one thought is **** and hell. world."

"Now, Chi Yiyin, you have shown me exactly the world in your mouth."

Gu Xichao quietly glanced at the mirror palace in front of him.

It's just that in his eyes, the Mirror Palace looks different.

What is reflected in each piece of glass and crystal is not the figure of Chi Yiyin, but the faces of the murderers and accomplices who died in the small town.

The deaths that occurred every time the Snow Mountain Town operated in the past, and the subtle differences brought about by every "reincarnation" of those sinners, are all delicately displayed in the mirror.

"You've already discovered it, Xi Chao."

Chi Yiyin said: "The mirror palace is the same as the alley. It also compresses all time and space into one place. In the mirror, I see all my past and possible future."

He hooked his lips and smiled slightly: "What did you see?"

The mirror cannot reflect Li Sijun, and the mirror palace that collapsed all time and space at the same time is not just a space filled with mirrors, but also a place where the human sacrifice pillar takes effect.

Under their feet, countless corpses were buried.

Chi Yiyin could even hear the wailing and struggling of those souls in a trance, and realized how the dead people hated the world.

Their pain and hatred have been transformed into forces that do not belong to this world, allowing the Crystal Palace of All Nations to be established regardless of technological restrictions.

This is the situation that those rich and powerful want to achieve with the help of priests and witches.

It is beneficial to the rich and powerful, but it is a complete disadvantage to Chi Yiyin and others.

When Chi Yiyin closed his eyes, the closed visual channel gave full power to his hearing, so that his hearing acuity rose again and again, and he could even hear the subtle cracking sound of the surrounding crystal rock formations—

From deep to shallow.

From the inside, and the table.

Behind the ever-spreading cracks are countless heavy objects beating the crystal.

Like a prisoner trying to break free from a cage.

In the distance, the roars of Jingcha and Red Bird became clearer.

The sound of the entire mirror palace converges in Chi Yiyin's mind, bringing visual imagination, and finally constructs a virtual three-dimensional graphic, allowing him to infer and associate through sound in his mind, " See" what happened in the Palace of Mirrors.

For example, Jingcha Hongniao, whose awakened power was suppressed and fell into a hard fight.

For example, under the crystal, trying to break free from the shackles, dragging all the outsiders who appeared in the mirror palace into the corpses underground.

Resolutely abandoned vision, so that the chaotic light could not interfere with the brain.

Chi Yiyin got more.

"Xi Chao, follow your intuition."

He said: "Let your aversion to sin dominate you, let go of all your perceptions, and experience the place in the palace of mirrors that you hate the most and the most sinful."

"Don't hesitate, go in that direction."

Chi Yiyin chuckled: "That will be the burial place for all the corpses, and it is the place where the human sacrifice pillar is the strongest. That is..."

"The place where the city lords and dignitaries are most likely to go in times of crisis."

Gu Xi frowned, and raised his head to look at Chi Yiyin, his gaze darkened.

"so…"

He pondered: "Did you call me out because you called a dog? You want to use my "sense of smell" to find the way."

Chi Yiyin smiled unchanged: "Why? I hope you don't belittle yourself."

Li Sijun next to him, relying on Chi Yiyin not being able to see, happily nodded to Gu Xichao: That's what Yinyin thinks.

Li Sijun raised his chin, and his complexion, which had been sunken because of Chi Yiyin's refusal to rely on him just now, rose again.

He was even a little proud.

Look! Otone really thinks of me as a companion.

Gu Xichao: "..."

At the entrance of the church back then, if he had encountered such a god, maybe he really needed some time to consider whether he should accept God's help.

—I’m afraid it’s not Venus!

Gu Xi's veins twitched towards his temples. If it wasn't because of Li Sijun's identity, he would have sincerely suggested to Chi Yiyin to stay away from this dangerous and unpredictable god.

No... Chi Yiyin is not a good thing either.

He even used himself as a dog!

Gu Xichao: These two people are surprisingly consistent in some aspects - such as the aspect of being annoying.

However, although Gu Xichao complained in his heart, he also knew that Chi Yiyin's proposal was indeed effective.

In terms of the intuition of evil and the ability to navigate hell, no one can surpass Gu Xichao.

He doesn't need to close his eyes, just walk through the mirror palace normally, and he can perceive which direction disgusts him more.

In Gu Xichao's calm voice, Li Sijun took Chi Yiyin and followed closely behind, even though tens of thousands of mirrors interfered with his vision and direction, he remained calm.

