Chapter 44
The wind was howling and the setting sun was blood-red.
The young man wearing a silver mask sat quietly on the blood-stained judgement seat, with strange reliefs and ferocious animal-headed stone statues from deep space civilization behind him, quietly overlooking the area below.
The guests' panic-stricken and confused state did not affect him at all. With his slender five fingers covering one side of his cheek, he tilted his head and stared at all the living beings. His dark eyes were calm and peaceful, as if he was the deity who walked out of a Renaissance oil painting.
Amid the noise, he lowered his eyes impatiently, his long eyelashes hiding the cold light in his eyes:
"It's so noisy."
As soon as the words fell, a murderous aura instantly swept the entire place!
In an instant, everyone shut their mouths in fear, and the entire courtroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! I’m going crazy! (distorted) (going crazy) (laughing heartily) (screaming in the dark) (twitching and squirming) (struggling to get up and grabbing the male god’s trouser legs) (being kicked and vomiting blood) (lying down peacefully)”
"Guliang! You! Are! My God!!!"
"Can I say that my brother and I were just cursing the headquarters online for being stupid? Now we are both immediately shocked. It's really a sudden turn of events. The headquarters' imagination is too amazing!"
"So now everyone thinks that Gu Liang shot and killed the city lord, right?"
"Of course they do. Their eyes are not high-speed cameras. Who would have thought that it was Captain Yi who shot the city lord with a single shot from 1,100 yards away?"
"It's really cool, the cooperation this time is perfect! I give full marks to Gu Liang for his pretentiousness!"
"Damn it, the moment he sat on it, I really screamed like crazy at home! That mummy was nothing but a demon god, Gu Liang is way better than him!"
"I just came to my senses now. I've taken 800 screenshots from my photo album and I can't bear to delete any of them. This light and shadow, this atmosphere, this aura. Lord Demon, I want to be your believer!!"
"I replayed it in slow motion. When the city lord was killed, I was so frightened that I went numb. The visual impact of the scene must have been even greater, otherwise those lunatics wouldn't have been so frightened."
"Gu Liang was really steady. When the bullet hit the target, his pupils shrank for a moment, but he reacted immediately. He performed flawlessly, and even the hand holding the gun did not shake."
"I was almost mad when that group of people mocked him just now, but now, hahaha, they are all acting like grandsons in front of the special forces. Did you see the guy who tried to get close to Jin Xuan but was electrocuted?"
"I see. It's the wizard who jumped out to be the city lord's lackey. In two words, he deserves it!"
"I only hate that I wasn't there. I originally had a chance because I was a sports student, but because of a change of mind, I changed Moda to my second choice... I hate it!"
"I hate not being there +1."
"Does the Demon Lord still need believers? I can wash dishes, pots, mop the floor, and cook well. It's no problem for me to warm your bed! (Starry Eyes.jpg)"
"Don't even think about it! It's not even dark yet, wake up! The Demon God's followers have now reached more than 2 billion people, and even I, a loyal follower of the Flying Ramen God Cult, have decided to join."
"Cooking doesn't care, but the devil does hhhh"
"The Savior Bishop will never admit defeat!"
"...You guys are so boring. The leaders of all the cults are alone, but they still fight every day. Why don't you just merge them and call them the Demon God Savior Cult? They save the world during the day and go crazy and destroy the world at night, just like Shiva."
"You know what, they really look alike. Shiva is the Hindu god of both fertility and destruction, creation and destruction. He has a dual personality of good and evil, and is both irritable and irritable, yet gentle and kind... He is simply a replica of Gu Liangyi."
"Get lost, Gu Liangyi is a native Chinese!"
"It's just an analogy. Many ancient myths on Earth have gods with dual personalities like this. Shiva is just the most famous one."
"It's really scary to think about it. Could it be that the gods in mythology really exist, and Gu Liang is their reincarnation?"
These comments were keenly noticed by the staff member in charge of online public opinion within the command center. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to record them and submit them to the expert group for discussion together with their 20,800th possible analysis of Gu Liangyi becoming a representative of civilization.
