MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 145

What is the core of a city?

Countless banquets, endless wealth, miraculous majestic buildings, clean and tidy streets, and the prosperity of the streets with the sound of horseshoes... Is it these?

It is still the polluted river, the unpalatable black bread, the corpses that die day after day without treatment, the embers after burning, the despair in the alleys behind the sun.

What is the most important thing in this Tangjia city, and what is it composed of?

For Chi Yiyin, there is only one answer to this question.

-people.

Cities are made up of people, and above all people.

No matter how many false appearances cover the field of vision like clouds and smoke, the final landing point, the beginning of the story begins with people.

If the people in the entire city die, then Tangjia City will become a ghost town, and there is no need for it to continue to exist.

But the pampered dignitaries of Tangjia City have been accustomed to squeezing people's blood, tears and lives for too long, stepping on their corpses to earn money, and supply their own wine and jewelry, but they have never realized it...

The world has changed.

It started when Sky triggered the dungeon three years ago.

Entering the copy from Chi Yiyin is the end.

When he stood on the land of Tangjia City, he saw the sunny and lively outside the city, but the city was depressing and cold and dead.

He watched the whole world with those blue eyes, took a panoramic view of everyone's words and deeds, saw their nature clearly, figured out their character, deduced the past from the present, and then deduced the future.

The scene of the destruction of Tangjia City turned over in his mind one after another, and the fire and blood weaved into a mournful song of death.

Flags were broken, towers fell, and people's bodies were piled up in mountains, their eyes wide open, and they were dying.

All the bright futures are completely buried in the deepest darkness before dawn, no one can save them, no one will help them.

Whether it is the powerful or the people at the bottom, everyone fights and kills each other for survival and wealth, and no one survives in the end.

It was they themselves who brought death to each other.

Chi Yiyin saw the possible future and heard the city's mourning.

——Tangjia City is dying, life is dying, and the world is in jeopardy.

For whom does the bell toll?

The death knell rings the footsteps of death for all the lives who despise life, and the **** of death...

Death has appeared.

The rich and powerful are still drunk and dreaming of death, not knowing what night it is.

Chi Yiyin didn't care whether the dignitaries lived or died, and whether they could survive the massacre.

But he cares about the city and the overwhelming majority of the people in the city.

People are always willing to trade small things for big things. For such an inconspicuous city, its demise has nothing to do with it, and it is indifferent.

But, first the demise of one city, then the second, and the third...

In the indifference of everyone, death is also walking towards themselves, and finally the whole world will fall into the abyss of darkness.

At that time, even if people repent, want to change their destiny, and cry and say they want to live...there is no chance.

Chi Yiyin is not saving a certain person, nor is he saving a certain city.

He is rewriting the city and the world according to his own rules.

"The world has begun to change. People who are blindfolded and cover their ears, who are indifferent to the changes in the world... will be left behind by the changing world, and will no longer be able to catch up with that speeding train."

"And on that train."

Chi Yiyin slowly raised her eyes from the book in her hand, and looked coldly at the lord of Tangjia City in the distance.

His voice was as deep as a bell in the middle of the night: "Your fate lies on that train. You have already made a choice whether to die or survive. And now, your choice will lead you to a new world."

The city lord didn't understand Chi Yiyin's words. He didn't understand why Chi Yiyin had the confidence to speak to him like this, but stood in front of him but remained indifferent, without any fear.

He frowned, wanting to threaten Chi Yiyin again.

But as soon as he took a step, he heard that in this empty underground space, suddenly——

"boom!"

Chi Yiyin closed the book in his hand.

With one hand in his pocket, his slender figure is straight and elegant, with a polite but alienated smile on his lips, and a well-fitting suit looks like a member of the powerful.

But the place where he stood clearly explained to everyone that he stood on the opposite side of the rich and powerful, stood with all the people at the bottom, and in order for those lives to continue their lives, he chose... to kill all the nobles in front of him .

"The wine you drink is the blood of the world, the meat on your table is the flesh of slaves, every gemstone is the eyeball of the dead, and every piece of gold is the bone of the desperate."

