This person can only be Song Ziyu.

"Who are you? How capable of slaying this spider demon?"

The city lord looked at Song Ziyu with a surprised expression on his face.

Song Ziyu walked up to the city lord, and then asked, "You are the city lord of Night City?"

As he spoke, Song Ziyu began to examine the old man in front of him.

The old man in front of him looked a little embarrassed, covered with the intestinal juice and stomach acid of the spider demon, but he still did not lose his gentle and elegant temperament.

The old man's hair was gray, sparsely covered the top of his head, and was somewhat messy on his forehead and cheeks because of the sticky intestinal fluid.

His eyebrows were thick and slender, and he always revealed a look of worry and thought.

His eyes were deep and bright, with some tiny wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

His skin is somewhat saggy, but still smooth and delicate.

The lord of the castle was wearing a torn black robe covered in stains, but that didn't hide the grace he exuded. No matter how you look at it, this person is not a superior person.

"That's right! I am the Lord of Night City."

The old man spoke slowly, "You can call me Rowan."

"Rowan?"

Song Ziyu frowned: "This is a very common name, shouldn't you be called Di Jun?"

Dijun!

When he heard this name, a gleam suddenly appeared in the gentle city lord's eyes: "Who told you this name?"

"Prophet."

Song Ziyu was not hypocritical, and directly cut the opening straight in.

"Prophet?"

A strange expression appeared on the city lord's face, but then he smiled bitterly, "Since the prophet asked you to come. Then I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, I'm not Dijun...... If I were Lord Teijun, how could I be swallowed by a small spider demon? Aha."

Speaking of this, the city lord actually laughed to himself.

Hearing this, it was Song Ziyu's turn to catch the horse.

"You're not Emperor Jun, so why are you the city lord?"

Song Ziyu asked.

"You're actually not good at it."

The lord of the castle said, "Who told you that Lord Dijun must be the lord of the city? Is that what the prophet told you?"

These words directly silenced Song Ziyu.

With a sigh of relief, Song Ziyu asked again, "So, what is your identity?"

The lord replied, "Since it was the Prophet who brought you to Night City, I might as well tell you that I am actually a caretaker."

"Guarding procedures?"

Song Ziyu was stunned.

The City Lord nodded and said, "Since it was the Prophet who asked you to come, I think you must know some truths about this virtual world...... That's right, I'm actually a caretaker created by Lord Dijun!"

"My mission includes but is not limited to: system monitoring, application monitoring, network monitoring, log management, alerts and notifications, automation tasks, and more."

"The purpose and function of my existence is to manage Night City for Lord Dijun."

Listening to the city lord's unbelievable words, Song Ziyu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this Emperor Jun is also a master who is the shopkeeper."

"Hey, hey, hey." The city lord laughed, "As the creator, it doesn't need to do anything, or it has more important things to do."

"Oh?"

Song Ziyu asked curiously, "What is Di Jun doing?"

"That's not something you should know."

The main road of the city.

At this point, there seems to be no need for the conversation to continue.

Because Song Ziyu found the wrong person.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Ziyu continued to ask, "So, can you tell me where Di Jun is?"

The lord of the city stared at it

Looking into Song Ziyu's eyes, he asked, "Then you come and tell me, what are you going to do with Lord Dijun?"

Song Ziyu said, "What else can I do? Of course, I asked Di Jun to come out of the mountain and replace Xihe."

Song Ziyu's thinking is simple and direct, since Xihe's computer has deteriorated and he can't solve it physically, then he should simply consider reinstalling the system and replacing Xihe.

This sounds a bit ridiculous, but in essence, it seems to be the same as reinstalling a computer.

If Kaspersky and Kingsoft Poison can't kill the virus in your computer, you might as well consider reinstalling the system directly.

Song Ziyu's conversation with the city lord has already touched on the essence of the virtual world.

These words sounded like a book from heaven to Ma Xueqing, Kang En and others.

Everyone watched Song Ziyu talk to the city lord with incredible expressions, and their faces were shocked in addition to doubt.

In the eyes of these deceived souls, they will not believe that they exist in vain in any way.

But that's how fate goes.

Everything in the virtual world is designed.

"That's what you're asking for."

