Ark, they don't revolve around you

But when the smoke cleared, there were still a few minions standing. Many brave warriors rushed into the battlefield without hesitation. If they could not be killed by the bombs, they would fight with bayonets. If they died now, they would die, and if they lost their plan, they would die too. It would be better to chop off the heads of these minions than to wait for death!

Lin Yuxia was moved by the selfless actions of these warriors. She had always known the nature of gangs in her heart, that they were nothing but trash who bullied the weak and feared the strong. But it turned out that they still valued the citizens of Longmen so much.

Strands of quicksand were flying around. Lin Yuxia had no expression on her face, but she wanted to go to the battlefield in person. The old man next to her was horrified and hurriedly stood in front of her to stop her:

"Ms. Lin, you absolutely cannot do this, you absolutely cannot do this!"

"Longmen is also my home. You value your lives and let your men risk their lives, but I don't care."

I don't care about your life, but I have to think about my family... The old man was about to cry. He didn't know whether Lin Yuxia was trying to win people's hearts or whether the daughter of the Rat King was really full of justice. In short, he would never let this person get hurt.

Why is it so unlucky today? All the bad things happened to them. They just used their best weapons to deal with the accomplices. They suffered heavy losses. Miss Lin is still not obedient and sensible. The old man lowered his eyes to hide the sorrow in his eyes.

Half an hour ago, a mandatory mission popped up on the deep dark web of the underworld. The goal was to stop the machine's minions from harming the poor. There was no reward indicated, but the ID was blank.

At that time, few people knew what a weapon was, but did they know who this ID belonged to? It was the Rhodes Island doctor who had sworn allegiance just a few days ago.

This is not a task, it is an order. The doctor issued another one later.

[If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. The standard is based on human lives. I have people in your group. Please consider it for yourself. Remember, please have some shame.]

Consider? In the past few months, many gangs have disappeared inexplicably, so we must consider carefully. Anyway, the doctor has given orders, so we just need to obey. Those who dare to work without putting in effort are now dead.

But nothing can happen to Lin Yuxia.

The old man felt bitter. Everyone knew that he had committed many crimes when he was young and was not a good person. But now he put on a serious face:

"Miss Lin, that's not right. Longmen is our home, there is no distinction between high and low. But you are our banner. Miss, how do you compare to the Rat King? If you are not as good as him, just leave it to us. We can die, but you can't be harmed!"

After hearing this, Lin Yuxia thought for a moment before nodding her head in agreement.

"Well done," she praised.

I think it’s good too. If it weren’t good, I wouldn’t be in this position… The old man laughed, feeling a little proud in his heart. So what if he was that person’s dog? It wasn’t too late for others to be dogs.

The explosion resounded throughout Longmen. That night, not only the gang members were unable to sleep, but even the residents of the slums were kept awake all night because of the noise.

……

Gantry.

In the deserted park, the young man in black clothes frowned, with a few beasts crawling docilely around him. He stroked the fur of the beasts with his hands, as if he was treating a pet.

The decision to choose Longmen was a sudden inspiration, because he had recently seen on the news that Wei Yanwu had left Longmen, and he was certain that the city was empty. He also remembered that the man named Zhuang Ning was also here, and since he wanted to use a city to stir up chaos, Longmen would naturally be a good sacrifice.

He thought there would be a bigger commotion, but there were only a few casualties. The Guards and the gangs in the slums showed amazing qualities and were extremely hard-working. The man had seen such people before, those brave leaders in troubled times who could easily command their men.

"Is this the Doctor? I underestimated you." The man sighed and stood up from the bench. "Jie said that you would be a threat. Although doing so would not be friendly to my sisters, I must kill you..."

There was a pen in his hand. The black bony pen was held by a person who was too pale, and he quietly wrote a word.

kill.

The void shook. This word shocked the heaven and earth and made ghosts and gods howl. It was like an order. When this word was written, the fate had already determined the outcome.

But when the man wanted to write the two words "Zhuang Ning", he couldn't do it. His expression did not change. He just sighed softly and wiped off the traces of the words.

