In the silent suburbs, among the fields full of fruitful vegetables, two figures were walking through the dense vegetable fields, tied together with an iron chain.

Ye Sheng always kept a certain distance from the young man leading the way in front of him.

The boy said that he would take him to see the evidence that the Nightmare Forest would not invade this place, and now they were heading towards the endless Nightmare Forest.

It is a common knowledge among everyone that the area around Nightmare Forest is not actually dangerous, and mercenaries even venture into the interior of Nightmare Forest to search for resources.

But not being dangerous doesn't mean they can be safe. In order to let them explore with peace of mind, all the mobile cities will immediately move in the opposite direction after seeing any signs of the Nightmare Forest.

The seeds of nightmare beasts are strange and cannot be seen by the naked eye. You never know when you will be invaded and parasitized by the seeds of nightmare beasts without knowing it.

Ye Sheng knew that he shouldn't trust the other party so much and keep following him, but the boy's words were too attractive to him.

If the boy had been parasitized by the Nightmare Beast seed and turned into a Nightmare Beast, then his only purpose would be to parasitize other life forms and traces of life forms. Now everything he did became illogical.

Only living people can be illogical, not nightmare beasts.

Ye Sheng lowered his head and looked at the vegetable field that was growing vigorously on the ground. This was a tomato field. Every tomato plant was full of red fruits. There were not even a few green fruits to be seen. Such vigour was simply unreal.

The City of Lieyang did not just engage in aggression, they would also stop and plant crops on the ground. He had been with the City of Lieyang for so many years and had stopped and planted crops many times, but he had never seen such lush vegetables.

Is this a new variety?

"You've been staring at these things. Are you hungry?" Suddenly, the boy in front of him stopped walking. Ye Sheng also stopped, keeping a chain distance from the boy. "Wait a moment."

Seeing the young man bending down, Ye Sheng picked up an almost red tomato and threw it to him.

Ye Sheng immediately caught it with both hands. Every bit of food must be cherished, and he would not let the food fall to the ground.

"You can eat if you want." The boy in front of him blinked. This kind of behavior is called charity, but the boy didn't seem to want to be grateful. "If you only eat one or two farmers, people usually won't say anything, but if you want to eat a lot, you'd better pay. There was a mercenary who entered my city like you before. He ate more than ten of my radishes and paid for it."

Ye Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked down at the tomatoes in his hand. Tomatoes can be considered a high-end condiment and fruit for mobile cities.

"Eat it." The boy showed no reluctance. "Tomatoes are very cheap in the market. You can buy them easily in the city."

Ye Sheng's fingers paused for a moment, and he frowned slightly, unable to quickly understand the meaning of the boy's words. What does it mean to buy anything in the city? Does it mean that all the residents in this city are high-class residents?

As he was speaking, he saw the young man bend down, pick another tomato for himself, and take a bite of it.

This tomato has been given to him. No matter what the reason is, Ye Sheng is reluctant to eat it. This tomato is round, plump, and red, and looks very cute.

It's not that he hadn't eaten tomatoes before, but they were not so fresh. The food was screened from the upper level layer by layer. The freshest and best quality ones were definitely used by the city lord and officials in important positions, and then it was the turn of his subordinates. After passing through the layers to the gatekeeper, he could eat some slightly rotten ones, but still edible.

But even so, it is a very rare food, a rare food that they occasionally use as a seasoning.

Ye Sheng bit into the tomato. The moment the juicy tomato entered his mouth, he could feel the difference between the taste of this tomato and the sweet and sour taste stimulated his taste buds. Many tomatoes that were about to rot would be covered with juice as soon as he bit into them, but not this one. The unique fresh taste spread in his mouth. For the first time, Ye Sheng realized that tomatoes themselves did not have a strange taste. He then knew the difference between the taste of fresh and rotten.

"You eat so cleanly." The boy turned around, and Ye Sheng realized that he couldn't wait to eat the whole tomato. He was obviously enjoying every bite, but he ate it very quickly. He looked up after hearing what the boy said, and saw that the juice of the tomato was all over the boy's hands.