Dark red blood flowed down from the uneven crystal curtain wall and spread all over the ground.

The thick crystal floor and walls were shattered by corpses, and carrion corpses crawled out from the ground, screaming and rushing towards Chi Yiyin, trying to drag him into the dark underground where he was tortured.

However, Gu Xichao just glanced over coldly, and those rotting corpses who had already lost their minds were startled in place.

That was... absolute suppression of power.

It's not that Gu Xichao really has the advantage in force, but it comes from his sense of oppression in the soul.

That is the terrifying coercion that can only be found in a **** that has seen hell, walked through death, and even personally organized people to fight and plunder each other, releasing all malice.

When they thought they were already at the bottom of the deepest **** and tried to escape... but they didn't know that someone was always in the deepest depth and never left.

Under Gu Xichao's icy gaze, the rotting corpse felt the fear for the first time after death, and flinched and dared not go forward.

And any rotting corpse that had the guts to take a step forward would melt into a puddle of blood and seep into the ground when it touched the invisible golden curtain wall in the air without even a howl.

Gu Xichao raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Sijun, and silently mouthed: It seems that Chi Yiyin can't see, you can do a lot of extra things.

Li Sijun sneered: What, are you going to report on me?

Gu Xichao shrugged: Although I found my god, I accepted his invitation and became his strength. But I'm not an enthusiastic enough character, let you down?

He pushed the wheelchair forward, but turned around again, his eyes fixed on Li Sijun's hand holding Chi Yiyin's shoulder.

Immediately, he smiled.

"Someone's going to have a headache."

Gu Xichao smiled speciously, which was meaningful.

Chi Yiyin frowned: "What?"

Li Sijun's eyes darkened in an instant, and the look in his eyes towards Gu Xichao implied a warning, telling him not to try to destroy his finally intimate relationship with Yinyin.

However, Gu Xichao calmly pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Gods also have troubles, such as how to get close to another god."

Being outside, yet close enough, Gu Xichao could see the truth calmly and accurately.

Only God can play against God.

There are too many "gods and demons" that cannot be explained beyond the scope of human knowledge.

And what can prevent the game field from continuing to slide into the abyss of destruction...

There is only another god.

Gu Xichao's glasses flickered, and when he looked at Li Sijun, he smiled meaningfully.

Twelve years ago, this game of chess had already taken shape.

And a certain **** stepped into this chess game on his own initiative.

—When you were about to die in the snow, you said that you would let me see another god.

It's just that you may not have thought at that time that it's not just me who needs this **** to appear.

more you.

…god.

Chi Yiyin didn't know about the confrontation and confrontation between Gu Xichao and Li Sijun, so he was engrossed in the mirror palace in front of him, looking for a way to leave.

And just as he expected, the direction Gu Xichao was pointing at, the place with the deepest crimes, was the core of the Human Sacrifice Pillar.

The deeper you go, the more corpses rush out, densely packed like a zombie siege.

But what Chi Yiyin didn't see was that right beside them, a faint golden circle enveloped them like an enchantment.

Any corpses that rushed over were wiped out the moment they touched the light.

On the way they walked, blood from corpses gurgled everywhere, eventually converging into pools of blood, gradually submerging the ground paved with crystals.

In front of Chi Yiyin, all obstacles have been cleared away.

Like a sword piercing straight into the heart of the mirror palace, he pierced through all the crystal curtain walls along the way and walked straight to the deepest point.

And from that direction, gradually there was a noisy noise.

People accusing and pushing each other, angry cursing and swearing, and the sound of crying and begging...

The most important thing is that Chi Yiyin heard Isalia's voice.

The girl was heartbroken and questioned her in a loud voice.

But another steady and deep voice didn't even give an explanation, and only gave plain orders.

"Isalia, be obedient."

The man said: "Birds that are being fed are not qualified to protest to the feeder. You want freedom and rights? Then you don't accept any protection from me from the beginning, don't benefit from me, no Live without worries."

"When you accept my wealth, you must accept the corresponding price."

"Isalia, this is how the world works, and everything has a marked price. Don't you like it?"

The man sneered: "Then you kill me, destroy the city, and let your rules run."

"It's just, Isalia—"

"Do you have that kind of strength and perseverance? You, who can't see the truth of the world clearly, are worse than birds."

Chi Yiyin could tell that it was the city lord who had met once at the party.

He slowly opened his eyes, his voice calm.

"I have."
