Order defeated the Legion of Tyranny, but the subsequent maintenance was an astronomical figure, and the trouble was not just the maintenance problem.
Ninety-nine percent of the enemies were blocked behind the city walls, but a small number of monsters still broke through the walls and entered the living circle where humans lived.
The order now has a total of nine circles of walls. The outermost circle is for residents who are basically of no help to the order. They need to complete some work and demonstrate their value before they can move into a more core position.
Just now, a heartbreaking scene happened behind the wall. A brother and sister were attacked by kobolds.
A man and a woman are brother and sister, Bai Fang and Bai Yu Ran. They are seventeen or eighteen years old and are considered young and strong people of order. In fact, they used to work in the fifth-layer wall, but during work, Bai Fang was harassed. Although the harasser was punished afterwards, Bai Yu Ran was dissatisfied. He sneaked into the other person's house in the middle of the night and broke the other person's right leg with an iron rod. This violated the law of order and was sent to work in the ninth-layer wall.
Bai Fang was concerned about her brother, so even though she could be exempted from punishment, she still secretly applied and followed him. Because of this incident, Bai Yuran blamed him for a long time.
But they quickly adapted to their current life. They cherished their dreams and looked forward to returning to the core area one day and getting away from this dangerous environment.
But sometimes, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come. Just today, Bai Yuran and Bai Fang experienced the separation of life and death. A dog-headed man broke through the wall, stabbed Bai Fang with a bone knife, and killed him.
Lu Wei noticed something, but at that time, he couldn't leave his post at all. The life and death of one person was far less important than the destruction of the city wall. He was no longer the passionate young man who had supernatural powers and would stop the slightest injustice. The cruelty of reality made him understand the current rules of the world.
However, just as Lu Wei completed his defense and turned around to help the other party, he found that the ogre who had killed Bai Fang before had actually fallen to the ground with a hideous wound on his leg, and Bai Yu Ran was also covered in wounds and lying on the ground extremely weakly.
An ordinary person actually injured a bronze-level kobold
Lu Wei stood in front of the other party, stopped the dog-headed man who was still able to move, and turned his attention to Bai Yuran: "How did you do it?"
The power that the opponent burst out seemed to be beyond Lu Wei's imagination.
Bai Yu Ran had lost his ability to think, and his face was twisted, but he still said in a resounding voice: "I want revenge! I want revenge for Fang Fang!"
"Oh, then go ahead and do whatever you want." The cold voice sounded again, along with a dagger handed over by Lu Wei!
Bai Yuran nodded, his stiff and pale hands clenched into fists, his eyes were as sharp as knives as he stared at the dog-headed man who had killed his sister, and he growled like a cold wind: "I want revenge! I want you to pay with blood!
Bai Yuran will never forget that there was a girl who stayed with him when he was most helpless and in the most difficult times. He knew that he had no ability and power to protect her, so he could only watch her go out to work and be bullied by her coworkers. He originally wanted to work hard to get himself and his sister back to the core, but the sudden appearance of the ogre destroyed everything he had!
"I was wrong!" Bai Yuran blamed himself. If he had been able to control his temper and obey the decision of the Inspection Department, they would not have come here, and his sister would not have been killed!
When Fangfang died, he no longer had any relatives. He didn't know why he picked up a stone and fought the dog-headed man desperately when Fangfang died. He didn't know it before, and he still doesn't know it now.
Picking up the dagger, Bai Yuran rushed towards the dog-headed man, and the knife fell... As the knife fell, Bai Yuran's hearing changed from screaming to wailing and then to silence. He didn't know how many times he stabbed the dog-headed man, but he finally woke up when he felt his body was completely soaked by the bright red blood.
Looking at the dog-headed man who had been stabbed into a sieve by him, Bai Yuran gritted his teeth, took a slight breath, and sat down on the ground with a pale face and a look of confusion and helplessness in his eyes.
No matter how strong the hatred was, he was just an ordinary person after all. He had never seen blood or killing.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Lu Wei had been a spectator from beginning to end, witnessing everything.
Bai Yu Ran raised his head with a sad expression. Lu Wei waited quietly without urging him. Then Bai Yu Ran shook his head and nodded, and finally stopped talking. However, the answer was clear.
Bai Yuran was grateful and respectful to the man in front of him. After all, he had seen too much darkness and suffered too much hardship. The appearance of Lu Wei was undoubtedly the best definition of the superhero hidden deep in Bai Yuran's heart.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
After waking up from the shock of murder, Bai Yuran quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Wei. For Bai Yuran, who had nothing, this might be his most expensive reward.
Lu Wei slowly shifted his gaze to the girl who had been lying dead on the roadside for a long time. Without the regret and sadness that the hero in Bai Yuran's heart would show, he simply said, "There are many people like you in this world. Their relatives died in harsh environments and are now waiting for someone to rescue them."
"No one can save you. Just like me before, I only saw everything but couldn't do anything to help you."
Although he didn't understand, Bai Yuran nodded woodenly. Suddenly, Bai Yuran seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became stiff. He asked timidly but not sure, "Aren't you just passing by? You didn't want to save me because you saw I was about to be killed?"
He clenched his fists, waiting for Lu Wei's answer, but what he got was a shaking head.
At the side, Bai Yuran lowered his head in a daze, his face looking a little dull.
He didn't expect that the truth would be like this!
How Bai Yu Ran hoped, how much he hoped that the hero in front of him would say that he just happened to pass by and saved his life.
A second ago, he respected the savior, who he thought was tall and righteous. From that moment on, he was no longer alone. With the care of the hero, he also wanted to help the weak and save the people in trouble like himself.
But the truth is, all of this was due to my own naivety, and the hero saved me only because I looked like a human being.