"Forget it, let's do it ourselves." He whispered coldly and snapped his fingers. A towering statue walked out of the woods. It looked like an emperor, with its mouth open and its head held high proudly - this was naturally the instrument that was given life in the temple.

"Go kill someone." The man turned around, walked calmly and disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared in the beginning.

Chapter 71: This world is not worthy of his trust

"Block that street. The actions of the accomplices follow a certain pattern. You just need to ask Shi Huaiya for instructions..."

"Lin Yuxia is suspicious? Don't worry, I told you not to expose it. Pretend to be calm and confident, and talk about your past as if you were a person who is about to die... Haven't you watched TV dramas? Act like they are in TV dramas!"

In the lobby on the first floor of Taikoo Plaza, Zhuang Ning switched several channels. His laptop could receive the channel of the Guard Bureau. The entire Longmen street block was divided into different blocks and exposed on the screen.

There was someone on the other end of the headset speaking in a low voice, with words of flattery. Sometimes Zhuang Ning felt that life was really great. Every species would seek benefits and avoid harm, but humans had the most powerful ability to please. As long as you had power in your hands, they would do their best to please you.

In the past, Zhuang Ning might have been in a good mood, but tonight he was too busy. Shi Huaiya could be a mascot and Lin Yuxia could go to the pile of weapons and die, but what Zhuang Ning had to do was to stop the situation from getting worse.

That's why he always switches channels. He wears different masks for different people. Facing the underworld, he must be like a cunning wolf, but he must show full integrity to the Guards. It's simple to deal with the Chamber of Commerce. Just declare your power and they will obey you.

Although he looked busy, he was actually just talking to a few people. When he heard the person on the combat headset report that the situation had stabilized, Zhuang Ning's hands on the keyboard paused slightly.

A person's social circle is so small, he only needs to firmly control the top few people, and he can naturally control the entire Longmen. Just like most official positions are unnecessary for the emperor. He only needs to accept the prime ministers under the Zhongshumen and the ministers of the six ministries. Those officials praise the real dragon all day long. The emperor is also the owner of Dayan in name, but the means he implements rely on the people below.

"Well done." Zhuang Ning murmured softly at last and turned off the channel. There was no need for any more instructions. Longmen should not act like a whimpering child.

As long as the initial chaos is over, both the Guards and the gangs will be able to do their best. Zhuang Ning watches the struggle of the soldiers on the screen like a father.

"Shining." He called the girl's name. After finishing all this, he finally talked to the girl. "Thank you for your hard work."

There were many strange and evil beasts piled up around the Shining, some of which were furniture, some were calligraphy and paintings, but they could not get close to Zhuang Ning.

The magic of the Shining was too violent for life. Unless one's life was as thick as that of the Scavenger King, who had endured thousands of years of decay, how could one withstand the sword of judgment? Moreover, the lives of these monsters were as thin as paper.

Shining exhaled, and seeing that he was at ease, she mustered up her courage. She had betrayed someone before, and no matter how justified the reason was, it was still an ironclad fact. Shining had thought about coming to Rhodes Island in the past six months, but she could never see the Doctor.

This time, she felt she had to speak out.

But Zhuang Ning spoke even faster: "Shinling, go support somewhere else, my people are coming."

"Ok?"

"My operators are here, there's no need for you to waste your abilities on me." He ordered them to leave without hesitation, but still with a smile.

Shining felt distressed. It turned out that the alienation and suspicion were not lies. This man was doubting her. He just accepted her because he was weak and needed a helper. But when someone took over, he was absolutely unwilling to let a woman get close to him.

Even though Zhuang Ning was still dominating the world not long ago, commanding both the black and white worlds with his own will, this man still looked around with a vigilant look, like a wild beast hiding in the dark, fearing other ferocious beasts.

Footsteps came from completely different places, and Shining opened his lips almost pleadingly: "I'm sorry."

"There's no need to say sorry. If you hadn't killed me, Liz would have died... No, actually you didn't kill me. How could a normal person survive with a pierced heart? You used magic to keep me alive when I was dying, so Kal'tsit was able to save me from the devil."

Although this is consolation, it is also true. Moral dilemma is one of the most fucked up things in this world because it only works for people with conscience. Good people are most likely to be used as a tool, but if you don't make a choice, the result will be worse.

