Chapter 556: Moving forward against the world (3900 words)
"Who?"

Goodman looked at him and heard an unknown name.

Then he scratched his face and said, "I should have told you that I was only "granted" the memories I deserved. I heard a lot of things from Qingyue girl."

It wasn't surprising that Luo Wei nodded.

Just as I was planning to find an opportunity to ask this question later, I saw Goodman suddenly shout, "Qingyue."

He subconsciously took a step back, his eyes widened and he looked at the guy in shock.

You actually called the goddess to a place like this! ?
He is worthy of being called the God of War, he is really brave.

There was no change around him. Then, there were two flashes outside the window. Goodman touched his chin and said, "This seems to be an Eastern god who has been on this continent since ancient times. Qingyue said that this ancient god must have had his power irreversibly separated, so he has been able to stay on this continent."

I see. So it is in the East, right?

"I have another question," Luo Wei said, looking toward the window. "I once said that this city has a sense of 'dislocation'. Does it still exist now?"

"Yes, she said," Goodman responded.

Is this so...

Luo Wei showed a thoughtful expression. If possible, he would rather not be there. There would be no need to think so much.

"Well," Goodman smiled, "even if you didn't deliver the final blow yourself, there's no need to be so obsessed with it, right?"

"You can just mock me," Luo Wei shook his head, "and there's nothing wrong with saying I asked for it."

"So, you have decided to take a path that goes against everyone else?"

Luo Wei looked back at him.

"Are you testing me?"

"Haha," Goodman smiled as he sat there, "You really have the quality of not letting 'the other side' misjudge you. It's rare to stick to your own judgment, especially in this situation."

"Besides," he continued, "I'm very curious why you had a gloomy face yesterday, but have made up your mind to take this path today. Aren't you humans the best at fighting with your brains?"

"Because I have guys like this here too." Luo Wei complained helplessly.

Then his eyes turned cold and he said, "When you followed them up the tower yesterday, you didn't notice anything unusual, right?"

"Well," Goodman answered him seriously this time, "indeed not."

"Whether it's the agents who put up fierce resistance along the way or the meaning of the giant tower itself, they all look genuine. If they're fake, it would be too much, don't you think?"

There is really no need for the agent to joke about such things.

This is like Zolman saying to the people of No Crown City, look, this is my mechanic goddess, this is the plan I have carefully prepared for many years, everyone come and chop her up - not to mention that this is a bit of an insult to their IQ, it's even a bit of an insult to Zolman.

"But maybe the absence of anomalies is an anomaly," Goodman closed his eyes. "Maybe it's a good thing that you didn't participate this time. You retained your own perspective on the issue, even if no one knows what you are still insisting on."

"is it?"

This guy can occasionally say something philosophical.

"Haha," Goodman stood up and smiled, "In that case, you can just go against everyone. I have a celebration party to attend later, so I won't bother you."

"..."

What the hell...

Goodman put on his coat and walked to the door, putting his hand on the door handle and then stopping there.

"I will check what's going on at the celebration banquet for you. If you need my help, don't worry. I believe in you."

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Luo Wei listened to his words and thought for a moment. Did Goodman suspect that there might be a traitor in the celebration banquet? There were indeed problems in each of the delegations. After each incident, it was impossible to investigate all the forces one by one. It was good enough to gather them together. I didn't tell him too bluntly because I didn't want to distract him because of this kind of thing.

And if he were there, maybe he wouldn't be exposed, which is also a possible direction.

While thinking about this, Luo Wei walked all the way to the door. After coming out of the door, he vaguely sensed something. When he raised his eyes, he met the gaze of Ayining who was coordinating the work of the knights not far away.

Luo Wei: "..."

Ayi Ning: "..."

Luo Wei: "..."

Ayi Ning: "..."

Grass.

"Do you believe me when I say I'm here to look for someone?"

"Really? Where is the person you are looking for?"

The colorful fluorescent sign behind Luo Wei kept changing colors, reflecting on his face, and the temperature of the air on the entire street seemed a little bit lower than that on his sister's seemingly calm face.

At this time, the receptionist of the brothel ran out in a hurry.

When she saw the two people, she suddenly looked panicked, and based on professional ethics, she hurried back.

Luo Wei turned around: "..."

Ayi Ning: "..."

Keng——

"Go explain to the King of Hell!"

Coming down the stairs of the three-story luxury hotel where they were staying, Elida and Nejie just walked out the door when they saw a figure being chased and hacked by a black-haired girl with a drawn sword behind him.

After seeing clearly that it was Rowe Brook, Nejie showed a rather surprised expression.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"It is said that he was caught red-handed outside the brothel..." said a passerby.

"Eh..." Nejie couldn't help laughing, "So he would go to that kind of place. But he's a man, so I can understand that."

Elida on the side turned aside coldly, as if she was too lazy to care about such things.

Nejie glanced at her from behind.

The actions taken by the five princesses today are quite interesting. It remains to be seen how the situation develops next.

……

That afternoon, in the lower city, the original base of the walkers.

Luo Wei sat on a wooden box containing materials with mixed feelings. Although his sister finally believed him 100% after he explained everything, the experience was still too scary.

But this time it was all thanks to her.

I don’t know where this road will lead to in the end, but I can imagine how difficult it will be to move forward against the world. I hope their final choice is the right one.

"Did you find anything?"

Thinking of this, he stood up and came to Felicia again, looking at the empty deep pit, and the cane no longer responded.

Felicia squatted on the ground and looked at the magic device in front of her. "Although I don't want to admit it, the reaction of the ground vein has indeed disappeared. Even if they send a new red crystal column, it will take at least several years to complete the connection with the ground vein silently."

