The moment Lily ran out, Hao Ren couldn't help muttering in his heart: I won't go down the road of no return to bullying, it is said that bullying men and women starts with a dog biting people without saying a word......
But after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think there was such a risk, after all, in most cases, even if he didn't pick up behind him, Lily would go out and bite people.Actually, from the very beginning, Hao Ren knew that things would definitely develop in the current direction - the real world is not a juvenile comic, how can it be possible for two groups of people to understand each other when they get together to talk about love and justice, and a second ago they were tense as long as they talked about their dreams, they can talk happily, everyone is a civilized person, and it is the normal way to unfold when the truth is just not enough-and to be honest, the two groups of people even have different worldviews, and basically lack the basis for reasoning.Therefore, his plan has always been very goal-oriented: to observe the existence of this twilight capital before causing chaos, and fulfill the "observing" obligation of the censor, and then he will inevitably encounter the local forces, and the local forces will inevitably hinder, so everyone will rush to the Iron Throne with lightning all the way to chat with the ancient saints.This is not to be taken for granted, Hao Ren made these conclusions after learning about the operation of the Steam Council, its historical achievements, corporate culture, and management philosophy from Wendell and Boken.A full-fledged social authority, one that can keep the city running after the end of the world, and keep order in the face of everything at stake, needs not a flexible mind and an enterprising spirit, but conservatism, stability, and prudence, especially when it comes to the dark wilderness outside, especially when it comes to the dark wilderness outside.Hope's seemingly paranoid misconceptions are not entirely subjective, in fact, in the 2,000 years since the Twilight City was founded, the city has faced countless rumors, scams, and even evil that have led to social unrest.
Religion threats, trapped in the barrier for so many years, the chances of a mentally ill person appearing in ordinary people are simply not too high, whether it is escaping reality, or taking revenge on society, anyway, every century someone will claim to have found a way to save all mankind, and these methods will basically point to the dark wilderness outside.After being trapped in darkness for so many years, people either believe that the other side of the darkness is a flood beast, or they believe that the other side of the darkness is a heavenly paradise, and the latter is of course much smaller than the former—but the harm is countless times greater.There have indeed been times in history when the seekers of light and evil have happened.
A vile incident in which the believers colluded to create the illusion of paradise.Legend has it that a large team of light-seekers entered the night and soon lost contact with the Twilight Capital, lost in the scorching sand of Jotunheim, and for twenty days, all of them were wiped out, but one survivor miraculously survived.No one knows how he survived, but it is certain that he suffered a spiritual upheaval during those terrible twenty days, the lightseeker hallucinated, he firmly believed that he had found the heavenly realm, and made the oasis that only existed in his imagination very real, and then he returned to the Twilight City and began to preach about the "new home", which had terrible consequences.He ended up pulling up an almost evil one.
The Order did not hesitate to falsify evidence to prove the existence of the oasis, and he even fought against the Steam Council's investigative team, and organized thousands of people to leave the Twilight City and travel to Jotunheim in search of the wonderful paradise that only existed in his false memories.Thousands of precious citizens with all kinds of skills died in the dark wilderness.From that day on, the Steam Council had established strict rules that anyone returning from the darkness of the Light must be subjected to strict questioning.If the number of people returning is more than two, it is good to say, if only one person returns, then everything he says will hardly be believed.Because under the erosion of magical radiation, even the lightseekers themselves cannot be sure that their minds are normal, and the lightseekers who return alone may be insane, and even if they are sane, they may have been brainwashed by hallucinations, and no one can prove whether their words are true or not without anyone else to compare.So Hope's suspicion of Wendell is completely understandable, he is just a little more radical than the average Steam Councilrist: he doesn't doubt his father, but he doesn't trust his own father at all.But in any case, the result was the same: Hao Ren and they could not go to Xiacheng through formal channels.Have Wendell be questioned about the Steam Council's formal process?
A group of people to take on the questioning and evidence that could last for months?
To discuss more than 2 million words of life worldview with a group of experts and scholars?
This may be a formal procedure, but to be honest, Hao Ren doesn't have the time to go through the formal procedure.Lily whined and turned into a werewolf, turning into an afterimage on the spot, and almost knocked all the sheriffs on the scene away before everyone could react, and then Hao Ren pulled out his two spears, brandished them and rushed to the edge of the platform: "Which direction is the elevator?!"