"Everything you have has been marked for you to pay back from the beginning, and now—"

Chi Yiyin holds the book in one hand, laughing happily and wildly,

"It's time for you to pay back the price you once paid—use your blood and bones to pay back the city you looted!"

Use the corpses of those who were crushed to death as human sacrifice pillars to protect the city?

Now, let's do something really good for this city.

for example…

"Use your bones to lay the foundation for a new city."

Chi Yiyin's voice was low, whispering like a devil's whisper, scattered in the cold and dark night, and the moment it fell into the air, it was like cold water splashing a frying pan, stirring up a thousand layers of waves.

Centered on Chi Yiyin, the light golden ripples quickly rippled around, enveloping the entire space. And no matter the person or thing that touches the light, they will be silently turned into powder at the moment of touching, and fall down in a rustle.

The city lord was shocked, and the dignitaries widened their eyes in horror, crying and rushing towards the city lord, wanting to seek the protection and help of the city lord.

However, no matter how frightened they wanted to dodge, they were gradually forced into a corner by the light, howling in panic like trapped animals, but no one could save their lives.

Those rotting corpses climbing up from the abyss were reduced to dust under the helpless gaze of the dignitaries.

The power of the Human Sacrifice Pillar faded quickly, and all the souls trapped here were released by Chi Yiyin's power, and in the violently trembling Crystal Palace, there was no one who could save the dignitaries.

They are real, outraged and alone.

But Chi Yiyin, who was originally isolated by the city lord, stood on the other side of the abyss, smiling leisurely.

There is an abyss under his feet, and there are still carrion corpses trying to climb and escape hanging on the cliff, desperately stretching the rotten hand bones upwards, hoping that someone can take him out of this hell.

Under the power of Chi Yiyin, the soul whose memory and sanity had been wiped out by the sacrifice pillar finally slowly recovered some memories, and remembered their original purpose.

In the past three years, what have I done...

They actually, actually helped their enemies, but instead swung their knives at people who should have been their relatives and partners.

What guards the city!

That's not, it's not really protecting the place where they were born and raised, but turning into the dogs of the rich and powerful, destroying their beautiful memories, and even devastating their beloved city.

Helping the tiger.

Is this what they've been doing all along...

The palace of mirrors echoed with a tearing roar from the depths of the soul, its cry was very mournful, and the sound was crying blood.

Chi Yiyin stood on the edge of the abyss, looking down at the souls climbing the cliffs below her feet, her blue eyes were like the inclusive sky and sea, she quietly reflected those souls into her eyes, remembering their appearance and their appearance one by one. cry.

Like a god, overlooking his people.

"You are guilty."

"But not unforgivable," he said.

Because your sins have not yet reached the point where they cannot be saved.

The battle at dawn has not yet come, and you have awakened, even if you have done too many wrong things, helping the powerful and hurting your partners.

but…

"Compared to fighting each other, conflicts, it is more important to remember who is instigating the conflicts."

Chi Yiyin slowly raised her eyes, and looked at the city lord calmly.

After a long time, he pursed his lips and raised his head: "That's what our real enemy looks like."

The city lord barely stabilized his figure amidst the shaking of the ground. He looked at Chi Yiyin with serious eyes, and felt that the power he controlled was weakening, and his control over Tangjia City was being weakened.

In the streets, in the alleys, in the rooms, in the towers and bell towers...

Wherever the gargoyle is, it is his eyes and minions, helping him to firmly control the whole city under his claws.

But now, those controlled places are extinguished one by one, and finally turned into silence.

The heart of the city lord is falling into the abyss.

He had to admit that for the first time, he had misjudged someone and failed to see clearly the danger hidden under that mask.

And this mistake turned into a heavy blow to Tangjia City, hitting the core of Tangjia City, making it impossible for the entire Tangjia City and all of them to fight back.

One hit kills.

The city lord's eyes were heavy, and he scanned Chi Yiyin from head to toe.

The abyss is bottomless, and the broken crystal has no echo when it falls. If it is accidentally dropped, there will be no bones left.

