Chapter 264 The Man Behind the Scenes



With Xu Fanru's physical attributes and the blessing of his invincible spiritual body, he could easily break through even a piece of steel in front of him.

But when Xu Fan reached into the city lord's chest, he found that the city lord's chest was empty.

Xu Fan was not surprised by this scene. He turned slightly to look in the direction of the government office.

"You finally decided to come out?"

A soft sigh came from the government office, and then a man dressed in the uniform of a yamen runner slowly walked out of the office.

In his hands, he held a slowly beating, seven-colored heart.

Should I call you Officer Zhang or Zhang Hang?

Zhang Hang smiled and said, "Just call me Constable Zhang. I've gotten used to it after hearing the people of Anxi call me Constable Zhang for so many years."

As Zhang Hang spoke, he casually tossed the Demon-Slaying Sword to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan caught the Demon-Slaying Sword, his eyes filled with unprecedented vigilance as he sized up Zhang Hang.

"How did you discover that the city lord had a problem?"

Zhang Hang didn't seem to be facing an enemy, but rather as if he were meeting an old friend, asking questions with great interest about things that interested him.

“I had a feeling that something was wrong from the moment they said the city lord was coming back.”

"Since the city's writing system and even its food were created by the city lord, why doesn't he stay in the city for a long time, but instead comes back?"

"When I learned about the power of miracles, I became even more suspicious."

"Since the entire Resting Land is maintained by the power of miracles, then the person who maintains the entire Resting Land must either never appear in the Resting Land or cannot leave the Resting Land. How could they be like the city lord, returning from time to time?"

At this point, Xu Fan suddenly looked at Zhang Hang: "Or should I address you, Constable Zhang, as City Lord?"

Ever since he began to doubt the city lord's identity, and given his own keen intuition, Xu Fan had a feeling that the city lord might simply have created the people of the Land of Rest as if they were resurrected people from the Land of Rest.

However, compared to the others in the Land of Rest, because of the existence of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart in their bodies, they can naturally deceive the system due to the characteristics of the power of miracles.

"Then why do you suspect me?"

Xu Fan smiled. Compared to questioning the city lord, it was much simpler to notice that Constable Zhang was acting strangely.

From their conversation on the second day after meeting Lao Bai, Xu Fan discovered that Lao Bai had completely lost his previous memories and could only live by his knowledge of writing and the Land of Rest.

However, apart from Lao Bai, Constable Zhang behaved very strangely.

He remembered everything that happened after Xu Fan entered the Land of Rest. At that moment, Xu Fan even wondered if Old Bai was the only one who was forgetful.

But not long after, the city lord appeared.

"Clap clap clap".

Zhang Hang clapped his hands vigorously and said sincerely:

"Undeniably, among all the people who have entered the Resting Place over the years, you are the only one who still has the strength to fight against the power of miracles after discovering the truth."

“From this point of view, this is your operation, but from my point of view, you are the sinner of the entire Resting Land.”

As he spoke, Zhang Hang stretched out his hand, and the swirling light and dust appeared exceptionally clear under the sunlight.

Xu Fan looked up and saw that the crescent moon, shaped like a hook, was slowly beginning to dissipate.

The surrounding space seemed to become extremely unstable at that moment.

The people in the city seemed to sense something and ran from their homes to a place not far from the government office.

Xu Fan even spotted Lao Bai in the crowd.

At this moment, Lao Bai seemed to suddenly realize the truth, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

There is both the sudden realization of the truth and the relaxation of being able to finally find true peace.

There was also a touch of reluctance to leave behind the place of rest.

He slowly turned around, looking at the gradually disappearing resting place, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly felt as if every pore on his body was standing on end.

A silent terror instantly rose in my heart.

Xu Fan suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Hang, who was directly in front of him.

At this moment, Zhang Hang's face was expressionless, and he was only breathing heavily.

However, with each breath, Zhang Hang's strength was increasing at an alarming rate.

In just a few breaths, Zhang Hang's strength had reached the level of the Ghost Emperor.

He slowly raised his head, and his aura gradually became profound.

"Since the Land of Rest is about to dissipate, then you shall dissipate along with it."

When Zhang Hang spoke, Xu Fan instantly felt as if he were being locked onto by something he couldn't escape.

At that moment, Xu Fan felt as if he had returned to the time when he first encountered the female ghost. Faced with this terrifying unknown, Xu Fan felt powerless.

Previously, even that incompetent city lord, when he was in the government, could easily suppress and beat me with his miraculous power.

Not to mention Zhang Hang, whose strength is now gradually recovering.

The moment this force made contact with Xu Fan's body, Xu Fan felt as if all his defenses had vanished.

Deep within his soul, it felt as if he were being crushed by a knife at all times.

"Bang."

In that instant, Xu Fan exploded into countless fragments.

Even after witnessing Xu Fan turn into countless fragments, Zhang Hang remained standing there, tilting his head and staring in bewilderment at the pieces of Xu Fan's body.

"The aura emanating from this is somewhat similar to the power of miracles."

At this moment, Xu Fan felt that he was in a pitch-black space, with a well opening in front of him that resembled the Well of Reincarnation.

Xu Fan knew that he had suffered a fatal blow this time, and the system had automatically activated the Infinite Reincarnation Technique he had obtained earlier.

The bizarre skill, Infinite Reincarnation Technique, can be forcibly activated to reincarnate Xu Fan when he faces a life-or-death crisis, allowing time to return to a day earlier.

Xu Fan knew that as long as he could enter the well, the infinite cycle would officially begin, returning him to a day earlier.

But here's the problem: Xu Fan felt as if his feet were rooted to the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

However, the pain in his soul did not lessen. As this excruciating pain continued to torment him, Xu Fan even felt his consciousness gradually fading.

"Is this the true power of miracles? It's really quite domineering."

In this situation, Xu Fan was at a loss for what to do and could only desperately try to stay conscious.

At this moment, the system, which had been hiding for a long time, finally appeared!
