Chapter 169 Chapter 109 The Carnival Before Destruction Part 3

From then on, I never called him Teacher Valak again.

They are enemies, "strangers" who have different ideologies and cannot work together, but they cannot be teachers and students.

I always believe in the goodness in human nature, and I also believe that humans will one day find a way to deal with zombies.

But the first thing he had to do was to change Lianyun City.

He is a man, a student of the highly respected teacher Valak, so he does not need to be servile even in front of the children of the Liuhua family.

As someone who almost grew up at the top of the pyramid, no one should understand the dignity of this position better than him, and he should further safeguard his status.

But he also witnessed the suffering of the lower class people, and saw poor people who were separated from their wives and children, their families broken up, and had to leave their hometowns because of exploitation by the nobles.

He swore to himself that he would prove it to Valak.

This is not an easy task. Lianyun City and Liuhua Family are like vines clinging to each other and have almost grown together. It will cost a huge price to destroy either one.

Fortunately, he never thought of giving up, as he firmly believed that humanity was not doomed.

He constantly improved himself, and soon succeeded the previous psychic as the maintainer of the Lianyun City barrier. He worked hard to make friends with the Liuhua family, develop and strengthen his own power, and successfully cultivated a successor of his own will.

Finally, this year, they completely eradicated the rot that had engulfed the city and cleared out the bloat that could spread.

"Yes, you have successfully proved it to me."

Valak's voice was very weak. He spoke word by word and finally smiled meaninglessly.

"But the fact that the alien world and zombies exist cannot be changed. Do you want to prove it to me again?"

Although he is no longer the passionate young man he was before, the things he firmly believes in have not changed at all.

"I can certainly prove it to you once again, Valak."

The old man shook his head slowly. "You can't prove it, because the existence of desire is an objective fact. The endless production of zombies is a fact."

Because of their unrealistic delusions about resurrection, there are twisted zombies that try to revive by absorbing the vitality of the living.

It's that simple and cruel.

"You are imposing cause and effect. Not everyone wants to be resurrected from the dead, but they still cannot escape the fate of becoming zombies. This is just the same cycle as birth, aging, sickness and death."

I don't understand why Valak is so persistent. The regular cycle that has existed for thousands of years, no matter how terrible and unbelievable it is, has a reason for its existence.

Human beings can do many unimaginable things to survive, and to deny this persistence is itself a kind of "blasphemy".

No one person or group can decide what everyone should do. Human beings can always find the way forward.

Valak shook his head. He was at a loss for words, but he was stubborn.

"Tie."

"..."

"You found a good apprentice."

He was talking about Ryuka Jyoushige, a child born from a branch family of Ryuka.

Logically speaking, if one wants to change Lianyun City, the first family that should be eliminated is the Liuhua family, so Liuhua Jiangsi has never been the best choice.

But I was not mistaken.

Thinking of this apprentice, Qie was still very pleased. He had the selfish desire to prove himself to Valak, but Liuhua Jiangsi wanted wholeheartedly to change this city and change the established past and future of the North.

"The Ryuka Festival is indeed the best proof that human nature is not just about selfishness and desire, but also about caring about the greatness of the world."

She still feels resentful towards Valak, even though she has come to this point and cannot turn back.

Valak smiled and said nothing.

"It's too late, it's too late to look back or regret."

Moreover, when there are great people like Ryuka Jyoushi, there will be fools like the previous master who regard the common people as ants.

Human beings are like this, noble and base at the same time, so contradictory that even gods cannot fathom it.

It's just that Jud and Valak, one believes that the good part of it can never be defeated, and the other believes that evil will always peek into the world.

There is no doubt that Valak has gone 'insane and seriously ill'.

There is no point in saying any more.

He shook his head and turned around.

"Goodbye, Valak."

The relationship between the former master and apprentice ended up being that of enemies.

I once admired and admired Valak, but now it has all turned into a sigh.

"General Liu Yi, take him down."

Liu Yi nodded and said yes, then stepped forward to detain Valak.

He is the main culprit of the Lightless One's actions in Lianyun City and is worthy of being interrogated and judged.

"Be careful!" Just as Pomo finished his words, the Corona, which had not moved before except for emitting a terrifying alien aura, suddenly exploded. Tentacles like countless hair stained with oil stretched out from the back and attacked the few people.

Liu Yi pulled Tie backwards without hesitation, while Pomo and Puis cooperated in counterattacking, but the tentacles kept breaking and then growing new ones.