"That means the crystal column is definitely gone, right?" Luo Wei asked.

"Yes," Felicia nodded after hesitating, "I can only come to this conclusion."

She had already visited the Lion Court Palace and the stronghold of the aristocratic district in the upper city that morning.

It was left here at last probably because one did not want to face what happened yesterday. A slight mistake would mean the whole city would be engulfed in flames.

Luo Wei put his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't burden yourself too much."

Felicia did not resist his concern, but just closed her eyes and sighed.

Then she calmed down and said, "Luo Wei - do you still remember that time you blocked the cannon for Wuguan City?"

"of course."

Luo Wei didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, "I'm afraid it's hard to forget."

Felicia opened her eyes and looked at the big pit and said, "At that time, I thought everything was over. All my efforts would be buried by that beam of light. After all, no matter how much you give, there will always be things that are not satisfactory in this world. I felt similarly last night, but I was not as desperate as I was at the beginning."

Luo Wei didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

For technology researchers, what is more unacceptable than having their results denied is that their results fail to come in handy at the critical moment of application.

"But you're different—"

She said.

"You gave everyone an impossible hope, and turned it into reality with your own hands. When the sealing of the magic cannon failed, no one expected you to stand up."

"So this time, I don't want to put pressure on you," she stood up and looked at Luo Wei, her expression more determined than ever before, "But if there really is someone behind all this who is fooling and manipulating the entire situation, trampling on people's self-esteem and beliefs, I swear to make him or them pay the price. For this, I am willing to provide any assistance, even if it means falling into hell and becoming a demon."

Luo Wei knew she was serious.

"Then it seems that we have reached an agreement on this matter again." He said with his eyes closed.

At least on this road, he is not alone in going against the world.

In fact, he had only one biggest doubt in the whole matter -

No matter what happens, how can it affect his arrangement? What is the point of doing something that does not weaken his plan?

You know what will happen if he catches you.

What awaits you afterwards is an overwhelming rage that is ready to go off.

……

Two days passed like this.

No new clues were found from beginning to end, and Lovelli began to feel overwhelmed.

"The people have started to resist, and they won't let them acknowledge the fact of victory, saying that I control the city and negate the efforts of everyone."

"The nobles are also beginning to feel dissatisfied. After all, such things are very time-consuming and costly. Since everything has been calm for the past three days, it would be completely foolish to continue wasting time."

There were some even more unpleasant things she didn't say, but it was obvious that she was very angry.

Something like he wanted to take the citizens of the city as hostages and seize power while the prime minister was away; he was trying hard to show that he had unique ideas; he simply refused to acknowledge the greatest credit because he didn't get it; the fire was actually a conspiracy of the fifth princess, otherwise how would she know so much about it?

What is my conspiracy!

What a bunch of ungrateful bastards! It’s better not to save this crappy city!
"Calm down," Luo Wei said soothingly, "Don't get so angry that you get sick."

The one under the greatest pressure is naturally Lovelli. They have thought of many response strategies in the past two days. However, going against the wishes of the entire city does not give them an advantage in public opinion. Scarlett, the second prince's subordinate, may also be involved. How could this woman miss such an opportunity?

"I'm not angry! I'm just describing the current situation. Who would get angry with these unruly people?"

Obviously she knew that she was angry, and both her thoughts and words were spoken in anger.

However, even though she was angry, she still did not fail to do anything she was supposed to do.

"You know you have to go on, right?" Luo Wei looked at her and said.

"I know!" Loveli sighed and said, "Since we have come this far, if I don't persist, it means that I have given up. Even if no one understands, it's not like we don't feel that there is something fishy going on. We just don't have evidence."

"Over at the diplomatic mission..." Ayining hesitated for a moment and said, "The Second Prince of Tihuo and the representatives of the adventurers are trying their best to stabilize the situation. Although the celebrations have long been out of control, people have been gathering in front of the annex and treating them as heroes."

"Public opinion in the tavern is also one-sided," Vanessa said coldly, "One side is praising, and the other side is belittling."

Going against the will of an entire city is a difficult choice indeed.

Especially since a large number of them are our own people, and we don’t trust their judgment.

"You'd better win the elite final tomorrow," Luo Fuli said angrily, "That way we can at least turn the situation around a little. This happened very suddenly, and we've been patching up the holes for the past two days. If we don't take a break, there won't be much room for us to maneuver."

The final?

Luo Wei thought about it thoughtfully, then nodded.

……

After the morning meeting, Luo Wei returned to the corridor, but did not go into his own room, but into another room.

He walked to the bed in the bedroom and looked at the girl with long dark blond hair lying there. Her eyes were closed, her face was still red, and she was breathing out hot air through her open mouth. Her whole body seemed to have a fever.

Girl: "..."

Luo Wei sat down beside the bed.

If it were someone else, he would have probably worried that this would drive his brain crazy.

A lot of things happened while this guy was asleep. With her brain, she will be completely confused when she wakes up.

Girl: "..."

Stare for a moment.

Luo Wei couldn't help but smile at her red face and soft breath. She could look so sexy even when sleeping. It was really amazing.

Sleeping Beauty?

Although her current physical condition might have a negative impact on her if he did anything excessive, Luo Wei still gently leaned over, closed his eyes, moved closer, and slowly kissed her lips.

Girl: "..."

The frown on her face relaxed after a moment. The girl didn't move anymore. Luo Wei kissed her lips bit by bit without any response.

After tasting the sweetness on her lips, Luo Wei slowly stood up and helped her push the hair on her forehead behind her ears.

Girl: "..."

After he left——

The girl's fingers moved slightly.
