Now, because Ning Fan's position has changed, he also understands what Xu Jiang meant by "dirty".

Under certain conditions, people of lower status can be abandoned.

For example, Xia Qing’s plan to flip the table.

The lives and deaths of millions of people were determined by her plan.

Xia Qing never asked them whether they were willing to sacrifice for his plan.

Similarly, when Shangcheng planned to create a war machine, he never considered whether the people stranded in this ancient battlefield were willing to take risks with them.

Now Ning Fan is almost certain that the loss of control of the strange beasts is the prototype of the lower city.

The abilities of the strange beasts should be extracted from humans.

Thinking further, why was the residual soul in the sword preserved?

Logically speaking, those who died in the lower city have become "spirits".

This is the spirit servant that evolved later.

It is obvious that Jian Wuchou and his friends were once from Shangcheng.

They also died in...

etc!

An idea suddenly flashed through Ning Fan's mind!

Through this idea, Ning Fan can be more certain that the eight residual souls in the sword are the true source of the strange beast.

Because they are not truly dead.

Instead, they were deprived of their abilities and turned into the original strange beasts.

As long as the beasts don't die, they...

Even if I'm alive!

In the dream, the Li family member talked about suppression!

Considering that the fifth-level beasts cannot leave their habitats, does this mean that those fifth-level beasts actually correspond to the residual souls of the world in the sword?

They are unable to leave their habitat because they have been suppressed by three generations of the Li family.

And his broken sword is called [Key].

Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat.

"This [key] doesn't exist to open the door to the upper city."

"But... remove their suppression!"

When this thought came to mind, Ning Fan felt an inexplicable chill.

People in the upper city would come down to look for the key every [Peace Day].

Perhaps it wasn't because they were worried that the people in the lower city would open the prison gate.

After all, the people in the upper city knew very well that it was impossible for the people in the lower city to pass through the habitat of the strange beasts.

Therefore, even if Ning Fan possessed the [Key] as he did now, he would not pose any threat to them.

What they were worried about was that this [Key] would unlock the cage of the fifth-level monster.

They knew very well that the people in the lower city did not have the ability to fight against these strange beasts.

In other words, when the fifth-level monster completely breaks the blockade, the entire lower city will fall in an instant.

And next, it’s their turn!

The old monster in District H asked Ning Fan a question.

How many locks did you open?

Ning Fan had never been to the [Prison Gate], so the so-called lock must not refer to the [Prison Gate].

But a seal.

When Ning Fan unlocks all the locks, it means that those fifth-level monsters will completely break out of their cages!

Ning Fan couldn't even imagine what the lower city would look like after all eight level five monsters were freed from their restrictions.

This made him feel a little scared.

If he had really taken all the coffins in District H and opened them all without anyone knowing...

Ning Fan suddenly looked towards the darkness outside the [ceiling wall].

Are those strange beasts also waiting for that moment?

Did Dark Thorn suddenly attack him just now because he was worried that he would get some kind of message in his dream?

To be honest, Ning Fan felt that there were still many unreasonable aspects in this speculation.

But judging from the current situation, his guess is at least 70% likely to be true.

And if this is the case, what role does the Li family play?

What Ning Fan couldn't understand the most was how his mother got the [Key]?

Who am I?

These mysteries are no longer just matters of curiosity.

Ning Fan urgently needs to find out the answer.

If you blindly follow your previous ideas, it is very likely that the lower city will become a living hell.

Now there are two ways to help Ning Fan solve his doubts.

First, it’s the old monster in District H.

But Ning Fan was not sure what position he was in when he approached him.

He only had one chance left to go to District H, and Ning Fan didn't dare act rashly until he had enough ability to protect himself.

As for another way...

It’s Xu Jiang.

Although Lu Yiming was also from Shangcheng, his status in Shangcheng was not high at that time.

It can even be said that it is a bit low.

The people of Shangcheng will definitely not disclose the true history to everyone, and they must be trying every possible way to cover up the truth.

Therefore, even if Lu Yiming told Ning Fan everything he knew, it might not be true.

But Lao Xu is different.

Through understanding during this period of time, Ning Fan already knew that Xu Jiang had sufficient status and position in Shangcheng.

If he were in Xu Jiang's position, he should be able to find out more about the inside story and the real situation.

But it’s too difficult to communicate with Xu Jiang.

The only way is to wait until the next [Peace Day].

At the same time, I can't guarantee whether Xu Jiang will come down in person this time.

After all, Xu Jiang is in the upper city and has a lot of things to do.

So, if you want to truly solve the mystery...

You have to rely on yourself.