The boy licked the tomato juice on his fingers with some distress, but the juice was still flowing down before he finished eating the tomato. The boy simply stuffed the remaining half of the tomato into his mouth. His puffed up cheeks actually looked somewhat cute. He shook his hands, as if he was unhappy about the juice on his hands.

Ye Sheng's expression turned cold when he noticed his thoughts. For a moment, he actually felt that the boy in front of him was just an ordinary boy, not the city lord who could summon those monsters at will.

"You eat so fast, are you hungry?" The young city lord bent down again, picked another tomato and threw it to him.

Ye Sheng felt that the young city lord was trying to win him over in this way, but Ye Sheng would not refuse. In the end times, no one would refuse food.

Every time Ye Sheng passed by a vegetable field, he would give him some edible fruits and even break off a piece of lettuce for him.

"Don't eat too much." he heard the boy say.

Ye Sheng knew in his heart that once he had enough energy after eating, his chances of escaping would increase. The boy might be worried, but his worry was unnecessary, as the 'collar' made by the monster-like researcher had already firmly bound his life.

"I'll take you to the city for dinner later. You're already full on lettuce, so how can you eat?"

However, the young man's next words made Ye Sheng wonder if he was dizzy from joy because he had not eaten such delicious vegetables for a long time and had auditory hallucinations. Otherwise, how could he hear the young city lord telling him to eat?

No……

Not true.

In fact, Ye Sheng had realized something when he was forced to be imprisoned in the "Land of Hope". They were prisoners of war to the City of Hope. It was already very difficult to have a bite of food to barely stay alive, so how could they have the chance to eat?

But on the contrary, their three meals a day were almost normally supplied, and the food was delicious, so delicious that he even wondered if the upper echelons of Lieyang City all ate such food.

After all, after the civilization in the past, basically all mobile cities have invented nutritional supplements. As long as they take nutritional supplements, they can maintain vital signs. Eating is the highest and lowest level things. The highest level is enjoyment, and the lowest level is eating the unprocessed food residues left after the nutrients have been extracted.

But here, during his time as a prisoner of war, Ye Sheng ate meals that he had never dared to imagine before.

He initially thought that the Land of Hope had provided them with such preferential treatment, but he never expected that...

This terrifyingly huge vegetable field that seems to have no end is probably the capital of this city lord.

However...

As he walked forward, Ye Sheng turned his head slightly and looked at the prosperous city with tall buildings standing in the distance. He felt very complicated.

this place.

What place is it?

Is it the remnant of civilization before the end of the world?

"Ye Sheng." The young man's crisp voice drew Ye Sheng's attention back, but when he noticed the black nightmare forest so close in front of him, his pupils shrank.

He was actually distracted. He was distracted while being shocked by this city!

He didn't even notice the approaching danger, and he was actually brought by the young man to the Nightmare Forest.

Ye Sheng instinctively wanted to resist and subconsciously stepped back. The boy immediately pushed the chain forward, and he heard the boy's anxious voice talking to him.

"Don't move, Ye Sheng, calm down and take a good look ahead!" The boy's reminder made Ye Sheng notice the boy's expression. At this time, he saw some expectation on the boy's face.

It is undeniable that Ye Sheng also felt that the boy's eyes were very bright. They were as if they were eyes that had not experienced the suffering of the end of the world. They were eyes that were too bright and protected by those monsters. Ye Sheng did not want to see these eyes. It was as if they were mocking them who were struggling in the end of the world.

However, Ye Sheng still obeyed the boy's words and lowered his head to look forward. But at this moment, Ye Sheng's eyes widened.

On this day, Ye Sheng felt that his worldview had suffered a huge impact.

Why is the grass that symbolizes life really just a thin line away from the Nightmare Forest?

The grass at such a close distance would definitely be infested by Nightmare Seeds. Why didn't it happen?

