Chapter 022 New World
On the contribution ranking list, the number one ranked [Linglongxin] disappeared, and the number two ranked [Bijun] took the top spot and replaced it.
Behind the names of Fu Xuan and Yao He, the contributions are slowly increasing. They are both doing well.
Wei Hang put away the ranking list in front of him, jumped onto a nearby building, and moved quickly towards the direction of the black vortex whose formation speed was slowing down.
Realizing that the focus was moving towards him, He Yi, who was in the center of the black vortex, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the rapidly jumping and moving figure above the tall building.
From this height, the jumping figure looked as small as a flea. But He Yi knew that the other party was not as easy to deal with as a flea - although the scar on the cut neck had healed, the cold air rushing through her body at that time was still fresh in her memory.
"What's wrong?" He Yi's absent-mindedness attracted the attention of Liuli who was sitting behind him.
She was in a higher position than He Yi, and the black vortex blocked other people's view of her, but it could not block her view.
She followed He Yi's gaze and said, "Human? Do you want me to get rid of her?" As an emperor, her attitude towards He Yi was not only equality and respect, but even a little submissive.
"No need." He Yi said. No one could stop their plan, so there was no need to create complications.
The number of ghosts in the mirror world is decreasing rapidly.
Those ghosts that were let go by He Yi because they were too low-level were killed by the human team led by Li Ruyu and Chen Anan.
Those forces dissipated in the heaven and earth, and followed the guidance to merge into the vortex around He Yi.
The existence that she thought was unworthy of being a cornerstone, in another form, became the cornerstone of the new world.
When the number of ghosts was reduced to three, that is, only Li Ruyu and his group were left, He Yi split into two clones.
"Go and get the heart cores of Li Ruyu and Chen Anan."
——In the new world, they are indispensable.
After a pause, she added, "Bring Wei Hang's companions here safely."
The elderly He Wenying bowed, and the young man in black, with silver ornaments all over his body and slightly curly black hair, nodded lazily. The two figures fell from the sky and merged into the ground and disappeared.
Seeing that the mirror world was entering its final stage, Liuli no longer had to stay here and said, "I will go to the real world to guide humans to avoid disaster."
"Trouble." After taking Liuli out of the pomegranate flower mirror, He Yi's gaze shifted to Wei Hang who was standing on the rooftop of a residential building below.
The man and the ghost looked at each other. She thought for a moment, took the initiative to leave the center of the black vortex, and descended in front of Wei Hang.
"Your mission will be completed soon. Just wait here quietly. Your friend will be brought back safely."
Ji Weihang looked at the slowly rotating black vortex in the air, then looked at her, but did not take any action.
Wei Hang had no ill will towards He Yi, and she was also relieved that He Yi was willing to live in peace with her.
She walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down at the city. Unlike the Jijiang Continent, the city here was like a cold jungle, especially the mirror world now seemed empty except for them, making it even more unpopular.
Standing next to the silent Wei Hang, He Yi's desire to talk suddenly seemed to rise - or rather, this was the reason why she came down in the first place. She looked at the city and said, "Do you want to know our plan?"
Ji Weihang could see that she had something to say, so he didn't mind listening. "Go ahead."
He Yi did not start with the plan directly, but asked Wei Hang a question: "What do you think Zhang Lingjiang, Li Ruyu and Chen Anan have in common?"
Wei Hang pondered for a moment and said, "They all represent a vulnerable group." Previously, when she was in the Rules Sorting Bureau, she had briefly looked at the "birth history" of each king.
He Yi nodded and said, "Zhang Lingjiang was a talented woman from thousands of years ago, but her talent was constrained by so-called ethical principles.
"Before she got married, her talent was a small decoration of the family and a decoration to increase her status; after she got married, her talent became a capital for her husband to show off. The poetry collection that contained her thoughts was only circulated in a small circle, and she never had a chance to show her talent.
"Although she died in an encounter with a gangster, her obsession was the resentment of her unfulfilled ambitions and her talent but nowhere to display it."
"So, she is trapped in a body of ink and brush that is made of ethics and moral principles." A piece of paper appeared in He Yi's hand, with a faint smell of ink and brush, which was exactly what Zhang Lingjiang had been wearing before. "She is a representative of women who are oppressed by the world."
