Lord of Eternal Darkness

"It seems that you know far more than me. Can you send me back to the landlord's house now?"

Li Xiaoming crossed his legs and didn't want to meddle in other business.

Wang Ye made an OK gesture, "No problem, maybe we will meet again in the future."

As soon as the car stopped, Li Xiaoming couldn't wait to open the door and get out. He suddenly thought for two seconds, then ran to the front of the car, took out a handful of bills from his pocket, and threw it into Wang Ye's face.

Wang Ye looked stunned and didn't know what was going on.

Li Xiaoming said: "You are still pretending to be innocent here. I met you by chance just after she disappeared. This is the car payment I paid you. There is no need to change it."

"I have to admit that the Nightmare Body is more powerful than I thought. It was actually able to kill a fourth-level mechanic master. It's really powerful."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up all the money that fell on the ground. This can't be wasted. Maybe it can be returned in the future.

Li Xiaoming left without looking back until his figure opened the door of the landlord's house and walked in.

Wang Ye lay on the seat, took out the photo from his pocket, stared at it affectionately in silence, then put it back, stepped on the accelerator, and the car disappeared on the street.

Li Xiaoming felt that he was very tired, and his eyes couldn't help but feel sleepy. He really wanted to sleep. He had consumed too much dream energy, but he had to leave now. He packed his bags upstairs and called Lu Xiaohe.

Uncle Zhang looked at the two young people with some reluctance.

"Are you really not going to stay for a few days? Could it be that the rent is too expensive? I can give you rent-free."

Saint Assad said in a panic:

"Uncle Zhang doesn't mean anything else. I really appreciate your care these days, but I can't trouble you anymore."

"We just came here to play for a few days. Now that school is about to start, we have to get ready to leave."

Li Xiaoming also felt sorry, and he mortgaged the rest of the rent there. After all, the food expenses paid by the uncle far exceeded it.

Although Lu Xiaohe didn't know what was going on, he heard that his husband was leaving and wanted to stay with him. After all, he was the only one left in the city. I don’t want to live in the open and have no one to rely on like before.

Li Xiaoming carried his backpack and said goodbye to this city, but his intuition told him that sooner or later he would have to come back.

Li Xiaoming carried his big backpack, looked back at the small house, and then fled out of the city as quickly as possible. The people on the road were in such a hurry that they didn't notice him at all.

It's just that Ergou and Xiaode were panting from exhaustion, and they looked like they were severely lacking in exercise.

"Can you slow down a little bit?"

"Hurry up and catch up, time waits for no one."

Finally they came to the exit of the Innocence City, and they could be picked up as long as they reached the Yellow Sand Bone Burial Ground.

A row of guards at the city gate stood there quietly, their eyes only occasionally scanning the people entering.

Even though their dear deputy city lord had just passed away, no one cared. Maybe they hadn't heard the news yet, but even if they heard the chat before and after tea, there were a total of 5 deputy city lords in a city anyway.

Li Xiaoming looked at these people holding weapons with some guilt, worried that it would cause a big commotion. Fortunately, the other party was not aware of it.

They walked in the desert, heading towards their destination step by step under the scorching sun.

A strong wind blew over the desert, and the sand grains flew into the air. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, seeming to cover up the sun.

The hot air evaporated the grass. This was a world of yellow sand, with no place for humans.

Lu Xiaohe was so hot that he was sweating profusely. Only then did he realize how hot the desert area near the sea was. He was also a little curious, sir, where on earth were he going?

But seeing that the man and woman were silent, he had no choice but to keep quiet.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared in the yellow sand world, standing in front of him under the scorching sun.

"I must be exhausted."

Lu Xiaohe rubbed his eyes to make sure it was not a legendary mirage, something that can cause hallucinations. After all, he had been walking in this desert for nearly 30 minutes under the bright sun.

Li Xiaoming stretched out his hand to stop the two of them. "Xiao De, you should know the place we explored last time. Take Ergou there. I will arrive soon."