There are many different opinions about why Gu Liangyi was chosen, but the command center has always believed that it must have a lot to do with his dual personality.
Do the devil who destroys the world and the savior who creates the world represent the good and evil sides of human beings?
"Compared to Shiva, a god who destroys the world at any time, I still prefer the opinions of our Chinese experts," her colleague beside her looked up at the picture on the monitoring screen and sighed, "Gu Liang's two personalities are like the Tai Chi diagram, black and white blending together, you are in me and I am in you. Although it is rare, you can still find the shadow of one personality in another. I have this feeling too."
The staff member nodded. "Yes, actually, when I was in school, I often couldn't tell which personality was active, and I didn't know what those people on the Internet were arguing about. The disease of dual personality is easy to split into a personality that is completely opposite to the main personality. Obviously, it has been medically proven that it is the same person."
"Who knows," her colleague shrugged, as if she was used to it. "Anyway, I think the two personalities get along pretty well. Is this probably what the fan circle calls loan-fighting? When I first watched a shoujo anime, the audience would fight for more than a decade over who the male lead loved. Even when they were pregnant with their second child, they were still arguing with people online. I admired their perseverance."
“…………”
The staff member said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the Mo University can't connect to our network, so let's just watch the live broadcast."

"Does anyone have any objections?"
In the Central Court of Justice, Gu Liangyou sat back in the city lord's seat, his eyes casually sweeping over the people below.
The guests who had their heads pointed at by the special forces swallowed their saliva and shook their heads desperately at the same time.
In this case, who dares to object?
"That's good," Gu Liangyou said coldly, "Continue bidding."
“…………”
The arrogant young man's expression was completely obscured by the silver mask, and half of the city lord's body was still hanging on the wall. The people below didn't even dare to look up at him.
Hearing the cold voice without a trace of ripples echoing in the huge courtroom, many timid princes and nobles began to tremble in fear - who would have the mood to participate in the auction when they couldn't even save their own lives?
Therefore, a dull silence is inevitable.
Gu Liangyou frowned fiercely: "What happened?"
Gu Liangyi couldn't help but laugh: "You are too fierce, let me do it."
"…Will wearing a mask make any difference?" Gu Liangyou muttered, "But these guys are too timid. I clearly didn't do anything. It was Yi Yan who fired the shot."
"That's exactly what the command wanted when they made the plan," Gu Liangyi comforted him. "It's normal for them to be afraid, but none of these people have not killed a few people before. They are just worried about their own safety and don't understand why the city lord was suddenly killed."
When it comes to observing human nature, the main personality is far more proficient than the secondary personality that has only existed for half of his life.
Feeling You's thought, "It's so troublesome, why not just kill half of the people here?", Gu Liang sighed and took over the initiative of his body.
The young man sitting in the judge's seat straightened his back, put down his crossed legs, and his originally casual and flamboyant posture became slightly restrained.
He rested his elbows on the armrests, crossed his fingers and placed them under his chin. His voice suddenly became soft, changing from its previous cold tone:
"To be honest, I am looking forward to this auction. Considering that it is not easy for everyone to come all the way here, the starting price of this item is only ten magic crystals."
"Everyone is free to bid now, don't be shy."
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and still no one spoke.
As if sensing their hesitation and fear, Gu Liangyi took a deep breath and added fuel to the fire: "It just so happens that there is another vacant judge seat now. If anyone is willing to bid for this item, I don't mind giving him this extra seat. But if no one is willing to participate..."
He paused and said in a somewhat uncertain voice:
“I don’t know what will happen next.”
Gu Liangyou couldn't bear to watch the host's clumsy threat skills: "You call this a threat? Speak with more confidence!"
Gu Liang blinked his eyes and looked at the commotion of the crowd below, but felt that he had done a pretty good job.
"But it's very effective. Look, the rest of the people are starting to tremble too."
The difference between the two personalities only made the guests more frightened.
They thought from the bottom of their hearts that this person was just a moody and neurotic Lord. How could a powerful demon suddenly become easy to bully? How is that possible!
