She held up some old photos, tears streaming down her wrinkles, which were memories of her and her late husband in this community.

These things were not the first time that Lingyi and Patchouli had seen them.

During these four days, they traveled to many cities.

It can be said that almost every city is like this, more or less the same.

The world is complex. It has both disgusting cruelty and touching warmth.

But in general...

"It's pretty bad."

Lingyi's emerald green eyes reflected the countless lights of the city, flickering with an emotion called disappointment.

There are too many inhuman insects, and these insects in high positions are trying their best to persecute other people.

For their own benefit, for their own selfish desires.

They will try every possible means to exploit others - they use a complete chain of interests to completely control every aspect of people's lives. They only need to move their fingers to stop production in a factory or close a supermarket, and thousands of people will face the heavy pressure of survival.

In some cities, even breathing requires a tax, just to squeeze every drop of blood out of people.

Faced with such extreme exploitation, people will naturally feel extremely dissatisfied.

But it doesn't matter. Just keep creating conflicts, make people tired of surviving and fighting among themselves, make them hungry but not starving to death, surround them with enemies, let their minds be corrupted by addictive drugs, and abandon their noble morals and spirits, then no one will have the mind to resist.

At the same time, there are also many contradictions between high-level officials and between countries.

These insects have made the world a mess!

Not much to say.

With such a social situation, how can we still fight against collapse?

If you leave it alone, you never know when it might explode.

It's amazing that Alicia can still have such a great love for humans after traveling through such a world.

Lingyi found it a little unbelievable.

During the days she was traveling, she almost couldn't suppress her anger several times.

It's not just the rage to kill the insects in the upper levels, but also the rage to purify the entire world.

Because these policies of keeping the people ignorant have not been introduced for the first time, but have lasted for decades and have continued to cover more than an entire generation of people.

Some people can be said to have been brainwashed, and their heads are filled with disgusting ideas that Lingyi cannot understand.

Even though Lingyi knew that they were not to blame and that the culprits were those high-level insects, she still couldn't help getting angry sometimes when she saw these people doing stupid things.

She would really be pissed off and laugh.

202.Experience the local customs and culture

For example, the situation right now—

Lingyi and Patchouli have been traveling around for the past two days, not just to appreciate the local customs and experience the "simple folk customs".

They are also preparing for the mission.

To put it bluntly, Lingyi wants to save the world and eradicate pests. This is what he wants to do.

Although Patchouli doesn't mind accompanying Lingyi to do these things, even if Patchouli goes to a world like Black Bullet alone.

Even without Lingyi around, Patchouli herself would have acted out of the anthropomorphic behavior of those pests.

But whether it's saving the world or eradicating pests, Patchouli would do these things, and it was undoubtedly more for the purpose of accompanying Lingyi.

She herself wanted to complete the mission more.

Of course, Lingyi will not just focus on doing her own thing, she also needs to consider what Patchouli wants to do.

The reason why Patchouli teamed up with her was obviously to better complete the mission.

Although the two are now a couple, the reason they stay together has become love.

Of the four quests, seizing the Key of God and defeating the Herrscher are the easiest.

For the former, just go to GTI or Hafk, and for the latter, just wait for the Herrscher to appear.

To this end, they also set up magic circles when traveling around, so that if a major destruction breaks out around them, they will be the first to know the news.

Then comes the task of changing the plot and gaining Alicia's approval.

Lingyi is currently focusing on the former task of changing the plot.

This difficulty is a little bit high.

Lingyi herself only has a general knowledge of the previous civilization, which is not like a normal anime or game plot that can be used as a reference.

Now GTI and Havk have appeared inexplicably.

The already vague plot has now been changed beyond recognition.

Logically speaking, the task should have been completed directly.

But the 13% on the task interface reminded Lingyi that there was no such good thing.

However, this 13% was not caused by Lingyi's actions.

But it was something Lingyi had since he came to this world.

Combined with the appearance of GTI and Hafk, Lingyi speculated that the mission should not be to let them tamper with the plot after it has been changed beyond recognition.

Rather, the plot that needs to be changed is actually the original plot, and the appearance of Hafk and GTI does not actually change much.

This is obviously unreasonable, as the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire are now in conflict with each other.

So what is the plot that is going to change?

Lingyi had already made some guesses - the final destruction of the previous civilization.

Saving the world and changing the final outcome of the previous civilization should be enough to complete this task.

But there is no need to really save the world, after all, the task requires the change to reach 30%.

Moreover, the mission only gave them thirty days. It was too difficult to save the world in thirty days, after all, the Herrschers had only released the fourth Herrscher.

