Charles wants to overturn the three laws?
snort!
That kid just wants to enjoy the same privileges as Morgan!
But Charles did indeed set an example in the open... Of all the things Red Girl said during the day, only the last sentence was true! He 'helped' Charles by making the hole he had made in the Three Laws even bigger, or even completely shattering the Three Laws!
That's the real brilliance!
If violence is used to suppress him, Kun Jie has now figured it out: even if Mark is not slit in the throat and successfully becomes the next city lord of the Lighthouse, the process of changing the Lighthouse system will inevitably encounter many obstacles, not only from the Light and Shadow Society, but also from the vast majority of the upper class who will inevitably obstruct Mark from promulgating the new system!
Even if successful, the lighthouse will inevitably experience a considerable period of instability! If, during this time, some of the lighthouse's critical facilities are neglected and malfunction, causing the lighthouse to descend—
That would destroy the entire lighthouse!
And what about Hong Guniang and the others?
While seemingly becoming Charles's subordinate, he was actually seizing power in another way, gradually undermining Charles's authority.
According to Kunjie's plan, once Red Girl completely controls the city's hundred reserve soldiers and exposes the old city lord Morgan, Charles can then abdicate in a matter of course.
Back then!
That opportunistic Seng wouldn't oppose Hong Guniang, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin for the sake of a sickly city lord...
# Chapter 1155 Call Me Master!
"So insidious?"
Listening to Kun Jie's reasoning, Mo Chen was dumbfounded. "Charles's schemes and tricks are like child's play in front of the three of them!"
Erica, however, was incredulous: "But they don't seem to be hiding their purpose at all? Can this really be considered a conspiracy?"
"This is not a conspiracy. There's a term in the old world called 'open conspiracy'."
Kun Jie instructed the three, "Conspiracy can be foiled, just like Charles's methods against Mark. If we knew in advance who Charles had bribed, we could have stopped it."
A well-intentioned, overt strategy means clearly laying out one's plans in the open, making them unpredictable and forcing others to watch helplessly as events unfold in the direction they least want to see.
I originally thought this was just a story from an old-world storybook, but the changes that have taken place in the Lighthouse over the past two months have changed my mind!
If they truly care for all humanity, then perhaps they are the true hope of the beacon!
Flying Snow pondered.
Mo Chen remained silent.
Erica sighed, "If only Captain Mark and Lieutenant Ran Bing hadn't gotten into trouble."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."
Feixue suddenly spoke up, "The three laws have been exposed because Dustman 4068 has been promoted to Upper Citizen and has replaced Captain Mark as the Hunter Commander—"
How much contribution would that require?
In an instant.
The atmosphere was quiet.
The four of them had the same thought: 4068 had been bribed by Charles and used the spines of a porcupine to cut Mark's throat!
“But when Lieutenant Ran Bing and Captain Mark were exiled, he went to help them…” Erica remained reserved.
"Perhaps he feels guilty."
Mo Chen, however, had already formed a preconceived notion: "Three days later, the hunter team will also go to the ground to collect supplies. The first group led by Red Girl will most likely become the hunter team's 'bodyguards' this time. Perhaps we can find an opportunity to ask them about it down below?"
"After Red Girl goes to the ground, we need to stay here with the city defense forces to keep an eye on the members of the other four groups... Be patient for a while, there will be opportunities. After 4068 became the commander of the hunters, the first task Charles gave him was to find Mark. Before this task is completed, no matter how much supplies he collects, he will not be able to hold onto his current position."
Kun Jie shook his head, but 4068 definitely needed to be interrogated, it was just not the right time yet.
"Why did Charles bring Captain Mark back? To study the Devouring Beasts?" Erica asked, concerned. "Wouldn't it be better to just capture the Devouring Beasts directly?"
"God knows what Charles is thinking?"
Kun Jie didn't want to think too much about anything involving Mark; he was only concerned with how the four of them should get involved when 4068 actually carried out the mission of "bringing Mark back"...
···
"Is finding Mark the first real, official mission for Shadow as a commander?"
Red Girl overheard Mo Chen and the others' conversation. After a moment's thought, she immediately realized the special nature of Mark as an individual.
Zhang Zhiwei once encountered a "corpse immortal" in the Wuxia Coffin Mountain, which took hundreds of years to fully take shape. However, Mark, the previous commander of the hunters, seemed to have replaced the original spine with a headless spinal cord worm, which quickly fused with it and was then forged in the furnace, becoming the monster that everyone talked about.
[This plot is like sending Sun Wukong into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, but instead of burning him to death, he was reborn from the ashes!]
Lu Jin complained in the "group chat".
So, that adjutant Ran Bing was the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir" that helped him achieve complete "success"?
Zhang Zhiwei seemed to be deep in thought.