Seeing that the flowing existence was about to fill the entire underground space, the four had to retreat.

Valak, who had knelt down because he was pierced through the body, was nowhere to be seen. He was still swallowed by the alien world.

That last bit of life completely activated the Corona, and they watched as zombies continued to crawl out of the slime beneath the Corona.

But the zombies did not attack them immediately. Instead, they staggered to both sides of the Corona, lined up, and knelt down towards the Corona.

A huge pressure came from the Corona, and the fused substances began to gather and take shape, and finally turned into the shape of a woman.

Her long hair covered the entire alien world, and only then did I realize that the tentacles were actually connected hair.

But she hadn't opened her eyes yet, and like the calm before a storm, even her previous intention disappeared.

There was only the breathing of four people and the sound of something moving beneath the alien world.

"Mr. Xie, please leave this place, find the garrison, and tell the city lord everything that happened here!"

Nothing had ever given Liu Yi such a huge pressure, it was the uncontrollable fear from the heart.

He was not sure whether he could protect Mr. Qiao well, so he should send Mr. Qiao out as soon as possible while there was still a chance!

Although Jue is a genius in barrier creation, he is only a drag in combat.

There is no time, and no need, to mourn for Valak.

"Got it, you all need to be careful!"

Almost at the same moment when the trap left, the woman on the crown opened her eyes.

Just like what Pomo had predicted, it was a pair of dead eyes like blood-red gems.

——

When he opened the door, it was different from what he had imagined. He was greeted by a suspicious stranger and the guards who were supposed to be guarding the place had disappeared.

"I finally got to see you, Mr. Xie. Please follow me. Lord Ni Lan wants to see you."

There was no time to refuse. After a dizzying spin, he appeared on the surface in an instant.

The soft cushion caught him as he fell, but it immediately brought him back to consciousness.

The first person I saw was a blue-haired boy, about the same age as Pomopus, but just as imposing.

The person who brought him here stood behind the boy.

"Lord Ni Lan, the people have arrived."

"You go out first. I want to talk to Mr. Xie alone."

Kara nodded respectfully and left the room neatly.

Ni Lan? He had heard this name from Liuhua Jiangsi.

The sixth seat of the Lightless Ones, a cadre of Shishizhong, and the most mysterious existence so far.

Ni Lan became alert in his heart. Although Valak was dead, it was obvious that Ni Lan was not a good person.

"What do you want to do?"

"I need Mr. Jie to change the rules of the barrier."

Ni Lan went straight to the point, paying no attention to Ji's vigilance and precautions.

He frowned. It was pointless to ask him to change the rules of the barrier at this time. Although it was still snowing, Lianyun City had all the facilities and no one would die from the cold temperature.

"Impossible. I know exactly what you, the Lightless Ones, are planning."

Ni Lan hasn't said what rules she wants to change yet, and the only thing she can think of is what happened with the city wall.

"The leader of the Lightless Ones is already in Lianyun City. We need to completely eradicate him. Mr. Jie, you need to change the rules of the barrier and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving until we successfully kill him."

There was no need to keep the secret at this point, and Ni Lan explained her origins simply and clearly.

But the amount of information was huge, and he looked at Ni Lan in surprise, and at first he thought he had heard it wrong.

Who should be eradicated? The leader of the Lightless Ones? But isn't Ni Lan a member of the Lightless Ones?

"Mr. Xie, please feel free to ask me anything you want to ask, and I will answer it."

If you want to quickly gain the other party's trust, this is the most appropriate method so far.

It took him a while to think about it, but he couldn't refuse the idea of ​​eradicating the Lightless Ones.

So he decided to give it a try first.

"Why do you want to eradicate the Lightless Ones?"

"Because he has a grudge against me."

A simple reason, but sufficient to serve as the origin.

Although I was a little surprised, I didn't ask what the "revenge" was.

"Why did you join the Lightless?"

"Undercover."

What a concise and effective answer... But this is not impossible, and it actually deepens the credibility of his previous answer.

He was still wary, but his attitude had improved a lot.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. No matter what Ni Lan's purpose is, their interests are now the same.

"The last question is, you said 'we', who else is it besides you?"

There was someone standing in the shadow at the back of the room. Although I couldn't see clearly, I never shifted my attention away from that.

"Long time no see, Ji."

The woman walked out from the shadows, her long pink hair tied high behind her head, as if she was still the spirited general.

It is something I could never have imagined.

"Yun Shi?!"
