In a dusty tavern.

Captain Oss, a squad leader of the Guardian Guards of Zhaocheng City, is known for his greed for money and lust for money, and his penchant for taking credit.

It was customary to sneak into the Rose Inn at midnight every midnight to have a tryst with the proprietress there.

This time was no exception.

It's just that when he pushed open the secret door of the boss's room as usual this time and was about to pounce on him, what he saw was a sharp dagger on his neck.

The next day, the owner of the tavern dragged his body out and dumped it on the side path.

In troubled times, no one cares about the cause of death of a corpse anymore, not to mention, the corpse seems to have just died a normal death due to too much drinking.

......

"Like...... Yesterday's little guy just went to Entrance 3. This time, I think I can make him the captain. ”

In an office covered with woolen carpets and bookcases full of books, the city guard sat behind his desk and closed his eyes. He had just learned that the captain of the original third entrance had died unexpectedly, and at this time, he promoted Oliver to the rank of official without care.

"You mean...... But, that guy had only been a guard for a day......" his assistant stood at the table, his tone embarrassed, and an imperceptible flash of jealousy.

The Zhaocheng City Guard didn't look at him, and while playing with a glass of crystal water, he said casually, seemingly casually: "Why don't I know...... Zhaocheng has an extra rule that the longer you are in the job, the higher your position?"

"I understand, sir..."The assistant immediately understood what the superior leader meant, and said with some trepidation.

"Go ahead, by the way, help me clean up the officer I was tested before. ”

"Yes. ”

The assistant was stunned, then nodded again and again, and walked out of the office with a solemn expression.

......

"Now you're the head of these soldiers. The assistant came to Entrance Three, informed Oliver of the appointment notice, then looked at the non-commissioned officers around him, and whispered, "If I were you, I would teach these subordinates a lesson first." ”

Most of the nine soldiers standing not far away showed their reluctance and jealousy, they never imagined that this novice, who had just entered the company for less than a day and was still despised by them, would suddenly become their top boss.

"I will. Oliver nodded silently with a calm expression as he secretly slipped a box of canned beef gold into his assistant's worn-out pocket.

That's Oliver's way of doing things.

"Boy, I'm very optimistic about you. The assistant left satisfied.

He finally knew why the city guard was paying attention to the newcomer.

......

On the other side, inside the Devotion House of the Blood City.

Lin Yetian looked at the two rows of soldiers whose faces were painted by pandas on the screen, and looked a little bored:

"Hey, I said, you are so motionless and pitiful, others will think I have bullied you when they see it. ”

The only ones who responded to him were the two rows of soldiers who continued to remain motionless.

If you can't make a plan, you will start again.

Seeing that no one answered, Lin Yetian raised his eyebrows, coughed twice, and silently said aloud as he walked:

"It's so boring that you don't talk, let's play a little game......! How about one, two, three, wooden people!?"

Knowing that he didn't respond to him, Lin Yetian still continued to take care of himself: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, then I should agree...... Ahem, the game begins! Whoever moves loses first!"

Lin Yetian said and spoke, and then he also learned to stand motionless in two rows of soldiers, standing silently like a tree.

Less than three seconds.

A mutilated fly with only half a wing left trembled slightly and landed on the white forehead of the motionless Lin Yetian, patted his head and flew away.

Lin Yetian was furious, and a fierce hand flicked the fly away, and it was at this moment that he found that it seemed as if he had lost.

Lin Yetian's eyelids jumped, and after being silent for a while, he looked at one of the passers-by with a heavy face, and the soldier slowly spoke:

"I'm sorry, I lost. It's not because of my hands, but because I'm ...... for you."

Good...... It's so spicy......

Lin Yetian's incomprehensible series of operations successfully touched one of the motionless soldiers, who finally couldn't stand Lin Yetian's mental pollution and leaned against the wall and made retching movements.

Lin Yetian smirked.

Just when he was beaming with pride, his eyes suddenly saw Xue Muyan, who had just finished settling the contribution points, silently stiffening in place.

Well......

Lin Yetian's eyes froze.

"I didn't see anything, you continue to ......"

Xue Muyan was silent for a moment, then swept past Lin Yetian's side with a complicated expression, and walked out of the door silently with Meng Ping.

Meng Ping passed by Lin Yetian with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Don't get me wrong...... I just wanted to say it to you, but I accidentally found the wrong person, and it seems like ......"