Weird thoughts like "How is it possible?", "Unbelievable?", "I am dreaming?" and "Am I dead?" were circling in Ye Sheng's mind.

He Fang looked back with some worry. He had brought people from the edge of the Nightmare Forest to the vicinity of the city, so why did Ye Sheng still look so distraught?

Does he remember that Min Zhizhou accepted the reality very quickly?

Could it be that one is domesticated and the other is wild, so their receptive abilities are different?

"Well, Ye Sheng, I know you are shocked that the Nightmare Beast seeds cannot parasitize this city, but can you come to your senses first?" He Fang felt that Ye Sheng was much more difficult to lead than Min Zhizhou. When Min Zhizhou entered the city, he looked left and right and asked questions, but how come Ye Sheng couldn't say a word for such a long time?

He Fang finally noticed that Ye Sheng's eyes gradually regained focus, probably because he came back to his senses.

Before Ye Sheng could get shocked, He Fang immediately pointed to his city and said, "Look, this is my city. There are so many people and so many shops in it!"

He Fang looked at He Fang with his eyes widened again. Although there was not much expression on his face, it was enough to show his shock. He fell into a new round of shock and thought.

He Fang: “…”

Does this collar have the ability to lower a person's IQ?

How come the sharp wolf leader he saw before turned into a stupid and foolish Husky?

He Fang consciously pulled the chain slightly, but saw that the other party still followed him. His eyes were complicated and returned to He Fang again. He Fang was startled by such a look.

"I'll take you to see someone." He Fang felt that perhaps at this time Min Zhizhou and Ye Sheng would have more common topics to talk about.

He Fang was actually at a loss.

He didn't know how to understand a person. As a person with social phobia, how could he go out of his way to understand others? This made the situation complicated.

If it is an ordinary game, the game producer will use a variety of small tasks to guide players to understand an accurate world view, and will use various CG images to show what the game producer wants to express.

However, "Restart of the Ruins" does not follow the beaten path. The game world is too open. The consequence of this openness is that it is difficult for players to get started in many aspects. He wants to understand Ye Sheng as a gatekeeper, and then understand other gatekeepers through Ye Sheng, and then find ways to increase the loyalty of the gatekeepers for his own city.

After all, He Fang's personality is such that he can't bear to see N-PC end up spending the rest of his life in prison.

But how do you understand a person?

He Fang was really scratching his head and couldn't figure it out.

Plus, Ye Sheng is a taciturn person, so he was really going crazy.

"Wait here for a moment." He Fang casually tied the chain to a tree. It was just like tying up a dog to tie Ye Sheng up. He Fang couldn't hold him tight anymore. Did he really think that the setting of the research institute was not deliberately torturing Ye Sheng's personality?

Ye Sheng looked at the young man He Fang's back as he left, and his gaze moved to the chain.

This was a good opportunity to escape, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach the chain.

Once the lock chain is touched, the strong electric current will instantly strip him of consciousness. He once tried to get used to the electric current attack, but he heard the ridicule of a passing researcher: "Don't even think about it. Do you think the electric current is released in a fixed dose? Zhuyan is not that stupid. All the currents are slightly increased according to the maximum limit you can bear. Don't doubt it. As long as Zhuyan does it, it can be done."

The people in this city...

They are all monsters.

The boy who had left came back with a hot bag in his hand, which contained three buns.

The young man handed him the bun from a distance and said, "Eat first. You've eaten a lot of vegetables. Don't waste them. If you don't have enough, ask me for more."

Ye Sheng could feel that the buns in his arms were still a little hot. They must have come from the surrounding stalls. Ye Sheng had not eaten food that was freshly baked for a long time. When he put the soft bun in his mouth, the juice of the slightly hot meat immediately filled his mouth. The unique interweaving of flour and meat filling made Ye Sheng suddenly feel that he had eaten the most delicious thing in the world.