Zhuang Ning also thought about it while lying on the hospital bed. One is his best friend who has been through thick and thin with him and the symbol of the most abuse, and the other is a body bag that has only been with him for more than half a year. What should he choose? Is it necessary? If it were Zhuang Ning himself, he would definitely choose the former, right?

But betrayal still hurts. When the sword pierced his chest, split his ribs and cut into his beating heart, it was like a basin of extremely cold water running through him from head to toe. The whole world was frozen. He was not a saint, and his pressure had reached its limit. He thought he should be able to welcome a warm embrace, but the reality left a mark on his face that can never be erased.

Yes, you have reasons, so be it, but you still let me down. In fact, he was often betrayed in Terra. As long as it involves power and life and death, trust is the most unreliable thing in the world. The meritorious officials trusted by the emperor may rebel at some point. What's the point of that except killing them?

Betrayal can never be healed, but Shining is still useful to him. This pardoner girl is actually a great contributor to Rhodes Island. It was she who hacked her own brother to death and destroyed the Pardoner family with a glorious history. She should have stayed in Rhodes Island, but she still ran away.

This time Zhuang Ning couldn't let her go. The Pardoner was such a rare existence, such a good trump card. Compared with him, what was his little grudge?

"It's okay, but you have a bigger mission." Zhuang Ning smiled.

But the more this happened, the paler Shining's face became. Her magic and life... were too closely connected with the soul. Emotions were what sustained her life. Unraveling the mystery and digging out emotions from the torrent of life was the specialty of the Absolver.

There was a demon king with white horns in history who could weave the desires of every warrior. Shining certainly couldn't do that, but she saw it and felt the suspicion. She dropped her outstretched hand, nodded quietly, and turned around.

After a brief reunion, they indeed separated again, but Shining was in a trance and thought that they had never met again.

At the last moment, before the others arrived, Shining turned her eyes back, tears falling, and she shouted, "I'm sorry!"

There was no response. The black man put himself in the darkness. He didn't mind apologizing. There was no one in this world worthy of his trust.

Chapter 72 My sister is under your care

The three girls were the ones who handed over the Shining. Zhuang Ning was not too surprised when he saw them. The distress signal he sent out specified that it was for elite operators and above. Even the weakest of the elite operators, Huang, could fight against a hundred alone and free fall from a height of several hundred meters if they had a disagreement.

It would be great if Huang and Rosemary were here, but they also had to go on missions and could only rely on foreigners. Zhuang Ning smiled. In the simulated world, as long as he gave an order, the Witch King's tower would move for him, but now he really had to start from scratch.

Longmen is very important, but Longmen means nothing - this is not a contradiction. Longmen is a city with extremely important economic value and geographical significance, but Longmen is too small after all. What it needs is a more vast land, such as Ursus or Yan, and at the very least it has to be Syracuse.

Not to mention what kind of evil and crazy plan this man was brewing in his heart, just looking at the three people who came to kill was shocking. The lone wolf of Syracuse waved his two swords and shook off the blood on the swords. She changed into a dress tonight, so her temperament changed from a slacking employee of Penguin Logistics to a bloodthirsty wolf. Even an adult could wield those two huge swords, but Texas held them easily in her hands.

This girl usually behaves too low-key and silent, but she is a born Syracusan. People from twelve families are besieging her. She is walking in the flames, with fallen corpses all around her, but the girl doesn't even look at them. Who could be a better warrior than her?

And there is Mostima. Angels always have an inexplicable holiness in the darkness, even if they are covered in blood.

In fact, if you don’t know them, you will always think that Mostima and Texas are very similar. You will never know what these two people are thinking. The difference is that Texas degenerated from a wolf into a dog. After all, wolves should run freely in the wilderness, while dogs will stay at home and depend on their owners.

But Mostima is still a bird, flapping its wings, and will not stop flapping even if it is injured. This girl should be so free, and her calmness has the strength of a relieved person.

No matter what, the girl tonight was also very beautiful. The only flaw was that she was holding a crazy gun in her hand. Mostima was the only person Zhuang Ning asked to come, just to deliver this heavy gun.