Lin Yetian followed cheekily without any burden in his heart, looked at Xue Muyan, who didn't have anything more on his body, and then changed the topic a little strangely:

"Xiaoyan, what about your contribution points?"

"It's already loaded into my identity token. ”

"Oh. Lin Yetian casually agreed, he looked at his token, which had been sharpened into a small knife, and still didn't ask when his super double would arrive.

Looking at Xue Muyan's calm expression, Lin Yetian felt a little uneasy in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still explained:

"What's that...... I was really just kidding......"

"I know. ”

"Huh. Lin Yetian glanced at Xue Muyan strangely: "You believe me so much?"

"If it were a woman, you would have been beaten by now. Xue Muyan said casually.

Lin Yetian blinked his eyes in response.

The figures of several people slowly walked out of the gate of the dedication center, and as the figures gradually moved away, the soldiers who had been standing still and the waitresses who served gradually reacted.

The lady-in-waiting silently retreated to the left side of the throne at the end of the red carpet, stretched out her right hand, which had been calloused for countless years, and pressed a tiny switch on the top left of the throne.

At the same time, as the button was pressed, the soldiers on both sides took a small step back in a neat and orderly manner, and then took two large steps forward in a row, as if they had stepped on some switch.

Immediately after, the wall behind the throne rumbled into a black hole, an unfathomable chamber. At the end of the chamber, the darkness that could not be seen obscured the scene inside, and whispering voices echoed quietly in the darkness.

"My lord, the blue token has appeared. ”

"Really...... It's finally a clue...... It's time to put an end to all these years......"

"My lord, what's next...... Please instruct. ”

"Wait and see. Remember, a good writer doesn't have to be a good author, and a good beginning doesn't have to end well. What the future holds, no one knows. Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, that's all. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

......

"You're still there?"

Walking out of the dedication center, Lin Yetian looked at the city guard officer standing with his hands in surprise.

"I said, you're also a city guard officer, why don't you do something serious and stay here every day?"

The city guard officer smiled kindly and said embarrassedly:

"Entrusted by the ancient adults, the little ones dare not serve several adults......"

The city guard officer smiled very embarrassedly, after all, he was also a figure with a head and a face in this central camp, but now because of the words of the ancient griffin, he instantly became a subordinate.

"Oh so. Lin Yetian nodded, turned his head and asked:

"Xiaoyan, where should we go now?"

"Go to the central camp and get our accommodation assigned to tidy up. ”

"And a place to live...... What about mine. ”

Lin Yetian stared at the mutilated token in his hand and said a little unhappily.

"With me. Xue Muyan said lightly.

These subtle and casual words drilled into Lin Yetian's ears with the wind, but made the latter's eyes widen slightly with the words:

"You mean ......"

"What's wrong?what's the problem?" Xue Muyan looked at Lin Yetian with some strange eyes.

"What do we call cohabitation?" Lin Yetian scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Well...... Well?

Xue Muyan's face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her gaze as she looked at Lin Yetian also became cringe.

The sky can be seen, she didn't think about that direction originally, but Lin Yetian's words made her thoughts go astray in an instant.

"Same, cohabitation, you are big, just live together temporarily, whether it is good or not, count, not cohabitation......"

Xue Muyan stumbled and said, her red-faced appearance and her usual wisdom and calmness were like two people.

"Oh well, that's it...... It's just a temporary stay together......" Lin Yetian said deliberately without interest, causing Xue Muyan to grit her teeth.

The street at the exit was bright and dark, and the faintly flickering street lights had been turned off, and it was already daylight.

Although it was daytime, for safety reasons, the only place to really see the natural sunlight was in the middle of the three cities, and that was what all civilians craved.

Elsewhere, well-off civilians would choose to use the mirror's refraction to get a glimmer of sunlight to make them feel alive.

At this moment, the city guard officer honestly walked in front and silently led the way, and there was a faint cheer on the black and dim street not far away.

"What's going on over there?" Xue Muyan was a little strange.

"It should be the surviving Doomsday fighters from this operation who have returned, and civilians are lining up to welcome them. The city guard explained.

"Do you want to see it?"

"Okay, it's not going to happen right now, anyway. ”

Lin Yetian nodded, and a few people followed the steps of the city guard officer and approached.

In a burst of dilapidated bungalows, hundreds of ragged civilians looked at the doomsday warriors returning from afar, and collectively cheered and cheered as if they were happy:

"Our hero is back!"