Not to mention the rotting souls climbing the sheer walls of rock.

They reached out to Chi Yiyin's hand, they could grab his ankle at any time and pull him into the abyss.

But Chi Yiyin's brows and eyes were calm, and he wasn't even half worried about it.

Even, when he noticed the castellan's gaze, he smiled back at him.

"Honorable City Lord, you just said that you are for this city?"

Chi Yiyin smiled lightly, tilted her head and said, "Then what should we do? The city is in danger now, and it needs a hero who is brave and not afraid of death like the city lord. Since you said that you are for this city, then..."

He smiled and stepped forward with his long legs, without hesitation he took a step forward.

All the nobles including the city lord, as well as the audience who watched nervously before the live broadcast, all widened their eyes in astonishment.

[Is the anchor crazy! Ahead is the abyss! ]

The expected scene did not come.

At the foot of Chi Yiyin's step forward, faint light spots floated up, gradually building a bridge of light under his feet, spanning the entire abyss, and connecting the originally insurmountable gap.

The carrion dissipated, and the free soul collapsed into countless light spots. Finally, after a complete death, I remembered my previous ideals, but it was too late.

They are willing to become the cornerstone of the new world and the bridge under Chi Yiyin's feet.

Just to...make the ideals that were once forgotten by them come true.

And Chi Yiyin stood on the bridge of light, looking down from a high place with azure blue eyes that were cold and infinitely high.

Like a god.

The city lord looked up at Chi Yiyin in shock, and was so startled by the real miracle in front of him that he lost his voice.

He doesn't believe in God, and thinks it's just a means of fooling the people, a good excuse to let those injured and sick workers be eliminated logically and make way for younger and fresher labor.

The city lord couldn't be more clear about what he had ordered the church to do.

What gods and demons? That's ridiculous.

If there is a god, why is he still alive when he killed tens of thousands of people like this?

Kind-hearted people are weeping and eating hard dry black bread, while people with blood on their hands are sitting behind bright display windows, using good-quality bone china plates and silver knives and forks, and black tea that has traveled across oceans on white porcelain. Swirl in the cup...

is this fair

If there is a God, how can such things be allowed to continue?

When the city lord thinks this way, he often feels full of sarcasm and despises the so-called gods.

But now, when he looked at Chi Yiyin, he suddenly felt that he saw the real God.

He is not kind, and can even be said to be ruthless. No matter how people cry for help, he never shows up, but just watches them die.

but…

when he comes.

He will come to take all the price and judge all the sins of the world.

And the city lord, and the dignitaries behind him—

"May I ask you, and those rich and powerful men behind you, to die for this city?"

Chi Yiyin smiled and made a "request".

When his words fell, the invisible force in the air rushed towards the city lord and the others, surrounding them, like a trapped mouse in the golden twilight, hanging in the air to watch their struggle and panic.

The golden light was so scorching, like the flames of divine punishment, it quickly ignited a fire in the dry grass and dead branches, burning their souls.

Just like those female workers who were "devil upper body" were crying and screaming in pain in the flames.

Chi Yiyin gave them back the pain they had given to the city.

It is useless to let the rich and powerful cry and beg for mercy in panic.

And the city lord finally understood.

—they were condemned by God to the sin of death.

God's punishment, come.

All the things he and the people around him have done all the time have been seen by God and clearly recorded, and nothing has escaped.

Their self-righteous luck pushed them into the abyss of death.

The city lord took a deep look at Chi Yiyin for the last time, and then, in the flames that had spread and burned his body, he lowered his head heavily.

Kneel down.

"God..."

His voice was hoarse, and blood and tears flowed from his eyes.

"Please forgive my sins, guide me, and use your generous mind to allow sinners to be born again."

In the flames, the city lord's strong body was quickly burned until only a handful of scorched black bones remained.

But he didn't struggle.

When the dignitaries screamed and rolled because of the pain of the burns, the city lord knelt down motionless, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and stood there stiffly until he died.

Until only a charred skeleton remained.

He bowed his head in Chi Yiyin's direction, like a sinner who repented of his sins, praying and making atonement devoutly.

