Dingyuan City Lord's Mansion.
After receiving the news that Li Xian was arrested, Jiang Xuning was not as happy as others. Instead, he immediately began to prepare a plan for a head-on battle with Yan Song and others.
Having been enemies with Yan Song for such a long time, Jiang Xuning understood the personalities of everyone in the opposing camp. This group of people wanted to enjoy themselves and become the masters of Dingyuan City, but they didn't want to fight with other superpowers with real swords and guns and get hurt.
Therefore, Jiang Xuning made Yan Song believe that he, who was already weak, would not live long, and that they could easily take Dingyuan City after his death, thereby making this group of people content with the status quo and stabilize the situation.
It's not that he really has no way to deal with Li Xian, it's just that the benefit of keeping him alive is greater. Now that Li Xian has been arrested, Yan Song and others have lost their stable source of supplies and will definitely plunder the surrounding residents.
Unlike Li Xian who only has speed but low combat ability, when Yan Song and others attack the residents, they have to pay not only with their living supplies but also with their lives.
Jiang Xuning sent people to investigate the situation on Yan Song's side while constantly changing the battle plan. But even so, when Mo Lian came, he still said, "You did a great job. Not only did you capture Li Xian, but you also took back the supplies he had stolen. The residents in the city all praised you."
Mo Lian was a little nervous when she heard this. It was the first time she received so much recognition from so many people and she was at a loss. She raised her hands and explained, "It's not my credit. This trap was taught to me by Sister Yueke when we were in Quanzhang City."
Jiang Xuning was somewhat surprised when he heard this. He knew Mo Lin's character well. With Mo Lin's character, how could she get along so well with the rebels?
"It sounds like you get along well with the rebels. Would you mind telling me how you met?"
Jiang Xuning's words triggered Mo Lin's memories. She joined the resistance army because she taught knowledge to the children in the inner camp. The reason why this matter fell on her was because...
An Qi pushed Deng Zhu in front of her.
Deng Zhu once mentioned that An Qi's action at that time was to hope that she would bring Mo Lin to join the resistance army. This remark, which Mo Lin once sneered at, now made him feel cold.
If An Qi had planned for her to join the resistance, does that mean the other party had already anticipated today's situation?
She thought she was doing her best to compensate all the residents of Dingyuan City who were affected by her father's death. With the recognition of the people and the trust of Jiang Xuning, her life was getting better.
But in reality, she unknowingly followed the arrangement that An Qi had made long ago?
A strong sense of fear swept through Mo Lin's heart, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She saw the worry in Jiang Xuning's eyes but could not hear what he said.
There was only one thought in her mind, she wanted to survive, she didn't want to be a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, she wanted to escape!
"Mo Lin? Mo Lin? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xuning looked at the girl who seemed to be possessed. His special ability allowed him to easily sense the other person's emotions.
It was a fear so thick that it could not be dissolved, like an omnipresent shadow enveloping Mo Lin tightly, dragging her down.
But what he couldn't figure out was, which of his words caused the other party to have a stress reaction?
Just as he was about to force Mo Lian to wake up, the girl suddenly looked up at him.
"I want to leave," Mo Lian's hands were still shaking, but she quickly expressed her intention, "I will die if I stay here, An Qi will kill me!"
Jiang Xuning frowned when he heard An Qi's name and answered tentatively, "An Qi left you in Dingyuan City. He has no reason to come and kill you again. Even if he comes, we will do our best to protect you."
Mo Lian shook his head and explained to Jiang Xuning as quickly as possible how terrifying An Qi was. "I have never escaped his control, but I didn't kill you. I disobeyed his orders. Once he has free time, he will definitely kill me!"
But Jiang Xuning did not comfort her as usual. Instead, he asked, "Have you ever thought that if you escape and An Qi comes to Dingyuan City and can't find you, will the residents in the city be in danger?"
He stared into Mo Lian's eyes. "The death of the city lord led to Yan Song's rebellion. The people in the city suffered heavy casualties. They have only had a few days of peace recently. You just walked away. Have you ever thought about getting them into trouble again?"
The sharp words obviously stimulated Mo Lin's already unstable emotions. The little girl opened her mouth to shout something but no sound came out, and tears kept flowing from her eyes.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have had such fantasies and thought about curing my throat. I shouldn't have killed my father and plunged Dingyuan City into war. I caused the deaths of so many residents. So, can you kill me now?" Mo Lian's hands were shaking uncontrollably due to his emotional excitement. "Would you all be satisfied if I was the one who died in the Black Tower?"
"I just want to live. I just want to live as a healthy person, not as a useless waste that needs everyone's care!"
"If you think you did something wrong, why don't you try to make amends?" Jiang Xuning looked at Mo Lian. He didn't say that Mo Lian was right, even if he really thought so.
After all, it is understandable that a person who has lost his voice wants to heal himself, and as an adult who has experienced war, the city lord is capable of taking responsibility for every decision he makes. It is somewhat ridiculous to blame Mo Lian, a child, for his death.
