Sometimes violence is the best solution, just like in this situation.

Just now, Wu Er tried to reason with them from the sky, but no one agreed. Those who wanted to kill were killed, and those who wanted to do evil were done evil. The whole city was in chaos and there was no order whatsoever.

But now, by killing a few people and hurling insults at them, using absolute force to intimidate these mortals, it has had an unexpected effect.

It has to be said, it's quite ironic.

"From now on, I will rule over you mortals. Those who disobey will end up like those people!"

Then Wu Er pointed to that patch that was dyed

The ground was covered in blood, and his face revealed a ferocious and ruthless expression.

Did he want to kill someone? No, he really didn't!

Wu Er doesn't even know how to pretend to be a villain.

But now he has to suppress his disgust and kill, and he has to pretend to be a villain.

The evil thoughts in the hearts of these mortals have been unleashed. Because of the plague, they are not bound by any moral etiquette. Only by instilling fear in them with overwhelming power can they be subdued.

Therefore, the most effective means is to fight evil with evil and violence with violence.

Wu Er took another deep breath, adjusted his voice and demeanor, and said, "Those with mild coughs, gather those with coughs together; those without infection, cover your faces with gauze soaked in water!"

As a time traveler, I have some understanding of how to control this infectious disease.

It's simply a matter of isolation and wearing masks; there's no more direct and effective method than these two.

Despite saying this, the people below still didn't act, clearly still in a daze.

Therefore, Wu Er had no choice but to once again demonstrate his strength.

"Did you hear me? Do it!"

Wu Er clenched his fist and swung it into the distance, and a loud "boom" was heard. It turned out that he had trampled several secluded houses in the city.

This sound instantly heightened the fear in the hearts of these ordinary people.

Although plagues can be fatal, they are, after all, a slow and insidious disease.

The fear was considerable, but not intense.

But if this punch smashes several of his houses, that's a different story!

This is a death sentence, and a gruesome one at that, just like those people from before, who turned into a bloody mist and scattered on the ground.

This is far more terrifying than the plague; at least with the plague, you at least leave behind a corpse after you die.

In contrast, the people who had gone mad because of the plague were restored to order under Wu Er's absolute force.

Simply appeasing them won't work; we still need to use force.

With order, actions naturally become much faster.

Driven by fear, everyone worked with trepidation, and their work efficiency increased several times over.

In less than a day and a night, those who needed to be isolated were isolated, and those who needed to have their faces covered with wet gauze were covered with wet gauze.

However, this method, which has been practiced countless times throughout history, failed to achieve its intended effect this time.

After all, this is a world of cultivators, so the plague cannot be generalized and must be very different from Wu Er's previous life.

This collective isolation is ineffective; people are still getting infected every day, and the rate of infection remains unchanged no matter how much isolation is implemented.

The gauze that got wet was even less effective.

He had hoped it would be of some use, but it turned out that wearing it or not made absolutely no difference.

While anxiously trying to control the plague, Wu Er was also thinking about something.

So what exactly is Fang Tianzhi trying to do?

They said they wanted to turn themselves into bad people.

Separated from Fengcheng, which is ravaged by plague, he is still tasked with rescuing people.

No matter how you look at it, this series of actions doesn't seem like he's trying to turn himself into a bad person.

Although I don't know what Fang Tianzhi is up to, I imagine it's not something good.

They managed to hold out for several days thanks to their military strength and prestige, but the plague showed no signs of abating.

After these days of brewing, public sentiment has erupted once again.

Under Wu Er's oppressive rule, coupled with the ever-increasing threat of a deadly plague, people once again turned into beasts.

Murder, rape, arson... all sorts of heinous crimes have reappeared in the city.

Wu Er naturally knew that persuasion wouldn't work, so he could only play the villain.

Those who committed evil deeds were apprehended; those who deserved to be burned were burned, those who deserved to be punished were punished, and those whose crimes were particularly heinous were displayed in prominent places.

In fact, logically speaking, Wu Er was arresting a criminal, which could be considered as protecting the safety of the locals.

But these mortals were not grateful to Wu Er; on the contrary, they grew increasingly resentful of him.

As for the reason for his resentment?

These people don't need a reason to be resentful now.

All they wanted was an outlet, a place to vent their emotions.

As for where this outlet is, how it is, and what it is...

None of that matters.

As long as there is a clear target, that's enough to vent.

Now, Wu Er, who uses violence to fight violence and evil to fight evil, is the most obvious target.

He was the perfect outlet for my emotions.

A few days later, quite a few people started to suicidally cause trouble for Wu Er.

These people are acting like madmen, venting their emotions wildly without understanding the cause and effect of everything.

These people are probably the ones who are being used to fool the masses!

Fortunately, Wu Er didn't care about any of that and continued to use force to suppress the protests.

While suppressing the epidemic, he was also searching for a cure.

There are definitely treatment methods available, but it's certainly not possible to achieve them with just 52 points.

This plague came from Fang Tianzhi, and he must have an antidote, but he can't possibly teach Wu Er about it.

Or rather, Fang Tianzhi simply couldn't let Wu Er cure the people in this city.

Days passed by, and more and more people died in the city, their corpses piled up and emitting a foul stench.

Around the city, many crows could be seen circling and flying. If it weren't for the barrier set up by Fang Tianzhi, these crows would probably have flown in and devoured the corpses long ago.

The humanity in the city is like this flock of crows—so dark it's unsettling.

Sixty percent of the ordinary people in the city have died, but Wu Er still hasn't found a solution, so he can only tough it out.

The people in the city grew increasingly disgusted with Wu Er, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"What...what are they trying to do?"

Wu Er was becoming increasingly desperate, and he even thought he had guessed Fang Tianzhi's intentions.

They wanted to use this plague to wear down his will and use human malice to erode Wu Er's patience.

Having lived through the era of information explosion, Wu Er, while not 100% immune to such things, is still much better off than many others.

However, just when Wu Er thought that Fang Tianzhi's plan was like this, Fang Tianzhi reappeared in the city.

"It's ready! It's ready!"

Fang Tianzhi looked around at his surroundings, his face filled with indescribable joy.

He then used his magic to bind Wu Er again, saying, "I'll show you what true evil is!"