Suddenly, someone bumped into his side. His force was obviously not strong, but at that moment Ye Sheng felt as if he had bumped into a hard and cold stone. There was no soft feeling of human body impact at all. He staggered as if he was hit by a huge rock. The great pain instantly made his eyes go black, and it took him a long time to recover.

Ye Sheng didn't dare to move and ate the last bun in two bites.

He did not turn around, nor did he immediately look back at the culprit who hit him. After he entered here, everything around him was filled with malice towards him.

Ye Sheng's expression was cold, and his gloomy eyes looked at the pedestrians who were constantly walking on the road at this time. He could feel the huge pressure, and the aura of each person was telling him that he absolutely could not compete with these people.

It was originally thought that monsters were just cultivated soldiers, most likely the result of forcibly strengthening the body with drugs. This experiment has a success rate, but a higher failure rate and huge consumption. Even in the Sun City, the resources are not enough to cultivate such a powerful individual.

but……

Now they are all over the city.

Ye Sheng looked at the people who kept passing by him. The faces of these people seemed to be fixed on the same expression, cold and weird, as if they were acting according to a set program, which was creepy.

Ye Sheng even doubted for a moment whether these people were living beings or not. Why could a living being be so powerful that there was no end in sight?

Suddenly Ye Sheng felt the danger, and he subconsciously took a step back, enduring a relatively weak electric current. However, if he had not taken this step back, another person would have rushed up to him, and the huge pain as if he was hit by a stone made him very scared.

danger……

This was Ye Sheng’s only thought.

At this time, not far away, there was a small rubber ball bouncing on the ground. Ye Sheng looked up and saw a child carefully chasing after him.

The child is very young, only as tall as his thighs, tender and cute, a little chubby, a very lively and adorable little life.

Ye Sheng bent down, trying to block the ball that was heading towards him. However, when the ball just touched his hand, he felt a sense of threat and immediately retracted his hand, letting the ball pass by him. The ball hit the tree that his chain was tied to and came back, stopping next to Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng saw that the child was looking at him. He narrowed his eyes, bent down, and pushed the ball tentatively, but...

The ball is still.

Ye Sheng felt his heart tighten. It turned out that his decision to dodge was the right one. The ball was incredibly heavy. Even though it was a sphere, he couldn't move it.

The sudden narrow gaze made Ye Sheng alert. He immediately noticed that the child who was clearly not far away before suddenly appeared beside him silently. Ye Sheng's pupils shrank slightly and he didn't dare to move at all.

"I heard from Daddy that you are particularly bad to the Creator?" The child's innocent eyes made him look like a normal child who didn't understand anything, but the words spoken in his tender voice made Ye Sheng feel cold in his heart. "Daddy said that the Creator is good to you, but you still don't know what's good for you? Big brother, what does it mean to not know what's good for you?"

Ye Sheng tightened his fingers. He knew clearly that he was no match for anyone here, but he had nowhere to escape.

He began to realize that the collision between the two passers-by just now was not an accident, but intentional.

Although it was an extremely bright city, Ye Sheng, who was standing there, felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart.

"Ah, it's really annoying. Why is the Creator so kind to him? He still harbors ill will towards the Creator."

"From the information released by the research institute, it is difficult to assimilate this person's thinking. Unlike the garbage sorter before, this person has beliefs that do not belong to this city."

Malice, malice, all that comes at you is malice.

Ye Sheng stood there. Although no one was looking at him or talking to him, he could hear malicious words spoken to him by everyone who passed by him. This city, under the bright sunshine, made his whole body cold and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly he felt a huge blow on his leg. Ye Sheng suddenly bit his lower lip and immediately lowered his head. He saw the child who had never left. He bent down and picked up the ball that bounced back. He looked at him with innocent eyes, as if he was just a normal child playing with a ball.

It was so strange, his five keen senses seemed to have failed in this city.

"Hey, big brother." The child spoke up at this time, saying slowly, "Don't make the Creator unhappy, okay?"

Ye Sheng only felt that at that moment, he was surrounded by an ice cave.

