Woman: "Don't you want to know what happened in Far East City? My mission and duty is to tell you everything."
Gu Ran: "Mission and mission? Who ordered you to do this?"
Woman: "I just want to... save them, that's all."
"Save them?" Then, a thought popped up in Gu Ran's mind, "Are you talking about the residents of Far East City?"
"Not just the residents, everything and everyone in Far East City needs to be saved." The woman's expression revealed a bit of sadness, "Far East City is no longer the Far East City it used to be."
"The Far East City is stepping into an abyss that no one can predict. It will either be shattered to pieces or devoured by the devil and will no longer be able to be itself."
"Demon? This matter is related to the abyss demon?" Gu Ran frowned slightly.
The woman smiled, but that smile was full of bitterness: "I don't know, but in my opinion, this situation is almost like encountering a demon. If it wasn't a demon, how could the Lord of Far East City become like that?"
The city lord system is a very ancient system. The city lord is the ruler of the main city, and his family bloodline is passed down from generation to generation to inherit the ruling position.
Other main cities have already abolished the system one after another, and only a few main cities located in remote locations such as the Far East City still retain similar systems.
It seemed that Gu Ran had opened up the conversation, and the woman continued talking about the previous topic.
"Everything has changed. Everyone's behavior is converging, as if they are becoming one person. Have you ever felt that weird terror?"
“They are obviously people of different ages, professions, and genders, doing different things, but when they all turn their eyes to you, you will be horrified to find that they actually have a strange sense of similarity.”
"It was as if they were not different people, but different parts of the same being. Although they seemed different, they had a magical synchronization... That feeling..."
When she said this, the woman's expression was full of horror.
"But you didn't become like them, you didn't become a part of that existence, why?" Gu Ran interrupted.
Gu Ran's sudden question interrupted the woman's panic, and she returned to her original calm state.
Gu Ran frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
He discovered that this woman was actually in two extreme states: either her emotions were as calm as water, or her emotions were extremely strong.
"We are the chosen ones to observe the abandoned people who are not worthy of being the abandoned people. If someone among the abandoned people suddenly becomes 'weird' and wants to get rid of their current state, then we, the abandoned people, will kill them and let everything return to the 'right track'."
Dependents
Gu Ran remembered that Hara Laiqing and Qingji seemed to be the followers.
So, are the followers the higher-ups who still retain their "self"
Gu Ran continued to ask: "Then why are you not like other followers? You still have fear of God, but it seems... you don't respect Him? Why?"
The woman's expression could not help but become excited again: "That's not a god at all! That's a demon, and He wants to devour the entire Far East City!"
Gu Ran half-closed his eyes.
The "God" who wants to devour the entire Far East City
"I won't let him succeed, I won't let him succeed, I want to protect Jidong City, I want to protect Jidong City..."
The woman kept repeating this sentence.
Gu Ran couldn't help but remain silent.
The woman kept repeating that sentence, as if trying to convince herself, to convince herself to fight against that god-like existence.
"I want to protect Far East City. Far East City is our home..."
As if she had finally convinced herself, the woman's expression slowly calmed down.
Gu Ran watched this scene in silence. When the woman's expression finally calmed down, he asked the most important question.
"God, what is it?"
This is a question that Gu Ran must understand - what exactly is the "God" of Jidong City
"God..." The woman's pupils suddenly dilated, as if she saw something that made her extremely frightened.
Gu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
A tentacle suddenly descended from the sky, as fast as an arrow.
The tentacle, which was slippery and filthy, pierced the woman's body and strung her up at the heart.
The woman didn't even have time to resist, or she simply didn't dare to resist. The whole process was as fast as lightning.
The woman pierced by the tentacles struggled a bit and moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, her eyes gradually became dull, but she still stared at Gu Ran.
"Welcome... guests..."
The woman stared at Gu Ran and the voice she spoke sounded like gravel, extremely unpleasant to the ear.
"Who are you? God?" Gu Ran asked calmly.
"No one dares to offend the majesty of God. I am not God, I am His favored one. You can also call me the deputy city lord. I am the uncle of the city lord, and the Lord of the Court."
The woman's body seemed to be skewered and hung high.
