Chapter 381 He can still see tomorrow's sun
The man stood there woodenly, looking at Ye Tianxuan and the people around him, as if confirming this matter.
The people around also suspected that they had heard wrongly. They knelt there without really expecting anyone to share their lifespan with them. They all saw how indifferent the people of Changsheng City were now.
When there really is someone who is willing to share his life with someone else and appears, they will think that the other person is not very smart.
"Hehe, you're giving your life to others. I don't think you have much time left." The man who was kicked was still very unhappy. Seeing Ye Tianxuan coming back, he stared at him and mocked him.
Ye Tianxuan turned his head and stared at the other person with a smile. He had a good-looking face, but when he smiled, his aura would occasionally become very cold.
He held the cigarette, took a puff with a smile, and then exhaled the smoke lightly. He stared at him so lightly and leisurely that made the man feel a little uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking at me?!" the man was unhappy.
"Nothing." Ye Tianxuan narrowed his eyes and gracefully raised his hand to the side. "I just think you look quite suitable to kneel there. Why don't you kneel for a while and experience the suffering of life?"
The man was stunned. He had just retorted and cursed back fiercely, but the faint smell of cigarettes lingered around him and drifted at the tip of his nose. For some reason, his mind suddenly went blank and his hands and feet began to move uncontrollably.
His consciousness was in a fierce struggle. On one hand, he felt that this person was sick and how dare he ask him to kneel down. On the other hand, he felt that what he said made sense...he should kneel down.
After two intense struggles, the man actually walked slowly to the land next to him in full view of everyone and knelt down at the front of the crowd.
This action shocked the people around.
What happened? He actually knelt down???
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Tianxuan's back in disbelief. They saw him casually put out his cigarette and continued to follow the crowd in line without even glancing at the kneeling man, as if all the disputes had nothing to do with him.
Everyone was confused and could only stare and continue to line up, turning around from time to time to look at the kneeling man, feeling incredible.
While they were queuing, a large crowd suddenly emerged from the direction of the main city entrance and walked towards this side in a mighty force. The people in the queue were so scared that they quickly moved to the side to avoid the crowd.
Ye Tianxuan also noticed that those people in white clothes seemed to have a special status in this city. After they left the main city gate, they ran directly to the area outside the main city where many people were kneeling. They all had expressionless faces and held weapons, which made people nervous.
Most likely they are going to expel those people.
Ye Tianxuan guessed that the main city would not leave them alone, so he continued to queue.
But after a while, the people who came back broke his guess. Those people in white clothes and with expressionless faces did not use weapons to drive away those people, but captured them all and escorted them into the main city one by one. This made Ye Tianxuan frown.
Then, one of the men in white raised his megaphone and shouted to the queued crowd, "The High Priest of Changsheng City has just issued a new rule."
"In the past, the residents of Changsheng City were immortal and had a large population. However, after the gods disappeared, the mortality rate of Changsheng City residents became extremely high, and their need for longevity was also extremely high. However, life is constantly consumed with each passing day.
"Even though the High Priest has the ability to trade lifespans, the lifespan resources of Changsheng City are still constantly depleting. Sooner or later, the residents of Changsheng City will die. Therefore, the High Priest has laid down a new rule.
"All residents whose lifespans are less than a week and who have never made any contribution to Changsheng City will have their lifespans taken away by Changsheng City and given to residents who can truly contribute to Changsheng City.
"If any residents have any questions, please seek out the High Priest."
After the speaker finished telling the whole story, he escorted those who had been kneeling outside the main city into the main city.
This new news appeared unexpectedly in Changsheng City. Not only Ye Tianxuan was confused, but all the residents of Changsheng City were confused.
What does this mean? If you don't have enough lifespan to sustain you, and the City of Immortality deems you worthless, they will strip you of your right to live without hesitation, leaving you with no room for reversal.
As for those who were kneeling outside the main city just now, they were not driven away, but were taken into the main city. Because they still had some life left, the high priest thought that instead of letting them continue to kneel outside the city gate and waste time, it would be better to gather these scattered lives and give them to those who needed them more.
This new rule surpasses all the previous rules of Changsheng City. It is the coldest and most deadly one, and can almost end the lives of everyone at the bottom of Changsheng City.
Ye Tianxuan was stunned. He thought that the problems among the people of Changsheng City were already bad enough, but he didn't expect that the main city of Changsheng City, which issued this rule, was even worse.
Although the Changsheng City seems to be operating normally, in fact, they can no longer operate at all and are about to lose the peace they claim to have.
They can only consume a part of the people to maintain Changsheng City. They don't realize that they are destroying a large number of lives. They just regard life span as a deprivable resource, which is cheap and ridiculous.
Those who had previously knelt outside the city gate begging for their lives still held on to some hope of survival. However, after hearing this rule and being ruthlessly taken into the main city, they also realized that they no longer had any hope. It was just a matter of dying early and where to die.
The people queuing in front of the main city looked silently at the group of people being taken away.
Everyone who passed by Ye Tianxuan had dull eyes, without a trace of light in them. As the lower class of Changsheng City who were trying their best to survive, they had already given up.
The crowd surged, and those hopeless faces walked through one side of the team with silent depression and headed towards the main city.
For a moment, the only sound outside the main city was the echo of footsteps. Everyone watched silently as this group of people were sent into the main city. They knew very well what their fate would be, but they just remained silent, afraid in their hearts, and tried to live a little longer.
At this moment, the realization that living is just for the sake of living becomes clearer in Changsheng City.
"etc!"
Suddenly, a clear and cool voice was heard from the huge crowd, which made people feel comfortable and gentle like a stream, breaking the discomfort that was weighing on their hearts.
A hand stretched out from the queue, grabbed one of the people heading to the main city, and pulled him out.
"What are you doing?!" The man in white stared expressionlessly at the young man in line. "Do you want to disobey the high priest?"
"Of course not." Ye Tianxuan smiled kindly, tightly grasped the shoulders of the man he had rescued, and whispered, "I promised this man that I would give him some life later. He will be able to survive and see tomorrow's sunrise. You can't take him in."
The man who was caught by Ye Tianxuan was also stunned. He didn't expect that this person was serious. At this point, he actually told others in a serious manner that he could live as long as he was still alive.
Those who were captured couldn't help but curl their lips in self-mockery. "Forget it, little brother. I know you mean well. Even if you give me your life, I will still die. The main city has determined that I am not worth living."
"...No matter how much longer I live, I will die."
