Chapter 729 Chapter 727 "Su Rin's wild knife."

   "Xiao...Xiaomei! Are you here to save your father?"

   The fat man's eyes lit up. His daughter would not rebel against him since she was a child, whether it was to be a warbler of the night, or to be sold in the end. She will be obedient.

  Xiaomei approached, and the man realized that something was wrong.

   The daughter in front of him was a little unfamiliar—she no longer wore revealing dresses and high heels, but thick padded jackets and military boots, her hair neatly tied up, just like those white-collar workers he could not see on the TV screen.

  A hideous-looking robotic arm was wrapped around her hand, covering her smooth skin, and the icy steel concealed enormous power.

   "Daughter...daughter?" he said.

   A team of soldiers to protect her followed Xiaomei. She stared at the man for a while and said:

   "Pull him up."

  The soldiers stepped forward and pulled up the fat man who had no strength. The fat man rubbed his hands expectantly: "Xiaomei, are you here to pick up Dad and live a good life?"

   Such beautiful clothes must have been given to her by the noble man who bought Xiaomei. If he could be brought into town too, he wouldn't be in this **** area...

  Xiaomei stared at him.

   "I should thank you for selling me," she said.

   "No need to thank me, I won't do this in the future..." The fat man was delighted in his heart, and it seemed that Xiaomei still had feelings for him.

"After leaving the fringe area, I have gained a lot of things." Xiaomei interrupted him: "I have also touched many... hobbies that I have never touched before. For example, planting some daisies, listening to some radio broadcasts. Listening to those When the anchor was chatting, I realized that the world is so big, that history is so interesting, that a girl like me... shouldn't have been sold by my father."

   In the past, her vision was limited and she didn't understand what resistance was.

but now…

   There is a very good person who suddenly appeared in her life, out of reach, and brought her life-changing sunshine.

   "So..." Xiaomei stared at the man's eyes: "I have never had the obligation to back down to you."

   The fat man turned pale.

   "You can't..." He still wanted to keep it.

   "I have no reason to recognize a man who sold me as a father." Xiaomei said, "Throw him back."

   On her shoulder, the white cat let out a lazily "meow" and rubbed her face. Her mood was not as calm as she appeared to be, she was having a fierce ideological struggle, and she was also afraid.

  Today...is the first step for her to say goodbye to her weak self.

   She will not back down.

   will not be weak.

  Only by standing up...can you be qualified to approach the light.

   "Boom!" The fat man was thrown back and smashed into the rubble. Xiaomei turned to leave.

   Her legs were still shaking.

   But she took a step forward without stopping.

  …

  【Edge Zone · Warband】

  In the dark alley, a man hung his head down and smoked.

   "Huh..." White smoke floated up, a deep blue-gray was squeezed under his eyes, and the chip on the back of his neck flashed a dangerous orange light.

   "Brother, are you still decadent?" Luo asked him outside the alley.

  The man didn't say a word, just lowered his head and drank.

   "Well, I can't control you." Luo said: "You have the qualifications to grieve, but please give me the leader of the chapter. If you don't want to face the remaining companions, I will lead them."

  Che Kelsia raised his head. There was a drunken mist in his eyes.

   "I'm sorry..." Che said.

  “…”

   "I'm sorry... I'm sorry." Che kept saying.

   He was shaking constantly, and the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground.

   "...don't say sorry." Luo said: "It wasn't you who caused the death of the Kaiusta Chapter. It was their malice and ambition against the city master that made them eager to win Kaiusta's victory.

   is the fate of the people on the fringes - to kill themselves. "

   She stepped forward and poured a basin of cold water that had been prepared on Che's body.

  Under his wet black hair, Che's red pupils were like flames that were suddenly extinguished, and he gradually woke up.

  …

  【It's the fate of the people in the fringe - to kill themselves. 】

  …

   He still thought he was at fault.

