Chapter 94 Daytime
The owner of the worm died.
The dark tide of insects that covered the sky and the earth exploded and disappeared one after another, revealing a gloomy sky shrouded in black smoke.
As the black faded away, An Heyu stopped attacking in the area shrouded by golden light.
The puppets in front of him lost consciousness one by one and fell to the ground. After losing their controllers, they all lost their offensive power and lay on the ground in all directions.
An Heyu realized what had happened and turned his head to look in the direction where the change occurred, which was the sky of District 13.
Except for him, most of the people in Somemu Castle raised their heads and looked in the direction where the darkness had been lifted.
The complete darkness began to disappear from there, and although the sky behind was still dark, it seemed as if I had left that terrible eternal night.
"Is it over?"
"Did the superpower let us go?"
"I survived?"
They prayed and watched the receding darkness with hesitation.
Is this really the end?
"No one will save us except the city lord!"
They didn't believe that there was still light in this world. This was true before the city lord's death, and even more so after his death.
The eternal night left the city in ruins, with bright red blood and collapsed ruins everywhere. The huge advertising screen was also covered with cracks and could not display the image.
The disaster continues.
Those superpowers who were rampant in the eternal night are still walking around in every corner with laughter, continuing to indulge their desires and adding a scar to this city.
At this moment.
"Night Guard has suppressed all riots in District 12."
Gunshots and voices rang out one after another. After the confrontation between the superpowers, the superpower user let out a brief snort of surprise and was killed by the night guards roaming the city.
"Don't kill me!" civilians cried.
The night guard stopped.
"We will not kill you, ever." said the former member of the Eternal Night. "We are the Night Guards. We will follow our leader and protect this city."
"protect?"
In this city, in the eternal night, talking about protection?
Not only that.
"Look!" Someone pulled the edge of his clothes and pointed at the sky in District 13.
In this smoky sky, above the head where no light can be seen, there is a small black dot rising rapidly.
Fast, like lightning, and like fireworks rising from below.
But instead of blooming in the sky, it penetrated directly into the clouds.
It disappeared into the clouds in an instant, stirring up the wind to blow away the clouds, revealing the beautiful blue sky that had been covered.
The sunlight shines in from this circular gap, making this
The land shrouded in eternal night once again came into contact with the bright sunlight.
The next moment, the gap expanded, like ripples created by a drop of water. It spread out in circles, sweeping away the black smoke covering the sky and taking away the dust.
It was as if the sky had cleared away the haze in the hearts of those who were looking up at the sun.
A thin hand stretched out from the shadows, and its muddy fingertips lightly touched the sunlight.
In the despair and numb pupils, the light at the fingertips gradually lit up.
The night passes and the dawn comes.
Then the sun appeared again in the sky over the city.
Daylight is coming again.
"Stop your evil deeds against the city from now on!" The Night Guards followed the orders of their second-in-command, An Heyu, and moved at high speed in the city, announcing the end of the eternal night.
"Our leader has destroyed the eternal night!"
Someone saved the city.
Those who survived the chaos realized this.
In addition to the city lord Lin Ran, someone led them out of the eternal night and brought them daylight.
Brought a dazzling light.
They spontaneously bowed and saluted towards District 13, the direction where the light first fell.
At the edge of District 13, An Heyu stood outside the border, waiting for the people inside to slowly walk out.
"Heige!" He saw Li Li, who was as relaxed as usual, as if she was not hurt at all.
He also saw Dan, who was holding onto the corner of Li Li's clothes and remained silent.
Thinking of what Li Li had said before about picking up the dog, An Heyu suddenly had an idea and greeted Dan: "Hello, I'm Hong He, a subordinate of Heige."
But the white-haired boy glanced at An Heyu, then turned his face away decisively.
An Heyu: "..."
He had a bad feeling, and it was a strong one.
At this time, Li Li spoke up: "Xiao Hong, help me analyze the souls of several people in the Lin family."
