Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

Qin Song waved to her retreating figure, "Remember!"

Mark walked over, frowning as he looked at Qin Song. "What were you doing with Ran Bing just now?"

Qin Song smiled and said, "I'm exchanging hunting tips with Ran Bing."

Mark said in a deep voice, "I heard that you've been spending a lot of time with Ran Bing these past few days, and you've been taking her down to the surface quite often. The two of you..."

Qin Song's expression was solemn. "Mark, what kind of person do you think I am? What are you thinking about all day? Have you killed all the Devouring Beasts? Is the ground safe? Can you even count the corpses of the Hunters?"

Mark paused, feeling as if he should be the one delivering those lines.

Qin Song turned around and walked towards the dormitory, taking out his tablet computer and starting to use it.

Yes, as is customary, all male priests have been replaced with women.

Just then, the Black-Clad Gang sent word that 4068 had been taken away by Vatican.

Qin Song's eyes flashed; it seemed that the guy and Mark were ultimately unable to escape their fate.

Now that he has already received 4277, how will Charles pressure 4068?

Looking at the original drama, the character of 4068 has a rather complex personality.

He is both compassionate and righteous, as well as decisive and ruthless. He yearns to change the injustice of his fate, and at times he is extremely sensitive and insecure. In fact, he is a true reflection of the lowest level of people.

Qin Song shook his head slightly.

Everyone has their own destiny, and what we should do is respect the destiny of others and enjoy a happy life.

Ran Bing passed through several checkpoints and entered the Dawn Hall with a heavy heart.

When I saw that familiar figure on the octagonal bed, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although her face was obscured by a mask, she could tell that he was indeed Qin Song.

Qin Song gently picked her up and placed her on the octagonal bed. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "For the survival of the Lighthouse, we must pass on our excellent genes. May the Holy Light be with you!"

"Yes, Qin..."

Shh! Don't speak, just feel it!

Outside the Morning Light Hall.

Sarif stood ready, scepter in hand.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement at the gate.

He tilted his head. Didn't the head of the council say that Mark would come and cause trouble?

But even after Ran Bing left the Dawn Hall, he hadn't seen a single hair of Mark.

Just then, his headset suddenly rang, "Sir Sharif, Mark is violently occupying the medical department. Please proceed to provide support immediately."

Shalif instantly perked up.

Good heavens! I've been waiting for you here for ages, and you've been using a diversionary tactic!

He immediately strode towards the medical department.

The head of the association's office.

Charles exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say? Mark didn't go to the Hall of Dawn?"

Dude, you can tolerate the woman you like having children with other men?

Fanti couldn't help but ask, "Chief, could it be that we've all guessed wrong? Maybe Mark and Ran Bing don't have that kind of relationship at all? Perhaps they just see each other as brother and sister?"

Charles's face stiffened. Impossible! He had calculated everything perfectly; he couldn't possibly have misjudged!

"Go and summon Qin Song!"

A short while later, Qin Song walked into the office with a relaxed gait. "What brings you here so late, Chief?"

"Did you participate in a breeding mission tonight?"

"Nothing unexpected happened? For example, Mark didn't cause any trouble?" Charles suspected his subordinates were lying to him.

Qin Song almost burst out laughing. "No."

Little Yellow Hair had no idea that Ran Bing hadn't told Mark about the breeding program.

Even if he did tell Mark, he might not actually go.

After all, things are different now than in the original drama; Ran Bing didn't confess her feelings to Mark.

Given Mark's hesitant nature, he wouldn't dare to force his way in even if he had ten times the courage.

Charles suddenly questioned his existence. Had he studied psychology for so long been for nothing?

Just then, Vatican suddenly pushed open the door.

"Your Excellency, Mark stormed into the medical department and threatened the doctors to transplant the heart of a commoner named Dust 1225 into an upper-class citizen."

"He also severely injured Sharif and many priests."

Charles clapped his hands and laughed, thankfully he had prepared more than one backup plan.

Mark ultimately did not let him down!

Transplanting the heart of a commoner into an upper-class citizen is not actually a very serious crime.

But that Upper Citizen was once the husband of Dust Citizen 1225, which seriously violates the three laws: abolishing family relationships and genetic optimization. Mark has violated two of them.

It's worth noting that Mark's sister, Red Hair, only had one close encounter with Dawn before being burned at the stake. That was the most outstanding Hunter Commander in history.

This demonstrates the severity of the three laws.

You, a future city lord, are helping a couple from the old world get organ transplants. What are you trying to do? Do you want to abolish the Three Laws?

"Let's go! I need to see the city lord!" Charles immediately stood up.

Upon arriving at the city lord's office, I briefly explained the whole story.

Morgan clutched his chest in anger. "Damn it! How dare he?"

Charles's lips curled up slightly. "That Dustman 1225 asked me for help during the blessing ceremony, but I didn't agree. There were many priests present at the time."

"Tonight, Mark helped 1225 rekindle her relationship with her husband in front of many Dust Citizens. Her Dust Citizen friends were also present. This matter can probably no longer be kept secret."

Morgan coughed violently.

Charles rushed forward and said with concern, "Father, your health is of utmost importance."

He flipped his hand and handed over a vial of blue medicine.

Morgan, unsuspecting, opened the bottle and downed it in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, a cold smile once again appeared on Charles's lips.

Morgan took a few breaths. "Bring him here! Now! Immediately!"