Even though Mo Jin was his savior, it didn't mean that he would lose his mind and fail to distinguish between good and evil.
But now Mo Lin obviously couldn't hear these words. At that moment, the guilt and self-loathing of the little girl even overwhelmed her fear. She believed that she was wrong, so she didn't listen to anyone's advice.
"Just like today, you caught Li Xian, and the residents in the city no longer have to worry about their supplies being stolen at any time," Jiang Xuning looked at Mo Lin's red eyes, "Since you feel guilty about what you did, then compensate the people you hurt instead of being afraid to face it and running away."
"I am now telling you something that the City Lord has not taught you. Everyone makes mistakes, especially someone as young as you. But if you know you are wrong, you must correct it and take responsibility for it. Simply avoiding the problem will not solve it."
Mo Lian lowered his head and did not move. Jiang Xuning did not say anything more. "That's all I have to say. If you still want to escape, I will let Jiang Yuan take you away tomorrow morning. If you are willing to take on the responsibility of the city lord, then come to my study."
Mo Lian left the room in silence. At the same time, a supernatural being walked in with a look of surprise and said to Jiang Xuning, "Yan Song and the others are all dead!"
"What?" Jiang Xuning couldn't believe his ears.
The psychic quickly said, "It's true, and judging by the wounds on their bodies, they killed each other."
…
church.
On the second day after being introduced by Fang Jianling, Gu Qian'an came to the church again. The reason was simple: An Mo was invited here by Fang Jianling!
Gu Qian'an's supernatural power allowed him to arrive quickly, but the conversation in the church had obviously been going on for some time. As soon as Gu Qian'an came out of the shadows, he heard Fang Jianling's unhurried voice.
"The data you got from the underground laboratory was maliciously tampered with. The one I gave you is the real one." The sound of the Pope's scepter hitting the ground was extremely crisp. "You don't want to believe it because you have a misunderstanding of me, or you don't want to admit the sins you have committed."
These words made Gu Qian'an instantly understand what the two were talking about, but he didn't understand why Fang Jianling knew that the data was falsified.
An Mo could not possibly hand over the data to Fang Jianling, and the stimulation he received in the forbidden area accelerated the progress of the parasitic species in An Mo's body, which was exactly the same effect that Fang Jianling wanted to achieve through the data. Logically speaking, Fang Jianling should not have known that there was something wrong with the data!
An Mo was obviously greatly shocked after seeing the data, and took a few steps back in disbelief, "Are you saying that when I am on the verge of death, my supernatural power will go out of control and absorb the vitality of other people, using their lives in exchange for my own survival? But..."
But he was also fatally injured in Quanzhang City. The rebels who rescued him at the time did not mention this, and there were no casualties within the rebels. So was Fang Jianling lying to him?
But stimulated by the image, some vague memories emerged in An Mo's mind. It seemed that the vines really entangled him...
At this moment, An Mo retreated to the edge of the magic circle. The gap as long as his index finger was completely covered by his feet, and the crystal blue light began to flow within the magic circle!
"What's going on? Didn't you say the magic circle was broken?" Gu Qian immediately looked at the ball, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.
Fortunately, the ball's scanning function is as useful as ever.
"It's the blue crystal energy in An Mo's body," Yuanqiu said in disbelief, "He stood at the gap in the magic circle. The residual energy you gave him in Quanzhang City circulated in his body and just completed the magic circle."
Gu Qi'an took a deep breath and said, "The human body can conduct electricity and act as wires, right?"
This is a world of supernatural powers. Can we please not respect real science so much in a place like this?
"Move Fang Jianling away," the sphere commanded. "Once the formation is activated, it does not need anyone to supply it with energy. It will be useless if you move An Mo away. Move the target in the center away and the formation will naturally stop."
Fang Jianling, who was standing in the center of the formation, was already panicking. He knew clearly the function of this formation, and he also knew that once his internal energy increased and he broke through after reaching S-level, he would become a vessel of God.
In the face of a life-and-death crisis, all his plans were no longer effective. He wanted to escape, but the activated formation raised a barrier that held him tightly inside. "No... I don't want to be fused!"
Just when he was in despair, the shadow beneath him suddenly shrank and condensed, completely swallowing him up in an instant.
However, the magic circle did not stop as Yuanqiu said. When Fang Jianling disappeared, An Mo subconsciously stepped forward to grab him, but instead made himself the new target of the spell!
The surrounding energy rushed into An Mo's body like crazy, and even some of the energy in Gu Qi'an's body was absorbed away.
The huge energy impact caused An Mo to faint directly, but a second before he fainted, a scene he had never seen before flashed before his eyes -
An Qi stood among corpses with a blue crystal in his hand, and around him stood all the psychics that An Mo knew and a large army-like crowd. All of them reached out to An Qi, trying to stop him from absorbing the blue crystal.