Suddenly, Ye Sheng heard footsteps. This was the only person besides the young city lord whose presence and aura he could sense since he came to this city. Ye Sheng immediately looked at the other person. His sharp eyes were like a knife, as if he wanted to cut that person directly.

In front of him appeared a man, very tall and strong. He was obviously much stronger than the people around him, but he was the weakest one. This man was out of place in this place full of monsters.

"Don't bully people here." The man lowered his head and said to the child beside him, "The city lord doesn't like children who bully others."

Ye Sheng's eyes were full of confusion. This man, who was even weaker than him, was actually talking to this child on an equal footing, as if he was also one of the monsters. Could he be a high-ranking official in the city? Just like the fragile young city lord.

"Are you on his side?" the child holding the ball asked Min Zhizhou.

"I'm not on his side, it's the city lord who's on his side. Don't bully him too much. You still have to bring him to the city lord safely." Min Zhizhou said helplessly, watching the child leave with the ball reluctantly in his arms.

Min Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief, they finally left. As expected, if he announced the title of the city lord, basically no one in the entire city would object. He was not stupid at all, how could he not see that these people were all bullying Ye Sheng?

He still remembers clearly what attitude those people had towards him when he first came to the city. For a long time he felt like a rat in the city, wanted by everyone to kill him. But all this disappeared with the city lord's respect for him and his gradual increase in loyalty to the city lord.

"Don't be too scared. Although they bully people, they won't really do anything to you." Min Zhizhou looked at Ye Sheng who was chained to a tree, and felt very complicated. Should he thank him for not having the intention to harm others? Otherwise, he would probably end up like Ye Sheng. "Hello, Ye Sheng, the gatekeeper of Lie Ri City. My name is Min Zhizhou. I am a former mercenary and now a resident of this city."

Min Zhizhou looked at the man standing in front of him. He was cold and aloof, a personality that was not easy to obey. Or perhaps it was because the gatekeeper was born and trained to not obey people outside his city.

Gatekeepers are the most important border of a city. This is a link that absolutely cannot go wrong. Since childhood, their education has made their thinking and abilities very different from those of ordinary people. As long as the city survives, gatekeepers will always be the strongest barrier of a city.

By recruiting such a person, Min Zhizhou felt that the city lord's good intentions might be wasted.

However, Min Zhizhou also understood He Fang's dilemma. If possible, he would like to suggest He Fang to simply use the gatekeepers as labor wherever they are needed. However, the city lord insisted on respecting everyone's wishes. Is this so easy to respect?

It is not impossible to force a gatekeeper to obey. The best way is to destroy the Sun City directly. If the city is destroyed, the gatekeeper will lose the city he is guarding and will start to defect.

But we can't destroy a city just for a group of gatekeepers.

"Go and persuade him. I really can't do anything. I really don't know how to communicate with him. He doesn't seem to like listening to me at all!" Min Zhizhou remembered the panicked look on the city lord's face when he came to him, totally at a loss. "You clearly decided to work hard after seeing how good our city is. Why can't he do the same? Is he not smart enough?"

Min Zhizhou was simply at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He really started to obey the city lord after seeing his miracles. Moreover, he didn't belong to a city in the beginning, nor did he have a heart that was fixed on any one place. After his parents passed away, he no longer had any concerns.

This is obviously different from Ye Sheng's situation.

"You are a mercenary." The gatekeeper narrowed his eyes, obviously looking at Min Zhizhou, and then he realized something, "Are you a mercenary who entered Lie Ri City and gave Lie Ri City false information?"

Min Zhizhou's face froze.

His expression was almost unbearable.

He was still asking him to persuade him? How could he persuade him? Now this person had clearly regarded him as an enemy, and it was estimated that nothing he said would work from now on.

Min Zhizhou suddenly felt an anxious gaze coming from behind him. Without turning around, Min Zhizhou knew that the city lord was secretly hiding in a corner, looking forward to what he would do.

