Chapter 574 The City Lord and I Are from the Same Clan



The doctor was a woman, and she was checking the wound on Ren Ke's chest. Fortunately, his lungs were not injured, and the gunshot wound was small, so he was recovering well. However, Ren Ke had some fractured ribs, and when the female doctor pressed on him to check, he gasped in pain.

Lin Wu sat on the armrest of the sofa next to him and laughed, "If I didn't have a cell phone right now, I would definitely take a picture of you like this."

Ren Ke said with a dark face: "You are definitely not any better than me. No, I was supposed to check your injuries, why did it become me? I'm fine now."

"I don't need it." Lin Wu said lazily, glanced at Ling Xiu, and nodded slightly at her.

Ling Xiu also nodded in response, went over to sit down, and poured herself a cup of hot water.

After the female doctor examined Ren Ke, she wanted to examine Lin Wu, but Lin Wu refused. Lin Wu asked her to go and see the injuries on Ling Xiu's body.

Lingxiu did not refuse the kindness. Her injury was not serious and was treated quickly.

The female doctor looked at Lin Wu again.

Lin Wu waved her hand and asked her to leave: "Go and call the boat driver over. I have something important to tell you."

Upon hearing this, the female doctor did not dare to delay and went there quickly.

When the people arrived, Lin Wu told the other party the longitude and latitude: "You take people to sail to this location."

The captain said truthfully, "Master Four, this is a long way from the original route. In addition, the signal is not good because it is close to the ice wall. There are also a lot of floating ice. It is easy to lose navigation and hit the ice at night. It is not safer than the original route."

"I know, let's go there." Lin Wu said without any objection, and the other party took the order and went out.

Ren Ke was puzzled: "Aren't you going to go to the Ice Prison to find the City Lord as soon as possible? That place is far away from the Ice Prison. What are you going there for?"

Lin Wu curled his lips and poured himself a cup of hot water.

Ling Xiu quickly remembered: "Is this the place I told you when you met me when you left Killer City a few years ago?"

Lin Wu nodded calmly.

Ling Xiu was surprised: "But didn't you get anything last time? Why do you want to go again now..."

She suddenly realized, "I actually learned about this place from the city lord. It's related to the source of our control, and it might be the entrance! The source of control is behind the ice wall, and the eighteenth level of the Ice Prison leads to the back of the ice wall. You're going to find the city lord this time, and the city lord is in the Ice Prison—"

"So this place can actually lead to the eighteenth level of Ice Prison?!"

Lin Wu put down the cup and said, "Not bad."

Ren Qiqi asked: "How can you be sure?"

Lin Wu reached into his pocket, took out the phoenix-shaped sign and placed it on the table.

"Because of it."

"it??"

"This was before Ren Ke faked his death and escaped. When Zheng Lian went to the city lord to report on matters, the city lord gave it to Zheng Lian for safekeeping. At that time, the city lord said that there was another more secure entrance on the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison, and this is the key to open the entrance." Lin Wu said.

"Zheng Lian asked cautiously where the entrance was and whether he needed to send someone to guard it. The city lord didn't answer directly, but only said that Ling Xiu knew, and then asked Zheng Lian to leave."

Ling Xiu knew that the only place related to the city lord was the one she had been told. This sign undoubtedly opened there. Lin Wu asked Zheng Lianshun to take it to Ren Ke's place for storage. It was not safe to keep it here, and Fan might find it at any time.

"There are too many unknown dangers in the last few levels of the Ice Prison. Let's not go there. Let's go down from here." Lin Wu said.

Ren Ke and Ling Xiu digested this sudden news.

Ling Xiu said, "But the place I told you about is in the deep sea. We don't have diving equipment right now, so how can we get down there? Besides, the temperature in the polar regions is too low, and it's even colder in the sea... This requires special equipment, and we don't have time to prepare it right now."

Lin Wu said meaningfully: "We don't need to prepare. Before I returned to Killer City, I found someone. After knowing this sign, I asked Zheng Lian to help me pass the message out and let the other party bring equipment to this place to wait for me. We will go there to meet up and go directly to the sea."

The two's pupils shrank.

Ren Ke couldn't help but ask, "Lin Wu, what on earth have you done? Why do you keep surprising me, as if there's no end in sight? Let me ask you, if I were to change sides at the last minute, would you have already prepared a trap for me?"

Lin Wu hummed: "Maybe?"

Ren Ke: “…”

Lin Wu said with a sigh, "Don't worry, there's nothing else. I'm not that smart."

Ling Xiu said helplessly: "You are really modest when you say that."

Lin Wu smiled and said suddenly, "This time, I will go to the sea with that person, and you will wait for me on the boat. If I am not back by this time tomorrow night, you don't have to wait, and go back to Killer City."

Ren Ke and Ling Xiu paused.

"As for the control of the assassins by the assassin city, I will take care of it. You don't have to worry about it."

Lin Wu felt around in his pocket and finally pulled out a USB flash drive, which he placed on the table. He said, "This contains my arrangements for my afterlife. Please do me one last favor and bring it to Zheng Lian. He will make proper arrangements."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet as she said this.

"...What nonsense are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!!" Ren Ke was angry.

Lin Wu said: "You all already know that the eighteenth level of the Ice Prison is full of darkness. If an ordinary person gets close to it, he will die. I am also an ordinary person."

Ren Ke choked.

Ling Xiu said in a deep voice: "But didn't you say that you have a way to save the city lord and restore his weakened state? Then wouldn't it be fine if you just come back with the city lord! This control, it doesn't matter whether it can be solved or not!"

