"1001—No, why should I answer you? Who are you? Why have I never seen you in this area?" The man answered Gu Ran subconsciously, and then immediately realized that he had no reason to do so.
"What happened to the residents in the slums?" Gu Ran asked with a frown.
"Hmph, I have nothing to say. It seems like you were hiding somewhere before, and you just came out now." The man guessed self-righteously.
"I'm from Canglong City." Gu Ran smiled.
The man's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Gu Ran seriously. He looked Gu Ran up and down, and said:
"You little bastard from Canglong City, do you think Canglong City can still support you? Now that I have discovered you, your good days are over."
Gu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then use your methods. I'm curious about what you can do to me."
"Hmph, you don't know your place. I see you don't even take me seriously." The man's hand trembled, and he threw several flying knives at Gu Ran quickly.
Gu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw the flying knife emitting a cold blue light and knew that the blade must be highly poisonous. He immediately moved his body and dodged it.
Then, without waiting for the man to move further, he used his telekinesis to "freeze" him.
But that man was no ordinary character. He soon broke free from the constraints of the materialized telekinesis.
"Your ability..." The man looked at Gu Ran in surprise.
Then he no longer lingered, turned around and wanted to escape.
But this time Gu Ran did it himself. He moved, as if teleporting, and appeared directly behind the man.
Then he swept his leg and knocked the man down.
Gu Ran stepped on the man's dantian and said calmly, "Can you tell me now? What happened to those people in the slums?"
"Hahahaha... You brat from Canglong City, you can kill me or chop me up as you please, but you won't be able to get any information from me!" Even though Gu Ran threatened to destroy his dantian, he was still not afraid, and his smile contained a hint of madness.
Gu Ran glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and then destroyed his dantian with a kick.
The man suddenly screamed in pain, as if he had fallen into hell.
"You said it, it's up to me." Gu Ran shrugged and said innocently.
The man looked at Gu Ran with great resentment and hatred, but he still didn't say anything.
Gu Ran didn't care about the man's hatred and resentful look at all. How dare a defeated general be so arrogant
"Okay, let me guess first." Gu Ran was not in a hurry to ask for the answer. He had plenty of time anyway.
"I guess this has something to do with the 'God' that you guys revere so much?" Gu Ran stared at the man.
"The Supreme God will punish you!"
The man's eyes changed slightly, and he shouted loudly, as if this could give him a sense of security.
"It seems that I guessed correctly. Thank you for the information."
Gu Ran stepped on his heart and burst it.
197. God longs for your body! 4k
It’s not that Gu Ran didn’t want to get more information, but he saw the man’s determination in his eyes.
—No matter how much he was tortured, he would not reveal any information subjectively.
And even if he didn't have any information about this man, Gu Ran would still be able to "find out" the information.
The population of Far East City is only over 40 million, which is much smaller than other main cities.
Gu Ran's mental power can completely cover the entire Jidong City, except for the core area in the middle of the inner city, which cannot be explored for some reason.
However, preliminary exploration through telekinesis is enough to understand a lot of information.
Whether it is the inner city or the slums, the entire Far East City has an eerie sense of tranquility.
At first glance it seems like a paradise, but upon closer inspection, you can see that it lacks a sense of worldliness.
More than 40 million people are in a peculiar order, without any conflicts or quarrels among each other, and they are carrying out their work quietly and peacefully.
Gu Ran felt his scalp slightly tingling.
This was a situation he could not have predicted before he came. More than 40 million people in the Far East City were caught in the weirdness. Even if he was skilled and courageous, he couldn't help but feel fearful.
Gu Ran did not immediately enter the area that he could not explore, but was analyzing and thinking about the information he had obtained so far.
It is not known whether these people are still human or not, but it is obvious that they have lost the ability to think for themselves and can only react based on their instincts.
The reason why he asked those people about math just now was because answering the questions required a corresponding amount of knowledge and a logical thinking process.
Judging from the results obtained, if the questions are within the scope of these people's knowledge, they can give some "normal" answers based on their instincts.
