"However, one thing is very strange: what exactly is the purpose of the city lord of Sin City?"
After Yin Zhu entered the "Grand Theft Auto" instance, the think tank built a database about the instance and analyzed the methods to clear it from multiple perspectives.
One of them is to trace back to the source.
Every world has its own storyline, and the core of Vice City undoubtedly lies with the Lord.
If Yin Zhu's guess is correct, and Sheng Hui is the artificial countdown for this instance, then the city lord he wants to eliminate must be the most crucial element of the entire instance. Unfortunately, so far, the chosen ones from all nations are still focused on finding jobs, and almost no one has obtained any information about the city lord. Even the think tanks of various nations are like skilled cooks without ingredients.
However, it is said that those who receive the emperor's salary should share his burdens. Moreover, it is not just a matter of salary now. Even without evidence, the think tank needs to work hard to deduce and investigate.
"He looks like a bad guy."
Chai Yuxuan gave the most obvious answer.
Mo You flipped through the documents she had compiled, completely ignoring Chai Yuxuan's words, and reported her analysis to An Zhi: "The City of Sin has been established for a long time, and one of the key factors is the cloud of sin above the city. The city lord constantly attracts sinful people into the City of Sin, with the aim of filling the City of Sin with sin, thereby expanding that cloud of sin."
"Moreover, the manager of the temporary apartment once mentioned that many people who wanted to find the city lord ended up becoming managers themselves. We can infer that the city lord is actually using the power of managers to win over and subdue others," Tong Xinyan added.
"Is it possible that the Cloud of Sin is the source of the Lord's power?" Fang Kuo tapped his index finger lightly on the table, a habitual action he took when he was thinking.
"Possibly. If there were no benefit, the city lord wouldn't have gone to such lengths just to keep a dark cloud hanging over the place. You can't exactly say he hates the sun, can you?" He Zihan joked.
An Zhi nodded: "Although there are other possibilities, this speculation is the only one with the smoothest logic—the city lord obtained extraordinary power through the Cloud of Sin, and then controlled the entire city, turning it into the sinful city it is today. In order to maintain and even expand his power, he constantly invites others into the city. Some people become the city's nourishment, while others are bought off and become the city lord's lackeys."
"Why didn't the natives of that world concentrate their forces to conquer this city?" Mo You asked. "If I'm not mistaken, the people this city invites are mostly heinous criminals. So even if the outside authorities aren't under their control, they shouldn't let the city of sin go unchecked in order to capture criminals."
"Perhaps it's too chaotic," Fang Kuo said meaningfully.
After all, there have been a few countries on Earth where the government was completely unable to control those who engaged in shady activities. If an official with a burning passion tried to take control, he would end up being used as a warning to others, or even his entire family would be implicated.
Fang Kuo guessed that Sin City was in a similar situation: "Perhaps the country where Sin City is located is unstable, which gave the city lord an opportunity to grow stronger and more difficult to control."
Although the logic was perfectly sound, he still felt that something was not quite right.
Mo You, unusually, thought the same thing as him: "This logic is reasonable, but something doesn't quite add up. Even if this country couldn't manage it, it's impossible that all the countries at that time couldn't manage it, right?"
"Perhaps other countries also have their own problems, making it difficult for them to intervene?" Tong Xinyan speculated.
Meng Li twirled her pen, saying helplessly, "The Chosen Ones' activity area is only Sin City. We don't have any information from the outside world, so it's hard to determine the specific situation. Or perhaps, the city lord himself is a puppet from the outside world, a special prison created by various countries in that world, which is why prisoners are sent there to kill each other."
The think tank proposed several possibilities, all of which were contradicted by each other or lacked evidence to prove.
Finally, Chai Yuxuan leaned back against the backrest, somewhat dejectedly fantasizing: "Actually, you've forgotten the most crucial rule of Sin City, which is Rule 0: [Sin City has no rules]. If Yin Zhu is strong enough, she can ignore all the rules and directly clear the dungeon."
Meng Li scoffed, "How could that be... Saint Radiance."
She suddenly froze, thinking of someone, and after she said that name, everyone in the conference room fell silent.
“I’m afraid the last one is a special privilege given to Sheng Hui.” Tong Xinyan’s expression was rather unpleasant. “I suspect that Sheng Hui’s talent allows him to ignore the rules, or to deliberately violate the rules without being punished. This would explain why he could easily kill the supermarket manager.”
"Holy Radiance must be the chosen one of that world."
Mo You had a cold face.
In fact, they should have figured this out long ago. When Yin Zhu told them off-camera that "the faith of Sheng Hui is unspeakable," the think tank had already analyzed the reason.
Talent skills are bestowed in a way that cannot be spoken, so Holy Radiance must be related to the unspeakable.
At the time, they assumed they were ordinary believers and didn't consider the possibility of them being chosen ones. But now, putting everything together, Mo You's expression turned grim; she had come to a terrifying conclusion:
"Some of the chosen ones in that world have pledged allegiance to the Unspeakable, and even regard the Unspeakable as a true god."
“If that’s the case, then the Unspeakable and the City Lord should be enemies,” Meng Li pointed out the contradiction. “But the fact is, the City Lord possesses the Unspeakable’s power of rules, and also provided a stage for the game.”
Yu Qi suddenly said, "This doesn't conflict with anything."
When she noticed everyone looking at her, Yu Qi felt a little nervous, but she still mustered up her courage to explain: "The Unspeakable and the City Lord may be the same person, just showing two sides of the same coin. Just like Yin Zhu can act differently in different identities, the Unspeakable can do the same."
He can set up a target for himself and then have his followers defeat it, thus demonstrating his greatness. Many cults have used this self-directed and self-acted behavior.
"There must be some key point we don't know yet." Mo You scratched her head, not caring about her image. Compared to that, being unable to solve the problem made her feel even more upset.
Since the discussions yielded no results, the think tank could only continue to place their hopes on Yin Zhu.
Because, at least so far, Yin Zhu has provided a great deal of useful information, and even though she faced certain death, she paved a broad road for the next chosen one.
Meanwhile, Yin Zhu, who is highly anticipated on the screen, is eating in the cafeteria.
To be precise, they were stealing food from the children.
