Chapter 86 The City Lord is Serious
The wind was howling, and Dan's skirt was fluttering.
And in the midst of this commotion, he spoke.
"Don't touch anything from District 13."
However, what he said was not a supernatural power that could kill people, but a soft concession.
Dan hugged his stuffed rabbit tighter and stepped back.
He chose to give in.
Smart move, Li Li thought.
With a slightly interested gaze, she saw the final outcome of the confrontation through the crows circling in the sky.
The undead followed Dan into Area 13, which was heavily guarded by Dan.
"She didn't do anything." said An Heyu, who didn't know that the person opposite him was a cross-dressing man.
He could probably guess what Li Li was thinking.
There is an S-class in District 13, and this S-class probably has some kind of agreement with the Lin family. They cannot fight against the entire Lin family, but they can make them collapse internally.
But it was obvious that this S-rank member had no intention of rebelling against the Lin noble family.
He has leverage, and it is a very important leverage in the hands of the Lin clan.
"He is Dan." Li Li mentioned lazily.
She didn't let Phantom follow the Revenant and Dan in because there was no need and she had already been there.
The dilapidated streets, the weeds all over the ground, the buildings with withered moss and ivy, and the half-collapsed tube-shaped building that was often visited by the local owners.
She had said before that Dan was a watchdog and a mad dog. But Dan was obviously smarter than the mad dog, as could be seen from their first meeting when Dan chose to leave the city lord of Jiaohuang.
"You go on." Li Li stood up, turned around, put her hands in her pockets and prepared to leave.
An Heyu was distracted by controlling the undead while he asked in surprise, "You want to leave now?"
Li Li heard a feeling of "you are going to leave me here alone".
An Heyu asked about the current situation: "Dan didn't take action just now, and didn't seem to be going to take action afterwards. In the end, the undead couldn't be killed by her according to the plan..."
Hearing this, Li Li stopped and turned her head slightly.
"That's just fine," she said.
Hearing this, An Heyu was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something.
He didn't say anything more.
...
Finally, the undead left Area 13 safely, and then "suddenly died" after leaving Dan's sight, disappearing into the night.
The eternal night passed, and when the day came, a piece of news came out that was very important to all the residents of Ranmu City.
"The city lord has shown up!"
This news was first released on the huge display screen in Area 1, and then gradually spread. Notices and banners of all sizes appeared on the streets. The whole Ranmu City was filled with a festive atmosphere because of this news.
Some are happy and some are sad. The daytime belongs to order, and Lin Ran does not restrict their language, but only their behavior. Therefore, when Li Li, An Heyu and the tide agent of Ranmu City walked into the noisy restaurant, some people were still discussing this matter in the lobby.
“Are you going to punish those demons in the night?” These are the people who believe in the city lord.
“Are we going to restart the massacre from six years ago?” This is a superpower active in the eternal night.
In the eyes of the common people, Lin Ran is undoubtedly a good city lord. Whenever they are trapped in the eternal night, they only long for the sun to rise and Lin Ran to bring order.
It’s not that no one questioned whether the city lord allowed the eternal night, but when they were helpless and powerless, all they could do was pray that the city lord would wake up soon.
Over time, the city lord became like a symbol, representing the end of the eternal night.
Those who know a little more about the situation think more.
"Could it be that the city lord wants to destroy the Super Power Guild?" This is a member of the Super Power Guild.
"The city lord has come forward. Could it be that the illusionist who killed three high-ranking nobles on the wanted list has come to Ranmu City?"
"Yes, this is the only person worthy of the city lord's dispatch."
"It's been so many years since the eternal night, and it's not clear whether the city lord has rectified the situation." This is a psychic with a lucky mentality.
Li Li, who happened to hear these words, said: Ah, yes, she came out for Haig.
She followed the agent into the private room, her expression was expressionless, her eyes were still narrowed, but she could hardly help but sigh in her heart.
Before sitting down, she was even wondering whether Lin Ran knew her name. It would be funny if he knew.
The city lord showed up for the first time in six years, only to apologize to his class enemy.
The picture was so beautiful that she dared not even think about it.
If she could, she wanted to stop Lin Ran. Fortunately, Lin Ran said three days later instead of the next day. She still had two days to think about what reason she could use to sneak into Lin Ran's house again and explain things to Lin Ran.
I'm afraid Lin Ran would think that they have a very good relationship, so she would come to her house as a "guest" again and again.
This restaurant is a base of Chao Xi in Ranmu City. After closing the door, Chao Xi's agent carefully considered his words and said slowly: "We have never seen clearly what this city lord does. She represents the nobles... But from six years ago to four years ago, this city lord did use iron-blooded means to suppress the demons and monsters caused by our failure."
The idea of the former psychic guild was to resist the oppression of the nobility, and for low-level psychics and ordinary people to help each other. When it existed, it did bring some benefits to these disadvantaged groups, but at the same time it also caused dissatisfaction among many people. When it collapsed, its enemies celebrated its disappearance in the form that the former psychic guild was most opposed to.
