Lin Fan found the people in this city were all despondent.
It was as if a massive mountain pressed down on their hearts, suffocating them.
"Halt! Who are you?"
A group of patrolmen appeared. They immediately noticed Lin Fan's group: a chicken, a ginseng, and a strange combination. Moreover, a unique aura emanated from Long Shen.
This aura was hard to ignore.
Lin Fan looked at the patrolmen, his gaze seeming to pierce through them, seeing deep into their hearts. He shook his head and said, "There is a light within you, but this light has deteriorated, mutated. It's not what I expected at all."
When the patrolmen heard these words, only one thought came to their minds:
Who are these people we've stopped?
What are they talking about?
They must be crazy.
Long Shen narrowed his eyes. Instantly, a terrifying pressure enveloped the patrolmen. Their pupils dilated sharply, and with a loud thud, they collapsed to the ground.
For Long Shen, it was all too easy. Small fries didn't deserve to stand.
"Lin Fan, we can hurry up. These are small characters, there's no need to say so much."
Although Long Shen spoke as if he understood, the truth was that Lin Fan's words were like a cryptic book to him. It was better to end things quickly, simply, and directly. No problems that way.
"Mm, thanks." Lin Fan thanked Long Shen. He hadn't expected Long Shen to be so understanding, knowing his current mood wasn't good and wanting to finish quickly.
Onward!
Onward!
Lin Fan stopped. He saw something familiar.
A statue stood in the center of the square.
Seeing Lin Fan stop, Long Shen was puzzled. He followed Lin Fan's gaze and also saw the statue.
The statue seemed to have existed for a very long time.
Its features had long been eroded beyond recognition.
But the statue seemed to be wearing a security guard uniform.
"Is that statue you?" Long Shen asked.
He was just asking casually. After all, Lin Fan's reason for stopping was definitely not random; there had to be a reason. And now, seeing him stop before the statue could only mean one thing.
The statue was probably Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't deny it but nodded. This gave Long Shen an indescribable feeling of surprise.
The face is unrecognizable, yet you dare to admit it. And you say it as if it's true.
"If it were the past, I would gladly accept the destruction brought by the passage of time, but not here. I don't want to see this. This statue shouldn't exist."
Lin Fan slowly raised his hand, his five fingers clenching. With a loud boom, the enormous statue instantly shattered, turning to dust and dissipating into the air.
Suddenly, the sky churned.
The world changed.
Everyone looked up at the sky. The perfectly fine sky formed a vortex, and raindrops began to fall. Although the raindrops were tiny, when they landed on people, they felt a suffocating sensation.
Long Shen said, "Are you sure that statue was you? Don't make a mistake, or it'll be awkward."
Lin Fan said, "No, I'm not mistaken."
Old Zhang said, "Mm, I believe you're not mistaken. When I saw that statue, I felt a sense of familiarity. But when did you come here? How come I didn't know?"
Lin Fan said, "I told you, I go back to a strange place every month. I always wanted to take you with me, but every time, something inexplicably makes me go alone."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Old Zhang understood.
Lin Fan patted Old Zhang's shoulder and said, "It's okay. If this happens again next time, I'll be able to find you and take you with me."
"Mm."
Long Shen continued to remain silent.
He had no right to speak since he didn't understand.
The people on the street noticed the long-standing statue suddenly disappearing and began to move hurriedly. The patrolmen also arrived at the scene to investigate.
For ordinary people, this seemed like a natural disaster, but for the patrolmen, this was definitely something unusual.
Soon, Lin Fan and his group arrived in front of a towering building.
The building was so tall that it seemed to reach the sky. Looking up, it was difficult to see the top.
"Stop."
There were guards at the entrance who stopped any strangers. People coming out of the building looked at these strangers with puzzled expressions.
Strange fellows.
A young woman with short hair, dressed in practical attire and with an expressionless face, came out. Seeing the situation, she didn't interfere and prepared to leave.
But suddenly, her pupils dilated sharply, as if an invisible wave had washed over her.
Then, she slowly turned her head and saw all the people who had rushed out collapse to the ground.
"Who are they…"
She muttered softly, her eyes filled with shock. For countless years, since the Traitors of Light successfully imprisoned the Light, no one had dared to cause trouble here.
Thump!
Her heart beat violently, racing rapidly.
Only when those figures disappeared from her sight did she gradually recover.
Lin Fan was like an ultimate tank, pushing through all obstacles. No one could stop him, no matter how many came. Long Shen, witnessing this, felt sorry for these people.
He didn't understand what they were thinking.
When the difference in strength reached a certain level, any resistance was futile.
If those hiding in the underground base saw this, they would be shocked speechless.
The Traitors of Light headquarters had many powerful individuals.
They had the Twelve Heavenly Kings.
The Four Gods.
These were all individuals possessing absolute power.
Any one of them could make those hiding in the underground base despair.
But now…
When they came out to stop Lin Fan, they were no different from those small fries. Their appearance before Lin Fan simply signaled their end.
The short-haired woman downstairs heard the alarms and screams from inside the building.
She went to a dark place and contacted the underground base.
Reporting the situation.
All she could think about was, who are they…
The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to know.
Finally, she mustered her courage, disconnected the contact, and ran directly into the base. She just wanted to know who they were and why they dared to come here.
She was still quite worried about the final outcome.
Because inside, there was someone who controlled the Light.
He was the god of this world.
Controlling everything.
No one could resist him.
For so many years, countless people had tried to save the Light, but all had failed. Therefore, in her heart, he was an invincible god.
Long Shen said, "This building is quite tall. We can just fly up."
"No… I want to walk up step by step," Lin Fan said.
Long Shen said, "There's an elevator."
"Mm, I know," Lin Fan said.
Therefore, they were currently in the stairwell.
"I'm tired," Old Zhang said.
Lin Fan said, "I'll carry you."
The ginseng didn't care. He just rode on the hen. It wasn't him doing the walking, so it didn't matter.
