Chapter 287: Chill
At this moment, there was a cry at the end of the alley ahead, and a citizen of the city was crying in the street with a sick child in his arms, begging a good person who passed by to give him a little spirit stone, so that he could have a spirit stone to treat the child.
Jiang Xing recognized the child, when Jiang Xing saw an innocent child with bright eyes among the many slaves in the slave market, he couldn't help but feel pity, so he bought it together with the child's father.
After the father and son came to Kowloon City, Jiang Xing not only gave them a place to live, but also gave them a job quenching ore, so that they could have no worries about food and clothing.
It's just a pity that they don't seem to be doing well at the moment, and they can't even get some money for treatment.
Seeing this child, Jiang Xing seemed to see hope all of a sudden, and he came to the child, looked at the child's gloomy eyes that had lost their luster due to illness, and said, "Do you know the city lord Jiang Xing, what kind of person is he in your heart?"
The child was obviously stunned, and said in amazement: "You ask me?"
Jiang Xing said very seriously: "Yes, they all say that children are innocent, so I asked you!"
The child nodded and said, "Yes, of course I know!"
"And what do you think of him as a person?"
"He's an amazing hero!" the child gave a thumbs up excitedly, "He saved countless slaves and gave them a good life!"
Jiang Xing's originally gloomy eyes instantly ignited with a scorching look!
There are still people who understand him!
"Then now that Kowloon City is spread by death, and the city lord can't do anything, do you hate him, want to kill them?" Wei Xuanji asked.
The child said: "I have lived in Kowloon City for two years, and these two years have been my happiest days! If it hadn't been for the city lord who rescued me from the slave master, I'm afraid I would have died under the slave owner's whip without even knowing that this world was so beautiful! Now even if I die, I am grateful to the city lord!"
After the child said this, Jiang Xing's tears were about to flow down, it turned out that his efforts were not unrewarded! But the child's father said, "What do you know at a young age?"
The child said, "Why don't I understand? Am I wrong? If it weren't for him, our father and son would have survived to this day?"
The middle-aged man said to Jiang Xing with a stiff neck: "Young man, I advise you not to listen to my child's words to be grateful to the city lord, my son is still young and doesn't know how to be good or bad!"
Jiang Cheng immediately liked this child very much, he stepped forward and touched the child's head, and said, "You and I are both children, but I am older than you, so I will recognize you as my younger brother!"
The child called out timidly to his brother.
Jiang Xing's heart was extremely cold, and he asked the middle-aged man: "Why do you hate the city lord so much?"
The middle-aged man said: "Did your parents tell you that if it weren't for the city lord's lack of strength to protect us, our life wouldn't be the way it is now?" As soon as these words came out, the other people in the alley echoed it, and they all counted Jiang Xing's no.
The more Jiang Xing listened, the colder his heart became, colder than the bone-chilling wind! Finally, Jiang Xing, who couldn't listen anymore, walked up to the middle-aged man, took out a hundred spirit stones and handed them to the child's father, and said, "These spirit stones will cure the child!"
"Thank you!" The child's father didn't expect that there would be such a generous person, so he couldn't help but look at Jiang Xing carefully.
At this glance, he suddenly showed a look of surprise!
The hand that stretched out to receive the spirit stone retracted.
"Are you the city lord?" the middle-aged man recognized Jiang Xing.
"Yes. Jiang Xing said.
"Get out, I don't need your blood-soaked money!" The middle-aged man knocked out the spirit stone in Jiang Xing's hand.
Jiang Xing's heart hurt again, and it really began to bleed. He really didn't know that his reputation was so bad, he thought that he had given protection to many people, would be worshiped as a savior, and would be grateful by many people, but now he really doubted whether he was wrong.
He smiled bitterly: "Do you hate me so much that you don't even want the child's life?"
Just when Jiang Xing was in despair, he heard Jiang Cheng's exclamation, "Father, this child is sick because a very strange force has invaded his body!"
Jiang Xing walked up to the child, stretched out his hand to check the child's pulse, and found that there was an extremely obscure and evil force in the child's body, and it was fighting with another force in the child's body!
Among them, the power of invasion is a kind of emotional power with extremely strong hatred, and those who infect this power must hate the world with hatred!
However, the innate power in the child's body is the opposite of this immeasurable, the power is extremely bright, as warm as the sun.
Jiang Xing couldn't help but sigh, this kid was born with extraordinary talents, and he was born with a strength that is not weak!
"Father, I suspect that the incomprehensibility of the city's madness is very likely to have something to do with the power that invaded this child's body! This power is so obscure that if it weren't for the power of light in this child's body, we wouldn't have discovered the existence of this power!"
Jiang Cheng said to Jiang Xing with a look of surprise on his face.
As soon as Jiang Xing heard the power of hatred, he immediately thought of the relic that the spirit bead gave him!
Buddhist relics are specialized in overcoming this kind of evil power!
Soon, a plan to save the people of the whole city was born in Jiang Xing's mind.