She pointed behind her and said, "I want to know what Lin Ruye said to the prophet, and why Lin Ran was able to leave the floating city."
Li Li has always wondered why Lin Ran is the only SS-level psychic among the nobles who can leave the floating city.
She felt that there must be some important clues in this.
"Okay." An Heyu agreed immediately, closed his eyes, and activated his supernatural powers.
During this time, Li Li asked Dan next to her: "Your special ability includes time reversal, right?"
Dan held the rabbit in one hand and grabbed Li Li's windbreaker belt with the other, and nodded slowly: "Yes, but there is a time limit."
"Um?"
"Only twenty-four hours," Dan said.
Li Li calculated the time and luckily there was still enough time.
The ability to analyze and read memories has a flaw, that is, the longer the time interval, the less information can be obtained. Fortunately, An Heyu arrived in time and he did see the news that Li Li wanted to know.
After retelling the conversation between the prophet and Lin Ruye, he explained the reason why Lin Ran left the floating city.
"It was the royal family who first issued the order. They asked Lin Ran to leave the floating city and kill Shuang Buyan, the spiritual leader of the former Superpower Guild." An Heyu said as he walked.
They really hate the prophet, Li Li thought.
She could understand it, after all, the prophet could predict the future and was the spiritual leader of the enemy. As for the prophet's prediction to Lin Ruye, her first reaction was that he was talking about Yiming instead of her, and her second reaction was that the future predicted by the prophet had changed. She didn't know whether it was because of her existence or because Lin Ruye chose to betray Lin Ran.
Li Li was indeed surprised because of the character of the prophet. But she thought of the nobles of Lin Ran who destroyed the former supernatural guild and used the remnants to lure the prophet into the trap. After that, they did not let him go but sent him to the gladiatorial arena to be slaughtered.
Li Li felt that if she were a prophet, she would go even further.
And when Lin Ruye said that the prophet was very similar to her, she was probably talking about the method of disturbing people.
However...
Was this a coincidence? She tapped her arm with her fingertips as she thought.
Like the prophet, this is not a bad thing for Li Li at all. On the contrary, it makes the character of "Heige" look even more miserable.
Something like after you die I will become like you.
But what a coincidence.
It was just as coincidental as she found out that the Prophet and Shuang Buyan were the same person.
"However, there is a scene in brother Lin Ran's memory. After finishing the royal summons, Lin Ran did not leave the palace immediately. Instead, he separated from them and stayed in the palace alone for the whole afternoon." An Heyu said.
He had been to the floating city before, so he knew more about it than Li Li.
But he really had no idea about this matter: "Nobles with special abilities are not allowed to stay in the palace unless they are summoned by the royal family. Maybe Lin Ran was having a private conversation with someone in the royal family."
Li Li intuitively felt that this matter was very important, but at present there were insufficient clues and she could not make any useful judgments.
When they arrived at the Lin residence, only the housekeeper and servants were left there.
Seeing them coming, the housekeeper and servants just silently made way for them, allowing them to freely enter the house belonging to the noble Lin family.
The attic looked the same as what Li Li had seen at night. Lin Ruye didn't even move anything inside, including his mother's body.
Most of the time, they don’t want to acknowledge their mother’s death.
Dan's supernatural power is activated, and the time in this room begins to go back.
The powers he plundered were only useful against non-human creatures. The scene in the room was reversing, while the infected corpse remained as it was.
Suddenly, the blood on the wall disappeared, and after a while, a piece of paper appeared next to Lin Ran's head on the table.
"Stop." Li Li said.
The backtracking stopped and Li Li picked up the paper.
Lin Ran is writing an apology for tomorrow.
Li Li closed her eyes and recalled the scene she had just seen: at night, Lin Ran was sitting at the table, writing down what he would say tomorrow.
Then the paper disappeared, and there was no movement in the house for some time.
