Chapter 817 Indulging in a Dirty City

"Although I don't know if it's right to say this, are these people so willing to be controlled?"

After two days of secret operations in the city, Laurent finally got a rough idea of ​​the situation here - the city is closely monitored by the organization formerly known as the Enforcer Academy, and everyone must turn in the full amount of the Origin Crystal they obtained outside. , in exchange for currency that can only be used in this city.

Although there is no problem in theory, the residents here can only earn an income barely above the subsistence line.Most people have no chance to stock up on supplies to survive independently outside the city, and can only survive under strict rules.

"Brother, it's not like they haven't thought about resisting. But here even just a few complaints will be monitored."

Luvina has been trying to mentally manipulate ordinary residents to obtain intelligence, but each time it does not last long before she is discovered by surveillance.But now that the city has increased its vigilance, if you continue to use this method, you may encounter danger.

"We need to find a new breakthrough."

Although Loren had an alternative plan, his key trump card could only be used once.If you act rashly, the other party is likely to hide key information.

"Then we can only go and see that...exploration qualification assessment meeting."

Most residents are not allowed to leave the city even if they have certain combat capabilities. They can only make a living by collecting naturally occurring crystal fragments, while a small number of people who pass a certain test can become guards or explorers, thus serving for a short period of time. to leave this prison.

Although participating in the test directly is the most intuitive way, Lauren is still in a state of covert operation.Rosalin's Shadow Abyss spell is still effective, and the surveillance equipment in the city is still unable to capture his whereabouts.Therefore, Luo Lun would not take the initiative to reveal his whereabouts unless absolutely necessary.

"Hopefully I can find something different."

The evaluation meeting was not open to the public, but Laurent and Luvina easily sneaked into the tightly guarded venue.This seems to be the original training ground of the Law Enforcement Academy, but it has now been transformed into a huge facility.A large number of automatic machines are wandering in this area, seeming to be doing some special work.

"What the hell is this place preparing for?"

After the autonomous mecha sent a group of unarmed residents into the field, they left.Lauren, who was hiding in a high place, had doubts about this. If the residents' combat capabilities were to be evaluated, they should at least be tested on their weapon adaptability first.

But these residents were just sent to the site.

"Someone's coming out over there."

Just when Lauren was about to take a closer look at what was strange here, several people dressed in strange clothes walked into this area from outside.After seeing these people, the residents who were sent here seemed to be afraid of something, cowering and trying to hide among the crowd.

"Congratulations, it is truly an honor to be selected as a candidate for the 'Hero'."

After making a cold and blunt announcement to the residents like a machine, the strangely dressed people quickly divided into two lines, as if they wanted to welcome the arrival of something.

"juvenile!I just got some key information here! 』

Rosalind's voice suddenly came from the communication, but Lauren had no time to care about things over there at this time.Because right in front of his eyes, an amazing scene suddenly happened——

The disguises of those strangely dressed people were suddenly stripped away, revealing their completely mechanical bodies.However, after a blink of an eye, their bodies disintegrated and turned into countless small parts that came together.

"The "Yulong" here is not what we thought before!That guy is..."

Countless mechanical parts reassembled in the twisted whirlpool, turning into a huge and alien human body.Under such a strange and terrifying scene, some people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground and lost the courage to stand.

"I am the 'hero' that mankind prays for."

Strange energy flowed on the surface of the huge humanoid mechanical body, and strange black flames ignited in the furnace-like chest. Like a demon that wanted to devour all the humans in front of it, it slowly moved forward. .

"To save this world... I offer your soul!"

"...It's a monster created using Ophelia's wrong theory! 』

No matter what the answer is, Laurent can't just watch the mechanical monster devour human souls here.He immediately lit up the terminal on his wrist and activated the trap he had laid before.

No matter what the thoughts of the person who created that monster are, human souls should not become fuel for wanton consumption - what is the difference between such evil deeds and those of celestial beings?
"Whatever it is...I'm going to kill it now!"

All the Shadow Abyss spells melted away at this moment, and Laurent, who was holding the black gun blade tightly, jumped from the high platform and landed in front of the huge machine.

"The system is under attack, error...intruder found, excluded...hero mode, activated."

The network in the city has been destroyed by the previously set program, but this huge machine does not seem to be affected much.The black flames burning fiercely in the hollow chest were like the screams of those innocent souls being swallowed, causing boundless fear in the hearts of those who looked directly.

"Disappear, Destroyer... I am the hero Youlong!"

"I'm sorry that I get annoyed hearing this name now!"

The panicked residents behind him had already fled in all directions, and at this moment, Lauren's left hand also shone with a blue light. Facing the crazy machine like a giant, he looked very calm and calm.

"Although I don't know why those guys gave your strange thing such a name, but..."

As if the Holy Phoenix was coming in person, blue flames spurted out from Luo Lun's body and gathered into beautiful wings behind him.The blue flame that seemed to have some kind of will turned into his power like some kind of blessing.

"People who are already dead should just leave the scene obediently!"

The black gun blade entwined with the blue phoenix flame turned into a sharp blade that cut off foreign objects.And the machine with the name of a false hero also moved its own limbs, trying to devour the soul of the human in front of it.

But they are not the only ones performing on the stage.

"Wait a minute, boy."

The black shadow squirmed and turned into a human form, and the Lord of Shadow Abyss arrived on the battlefield without knowing when.However, she didn't seem to expect a winner between the two sides, and instead used her own power to isolate them.

"Don't shoot it, I need this guy to be whole."