"Come on, come on, we still have hope!"

"Ahh

In the dense crowd, cheers and exclamations came and went, for them civilians, this is a rare opportunity to vent their emotions at this moment, and the rest of the time they often stay in the dilapidated and cramped bungalows worrying about tomorrow's food and livelihood.

"Why are they so excited...... It stands to reason that the Doomsday Warrior suffered heavy losses this time, and the food he got was not too much, and most of it was to supply the upper rulers, so why did he seem so happy?" Meng Ping was a little strange.

"Indeed, most of the hard-earned food of the Doomsday Warriors was confiscated by the nobility. But for these civilians, even if the food they receive is just a bowl of hot soup that can warm their stomachs, it is enough for them to have something to look forward to in this apocalypse. Xue Muyan muttered:

Perhaps, sometimes, it is more painful to live than to die. ”

Lin Yetian stared at the smiling civilians and did not speak.

Looking into the distance, a rusty chariot slowly drove through the crowd, and the captains of dozens of squads sat on the chariot and kept waving to the surrounding people.

Behind them, countless doomsday warriors with bloodied clothes staggered slowly on a road that the civilians had left behind, enjoying this rare and peaceful time.

The sense of oppression brought to them by this fight outside was too great, and one second several comrades-in-arms were still talking about their future life ideas, full of hope, and the next second, a huge sharp blade cut them off alive......

And the remaining doomsday warriors could only watch as their former comrades were only half left and fell to the ground, losing their lives in agony......

"Ahh

A high-pitched female cry erupted in the dense crowd, followed by a noisy crowd.

On the high platform, Lin Yetian looked at the situation below suspiciously, but saw that a doomsday warrior in the forward team casually grabbed a young woman on the side of the road on both sides, hugged her in his arms, and at the same time smiled and stretched out his thick palm into the woman's tattered clothes and rubbed it wantonly.

"This scumbag ......" Xue Muyan's face instantly turned cold, she didn't expect that someone on the street would dare to do such a thing in the eyes of so many people.

The murderous aura in his eyes suddenly rose, and he stared at the man deadly.

"My lord, calm down, calm down, how do you look at the woman's expression again?" the city guard officer continued to persuade, successfully making Xue Muyan's gaze shift to the woman's face.

The ragged woman was slightly surprised at first by the sudden attack of this big hand, and then soon a happy look appeared on her face, ignoring the gaze of countless people, twisted her waist and stuck it with her body like a coquettish, eager to take the big hand for herself.

Xue Muyan looked at this scene with some astonishment, and the woman's reaction was a little unexpected.

"This is the end of the world, my lord. If a weak woman who is not a doomsday warrior wants to live, selling her body may be the quickest way to do it. ”

The city guard officer said with some disdain: "And looking at this woman's posture, it shouldn't be a bit of a thing to encounter this kind of thing." This time, she was lucky that she didn't have to sacrifice her body for a bowl of paste and hooked up with a doomsday warrior...... At least a piece of minced meat is quite possible. ”

"It's her own choice. In the air of the church, there was a substantial amount of blood in the red hall, and the dense corpses were piled up in the church, close to a mountain, and the fishy corpses formed a huge tide of corpses.

In addition, there were even a few who were not completely dead, and the faint breath still came and went in the quiet church for a moment.

When some believers saw this scene, they vomited it directly, and the leftover clear soup and rice porridge they ate yesterday spit out on the ground, and they couldn't speak for a long time looking at the scene of this broken statue.

"They...... They make food from the living!" a doomsday warrior shouted in disbelief!

As soon as the words came out, the audience was instantly shocked.

The believers looked at the broken idol in disbelief, almost believing that it was real, but all the corpses in front of them did not appear to be a purgatory!

In the red hall, the blood seemed to be more and more condensed.

"How...... How is this happening...... Isn't this the temple of the Lord of Light......"

"Statue of the Lord of Light...... Why...... Why is it full of corpses?"

"Who will tell me it's not true......"

Several believers muttered to themselves, watching in a low voice as the scene in front of them was close to collapse, at a time when even the most fanatical believers did not know what to do in the face of this scene.

They never imagined that this Church of Light, which was shining brightly and saving the common people and the midst of fire and water, would actually do something to use the living as a reserve ration!

In fact, some of these believers present had eaten the flesh of the dead, which was a helpless move, but they still couldn't do it if they were to devour the living!