  If you can subtly change people's perceptions, let the chapter group not be so hostile to the city lord. Or when Luvis came to the Chapter on the first day, let everyone in the Chapter give up entering Kaiusta... Will everything be different?

  If they were from the beginning, hatred against the city lord would not hold the chapter together. Isn't it... now he's not alone?

   His ancestor... Sen Kelstia, who was so dazzling in the battle of dawn, led the beacon army to defeat the camp of the gods. His father, Cheng Kelstia, devoted his life as a laboratory assistant to the city master.

   And he…

   Maybe we should do something for this city-state.

   If you can do this, you can protect more friends…

   "Is there any place that needs me?" Che said.

"any."

  Lo turned around.

   As she passed the street, she heard a young couple arguing.

   "—You have to join the army, right? Can't you stay with me? Obviously we just bought the diamond ring..." The girl grabbed the boy's collar.

   "-Dear, you can buy a diamond ring again, there is only one chance to make a contribution, I want to take you to live in a better area..." the boy explained.

   "—I don't want, I just want you to give me a diamond ring now, don't go..."

  “…”

  Luo sighed.

   She carried the long sword with the blue electric light lingering on her back and walked towards the block.

  …

  【World's Edge】

   "Sigh!"

  Golden light flashed, and Su Rin appeared at the edge of the world. He looked at the large power station beside him.

   The structure of the energy station is similar to that of a factory, and there is liquid energy inside. There are a total of 1,600 energy stations around the world. Today, black mist pours in through the edge of the world, liquid energy is polluted, and half of the power stations go dormant.

   At this time, no trucks have arrived.

  Su Rin faced the edge of the world where the black mist was constantly pouring out, holding a long knife - this knife was a piece of red-level equipment that Su Mingan just gave him, produced by his Weijun.

  Su Ming'an named this knife "Wild Sword". Su Rin didn't understand what it meant. He guessed that "Wild" might be the name of a hero in the legend of Zhai Xing, which was the same as the "Sword of Yarman".

  Su Rin stared at the edge of the world and thought for a moment.

   "Then, the most suitable task for me is actually..."

   Lean forward.

   He fell into it.

  …

  【Keusta】

   The two-hour rest period ends.

  Su Mingan opened his eyes, he suddenly found that this time he did not wake up in the underground hibernation cabin.

  【71 Years of Catastrophe】, AI Yeya showed the time.

   It has been 6 years since the last time he left. There is only one year left until the end of Kaiusta.

  Su Mingan looked around. This was a large dungeon, with hundreds of people locked in the iron prison.

   He didn’t possess anyone—because he was using his own body now. He called up the system mirror—it was his own black hair and black eyes in the mirror, not Aktor's face. His location should have been randomly placed, and many prisoners looked at him suddenly appearing in horror.

Around   , some prisoners were hitting the iron cage, smashing their heads and bleeding, as if they were resisting something with their bodies.

   "I might as well die..." Someone whispered.

   "Please, let me die..." Someone wailed hoarsely.

  Su Mingan propped up the space domain. He observed for a while on the spot and found that the mental condition of these prisoners was very poor. After he disappeared, people mistook him for hallucinations as if they had not seen him.

   There were prisoners being executed in the distance, and the sound of whips and screams could not be stopped.

   Quarrel, abuse, self-talk, despair, numbness... Many prisoners looked up blankly, looking at the corner window on the wall - at the end of their line of sight, there was a sculpture.

  Su Mingan followed their line of sight.

  Outside the iron window, far away, there is a sculpture standing in the square. Every inch of the young man was carved with great care, the shape of his eyes was firmly drawn, and the lines of his lips rose, as if showing a smile to everyone.

  —that's Asa Aktor's stone statue. From the hands of the former deputy city lord Su Xiaobi.

   However, compared to six years ago, there are no flowers sent by the people at the feet of the stone sculpture, and a layer of dust has accumulated on the face, which has not been cleaned for a long time, just like... abandoned by the world.