Then suddenly blood spurted out and someone chopped off her head.
There is a blank period between the disappearance of the paper and the spurting of blood, during which nothing happens in the house.
But how is this possible?
After learning what happened four years ago, Li Li knew that although Lin Ran was currently at SS level, his power was greatly reduced and was not at the normal level of an SS-level psychic. Even so, she could still suppress an S-level psychic and maintain her City of Order for a limited time.
How could she wait so calmly for the other party to chop off her head before she died? Moreover, Lin Ran also had other wounds on her body, so she definitely resisted.
She thought about it and looked at the contents on the paper.
Similar to the emotional intelligence Lin Ran had shown before, she didn't see anything related to "apology" in this speech.
In any case, if she really used this speech, it would not only fail to let Haig know that she wanted to apologize, but would completely infuriate Haig.
After all, the speech was full of bad things about the prophet.
But his eyes moved downward, and then his red pupils paused slightly.
It stopped at the last paragraph of the speech, which almost entirely criticized the prophet as a bad person. It was also the last sentence written by Ran before he died before the paper disappeared.
It says
Don't trust that man.
Lin Ran really hated the prophet.
"You really hate him." Li Li sighed and put the paper back, "But you were the first to attack."
Whether it was long-term oppression or the design of the Prophet, it was to seize the foundation laid by the previous supernatural guilds.
Sang Feiling is still imprisoned, and the remnants of the former Superpower Guild are still being hunted down. Even if Lin Ran wants order, she, who was born into an aristocratic family, cannot truly understand what ordinary people want.
...
It was almost dusk when they left Linzhai.
The orange sunset shone on the ground, exuding warmth. On the way, Li Li met a few night guards. I don't know what hormones they took, but when they saw her, they shouted loudly: "Captain!"
She felt confused by the roar.
After that, the onlookers on both sides of the road would show expressions that made Li Li feel strange.
Some people just quietly made way and looked respectful, while others rushed forward and shouted "City Lord, you are our new City Lord" and were taken away by the night guards.
It was as if Li Li was some peerless hero, returning triumphantly.
This situation made Li Li a little confused, very confused.
"Xiaohong?" She pointed at the civilians standing in a row at the edge of the street and saluted her, then turned to look at An Heyu.
She had been fighting in District 13 and thought she had done nothing, so what happened outside could only be related to An Heyu.
Li Li suspected that An Heyu had done something strange behind her back.
An Heyu's lips curled up slightly and then quickly straightened, and then he said, "Look at how handsome you are."
Can she believe this nonsense?
Li Li looked at him suspiciously: Does she look so easy to fool?
Well, she admitted that she thought she was handsome too.
Ranmu City needs to be rebuilt, and Li Li does not intend to let Dan go back directly. In short, she does not intend to care about it and let the indigenous people rebuild their homes themselves.
The last rays of dusk shine upon the devastated land.
Just then, she heard a familiar voice.
“Help!”
A familiar figure rushed towards her, and then Dan beside her immediately stood in front of her, his eyes immediately gloomy.
Li Li saw the last glimmer of orange light and the golden hair that seemed to be shining.
And the dull golden color after the sun sets completely and the light disappears.
The blond boy ran over as if he was running for his life, and behind him was a big goose flapping its wings, chasing and biting him.
After seeing Li Li, he opened his red pupils.
The last glimmer of light disappeared, and in the darkness, two pairs of red eyes looked at each other for a moment.
The black-haired young man stood there with a mask-like smile on his face.
The blond boy ran, dodging the big goose, his eyes wide open.
But this moment seemed to be frozen and became long.
Then time resumed its flow, and An Heyu grabbed the goose by its long neck and lifted it up, while the blond-haired boy hurriedly braked and stopped in front of Dan, who was staring at him.
He said to Li Li: "Have I seen you in my dream?"
It was Yu Xiao who was supposed to be in Zhusheng City.