In order to verify this guess, Lingyi found an original plot that had not yet been changed beyond recognition. She wanted to see if the mission would change after she inserted this plot.

And this plot is the plot of Qianjie.

Lingyi and Patchouli found the village where Qianjie was discovered in the original work.

In her memory, there were not many descriptions of the village, and she did not remember it very clearly.

She didn't even remember whether it was a village or a small town. She only knew that Qianjie, who fell from the sky, was tied up and bled after being discovered by the villagers.

After arriving in the village, Lingyi found that the actual situation was far worse than he had expected.

On the surface, this village seems nothing special.

It even has a feeling of beautiful mountains and rivers and simple folk customs.

Lingyi and Patchouli arrived at the village in the afternoon. They saw white walls and green tiles, surrounded by green trees, and the villagers were also very hospitable.

There is a church, a primary school, and a supermarket, everything looks normal.

Occasionally, you can see children in the village playing and the elderly basking in the sun outside.

Rather than being a village, it is almost the size of a small town, as it is a transportation hub located on the edge of the mountains, and travelers or vehicles pass by from time to time.

However, the situation in the village was not so lively and noisy.

There are simple post stations, gas stations, B&Bs and other buildings in the village, but the flow of people is not high because the road connecting the village is quite old and is obviously a semi-abandoned passage.

Lingyi and Patchouli attracted a lot of attention when they stepped into the village.

It's not because the two of them are special enough. They cast a spell on themselves to reduce their presence and affect cognition. In the eyes of others, they are just two ordinary women.

It seems that this declining village is quite concerned about the arrival of guests.

After feeling some attention, someone soon came up to greet me warmly.

"Hello, ladies. I'm from this village. Do you look like you're traveling?"

"Yes, we are traveling and just happened to pass by here."

Lingyi's attitude was quite cold, but she still responded to the other party's words.

"I see. If we continue walking from here, we'll be heading into the mountains. It's getting late, and there are bound to be wild beasts in the mountains. How about we rest in the village tonight?"

As if he was trying to attract customers, the middle-aged man was quite enthusiastic and didn't care about Lingyi's attitude at all.

"People often pass by here. It used to be even busier, so we've prepared a lot of guesthouses and restaurants. We're sure it will provide a good place to rest."

"Okay, lead the way."

There was no politeness or courtesy, just a cold response, and Ling Yi even seemed to be in a condescending manner.

Yes, she had opinions about these villagers, and they were very serious.

It wasn’t because of Qianjie, whom she hadn’t met yet, but because of the reaction between her judgment and karma fire.

Since she entered the village, every person she saw, even the children, was covered in extremely thick black fog. Only some children, especially the very young ones, had a lighter black fog.

How could you expect Ling Yi to be in a good mood when it comes to a village that needs to sign an extermination order?

He didn't kill them right away because he was curious about what these people were doing.

These black mists are definitely not just produced by tying up Qianjie and bleeding him.

"..."

A hint of gloom flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, but it was fleeting and so faint that ordinary people could not see it at all.

He smiled and lowered his posture, leading Lingyi and Patchouli to a two-story building.

"This way, please."

.................

203. Simple folk customs, my family

They invaded and modified the pinhole cameras installed in the bedroom, bathroom, toilet and other places in the room, and then burned the drug-laced dinner provided by the B&B to ashes.

Lingyi stood up and walked to the window, looking at the village that was shrouded in the night.

Tranquility and peace, but how much disgusting darkness is hidden beneath this?

It doesn't matter. After tonight, this village will probably no longer exist.

"Let's go, Patchy, and see how anthropomorphic this village really is."

After leaving the B&B, Lingyi chose to follow her intuition.

Her intuition now has some mysterious effects.

If you set a goal and then follow your instincts, you will generally be able to achieve it—with rare exceptions, such as when a greater power is involved.

First stop - the basement of the church.

Here, Lingyi saw a small workshop with shoddy workmanship.

The size can accommodate nearly a hundred people working here at the same time, and their work is to make a white powder.

When Lingyi arrived, there were still many people here busy making powder. They were extremely shocked by Lingyi's appearance.

Then people immediately picked up weapons, ranging from machetes to guns.

After chopping off everyone's heads, Lingyi picked up a little powder and analyzed its composition.

Well, unexpectedly but understandably, it's some kind of powerful addictive substance.

Lingyi also saw a strange sign here. This sign was not seen outside and could only be seen in this hidden workshop.

Second stop – a hotel.

"I'm sorry, sir, our store is full today."

The girl at the front desk smiled with a business-like smile.

"Full of guests?"
