Chapter 1121 No Need to Be Merciful
Ye Wanxi straightened her expression and got back to the point: "We came here today not only for these innocent people who were implicated, but also for ourselves. Wu Yequan and we have a deep-rooted personal feud, and from the beginning he never intended to let us go. He pulled this stunt before leaving, purely to disgust us, and he knew we wouldn't stand idly by."
Ye Wanxi looked up at Xiao Baihui again as she spoke: "Once we left, he didn't intend for us to come back, but what he really wanted to do was to make sure that even in death we would not have peace."
Wu Yequan knew very well that whether it was for their personal grudges or for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, they would definitely make this trip.
But before they arrive, they not only have to face unknown dangers, but also the predicament of being condemned and cursed by everyone.
Humans have seven emotions and six desires; even the most saintly person would get agitated in such a situation.
Once they get angry, they will be playing right into Wu Yequan's hands.
He wanted Ye Wanxi and the other woman to see with their own eyes just how selfish and foolish the ants they were trying so hard to protect were. They could be grateful to you for a little benefit, but they could also push you away for a little threat.
If Ye Wanxi wavers even slightly, she is prone to developing inner demons.
At this point, if the two of them were to develop inner demons, they would not only be unable to stop Wu Yequan, but they themselves would also be in grave danger.
"So, we should still thank you. At least, those of us around us can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Ye Wanxi couldn't help but smile as she thought of Gao Min and Feng's mother seeing those news reports and the relieved and happy expressions on the faces of those who had been humiliated and were now being attacked in return.
Xiao Baihui felt heavy-hearted after hearing Ye Wanxi's words, and felt even more ashamed to accept her thanks.
Ye Wanxi saw through his thoughts, took a deep breath, and asked directly, "What's the specific situation over there now?"
Xiao Baihui's attention was indeed drawn back, and he said with a solemn expression, "The situation is quite serious. Since that video appeared, the area around Z City has been cordoned off. From the outside, that place looks like it's covered by a semi-transparent dome; you can get in but you can't get out. We tried sending people in, but we found that as soon as they enter that place, the signal is cut off, they lose contact, and they can't get out."
"After that, we tried many other methods, but still to no avail. Moreover, as time went on, the cover seemed to look more and more wrong, giving people a feeling of increasing danger."
Xiao Baihui paused here, then frowned and said, "Besides that, some people from Z City who saw the video came back from other places because they were worried about their family and friends. Most of them were stopped, but a small number..."
The incident happened suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
Although the authorities reacted quickly and immediately blocked off all major intersections in Z City, some people still insisted on taking shortcuts to get inside.
Despite the staff's vigilance and strict measures, they were still unable to stop those who slipped through the net.
Ye Wanxi seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Feng Tianyu: "You just said that you can get in there but can't get out? And that once you get in, the signal will be lost and you'll lose contact?"
"yes."
"Could it be..."
"Have you two made any discoveries?" Xiao Baihui suddenly straightened his back and looked at the two of them with bright eyes.
"It's not so much a discovery as a guess. You just said that the outer barrier gradually became abnormal over time. We suspect that the barrier is not just a simple enchantment. It should be like the magic array in Linjia Village before, a medium used to absorb people's negative emotions."
"A medium that absorbs people's negative emotions?"
"Yes. Wu Yequan set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, trapped all the people of Z City inside the barrier, cut off their contact with the outside world, and even made an example of them by deliberately detonating a house."
Xiao Baihui thought of the house that had been burned down in the video, his eyes narrowed, and his anger flared.
"Under extreme repression, people inevitably experience negative emotions such as panic, anger, and breakdown. Voluntarily staying in one place is completely different from being forced to stay in one place, not to mention that they are forced to be trapped and may face life-threatening dangers like that family at any time. With their contact with the outside world cut off, they are truly helpless. Under such circumstances, the psychological pressure on people is enormous, and it will become more and more serious over time, until they break down."
"Wu Yequan's goal is to further amplify these negative emotions, ideally causing them to explode from their repression, lose their rationality, and become his pawns, providing nourishment for his formation. This is probably the main reason why the barrier is willing to let people in but unwilling to let them out. As long as there are enough people inside and enough negative emotions, the formation will become stronger and stronger."
Once this formation has absorbed enough negative emotions, its influence and the people affected will expand further. At that point, even if people are not in Z City, they will be targeted, and that would truly lead to chaos!
After listening to Ye Wanxi's analysis, Xiao Baihui's face turned ashen: "Then what should we do? If only communication within the city could be restored, we could try to reassure the people inside..."
"To break the formation, we must first find the core of the formation."
This formation must be destroyed. It's like a generator, continuously and inexhaustibly supplying nutrients to the Heaven-Slaying Formation.
The more negative emotions it absorbs, the greater the power of the Heaven-Slaying Array becomes, and the more people die.
Once someone dies, the panic in the city intensifies, releasing more negative emotions, creating a vicious cycle that is difficult to break and extremely troublesome!
Feng Tianyu gripped Ye Wanxi's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Leave this matter to us. The higher-ups have entrusted it to us, and the lower-ups to you."
Xiao Baihui's eyes flickered, and he roughly understood what Feng Tianyu meant.
Things that cannot be solved by ordinary methods are left to these people who cannot be judged by ordinary rules; other things, such as protecting and relocating the masses, are handled by them.
Only when the right people do the right things can they truly make a difference.
Ye Wanxi grasped Feng Tianyu's hand in return and added, "Wu Yequan cares more about us than about others. After we go in, we will try our best to lead him to a deserted place outside the city. It would be best if we could hold him back and buy you some time. If necessary, you may need to take some extreme measures. At that time, you don't have to be soft-hearted."
Xiao Jihui, who was driving, didn't quite understand what Ye Wanxi meant, but Xiao Baihui suddenly widened his eyes and looked at them in surprise.
Does "don't be soft-hearted" mean...?