Mark's actions were dangerous; he himself was willing to burn his sister alive to uphold the Three Laws.

If Mark continues like this, he might soon follow in his sister's footsteps.

Charles, contrary to his usual behavior, spoke up for Mark, saying, "Mark's current status is special, and handling this privately is inappropriate. If a court meeting could be convened to give Mark a chance to defend himself in public, perhaps we could give the people an explanation..."

Mark's hands were cuffed.

Charles said calmly, "General Victor, Captain Mark only did some minor stupid things. A little contribution points will suffice. Why are you making such a big fuss? Do you really want to punish him?"

Qin Song secretly gave a thumbs up.

Little Yellow Hair understands people's hearts.

On the surface, they were trying to exonerate Mark, but in reality, they were putting Mark and Morgan on a precarious position.

With so many high-ranking officials present, wouldn't it make the three principles seem trivial if we handled them with care?

Victor scoffed, "Mark helped the Dust People get heart transplants; that's a grave crime that hinders genetic optimization..."

Charles immediately interrupted, "According to the law, this is indeed a serious crime, but Captain Mark is not an ordinary citizen. He is a hunter commander who has made great contributions to the Lighthouse, and he is also the soon-to-be-in-command of the city. Shouldn't his case be handled as a special case?"

"Then he should set an example even more!"

"I agree with General Victor's statement," many high-ranking officials chimed in.

The three laws are their key tools for maintaining their social hierarchy.

If everyone were truly equal, wouldn't all their hard work to get to this position have been for nothing?

Charles walked up to Victor and said slowly, "So, according to you, we should execute Captain Mark? General, can't you use your brain? Execute Captain Mark, and you can go down and collect supplies, or you can become the next city lord?"

“Times have changed. The environment below is getting worse and worse. We can’t afford to lose another Hunter commander. Moreover, as far as I know, the Hunter personnel reserves are already stretched thin.”

Chapter 62 All Members Assemble

Victor suddenly looked at Qin Song, "Does the Lighthouse really have to stop operating without the Hunters? Don't we still have the Special Forces?"

"The special forces team is relatively small..." Qin Song retorted directly, "You people are fighting like dogs, don't drag me into it."

Jing Nan said in a deep voice, "Currently, there is a severe shortage of hunters with gathering experience, and even fewer who can control heavy-duty structures. Every hunter is extremely valuable."

“Lord of the city, the Lighthouse does need Mark now, but that doesn’t mean he can escape punishment. I suggest that he be removed from all his posts and allowed to remain with the Hunters to atone for his crimes.”

Everyone looked up at Morgan, awaiting his decision.

Morgan looked directly at Mark. "Why?"

Mark took a deep breath. "To live, to truly live!"

Morgan slowly rose, recalling the same words that Red Coco had said before she died more than a decade ago.

"What do you think has kept you alive until today? It's the lighthouse that taught you how to fight and survive. Whether you like it or not, you are a part of the lighthouse!"

Mark stubbornly raised his head. "Corey risked his life to bring back supplies for the lighthouse, but he was injured and couldn't get medical treatment. Professor Elon worked hard all his life, but he was exiled when he got old."

“Those porters do the heaviest work and eat the cheapest food. Even though 4068 made a contribution, he was still beaten.”

"There are still 1225 people. Because giving up one's own life to save a loved one is considered a crime, so as part of the lighthouse, is this how we live? Living like this, what difference is there between us and cold corpses?"

Morgan slowly walked down from the platform. "Do you know how much energy the Lighthouse consumes every minute? You know there are population replenishments after battles, but do you know how many resources it takes to train a single Hunter?"

"You only see the lighthouse abandoning your wounded comrades, but do you know how many Dust People can't even afford insect cakes to treat a seriously wounded Hunter?"

Morgan's voice grew increasingly stern with each step he took, "You think the lighthouse drove those old people to the ground, but do you know how many newborn babies will starve to death by feeding those who have no ability to contribute?"

"The lighthouse can not control reproduction. When the population exceeds the carrying capacity, will you decide which people to abandon?"

Mark was startled; he hadn't expected this outcome.

"Lord City Lord, if that woman can live on the surface, so can we. If we return to the surface, perhaps..."

"She's not even human!"

Morgan's words startled everyone, who immediately recalled Mark's previous revelation of seeing a woman standing on the shoulder of a Devouring Beast.

At the time, everyone thought Mark was hallucinating.

Seeing Morgan's reaction now, it's probably true.

Jessica nudged Qin Song's arm. "Hey, you fly out every day, is it just to find that woman?"

Qin Song smiled and said, "Partly, yes, she's very pretty."

Jessica's eyes lit up. "Do you have a picture of her?"

"You really dare to think like that? Take good care of your pregnancy, or I'll lock you up in a law firm!"

Mark took a few deep breaths, as if he had made up his mind. "Lord, I implore you to grant me permission to travel far away. I will definitely find her."

Jingnan exclaimed, "What? Mark, are you crazy?"

"Captain Mark, think it over!" Charles said flippantly, tilting his head.

Everyone tried to dissuade him.

"The lighthouse is our last home; returning to the surface is just suicide!"

"To me, a lighthouse is more like a tomb."

“You…you will kill everyone…” Morgan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, his vision went black, and he fainted on the steps.

"Lord of the City!" Chaos erupted at the scene.

Qin Song glanced at Charles. He had just treated Morgan a few days ago, so it was impossible for him to suddenly fall ill.
