Chapter 522: The Ruler Who Didn't Exist
Chapter 522
As a god, Su Yuan knew that there was a person in the city, and he ruled the city. But not by sheer force. Rather, it relies on some kind of cognitive modification ability.
But he couldn't find the man. The other party has made his attitude very clear. All the places you can see. But can't look at me.
Since the other party is reluctant to meet. Su Yuan also didn't mean to be strong for the time being. A psychic who can modify cognition and avoid his tracking. Su Yuan was willing to give him a little respect.
He took up residence in the outlying districts. As for the inner city, there is basically no need to go inside. He had already known it when he had gone in and walked around before. The entire inner city is actually under the control of that person. On the contrary, the inhabitants of the periphery are free in thought.
There has never been a three-legged standing, there has always been only one person. A psychic who can modify cognition, a silent ruler who renews the city. Su Yuan even suspected that he had most likely reached an agreement with the Mechanical Legion. Otherwise, why never have automatons attacked here? It is impossible to modify the cognition of those unconscious mechanical beasts.
Life in the city is boring. Most people work unlimitedly, in exchange for a small thing. Scavengers gather a group of people and travel to the ruins of the surrounding cities to find something to use and exchange for things.
Wanderers take it a step further by renting some weapons and heading deeper to hunt down beasts, or low-level automatons. Trade meat and the alloy of the automaton for things.
Mercenaries are the top layer of the periphery. They will be hired by the inner city to go to various areas to spy on information, and most of them will be with mechanical **fire. So most of them are trained, or have reached the level of existence of the Ability.
The elders on the periphery will randomly post various tasks. Completing quests can be exchanged for a variety of resources. But these are too far from the general population.
Ninety percent of women are selling their bodies. Most ordinary people haven't even touched a mecha. I can only take on some work such as cleaning up garbage, or maintaining city walls, buildings, etc. The task is overwhelming, and he barely makes ends meet.
Su Yuan is not dissatisfied with any of the operating models here. These days, he's learned. It has been nearly a century since the world entered the end times. The entire human society has developed a stable set of rules. Everything in front of him, although cruel, undoubtedly ensured that some people survived. It has kept the flame of human civilization. The only thing that made him helpless was that the whole city was filled with a kind of depravity, and decay. There is no such attempt to rebuild civilization at all.
The mechanical civilization outside is developing wildly. The processing plant that Su Yuan saw had countless trackers, and the weapons of war such as hunters were frantically being manufactured and stored. On the human side, there has been no growth. According to general logic, in less than a year, the city will be destroyed. If other cities are the same, they will definitely not last long.
But for some reason, he felt that this situation was not going to happen. There seems to be an invisible pact between humans and the mechanical legions. All kinds of small contradictions broke out on both sides. But there was never any sign of a large-scale war.
During this time, Su Yuan has been busy with one thing. He is investigating the death of Lanya's father.
It's strange, according to the woman. She was originally the daughter of a legion leader who stood tall. But suddenly one day, there was a rebellion in the legion, and her father died. Exiled himself, he lost everything overnight. If it weren't for Su Yuan's sudden appearance, he might have become Nigo's dog. She knew what that guy's attitude was towards women, and that was a pure pervert.
Su Yuan is even stranger. Because by the power of his spiritual authority, he searched the minds of hundreds of people. The cause of Lanya's father's death could not be found. You know, he's a god. Even if there's a hidden one here who can modify cognition. But it's never possible to hide all the information so delicately.
But no matter what, I couldn't find the real reason. It was only known that it was his lieutenant who rebelled and suddenly killed him. Everything was sudden. Whether it's the Legion, the Church, or the Research Center, they're all unusually cooperative. It's as if all this is taken for granted.
Therefore, in the end, Su Yuan could only come up with one result. That is, it was the hidden ruler who killed Lanya's father. I don't know why, but it's no wonder that the other party has discovered some kind of incredible secret. That's how it is played in the movies.
The whole situation is fraught with a kind of oddity. The whole world felt wrong to him. But he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Traversal progress increased to 10 percent. But after that, it hasn't changed. This meant that Su Yuan came into contact with a little truth, but did not make the slightest advance after that.
Su Yuan had a hunch that some of the causes and effects entangled by the mother and daughter around him might be the key to breaking the game. But the faceless guy kept working against him, so he couldn't find the truth.
As a deity, there must have been some differences in the people he chose on the whim of his heart [nameless], and for this reason, he kept the mother and daughter by his side.
Life in the wasteland is boring. Of course, it is relative to people like Su Yuan, who lack nothing. He doesn't work but always has food to do, and he has been noticed and approached.
But soon those people were gone. It didn't take long for the entire periphery to know about him, a bad guy he couldn't mess with.
It is said that he is a strange person, because Su Yuan obviously has some strong strength, but he does not recruit troops. Just with three subordinates, he lived quietly in a house that was neither good nor bad. Of course, there is also an enviable pair of mother and daughter flowers together.
Some people knew about Su Yuan's existence and tried to stay by his side. Because this strange and powerful person doesn't seem to like to be disturbed. As long as someone makes trouble in the neighborhood, they will always be taught a lesson. Gradually, a special mutual aid group was formed around Su Yuan.
They get together and refuse to pay their gains to the gangs. This behavior finally annoyed all the gangs in the entire periphery. Because there are more and more people around Su Yuan. This means that the gang earns less and less.
The established rules are broken. The gang members who rely on their gang backgrounds all day long to intimidate and extort money have lost their source of income. They can't bear to have this unearned life interrupted. Decided to flex your muscles.
Su Yuan got a place to live.
Lanya was asking Su Yuan.
"You don't look like someone who cares about such a thing. Why is this involved? ”
"For me, it doesn't really make much sense, but it makes sense for the city. Those gangs do all kinds of evil. However, to a certain extent, it also maintains the stability of the peripheral order. And I'm going to destroy that stability right away. If he doesn't show up, I'll go into the inner city and do it again. ”