In the last second he was sitting on the bloody throne, suppressing the whole audience with murderous aura, and in the next second he became warm and polite, and even said something like "considering that it is not easy for everyone to come all the way here" - the demon god who blew off half of the city lord's body without blinking an eye began to care about them. Who the hell can stand this?
"You guys are not bidding yet. Is there any difficulty?" Gu Liangyi asked again in confusion, "Or are you not satisfied with my product?"
Everyone in the audience was so frightened that they almost shook their heads off.
"In that case, let's get started." Gu Liang nodded and announced.
The command center had considered everything very carefully, and fearing that the atmosphere would not be lively enough, they even arranged for someone to be their assistant among the guests.
"I'll offer fifteen magic crystals!"
A man in black robe raised his hand high, receiving admiring glances from those around him.
However, with this person taking the lead, the other guests who were attracted by the huge power of guns and the qualification of the judge seat also began to participate hesitantly:
"I...I'll offer eighteen."
"I'll give twenty."
"I'll give you twenty-five!"
Gu Liangyi listened to the bidding voices coming one after another and said with satisfaction: "See, I said they were just embarrassed."
Gu Liangyou felt something was wrong, but the main personality was too determined, causing his thoughts to go astray: "Tsk, I didn't do anything to them, but a group of people were scared like this."
"One thousand, six hundred and sixty magic crystals!"
A hoarse shout suddenly pulled Gu Liangyi's thoughts back to the auction site. The group of people in front of him were obviously blood-thirsty. They were bidding more fiercely than each other, and it seemed that they wanted to eat alive the mages who were bidding on the opposite side.
All the Lord Mo present were happy to see this happen. The scientists at the command center watched this scene with great anticipation and even began to cheer them on.
Add some more! You can do it!
Finally, the gun was sold at a high price of 2,840 magic crystals, and several heads of research institutes were grinning from ear to ear - even if the original income of the shop was doubled, it would not be this much, and what they would get would definitely exceed their expectations!
Although the buyer who won the bid for the gun successfully defeated his opponent, he also suffered a heavy loss.
The mage was panting heavily, his eyes were red with excitement, and when he took the gun from Jin Xuan, his hands were shaking, and his legs were as soft as two noodles, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Thank you for your generosity," Jin Xuan said to him in a sweet voice, "As a reward, you can leave the auction now."
The other party swallowed and subconsciously glanced at the judge's seat, but did not dare to ask for anything more. He could only take the "treasure" that he had bought with all his money, stumbled out of the courtroom through the door opened by the special operations team, leaving a group of guests who had not yet "donated generously" staring at his back jealously.
The wizard walked out of the tower in a daze, but the moment he looked up, he suddenly stopped.
He thought it was already dark outside, but the scene he saw made him open his eyes wide in disbelief—
The entire street was as clear as day. The several drones hovering in the sky were like neatly arranged dazzling morning stars, projecting beams of dazzling light onto the earth.
The light dispelled the thick fog of the night and enveloped the entire city of Morton in light.
“What…what is this!?”
The wizard shouted in panic, holding the baby tightly in his arms.
"Specially used for earthquake relief, emergency lighting drone," Jin Xuan said leisurely behind him, "One drone can illuminate 10,000 square meters of land. We call it the brightest star in the night sky."
In addition to these drones, a large number of tanks, military armored vehicles, weapons, ammunition and personnel have all been stationed in the city.
The checkpoints of the fortress are now in name only for them. This time, Zong Qinyuan did not display Mo Da's usual simple and low-key spirit at all. Instead, he ordered the special forces to control every main road and important location in the city in a high-profile manner.
While the auction is not over yet and those mages have not left yet, we should first stabilize the ordinary races in the city, and then we can take our time and tackle the toughest races bit by bit.
To describe it in one sentence from Earth Live Studio, it is -
When the devil comes, the city will be peaceful. When the devil comes, the blue sky will come!
The author has something to say:
"Shiva is both a Hindu and a religious figure..." It comes from online information and has been modified and deleted.
The last sentence is adapted from "Let the Bullets Fly", a classic that will be passed down through the ages.
