Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 996: Game within a Game

Outside the small building where Ning Fan lived, Ma Yuxiang stood on the side of the road, smoking leisurely.

Beside him were Pei Hongshen and Lin Song.

These two people who wished each other to die sooner still looked at each other with unfriendly eyes.

They were indeed at odds.

However, Ma Yuxiang brought them together.

Soon, Pei Ying walked out of the small building.

She also held three belts in her hands.

"That Ning Fan doesn't have a belt."

Pei Ying handed the belt to Ma Yuxiang.

Ma Yuxiang looked at the three belts with a smile.

"This spirit servant of yours is quite useful."

Pei Ying, [Hundred Souls Level] Spirit Servant: Phantom.

It can conceal its own breath and sense the breathing frequency nearby in a small range.

This is somewhat similar to Mu Wutian's ability, but it is still far from Mu Wutian's absolute perception.

The three belts she was holding in her hands at this moment were exactly the same belts that Wen Xiuyuan had researched before.

Wen Xiuyuan is already in Yecheng. This kind of "technological product" may not be available to everyone, but it is definitely standard equipment for people at the [Thousand Souls Level].

Ning Fan had used the Soul Suppression Device to gain an advantage countless times along the way, so naturally he would not let himself suffer in the area he was most familiar with.

So when they came out this time, everyone except himself wore a belt like this.

However, Ma Yuxiang also knew about things like belts.

The reason why these three belts are now in Pei Ying's hands has to start from before Ning Fan and others came to the headquarters.

The purpose of Ning Fan and his group's trip was originally to clear away the internal obstacles for Lin Song in the headquarters.

This is something that almost everyone knows.

Pei Hongshen naturally knew this too.

Therefore, the closer Ning Fan is to the headquarters, the faster Pei Hongshen will die.

The entire headquarters seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. Pei Hongshen gathered his people together, but no one offered any decent suggestions.

Just when he was feeling depressed, an unexpected person contacted him.

Ma Yuxiang.

In Ma Yuxiang's words, I am here to give you a way out.

Then, Pei Hongshen understood what Ma Yuxiang was going to do in shock.

Kill Ning Fan!

It can be said that the chaos in District B was partly caused by Ma Yuxiang, and a large part of the pressure was also caused by Ning Fan.

Pei Hongshen also knew that the two sides might be at odds, but he didn't expect that Ma Yuxiang actually wanted to kill Ning Fan directly.

But if you think about it, it makes sense.

The situation in the lower city has basically been settled.

Yecheng controls most of Yecheng, and it is only a matter of time before District B takes over.

The situation is basically clear.

So the next thing to consider is who will get the final fruits of victory.

Under such conditions, it is normal for one party to want to get rid of the person in power of the other party.

But what Pei Hongshen needs to consider is, is it reliable to cooperate with Ma Yuxiang?

He had never seen Ma Yuxiang, and even before the chaos in District B, he had never heard of the name Ma Yuxiang.

But in these few short months, Ma Yuxiang left a deep impression on him.

This person is so cruel.

To be honest, Pei Hongshen was a little hesitant to cooperate with such a person.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ma Yuxiang was not only ruthless, but also had good eloquence.

"Director Pei, cooperating with me is your only way to survive now."

"I believe you can also understand that the layout of the Lower City has been determined. For the Wild City, a B District is not worth them spending too much time and effort on it."

"So, between you and Lin Song, Ning Fan chose Lin Song. After all, he has soldiers and generals under his command, while you... just have the title of District Chief."

Ma Yuxiang's words were blunt.

However, Pei Hongshen did not get angry.

After all, although what they say may be unpleasant to hear, it is the truth.

"But I'm different."

Ma Yuxiang changed the subject: "I can choose you."

Pei Hongshen was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"Why?"

"Because you can give me an opportunity to kill them."

Ma Yuxiang smiled and said, "To me, this is much more valuable than a few [Thousand Souls]."

Pei Hongshen was weighing Ma Yuxiang's words.

I have to say that Ma Yuxiang was very arrogant.

How many [Thousand Soul Level]?

This is the most precious property in District B!

But when it came out of Ma Yuxiang's mouth, it seemed like it was worthless.

However, Pei Hongshen did not dwell on this issue too much, but was more concerned about...

Why did Ma Yuxiang kill Ning Fan?

No.

To be precise, why should Ma Yuxiang be included in the list?

At this moment, Pei Hongshen quickly summarized the power in his hands.

To be honest, even he himself didn't know what value he could provide to this conspiracy.

"Chief District Officer Pei, I don't understand why you are hesitating."

Ma Yuxiang sneered, "If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. I gave you a chance. It's better than having no hope at all, right?"

Pei Hongshen quite agreed with this statement.

Anyway, I am now in a state of waiting to die.

So what is there to lose?

So, Pei Hongshen agreed.

And there was only one thing that Ma Yuxiang needed Pei Hongshen to do.

Just get five belts.