"Yes, it doesn't matter!" Ren Ke followed and said in confusion: "Lin Wu, why can you save the city lord?"

Lin Wu sighed and stopped hiding it, saying, "Ren Ke, I currently feel that the things in the eighteenth level of the Ice Prison, that is, behind the ice wall, are something that I should be very familiar with. You should be familiar with it too."

"An alien object." Lin Wu said.

Ren Ke's voice suddenly stopped.

Ling Xiu was confused when she saw this: "What alien object?"

Lin Wu asked her: "Do you know the underground city?"

Ling Xiu shook her head.

Lin Wu simply explained to her the origin of the dungeon.

Seeing Ling Xiu was puzzled, she continued, "In fact, I still don't know what happened in the underground city to cause so many alien objects to come to the outside world and store them in various places, causing serious consequences. But the Killer City is obviously one of the serious consequences. The city lord should be controlling the killers through the alien objects."

"In addition, as for the alien objects, the Chi family in the underground city can deal with them. After searching for a while, I am now sure that I am a member of the Chi family, so I can also solve it, but the price I pay may be higher."

"But it's okay," Lin Wu shrugged casually and said, "As long as I solve it, your control will no longer exist. From now on, you can live freely."

The two opened their mouths, but their throats seemed to be strangled.

Ling Xiu barely understood and accepted this fucked up and weird thing, and strongly objected: "No! Even if you are... but you are not sure if you can solve this thing alive, right? You are injured now..."

Ordinary people will die if they get close to it, which shows how terrifying it is! If Lin Wu was in a normal state, it would be fine, but she is injured now, isn't it more dangerous? ! She shook her head more and more as she spoke: "I don't mind having that thing on me, I can accept it."

Ren Ke also objected: "Lin Wu, what you said is just speculation. What if it is not an alien object, but something more dangerous... Then you will die if you take the risk. How not worth it? You can't go!"

"It is an alien object. This is not just a guess, I am completely sure of it."

Lin Wu sat up straight and pointed at the sign on the table.

"First, this sign is in the shape of a phoenix, and the tattoo on my body is also a phoenix. Is it such a coincidence?"

Seeing that the two were about to refute, Lin Wu spoke again.

"Second, my tattoo is very special. It will show up not only when I'm in danger, but also when I meet someone from my tribe. And it showed up both times I met the city lord. Besides, Fan Du feels that the city lord has no hostility towards me, and so do you, Ling Xiu."

"So it appeared when I met the city lord, only because the city lord--" She paused, "The city lord is from the same clan as me. According to his approximate age, he should be a member of the Chi family who was sent out decades ago, about the same generation as my grandfather."

"Fellow tribesmen?"

Ling Xiu and Ren Ke looked at Lin Wu in absurdity.

Lin Wu said: "I have always wondered why the city lord wanted me to work for him, and why he was so tolerant of me, and was certain that I would not help Fan after knowing about the Ice Prison."

"Now I understand. Just because he and I are both members of the Chi family, he must know what happened to me in Lingnan. So he concluded that when I heard Fan talk about the things in the eighteenth layer of the Ice Prison, I would definitely think of the alien creatures from outer space."

"If I'm not mistaken, the city lord left this sign for me on purpose to confirm that what I thought was right. That's why he told Zheng Lian to wait for me there."

Seeing the two of them standing there in a daze, Lin Wu smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised?" She looked at Ren Ke and said, "Didn't you guess that the city lord and I were related when you saw the sign?"

"But I didn't expect you to be his grandson... Ah, I'm not scolding you, I just didn't expect you two to have this kind of relationship!" Ren Ke said in disbelief.

Lin Wu's mouth twitched: "Anyway, this is the situation."

Her eyes suddenly darkened.

"Since we are from the same tribe, my blood can help the city lord recover. The city lord has a very good self-healing ability. He can recover from any severe weakness."

"But leaving the aliens there is not a long-term solution. The city lord wants me to go, probably because he wants me to deal with them, but he is powerless. It doesn't matter. After I deal with them and they disappear, the control over you should be gone. Even if there is, the city lord will deal with the remaining ones for you now."

As for her, she probably won't be able to get out.

The city lord has lived for so long and still hasn't been able to solve the problem, so she's probably in even worse shape and might even have to lose her life.

The air was dead silent.

The two were stunned by the impact.

Ling Xiu grabbed Lin Wu's hand and said, "But you don't have to do this! By the way, I remember you said there is another person who can solve this control. Isn't that the city lord? Let's find him and bring the city lord out, right?"

Ren Ke nodded quickly.

Lin Wu said after a while: "The man I'm talking about is my master, Mo Chuan. But he was seriously injured and returned to the Thirteen Ridges of the Snow Region to recuperate. So he is someone I can only bother when I have no other choice. I don't want to involve him until the very end."

She slowly broke away from Ling Xiu and analyzed calmly, "Even if the control is lifted, the source is still there. Who knows if it will continue forever?"

“It’s better to solve the source.”

"Besides, I don't know why the city lord, as a member of the Chi family, would use alien objects to control and harm ordinary people. If he is different from what I think and is a bad person, as long as the source is still there, you will still be in danger."

“So it has to be resolved.”

She looked at the two of them and curled the corners of her mouth nonchalantly.

"It's worth it for me to exchange for so many people."

Lin Wu thought that this was probably what Gu Siyin and the others had in mind when they joined No. 49 and rushed to do those suicidal things.

Well, it's okay, not disgusting.

Let her be one of them again.
