He found a way in
Back mountain.
An Mo and his two companions did not run very far. After making sure that the guards did not catch up with them, he stopped and turned to look at Feng Yang.
"Why did you run away?"
He needed an answer that would convince him.
Feng Yang sighed upon hearing this, "I am a knight of the Holy See, ordered to find the Son of God. You know this."
An Mo nodded when he heard this. Feng Yang had never concealed his identity and purpose from him, which was why he was willing to trust him.
"Bai Lezhan was the former Knight Commander of the Holy See. He left the Holy See in a completely hostile attitude," Feng Yang continued, "I'm worried..."
"You are here."
Before Feng Yang finished speaking, a familiar blond man appeared before them.
An Mo subconsciously stood in front of Feng Yang and Mo Lin, "You again? What's your purpose?"
After he returned to the camp during the day, this blond man suddenly appeared at the wall and kept saying that Yushan City was not suitable for him and asked him to leave as soon as possible, but he could not give any reason.
"Have you been wondering why I said those things to you during the day?" The blond man was very serious. "Now I can tell you the reason."
…
Inside Yushan City.
The hunter team members live near the city lord's mansion. Gu Qian once again thanked the shadows of the mountains and trees all over Yushan City, which prevented his current lack of shadow from being exposed to everyone. "Alien" is still a passionate youth manga rather than a horror manga.
The ball landed on Gu Qian'an's shoulder. "You said Bai Lezhan didn't see you, isn't it because he doesn't want to communicate with you?"
Gu Qinan nodded and expressed his guess, "Bai Lezhan doesn't want to, but he can't."
Yushan City has a rule that no one can enter other people's houses at any time.
Therefore, unless they violated the rules and were caught by the guards, Gu Qian'an and others would not be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
"But the guards... oh, yes, they are exempt from the rules when they are arresting people who violate the rules, so they can enter the city lord's mansion." But Yuanqiu was still a little confused, "But you can't go in, Bai Lezhan can come out."
"He can't," Gu Qi'an said, "The only time the city lord is allowed to go out in Yushan City is when he goes to the concentration area every Wednesday to treat outsiders."
The residents of Yushan City are not divided according to their strength, but according to their identities, into outsiders, ordinary residents, hunting teams, guards, and city lords.
Outsiders live freely in the camp without any restrictions. Ordinary residents have daytime, hunting teams fight enemies at night, and the guards go out at different times according to circumstances. However, the city lord only has one rule: go to the concentration area on Wednesdays.
The ball once said that in its memory, Bai Lezhan would strictly abide by the rules it set like everyone else.
If Bai Lezhan is still the same as before, he will not be able to go out today.
Therefore, only the guards who could temporarily enter other people's rooms were allowed to enter the City Lord's Mansion, take the micro-walkie-talkies and distribute them to them, and then they could have long-distance conversations in their respective rooms.
Gu Qian sat in the chair, with the guards standing behind him, watching him inject energy into the micro-walkie-talkie.
Bai Lezhan's voice came from the intercom. He asked about the details of the scene, whether he knew An Mo, and how he felt when he was fixed by the unknown supernatural power.
Except for the second question, Gu Qi answered truthfully. After all, there were six other people being questioned at the same time. If he lied, it would be easy for others to find out.
After listening to his words, Bai Lezhan was silent for a while, and then spoke directly.
"Guards, have all outsiders who have entered Yushan City sign the treaty immediately and then abandon the camp. From now on, anyone who wants to enter Yushan City must sign the treaty at the city gate." Bai Lezhan added the regulations word by word, "And from today on, ordinary residents are not allowed to go out at any time, and members of the hunting team are not allowed to stay outside after driving away the aliens."
"As for the three outsiders who fled to the back mountain, if they return to Yushan City, bring them to the City Lord's Mansion."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flashing light on the micro-walkie-talkie dimmed, and the guard quickly left Gu Qian'an's room with the walkie-talkie.
"What does Bai Lezhan mean by this?" Yuanqiu was a little confused. "To enter Yushan City, you have to sign a contract. After signing the contract, you are not allowed to leave. Does this mean that everyone is controlled and not allowed to escape to the back mountain?"
"Not necessarily," Gu Qinan shook his head, "He may have recognized this ability and wanted to protect the residents in the city."
But to verify whose guess is correct, it depends on how much evidence Shadow can find.
…
The shadow in the City Lord's Mansion was still standing in the empty room. The room was silent. Gu Qi'an looked around, observing where he was hiding.
When he chose this room, he knew it must be important. After all, compared to the other rooms with a thin layer of dust on the door handles, this room was obviously frequently visited.
However, Gu Qian'an did not expect that this room was actually an archive room, with various paper materials densely placed in the cabinets.