Jijiang Continent has always respected women since ancient times, and there has never been such a thing - there may be people with talents who are not appreciated, but there will never be no room for them to display their talents because of social oppression. Wei Hang frowned slightly.
He Yi put away the paper and continued, "As for Li Ruyu, she was born in a superstitious mountain village. When she was six years old, she was sent to a snake cave as a sacrifice to the snake fairy and eaten alive in her sleep.
"There are three children in her family. Except for the youngest, she, the other two are boys. She was designated as a substitute for her brother since she was born - if her brother was selected as a sacrifice, she would take his place.
"She was taught a lot of bullshit from a young age, such as 'If she hadn't had a brother, she wouldn't have been born' and 'She was born for her brother'. However, she was free-spirited and was not brainwashed. She died with a strong hatred.
"Her obsession is with the weak self trapped in the snake cave, or with every weak child abandoned and abused by her family. She is both a victim of the preference for boys over girls and a representative of abused children."
He Yi paused and continued:
"Chen An'an's subjective consciousness comes from a Persian cat named An'an. Her owner is a girl who loves animals but unfortunately suffers from heart disease. An'an often goes to the hospital to visit her.
"After An An was stolen by a cat abuser, she was always worried that her owner would get sick, and her owner became her obsession. At that time, the dark world had not yet merged with the human world, and only the stronger Yougui could see some scenes in the human world, so this kitten who chose to take the owner's surname Chen began to learn how to hunt in the dark world.
"After the Dark Realm descended, Chen Anan, who had been promoted to the Obsession Level, could not wait to find her master's whereabouts, but found that her master had a recurrence of heart disease after she was stolen and died soon after."
"Chen Anan hates humans who abuse animals. It represents animals oppressed by humans."
Wei Hang said: "You want to gather the most typical disadvantaged groups in your world."
"The weaker you are, the more hatred you will have after you die." He Yi's hand touched her chest. There was no throbbing of her heartbeat, but she could feel the hidden blood boiling in her body. The more this happened, the lower her voice became. "The world of hatred and injustice, and the lack of protection for the weak, are the rules that favor the strong."
"My plan," she said firmly, looking up into Weihang's eyes, "is to create a more equal and harmonious society where the rules can protect those who should be protected."
Wei Hang looked at her, his brows slightly raised, "Stepping on the corpses of Zhang Lingjiang and the others?"
Her expression did not turn ugly. She looked at Wei Hang and said calmly, "The establishment of a new world requires a foundation. This has been necessary since ancient times."
"They don't seem to know." Wei Hang said, "Why don't you tell them?"
"The nature of ghosts is cold and ruthless. Apart from obsession, they are rarely emotional. They will not agree with my ideals and devote themselves to the new world." He Yi said, "The ghosts I contacted, such as the emperor in Jing City and the emperor in Nanzhu City, are ghosts who I think can and are willing to contribute to this."
Wei Hang raised his eyebrows. "What will happen next? After the plan succeeds, what will you become? The creator of the rules? The ruler of the new world?"
She looked up at the black vortex that was gradually stopping. The dark energy of the entire mirror world was concentrated there. Even standing here, she could feel the strong negative force compressing her. When the internal pressure reached a certain level, the consequences of the explosion would be very terrifying.
"I will also become the cornerstone of the new world." He Yi said calmly, "I will become a strand of the myriad rules of the new world, just like the other ghosts. We are all equal."
"Therefore, you don't have to worry about not completing the mission. After my plan is implemented, there will definitely not be a single ghost left in Donghe City. In other words, all the ghosts in the southern part will disappear."
"In the new world, rules come first. Bullying the weak, favoring boys over girls, gender discrimination, and animal abuse are prohibited..." He Yi looked at the empty city in the mirror, but seemed to see the scene of the new world, with a faint smile in his eyes, "And we will become the sharp blade of the rules and the law enforcers."
Weihang didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say, nor did he want to say anything.
"Actually, you have guessed why you were born upstairs from my house." He Yi tilted his head and showed a slightly sarcastic sneer on his face.
“The thing behind you wants to stop me, so I put you, the player with the highest win rate against me, upstairs in my house, hoping that we will clash.
"——The one who has a grudge against you is indeed powerful, but she is of the same origin as Yougui, and can be easily restrained by the ancient instrument in my hand."
"If you kill me now and stop my plan, maybe the 'system' behind you will give you a big reward later."