Lu Jin: [Brother Zhang, do you have any compassion?]
Zhang Zhiwei: [Didn't you start the joke?]
Besides, do you really think Ran Bing is dead?
The fleshy soil on the ground was caused by the complete cleansing of a person's innate Qi... I estimate that his soul also merged into the innate Qi and entered Mark's core together.
Although those Devouring Beasts weren't particularly strong, in terms of ability, this wasn't just reaching the Heavenly Realm, but rather touching upon the level of "Qianxuan Creation"!
The girl in red said: "They are products of higher dimensions and cannot communicate with Earth's heavens, so they gave Earth a different 'heaven' - the Mana ecosystem."
Under the jurisdiction of this "Mana Heavenly Dao", as long as the core of the Devouring Beast is not destroyed, the other party is almost immortal. Not to mention getting close, it would not be surprising if it could actually achieve "Qianxuan Creation" and do what Nuwa did to create humans from clay.
Mark's ability to fuse with the Spine Worm and become the Devouring Beast in such a short time may be related to the thing at the core of this lighthouse that can block the detection of spiritual power.
And if we want to find Brother Jiang, Mark might be a clue...
After ending the "communication," Hong Guniang glanced at Kun Jie and the others in the distance, who were discussing how to participate in the search for Mark in the future, and then quietly left. She found Wu Chenxi, connected with her body using her own magnetic field, and with a slight touch, helped her open the Ren and Du meridians and complete the Small Heavenly Circuit.
With Hong Guniang's methods, there would be no side effects.
However, in terms of cultivation alone, if a Qi cultivator does not personally experience the process of circulating Qi through the microcosmic orbit, it is considered to be taking a shortcut, which will lead to instability of mind and temperament.
But with no one available right now, we can only "force growth" – this is also why Mo Chen, Fei Xue, Erica, Kun Jie and others were able to master the Small Heavenly Circuit in a short time.
"Is this what it feels like to control the essence of life?"
Once the Ren and Du meridians are opened, one can feel the Qi circulating within the body, and the whole body seems to be filled with an unimaginable power, as if a single punch could pierce through a steel plate.
Boom!
She was a woman of action; she punched the pigeon coop door, leaving only a shallow fist mark, and then—
"hiss!"
Wu Chenxi gasped in pain, shaking her right hand and blowing on it as if to lessen the pain.
"Oh."
Seeing her comical behavior, Hong Guniang recalled her own actions when she first mastered the Qi sensation, which were almost identical to Wu Chenxi's. She couldn't help but smile, then her expression turned serious. "Theoretically, you should take it one step at a time, but time waits for no one. You must quickly master the Small Heavenly Circuit in order to face the severe challenges ahead."
You only have three days. Quickly familiarize yourself with this small circulation technique, and while you're at it, try to feel the sensations of Qi flowing to your brain.
"brain?"
"Yes, the brain. In the path of cultivation, there is the concept of innate special abilities, which can spontaneously awaken under certain conditions. Your hair is so long, it is definitely related to the development of your brain. Experiencing it more, you may be able to awaken your own unique innate special ability."
Red Girl didn't hide anything and revealed one of the reasons she chose Wu Chenxi: "Tell me about your innate ability later, and I'll tailor a cultivation method for you."
"Thank you."
Wu Chenxi was extremely grateful.
The young woman smiled and said, "Call me Master."
"What do you mean?"
Wu Chenxi was puzzled.
“In the old world, the master-disciple relationship was that of both teacher and father… In our case, after the master-disciple relationship was established, you and I were like mother and son.”
"Mother?"
"Let's call him Master."
"Master!"
# Chapter 1156 The Three Laws Exist in Name Only
Three days later.
At the lifting platform.
The first group of reserve city defense troops led by Red Girl and the hunters led by Shadow arrived on time.
"Hmph! Now they actually want me, the prayer official, to pray for a bunch of commoners? How unlucky!"
When Buli, the blessing officer of the Light and Shadow Society, saw the Dust People mixed in with the new generation of city defense troops, he had a dark face and muttered a complaint under his breath.
"I think you could speak a little louder."
Jessica, the research director who was a short distance away from Brie, glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin, who were about three to five meters away from her, and said with a smile.
"Did I say anything? I didn't say anything!"
Noticing Zhang Zhiwei looking over, Buli trembled for a moment, his prayer robe shaking, fearing that Zhang Zhiwei would find a loophole in the three laws and thus trip him up.
To know!
Ned is still recovering from his injury and hasn't fully healed yet!
"Speaking of which, your mouth drools... When did you get your teeth fixed? You spit as you talk." Seng noticed the drool on his shoulder, his expression slightly displeased.
“Yes, I think the blessing will be more effective after you get your teeth fixed,” Jessica said in a slightly teasing tone.
"really?"
