Chapter 424 I hope this time will be a good dream
Zhong Mu frowned. The more he got to know this place, the colder it seemed to him.
It looks peaceful and quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the Forgotten City or the restraint of the Twin Cities. However, hidden beneath the surface of peaceful operation is the coldest hell.
Every mark on the high priest's body was evidence of the city's guilt.
"It's okay... the city lord who imprisoned you is dead. No one can imprison you anymore." Zhong Mu quickly spoke to comfort him.
The high priest raised his lips silently, "How can the city lord be dead? Everyone in Mingyu City is a city lord. As long as they are still alive, I will not leave this place."
Zhong Mu glanced at the gods' messengers standing at the elevator entrance but not entering.
What the high priest said was indeed true. If Zhong Mu had not made up a lie that the gods would come back, these messengers would definitely want the high priest to stay here. When a city lord dies, many people will become new city lords. Without external force, the high priest would not be able to leave here at all.
But fortunately, Zhong Mu and the others came.
"Your body is very weak, and your breathing is gradually failing. How long have you not eaten?" Mu He hurriedly checked her body. Perhaps because the power of God was still in the high priestess, she was constantly regenerating, so her body had no major problems but she was still hanging on to life.
"I don't remember. I haven't eaten since I was locked up here. Anyway, I will regenerate even if I starve to death. They won't consider that too much." The high priest lowered her eyes lightly, her tone understated, but the weakness revealed from her whole body made people feel that she would close her eyes and fall to the ground in the next second.
Zhong Mu glanced at the high priest, then turned and walked to the elevator door, staring at the messengers. "You guys go wait downstairs. The high priestess doesn't want to see you. I need some time to negotiate with her slowly. Whether it will succeed depends on the high priestess's attitude."
The gods' messengers glanced at the high priest and nodded hurriedly. When the high priest was needed to help Mingyun City, their attitude was the best and most humble. They immediately made room for them and took the elevator downstairs to wait.
As soon as the envoys left, Zhong Mu immediately turned around and moved closer to them, whispering to the high priest, "Do you want to leave here?"
The high priest raised his eyes, his gaze dark, "Don't I want to? I want to every moment, but I can't escape."
Zhong Mu lowered his head and took out the doctor's hand from his storage space. While chatting with the priest about the current situation outside the city, he sewed Mu He's arm.
First, I briefed her on the impact their arrival had on Mingyu City, as well as the situation in other cities after losing their gods. Finally, I discussed their escape plan and the subsequent arrangements for her.
Zhong Mu thought that since the high priest of the Forgotten City went to the Twin City, he might as well take the high priest of the Fallen City to the Eternal City, just in time to meet with Boss Ye and Brother Xiu and the others, and settle the high priest of the Fallen City in the Eternal City.
As for what will happen to the city of Mingyue City in the future, let them fend for themselves.
The heart disease of the people in this city is that they hate their incomplete selves. All the citizens have obtained complete bodies under the blessing of God and have forgotten that they themselves are a group of incomplete people. The disappearance of God has only restored them to their original state. It is themselves who make them so crazy.
Mingyue City does not need anyone to rescue it, they must slowly accept themselves.
Zhong Mu only planned to escape with the high priest, and had no intention of taking care of this city, nor could he take care of anything.
"Leaving here and heading to Changsheng City?" The high priest slowly lowered his eyes. "If I can leave here, I'll go anywhere. I hope my presence won't cause trouble for Changsheng City."
Every city is in chaos now, and I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of her, the fleeing high priest.
"It's okay. I know someone in Changsheng City. They're very strong and must have already taken care of Changsheng City. We can just go there when the time comes." Zhong Mu nodded confidently, calming the high priest's still tense mood. "What's more important now is you. We need your cooperation if we want to leave."
The high priest nodded silently.
Now the citizens of the city believe in the method brought by Zhong Mu to summon the gods back. As long as the high priest cooperates, they will have a way to leave the City of Life.
Mingyue City has two city gates, one leading to the Twin City and the other leading to the Eternal Life City.
Since they were going to Changsheng City, they would trick all the citizens into going to the gate of Shuangsheng City. It would not be difficult to escape from here. They could take the high priest away, and all they needed was the cooperation of the high priest himself.
Once the city lord dies, the cage will be gone. With the help of Zhong Mu's lies, now is the easiest time for the high priest to leave. If he does not leave after this time, the high priest will never have any hope of leaving.
"I'll go with you." She didn't hesitate at all. No matter where the two people in front of her were going, she would follow without hesitation.
"It's okay, we'll take it slow. Right now, we need to quickly adjust your physical condition. You haven't eaten in a long time. If you suddenly eat, you might vomit. But if you don't eat, you'll starve to death. We need to make some time to adjust your physical condition first, otherwise it's easy for something to happen when we leave."
Mu He also had to give priority to the patient's condition. It was rare to encounter such a weak patient. In this dark cage, with no one to care for her, all her organs had atrophied. Now, let alone cooperating with Zhong Mu's performance, she could hardly even walk onto the summoning platform.
The high priest shook his head. "No, the people of Lifefall City are very impatient. We must leave quickly. If I die, take my body with me. I will be reborn anyway. Leaving here is the most important thing."
Mu He sighed helplessly, raised his head, looked in the direction of Zhong Mu, and waited for an answer from Zhong Mu.
"Can't you hold on until the summoning ceremony is over?"
Mu He shook his head. "She can't hold on. The fact that she can still speak means she's used to this state. A normal person would be half-conscious or completely unconscious by now. If my estimate is correct, if she insists on going out in this state, she'll die on the summoning platform in a while."
Zhong Mu stroked his chin in thought, staring at the high priest dimly, "If you insist on leaving here quickly, you'll have to be patient."
"I promise you, the next time you open your eyes, it will be outside of the Fallen City."
A pale smile appeared on the high priest's thin face. "With your promise, I feel relieved."
"This is just one of my countless deaths, but it's the one I'm most looking forward to. I can't wait to close my eyes. I hope this time, it will be a good dream."
As for whether Zhong Mu could do it or not, she was very calm, because it would only mean returning to her original life and experiencing one more disappointment.
