Chapter 81 Who Killed the Prophet (Part 1)

Unfortunately, there was no milk tea in Linran's shop, so in the end Linran poured tea for Li Li.

Li Li looked at the tea under the candlelight. The brown water surface was stained orange-red, and seemed very bitter.

She smiled and looked at Lin Ran who was sitting opposite her: "You don't seem surprised that I'm here."

The orange-haired woman was like a still moth in the dim light, quietly lowering her purple eyes. Just looking at her face, you would never tell that she was a mother. She looked extremely young and gentle. The only thing that could reveal her age was her lifeless temperament and those dull eyes.

Hearing this, she tilted her head slightly and said, "Why are you surprised?"

She seemed to have a thick filter over Li Li, and said as a matter of course: "You have infinite possibilities, you just came to me now."

This made Li Li recall what she had done in front of Lin Ran. In the end, she felt that the only thing worthy of praise was that she saved people several times.

But based on this alone, is it worthy for an SS-ranked psychic, a strong man ranked within the top ten in the empire, to say something like a compliment?

On the surface, Qiang Lili just smiled politely, and then said: "Then my question, the reason why I came here, can you also answer it?"

"Of course," Lin Ran said, "You are different."

"If Ruye is disobedient and my brother has no opinion of his own, you are the only one who can take over my place in the entire Ranmu City." The orange-haired woman said seriously, as if this was an established fact.

Seeing that Li Li's expression did not change and she did not respond to her words, she repeated it again, pausing on each word: "You are different."

Li Li felt that Lin Ran might have something in his brain, so she put thick filters on her.

For such things, Li Li would just nod and then make the best use of it.

"Who was that man you told me about in the library?" she asked.

Li Li never forgot what she wanted to do. She came to Ranmu City as Heige just to find out what the prophet experienced in the end.

There is no definite statement yet on whether the comic will have two lines or not, but the plot development here will eventually be presented in the comics one day.

The black-haired girl's narrowed eyes slightly opened, revealing another blood-red color.

Lin Ran answered without hesitation: "They all call him the prophet."...

The candlelight flickered, and the black-haired girl sitting on the floor smiled wider.

"Who killed him?" Li Li asked.

"I." Lin Ran said.

A gust of wind blew into the room and instantly extinguished the candle.

In the darkness, Lin Ran said slowly: "I killed him with my own hands, and then sent his head to Qu."

The tone is natural and calm.

However, this calm made the atmosphere tense.

The wind stopped and the candlelight flickered again.

Lin Ran still had that blank look on her face, but the person sitting opposite her took off his mask of smile and looked at her expressionlessly with his red eyes.

The red marks of the wings at the corners of the eyes seemed to be stretching and turning bright red. And the candlelight in the pupils seemed to be emitting coldness.

"Why?" The words that came out of that face without a smile were still cheerful, "Your goal should not be the one and a half acres of land of the Superpower Guild."

"That man is causing a stir." Lin Ran said.

"He is inciting violence and misleading people. Many people, nobles and commoners, believed his lies, causing the empire to fall into civil strife and the people to suffer." She was sure of this, so she asked in a slightly puzzled tone, "Isn't it obvious enough six years ago? He will only bring disaster."

Six years ago, the prophet gathered a group of supernatural beings oppressed by the nobles and challenged the rule of the nobles.

With powerful companions, excellent spiritual leaders, and consistent beliefs and goals, that was the most prosperous time for the former Superpower Guild.

They liberated cities along the way, established their own strongholds, eliminated aristocratic rule for those cities, and gained new life after the pain.

Then it all ended at the hands of the nobles.

"You think it was a disaster brought by the prophet." The black-haired girl's tone turned cold.

The traitor transferred the prophet away, and the nobles entered the scene and massacred the former supernatural guild leaders who were unprepared. The bloody violence did not stop after that.

They used the survivors to threaten the surviving prophet, forcing him to come to the guillotine built for him by the nobles.

And now you say it's all the prophet's fault?

"If it weren't for him, none of that would have happened." Lin Ran was completely unaware of the change in the atmosphere and continued to express his own opinion, "He deserves to die."

She should have noticed that the person in front of her had clenched his hands, but she was just wondering why the other person couldn't understand.

"So what did you do?" the black-haired girl asked, no longer smiling. "You killed more than 10,000 people, but what did you do?"

"In the turmoil caused by that man, the only way to eradicate evil is to use severe law." Lin Ran said slowly, "Let them know that they must not cross the bottom line. Use the death of a few people to make most people fear the law, and create the city of innocence that I hope for."

She paused, then continued, "I succeeded at first."

"I overestimated myself. I have entered old age, and my body can no longer bear the high intensity use of my supernatural powers." She seemed to be reflecting on herself. "In the first two years, I was able to bring order to the entire Ranmu City. But starting from the third year, I began to struggle. Until now, I have to rest for seven hours every night to maintain order during the day."