After listening to Song Ziyu's words, the city lord couldn't help but let out a breath of turbidity and said, "These things you said are really not something I can express my attitude to, after all, the level is there...... It seems that you really have to find Lord Dijun to solve the problem in front of you."

As he said this, the lord finally sat up from the ground and began to take care of the filth from his body.

With just a flick of his hand, the clothes on the city lord's body became clean.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Lord Dijun."

The city lord patted his buttocks, and then said to Song Ziyu, "Follow me."

Song Ziyu was overjoyed when he heard this.

I thought that this trip to Night City would be in vain, but I never expected that there would be an unexpected joy.

The lord of the castle seems to be quite familiar with this cave, and he is familiar with walking in the cave.

This made Song Ziyu feel a little curious.

Before Song Ziyu could speak, the city lord explained, "I know what you want to ask, yes, this place is familiar to me, because I often come."

"What is this place?"

Song Ziyu asked.

"This is the terminal area of the virtual world." The lord explained, "All the maps of the virtual world have a passage to connect to this place, and a lot of scrapped data and faulty programs will be dropped here and destroyed...... You can think of this place as a recycle bin or a paper basket in a computer program."

"Recycle Bin?"

Song Ziyu was stunned.

The city lord continued to take care of himself and said, "The souls and programs that enter here will be affected for a certain period of time, gradually going crazy and losing their normal functions, and eventually becoming a garbled code for purging, and the spider demon you just killed is an advanced decomposition program."

"And that kind of thing!"

Song Ziyu was surprised.

The lord explained, "Of course! You should know that the First Machine has ruled this world for quite some time."

"In these long years, countless souls have been born."

"So many souls have nowhere to rest!"

"Even in the virtual world, these souls will lose their last sustenance for various reasons and become lonely ghosts."

"This is the place where these procedures are collected and processed."

"Any human soul who enters this place will go insane within twenty-four hours, go completely insane after three days, and then be captured and devoured by the wild beasts here, and eventually become abandoned excrement."

"Of course, you could have been an accident."

The city lord talked eloquently, and Song Ziyu asked curiously, "So what do you mean when you were swallowed by the spider demon in your stomach just now?"

The city lord smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't forget, in fact, I am also a program and a carrier with a soul...... It's essentially the same as everyone else."

"And what are you doing here in this place?"

Song Ziyu asked.

"That's a good question, actually, I'm also here to find Lord Dijun."

The lord replied.

"Dijun in this place?"

Song Ziyu was surprised.

The city lord whispered, "This is a secret."

The two walked forward while chatting.

Suddenly, the lord of the city stopped and turned around, and then said to the crowd behind him, "Go back, all of you."

"Lord of the City......" Conn and the others had anxious looks on their faces.

"Since you came to look for me, and now that you have found me, go back."

The lord said, "You can't stay in this place for long, for you won't be able to go back if you stay long."

"But, Lord Castle, aren't you in danger?"

Conn asked with concern.

The city lord spoke, "It's okay, with this person by my side, my safety will naturally be guaranteed."

The city lord said so much that he finally persuaded all his subordinates to go back.

Then on the next road, Song Ziyu and the city lord walked together.

After passing through the dark cavern, the world suddenly opens up.

In front of me, a castle covered in ice and snow appeared.

The castle stands on top of a vast white snowfield, as if it were an eternal kingdom of ice and snow.

The architecture of this castle is unique.

The entire castle is made of crystal clear ice bricks, each of which shimmers with a blue glow, as if it were a fragment of a star.

The castle is surrounded by a towering ice wall with various mysterious motifs carved into the walls...... Song Ziyu could see at a glance that those were all mysterious and mysterious runes.

Above the city walls, you can faintly see countless sharp ice picks, which are like soldiers guarding the castle, ready to defend their homes.

"Let's go, this is our final destination." The city lord spoke.

"Dijun here?"

Song Ziyu asked curiously.

The City Lord nodded and said, "That's right! Let's go."

Stepping on the wind and snow, the two soon walked to the front of the castle.

As if sensing the arrival of a guest, the castle opened the city gate directly, and then waited for Song Ziyu to enter in a welcoming manner.

Looking at the open door of Sen Ran's cave, Song Ziyu felt a little chilly.
