He propped his head up with his fingers, glanced at Lin Wu, and said slowly: "Even if the city lord dies, this control will not disappear. In fact, once he dies, we will die with him."

"How do you know that?"

Lin Wu's heart skipped a beat.

The man saw that she finally became serious and became a little restless, with the corner of his mouth slightly curled.

“I decided on this two years ago.”

He thought back to the past, organized his words, and then continued: "One night more than two years ago, an outsider came to Killer City. He came in very secretly and low-key, and was personally led by Mo Lang to the city lord's residence. He left an hour later. If I hadn't checked the city defenses on the island at that time and found that most of them were closed, I wouldn't have discovered it."

The city defense was in the charge of the Nine Rakshasa. When Lin Wu was not there, it was handed over to Mo Lang. In fact, not only Lin Wu's token, but also the city lord's token could be shut down.

So it could only be that the city lord wanted to see that person.

"After that person left, I also found that Mo Lang had left."

"I had someone follow him and found out that he went to an unnamed island in the Indian Ocean. There was a sanatorium on that island, which actually held some extremely vicious people. And Mo Lang, following the order of the city lord, killed a young man inside."

Lin Wu pinched his palm unconsciously and asked, "And then?"

"Mo Lang might have been in a hurry, so he left after taking action without making sure whether the man was really dead. My people rescued him, put him to rest, and replaced him with another dead body to prevent the city lord from investigating his life or death later." Fan said.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Guess who this person is?"

Lin Wu said: "How should I know?"

"He, you and I are all in the same industry, so we should be very familiar with each other."

"…Is he from Killer City?"

"That's right."

Lin Wu asked in astonishment: "Then why is he in that sanatorium? The city lord asked Mo Lang to kill him? Did he betray the city lord?"

"No, he just knew something he shouldn't have known. But he is not as lucky as me, and he can't be tolerated by the city lord." Fan said.

"You know the same thing... it's the Ice Prison!" Lin Wu reacted immediately, "There is another person who entered the later levels with you. When I checked the control of the Killer City, I found that this person is very powerful and can hold on for several hours. Is he the one in the sanatorium?"

Fan nodded.

Lin Wu said: "But it is recorded in the Killer City's roster that he was executed because he failed in a mission and caused great losses to Killer City. How could he be in the sanatorium?"

Fan sat up straight and said, "He really deserved to die that time. But he saved his life with his accidental discovery. But the city lord didn't let him go and locked him up there."

"After he woke up, I found an opportunity to go out and see him and asked him what happened. He refused to say anything until I promised to let him live. Then he told me that he was looking for an opportunity to escape, but someone in the sanatorium told the city lord, so the city lord asked Mo Lang to kill him to eliminate future troubles. And what he discovered was the Ice Prison."

"It turns out that he, like me, accidentally entered the later levels of the Ice Prison, and he saw more than I did."

Fan's expression suddenly became serious.

"He said that the seventeenth and eighteenth floors of the Ice Prison are completely different from the previous ones. The previous ones were all tortures, but the seventeenth floor is full of dead bodies. They were all sent there by the Eight Rakshasas in front of the Killer City. The eighteenth floor is filled with darkness. Ordinary people will feel pain and embarrassment if they approach there. They will die in a moment."

"This is something he experienced personally. He passed through the seventeenth floor and reached the entrance to the eighteenth floor. He almost died just by being at the entrance. He couldn't even step into the darkness inside."

"At the last moment, he was rescued by the city lord."

Lin Wu was stunned: "The city lord saved him? Did he meet the city lord himself?"

Fan nodded.

Lin Wu was curious: "What does the city lord look like?"

Fan looked at her dimly and said, "He doesn't know. He was unconscious at the time, and when he woke up he was in the city lord's castle. He found that he didn't remember the events of the Ice Prison very clearly, and he also forgot what the city lord looked like."

"The city lord asked him what he remembered, and he told him the truth. Then the city lord wanted to kill him. He wanted to escape, and that's when the city lord controlled him. He found that the feeling of being controlled was very similar to the feeling when he was in danger at the entrance to the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison, so he asked if the things the city lord had used to control them were the things in the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison."