But Chi Yiyin just glanced at the city lord's bones, then slowly stretched out his slender fingers, pointing at the city lord from afar.

"Your city has already sounded the death knell, and all the painful souls died because of you. Do you still long to be forgiven?"

Chi Yiyin's voice was cold: "There will be no seat for you in the new world. Your destiny is to die here. I apologize for everything you have done in the past."

The voice fell.

The only remaining bones of the city lord seemed to have obtained the final answer, the obsession dissipated, and the dead bones also turned into dust, falling to the ground in a rustle.

Starting with the city lord, the bones of all the nobles were also weathered into powder.

As soon as the wind blew, it collapsed all over the ground and fell into the abyss.

The sacrificial pillar once built by the city lord to control the city, in the end, became his own tomb.

"Eat the world, greedy man."①

Chi Yiyin's brows and eyes were expressionless, and she watched all this calmly: "Your world has disappeared, and it's time for a new morning sun to rise."

His steps are light, stepping on the bridge of light over the abyss, just like Moses dividing the sea and the gods crossing.

When Chi Yiyin stepped on the ground at the other end, the entire Mirror Palace, which was trembling violently like an earthquake, suddenly stopped shaking and came to a stillness.

But still standing on that piece of ground, only Isalia was left.

She shrank her shoulders and shivered, covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face, and looked at the death around her in disbelief.

Chi Yiyin slightly lowered her eyes to Isalia.

"When the Prophet freed the slaves from their masters and gave them free life, the slaves complained that the Prophet made their lives difficult."

"Isalia."

His voice was steady, even with a smile: "You are a smart girl, you know what I mean by this, right?"

"You're not going to make a move that disappoints me—the way of life and death, below that."

Isalia looked up at Chi Yiyin in horror, and everything that happened made her understand that Chi Yiyin... this young man who smashed people's chains and led the crowd to overthrow the tower is far from something she can provoke.

And she originally thought that no one could escape her father's control, so after "betraying" her father, she betrayed Chi Yiyin to her father, hoping to find a way out in the cracks between the two sides.

If it was another player, Isalia's strategy might be smart enough.

The city lord, who is far beyond the player's strength, will once again become Isalia's biggest reliance, protecting her safety.

Isalia is already very aware of the fact that she is being used as a signboard, but she is not ashamed of it, and instead uses this to ensure her own survival.

— After all, even if it is a signboard, she is also the best signboard, and it is always a pity to spend money to easily destroy it.

Besides, in the short term, the city lord will not be able to create another "Isalia".

Isalia thought very clearly that since she had survived the rioters, she was safe for the time being, and the city lord did not have to sacrifice her now.

She made the smartest decision, thinking she had tricked Chi Yiyin by playing tricks.

but in the end...

Isalia hurriedly wiped away her tears, bowed and thanked Chi Yiyin again and again, then lifted her skirt and ran quickly, trying to escape from the Palace of Mirrors as soon as possible before Chi Yiyin repented.

She threw away the expensive but heavy jewelry on her body one by one, and the gorgeous but complicated and heavy skirt was torn off and discarded.

The girl ran in **** with her skirt up, and the diamond cut her ankle, but her pure white skirt was so light, like a bird's feathers.

And the smile on her face gradually became real, obviously she was fleeing, but she was smiling from the bottom of her heart.

first time.

For the first time since birth...Isalia understood what freedom is.

The girl in the wind gradually went away, Chi Yiyin calmly withdrew her gaze, and looked back sideways.

Li Sijun was standing on the other side of the light bridge, watching him with a smile.

When Chi Yiyin confronted the city lord and the dead soul, Li Sijun stood there all the time, staring at him with good eyes. The golden brown eyes were like thick honey, and the sweetness that could not be melted was flowing.

At this time, they were standing at both ends of the light bridge, looking at each other from a distance.

The bridge composed of countless light spots leaps over the chasm and life and death, enough to span any long distance and connect the two ends of people who are destined to meet.

Like a magpie bridge flying across the Milky Way.

