Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The black beam of light, with its devastating pressure, slammed towards Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. At the critical moment, a golden barrier appeared out of thin air, protecting the two of them. The violent impact caused the barrier to tremble violently, and finally shattered, turning into golden light and dissipating in the air.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were blown away and fell heavily into the ruins. They struggled to stand up, but found that their blood was surging and their vision was black.

"Ahem..." Chu Mengmeng spat out a mouthful of blood, her face frighteningly pale. She looked up at the black-robed man in mid-air, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

Xiao Yichen's condition was not much better. His clothes were torn by the energy impact, revealing several deep wounds that could be seen to the bone. But he ignored the pain on his body, helped Chu Mengmeng up, and asked anxiously: "Mengmeng, how are you?"

"I'm fine..." Chu Mengmeng shook her head, enduring the pain and said, "We must stop him!"

However, the black-robed man obviously did not give them a chance to breathe. He waved his staff again, and countless black beams of light fell from the sky, hitting the entire city like a torrential rain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosions sounded one after another, and the already dilapidated city was completely turned into ruins under the heavy bombing. Houses collapsed, streets broke apart, and there were blazing flames and thick black smoke everywhere.

“Ah——” Screams, cries, and cries for help, intertwined together, formed a scene like purgatory on earth.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were so angry that their eyes were red with anger, but they could do nothing. They could only watch their city and their homes being destroyed before their eyes, their hearts filled with powerlessness and despair.

"Hahaha, is this the city you are guarding? It's so vulnerable!" The man in black robe laughed wildly, his voice full of sarcasm and disdain.

"Damn it!" Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists, her nails dug deep into her palms, blood flowing down her fingers. She had never hated her incompetence and her negligence as much as she did now!

If only they had discovered the enemy's plot sooner, if only they had been more cautious, if only they had...

Unfortunately, no if.

"Let's go! Let's go save people!" Xiao Yichen forced himself to cheer up, pulled Chu Mengmeng up, and ran towards the place where there were the most survivors.

They shuttled through the ruins, looking for anyone who might still be alive. Whenever they saw the injured citizens and heard their desperate cries, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts felt like being cut by a knife.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Chu Mengmeng repeated these three words over and over again, tears blurring her eyes.

She knew that it was all because of their negligence that led to this disaster and caused the deaths of so many innocent people.

They are the sinners of the city!

On the other side, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also felt this destructive force. Their faces were pale and their eyes were full of fear.

"Oh no! Mengmeng, Yichen and the others..." Lin Wan'er screamed and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Su Mubai.

"Calm down! Rushing out now will only lead to your death!" Su Mubai said in a deep voice, "We must first organize everyone to evacuate and reduce casualties as much as possible!"

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that now was not the time to act on emotion. Only by ensuring the safety of more people could she free up her hands to deal with the enemy.

"Okay! Let's split up!"

In the chaos, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er showed amazing leadership and organizational skills. While dodging the attacks from the sky, they commanded the panicked crowd and guided them to evacuate to a safe place.

"Don't panic, everyone! Follow us!"

"Old people and children go first! Young people stay behind!"

"Don't crowd! Come one by one!"

Thanks to their efforts, the originally chaotic scene was gradually brought under control, and more and more citizens were evacuated safely.

At the same time, the guardian of the ancient ruins, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He looked at the hellish scene before him, and a trace of grief and anger flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Kids, you have made a fatal mistake..." He said slowly, "The enemy's real goal is not to destroy the city..."

"What?!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were shocked when they heard this.

"Then what is their goal?" Xiao Yichen asked anxiously.

The guardian of the ancient ruins did not answer directly, but looked up at the sky. His eyes seemed to penetrate layers of space and saw the black hand hidden behind the scenes.

"Their goal is..."

Before he could finish his words, his face suddenly changed, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body became weak.

"Senior! What's wrong with you?!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hurried forward to support him, asking anxiously.

“Be careful…they…are coming…” The guardian of the ancient ruins spoke intermittently, his voice becoming weaker and weaker, and finally disappearing completely.

“Senior?! Senior——!!!”

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were heartbroken, but they didn't know that what was waiting for them next would be an even more cruel test...

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were grief-stricken. The last words of the guardian of the ancient ruins echoed in their ears, like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts. They made a fatal mistake, but what was the enemy's real goal?

"Yi Chen, what should we do now?" Chu Mengmeng's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of confusion and fear.

Xiao Yichen held her hand tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. "Mengmeng, we can't give up! Senior has sacrificed himself to protect us, we can't let him down!"

He raised his head and looked around the devastated city, a raging anger burning in his heart. He swore to find out who was behind it and avenge the city and all the innocent people who died!

"Mengmeng, you are right, we must stop them!" Lin Wan'er's voice came from a distance, with a hint of firmness and determination.

Su Mubai followed closely behind. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were extremely firm. "We have lost too much. We cannot lose any more! We must unite and fight the enemy together!"

The city defenders gathered together, everyone's face was filled with grief and anger. They finally realized that they had made a fatal mistake - they were only concerned with protecting the city, but ignored the enemy's real goal.

"We must re-strategize!" Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice, "The enemy has infiltrated every corner of the city. We can no longer passively defend. We must take the initiative to attack, find out where they are hiding, and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"But we know nothing about the enemy, how can we find them?" Lin Wan'er asked.

"Before he died, the senior said that the enemy's real goal was not to destroy the city..." Chu Mengmeng recalled the words of the guardian of the ancient ruins, "What exactly is their goal?"

At this moment, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of the city center.

"Oh no! They are coming again!" Su Mubai's face changed and he said hurriedly.

The city defenders immediately became alert, summoned their weapons and prepared for battle.

However, when they saw the figure walking out of the energy fluctuations, they were stunned.

He was a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a hood, with an unclear face. He exuded powerful energy fluctuations, as if he came from another world.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen asked vigilantly.

The mysterious man slowly raised his head and gave a weird smile.

"I'm here to help you..." He said in a low and hoarse voice, "I know who your enemies are and what their purpose is..."

The city guardians looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and uneasiness. Who was this mysterious man? Was he really here to help them?