Min Zhizhou felt a throbbing pain in his temple. He had only been at peace for a few days.

"This is self-protection." Min Zhizhou felt that he could no longer hold on to his smile. "Once Burning Sun City gets close to Hope City, given Burning Sun City's personality, what do you think will become of the remaining group of old, weak, and disabled people in Hope City?"

Ye Sheng finally frowned slightly: "People who have no labor should be used as fertilizer."

Min Zhizhou rubbed his brows. The gatekeepers were trained by the city according to its needs since childhood. He could understand such an answer.

"Unlike the Lord of Lieyang City, our Lord will not abandon any life. Providing support and care for the elderly is what the Lord has always been doing. He has opened up education and rebuilt the City of Hope. His goals are different from those of Lieyang City." Min Zhizhou tried to find a way to communicate with Ye Sheng.

"This is wishful thinking." Ye Sheng's voice was calm and steady.

"Even after you see this city, do you still think it's a delusion?" Min Zhizhou opened his hands so that Ye Sheng could notice the prosperity of this city. "You won't be invaded by nightmare seeds, you don't have to flee all the time, you don't have to be afraid of fighting any city, you can have your own residence, you can use unlimited land, you don't need a detection team, you don't need fertilizer, you don't even need to be unable to afford food, do you think this is a delusion?"

This is not delusion, this is reality.

The reality that had truly unfolded before Ye Sheng's eyes was an irrefutable reality that seemed like a dream.

Ye Sheng moved his mouth, but he couldn't refute. The huge shock that this city brought to him had completely shattered his original ideas. This was a place he didn't even dare to think about. It was like... the beginning of a new land of hope.

Min Zhizhou noticed Ye Sheng's hesitation and knew that he must have been shaken after seeing such a reality. He said while the iron was hot: "For a gatekeeper, guarding your own city is the most important thing. But are you guarding the city or the life in the city? Can a city without life still be called a city?"

"Mr. Ye." Min Zhizhou put down his hands and asked, "Do you think Lieyang City can protect more lives, or can it be protected here?"

Ye Sheng truly felt the questioning and shock at this sentence. Not long ago, he had heard an answer from the younger city lord which he believed to be correct - "When survival requires sacrifice, then sacrifice is inevitable."

And now the only place that can actually survive and is more likely to survive is obviously this city that he cannot predict.

Shouldn't his firm belief be in favor of the city with the young lord?

Min Zhizhou saw all of Ye Sheng's silence and was slightly relieved. As long as he was thinking, it was good. As long as he was thinking, it proved that there was room for negotiation. He turned around and saw the city lord hiding in the corner, looking at this side with tears in his eyes. It was obvious that he had been helpless because of the taciturn and stubborn Ye Sheng.

"Our city lord has been kind to you until now. He is still secretly observing our conversation in the corner. Believe me, he has no ill intentions." Min Zhizhou knew that the gatekeepers were a group of stubborn and stubborn people, but humans are still humans after all. With the development of civilization, they must have a certain sense of right and wrong. "If possible, put aside your duties as a gatekeeper and talk to the city lord."

"What about you?" Ye Sheng asked suddenly.

"I am just a mercenary. I just want to have enough food and live safely. I don't want to be responsible for the survival of mankind, nor do I intend to protect anyone. The city lord has realized my dream of comfort. I have also seen the city lord's courage as a city lord. I am willing to be loyal to him, and that's all for me."

If it were not for this, Min Zhizhou would not have been so contented to stick to his job as a garbage sorter. Working at the garbage station is just like shopping on Taobao every day. He has filled the wooden house he built with a lot of things he picked up. Owning all these garbage is a kind of happiness to him.

Min Zhizhou noticed that Ye Sheng's attitude was no longer as sharp as before. He turned around and gestured to He Fang, who then slowly came out from the corner.