"After seeing the Eternal Night, do you still think you are right?" The black hair fell down, hiding the red eyes in shadow.

"Eternal night is not what I want, but Ruye just listened to that man's sweet words and became possessed." Lin Ran raised his eyes, his orange hair hung down from behind his ears, a strand of it scattered in front of his eyes, and his purple pupils were faintly visible in the back.

"Ha." The person opposite stood up and chuckled.

"The prophet was killed because he caused the trouble. What about the An family? Why did you participate in the extermination of the An family?"

She lowered her eyes and looked at the gentle orange-haired beauty in the candlelight.

"It is worth sacrificing a few for the empire." Lin Ran looked up and said.

The atmosphere has solidified and dropped below freezing point.

But when it comes to being infected, one is still ignorant and unaware.

She has low emotional intelligence and lives in her own world. She doesn't know how to read people's faces and can't communicate normally with others.

Li Li didn't know why she caught Lin Ran's eye, but she couldn't agree with Lin Ran's thoughts.

Neither could Haig.

"Let's stop here." Li Li said.

She originally just wanted to confirm the relationship between Lin and Lin Ran. Now that it has been confirmed, and she also got a lot of additional information, it can be said that she has returned with a full load.

At least for now, she would not have a direct conflict with Lin Ran, which would be irrational.

Lin Ran said: "I think we have communicated with each other's inner thoughts and should have become close friends."

"You and I will not be friends." Li Lize refused decisively.

She turned around and tried to leave in the dim candlelight.

"You don't agree with my idea, why?" Lin Ran finally found the problem, she asked, "Because I hate that man?"

The figure in the darkness paused.

There were footsteps outside the door, and a little candlelight leaked through the open door.

"Master? Are you awake?" The servant came up the stairs holding a lamp.

At this moment, inside the house, Lin Ran raised her head and leaned forward, as if trying to hold back the person she thought was her friend who was about to leave.

"I am very selfish." The figure did not turn back, but whispered, "I only care about the few who are sacrificed and the few who are taken away."

The next second, the light in the servant's hand illuminated the corridor and shone into the door.

The black figure inside the door disappeared on the spot.

Lin Ran stared blankly at the door which was gradually getting brighter, and with empty eyes he saw the servant who walked in.

She was rejected completely, without any reservation.

"Master?" the servant asked softly.

The candlelight was obscured by the brighter light. Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "I seem to have made my friend angry. What should I do?"

The servant thought he hadn't heard clearly: "Uh, friend?"

How could Lin Ran, who stays in the attic every day and never goes out of the house, have friends?

The servant was shocked and whispered, "Generally speaking, you should apologize."

Hearing this, Lin Ran's eyes gradually brightened up: "Yes, apologize."

She looked at the servant and said, "Make arrangements. Three days later, I will come forward and publicly apologize to her."

The servant was startled, and only agreed after confirming it again and again.

This is the first time in six years that Lin Ran has asked to leave the attic, and his first appearance since executing the former prophet of the Supernatural Guild.

...

On the other side, Li Li dispelled the illusion and turned around: "Let's go."

An Heyu saw that she was still smiling, but she seemed to be in a bad mood. He wanted to ask what happened but didn't say anything. He just said, "According to the original plan?"

"Yeah." Li Li responded.

She touched her face and snapped her fingers casually. Her hair grew longer and the red lines at the corners of her eyes turned into a silver-rimmed mask.

Lin Ran would not be a friend, and that was indeed the case for Haig.

She didn't know why Lin Ran trusted her so much just because she saved her once, nor did she know why this trust was so deep.

But they will not be on the same path.

"I'm very selfish," she whispered.

The night wind blew the treetops. An Heyu turned his head slightly and looked at Li Li who was gradually walking away.

At the same time, the dead spirits still in the house bid farewell to the housekeeper.

"I'm still a little worried." Qin Qian said, "I've been suspicious of someone before, and I want to go and take a look."

"Do you need me to give a message to the young master?" asked the butler.

"If I don't get to the Superpower Guild in time by tomorrow morning, we'll talk about it later." Qin Qian said.

The butler nodded approvingly, satisfied that he didn't have to disturb Lin Ruyue.

So he asked, "So where are you going?"

"District 13." said the undead.

...

Although there were some twists and turns, Li Li finally made it to District 3.

Originally, they were going to come to District 3 to take a look at the new organization and give it a name.

The night wind brought with it a sense of summer heat. Li Li and An Heyu were walking one after the other on the road.

Li Li returned to her Haig outfit, with a faint smile on her face and her hands in her windbreaker pockets, seeming to be in a better mood.

An Heyu, who was still dressed in women's clothes, saw that she seemed to have calmed down, so he asked, "Can I change too?"

"Of course." Li Li turned her head and before An Heyu showed a surprised expression, she stretched out a finger and shook it, "No."

An Heyu was about to be happy: "..."

She was teasing him, wasn't she?