_The smell of blood was permeating, and the smell of decay of corpses mixed with a strong smell of blood permeated.

The cardinal looked at the scene that had gotten out of control, couldn't stop trembling, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and sneakily turned around and ran towards a hidden secret door like oil on the soles of his feet!

"He's going to run! Catch him!" a doomsday warrior spotted the cardinal, who was about to slip away, and the latter ran wildly, crawling towards the exit of the small door.

"It's almost there, it's almost there! I can run away just by passing through this door!" said the cardinal, with a frantic look of joy.

Just as the door was less than a foot away from him, he suddenly bumped into a towering figure, and even knocked his cardinal's hat to the side.

"Fuck! What thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to stand in the way of Lao Tzu!?" Even in the midst of the fugitives, the cardinal's arrogant posture still did not restrain at all.

"Oh, Bishop Ge's temper seems to be ...... today A little hot?" A familiar word came.

The cardinal looked up sharply, and it was none other than Nie Xiao, the city guard officer of Zhaocheng!

"Nie ...... Chief Nie...... What wind is blowing you here......" The cardinal sneered as he silently took a few steps back, his eyes full of jealousy.

The other party is the city guard officer of Zhaocheng, and neither his identity nor strength can be resisted by him. What's more, although this person usually seems to be very kind, he knows that if he really annoys Nie Xiao, then the next day, his little cardinal, will instantly evaporate from the world!

Bishop Ge...... What's going on here?" the city guard officer looked at the flesh around him, and then silently stopped his gaze on the sculpture of the corpse.

"It's ......"

"Hey, when did you come here, Yetian!" Behind the city guard officer, Xue Muyan trotted over to Lin Yetian's side and stopped at it, carefully examining the obvious wounds before she said to the latter as if complaining.

"I was in a hurry to urinate just now, and I came here to pee, and then I accidentally saw that there were a lot of corpses in here, all of them were ......," Lin Yetian said casually.

"Fool you. Xue Muyan rolled her eyes helplessly, seeing that Lin Yetian was not injured, and then temporarily left him, covered her jade nose, and cautiously walked to the side of the sculpture, frowning to check the condition of these corpses.

The corpses of these civilians deeply shocked Xue Muyan, it was not that she had never seen dead people, but so many corpses were piled up into mountains to store food, I am afraid that few people could stand such a scene!

"Most of the bodies were civilians, men, women, old and young, and a few of them didn't seem to be completely dead. A few others may be aristocrats, well-dressed and healthy, and some have such a thing as a beer belly. ”

"In addition to this, an examination of the wounds of these people shows that they probably died for no more than a week, and most likely not even more than three days. Moreover, the wounds of these people, without exception, were all caused with knives, and there were obvious thought marks, and there were several corpses that appeared to have some stitches on the left chest......"

Xue Muyan's insight seemed to have improved, and the analysis of these corpses had been completed in an instant.

"This ...... He didn't know what he did, and he broke the statue of the Lord of Light in half!

The cardinal never mentioned the corpses, but preemptively accused Lin Yetian of destroying the sculpture of the Lord of Light.

"I'm not asking this, I'm asking you what's going on with those corpses! Did you do this!" the city guard was not stupid enough to be diverted by the cardinal, and opened his mouth a little angrily.

Even as a city guard officer, he didn't know how many living people he had killed in the past days. But that's because those people broke the law and had to die. He had never thought of slaughtering the living and making meat as he did now!

Heaven is intolerable,

However, if this kind of thing happens inside Zhaocheng, he, as the lord of the city, also has to have a certain responsibility.

"Corpse...... Corpse...... He destroyed the statue of the Lord of Light, causing the Lord of Light to kill!"

The cardinal laughed out loud with a maniacian expression, and then looked at Lin Yetian viciously and shouted:

"You evil demon! Why don't you quickly ask the city guard for your guilt! If you didn't have the city guard, I'm afraid you would have been possessed by the demon a long time ago......! The Lord of Light will send you to the eighteen layers of hell!"

At this time, the cardinal is still trying to shirk responsibility. He knew that if he had anything to do with eating the living, then he would be completely dead.

Lin Yetian looked at the city guard officer, and the city guard officer also looked at Lin Yetian. The two looked at each other for three seconds.

The city guard officer suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head and bowed: "Junior Nie Xiao, I have seen Lord Yetian!"

There was silence.