On the second day, a bronze lamp was shelved on the Star Tower, the tallest in the center of Kowloon City!
Under this ten thousand feet of Buddha light, the hearts of the city people, polluted by the power of hatred, were illuminated by the warm Buddha light!
"Oh my God! What have I done these days! I actually took revenge and insulted the city lord!"
"Oh my God! I'm going to smash the city lord with an egg! I'm going to the gate of the city lord's mansion to atone for my sins!"
The citizens who have returned to normal are shouting in the sky!
At noon, hundreds of people knelt at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and prayed loudly for Jiang Xing, who finally shed tears of relief at this time.
His kindness was never in vain!
The people of the city are just being swayed by the forces of evil.
Jiang Xing, who had regained his confidence, had a much clearer mind, and soon had a rough plan in his heart on how to capture the mysterious monster or person.
He immediately convened a meeting to discuss with Wei Xuanji and other high-level officials how to find out the murderer who infiltrated the city.
Moreover, in this meeting, he wants to have a showdown with everyone and show everyone the true strength of Kowloon City! Let them know how powerful Kowloon City is!
When Xiaoshuang, Ah Li and the others saw a Dawn Legion soldier wearing thick armor standing behind Jiang Xing, they all wondered for a while, speculating why Jiang Xing let an ordinary soldier appear in a confidential meeting like today.
Today's meeting is about the life and death of Kowloon City!
Everyone here is the most loyal in Kowloon City, and he is also the most powerful person in Kowloon City, and the presence of this ordinary soldier here makes the atmosphere of the whole meeting seem a little abnormal.
As for Jiang Cheng and Wei Xuanji, who already knew the truth about the Dawn Legion, as soon as the two of them saw the Dawn Legion's war beast warrior, they immediately understood Jiang Xing's purpose for convening this meeting.
Jiang Xing is about to uncover the true face of the Dawn Legion!
And this true face is a foreshadowing to find out the plan of the mysterious murderer!
In fact, the two of them had already thought of this way to save Kowloon City, but they had not used this method in order to protect that all the soldiers of the Dawn Legion were not human but a kind of secret of life created by the mother nest.
Sure enough, Jiang Xing stood straight in front of the conference table, his body was as straight as a straight javelin, he pressed his hands on the conference table, looked down on everyone like a majestic tiger, and said loudly to everyone: "All along, I have been hiding one thing from you, that is, the existence of the brood!"
After speaking, he pointed to the Dawn Legion soldiers wearing thick armor behind him and said, "We have eight hundred Dawn Warriors in Kowloon City so far, but I know that you are all curious about where they came from?
When Ah Li, Xiao Fan, Shao Zeng and others saw Jiang Xing say this, they naturally knew that Jiang Xing wanted to solve their mystery, and they all looked at Jiang Xing with wide eyes with curiosity.
With that, Jiang Xing ordered the Dawn Warriors to take off their armor.
As the Dawn Warriors took off their armor one by one, a humanoid monster with dark green skin and thick scale armor appeared in front of everyone!
It's not human!
This was the first reaction of the crowd!
Although the "person" in front of him is ninety percent similar to a person in any part of his body, the "person" in front of him seems to have been transformed by others, and has made up for all the weaknesses of the human body by various means!
For example, one of the human weaknesses, the soft abdomen. But the abdomen of this "person" in front of him is covered with pieces of extremely hard scale armor!
The curious Ah Liang stepped forward and tried it, but the knife and gun were not knives!
For example, the second human weakness is the head. The head of this "person" in front of him is also covered with a thick layer of tough carapace with a metallic luster!
Ah Li can't smash a hammer!
"I'm sure you've already guessed the answer! Yes, all Legion of Dawn soldiers are not human. They're warriors created by the brood! I named them War Beasts!"
When it comes to the mother nest, everyone thinks of the forbidden place in Kowloon City, Qiling Mountain!
Since Qiling Mountain was designated as a forbidden place by Jiang Xing, the people of Kowloon City have never been to Qiling Mountain again. And the earth-shattering roars that often come from Qiling Mountain have already touched their hearts.
"As we all know, the mysterious murderer who infiltrates Kowloon City likes to possess people and kill people the most. But once that thing possesses the beast, the mutilated soul in the beast's body will die as a result, and the brood will immediately find out that a beast has died. At that time, no matter how much that thing manipulates the corpse of the dead war beast, it will not be able to fool the brood! We can now just replace the human guards in the city with the war beast legion and wait for that thing to take the bait! In addition, I will make the brood establish a spiritual connection with everyone here, once something possesses the war beast, we can know where the murderer is through the spirit link of the brood! In this way, we can find it out immediately!"
"Good!" everyone praised in unison.
The next day, the Kowloon City higher-ups issued an order that in order to prevent further people from being killed, ten times the number of guards would be used to guard every corner of Kowloon City.
As soon as the order was given, there was almost one guard every ten steps in the streets and alleys, and the streets were full of guards!
