Chen Ran fantasized about what the Uptown area was like.

But when he stepped into here, he was a little disappointed.

The exact central area, the exact four bridges, the exact same lava, and if not the streets, there are many vendors with open shopfronts......

Of course, these vendors probably opened one small shop after another out of personal interest.

In short, if it weren't for the fact that these people didn't have the slightest indifference on their faces, most of them were enthusiastic after seeing Ye Yuchen, otherwise Chen Ran would suspect that he was still in the lower city area.

The two cities are exactly the same.

"Where will you take me next?" Chen Ran asked.

"North District, City Lord's Mansion."

……

The two didn't talk along the way, Ye Yuchen kept greeting pedestrians, and those passers-by showed a curious look after seeing Chen Ran, but they didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Ye Yuchen, after returning to the Shangcheng area, the whole person became lively, and from time to time he took one or two things from the street vendors, such as some fruits, snacks, toys, etc.

The North End is not long in coming.

In the depths of the North District, a building that is different from the Lower City finally appeared, like a castle, with a gate that was incredibly large enough to accommodate hundreds of people to enter side by side.

Ye Yuchen held the token in his hand, and the guards along the way did not stop him after seeing the token, allowing the two to enter.

This is indeed a castle, a castle that looks like a labyrinth inside, it is not splendid, winding, all kinds of forks in the road, and soon Chen Ran is already dizzy inside, if he is allowed to leave alone at this moment, I am afraid he will not be able to get out.

"Isn't the lord in heaven? And who is the person who wants to see me now? ”

"Acting City Lord. Lord-sama's students, wait and be respectful, otherwise I can't guarantee that you will survive. Remember, you're in the Uptown area. But he is not yet a member of Shinrikyo. ”

Ye Yuchen admonished, stopped behind a gate in the castle, took a few deep breaths, and pushed the gate open.

At the moment when the door was opened, an extremely majestic, but seemingly very weak voice came from inside: "Coming? Come on in. ”

Contrary to Chen Ran's expectations again, this room is not so prosperous. It's spacious, but it's ordinary. There was only one bed, and on the bed, lay an old man who seemed to be fifty or sixty years old.

"Lord Dai, I have already brought you the person you want to see." Ye Yuchen half-knelt on the ground, pulled Chen Ran's trouser legs, and motioned for him to kneel too.

Chen Ran's face suddenly sank, and let Ye Yuchen keep pulling, his feet didn't move, just looking at the acting city lord calmly.

"It's a little guy with backbone." The old man smiled. Turned over and sat up from the bed: "It's late, you know my rules, go get a few whips yourself." Don't waste time, remember to close the door. ”

Ye Yuchen bowed, stood up, bowed and took a few steps back, left the room, closed the door, and then, the old man didn't speak, just looked at Chen Ran. Chen Ran also looked at this most powerful person in the Falling Sky City at the same time, except for the Falling Heaven.

It's weird. The frail old man's body was full of cracks, like a shattered mirror. Other than that, there's nothing peculiar.

With white hair and a white beard, a wrinkled face, he looks like a very ordinary person.

After a long time, the old man coughed twice, and finally spoke: "I remember you, you are one of those young men who were arrested a few days ago. ”

"I haven't seen you." Chen Ran's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and the old man smiled: "You have seen, the teachers of your academy are really strong, and they can burst out of the combat power above the starry sky, but it made me a big heel." ”

Chen Ran's face changed instantly, he looked at the old man in disbelief, and exclaimed, "You are that six-winged mechanical angel!" ”

"Yes and no."

"How is that possible!"

"Nothing is impossible." The old man continued to laugh and said, "How can the Starry Sky Class be so easy to make? The path I have taken comes from a different race, and what humans can't do, I can do. You should know what I'm looking for you for? ”

"Yes, metal comes to life."

The old man nodded: "It's good to know, you can tell me how you did it now." ”

"Why should I tell you?"

The old man's smiling face suddenly sank, and he was very cold. And his eyes were even more terrifying, as majestic as his tone: "You can't refuse me, and you are not qualified to refuse me." ”

"You can't threaten me." Chen Ran had no fear, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, knowing that the old man could kill himself with a raised hand, but he was not afraid: "The entire Truth Cult has invested a lot of time, a lot of resources, and a lot of things that cannot be obtained by life, I don't believe that you will kill me because of some dissatisfaction, this matter should be important." ”

"And this ability should be very useful." Chen Ran took a step, gradually approached the old man, and said as he walked: "What such a huge organization of the Truth Cult has to pursue, it can't be so simple, I'm dead, I'm afraid it may take a long time for you to gain this ability." ”

Unconsciously, Chen Ran had already walked to the edge of the bed, his face very close to the old man.

In his eyes, the old man saw sincerity, saw fearlessness, but did not see nervousness and panic, for such a close distance, the old man did not feel uncomfortable, and asked with a calm face: "Are you not afraid that I am a reckless man?" Will it kill you directly? ”

"I used to be scared." Chen Ran shook his head: "I'm still young and haven't lived enough, but my teacher taught me never to give in even if I face the whole world." The cultivation codex of 'Don't' in the eastern district of Xiacheng tells me that martial artists don't say anything about life and death, so I'm not afraid. ”

"Your teacher is nice, but stupid." The old man put away his anger and smiled again, and he asked curiously: "Teach you like this, aren't you afraid that you will provoke some people you can't provoke, such as me, and then kill you?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Chen Ran also laughed: "I don't know how powerful my teacher is, I haven't seen him make a move, but he told me that there is a teacher in our academy who often troubles him and tells me to stay away from that teacher so as not to be snatched away, so I think my teacher may not be strong." But I know that if I die, he will definitely avenge me. Maybe ten, twenty, thirty years, but he's definitely going to do it. ”

"So confident?"

"Of course, he's a jerk, but he's trustworthy."

The old man sneered sarcastically: "People's hearts are the most unreliable, no matter what, you are sure that I will not kill you, and I will indeed not kill you, but you have a truth cult before, I want to ask you, do you know why the codex replica of 'Don't' appeared in this city?" Do you know what evil is? ”

"Do you think the Human Federation is really just?" (To be continued)