It memorized the order in which the materials were placed and took out a copy to look at. As the contents unfolded line by line, his brows gradually wrinkled.
The materials placed in this room are not so much a record of all the deaths of Yushan City's residents over the years as they are a history of the changes in Yushan City's rules.
[In December of the same year, a quarrel broke out between a resident named Qi Jianshan and a resident named Mengzhou, and both died at the same time. The rule was changed from "strictly prohibiting mutual killing" to "strictly prohibiting killing among residents"]
[In July of the second year, resident Du Xin, due to his supernatural powers, reflexively attacked resident Xu Zhi, who collided with him, and Du Xin died on the spot. The rule was changed from "strictly prohibiting residents from killing each other" to "strictly prohibiting killing caused by subjective consciousness"]
…
It can be seen that at the beginning, Bai Lezhan's rules were very loose. Not only did he only set one rule, but he also consciously relaxed the restrictions in order to save as many lives as possible.
But in the seventh year after Yushan City was established, the death toll in the town soared, with more than 700 people dying within a year. No matter how Bai Lezhan lowered his requirements, the death toll did not stop.
"Blue crystal." Gu Qian'an and Yuanqiu said the cause of death of these people almost at the same time. Seven years is enough for a person to reach the limit of his tolerance for blue crystal.
"My energy is one level higher than all other powers, so Bai Lezhan's power cannot prevent the influence of the blue crystal on the residents." said the ball.
But Bai Lezhan was not aware of this. In the eighth year, he went against his usual practice and formulated 315 rules in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, requiring everyone to strictly abide by them. Although hundreds of residents fled from the back mountain because they could not bear the control during that year, no one died.
"They didn't flee from Yushan City," Gu Qi'an said, "it was Kingsman who came."
These residents who were attracted to the back mountain by the rich blue crystal energy were transformed into different species with the help of Kingsnian and barely survived.
But in Bai Lezhan's eyes, it was the lax rules that led to the deaths of residents, while the strict restrictions saved their lives.
This has plunged Yushan City into a vicious cycle. The increasingly stringent rules have made it difficult for residents to adapt, and they often violate them inadvertently. However, the deaths after violating the rules have made Bai Lezhan feel that this aspect will cause harm, and thus he has formulated even more stringent rules.
He even strictly controlled the residents' diet, leaving them with only enough energy to maintain basic physical activities.
——If you don’t have extra energy, you won’t break the rules.
"Bai Lezhan's original intention was good," Yuanqiu sighed, "He wanted to save more people, but he couldn't do it, so his actions became more extreme."
"No," Gu Qi'an said calmly, "everything that happened in Yushan City happened precisely because he thought he could do it."
Because he believes he can do it, he cannot get over the deaths of the residents and keeps trying to find a way to save everyone.
Looking at the death records in front of him, Gu Qian'an felt that he had found the entry point.
…
Bai Lezhan walked down the stairs. He was going to the archives to record the rules that had been changed today.
But when the door of the archive room was pushed open, he saw a silver-haired boy leaning against the wall, casually flipping through the past of Yushan City.
When did he come in and why didn't the barrier sound any alarm?
Bai Lezhan's vigilance instantly reached its highest point. He recognized this face. This was the man who killed two S-level psychics in the Black Tower!
However, the other party ignored his presence and continued to look at the information in his hand leisurely.
Most importantly, he was smiling.
He looked at the death records of the residents one by one and actually laughed.
This discovery made Bai Lezhan furious, "What are you laughing at?"
"Do you want to know what I'm laughing at?"
The silver-haired boy said this almost at the same time, "Of course I am laughing at your stupidity for killing so many esperants."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" This sentence completely ignited Bai Lezhan's anger.
He worries about the deaths of residents every day, and he experiments and adjusts every rule that is about to be issued on himself. Everything he has done over the years is to protect the safety of the residents of Yushan City. Although he has experienced failures, the number of deaths of residents has indeed decreased over the years. What does this outsider know?
Bai Lezhan was not afraid of the opponent. He was very weak, and his supernatural powers did not enhance his attack power at all. He might not be able to survive even one move from the opponent, but - the opponent could definitely not kill him.
As long as the opponent attacks him, his special ability will take effect and he will always be at his best. No matter how strong the opponent is, he will get weak. At that time, who says that an ant cannot shake a tree?
However, the other party turned a deaf ear to his words and actions, and slowly put the data back into the cabinet.
"I'm saying that you and the residents of Yushan City will all die."
The boy's voice was very confident, and his words didn't sound like a threat but rather a warning.
There was no joy or sadness in those azure eyes. He seemed like a god looking down at all living things from the sky, announcing the predetermined future.