But once the question goes beyond their original knowledge and requires them to think before answering, they can no longer rely on instinct to handle the problem.
At this point it was as if they had encountered a bug and they could no longer operate according to the original "procedure".
The question now is why the residents of Far East City have become like this
If he could know the answer, then his trip to the Far East City would be over.
"The man just now seemed to be observing and maintaining the status of these residents. Once he found something that did not conform to the 'procedures', he would come over to check the situation."
"He shouldn't be the only one like him."
Although these 40 million people were caught in some kind of weirdness, their behavior still looked like normal humans on the surface. Even "observers" like the man just now were integrated into it and difficult to distinguish at once.
However, Gu Ran did not have any other breakthrough for the time being, so he spent a little more time searching and identifying.
In the end, Gu Ran found them one by one, because these people did not follow their own "procedures" like others, they especially liked to observe others.
And it seems to be doing nothing, without that "sense of procedure".
Gu Ran chose the one closest to him.
... ...
"Bang!"
The "Observer" chosen by Gu Ran crashed into a small building and spit out blood from his mouth.
"Who...are...you?"
The middle-aged "observer" who was trapped in the wall of the building looked at Gu Ran with confusion in his eyes, and even the pain from his injuries was relieved a lot.
"You need to take care of yourself more." Gu Ran said calmly, "Who are you? Why are you observing these people in secret?"
The middle-aged "Observer" coughed up a mouthful of blood, opened his mouth which was missing several teeth and leaking air, and laughed crazily:
"Haha, you are not from Jidong City. Let me guess, you are either from Canglong City or Suzaku City. Wait, Canglong City and Suzaku City will soon pay the price for what you have done!"
Gu Ran didn't ask any more questions, but still destroyed his dantian with one kick and then crushed his heart.
Jidong City has a very strange logic. It is obvious that they have been the ones who have repeatedly plotted against Canglong City and Suzaku City, but because they have failed repeatedly and even been jointly suppressed by Canglong City and Suzaku City, they feel that they have become victims and are justified.
Warriors or people with special abilities who come from the Far East City generally have a strange, weird and distorted set of values.
This kind of value makes them have a strange sense of confrontation when facing Canglong City and Suzaku City. They feel that they must not give in to the people of Canglong City and Suzaku City, otherwise they will be looked down upon.
Therefore, when they guessed or knew that Gu Ran was from "Canglong City", they were determined not to cooperate or surrender.
But Gu Ran didn’t believe that all those “observers” would be such diehards. Wasn’t there someone who was terribly afraid of death
So after killing the middle-aged "Observer", Gu Ran continued to move towards the next target.
They killed and killed along the way, blood was all over the ground, and battles took place around them. Those ordinary residents seemed to be stuck, with bugs appearing and could no longer function as before.
Only those people in more remote places who have not been affected continue to live their lives as before.
"These people are really so stubborn. Aren't they afraid of death?"
Gu Ran killed until the last "Observer", but still did not find an "Observer" who was afraid of death and willing to tell him the information.
"No, that's not right. Their emotions seem to be a little off. Although they are hostile to Canglong City, they also have other emotions. They can't be so hysterical."
As he killed his way through, Gu Ran discovered that all of these "observers" had crazy expressions without exception.
“Are their emotions at extremes, with no middle ground?”
Gu Ran frowned slightly.
These "observers" are either in a very calm, even indifferent state, or in an extremely manic and hysterical state.
He simply couldn't gather any intelligence properly because these "observers" were truly not afraid of death.
This situation continued until Gu Ran found the last "observer".
That was a very beautiful woman.
She was wearing the traditional long skirt of Jidong City and looked at Gu Ran with a calm expression.
"The strong man from Canglong City, you are finally here." she said.
Gu Ran looked at the woman.
"Are you waiting for me?" he asked.
"I'm waiting for you, but I'm not waiting for you. To be precise, I'm waiting for anyone. As long as he is a strong man from Canglong City or Zhuque City, it will be fine. Because I know that the first people to respond will definitely be the people from these two main cities."
The look she gave Gu Ran was extremely calm.
Gu Ran: "Why?"