Waiting for a lover to meet.

Even Chi Yiyin was slightly stunned the moment he understood Li Sijun's eyes.

His footsteps stopped, and it was a rare moment of hesitation, not knowing whether to move forward.

Chi Yiyin pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He is not... a character who will adapt to warmth.

Since he came into the world, Chi Yan's education for him has covered the whole world, with absolute rationality to eliminate useless emotions. When Chi Yan taught Xiaochi Yiyin in this way, she herself did not have a warm personality.

There are only cold reason and numbers, and what Koike Yiyin gets along day and night are endless books, gray walls, and the vast sky.

He stood high enough to see the whole world.

But there is no emotion.

Either to him, or to someone else.

nothing.

—How can a person bestow on others what he has never had since he was born?

Chi Yiyin understands the emotions in the world because he is a novelist himself, and he needs to figure out every character setting and the cause of every emotion.

But when this feeling is for him...

He didn't know how to refuse.

If Li Sijun's feelings towards him were false, Chi Yiyin wouldn't be under such heavy pressure.

But... Chi Yiyin can be sure that Li Sijun's feelings for him are true and not false.

This made Chi Yiyin in a dilemma, unable to simply reject Li Sijun's sincerity, let alone accept it.

What made him even more puzzled was why Li Sijun had feelings for him?

After all, in Chi Yiyin's view, Li Sijun's personality should be similar to his own, and he is not a person who pays attention to emotions.

so why...

When Chi Yiyin looked up at Li Sijun again, his eyes were complicated, and too many questions were finally woven into a big net.

And he took a step forward, after all, according to his own way of doing things, preparing to ask a straightforward question.

"Li Sijun, you..."

"Brother Chi! You are here too, that's great!"

Red Bird's surprised voice suddenly sounded from a distance, getting closer and closer: "Just now, I really thought that we would never see you again, Brother Chi! It's really great to see you, woo woo woo..."

The red bird's voice interrupted what Chi Yiyin was about to ask, so the courage and determination that had been accumulated just now to ask also retreated instantly.

Chi Yiyin swallowed what she hadn't finished speaking, and turned her head to look in the direction where the voice came from.

The pair of Jingcha and Red Bird are coming from a distance.

They were covered in blood and blood, and their clothes were full of stains and tears. They looked so embarrassed and disheartened. This was the worst time for them to look like since Chi Yiyin knew them.

It can be seen that they have experienced a tough battle.

And just as Jingcha once promised to Red Bird, he will fight all the battles, and protect Red Bird, who is in charge of logistics and analysis, well behind him.

Even though Jingcha's height and build were not comparable to Red Bird's, when he easily carried Red Bird on his back and walked over with injuries all over his body, he didn't feel any disobedience, instead he was as close as a person.

The red bird on Jingcha's back was waving to Chi Yiyin with the excitement of remaining alive after the catastrophe, indicating their rendezvous.

But I heard a "pop!"

Jing Cha slapped Red Bird with a slap, and said in a vicious voice, "Don't move back and forth! Be careful not to fall."

"Do you think this is outside? In the Palace of Mirrors, the power threshold is so low. In order to fight well, I didn't even repair the wound. If you move around and hurt my wound, I will throw you down..."

In the middle of Jingcha's harsh words, he kicked on the gravel on the road and sprained his foot, immediately pulled the injured and bleeding muscles and wounds, and immediately "hissed!" and gasped.

But he didn't throw the opponent like he threatened Red Bird at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand and knocked the Red Bird upside down, and carried the Red Bird that had slipped on his back back, preventing the opponent from falling off.

Other than that, he walked over to Li Sijun without saying a word.

He is not stupid, he can see that Li Sijun is Chi Yiyin's chosen companion, and at the same time he can see the great power that belongs to Li Sijun.

If his strength has been suppressed and is not enough to protect Hongniao and Chi Yiyin, then at the very least, before the crisis strikes again... entrust them to another person who can take charge of the battle to protect their safety.

Jingcha thought very well.

But the red bird lying on Jingcha's back suddenly felt a chill on his back, as terrifying as being stared at by a large beast.