"Maybe he persisted for so long that the city lord was surprised by him and really answered him, saying yes."

After listening to this, Lin Wu's first reaction was that Fan was really lucky.

It can be seen that the city lord did not want people to remember what happened in the several layers of the Ice Prison, so he wanted to erase that person's memory, but failed, so he wanted to kill that person.

Thinking about the latter part, Lin Wu was suspicious: "Are you sure he is not lying? How come I found out that the source of these controls is behind the ice wall?"

Fan said casually: "How do you know that the deepest part of the eighteenth level of the Ice Prison is not connected to the world behind the ice wall?"

Lin Wu's expression froze.

Fan said, "That person also told me that he was not at peace during those years in the sanatorium, and tried every means to use external forces to kill the city lord in order to get rid of the control. When the city lord found out about this, he had someone tell him that even if he died, the control would not disappear."

"Because as long as the things on the eighteenth floor still exist, this thing will always exist. Don't even think about solving it. The eighteenth floor leads to the vast outside of the ice wall, it is endless."

"Not only that, its power is terrifying, enough to destroy a person. When the city lord was here, he was suppressing it, just using it as a means to control the killer's actions. Now that the city lord is gone, it will lose its suppression and will burst out to devour us and kill us."

"After knowing this, he settled down. It wasn't until he went crazy and tried to escape that the city lord couldn't stand it anymore and ordered Mo Lang to kill him."

After those words were spoken, the room fell into deathly silence.

Lin Wu asked: "Then how did it get planted in our bodies?"

Fan looked at her and said, "You may not remember, but on the first day we became members of Killer City, we all took a black substance. This is it, and it will dissolve and take root in our bodies over time."

Lin Wu reached out and touched his heart in a daze.

Seeing that she seemed a little confused, Fan stood up, walked around the desk, squatted in front of her, and patiently comforted her: "You don't have to worry. Although the city lord is dying... However, I already have a way to solve this control."

Lin Wu rolled his eyes and asked, "What's the solution?"

Van looks at her.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "You."

Lin Wu was surprised: "Me?"

"I said before, I heard the city lord say in the Ice Prison that he was going to find someone to do something on his behalf. Now I am sure that he is going to find someone to take over his position as city lord. He will definitely pass this control to the next person." Fan said.

Lin Wu seemed to understand: "You mean, the city lord has set his sights on me taking over, and when I take over, I ask him if he has any way to solve it, and he might not hide it from me?"

Fan said, “Maybe.”

Lin Wu sneered, "I have defected so many times and caused so much damage to Killer City, but the city lord still wants me to succeed him? Are you crazy, or is the city lord crazy?"

Fan said cryptically, "He may not have thought of letting you succeed him, but you must mean something different to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately exposed Ling Xiu in front of you."

"That's because the city lord wants to use this to lure me back." Lin Wu said coldly, and then asked her to kill the man in front of her.

Fan suddenly laughed, "Don't you already know that Ling Xiu is also working for me?"

Lin Wu was slightly startled, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this.

She had seen it last time when Ling Xiu came to persuade her not to stay in the room. Because the city lord said he would not care about her, she would not do anything, and it would not cause any loss to the city lord, but Fan would not do anything.

To be honest, it was indeed unexpected.

I don’t know if the city lord knows that Ling Xiu is listening to both sides.

Lin Wu asked, "How did you get Ling Xiu to help you?"

"She didn't help me. She still listened to the city lord. She was just watching." Fan said, "Two years ago, I found her and said I had a way to solve the control. She didn't believe me unless she saw a definite hope. We didn't have much contact in the past two years. It wasn't until the day before yesterday that I told her that you might be able to solve it, and then she came over."

Lin Wu frowned.

Fan continued, "But two years ago, she told me something in exchange. She said that over the years, the city lord has been paying attention to you and tacitly allowed you to do many things."

Lin Wu was stunned.

Fan said: "This is enough to show your specialness to the city lord."

After a moment, Lin Wu turned his face away and said coldly: "Even so, you can't expect the city lord to tell me how to solve it. Don't forget what Ren Ke said before he died. You wanted me to die, and there are only two or three days left for your plan!"