Su Ming'an stared blankly at the distant stone statue, his heart seemed to have been tapped faintly, dull, for a moment, he thought it was the emotional empathy brought by Akto's body, which made him a little sad, but he quickly realized this. is his own body.

  …These 6 years,

In the end what happened?

   He covered the hidden realm of space, left the underground prison, and came to the surface.

  This is Doomsday City. The buildings in the city are much taller than six years ago. The red beetle-like plaques are spread on the walls, and there is no unique and beautiful glass color.

  The road is planned horizontally and vertically, full of reinforced concrete, it looks too cold and hard, and there is no trace of soft soil. Even the passing residents bowed their heads and did not smile.

   At the beacon gathering place, people held sweet potato porridge to keep warm. The warm humanistic feeling has disappeared, only the cold machinery is left.

   When Su Mingan saw this scene, he even thought he had come to the wrong world.

  He used his watch to hack into the information system and obtained the 6-year history.

  …

  【Tavi executive officer - Asa Akto】

  …

The term    appears repeatedly in history.

   All sorts of nasty diatribes came out one after another. Words like "traitor," "liar," and "lacking dog" piled up like rolling waves — all heading towards the same name.

   Asa Aktor.

  Su Ming'an's pupils shrank - he did not expect that in the past six years, Akto did not die, but still ruled over all human beings as the city lord.

   in the perspective of the inhabitants. In the past 6 years, their city lord has become more and more brutal, indifferent, and ruthless. He calls himself "Hewei Executive", exercises severe ideological rule, and actively becomes a lackey of [Hewei], enjoying the gift of [Hewei]. resources, and give these resources to the masses miserably.

  The laws of the city-state became stricter, and the leadership became colder. Residents were overwhelmed.

   It’s not that no one tried to fight against Akto. However, some people were defeated, some died, some were discouraged and gave up resistance, and some disappeared forever…

  Someone used the underground information network to predict Akto's deployment and tentatively fought back, but it always ended in disastrous failure.

  Actor is too smart, almost no one can stand against him, and defenses are always disintegrated under his understated decisions, as if an adult is destroying a baby's building blocks.

The increasingly silent atmosphere reverberated in the city of doom, and every inhabitant of the city-state had their heads lowered. The man standing on the top of the city-state was suppressing them with his absolute wisdom, and no one could be regarded as an equal enemy by him. .

   On the street, a procession is marching. They are residents who resist brainwashing, and red-eyed soldiers hold them down.

   "A liar - he is a liar - why should we obey such a lord..."

   "Why did he take refuge in [Tawei] 6 years ago, he was obviously the one who hated [Tawei] the most..."

  The detained people covered their faces and wept, while passing residents looked at them numbly.

  Su Mingan saw this history and felt familiar, as if he had returned to the 32-year theocracy period of the cataclysm.

  Human history is a really amazing thing.

  32 years after the cataclysm, human beings could not bear the whispers of the gods and wanted to fight for [freedom], so they launched the Battle of Dawn, at the expense of the [survival] of countless people, overthrow the theocracy in 49 years.

In the 59th year of the cataclysm, the six-year-long cold cataclysm began. People who could not survive began to give up the [freedom] they had won. They wanted to seek help from the gods again, and pushed Akto to the edge of the world, just for the sake of [survival]. 】Go down.

  In the 71st year of the cataclysm, the Tawi executive met people's demands and gave them enough resources to survive. Human beings began to want to give up the [survival] resources blessed by these gods and strive for [freedom]...

   History is a big loop.

   revolves around "survival" and "freedom", over and over, from loop to loop, like a cut Klein bottle. Human beings are constantly tossing their own lifespan and civilization, and the spark of philosophy and contradiction will always be pumped in this population until it burns into a prairie fire and destroys itself.

   And now, there is a fatal question—

  He is here now.

During   6 years, who was Asa Akto who called himself the "City Lord", squeezed all the residents and deceived them?