Saint Asad looked ahead warily. "Is there any danger? Do you want my help?"

"No, this guy is really just an old friend. In a sense, he is my savior." Li Xiaoming said easily, and then stepped over.

Saint Assad chose to believe in Li Xiaoming's ability. After all, he was a guy who could even kill people like the deputy city lord.

"Then we'll meet up in a while." After saying that, he took Xiao He's hand and left the place.

Li Xiaoming looked at the man in the black cloak in front of him, walked up to him slowly, then reached into his pocket and took out the recorder.

"This is what you want. You must ensure that those people will not want me. You should not be as strong as Wu De." The last sentence was full of threats.

"Don't worry, I didn't bring an escort. Coming to see you alone shows my sincerity. Li Xiaoming, you really impressed me. You exchanged one person's life for money for two missions. With someone as prudent as you, always It’s the people who won’t suffer that make people admire.”

"No, you are exaggerating. I am just an ordinary student. But it is my honor for you, the city lord, to put down your identity and trade with me."

The man there, who was called the City Lord, took over the other party's recording pen.

"His ambitions are too great and there has never been a chance to get rid of him. Because he needs to compete with the other four deputy city lords, he gradually becomes a big problem."

At this time, Li Xiaoming could not hesitate to laugh at Wang Ye, who treated others as pawns. You thought you were on the second floor, but in fact I was already on the fourth floor.

Li Xiaoming said: "Haha, you guys have dirty minds playing politics. I also checked your relationship with Wang Ye. Are you planning to change it to inheritance?"

"As an illegitimate child, I have indeed treated him too much. I have not given him enough care since he was a child. That silly boy always follows his own ideas regardless of the consequences, but this is also the mission of our Wang family.

"My ancestors once transformed the prison of the Innocence City into the richest city on the continent, so we should carry it forward and keep it glorious."

Li Xiaoming didn't know what the other party was up to, but he couldn't directly ask.

"But there are many problems, aren't there? Such a rule cannot last long."

"They are all small troubles accumulated over time, as well as some differences in human nature. There is no way around it. Drastic reforms will always break the bones until they are broken into pieces. Slowly, everything will get better."

The city lord said disapprovingly, obviously not noticing the seriousness of the problem. Perhaps he did, and he killed a person who took the blame, which temporarily alleviated the situation.

Li Xiaoming said indifferently: "What should I do with Wang Ye? You won't really have a father-son game in the end, right? Then remember to call me as a professional reporter. My identity as an inspector is also true, but I will never tell anyone."

The city lord was wrapped in a black robe and gradually disappeared into the desert.

"The dilapidated house standing on the edge of the cliff will one day collapse due to internal rot. That is fate. And constant reinforcement will replace all the original ones. Will it still be the original wooden house? Leave it to the young people to choose."

The technology of space travel allows him to reach any place he wants, and he left the last words.

Li Xiaoming looked around, opened his arms, and felt the sand blowing in the wind.

"Then I want to see how far you, a secret supporter, can help him. Brother Wang, since you have chosen the wrong path, just go to the dark side. I hope we will not become opponents. "

Li Xiaoming knew in his heart that Wang Ye knew his identity, but the estrangement between him and his father did not allow too much speech and communication between them.

And all of this has a lot to do with a woman. He doesn't want to know too much about this bloody family history.

So the future of this city, whether it chooses to change or remains unchanged and maintains its glory, depends on the duel between the father and son.

We can finally start the academy chapter, and the story behind it is even better. You may not believe it, but we didn’t originally have the part of Innocence City. It wasn’t until I saw Cyberpunk when I was writing jokes, that I came up with the idea of ​​​​dubbing the number of words, which means that I was duped for more than 60 years. chapter. Anyway, no one is reading it. I haven’t collected it for 10 days, and it’s the lowest recommendation. What else do I have to be afraid of? I’m just waiting for it to be put on the shelves. I’ve been double updating it for a month. If I wasn't writing novels, I could play games all night long.