He could have prevented Fangfang from being killed, but he didn't do anything and let Fangfang die tragically!
The respect and admiration just now now seems like a mocking joke.
"Hero? You obviously have the ability, so why didn't you save Fangfang? Why did you let her die in front of you! Are our lives just a vague joke in your mind? If I weren't the fool you said, would you watch me get killed? It must be like this." Bai Yuran roared in his heart.
He was ashamed and angry.
He felt like he was being played around by Lu Wei. He and Fangfang were like two puppets on strings. He just performed better than Fangfang, so he was rewarded with life, while Fangfang died tragically under the knife.
He felt the coldness in what Lu Wei said.
"How could you do this to us?!"
"Are the weak destined to be humiliated and killed? I am forgiving my sins and doing a lot of work every day. Fangfang, how can Fangfang die in a place like this? She is still so young and has her own life to live. She can even get married and have children and have her own family. At that time, I will let go and truly wish her the best... But... Why do you just stand by and watch?"
After suffering so much hardship and his sister being killed, the appearance of Lu Wei was like a god to Bai Yuran. However, this god to whom he was willing to devote all his spiritual faith collapsed and disappeared without a trace in an instant!
The series of blows finally caused Bai Yuran's mental defenses to completely collapse. His face was distorted and he loudly questioned the savior whom he regarded as a hero just a few minutes ago.
At the same time, a shocking scene also appeared!
Bai Yu Ran's five fingers were hooked, and his eyes reflected scarlet rays of light, but all this was not surprising. The most horrifying thing was that while Bai Yu Ran was staring at Lu Wei, pieces of armor like dragon scales slowly appeared on his body.
At this moment, Bai Yuran awakened successfully!
Bai Yu Ran's performance at this time also caught Lu Wei off guard. Even though he was used to seeing all kinds of strange events, he had never thought that this young man could awaken his abilities through anger!
How long has it been since I last saw this scene
Lu Wei also has a younger sister, so he naturally understands that kind of desperate feeling. He wants to make some explanations, not because he owes something, nor because the other party’s misunderstanding will have any bad impact on him, but because he is a brother.
But what Lu Wei didn't expect was that before he could say anything, the young man in front of him suddenly changed. He actually awakened his abilities and became a true professional.
Scholars have long ago confirmed that when a person suddenly mutates, the body will undergo some changes, and it is very likely that they will be promoted to become professionals. Of course, this kind of promotion requires the living to encounter unimaginable hardships and pain, which can be said to be a state of soul worse than death!
This shows how great the boy's feelings for his dead sister are, which even allowed him to complete the promotion and cross over to a new level.
Looking at Bai Yuran, who was staring at him with murderous eyes instead of treating him as his savior, Lu Wei took him seriously for the first time as a completely independent living being.
"Do you want to kill me?" Lu Wei said calmly.
The young man was stunned and couldn't help thinking, "Yes, he is my lifesaver. Even if he didn't save Fangfang, he still saved my life! My father said that we should repay the kindness, but what is this for me?"
"No, he was the one who ignored everything. He clearly had great power but he didn't save Fangfang, which led to the disaster!"
Bai Yu Ran was extremely upset now. He clearly felt that there were two little people in his body at this moment, both of them were hitting each other madly. On one side was his savior and on the other side was the evil person who watched him die without helping. This kind of surprise was enough to make him helpless.
"Why? Why didn't you save her? You could have rescued Fangfang the first time, so why did you just watch her get killed?!" Bai Yuran shouted at Lu Wei, his hands and feet trembling, his eyes reflecting bursts of cold light.
"No!"
Facing the boy's questioning, Lu Wei shook his head. If the boy knew at this time that the man in front of him was Chen Feng's confidant and the leader of the dark department, he might have trembled directly, because according to rumors, Lu Wei was a strong man who could stop a child from crying.
Lu Wei has one of the most powerful powers in the Order, but he did not get angry at a newly promoted professional. Instead, he said, "I was resisting the disaster on the city wall before. Why didn't I come to save your sister? That's because I was protecting the Order's population of one million. Compared with one person and one million, what would you choose?"
Lu Wei's words left Bai Yuran speechless. He trembled all over but didn't know how to refute.
"The reason you are confused now is because you have stood up and looked at your surroundings."
"Everywhere is filled with monsters and beasts, and they have only one goal, which is to destroy the homeland where humans live!"
"In a disaster, no one is immune. I understand how you feel because I am also a brother. If my sister was killed in front of me, I would be a hundred or even a thousand times crazier than you!"
Lu Wei's face remained expressionless, but his breath was shaking more and more violently. His shirt was fluttering slightly, and there were faintly two demons roaring and screaming above his head.
"Do you want to have great power?"
"Do you want to have a new life? Although your sister is dead, you still have a chance to find your own happiness, find a beloved woman, have a few more children, and let you say goodbye to the pain of losing your sister."
"Although the unbearable pain will last for a long time, I also want you to understand that it is not me, nor anyone else, who has harmed you or your sister, but your low-level strength!"
"Try your best. Try your best to swim upstream with everything you have now. Only then can you truly protect yourself and your loved ones from getting hurt!"
Bai Yuran was a little surprised by Lu Wei's words. He never thought that the other party would say these to him.
Tears streamed down Bai Yuran's face. As a man, he had never cried even when he was in pain. But now, he could no longer suppress the chaotic emotions in his heart. He collapsed without a doubt.
Lu Wei looked at the other person and said, "Cry, you will feel better if you cry. If you really want revenge, you can come to me, but your current strength is not enough. Try your best. With your current strength, you are not qualified to be my enemy. You can't even complain simply!"
