After the Skyfall

Chapter 821 Conversation
In any world, power is the true passport.

After Li Yi displayed his extraordinary strength, the man named Zhang Yan immediately backed down. After all, a human who was immune to firearms was someone worth taking seriously.

Moreover, who knows what the upper limit of this person's strength is? What if the opponent can withstand even a missile?

Dealing with the dead was already a headache enough; he didn't want to deal with a superman on top of that.

“If you are sincere in talking to me properly, I can agree. But if you try anything funny or become my enemy, I don’t mind turning you all into dead men.”

Li Yi's gaze swept across the sky, where lightning filled the heavens, and the thunderous roar seemed to pierce through the sky. The lightning on his body spread outwards involuntarily, and everything around him turned to dust in an instant.

Occasionally, a streak of lightning would leap before Zhang Yan's eyes, making his heart pound with fear. He had no doubt that the power contained within that lightning was enough to obliterate him completely.

Zhang Yan doubted whether this being who wielded the power of lightning was even human.

"This, this was all a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we will definitely show enough sincerity and will never offend you again. I can guarantee it with my life," Zhang Yan said again.

"Let's go somewhere else to talk. I need to see your superior." Li Yi's tone calmed down, and the lightning surrounding him gradually disappeared. He was willing to give the other party a chance.

“Of course, I will inform my superiors immediately and have them speak with you.” Zhang Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then quickly stepped aside, gesturing for Li Yi to walk this way.

Although it's unknown what will happen next, at least the conflict has subsided for now.

As the armed men around them dispersed, only Zhang Yan and Li Yi remained on the street.

A black luxury car was parked at the end of the road.

The style is very retro, reminiscent of the 1990s, and a small brass bell hangs on the door handle of the vehicle, exactly the same as the bell on the white paper cordon line.

There was a driver on board, ready to drive at any time.

"Please get in the car." Zhang Yan opened the door for Li Yi.

Just as Li Yi got into the car, the brass bell hanging on the door handle suddenly started ringing again.

The appearance of this sound made Zhang Yan's face freeze instantly.

The bell only rings when there is a dead person inside the vehicle, and at this moment there are only two people inside: the driver and Li Yi. Obviously, the driver could not be the problem; they have both undergone rigorous selection.

The answer is obvious: this person has a problem.

However, the dead cannot be seen, and the person in front of us who possesses extraordinary power is definitely not dead. The only possibility is that there is a dead person next to this person.

This is a big problem.

Zhang Yan's expression changed repeatedly, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Sitting in the car, Li Yi glanced at it calmly and heard the sound of the brass bell on the door handle. If he wasn't mistaken, this was a method of detecting the presence of dead people in this world.

Just like the cordon that was used to seal off this area before.

"Don't be alarmed. There's someone lying on me, but for now, it's behaving peacefully and there's no danger," Li Yi said calmly.

Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Sure enough, this person who possessed extraordinary power also became entangled with the dead.

“Sir, this is no small matter. If it is not dealt with quickly, it could be life-threatening,” he immediately warned.

To know.

People who are normally haunted by the dead don't live to see dawn. It's night now, and there are only a few hours left until sunrise.

Li Yi said, "If it can kill me, then go ahead and do it. I want to know what methods the dead in this world will use to kill me. I hope it won't disappoint me."

He remained calm, while also wanting to see if the strange forces of this world could actually kill him.

Zhang Yan paused for a moment, looking at Li Yi with a sense of astonishment.

This person is too calm. He can remain unmoved even when he is being entangled with the dead. Can he really rely on that extraordinary power to withstand the danger tonight?

For some reason, he felt a strange sense of anticipation.

Think of this.

He took a deep breath and got into the car, reporting the matter to the authorities as well.

"Drive back to the department," Zhang Yan said.

Upon hearing the order, the driver started the vehicle without saying a word and drove quickly and smoothly forward along the road.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yan, in the car, recalled Li Yi's words and suddenly noticed something: what did he mean by "the dead in this world"?
Could it be that this person with extraordinary powers doesn't belong to this world?

Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and a huge doubt immediately arose in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The extraordinary power to control lightning and the aura that this person exuded were terrifying.

This fear is not the fear of facing the dead, but a kind of awe before the divine.

Yes.

gods.

The person in front of me felt like a god who was detached from worldly affairs. Although he looked like a human, he only looked like one. Once I got closer, an instinctive sense of awe and fear would rise up from my heart.

It was as if we were two different species in the universe.

"We'll have to investigate this matter back in the department. Perhaps this conversation will help us determine the other party's identity," Zhang Yan thought to himself.

The car continued on its way down the road.

Li Yi looked out the window at the city.

There weren't many vehicles on the road; most people traveled by bicycle. Those old-fashioned bicycles are almost nowhere to be seen on Earth anymore. He only remembered that when he was very young, his grandfather had one, and his grandfather often rode one of those bicycles to go grocery shopping.

However, the people in this world are not in good spirits. Everyone's face reveals a sense of depression. Although they have solved the problem of food and clothing, they still cannot feel happiness and joy.

Is this yet another world of despair?
Li Yi thought to himself.

He crossed boundaries multiple times and traveled to many worlds. The people in each world had one thing in common: they were not very happy. For example, in the world of Technology No. 6, the lower class was worse than pigs and dogs, while the upper class was living a life of luxury and debauchery.

For example, across the four seas and eight continents, powerful families monopolize martial arts, and ordinary people not only have their lifespans drained by ghosts and gods, but also have to work hard to earn a meager income to make a living.

Another example is the post-apocalyptic wasteland, which is even more tragic. Bio-engineered beasts have overrun the entire world, and survivors are forced to eke out a living in fortresses.
Of course, Li Yi had no right to criticize them, because the evolved beings on Earth were living a life worse than dog shit, with their lives hanging by a thread.

Suffering seems to be fairly present in all parts of the world.

Even though Li Yi's combat power reached the level of a demon king, he was still helpless in the face of these difficulties. He could only try his best to leave some hope in the world, lend a helping hand, and let some light shine in the despair.

"The energy concentration of the universe in this world is not high, similar to that of the Four Seas and Eight Continents. It is not suitable for cultivation. Moreover, there are dead people in such a place. I want to know how they survived all the way. Could it be that, like World 36, there are also ghost tamers?" Li Yi thought to himself.

Actually, the cosmic energy of World 36 is quite good, and there is a chance to develop spiritual cultivation.

However, that world possesses even more perverse supernatural powers, which completely stifled the path of cultivation. After all, even if you cultivate, you can't escape the killing patterns of vengeful ghosts one day.

Just when he was thinking wildly.

soon.

The vehicle drove past a gate and arrived in front of a building.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Yan had given prior notice.

As soon as Li Yi entered, he sensed a tense atmosphere, with many armed personnel secretly placing a curfew.

"Don't be nervous. If I really wanted to destroy this place, it would only take me a second. And let me make this clear: weapons of mass destruction are useless against me. If you have nuclear weapons, feel free to drop them. Those things won't kill me."

Although this clone would die if it tried to withstand a nuclear bomb, it wouldn't be foolish enough to do so. The moment it sensed the danger, Li Yi could escape dozens of kilometers away. Before the shockwave of the explosion even appeared, he would already be watching the fireworks from hundreds of kilometers away.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyes flashed with horror.

He was certain that the other person wasn't lying, but rather that they had absolute confidence in what they said.

In other words, the opponent is not just a superhuman being, but a moving natural disaster.

“You are definitely not from this world.” Zhang Yan moved his stiff lips and said these words.

Ordinary people might not be so sure, but as the leader of the team dealing with the dead, he had a good understanding of the world, so he was very confident in his judgment.

"I never said I was from this world." Li Yi opened the car door and strode out.

As his tall figure appeared.

The people around him became visibly tense, and countless subtle gazes fell on Li Yi.

Zhang Yan paused for a moment and then immediately got out of the car. He didn't know why, but he had a premonition that with the appearance of this person, the world would undergo a huge change.

This may be a historic moment.