The city lord’s uncle
God's favored one
Deputy city lord
Taking several factors together, and the fact that a coup had just taken place in Canglong City, Gu Ran naturally compared the two main cities together.
"Did you come up with all this?" Gu Ran asked.
“No, all this is God’s will.” The “woman” opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice, “They will become part of God. It is their honor that such humble people can become part of God.”
"Honored? Why aren't you honored?" Gu Ran's face contained a slight sarcasm.
"I will naturally contribute myself to the coming of God to the world, so why should I care about my mortal body?" Heyuan Jun continued, "But what I didn't expect was that a warrior from Canglong City would come to Jidong City to investigate in the middle of the plan."
"And what amazes me most is that God would actually desire... your body."
Suddenly, He Yuanjun's voice was filled with a strong sense of joy, as if Gu Ran's arrival was a surprise gift.
"God actually desires your body... This means that your body has transcended the mundane world. You will be the best vessel for God!"
"Warriors of Canglong City, how about becoming a part of God with us? You will also become sacred and great!"
Kazuin-kun said this in a pious but mad voice.
198. Tentacle Rain! Gu Ran "falls into a trap"! 4k
Gu Ran watched He Yuanjun's performance coldly.
"It seems that you don't want to become part of God with us?" Kazuin-kun's voice slowly calmed down, and he sounded as if he had regained his sanity.
"What an arrogant Canglong City person!"
"Damn it! Damn it! All the people in Canglong City deserve to die! Why can you own one of the best lands? Why can we only live in the harsh sea!"
"Everyone in Canglong City should become food for God!"
In an instant, Kazuin-kun's voice became extremely furious.
It seemed as if all his past resentment towards Canglong City had erupted at once, and he was no longer as gentle and polite as before, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.
The tentacle that pierced the woman suddenly moved, and the woman's body immediately shriveled up, and then fell off the tentacle, while the tentacle itself stabbed towards Gu Ran at a lightning speed.
However, although the tentacles were as fast as lightning, Gu Ran's reaction speed was even faster. He just moved his body slightly and avoided the piercing of the tentacles.
The tentacle that passed by Gu Ran paused slightly, then quickly turned around, returned, and continued to pierce Gu Ran.
It was as if Gu Ran had eyes on his back. Before the tentacles touched him, he turned around again and easily avoided the piercing.
Then the mental power took shape and turned into substance, forming a huge "cloth bag" that wrapped around the tentacles.
Just like a sword being sheathed, the tentacles were restrained by the invisible mental power "cloth bag".
However, the strength and attack power of the tentacles were truly amazing. Although they were bound by telekinesis, they only struggled hard for a few times and then directly pierced through the "cloth bag".
The strength of telekinesis is far inferior to that of tentacles.
But Gu Ran achieved his goal. He didn't expect that his mental power could completely restrain the tentacles. As long as he could delay them for a short period of time, it would be enough.
The next moment, a huge vortex of spiritual energy suddenly gathered in front of Gu Ran.
And that tentacle was right in the center of the spiritual energy vortex!
This was the skill that Gu Ran had used twice before when using space props. By resonating the spiritual energy with the telekinesis, he was able to control the spiritual energy to a certain extent and achieve the effect of the martial arts golden elixir.
The martial arts golden elixir is the source of power for martial artists and has many uses. One of these uses is something that all martial artists have learned without a teacher, and that is self-destruction!
If a martial arts master decides to die together with his enemy, he will self-destruct his martial arts elixir.
The degree of destructive power of a martial arts golden elixir's self-detonation is related to its own "quality", but usually the self-detonation of any martial arts master is more destructive than the most powerful city defense cannon currently available.
Therefore, the self-detonation of a martial arts master is a relatively threatening thing for many people. Generally speaking, in order to prevent the martial arts master from dying together with others, either the martial arts master is killed or his dantian is destroyed.
An ordinary martial arts master only has one chance to self-destruct, but Gu Ran finds that he seems to be able to use his telekinesis to create countless “martial arts golden pills” that can self-destruct.
Of course, the real martial arts golden elixir is the essence of a martial artist's lifelong strength. The power of self-detonation is far from comparable to the "martial arts golden elixir" that Gu Ran artificially created with spiritual energy in a short period of time.
But its advantage lies in large quantity, safety, pollution-free and infinite recycling.
boom!