This was once a token that Mostima gave to the doctor. After the girl left, Zhuang Ning put it in the storage room, where it rested with so many memories.

The last person to come... Zhuang Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, she was indeed a little surprised. She should not have been there. Chief Chen is the current lord of Longmen, he should be dressed like Wei Yanwu. That bastard Wei Yanwu must have been an amazing swordsman when he was young, but now that he has become the governor of Longmen, how many days will it take for him to take action personally?

The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall.

But Chen Huijie still came, and the girl didn't keep her composure. Zhuang Ning admitted that he was a little disappointed with the girl. Although he had ignored her, he still hoped that she could behave in a way that was consistent with her status.

Everyone in the world is a gear. Some gears are insignificant and can be replaced if they get stuck. But some gears are broken and it is very difficult to replace them. Chen Huijie is the latter. Zhuang Ning thought that this girl should sit in the hall, facing the camera and microphone to speak to all the citizens of Longmen to calm their hearts.

Tonight she wore a uniform, a white shirt with a short-sleeved shirt on the outside, and two swords hanging from her waist, one was a standard sword, and the other was the real deadly sword Chi Xiao. She dressed herself like a superintendent of the Guards Bureau, as if she had returned to two years ago.

Perhaps he should have reprimanded the girl, but he didn't say it, and the matter was done. A smile appeared on Zhuang Ning's calm face.

Then, he suddenly leaned forward, rolled over, raised the pistol in his hand, and fired three bullets at the darkness behind him. The protective equipment on his body emitted a dim fluorescence, proving that he had indeed encountered some kind of attack just now.

"Dodged... They said that Doctor, you don't have a strong body, but your tactical thinking and brain are your greatest reliance." A faint voice sounded, and the fluorescent light from the skylight illuminated the man's appearance. He was so handsome that he didn't look like an ordinary person. He seemed like an immortal who walked out of an ancient scroll.

He seemed to have been standing there from the beginning, blending into the space. Several bullets were suspended in the air, and with a wave of the man's fingertips, they naturally fell to the ground.

"Scout." Zhuang Ning said coldly, "Didn't you notice this person?"

"Not at all. Sorry, Doctor." Scout, who was holding the gun, had dry lips. Yan was really a hell of a country. Could the people here follow the Basic Law? The man avoided the Originium perception surrounding Zhuang Ning, which proved that he was not even using Originium skills to hide his breath!

"These are fragments of the year, there's no need to panic." Zhuang Ning sighed.

Even if Sui is not the strongest beast, he is almost at the peak. How can the fragments separated from it be easily passed? What's more, the person standing in front of him is him... the second fragment of Sui beast, Ling, Nian, Xi's second brother.

Chen Huijie, Texas and Mostima were shocked and quickly protected Zhuang Ning behind them, but they were a little slow as Zhuang Ning had already swiftly dodged to the cover.

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "We have never met before, and you want to kill me?"

"It's not like we've never met before. My sisters are all connected to you." The man laughed. "Besides, you're here to kill me anyway. You asked your people to pay attention to the abnormality, but you found out that I'm the culprit. If you get rid of me, the weapon will naturally return to its original state without a master."

He took out the wine cup, the gorgeous cup glowed in the night. This thing had caused troubles in the Great Yan territory several times, but it never occurred to him that it would eventually return to the man.

Zhuang Ning smiled slightly and said, "We have no grudges against each other, so we should talk it out..."

"You want to delay time? You do have a backup plan." The man said what he was thinking, and then smiled again, "But if you want to talk, I don't mind. I just saw Ling recently. She was in a long sleep and was depressed. I guess your words must have hurt her. I don't have a good relationship with my other sisters, but Ling is the only one who is willing to play chess with me. Even if it's just for this little bit of brother-sister love, I have to ask you for clarification."

Zhuang Ning's throat became dry. Not to mention that his thoughts were seen through, Ling was not within his scope of concern. What suffocated him was the wine cup in the man's hand. The wine cup gave the people around him a sense of commonality.

At this moment, there was a hint of ancient and mysterious breath in the wine cup, as if a pair of tyrannical eyes opened, wreaking havoc on the pain and anger of being betrayed for thousands of years.