Capturing the survivors of the former supernatural guild and bringing them into the arena to kill each other is just one of the epiphanies.
An Heyu poured Li Li a cup of tea and then asked, "What about four years ago?"
"When the Eternal Night began, the evil she had suppressed resurfaced again." Tide Agent shook his head. "She should have known about it, but she did nothing to deal with it."
He looked down at the table and sighed: "Maybe the bloody massacre at the beginning was not what we thought."
Li Li lowered her eyes and looked at the clear tea in the cup.
That's not true, she thought.
They talked for a while, and after the Tide agent left, An Heyu stood next to her and asked, "You know something, right?"
An Heyu was talking about the city lord's sudden appearance. After all, they had just been to Lin's house last night, and the city lord would be on stage the next day. An Heyu didn't believe it if they said it had nothing to do with them.
However, An Heyu had never met Lin Ran, and all he could think of was a situation that was unfavorable to them: "Should we..."
Li Li shook her head.
She felt that no one would believe her if she told the truth this time, and even she herself found it strange, so she didn't plan to tell An Heyu what was going on.
What else to say? Don't worry, Lin Ran just wants to apologize to her publicly?
Reason? Because she was angry and gave Lin Ran a bad look?
Goodbye.
So she just looked at the water in the teacup, and then tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
Like the sound of wind chimes blown by the wind.
"Do you hate her?" Li Li asked.
She asked this question very seriously.
An Heyu was stunned, and his golden eyes slightly widened under the red hood. But after that, he said in a rare decisive tone: "Hate."
That’s right, Li Li thought.
If he didn't hate him, An Heyu wouldn't have offered an olive branch to Heger in the beginning. How could he not hate the revenge of his clan's annihilation?
If Li Li is really Heige, and there really is such a person as Heige in this world, then she would probably hate Lin Ran as well.
Li Li saw her mask-like smiling face from the water surface.
To her, Lin Ran is just an NPC in the game, and love and hate are not that important.
But based on Lin Ran's attitude towards her, Li Li felt that she really couldn't dislike her.
After all, here, beautiful young ladies have privileges.
...
The day after Lin Ran announced that he would come forward, the people from the Superpower Guild had already set up a podium in the Freedom Square in front of the Guild.
Li Li, who happened to pass by there, smiled on the surface but was actually worried. She thought she had to hurry up and go to Lin's house again in the evening. At least she couldn't let her say something like "apologize to my close friend Haig" in public, which was too terrible.
By then, she really wouldn't be able to explain why the head of the noble family who killed the prophet would condescend to call her a close friend.
If Li Li had not met Lin Ran before and had already determined that he had a very low EQ, she would have suspected that Lin Ran was doing this to ruin her reputation and slander her for having an affair with a noble.
However, in the afternoon, the 'night guard' of District 3 made a rare appearance and delivered a message.
They tracked down Dan's whereabouts in District 12.
Dan often goes to District 12 during the day and visits a store.
When Li Li received the news, she stopped by to take a look. The store was not in the bustling city center, but in a remote corner.
It was a second-hand clothing store, the shop was not new and had been there for quite some time.
Li Li maintained her female attire and went there and opened the door.
The door creaked, and the first person Li Li saw was a middle-aged woman in her fifties. She was sitting at the back of the store, and when she saw the person coming, she just slowly raised her head and then lowered it again.
Li Li looked at the clothes around her, most of which were girly skirts, which did not match her cold and cool face.
My sister's appearance is very inappropriate.
Just then, someone pushed the door open and walked in.
"Auntie, is my dress ready?"
It's Dan.
He was still wearing the same black puff-sleeved dress, holding his rabbit doll, as if he had not changed his clothes from beginning to end.
When he saw someone in the store, he didn't recognize Li Li, but walked around and walked towards the owner.
The shop owner, who was probably an old acquaintance of his, pointed to the table next to him and said, "It's done."
Li Li took a look and saw that the skirt placed on the table was the same little black skirt as the one Dan was wearing.
The mystery of not changing clothes was solved, but Li Li felt that Dan was becoming more and more mysterious.
You have to know that as an S-rank conceptual esper, it is impossible for him not to keep his clothes clean, not to mention that he has time to rewind this ability. If he doesn't want to change clothes, it is not difficult to keep the clothes he wears intact.
Dan walked over, picked up the clothes on the table and put them into the bag himself.
When he is not angry, Dan is very quiet, like a beautiful doll.
After doing all these things, he thanked the shop owner obediently.
At this moment, Li Li looked at the pink skirt in front of her and took it off.
"This one suits you better." Li Li walked over, lifted the clothes and waved them in front of Dan.
Dan was stunned for a moment, and his two different colored pupils looked at Li Li, then he slowly and cautiously said: "Illusionist?"
In this narrow shop, Li Li looked at him closely with a smile on her face.
Li Li raised her voice slightly: "Hmm? You know my special ability?"
