Chapter 370 But My Boyfriend Is Here

He knew very well that Li Mo was not a god at all. The residents sacrificed themselves to him, and most of them would be eaten. Now they were helpless.

"This city... will suffer a disaster because of his appearance. We will be displaced and homeless from now on. We can never go back to this paradise we once were. You have to believe me... believe that he is not a god." The fortune teller was still shouting stubbornly, but no one listened to what he said.

Zhong Mu smiled and squatted beside him, nodding, "I believe you, what you said will really happen."

The fortune teller glared at Zhong Mu, thinking that Zhong Mu was coming to provoke him.

"But we won't be displaced, and homeless is even less likely." Zhong Mu stared at the fortune teller calmly, "Is your definition of home just a piece of land? It's better for everyone to rot in this area than to leave it?"

"What do you know?" The fortune teller gnashed his teeth. "God will definitely come back! We can't abandon God! If we leave here, we will lose God's protection forever! We will become traitors to God!"

"You're about to die, and you still care about your faith? If you want to die here, die here alone. Don't use your faith to tie everyone down." Zhong Mu had already lost touch with him, so he stood up and looked at the others. "Do you want to live? Or do you want to stay in this city until you forget yourself?"

Everyone was stunned, "Is God willing to favor us?"

Zhong Mu didn't respond, but instead asked, "If it's God's guidance that can help you get through this disaster safely, are you willing to do everything he says?"

Everyone quickly assumed their most pious postures, "If this is God's guidance, then it must be right. We are willing to obey all of God's arrangements! Please lead us back to a peaceful and healthy home."

Zhong Mu nodded at their immediate obedience, but he knew very well that their piety was not genuine. They were just grabbing a float on the sea, eager to escape the current danger.

"Then I will announce God's instructions to you." Zhong Mu cleared his throat and stared at them seriously. "God said that this filthy land is beyond redemption. The hearts of each of you have been polluted. Only by leaving here and going to a new world can you find true salvation."

Everyone was stunned, the whole street fell into silence, and then the crowd fell into panic.

"Leave here? But this is the Forgotten City! It's the domain of our gods. Where else can we go if we leave here?"

"I can't leave. That would be betraying God. No! Absolutely not!"

"Having abandoned God, how can we survive anywhere else? We will be wanderers forever."

"We can't do that!"

Facing the crowd's doubts, the fortune teller smiled and said, "As expected, no one will leave here. Your false god is simply not enough to lead everyone out of here."

Zhong Mu glanced at him nonchalantly, "Why are you in such a hurry? If I say they can leave, they will definitely leave."

Then he looked up at the others, trying to look disappointed. "As expected, the laziness emanating from the depths of your hearts is incurable. You're even unwilling to heed the final guidance of the gods. From now on, no god will favor you."

He shook his head, said nothing more, and turned and left.

Seeing this last hope disappear before their eyes, everyone was impatient. "It's not that we don't want to obey! We just... have never left here before, so we need some time..."

"Right, right... No god has ever told believers to leave their sanctuary. No one in the four major cities would leave their sanctuary to live elsewhere for long. We simply can't accept it."

"Let's think about it! We'll discuss it with each other! Besides, there are still many people in the city who haven't seen God! This isn't something that can be decided in a short time! Please, God, give us some more time!"

Their desperate attempts to persuade them to stay made the fortune teller furious. "He's deceiving you! His goal is to trick you into leaving here! Why would you trust him? There's no divine guidance at all! It's a complete lie! He's creating a false god to trick you into leaving your home!"

Even if the fortune teller made the truth public, no one was willing to listen to him. The people here had witnessed the power of God and knew that this abnormal existence was special. They had been living in God's sanctuary and had never seen any monsters.

Even if the fortune tellers shouted about evil spirits, they could not understand. All abnormal manifestations were miracles.

The astonishing and terrifying operation just now must have been the power of God.

However, they still need to digest this guidance from God.

Zhong Mu sighed lightly and looked back at them. "You all should go back. God said he is willing to give you some time."

Then he turned and went into the house without saying anything extra and without paying any attention to the fortune teller on the ground.

It is normal for residents to be hesitant and uneasy, and it is also normal for them to be unable to accept it for a while. There will definitely be opponents, and there will definitely be radical elements who cause trouble and resist, but these are inevitable contradictions in this city full of extremes.

He just had to wait quietly for them to make trouble, quarrel with each other, pile up all the contradictions together, and then the God of Death would appear and push the collapse of this city to its peak.

After completing the preliminary plan, Zhong Mu began to wait, sitting by the window and secretly observing the residents outside.

After the news spread, the Forgotten City became more lively than ever.

The already extreme crowd became even more extreme after hearing someone ask them to leave. They thought that the gods were fake and that those who were willing to leave were crazy. Led by the fortune teller, they made a hysterical fuss and clashed with those who believed in the gods.

Zhong Mu also deliberately let the fortune teller go back. Wouldn't a fortune teller whose emotions were ignited be crazier than those people?

The more he spreads the falsehood of God, the more conflict will arise between the two sides.

On one side are the people who have been brainwashed and are determined to stay here no matter what; on the other side are the people who have been driven crazy and have finally achieved hope and want to survive. Both sides are extreme, both sides are crazy, and both sides dislike each other.

Zhong Mu huddled by the small window, chewing on a dry and hard steamed bun while secretly peeking at what was happening outside.

From the time the news broke yesterday to the intensification of the conflict today, it’s almost time for a more important protagonist to appear.

"Boss Li Mo, when will Brother Xiu come?" Zhong Mu swallowed a mouthful of steamed bun. Because it was too noisy outside, it was inconvenient for him as a messenger of God to go out. He had been eating steamed buns in this small room for several meals and was feeling very suffocated.

When he turned around, he saw Li Mo standing at the door, straightening his clothes, taking out a small flower and holding it in his hand, looking dignified and elegant as if he was going on a date.

"Boss Li Mo, are you going out? You can't go out now?" Zhong Mu was anxious. The god couldn't appear at this moment.

"But my boyfriend is here." Li Mo said seriously, with a look of anticipation. This is the boyfriend she just met after several days! She has to go and greet him!

"Brother Xiu is finally here?" Zhong Mu was stunned for a moment. Seeing Li Mo about to open the door, he was suddenly startled and rushed over to hug Li Mo's thighs. "Then you can't go!"

"You two will be playing opposite sides later!! How can you go to him so elegantly with flowers in your hand?"

He couldn't even imagine that the god that the residents believed in would happily take the flowers to find the people who wanted to massacre the city. The faith that they had built up with great difficulty in their hearts would definitely collapse in an instant!