"It's hard for me to communicate with you, so you can ask Min Zhizhou if you have any questions." He Fang approached Min Zhizhou slowly, "Min Zhizhou is a very capable person, and now other people respect him very much. You can take a look at his work, ask him more questions, stay here for a while, and then think about it and see if you are willing to work for me."

Min Zhizhou turned around suddenly. Why put him here?

He Fang chattered a lot: "If you work for me, you must sign a formal contract. However, because of your attributes, uh... your ability is relatively weak, you definitely can't get the same salary as people in the main city. But with your ability, you can get a much higher salary than the average salary in Hope City. Of course, we need loyal employees. If possible, I hope you can be loyal to me. Also, you can't kill people here. We don't need to use our lives to detect anything. The seeds of nightmare beasts are not a problem for us."

Ye Sheng listened. The young city lord in front of him seemed to be jealous and tempting him to do something, but he didn't look like a bewitching demon at all. Instead, he looked more like a young man who was at a loss what to do to please.

Ye Sheng had always listened carefully to what the boy said, and he had also looked carefully at the boy's city. Just like everything the boy wanted him to do, he did it.

"City Lord." This was the first time Ye Sheng addressed the young man in such a serious manner. He glanced at Min Zhizhou and said, "You should have known us. Why are we so important to you that it is worth your efforts to persuade me?"

He Fang was stunned for a moment, looked at Min Zhizhou, and then looked at Ye Sheng.

Why?

"Because every person is important." Because every N-PC is important.

For He Fang, the intelligent N-PC in "Restart of the Ruins" is like a perfect virtual society for him to escape from the real world. It is not only a game for him to indulge in, but also a kind of sustenance.

In his eyes, these vivid N-PCs are as valuable as real people. When facing these N-PCs, he sometimes feels like he is really facing reality.

In the game, he is completely normal.

He Fang didn't know whether his answer would satisfy the other party. After all, when doing Chinese reading comprehension, the more you write, the easier it is to hit the correct answer. However, after thinking it over, He Fang could only give him this answer that could not be modified.

He Fang was feeling uneasy. He didn't know why he was so nervous facing an N-PC.

Ye Sheng closed his eyes and said, "I don't need anyone to convince me. I have seen what I can see. Please take me back and give me some time to think."

He Fang didn't know what Ye Sheng was thinking, but he respected N-PC and sent Ye Sheng back to the "Land of Hope" as he requested and locked him up with the other gatekeepers.

He Fang would check on Ye Sheng every day, but no matter how he looked at the list of attributes above Ye Sheng's head, his loyalty was always zero.

Min Zhizhou told him that it would be very difficult to recapture a gatekeeper, and even told him a way to destroy the city, but He Fang would definitely not destroy Lieyang City for the gatekeeper.

It seems that the gatekeepers are born with a taciturn personality and are quiet when working. Min Zhizhou said that gatekeepers are born to be trained and obedient. They do not need to have their own personality or thoughts, so this is also an overcoming of the gatekeepers themselves.

But He Fang couldn't understand.

Overcome what?

Overcome thinking?

How can a person live without thinking? The dreams we have while sleeping are also part of thinking.

But surprisingly, there seems to be no more incidents of gatekeepers escaping. Soldiers reported that the gatekeepers have been unusually quiet during this period.

One day, He Fang sneaked into the "Land of Hope" to see if the gatekeeper had figured it out. However, he was caught by Ye Sheng as soon as he showed up.

He Fang looked at Ye Sheng eagerly, and Ye Sheng was also looking at him.

Ye Sheng said, "City Lord, what do you need us to do?"

"Are you willing to do it?" He Fang was confused.

"Yes." said Ye Sheng.

"Don't lie to me, I have a lie detector." He Fang emphasized immediately.

"I am willing to serve the city lord." Ye Sheng said decisively.

However, He Fang's expression was extremely strange.

He glanced at the attribute panel that had been pressing on Ye Sheng's head.

A bright '0' in loyalty.

Did these people want to paralyze his mind and then escape? In the end, did they still choose Lieyang City? This is too difficult to deal with.