Wei Hang was indifferent, "I'm not its thug."
She agreed to enter this so-called wishing game for only one reason—she couldn't find Ying Feiqiong but was eager to kill her.
Hearing her answer, He Yi smiled, floated up, looked down at her and said, "Your friends will be returned to you. After you get out, don't run around. Everything will be over soon."
Fu Xuan and Yao He emerged from a dark shadow on the rooftop. As soon as they stood firm on the rooftop, the three of them were enveloped by a burst of colorful light and driven out of the mirror world.
As soon as the colorful light disappeared, noisy voices instantly drowned out the three people - "What suddenly appeared?", "Visitors from another world", "Quickly ask them what's going on now..."
Looking at the panicked faces swaying before his eyes, Wei Hang accurately found a relatively calm face among them and pulled her out of the crowd.
Intermediate mediator Gu Ruyi explained the current situation to her. Ten minutes ago, the Emperor-level Ghost Liuli appeared in Donghe City and required all humans to take emergency shelter and enter the air-raid shelter.
Now they are in the air-raid shelter under the Rules Organization Bureau. This is a place specially prepared when the Dark World first came. It can block a certain degree of dark energy.
There are air-raid shelters everywhere under the entire Donghe City, enough for everyone to hide.
After checking that Fu Xuan was fine and telling her to stay with Yao He and not leave, Wei Hang left alone in panic and came to the outside of the Rules Sorting Bureau.
Sure enough, she saw a huge black vortex in the air and the figures beside the vortex, and He Yi also came out at the same time as them.
He Yi glanced in her direction, then looked away, picked up the thing in his hand, and threw it into the rapidly spinning black vortex that was condensing dark energy.
Those items were a black umbrella, a mirror, a brush, and a pearl.
Wei Hang only recognized the Soul-Destroying Umbrella and did not recognize the other items, but the shaking Styx Sword in her hand seemed to tell her that those items had the same origin as it.
After these ancient instruments entered the vortex, a violent white light suddenly erupted from the depths of the black vortex, but it did not penetrate the vortex. Instead, it seemed to hit a barrier and was blocked back.
But the black vortex seemed to be stimulated, and the speed of gathering dark energy became faster and faster. From a distance, it looked like a black hole that intended to swallow the whole world.
The sky was covered with thick dark clouds. It was clearly afternoon, but the entire Donghe City was shrouded in darkness. The steel jungle seemed even colder and more ruthless. Only the sound of horns from nowhere echoed through the city, urgent and mechanical, like an eerie and sad song.
Weihang did not approach them, but watched from a distance.
The woman in blue clothes and a blindfold next to He Yi said a few words to He Yi and then also fell into the whirlpool.
The speed at which the vortex condensed the dark energy remained unchanged, but its color slowly turned into gray.
He Yi looked in the direction of Wei Hang again, and then disappeared into the black vortex.
The black vortex suddenly stagnated, and then a violent white light burst out from the center of the vortex.
This time, white light penetrated the darkness.
The white light was so blinding that even Wei Hang could not stare at it for long and closed his eyes.
The loss of vision should have caused a feeling of uneasiness, but Wei Hang's body seemed to be floating in a warm ocean, feeling safe and comfortable. A familiar voice gradually appeared in her ears:
"Take good care of the Styx Sword, it is a treasure in my collection."...the voice of the arrogant woman.
"Do you have a grudge against that person? Why not help me get my revenge?" A gentle and steady voice... should it be the embroiderer?
"Ah, we can sleep now..." Wu Lin said lazily.
"I'm so angry! What new world is this? I don't want it!" Li Ruyu's noisy voice.
"I will definitely become the patron saint of animals." Chen Anan swore solemnly.
“Do I have to drive in the future?” the No. 45 bus driver said with a smile.
"Yeah, new world! New world!" the children cheered.
“Hehe…”
“…”
Countless eerie sounds intertwined together. In addition to those that had been seen before, there were also many sounds that could not be identified or heard clearly.
"I hope your world will always be beautiful." He Yi's calm voice finally fell into his ears.
His body suddenly fell to the ground and there was a sudden silence in his ears. Wei Hang opened his eyes and found that the steel jungle had disappeared and there was a simple stone cave in front of him.
She has returned to Jijiang Continent, her own world.