”Wendell was surrounded by a large group of bats summoned by Vivian, and the old man had already followed this group of violent people out of a hundred meters in a daze, and at this time he didn't care about thinking about any rational solution to the peace plan, should it be said that he was worthy of being a macho man who embarked on a journey to find the light twice, when the truth became just positive, his single-minded spirit burst out: "Left!"
That place of smoke!
Rush over!
”The sheriff brought by Hope was rushed to pieces in an instant: these people were not really combatants, they were just maintaining the daily order of the upper city, and their combat power was the authoritative attribute brought by that uniform, so it was not until Hao Ren and his party were about to disappear on the platform that the last unlucky guy got up from the ground.In desperation, one of the sheriffs even threw the metal staff in his hand as a flying prop - and then the stick was caught by Lily and never returned."
Sir!"
A bruised-nosed and swollen part stumbled up to Hope, "What should I do?"
”Hope's face was blue, beads of sweat were running down his neck, and he had only one thought in his mind now: his father was finally hopeless, and he was ready to lead someone to force his way into the Iron Throne of the Ancient Sage, and there was no doubt that he was really crazy in this last trip to find the light!"
Go inform the Wizarding Order, the Armed Security Force, and the Steam Six!"
Hope yelled loudly as he pressed a certain button on the small metal box on his waist hard, "Santis, Roland, sound the alarm!"
Hubbard, go to the lift, evacuate the civilians, block the machine!
”"The others follow me to the town hall - find out which cult remnants those people are!!"
By this time, Hao Ren and the others had rushed out of the locomotive platform with sparks and lightning all the way, and according to Wendell's instructions, they were moving along a wide girder made of steel, and soon left the station far behind.The upper town of the Twilight City is covered with all kinds of things made of steel, steel frames that carry pipes, reinforced beams between buildings, and overhanging roads, these criss-crossing structures are like spider webs over the city, and smoke and steam from various factory boilers swirl through these "cobwebs" in the cracks.The crowd walked through a vast system of pipes, and the gas leaking from the pipe system made the surrounding fog thick, and in this blurred fog, two rows of faintly glowing fluorescent lights guided the way forward, which were the runi characters embedded in the structure of the building.In order to alleviate the pressure on the lower floors of the city due to the heavy structures, the builders of the Twilight Capital made extensive use of runes on their buildings, which were not as powerful as the runes of Leita, but had excellent auxiliary uses.Vivien smiled when she saw these runes and whispered, "These runes were 'created' by Odin, but if it weren't for Ragnarok, I'm afraid 'mortals' would never have had the opportunity to touch their secrets." ”"UhhThe whistle roared throughout the Uptown, and the cloud of steam that had been entrenched between the superbuildings for many years seemed to be dispersed by the tremor in this flurry of whistles, and Wendell's face changed the moment he heard the whistle: "It's a high-level alarm!"
They sounded the alarm!
”Hao Ren pouted: "Nonsense, a group of people are ready to form a group to storm the presidential palace, and if you don't pull the alarm, you will have a hole in your brain." ”The huge steel beam came to an end, and in front of them was the roof of a certain building, and everyone jumped off the steel beam, jumping between the roofs and eaves of the houses, and the city kept retreating under their feet, and at this moment, an unusually heavy footstep suddenly came from the surrounding area, followed by a majestic announcement: "Dangerous elements in front, stop immediately!"
We are the Steam Six, and you are surrounded!
Give up the resistance now, give up the resistance now!
”"Boom......
Click......
Bang......
Click......"
Heavy footsteps and strange metal grinding sounds sounded continuously, Hao Ren looked around curiously, and some surprising huge machinery soon appeared in everyone's sight.First of all, some huge claws on the surrounding eaves, then mechanical arms that constantly emit high-pressure steam, and finally massive, insect-like steel monsters.Black machines with a circle of mechanical arms, five meters tall, climbed up along the surrounding building facades, pipes, and steel beams, and the shape of these things was indescribable, very much like the product of Frankenstein in old-fashioned comics, with bodies that looked like spiders and scorpions mixed together, and eight to twelve rugged mechanical arms, high-pressure steam constantly leaking out of the valves and joint cracks on their bodies, and the snort sounded like the screams of these monsters in their throats, and in their bellies, Runi writing is shining.One of the largest mechanical monsters crawled in front of Hao Ren, two rows of small red lights like eyes flashed rapidly on the monster's head, one of the lights released a laser like a scanning beam, and the monster made a deep voice while scanning everyone on the scene: "Put down your weapons immediately, put down your weapons immediately!"
