I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 504 Goodbye Ran Xinzhu

"Hopes and goals..."

Sean chewed on these two unfamiliar-looking words.

In the wasteland world, the concept of hope is too abstract, and goals for many people are just plans for the next few days.

I didn’t expect that this group of candidates from outside the city could find these things so quickly.

"That's strange. Is it because of the Mountain of Survivors? Or is there something wrong with the Big Rift?" Sean still didn't figure it out.

The strangest thing is that Sean has always cared more about the residents in the city than the candidates outside the city.

The residents in the city can be said to live and work in peace and contentment, and the various laws and regulations are more complete than before. They are indeed living in a more orderly life. Compared with the previous Paradise City, the environment in the city is countless times better.

However, residents in the city still retain many of their past living habits, the black market in the city continues to persist despite repeated bans, and the frequency of violent incidents has dropped significantly but has not completely disappeared.

In comparison, the candidates from outside the city are more pure.

Is it because there is a target to enter the city? Sean thought thoughtfully.

"It feels like I've been through a huge ritual that can purify my soul..." He couldn't help but complain.

But such a ceremony would probably be on a larger scale than the reshaping ceremony of the evil god's advent.

"Is it because the World Tree is beginning to revive?" Sean suddenly thought of a possibility.

The revival of the World Tree has become increasingly obvious in recent times. Its instinct alone can kill the body of the evil god. It is reasonable that this change can have an impact on the entire world.

However, no matter what the truth is, Sean's experiment has seen changes, although these changes are not what he originally expected.

"But, as for the Empire, should we proceed as planned..." Sean hesitated for the first time.

In his plan, unlike Paradise City, the Empire will begin to embark on a path of war and expansion. He wants to build the Empire into the true overlord of the Pan-Continent. By that time, the changes that have taken place in the Empire will definitely be more valuable for reference.

The night passed just as he was thinking about the problem. When it was dawn, someone knocked on the door of the wooden house where Sean was temporarily living - this was the property that Illya had saved up and gave it to him specially for one night.

Pushing the door open and walking over, Illya greeted him and immediately smiled: "Wow, most people can't sleep when they first come here, but you look so energetic, it seems you slept soundly?"

Crimson Peak can probably go for a few years without sleeping... Sean smiled casually: "Thank you for giving me the place to stay."

"Don't be polite. I won't hide it from you. This is mainly to win your favor so that you can stay in our team."

At the pinnacle of the elite, Illya couldn’t bear to let go of such a strong man.

Just as they were talking about exchanging the spoils they brought back yesterday for points, suddenly, someone came running over and called Illya aside.

The two whispered a few words, and Illya immediately said angrily: "Why?!"

"Hey, keep your voice down! Come here..." The man quickly pulled the angry Illya away.

Sean's hearing was naturally good, and he heard everything the two were saying.

It turns out that the girl Eliza who led the candidates to stop the Rainbow Nest Clan is Illya's sister...

In the morning, the dispute that had been settled was revived for unknown reasons, and even escalated to the point of fighting. As a result, the sheriff unexpectedly died in the chaos. Illya and the leaders were taken away by the security team and were said to be directly transferred to the police station in the city.

The management methods inside and outside the walls of Paradise City are different. Outside the city, the public security team is responsible for the management, and the enforcement is very lenient. After all, as long as the trouble does not spread to the city, it is fine. Inside the city, the police station is responsible, and the current police station is not the same as before. The punishment for various illegal and criminal acts is very severe.

People outside the city often joke that in addition to working hard to get an interview to enter the city, another way is to make a big noise to attract the police, and then be caught by the police, which counts as entering the city - anyway, it is said that people who are taken away by the police will have to stay in prison for many years.

How could Illya not be anxious when her sister was captured?

After a while, Illya came running back in a hurry. She looked at Sean and apologized, "I'm sorry, uncle, I can't take you to the place where the task is handed in. I have something to do. Here's the map for you. Go there by yourself."

Sean said nothing, just nodded.

Illya nodded and ran away. After a while, she actually organized a large group of people.

It seems that she is going to repeat her sister's actions and bring the public to put pressure on her.

"They're quite united..." Sean chuckled and followed the end of the team.

He walked slowly, and when he arrived, a large number of candidates had gathered at the city gate. Unlike yesterday's privileged behavior against the Rainbow Nest clan, this time, they came to take people away.

Illya and several others stood in front, confronting the law enforcement officers of Paradise City.

Sean looked inside and his eyes suddenly raised.

This time the person at the forefront was not the sheriff, but the police chief, who was also the captain's sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ran Xinzhu.

Before, he and Ran Xinzhu had a conflict over something. To be honest, it wasn't even a conflict, it was more like Ran Xinzhu was a little bit upset. However, with Sean's personality, how could he take the initiative to apologize and coax her? He didn't even look for Ran Xinzhu to say goodbye when he left Paradise City.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, he has become the chief of the police station.

"Given her personality, I'm afraid she must hate me to death." The corners of Sean's mouth slowly rose.

At the front of the team, facing the dense crowd of examinees, Ran Xinzhu just glanced around calmly. She looked at the few people in the lead and said coldly: "I have already explained it very clearly. What other answers do you want?"

Illya said angrily: "The sheriff was trampled to death in an accident. My sister and her team did nothing. Why did they arrest them?"

Ran Xinzhu frowned, and the power of the police chief who had always been in a high position emanated: "Didn't do anything? The previous conflict was caused by them. When the accident happened, Eliza was fully capable of stopping it, but she did nothing. And, I emphasize again, now, I will take them back to the police station as suspects for interrogation. If this accident has nothing to do with them, I will naturally release them."

She snorted, "Now, are you planning to attack public officials?"

Illya was getting more and more annoyed and was about to continue talking when she was interrupted by another person.

Turning around, it turned out to be the chief of the Rainbow Nest Clan.

Luo Xi and Ran Xinzhu knew each other, but Luo Xi just pretended that he had never seen each other and said calmly: "According to the public security law outside the city, that group of people should not be arrested."

The crowd burst into uproar.

Yesterday, it was Eliza who led people to stop the Rainbow Nest Clan from entering the city. But today, the Rainbow Nest Clan came to speak for Eliza?

Director Ran Xinzhu pursed his lips and his expression suddenly became unfriendly.