The red bird shrank its neck immediately, and the original words came to an abrupt end, and looked back in horror, and saw Li Sijun looking at him with a murderous cold gaze.

Red Bird:? ? ?

When did he offend this big boss? Why doesn't he have an impression?

Li Sijun: "Tsk."

Solved the problem of the Milky Way, I didn't expect to kill two queen mothers halfway, tsk.

The ultra-low air pressure on Li Sijun's body finally made Jingcha realize something a little too late.

He looked up hesitantly, his gaze swiveled between Chi Yiyin and Li Sijun, trying to recall the atmosphere, words and deeds between the two before he came over.

"us…"

Jing Cha hesitated and asked, "Did we bother you to talk to each other?"

Chi Yiyin: "..."

Red Bird hurriedly covered her mouth in panic, Jingcha, and desperately waved her hand to Chi Yiyin to deny it: "No! No! No! This **** didn't say anything. It was a rabbit talking just now, and we don't know anything!"

He secretly twisted Jingcha's soft meat, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Ancestor! Didn't you see that the boss is chasing after his wife? On the contrary, Brother Chi is still hard-hearted, so don't stay here Be a light bulb, hurry up!"

The ancestor of his family really knew the art of language!

One sentence offends two people who can't be offended. I really don't know if he is doing it on purpose or if he is really stupid!

Jingcha blinked her eyes, her curious eyes turned several times between Chi Yiyin and the two of them, and finally realized, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"stop."

Chi Yiyin smirked, her casual voice sounded so scary: "Where are you going?"

Jingcha: I should be dumb, and being a **** who can only chirp, is better than saying a wrong sentence and being attacked from three sides!

Jing Cha tried hard to squeeze out a smile that was not sincere no matter what, racking his brains to find a reason for himself to retreat.

"Red Bird said he was going to the toilet! I'll carry him to the side, Chi Yiyin, don't worry about us, ha, ha ha..."

"What are you doing at a distance?"

Chi Yiyin sneered, raised his hand and pointed to the abyss under his feet: "Just jump down, make sure no one sees you going to the bathroom."

Under the horrified eyes of the red bird looking over, Chi Yiyin added with a half-smile: "This is the fastest way. Not only the toilet, but the next life will come soon."

Red Bird: "!!"

He hurriedly patted Jingcha on the shoulder, and Jingcha rushed out at the fastest speed in his life. The two rushed forward together with an unprecedented tacit understanding, and in the blink of an eye they were already at the end of their field of vision.

"Brother Chi, we're waiting for you at the Crystal Palace—!"

Only the sound of the red bird stretched by the wind was still scattered in the air.

And after there was no one in the way, the mirror palace became quiet again, and only Chi Yiyin was left.

Li Sijun took the initiative to take a step forward, without giving Chi Yiyin any more time to prepare and think, he asked with a light smile, "What did Yinyin want to say to me just now?"

Chi Yiyin pursed her lips.

One bang, then decline.

The first time he resolutely wanted to tell Li Sijun, after the aura was broken, it was difficult to brew it, and he lost the courage to kill just now.

Chi Yiyin is like a child who has never received a gift, and suddenly someone stuffed a soft plush toy in his arms. It is too fragile, far from the evenly matched, sword-like shadow of Chi Yiyin's cognition and habits.

As a result, even his hands and feet became hesitant, he didn't know how to deal with the softness in his arms, and it was rare that a little warmth emerged from the interval of reason, and he couldn't bear to destroy it.

He can gamble with enemies countless times larger at the gambling table without changing his face, he can walk into the darkness alone without fear, he can see through lies, and he can even act out lies.

He is familiar with all the powers in the world.

But to be an "enemy" is not to use reason, but to confront with true emotions from the soul...

Chi Yiyin suddenly didn't want to destroy it.

Under Li Sijun's serious gaze, Chi Yiyin's ears slowly turned red, his silver-gray hair covered the color of his ears, and his eyes, which were pretending to be calm, did not let his true emotions leak out.

"Li Sijun, you... now is not the time to talk about these things."

