I have a city in another world

Chapter 6930 A Deep Sense of Powerlessness
Tim has a special identity; he is a hidden Alliance monk and a key target of the temple's vigilance.

If they stay put obediently, the temple will not make things difficult for them. However, if they are forcibly arrested without distinguishing right from wrong, it will inevitably cause greater chaos.

Before gaining absolute dominance, the temple needs to maintain stability as much as possible; compromise and appeasement are both appropriate options.

Tim, however, was different. He was activated by Mina herself and encountered unexpected events during his mission.

Once Tim is captured and reveals the truth under torture, Mina will inevitably be implicated as well.

The two sides had brief contact, and if they meet again, Mina's identity as a Descendant will be fully exposed.

Although the person who knows is an Alliance cultivator and belongs to the same faction, it doesn't mean he won't betray Mina.

Realizing the potential danger, Mina immediately made an excuse to leave the group and return home.

They then climbed over the wall and entered their neighbor's yard.

When Mina quietly climbed over the wall to secretly observe the yard, she immediately spotted Tim standing in the yard.

The guy was expressionless, standing still like a statue, with vines even wrapped around his legs.

If it weren't for the fact that the eyes could move, making it clear that this was a living person, it would be easy to misunderstand.

Mina was initially worried that this guy was deliberately bluffing her to come here.

But she had no choice but to come, because she simply couldn't afford to gamble.

Then Mina noticed something strange floating above Tim's head, in his blind spot.

It resembled a rope woven from iron wire, yet it emitted a faint red glow, with runes flashing on its surface.

Upon seeing this object for the first time, Mina felt a shiver run through her heart, an indescribable sense of death washing over her.

This inconspicuous thing can kill you instantly!

The thought that flashed through her mind made Mina hesitant to act rashly. She had originally wanted to enter the courtyard, but now she began to hesitate.

If she doesn't enter the courtyard, her identity might be exposed; if she does enter, she might be attacked by the mysterious iron chains.

Or, like Tim, they are controlled by mysterious iron chains, frozen in place and unable to leave.

Mina cannot accept this outcome and will not put herself in danger, otherwise the situation will completely spiral out of control.

Seeing Tim unable to move, a murderous intent arose in her heart, and she silently raised the gun in her hand.

Simply aim, lock on, and pull the trigger to kill Tim.

Then make up a reason, saying that Tim is an Alliance monk who is trying to attack him.

Mina had no choice but to shoot and kill him.

As an ordinary person, it is indeed possible to kill a cultivator if one is armed.

Moreover, in such a chaotic environment, no one would investigate too much, not to mention that Tim is indeed an Alliance monk.

It's entirely plausible to say that he was involved with militants in the attack.

If Tim dies, the threat will be eliminated.

The thought flashed through his mind, and his weapon had already locked onto the figure in the courtyard. He was about to fire the weapon the next second.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the iron chain above Tim's head emitted a red light, and a chilling aura locked onto Mina.

Mina felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She was acutely aware that if she dared to fire, she would instantly lose her life.

It wasn't an ordinary death, but a complete annihilation of her soul, causing her to vanish from this world.

Mina simply couldn't afford such a terrible price.

At the same time, Tim also suddenly sensed something and looked toward where Mina was hiding.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly chuckled coldly. Then he lowered his voice and said, "I have a sensor chip inside my body. If I suddenly die, it will send out some information."

Some of this information is directly related to you, and the temple can easily find you.

Tim is issuing a warning to Mina not to betray her after she has served her purpose, or they will all die together.

Having been betrayed by his superior, Tim trusts no one now. Now, facing difficulties during a mission, the mission's sender even tries to kill him to silence him, fueling his rage and hatred. These damned bastards deserve to be torn to pieces; not a single one of them is any good!
Tim felt a deep disgust and decided to leave the official organization, no longer wanting to remain in this filthy group.

Having received the warning, Mina could only sheathe her weapon, but still did not show herself.

Tim couldn't be sure of her identity, but if he chose to show himself and make contact, her identity would no longer be able to be hidden.

Continuing to communicate covertly, without direct contact, is a good thing for both sides.

The problem is that Mina simply cannot accomplish what Tim asks her to do.

That red iron chain, its origin unknown, exuded a chilling aura.

Not to mention Mina at this moment, even if she herself came, there would be no way to help her.

Like an ordinary person facing a flaming oil well, all they can do is watch and observe.

If you dare to try to get close and do something beyond your capabilities, the end result will be utter destruction.

Mina was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

"You seem to be having some trouble?"

A sudden sound rang in her ears, making Mina tremble. She then turned her head to look to the side.

A young man stood quietly, smiling at her with a kind and natural expression.

But this gentle appearance seemed sinister to Mina, giving her a chilling feeling.

"you again!"

This young man she met by chance has now become her nightmare, and she is desperately trying to avoid him.

After going around in circles, I realized that I had no way to hide. The other party was like a ghost, always appearing at the most crucial moment.

Mina wanted to escape, but ultimately chose to give up because she knew she couldn't escape anyway.

Furthermore, avoidance does not solve problems; it only allows problems to accumulate until they become unmanageable.

At this point, we can no longer pretend to be ignorant; we must choose to face the situation directly.

If the problem can be solved, that would be ideal; if it cannot be solved, there is no need to continue struggling and wasting time.

This insurmountable force could decide her life or death with a single word and easily erase all her life's efforts.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing her fear, Mina decided to face it calmly.

"Who exactly are you, and why are you staring at me? Have I offended you in any way?"

Mina had many guesses about Tang Zhen's identity, but every result was unbearable for her.

All we can do right now is to talk things out and hope for a positive outcome.

Looking at the woman in front of him, who looked depressed and pleading, Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't make things difficult for you. We just met by chance and we're neighbors. How could I have offended you?"

Upon hearing Tang Zhen's answer, Mina couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling as if he were mocking her.

She wanted to argue that the courtyard did not belong to Tang Zhen, but then she thought about it and felt that something was not quite right.

How can she prove that the courtyard did not belong to Tang Zhen? Without proving this, she cannot refute Tang Zhen's statement.

Such self-justification is the most vexing thing, especially when facing such a powerful being. Those self-justifications seem more like excuses, filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Whether self-proof is useful or not depends entirely on the other party's decision.

If one is dissatisfied, a single, casual remark can negate all the efforts of the person who sought to prove themselves.

"Why have you imprisoned this person?"

Mina changed the subject, pointing to Tim in the yard.

"Shouldn't trespassing on private property be punished?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen couldn't help but ask a question in return.