But his slightly hoarse voice still betrayed him.

Li Sijun raised his eyebrows, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger, thinking that his little follower was extremely cute.

Are you shy?

"Yinyin means..."

Li Sijun raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Let's change to a more private place, so we can talk about this?"

Before Chi Yiyin could give an answer, he responded readily: "Okay, no matter what kind of place Yinyin likes, I can accompany Yinyin. And between us, we can also straighten out each other's emotions .”

"You...cough."

Chi Yiyin also noticed that something was wrong with him, he coughed and tried his best to restore his voice to normal.

He forced his sanity to come online and regained control.

When he walked towards Li Sijun from the light bridge, and finally walked in front of him, standing side by side with him, all the emotions on his handsome appearance had been restrained.

In just a few seconds, he had already changed his appearance and became the rational and indifferent Chi Yiyin again.

"Regardless of the emotion or other personal issues, we will discuss them after the crisis is resolved and we leave the copy."

Chi Yiyin raised her head slightly: "Now there are matters with higher priority than you that need to be resolved. It won't stop, and I don't have the energy to entangle you."

entanglement...?

Li Sijun's eyes darkened, he raised his hand to half cover his lips, hesitant to speak.

Has his voice already thought that far?

After Chi Yiyin explained the situation to Li Sijun, he thought that Li Sijun had already understood his thoughts clearly, so he didn't pay too much attention to him, but turned to look at the mirror palace surrounded by thunder and dust.

Beautiful crystals and precious stones were smashed into powder, and expensive rare treasures were buried with the corpses.

The mirror palace collapsed behind Chi Yiyin, and fell down with the abyss to the lowest human sacrifice pillar, collapsing and disappearing with all the corpses.

And they, hand in hand, walked towards the Crystal Palace of All Nations on the ground.

"The core of Tangjia City, as well as the city owner and all the nobles are dead, but the copy is still running, and the system has not jumped out to stop."

Chi Yiyin stood on the crystal steps, turned around and looked at the hollow and deep abyss under his feet.

His eyes darkened.

"In this case, there is one last thing to confirm."

"Let's go to the Crystal Palace of All Nations—there must still be something supporting the operation of the copy."

Chi Yiyin smiled: "Go and destroy it, leave the copy."

Then, get out of here.

The city of death knell... the bell ringer on the tall clock tower, this time, I am afraid that I will be in charge.

But it wasn't the death knell that was ringing.

but...

Declaration of victory.

"For whom does the knell toll? The knell is tolled when people refuse to help each other, look on at all death and oppression, call it normal to fight each other for profit."

Using the words and sentences in his book, based on his understanding of the entire city and its people, he reversed the movement of the people, making the city lord lose the power he relied on the most, and completely avoiding the Battle of Dawn.

However, the question from the city lord was deafening.

Chi Yiyin never denied the truth of the city lord's interrogation.

—Do you think that if you kill an evil dragon, the world will be peaceful forever?

Not me, but other dragons too.

Not these city dwellers, but also people from other worlds and spaces.

As long as people's hearts are consistent, such stories will not be cut off.

Even if the world and space are compressed, similar stories will only continue to be staged, and the cycle cannot be broken.

Chi Yiyin can change the outcome of one death, but he can't help Tangjiacheng forever, and he has no interest in being a nanny, singing lullabies for Tangjiacheng all the time.

If Tangjia City itself does not change... then in the next hundred years, the next hundred years, the death knell will still remain.

This is why the time and space in the alleys and the technological progress in Tangjia City are always intertwined with the past and the future.

Because ah...it is in circulation, in reincarnation, and it is staged again and again.

And what Chi Yiyin has to do is to cut it off, so that Tang Jiacheng can completely control his own destiny.

"Do you think it's possible?"

Li Sijun saw through what Chi Yiyin was thinking, and asked lightly: "Do you think, with the essence of these lives, can they do it—to achieve the ideal future in your heart."

Chi Yiyin smiled: "That's their own business."

Li Sijun raised his eyebrows in surprise, but Chi Yiyin looked up at him.
